Oopsie Daisy!

, , , , ,

I'm sure most of you noticed that I was gone for three days. You might not have realized how long I was gone, but I can imagine that some of you knew I was M.I.A. Here's the story:

Being the compulsive neat-freak I am, I decided I was going to clean up my computer and delete a bunch of files I never use or don't need. Everything was going along just fine. I had moved everything that wasn't a program file to my H drive. Well, in the process of doing all of this, I thought I had moved my picture folder to the H drive as well. I deleted the original folder - thinking I had copied it to the other drive.

I was wrong.

I lost about 15,000 pictures...give or take a few thousand. bigeyes I totally panicked! I have a lot of them backed up to DVDs, but I haven't done a decent back-up since before we moved to Oregon! yikes All the pictures and video of my Dad's visit were gone...etc.

Well, Lonnie ended up having to run some file recovery software on my computer. I wasn't able to touch my computer until it was finished. Three days later, here I am! It took three days to get about 75% of my pictures back. The other 25% are history, but oh well! I'd much rather have 75% of them than none of them! And yes - I got a lot of my Dad in there, so whew!!!

So there you have it. I'm not dead, nor is anyone else. I just pulled the biggest blonde moment of my life! DUH!

Allangieallangie Saturday, December 8, 2007 6:35:04 PM

Don't wink at me, Dennis bigeyes! I'm mad at you.
I got dressed up as a French maid, washed my hands, as you told me to and walked to your room. But you forgot all about me mad! Demerol doesn't cure sclerosis, I'm telling you p

H82typ Saturday, December 8, 2007 7:04:35 PM

Demarol doesn't cure anything, Alla, it just makes you not give a damn.
  It's brand name is "Damnitol" bigsmile

H82typ Saturday, December 8, 2007 7:08:35 PM

Borrow Karens whip,Alla and meet me in my room. You may whip me as you please, as long as you wear the French Maid outfit with the stillettos.
wink p

Allangieallangie Saturday, December 8, 2007 7:12:00 PM

Can only promise stillettos as for the rest- not sure rolleyes

Alla - I missed you, too! cry



David - Yeah, exactly! I'm just happy to have the really important ones. All the other ones can be replaced...kinda.

GO GET NUTELLA, DAMN IT! Then crack open the jar, grab a knife, and spread some on a cracker...any cracker will work! Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!! Once you've tasted it, you'll come up with better ideas of things to spread the tasty goodness on. Trust me!
