A few days ago my computer had a massive fail. I had clicked on updates thinking it was no big deal and I was wrong. My computer had a total meltdown. I thought I was safe in that I had it backed up with another hard drive. Sadly that drive was defective and I only got a little bit of information back when my computer was rebuilt. My computer had to have a new hard drive installed and had to be reformatted. Luckily, I had the original operating disks. Sadly I have lost all my photos except those I posted on my blogs. I’m still processing this event. I also have the photos in the media files for this blog which is a help, I guess. Life goes on.
OH, Joy! I found a lot of my photos have been saved by Google so I haven’t lost everything! YEA!
I remember when computers were gonna make our lives sooo much better. Yeah.
To really screw things up it takes a computer! I’ll survive!
Julia, I’m so very sorry! That is a huge loss
I found that Google saved a lot of my photos I don’t know how that happened but I’m glad it did! Now to figure how to get them to the cloud and save them for good!
I am suspicious of the cloud. Its free now….but remember the song about the friendly stranger in the black sedan?
YUP, I think I’ll use both the Cloud and a seperate hard drive just to be on the safe side.
Hahaha Margot you are so right! Of course I’ve reached an age to where I’ve seen so much, I’m suspicious of everything!

Hi,
Could not respond on the blog for some reason, sorry about your loss of photos I know what that is like. It is one of the drawbacks to the modern way of doing things. Did you loose all the sailing photos and the farm? I may be able to send you what I have, let me know and I will start looking.
love Samantha

Thank you for your reply. I found some farm Photos on my blog account and recovered my sailing blog so I have a few photos there as well as some of my other blogs. I’ll have to figure out how to download these photos to my computer. I have decided that I cannot trust this computer anymore it has a used hard drive in it and who knows how long that will last so I’m buying another computer an all in one desktop for the house and I’ll use this or the IPAD when I travel. When things go bad they really go BAD!
Thank you for the offer I may take you up on it later.
Hugs and Love
Kay
Just let me know if I can help.
