Hi all! Sorry I haven't been around lately, but...
Shortly after my last post, nearly a month ago, my computer turned up it's toes and crashed mightily.
In spite of firewalls, anti-virus programs, scans and scrupulous paranoia when it came to opening e-mails, a nasty virus got in anyway and destroyed everything on the hard drive!!!  bear_angry  bear_angry 
Yup, all files gone with no hope of retrieving them. bear_sad   bear_cry

Most of it is redo-able with some work (frustrating though!) but I did lose a lot of pictures since it has been a long (long, long) while since I backed anything up or put anything on disc.  bear_cry   bear_cry  bear_cry 

Dang it.
bear_cry   bear_cry   bear_cry   bear_cry   bear_cry   bear_cry   bear_cry   bear_cry   bear_cry
Now of course, I feel like a real nitwit for not backing things up like I should. :doh:  :redface:  I know I should have put those pictures on cd's so it is my own fault I lost them but,

dang it

  anyway!
Mostly I hated losing the pics of my kids.  bear_cry  bear_cry  bear_cry  bear_cry  bear_cry

Anyway, I couldn't afford to get it fixed right away so I've had time to  come to terms with being such a nitwit bear_wacko  and I'm pretty much over it. 

I finally got the ole 'puter in to my local guru, got the problem officially diagnosed, hard drive wiped and reformatted, operating systems reloaded and now I'm happy to be back in cyberspace. Woopee! :dance:

I know ya'll probably didn't miss me as much as I missed you, but I surely did miss you and I'm happy to be back! :hug:

hugs,

We DID miss you!! I was wondering where you and your lovely avatar bear were!!! I had a huge virus (or trojan horse) on my computer in January (I think it was)... it was HORRIBLE  luckily I have startup disks for my computer and just wiped the computer out... sure, I lost pics but I am lucky that I had them on here and on my website!

Glad that you are back and up and running!!!  :hug:  :hug:
