IMPERATIVE!!!!!
YOU MUST SEE THE COMPETITION AT THE END
My Computer Crashed- I have No Idea why! It has never even Hiccuped prior to this. I had made so many customizable changes to it and now I have to try to reproduce them all. Arrrrrggggggh--- Multiple downloads and then configuring them all- At least I did burn a Disc of many of my favorite Applications so a lot of them are on that! Nice time off work eh?
And NO, Smarty butt- I didn't have a recent back-up, and YES it is my fault and I know I should! I do have a backup of all my applications- but as far as all my new pics and stuff- GONE!!!
I know--some of you are clapping because the spider is gone! And I had just pulled out a disc to burn those images too! Maybe they are still on the puter since I don't think I did a complete hard format restore of the drive! (but I'm pretty sure I did)-since I had to reconfigure Settings, fonts, firewall, desktop,favorites, IE7, ET.all, I probably did--(Yep- I was hungry. So I et it al!) I'll have to check and see.
But after installing the new Duct work (THE AC WENT OUT TOO!) at 102 degrees and a heat index of 114: I was beat. Hammer and AD and Matt- STOP laughing RIGHT NOW if you are reading this!!! The ladies in my life, I know are at least only snickering- cept Babs and she's LHAO!!!!! But one great thing came out of it!!! I didn't DIE! And with that kind of strain and at those temps- if my Thumping Gizzard handled that: well I think I'm good to go!!!
Any suggestions (I know Poopsy- don't buy a DELL-LOL) as to where my restore points or possible backups would be on the system and how to roll them back, if they did survive? Registry- file names...do a search for *.bak ??? The basic System restore option won't let me do it- but I thought maybe there is a way to go through the Registry...... Nah- belay that last comment- I can see the FLAMES now! LOL
It happened after I installed my new Printer but I don't think that did it. I changed the refresh rate on my Monitor settings and It would not let me get out of a black screen- said the refresh rate of 120 was not supported (I went 1024 x 768...I want this setting but everything is too small for these old eyes!) and that's where I stayed, until I reformatted. I tried everything-and once I went into BIOS--SYS.INI, BOOT Sector, etc! well....need I say more. This post will have to tide you over for a little bit. DO NOT MISS THE JEWELRY CONTEST THAT FOLLOWS- IT'S AWESOME!!!!! I'm not sure- but it looks an awful lot like....hmmm- Scarlet--No.....MonkeyGirl----No........I got it! That pic that was recently moved OFF a site now that she has "A MAN" in her life- LOL-- Yeppers- Dead ringer for LOVING ANNIE!!!!
DO NOT TELL ANNIE WHERE I LIVE-- I FEAR FOR MY LIFE: JUST KIDDING, MY DEAR, MY LOVE, MY SNOOKUMS, MY ORCA...I MEAN ORCHESTRA...I MEAN I'D BETTER STFU IS WHAT I MEAN--.
AN OLDIE BUT A GOODIE

ReplyDeletePS: So far the Lexmark is AWESOME- thanks for the suggestion Bro. How are you fairing with the Chillins??
John
kaylee- Yeah, I figgured it was open Heart- specifically is it to fix valves, hole in septum, blockage? You are just so young, Young lady- I just hate that you have to go through it.
However- you sound very mature and seem to have a great grasp of what it will take to make a speedy recovery! That kind of attitude will help you recover so much faster. Will you update us as soon as you can? And remember- squeeze your little Coughing Buddy Bear- you and he will be best friends for a while and that Laughter is the greatest pain medicine on the market for long term healing! LOL!!! God Bless you kaylee!!
What do you use to draw on for strength to make it through this, and keep the fear away? An Apple- or would that be a MacIntosh- yuk yuk!! Parent(S), friends, Faith???
Just curious.
John

How did the surgery turn out? Can you see better? How much Better? Was it worth the Expense, stressors, etc. for what you gained?

How are you FEELING???
John-
ReplyDelete20/25 in each eye, 20/20 together. Blurriness fading daily. I expect by next week I'll be 100% as long as I stay away from pictures like that one.
Totally worth it with a slight twinge once a month when I make a credit card payment.
Thanks for asking. Glad your heat-stroke inducing day didn't mess up your cath. Don't push it. I need my daily dose of corniness.
