Backup? Who needs stinkin backup?

Umm EVERYONE who values the files one their PC is who! Hi, my name is Wayney and I'm an idiot. I should have learned when BC had his slight problem of a seriously screwed up PC and kinda sorta lost everything. But did I? Nope. Actually, I was in the process of doing some organizing and cleaning so that I was not dealing with old files, duplicates etc etc. yesterday so that I could do a backup and I kinda sorta deleted a bunch of font files. No problem right? Except I lost a very important font file. Something that put the little X on every window to allow you to know which button to press to say close it. I lost text on pretty much ALL buttons. I opened one program and it looked blank because it had no text to read. So lesson one: don't delete any system font files! Lesson two: make a regular back up of your PC files.

The Gorilla In Your House

This Is My Blog: The Gorilla In Your House

This post is a VERY good analogy for living with chronic illness. I was pointed to it from a post on 4RATalk. And I found it to be good reading. It's so true that living with illness is like having a gorilla here. You can't ignore it completely....I mean really, who could ignore a gorilla sitting in someone's house? You do need to learn to live with it and not constantly fight it. It's not easy all the time. And sometimes even after learning to live with it....something happens and you have to adjust all over again. Like when the gorilla invites his friends over to party. Yeah that's always fun.
