I really want to scream.(and cry)
I wish I could make you laugh, but I am not in a laughing mood. For good reason too, I think. My husband, while his intentions were good, messed up. And now I am in a panic. Here is the story.The problem: No computer space on either of our computers (well, almost none.)
Solution: Buy DVD's, put all of our pictures on them, and delete them off of computers.
Jon's alternate solution that Heather wasn't fond of: Transfer all of Heather's pictures to Jon's computer and then put them on his external drive.
What Heather said to Jon: "Fine. But you better be careful and do not lose ANY of my pictures of Rowan."
Jon's reply: "I'll be careful and make sure I have everything before I start to delete things off of the computer."
Transfer takes place.
All pictures (that I had nicely organized) are now gone from my computer and somewhere on the abyss that is Jon's computer.
Last night I go to make a post.
I go searching for a folder named "newborn to 1 month." Only to discover it is GONE. Not only is that one gone, but so is the "hospital" folder. That is right, the first pictures ever taken of my son are gone. As you can imagine I am fuming. I tell Jon to get on it and find my pictures. I basically told him YOU WILL find my pictures, failure is not an option here bud. Well, he is able to retrieve SOME pictures. Last night was not a happy time in our home, and neither is this morning, as I am discovering more folders are M.I.A. The folders that I was most worried about are the ones that get lost in this stupid transfer.
So I am feeling a gamut of emotions right now.
Mostly I am mourning the lost pictures of my firstborn.
Tear.
Oh no I hope you can find them. I feel like crying for you!
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel but I was the culprit not Tony! I burned up our computer by placing too much paper over the fan motor and it got hot and quit completely! I lost ALL my pictures! Colby was able to retrieve a few but I lost all our wedding pictures and the 1st 4 years of our life together. It really sucks. Hope Jon can retrieve them ....for his sake! LOL
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. Aaron recorded over Ryan first 8 months of life on our video camera. There is no way to get that back. Aaron was in the dog house for a little while too :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry! I'll keep my fingers crossed he can find them. You need something to show Rowan's girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteAck!!! There are a few "undelete" and file recovery programs out there, so I'd take that option ASAP - before the file space gets overwritten. Sorry to hear about the event; hope the undelete stuff works!
ReplyDeleteAlso, might consider something like carbonite.com - external, remote backup in case, say, your apt. (with its backups) burns down or something....
Good luck!!!
Suck, suck, suck! That happend with JT too, thankfully the hospital had put his newborn pictures on a hard disk (seriously 6 years ago!) so we had those but we lost everything that we had taken. Boo! I hope Jon can find some more for you.
ReplyDeleteyou have some on your blog! At least you can recover some of those. And LaVerne I have all of your pictures on an external hard drive. We just bought it and we are going to bring it over to you soon.
ReplyDeleteGirl...I've been there...and sucks!!!!....sorry!
ReplyDeleteOh no. I am so sorry. He definitely should have listened to you. Oh I hope he can find them for you. Big bumber!
ReplyDeletewell.. LITTLE ADVICE.. I upload all our pictures to snapfish or photobucket.. for cases like these... It's well worth it. It sucks to lose pictures I know.. I've lost some in my shuffle before too!.. I hope it gets resolved...
ReplyDeletegrr, that truly sucks a nut. At least you are a faithful blogger, and alot of your pics are on here...right???? :)
ReplyDeletesorry yo
NOooo!!! That is one of my big fears. I want every picture backed up 4 times even if they are in a big jumbled mess. Hopefully they will turn up. :( And at least you were an avid blogger, so you have some good ones trapped in cyber world at your fingertips at any time.
ReplyDeleteoh no!!! I hope you find them. That would be a total travesty!!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry! That is the worst...has totally happened to me, now I am paroniod and back things up in 2 places. That really sucks, some things are just not replaceable...and priceless. Try and feel better ok...maybe your families have some...
ReplyDeleteaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. Did you have any even printed?
