Losing 15,000 family pictures and memories! Trying to save our precious photo memories. What parent doesn’t want to take a picture of their child. I’m sure most parents like myself have hundreds if not thousands of pictures of their children. A picture of a first step or a first birthday - these photos all stored away in boxes and tubs in a closet. How many families have lost thousands of precious memories because of flooding or fire and all these pictures and memories are gone. The solution has been to move over to digital cameras and digital pictures - you not only save closet storage space, but you can save all those pictures on your computer. What most of use do not consider is - what if your computer goes down? My brother-in-law gave me a call once, he needed me to help him fix his computer.

I need my Internet Fix -am I addicted, no ??

I need my next fix – Am I addicted? Well here I am in the library trying to write my post on my blog when I realized I have a serious addiction. And I didn’t even know it! What happened? Well, my computer crashed and it’s in the repair shop – it’s been 6 days and I’ve spent all my time thinking about my computer, finding and using other computers with internet access in order to log on to my sites and blogs. Then it hit me, I’m like a junkie running all over town looking for my fix? I can’t believe it. I didn’t realize how needy I am. How much I obsess with my online activities. Yea I thought I spent too much time online – but, when you have to go cold turkey… you start to crave it even more.

Nice clean, slick, set up with all my list of fav’s and ready to guide me in this online world ....... Oh God help m
