You know there are moments in time when you wish you could go backwards just 30 seconds? Tonight was one of those moments as I watched my external hard drive get knocked to the floor by my son, breaking apart and not working anymore. It was one of those slow motion moments as I saw the box sliding across the table (he got his foot caught in the wire) and you hear yourself shouting "NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO". Yes that was me 30 minutes ago.
Lets see what do I have on my hard drive:-
About 100 GB worth of photos - yes 100 GB - every single photo I have taken since 2004 including all the commercial photos.
All the movies of the kids
20 GB of Digital Scrapbooking stuff
Artwork from various projects
Taxes
Business info
Pretty much my whole life for the last 5 years.
You know when you either think I am going to harm my child or cry? Cry its better for both of you.
You know when you are in the middle of a project and you are using your hard drive not your computer to save it, because you want to keep a back up - that was my back up.
You know when you think you are going to throw up - thats me right now - UGH!

OMG! I wish I had the skills to fix it for you....
Hugs & kisses xoxox
Wouldn't it be great if we could just rewind the clock? Just take back some of the things we say and do?
I'm sorry to hear about external hard drive. What a nightmare.
Oh shit. I'm of to back up.
OMG. I bet there is some computer geek out there who could retrieve your data for you. I happened to be married to a guy who built our own computer from scratch FOR FUN! And fixes it whenever it breaks - so I'm going to check with him right now and I'll email you if he has any helpful advice. Poor you!
Oh no. This is the kind of thing that happens in nightmares! That so totally sucks and I hope that maybe, just maybe some of it can be retrieved. What a bummer though, but this kind of stuff happens especially with small children around.
Oh no! So sorry to hear about that! See if you can find a computer guy to help you out. Maybe a solution can be found. Good luck. Hugs:)
holy crap. i am so sorry!
Please tell me that this is a fictional cautionary tale!
That is not even real...that is a nightmare. I hope you are able to recover everything!!!!!
I am wishing really really hard that you recover everything with the help of an expert geek!
This is when we're happy we're such Ludites, with print photographs and paper everywhere... Poor you, what a nightmare.
