Man what three weeks I have just had! My computer went out 3 weeks ago Friday. Don't know why but it just did. Nothing but a blue screen. I have a Dell so I called them for help. Well did you know that all Dell tech support is in India? I didn't, but I do now! We tried all kinds of trouble shooting with no results. so they had to send me a couple of CD's. They said I would get them in 3 to 4 days. Well after 4 days I called DHL to see where they were and they said that they only had my po box and they needed my street #. So I was going to give it to them but they said they had to get it from Dell. I called dell and told them what was needed. Waited another few days then called DHL to see where it was they had the wrong street # they were missing 1 #. Called Dell again and gave then the # again. waited a few days called DHL. They said they had the street# but not the street name.OMFG!! Called dell again and told them what was up. So they again called DHL with the correct address. I finally got the CD's on Friday morning. Called Dell and told them I had the CD's. (voice mail) and they finally called me back Saturday afternoon. I LOST EVERYTHING ON MY COMPUTER!!! :( I am just sick. I lost all of my family pictures and my weight loss journal EVERYTHING!! I learned my lesson. put everything on cd's.
Sorry to ramble but I have missed all of you terrible!! I didn't realize how addicted to LBT I was until I couldn't get here.
My Weight loss is slowly but shirley going down. With all the stress I thought I would gain , NO I am down another 5lbs. YEA!!! I go for another fill next Tuesday with my Surgeon under Flouro. I can eat anything I want to right now but don't because I will NOT FAIL THIS TIME!!!
I hope everyone else is doing great and I will try to catch up on my PM's as soon as I can.
Love ya and missed ya and GLAD to be back!!! :)

Hi Kathy,

Naw, floppy's don't hold very much. Best to get a cd or dvd burner and do it that way.

Terri - welcome back :) Losing your stuff is never fun - glad to hear its all sorted now though.

If anyone else goes through this experience, before you let dell reformat your drive check around. Some computer gurus...not just people trained to fix everything by reformating your computer, could have probally saved this stuff! I feel sick for you. I so dislike big companies like this. And more and more companies are sending our tech support jobs to India....it really sucks.
