Offline for a While
August 30, 2009 | Filed Under Announcements
Shortly after my last post, due to lightning during a thunderstorm, I lost all the computers in my home. I also lost access to the internet. The external hard drive where I saved all my photos and other stuff were destroyed, too. When I get a new computer and am back online, I’ll be back blogging and visiting your blogs.
Best,
Paz
Ed. Note: Thanks, everyone, for your comments. I recently ordered a new computer and can’t wait for it to arrive!

Oh no! I’m so sorry that happened to you Paz. A storm once fried my computer, so I understand how upsetting it is. Apart from that horrible mishap I hope everything else in your world is going ok. See you when you’re back online again! xo
Oh my god! That is so terrible! Let’s all back up religiously from now on, including an offsite backup. Would surge protectors have saved your computer? You have my deepest sympathy.

Hi, Paz! So great to see you back even for a moment! So sorry you’ve been offline and all the trouble with you computer… Hope you’ll be back online soon! Thinking of you…

Oh, Paz, I’m so sorry! I’ve often worried about lightening and my computer. Nice shot of the trumpeter. Please come back soon!
You have been missed. I’m glad it was for this cause, and not because of any physical reason.
So sorry to read this. I know how awful it can be. I’m trusting that my external hard drive will never let me down! I wonder if this happened in spite of a storm surge master or whether you did not have one.
Enjoyed catching up on New York minutes. Brings back memories of my many visits there.
How horrible! I do hope you have your photos saved somewhere else too, online perhaps, it would just crush me if I lost all my photos I think… Positive thoughts coming your way!!
*hugs*
Paz, once again, I’m so sorry to hear that you fell victim to the storm.
It sounds like a stressful time right now. Do treat yourself well and we’ll be here when you return.
Paz, I am so sorry to hear this! What a bad thing… I hope all will be ok very soon!
A big hug to you my friend.
Hope you managed to salvage some of the pictures, at least!
a great capture Paz!

I wondered where you disappeared to! Gosh, what a thing to have happen…I’m sorry to hear that you lost all your files and computers too.
Sorry to hear about this incident.

Look at it from the bright side, its a chance for you to get a new set of computers.

I watched a rerun of September 11, 2001 last night. Brought back all of those memories.
Thanks for your visit to my Pick a Peck of Pixels Blog and for your comment there about Japanese trains and the toilets. And your visit helps me get closer to my original goal: 10,000 visits. Pick a Peck of Pixels
Oh no Paz! I’m so sad for you! I never thought that a lightening strike could even burn out an external hard drive.
I have been away on vacation the past two weeks — we went to the wonderful wild west to see a few National Parks. It’s good to be home but I miss my grandson.
Thanks, everyone, for your comments. I’m getting a new computer, soon.
Welcome back home, Pat! I’m sure your grandson misses you, too.
Paz
Oh NO! I just purchased an new Dell as my old Sony Vaio (7 years) is getting a bit slow. Love looking at the world through your eyes!
