Frustration, Irritation, Sadness

I have not had very good luck with computer hard drives. The first one crashed but we were able to get everything off! Thank you to the computer guys! The second one I broke and we can't get anything off - unless, hope against hope, I send it out of state to some guys who might be able to work magic and save it for a hefty price. The third one died as well, and I guess we got everything off.... Except they didn't and I was sick about losing more pictures (from March to present). I was also sick because my external drive which has all the same stuff also died! What is up with this issue!?!?!? So my wonderful husband got a new external drive back in March and I was not excited about trying to figure it out and get things taken care of. Never procrastinate! As my computer hard drive started to act up last month I finally tried to copy everything over to the new external. It took some time and lots of praying that I could get it done before the computer crashed! I thought I did it but then I couldn't find anything and then it was done. I was relieved when I did finally sit down to try and figure out our new external drive and was able to find two extra folders of pictures and so life was not so bad. But then the computer hard drive crashed. I took them both in to the computer guys and they did get stuff off the computer drive but the external they declared dead and couldn't get anything off! Ack! Maybe I will send this to those magic workers and pay the hefty price so they can get all my treasured memories! I wish I had a pensive so I could just put them all in there. I bet that never crashes. If only it were real. Just thought I would share my inner most sickening feelings about it all. I need to find all my discs because I copied lots of pictures to discs. I just need to find time to look at them so I won't feel so sick about it all.
