These were a few of my favorite things

Tonight's the first time I've turned my computer on since last Friday and strange things are afoot. A new Google hotbar was installed, my browser history was deleted, but truly tragically: My bookmarks are all gone. GONE. g-o-n-e gone.

I feel lost and adrift without my bookmarks! How will my bills be paid? How will I spy on my co-worker's fertility chart? My links to the most uber vacation spots are gone, and so are all my links to baby shower ideas and baby gear I can't live without. My life will end if I don't have this gear and now I don't remember what it was!! I had a huge collection of links to great preschool curriculum ideas and now my daughter will just be stuck coloring in the Star Wars coloring book that she's afraid of. All of the books I was going to read were there, along with research for all the books I was going to write. There were links to doctors, friends' websites; even password reminders were cleverly encoded.

Just imagine for a minute if your Favorites list was lost forever...

Now go back it up.

I am so sorry! I totally would be lost without my favorites! I hope system restore or something can bring them back to you.

Seeing as someone routinely changes out memory and hard drives, I feel your pain...

...often

Yeah Troy keeps coming up with clever new operating systems for our family to use and clever new browsers that we need to try. I think ultimately all this "fighting the man" is just his way of deleting my bookmarks and driving me insane.

I'm almost to the point of getting out a paper and pen to write down the list...and that's just wrong.
