If you don't go when you want to go, when you do go, you'll find you've gone.
-- Anthony Hopkins as Burt Munro in The World's Fastest Indian
Which is really great wisdom regarding overcoming fear in the pursuit of dreams or desires before it's too late but what about when you don't want to go and you go anyway because, well, you have to, you have no other choice. Such is my current state.
I don't care what anyone says, Mercury has got to be in retrograde right now because all kinds of things are breaking down and disintegrating around me. My home laptop being numero uno.
It was with tremendous sadness that I made the official decision ten minutes ago to begin the long process of reinstalling my entire operating system. I am losing, basically, everything. It will take days, due to time constraints and availability, for me to be back on board. What this means is I will be sparse around these here parts again. I can check mail and stuff from work but when the hell do I have spare moments, ya know?
Okay, just wanted to do a quick dash off of something so as not to disappear without a trace.
It's a fucking sign, I tell ya, a fucking sign.
We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us. --EM Forster

Well....crap. hard to be metaphysically balanced when your technology goes to crap, isn't it?
That sucks big time.
I hope something extra, extra nice happens with you today.
well, damn. thanks for the heads up...peace to you. btw, my verification word is "godzy". hmmm.
Thanks for your support, y'all. (smiling)
flutter,
It does seem to require and respond to an extra dollop of whipped cream on the afternoon java.
hele,
Thank you, you. I second that hope. It's closing in on 6pm on the east coast of the US so there's still time before this day is through.
twy,
That's because you are "Godzy", honey. I've been tryin' to tell you this for years. (smile)
Of course, that could be a cross between "god" and "crazy" so (shrugging shoulders) dunno. (more smiles)

I'm pretty sure those sage philosophers weren't any more poetic than we are, when they were up to their asses in the shite of life.
For example:
"Son of a bitch!" - Plato
"What the Fu?" - Buddha
My deepest condolences on the passing of your 'puter.
Oh, I'm so sorry! What a pain in the ass! I thought at first, in reading your title, that you were reading my mind again. Or that you read my post today.
You mean that something exists that can’t be repaired with duct tape or super glue?
All of those nice platitudes about overcoming fear—like what’s-her-name’s “Feel the fear and do it anyway”—sound good until tested. Of course, if someone is irrational, they can be damned hazardous; like the time I was overlooking a deep gorge in the Rocky Mountains and some message like “Don’t be afraid, just jump over it” came to my mind. Thankfully, my fear won the argument.
Was gonna say somethin spiritual like "sometimes its good to take time away from all this technology and just be.."
But who am i kidding...
Sending you a hug my sister and love enough to wake your computer from the dead... Lazarus style..
Laughter is always needed (Whether planned or unplanned),

If you have your original OS disk that came with your system a reinstallation should take no longer than a couple hours. You should lose nothing at all in the way of files. Once installed all your registry files will be reset and in order more or less:-)
Once finished reinstalling do a microsoft update as you will need all the fixes and goodies Bill Gates has come up with since you bought the computer.
"One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man."
~Elbert Hubbard
Good luck, you extraordinary you:-)
How frustrating. When you figure out what life is saying to you, please share.
ouch. that's not fun. actually, i keep very little anymore on my laptops since i carry most of my files with me instead on a thumb drive.
hate reinstalling most than any other thing around tho i seem to be doing that on regular basis around here.
good luck.
Again, thanks to everyone. I'd respond individually but after days and nights with tech support, multiple system failures and the end not quite in sight(corrupted hard drive still a very real possibility), I'm toast.
I apologize I can't offer more right now. Working on recharging my own battery, ya know...

My computers and I have been toasted several times. It took some time and a lot of scraping off the burned parts, but we all survived and/or were renewed. I hope the same to be true of your ‘puter and you.
