  • Small Review
Congrats to the winners and a HUGE thanks to everyone for participating!

Time to get on with my blogging!
There's so much more to the story of my computer crash and what we've lost, particularily all of our business files for my husbands 2 businesses (Payroll, invoices, estimates, job costing, employee and customer information, etc...) everything dating back to 2005-I haven't had this computer this long but Quickbooks lost our files after we've spent over $1200.00 for them to upload them to their server daily---SIGH!

Yes, sobs were abundent this week as was high stress and frustration levels. Luckily, my accountant has all of our payroll information, at least from 2008, and that has helped tremendously!

So, what does the FAERY do? She moves on!

Time to get all my reviews posted and get on with what makes me happy-BLOGGING about the fantastic books I read and reading about the fantastic reviews my fellow blogger buddies post!

Hugs to all!

    Hugs!

  4. Heather (Buried in Books) You have no idea what I've been through this last month (actually, LOL, you do) but the last week has been especially trying.
    First, McAffee wouldn't install because windows protection was getting in the way. That was a 3 HOUR call with tech support!
    THEN
    QB's, which I thought would be an easy download of our SAVED files turned out to be a FREAKIN' NIGHTMARE from HADES! From Monday to Wednesday I spent a grand total of 12.5 hours with them on the phone. At one point, after about 4 hours, I just started sobbing and the Non-Support tech had the nads to tell me "Don't cry, it's not a big deal" YES, HE REALLY SAID THAT!!! Of course I responded back appropriately. If his company felt that losing all of our entire business files to the tune of $1200.00 was no big deal then it was no wonder that our files got 'lost'.

    I am still hopeful that they will get found. Our neighbor is a lawyer and he called them yesterday and he feels that he got them looking a little harder, if they don't find they he feels confident I'll be refunded. Either way I'm better off than I was before.

    You will be seeing many reviews from me! I read so many books and I've got reviews done. I've been focusing on getting my computer back together! Now it's time to blog!

    Small Review: Glad I made your week! That makes me happy! A virtual hug is great, thank you! :o]

    Deea: So true! And yes, get an external HD and start backing up your computer---immediately!
    Your Welcome!

    To the winners: You'll be getting your email from me shortly and you can
