I hate it when people post just to post.....

When I got a gray screen and a folder with a question mark flashing (along with a weird clicking noise) I cried, almost puked, then went to the kids computer to google gray screen + flashing folder with question mark + clicking noise and got a heap of threads from the Apple support site saying that it is likely HD failure. I almost puked again. I hadn't backed up the wedding I shot last month.

A call to tech support confirmed Dr Google's Dx.

So my hopes are now pinned on the nice, nice peeps at the local Apple fixer-upper-shop on being able to recover the data on my HD.

And as for that thread.... I think I am on someones ignore list LMAO

yuck... hope at least the photos can be recovered (and more)

they were on my ignore list for ages due to their infuriating (sp??? :confused2:) me whenever i read her incorrect info posts, but had to un-ignore people when i became a mod ... oh well, such is life ... :biggrin:

Part of the reason I didn't put my hand up to mod... I much prefer to be the source of the problem than the fixer-upper of said problem. :biggrin:

And I am far, far too fond of my ignore list to let go of it.

The good news is it's getting fixed under warranty (bless Mr Jobs and his money grabbing Apple Care protection plan!) And apparently they guys at the shop I am taking my MacinTop to are "Creative' with the way they bill for repairs such as this, and usually get data recovery covered!

So although it is a gigantic pain in the ass (and not a 'good" type of pain) I am not going to be out any money. So that is something to be happy about.

The shitty laptop I am using till the MacinTop comes back? It's a computer. Better than nothing, right?

Chickie, of COURSE we want you here! Thank goodness you were posting on that OTHER thread, because I don't think those poor newbies had a chance with the OP over there... What nonsense.

I hope you get ALL your data off your old hard drive. I used to work on and fix pc's, and despised my job. I have NO patience for that kind of thing. Wait, I don't have any patience for ANYTHING! LOL!

I don't just know everything, I am self righteous, obnoxious and condescending too!

I still get a laugh out of that. Makes me chuckle a little every. single. time without fail.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
