Wondering about wild grapes

Lost all my work.

Don't you love it when a plan comes together?  Well, the opposite happened to me.  I worked for hours getting stuff off the internet and writing and pasting it into Microsoft Word.  Got everything I wanted for a great and interesting (in my opinion) post today and then my battery died without any warning.  I lost everything and I am not going to try and find all that stuff again.  Maybe tomorrow and maybe never.  So, I am sorry for not posting an interesting blog today.  Anyway, I still want you all to have a great day

    So disappointing and irritating for you. Not that this helps any but you are not alone. Many of us have "been there, done that."

      I should have been saving it every so often, but NOOOO, I didn't.

    What does "everything" mean? AND, "maybe never"? Thot i had lost everything when my old laptop was attacked, but WOW, it showed up on the new one! All but my documents.

      Anything that hasn't been saved to the hard-drive will not be saved for future viewing and editing after the computer is turned off. "Everything" means I had quite a few things off the internet that I pasted to a Word file. The computer shut down from a dead battery before I "saved" the Word files to the hard drive.

      I think gremlins are at work messing with people's computers. Yours is one of several similar stories I've heard in the past couple of days.

      I think I was the gremlin this time, but maybe the Devil made me do it (grin).

      I know better but after a long time without a blip, I got complacent.

    I hate when that happens. After it doing that to me way toooooo many times I have learned - in my old age - to Save things frequently. I really do feel your pain.

    What a bummer! I used to work in a place where the electricity could be erratic... going off for a few seconds every now and then. And I STILL didn't learn to save often enough. Oh well... now you have something to do in your spare time ;-)

      I went back yesterday and tried to find some of those internet sites with no luck. Oh well, live and learn.

    I think most of us have had that happen from time to time. I sure don't like it, but I learned the hard way to save my stuff.
