But she was okay and her 4 birds were okay (she did lose her cat) so we were so lucky. After shedding tears over the lost items, you get to decide if you really need it or not. For pictures, we are starting to scan everything to photobucket (www.photobucket.com) where you can host your pictures for free, so even if the computer goes, they are still accessible.<BR/><BR/>I tagged you for a meme - 7 random things about yourself.
