I have just spent the past hour searching for a digital file of a picture I took last year.

I have been so meticulous about organizing my computer files. But last week, while still under post-sedation from my implant surgery -(just the teeth unfortunately) – something terrible happened. I went into my office to work on some photographs I had just taken earlier that week. Yours truly was still pretty tanked up with medication (a pain pill and antibiotics), but my little old drug-free computer was not, and developed a nasty virus right as I got ‘on-line’.

So, not only was I ‘tripping’ from the medication, but in front of my poor wobbly eyes, the computer screen was doing some kind of melt-down! The screen was changing rapidly – flashing and freaking out – and then everything went still……. an image formed…. and I found myself reading the offer of many types of male enhancement drugs and gadgets!!!!!!

After a moments temptation to write down a couple of 1-800 numbers, I quickly copied my files onto an external drive so I wouldn’t lose my precious pictures (around 15,000 of them).. Today, I decided to get one of my favourite pics printed on a large poster for my living room. And, of course, the only bloody picture I wanted off the external drive out of said 15,000 photos, was missing……

I was in a state of frantic panic – like when you forget to pick up your child from daycare and drive straight home instead. Then it came to me that I had actually ‘uploaded’ it to my local grocery store’s photo website several months ago….EUREKA !!!! Who would have thought that technology would actually work to help me! So, the message today is for you all to pay close attention to where you file your electronic photographs.

The other message is that I know where you can get some interesting ‘aids’ for your sex life for $19.99…… Have a great weekend everyone!!! Jude
