You’re gonna need a few floppy disks to store your pictures on.

3.5 or 5.25?

And...Versace has a sprained tail? It's flopping to the side. Is it from me tucking his tail inside the coop when I put him to bed last night?

It definitely was standing up yesterday.

Oh no! Could he have dislocated it somehow?

Alex, that's affirmative for now. My glucose is 3 times what it should be. Once I'm in control of it I can have a couple Miller Lites on a regular basis.

Alcohol turns to a sugar so beer or light beer all the same if alcohol is involved. Lactose in milk products is also sugar. Certain fruits are high in sugar too like grapes, certain apples, ripe bananas, oranges. By my 60's I had to modify diet a lot!

He often keeps his tail down, I wonder if it's too heavy to hold perked up?

That's not possible

It does look like wry tail. Either genetic or vitamin deficiency. The vitamin deficiency can be corrected.

How do you correct it?

That was cool. Thanks

Oh, I love that part where they run ahead to trip you up! We think cats are solitary & aloof then they do the doggie thing & follow you

He likes leading the way while slowing down and checking to make sure I'm following him. Doesn't matter how many times he gets booted cause I'm carrying something and can't see my feet.

The turn around prep to start back down

My DH & his techy friend who works IT for his local school district consult w/@other on best/newest brands before investing. In fact, technology boggles my mind & if not for DH I wouldn't even have a laptop or cellphone today! I didn't even know how to use my VHS years ago! In fact, I was such a dunce I told DH (we were students in the same college class) that my VHS was broken. The rest is history. I keep relying on his tech knowledge to this day. I mean, he goes back to the days of Radio Shack TSR80 & Tandy1000 plus he's worked building computers in companies no longer around & worked Earthlink & Verizon

All floppies/CDs are loaded/copied & Carbonite backed. I'm not worried about newer photos as they are on Sandisks & as you know are compact to store in a zip folder. It's my hardcopy antique photos I duplicated that are the most worrisome to lose on computer but I have the external hardrive plus Carbonite backup to rely on. I don't trust anything electronic or computerized but I figure once I die no one left are going to care about the antiquated pics or even know who's in them

There are lots of people who would love antique pics. Especially large collections of them.

3.5 or 5.25?

I was thinking 3.5. But 5.25 works as well.

But there is something to be said about those old photos To hold them, and think of the others who have held them. Wonderful.

Ruth seemed to want her photo taken

It's very nostalgic to go thru my mom's old handheld photo albums ~ however I copied as many of her photos as were meaningful to me & gave the albums to my DD. She says half of them are meaningless to her & w/no children she has no posterity to hand them down to anyone who would care.

Surprisingly my DS wants all my photos downloaded to a disk drivestick although he may be quite bored w/all my yard/garden pics ~ but he ASKED for it! DS likes to garden also so maybe it might mean something to him altho he has no children either to pass on to posterity. The ancestral lines stop here.
