When You Lose Your Hard Drive

I don't care how much you back up, when your hard drive goes...it hurts. I lost 10 years worth of emails. It was almost like a journal. I could look back at any date on my sent folder and could tell what was going on at that time of my life.

Sometimes I would spend an hour or two just reading old sent emails. I had some to Glen, Uncle Marlow, Aunt Mary. It is just like your house burning up with all the pictures. You can't replace it. On my now worthless hardrive, I had articles for the newspaper that I had intended to publish, all of my song lyrics for songs yet unfinished. So, I am a little bummed.

Then the little turkish twerp guys came and started messing around. That makes it all the more irritating. My site was backed up on .....you guessed it. The hard drive that burned up.

But really, Fran and I talk about this a lot. I don't really think that many people read the newspaper. So maybe this format is just as good. There are so many forums to stay in touch anymore. Facebook, myspace etc. I wonder if personal websites are just a thing of the past.

I guess I will lose all of my page rank. It was a PR 3 not bad for a year and growing. I am going to post as many old articles here as I can find before they disappear from google's Cache. So if your interested in the family news just log in here from now on. Enough feeling sorry for myself, time to move on.

Little Turkish Hackers
Took down the newspaper. Little Turkish Muslims hacked it all up. So, I have to rebuild it. Thanks so much to you "Religion of Peace" people. No wonder everyone loves you so much. If you would like to come here to Florida and say hello, I would love to meet you. Fran sent some good pictures of Robert and the gang.

I am pretty tired of fighting all of the junk at the other site so I may just post here for a while.

Pictures From David Riddle

These are the pictures I got from David Riddle. Really great ones I thought. Some I had never seen before!

Here is a picture taken of the Riddle family around 1952. This picture was given to me by Sue Cronkite., who gives me all of the good stuff that I have. Sue thinks the date is right because they went to Pensacola when Uncle Charles had a Heart Attack
pictured from left to right are. Unknown, believe he may be Byron (Martha's husband) Curry, Raymond, Ruth, Bert, Dora's friend, Dora, and Ina Mae.

Thanks To Sylvia

Well, although I haven't even met her, Sylvia has solved a huge problem for me. I have been wondering how to share information with family members and friends with out jumbling up my site. Now with e blogger I can do just that.

With the RSS Feed feature I can write the blog here with the photos that I want to share. Then folks can come here. To look at pictures or read more! It costs me no band width and integrates nicely into my Joomla site at rpnewspaper.com. It is a genealogy site for Riddles Padgett's and others.

Now instead of having to log in to the newspaper and adding content they can just put it here. It's great because other people can read it besides just family members. So thank you Sylvia. Even though we have never met. You have simplified my life!
