The heavy velvet curtain has crashed to the floor. The floodlights illuminate only dust particles. The diva is backstage having a meltdown. They've called an ambulance. A complete blood transfusion is required.
And I, the operator of an ailing MacBook Pro, am waiting in the wings until the fat lady can sing those Laurelines arias again. See you tomorrow--- or a day very much like it.

Wait ... you mean a Mac can crash????
;-/ So so SO very sorry for your computer troubles. It is so frustrating!

I can, through my own experience, feel your exasperation. When I lost 25,000 photos last year, I finally, after 8 hours on the phone with AppleCare, was able to rebuild the library manually. However, I got back 40,000 pictures (the originals as well as anything I'd cropped or enhanced) and all of them had lost their organization.
I wish for you a good dose of serenity.

Thanks so much, buddies. We're on the road to recovery.

Hope you didn't lose anything. I guess that's a plus for paintings, the originals are never on the computer!

OH NO!!! I hope it's all solved quickly. There will be horrible withdrawal symptoms for many Laurelines addicts around the globe. Maybe we should start a support group to get us through this?
