Heya army,
Well,the lady that hit me admitted fault,waiting on check to replace my car(was totalled by insurance company)
Edit:If I win a decent size lottery she would receive a large chunk,for being a good person.It's called accident for a reason-it was an accident!
Sometimes someone does something that temporarily restores our faith in our fellow man.

you are "blessed" with luck...

the wifey jumped a red lite ( the left lane arrow lite lit up and saw the traffic to her left proceed so she went forward also) resulting in a fenderbender with a pickup truck loaded with untaxed imports... the 3 in the bed of the truck ( which is very illegal to do, ride in the bed (( no seatbelts)) ) claimed physical injuries and were awarded 4K$ each... even tho they were standing around after the accident cutting up and having a good time on the opposite corner of the intersection showing no signs of injury... the speeds were less than 10-15 mph for each vehicle.. amazing how dishonest some people are just to make a buck... o_O

OK, here's some more Winbloze snafu. I organized my pictures folder the other day (consolidated the folders). I did a Windows backup this morning and decided to look in my backup drive after it was done and noticed it did not update the changes. It updated the Documents folder and other folders that changed since my last backup but not the Pictures folder. I for the life of me cannot figure why. I checked the backup settings and the folder is not in the "Excluded" list. So I have no idea.

Bronze, now and then I delete the whole folder from my backup drive, and then copy it back from the C drive. You could try that. I only have a free backup program, and only know how to manually back up pictures or documents etc... It can be a pain in the rear.

I looked, and it seems you are getting rain from the west and east side of the coast of Florida up to your area. The moisture from the west side is from Mexico initially, but not from the hurricane. The Gulf has had so much moisture this fall it is amazing.

That's what I did until I can figure this out...if ever. I have used several backup systems (Windows based and non-Windows based). All of them have been wiggy including the external hard drives themselves. I think I'm about done with them and will just do manual backups going forward. I simply have little trust in backup programs.

General, you might try this for document and picture back up. It is easy to configure and has three modes of operation, one of which will keep your backup disk up to date. I used it for years without any adverse results. It is less a "backup" program and more of a synchronizing program.
Check out the "Echo" setting.

TGIF! It’s sunny and in the mid 70’s here. Headed to mid-80’s. Cool at night which is great for sleeping. Me happy! :)

I have never trusted Winbloze Documents, Pictures, etc. folders. Since most of my files represent hours of work, I’ve always created my own separate set of folders, preferably on a second hard drive. Then I got a secondhand laptop at a bargain price. It’s not my primary work computer, so I go ahead and use the Win Documents folder. I have some valuable files in there. Then a Win update threatens to wipe it out. :facepalm:

It’s backed up and it will be moved ASAP to a different folder.

Thanks CMD. Just downloading it and giving it a look-see.

Agreed "Libraries" seemed odd to me from the start, an artificial construct without direct access, only through Windows shortcuts. It always seemed kind of (I don't really have a word) and I, like you, did not trust Libraries.
