Debileah's ramblings!

satire

Okay, so i lost everything I've ever written here on writers cafe.

Damn Charlie, it hurts to be a writer today. I can forgive you for making a mistake but damn, it sure was a big one. Hope this never happens again. I made a lot of friends here in your little city. Right now I'm wondering what to write about, so i guess i'll ramble on and call it Debileah's rambling's. Maybe it's time I switch from poetry and just write my damn life story. Who knows, maybe somebody will read and review it huh? Guess I'll stick around and see what happens. Actually, I lost my son due to a drunk driver back in April and I wrote my heart and soul out here and I can't bring back my writings any more than I can bring back my son. So I have nothing better to do with my time and effort than to stick around and keep writing here at the cafe. And yes i am pissed off to the max!

back up, back up and back up is all I can say. I guess I am a bit anal about this, but I back up in so many places it is hard to remember where all my backups are. Myheart goes out to you. Maybe I'll start a back up system for all the works I review or read??? Hmmmmmmmm

I think it's the shock - still reeling from the loss here myself. If he would have made this mistake at any other time - all my writing would be safe on my computer. But , no, he has to make it shortly after my comp crashes so that more than half of it is gone for good. I can't even think about writing anything - and it certainly wouldn't be this gracious if I did. I read your pieces after you lost your son - they were a piece of you - and somehow I don't think Charlie truly realizes what he's done. His apology says "everything else is safe". That's like ripping out your heart and saying "oh, but it's ok, I saved your wisdom tooth". I don't know if I'm staying - I want to, but I don't know if I can - ramble on, and if you're nuts, it's a temporary insanity brought on by the bungling of this site.

No you're not nuts...you're just in shock like the rest of us. I'm so sorry you lost your work. Actually more than that....I devastated that this happened.

Venting about this is a good idea and I think also a healthy one...so no, you are definitely not nuts.
