Computer Woes again

Forgive me for not posting sooner. The new hard drive that was installed after Thanksgiving has just died again...and without warning.

I thought it would be like last time...just a pain as I have been backing up on a regular basis. In fact, a back up was in progress when the drive failed. But guess what?...no backup! This means most everything I've been doing since January is gone. Articles, the book, websites I was working on, and all contact data - including email.

If you have been trying to get ahold of me, please be patient and try again!

Many thanks!

Barbara

In addition to ones financial status, this report looks at the education levels, health status, and our location in the US among other factors for those 65 and older.

It's worth taking a peak at the article.
