Warning Signs Of A Computer Breakdown

The scary reality about computer crashes is that the warning signs are few—if they exist at all—and even when you know what to look for, these signs can be very difficult to detect.

For this reason, computer backup is necessary every day, because it’s near impossible to know if, or when, your hard drive is at risk of an imminent crash.

I often hear prospective clients say dismissively: “Well, I just bought this computer not too long ago—it’s practically brand new—so I don’t need to worry about backup just yet.”

The Grief And Comfort Of Organ Donation

My daughter had signed an organ donor card, but my husband and I did not know it. We learned about our daughter’s decision after she was severely injured in a car crash. Surgeons operated on her for 20 hours and could not save our daughter’s life. Finally, the supervising surgeon told us our daughter was brain dead. Did we want to proceed with organ donation?

I was already in shock. The thought of donating my daughter’s organs was another shock and I was worried sick about my 15-year-old twin grandchildren. They had just lost their mother — their best friend and protector — and we had lost our daughter. The surgeon described the organ harvesting procedure and, though I was an organ donor myself, I did not want to hear it.
