group hugs

I nabbed this from , as it perfectly suits my mood right now: Today I propose an LJ-wide group hug. If you’ve got friends who are having a really shitty week, post this and a great big huge hug to everyone who needs or wants one.

I’m using Word 2000 on a … good grief, I’d forgotten this operating system even existed. On WinME. I have since re-opened and re-named the file, and, in fact, rebooted the computer. Am I utterly hosed, or is there some way for me to make an attempt to find my missing pages? (eta: I did check the…
