Hi Sylvia.... thank you for sharing more of your life story. I enjoyed reading about it. I've never been on any kind of ski's, neither snow or water. So I'm quite impressed with anyone who has. It does look like fun to go flying across the snow when I see them do it in the Olympics etc.
About the photos, yes, I would love to be able to see the photos again. How about starting a new photo album on here with your name on it, and download the pics into your personal album. That way they should always be there I believe.
I'm not sure why pics disappear. Sometimes it's MSN, and sometimes when we move things from one folder to another, or go to the storage place and delete things there to make more storage space that can cause the red x's. I get confused about it all myself.
Hugs, Grace
