I also started getting up very early so I could see owls moving about before they tucked in for the day. Now I have lots of owl photos.

The long, slow simmer is necessary to extract the collagen for a proper bone broth, as opposed to stock. Both can be tasty, but when a well-made bone broth is chilled, it's very gelatinous, almost like Jell-o, because of the high collagen content.

It makes me sad to think about all the bones that are wasted - especially when I consider how expensive high-quality bone broth is. I let it simmer for around 12 hours to extract the collagen. Good stuff.

I'm trying to sort it all now. I have a lot of large photos, so moving everything back where I want them is a big hassle.

Thanks!

Yep. I've paused the upload. I'm going to make sure everything is backed up on a separate storage device and then remove OneDrive.

Thank you!

I do feel like Microsoft should compensate me for all the time I'm going to have to spend fixing this mess.

I'll look into it!

I'm not surprised, either. This has happened before, but I thought I had fixed it so it wouldn't happen again.

OneDrive moved a ton of files from both laptops to my desktop page and deleted by ferret wallpaper. It's so cluttered and ugly now.
