Thank you - BINGO. Unfortunately, Apple's bewildering labyrinth of ****** passwords (expletive deleted) to supposedly protect my security my myself would not allow connection, but I'll keep on trying or more likely create a new book mark.

But, thank you again.

The forum set a 3 day followup and in slightly less, magically appeared and sent me a note to the effect of 'go ahead.' I logged in and went to "Restore lost bookmarks," and right there was a scrolling list of all the many bookmarks that had been deleted, be it accidentally or otherwise.

I found the Apple security requirements a little excessive perhaps, and was rather peeved in my comments for which I wish to apologize. To you Bailier, and to others who assisted, thank you thank you for your contribution and solutions.

All I wanted was to recover partial lost bookmarks. It didn’t , then did, then... recognize my I’d now have to wait 3 days! If I had known it would so much trouble. ... have been at this all day. Then it tells me someone in Santa Clara 70 miles is trying to access: I’m in concord but **** yes someone was trying - ME!
