Is there a way to force iCloud to choose the bookmarks from safari on my computer?
When I turn on Safari sharing in iCloud, it merges, and messes things up.
I'm running latest Yosemite and iOS8 on all devices.
Thanks!
Disable Safari synchronizaion on all your devices. Restore the bookmarks you want. Re-enable sync on the Mac, then on the other devices.

Thanks Linc. I just tried it. Turned of Safari sync on all devices, but when I turn on Safari sync on my computer to start things off, it's still getting the old data from somewhere. Maybe it's storing it in the cloud and I need to delete that data somehow? I definitely turned off sync on all possible devices.
Thanks for helping! I really appreciate it.
With syncing still enabled, delete all bookmarks. That should cause them to be deleted from iCloud. Then restore.
Almost there! I got my computer to keep the correct bookmarks, but now I can't get my iOS devices to get the bookmarks back. They're still showing the blank, deleted bookmarks from the cloud. Maybe it takes awhile for all the bookmarks to upload to iCloud? I've been fiddling with things, restarting computer, iphone, toggling safari iCloud sharing on and off with computer etc.
Disable and then re-enable syncing on the iOS devices.
Everything is working! I disabled then re-enabled on my iPhone in both the iCloud Safari and also the Safari toggle inside the iCloud Drive section. That did the trick!
Thank you so much for all of your generous help!
After restoring bookmarks from Time Machine, iCloud keeps changing them back.
