For those of you who are not willing to switch to Firefox, I understand how you’ve been brainwashed. But thank heaven, the microsoft man has decided finally to release IE7, also known as Firefox 1.0.5. Windows users, click on your microsoft/windows update and let the good times roll. Now you’ll finally be able to see the flash slide shows on this blog….. even though that’s b/c I changed how they were embedded… but the avatars won’t have white squares around them. 🙂
We are not going out of town for Thanksgiving. We are staying at our own new house for the holiday (which house will hopefully be ours tomorrow)! We are sad not to visit the McC side of the family during the holidays, and the other relatives that will be there…. But we plan on getting together with people around here during that time, especially anyone who is visiting from out-of-town (we won’t mention any names, but we know of someone who will be here whose name starts with “Steph”)! So let us know if you want to get together, anyone!
Hey all you computer people out there. I need some help. I just got Battlefield 2 again after a break, and was making sure eveything was setup correctly by playing a round, when BAM! Long freeze frame, then green squares everywhere. When I exited BF2 I found a VPU recovery screen from ATI. What the heck is the deal!? I downloaded the most recent ATI drivers (6.9) and patched BF2 to 1.4 and tried again today, still no luck. I have an ATI X800 XL PCI. I am running Daemon tools to mount disc 1 for loading, but that shouldn’t matter??? Any ideas?

Well, I’m back, not that anyone missed me. Joy didn’t even write how sad and lonely and depressed she was on the blog… b/c she wasn’t. I went to CA yesterday to pick up a large gift from Momma and Pappa T. Jason McG, and Dustin came with me. We had a grand time, Dustin even won the game of 500 on the beach, even though I had a billion and a half points. We are home safe now so no worries, and we have a minivan! Holy smokes, I’ve never seen Joy so excited! She can’t wait to drive it around. Well, I”m going to bed now b/c my codrivers told me this morning they weren’t going to drive, and I thought they were kidding……
I took the liberty of every thursday (or wendsday night depending on time) to write a post discussing the nights LOST episode, what we learned, what are questions, overview, etc. Everyone can feel free to contribute.
I’ll begin with the season finale.
Now in the first episode of the new season, we found out one. The show hardly told us anything, except that they really wanted to advertise stuff. Yet it did raise more questions
Things that were actually found out
1. Henrys name is really Ben
2. Jacks divorced.. and obsessed. And its REALLY funny when he tackles his dad.
3. Theyre doing something to kate during the next two weeks that are gonna suck
4. Sawyers not getting out anytime soon (like the first guy who tried to escape)
5. Theres some kind of neighberhood with ovens and electricity etr some where on this larger than life island.
6. Sawyer isnt as smart as bears. (however he is funnier.)
Now for last nights episode. We learned.
More will hopefully be revealed as the season continues. Next week there will be another article on that LOST, look for Ty’s weekly editorial on Lost, every thursday at 3:45 e. 2:45 c.
There’s good news and bad news to this announcement. The good news is that Chase now has 3 teeth! The bad news is that he still hasn’t taken to the cereal very well yet, which means that his primary food source is you-know-who, which means PAIN for you-know-who….
Hearing the announcement a while ago that the LDS church bought a huge chunk of downtown, I wondered what they would do with it. A few days ago, they released the details. I found them to be amazing.
Quote: “A premier retail, office and residential development will rise on nearly 20 acres across three blocks in the heart of Salt Lake City over the next five years, making the city one of few in the nation with a vibrant, mixed development of this scale at its core.
Demolition of part of the site will begin early next month, starting in the northwest portion of the redevelopment area. A progressive wave of demolition will move roughly west to east, followed by excavation and site preparation that will take about a year.
As outlined by Bishop Burton, the project will include:
* Up to three national department stores to anchor a retail component that will include a complement of nationally recognized in-line retail tenants.
* New, refurbished and renamed office towers.
* New residential buildings.
* A full-service grocery store to serve a growing downtown population.
* The reopening or extension of historic downtown streets as pedestrian walkways through two of the blocks — Richards Street, Regent Street and Social Hall Avenue.
* Fountains and man-made streams to represent the historic South Fork of City Creek supplemented by approximately six acres of gardens and open space.
* Underground parking to accommodate some 5,600 vehicles “

and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GINO who turns 21.
*Sorry for the mix up earlier that it was Grandma’s bday, that one letter makes a BIG diff.
I need help deciding. I found the perfect song to set as Cotton’s ringtone.
Which one is better? (They will repeat one time for cell phone ringing effect)
Let me know if you want the mp3 for your phone!
We had an exciting thing happen today. We officially got a second stroller! It looks like the one pictured, except the upholstery colors are pale yellow and cornflower blue/gray. See, we do already have a jogger stroller, but it’s rather big and bulky, so this stroller will be one that we can easily take places (supposedly it weighs 9-10 lbs.). It will be perfect for taking to the mall with Aunt Rachel! 😉 The lady we bought it from said she’s had 6 strollers at once before! We don’t need that many; two will suffice. But I am very excited about this acquistion, much more than my husband Pace is. I found this very gently used Peg-Perego product on Craig’s List for $85, but I offered $70 and got it! Yeah, baby! It normally retails for about $200 so I’m KINDA proud of this find. But anyway. I only look at Craig’s List about twice a day these days, so…. good thing I’ve bought 2 things off it to make it all worth my while!
