Quick, someone call the F.B.I, my story is gone! when jason was reprograming PawPaw’s computer, he seemed to have lost my rockhopper story in the vast black hole of cyberspace. Just great. but the good news is that i can still post the epiloge of Coal Wars on here. If Jason cant find my story, I’m going to have to make Coal Wars the first book and rewrite my other. T-T (Tear tear) Hmm, maybe the flying pink elephants stole them… I will investigat further and check in tomorrow. Coal Wars epiloge will be up on Friday.

The folks spent the weekend with Maria, and they just walked in the door. Jason found a beautiful starfish. I’ve never seen one! He’s alive. They’re going to keep him alive as long as possible. Jordan says they eat little fishes. Jason said he was just walking along the beach, and he saw something move. He reached down,and scooped up the sand, and there it was!
Yay

Since the FABULOUS Jordan posted her comment about her WONDERFUL writings… My father has suggested for me to post my books webpage up so Jordan can see it.. And the rest of you can to… I am sure she is a FAR better writer then I am.
Family History
May 3, 2008 | Uncategorized | Comments [1]
Now that Luis has figured out how to do Templeworthy, we have both been encouraged to dig in to our Family history, and do the ordinance work for our kindred dead.
I am absolutely overwhelmed. I’m just going through now, and picking up those who fell through the cracks, and those who have died in recent years, and I can now proceed with their work. I find a lot of their names in the Social Security Index.
It has been a very slow, very constant effort of 42 years. Amazingly made easier and easier as the technology got so wonderful. When we first joined the church, it was a very difficult process. I would dig and dig for information, and send it to Salt Lake City. Then I would receive it back two years later saying that the work was in progress. Very, very slow stuff. But I have the old, weathered tracking records, with Mama Mac and Daddy Mac’s names thereon, and with their parents, and with the parents before them, etc.
It took years and years. Now it’s going faster and faster and faster. Now, we can actually do the work online. Amazing, yes?!
When I am resting in peace, Bill. You are the oldest, and will probably inherit all of these weathered files. Be ready to take over the task, as you continue to dig for Polhemuses, too.
Good Heavens! I just opened an old “Tracking Record Book” and found a whole bunch of stuff I’ve gotta’ go through! Looks like it’s correspondence from cousin Mike Holland around 2000 and it it addressed to Nancy(his sister) and Elaine, and it has to do with all of the folks buried at the old Chapman Cemetery at Pleasant Ridge, Alabama, and a lot of other stuff.
Incredible Tornado Footage (Pawnee Co. Oklahoma)

Hey, Mom, remember how afraid I was of tornadoes when I was a kid? I read a book about them when I was in the second grade, and right about that time we had a tornado warning in Warner Robbins GA where we were living. It scared the bejeebers out of me and it took a few years for me to get over it.
Kids have it rough.
Changing Passwords

Jordan changed hers, and then she changed mine. Everybody should do as Uncle Bill says.
OUR BRAND NEW COMPUTER
May 1, 2008 | Uncategorized | No Comments
And whole hard drive system, and Jason spent nine hours installing it!! It’s just beautiful. He got it for $158.00 plus shipping. He has already gone to bed, or I would get him to go into detail. I thought I did submit a comment in detail, but it’s nowhere to be found.
Finally on!! =^^=

~Hi everyone, and thanks for putting me on Uncle Bill; sorry about not saying uncle on my last comment, I was just in a hurry. I’m happy I finally get to talk to all of you, but where are all of my cousins? Don’t they post too, am I only going to be talking to uncles and aunts? Get them to post something on here. I want to talk to them too! No offense.
So anyway, I think I’ll take Maria’s suggestion and start posting some parts of story’s on here. I could use the constructive criticism, even if it is just family. By the by, if any of you think I’m more or less descriptive, please tell me! I cant stand being too descriptive, and the thought of dragging ONE topic out worries me. There is one story I cant post chapter one of first, its called, A rock hopping adventure. I don’t like the title much myself, but i have to write more of the story first to make a new one fit. I’m creating all of the creatures for myself, except of dragons though.
I’m even going to make a sequel, Coal wars; Its more of a past story that tells about how the Rock hoppers came to be in the land of Kawatta Valley. At first the Rock hopper ancestors are at war with the dragons of Okibi Ridge over land. But as the heroin and her friends set out to find the Element Spirits to help them win the war beforehand, they find out that the Spirits are dragons themselves! Talk about irony, huh? Well, I can post the first chapter of A rock hopping adventure and the epilogue for Coal wars soon. I hop I get some comments on here.~
P.S. I’m still doing the ~ thing on my comments. I feel special! XD
EVERYONE: CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS!
May 1, 2008 | Meta | No Comments
I guess I should have mentioned this more firmly earlier, but I set up each account using a rather simple-to-guess password. For security purposes, I would like EVERYONE to change your passwords to something more difficult to guess.
First log out. Then log back in. At the upper-right corner of the log-in screen, you’ll see “profile”. Click that link, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. You’ll see a place to enter a new password, TWICE. Do that, then save it.
That’s it. Be sure to write down or otherwise REMEMBER your new password.
I just don’t want someone logging on as you and then posting stuff in your name. I’m sure you don’t want that either.
