Search Tips
Tim says: here are some great SEARCH tips, submitted by Joni. Since I
really feel uncomfortable copying and pasting potentially copyrighted
website-based information, I am instead including the URS links for
these time saving tips, so YOU can copy and paste them or perhaps print
them for future reference.
Trust me when I say learning some of these advanced techniques will
VASTLY help you in future searches. At least take the time to browse the
website-based tips. You won't be disappointed.
Some Google tips here, and more information in the comments after the 12
tips:

One comment references a Google cheat sheet at:
http://www.google.com/help/cheatsheet.html
One cool tip is for finding out the weather for a specific city/zip
code. For example, "weather 37205" will show the current weather in
Nashville.

{{{ TODAY'S GRIPE }}}
My gripe: people who take up the whole aisle in the grocery chatting
with friends! I socialize too but not in the aisle of a busy
grocery/discount store. I usually have things to do after my trip to the
grocery, most times after a long day at work. After two or three times
politely saying Excuse Me! I've started offering a quarter for them to
go to the snack bar for a coffee/soda and a place to chat. Yes I know
you can't buy anything for 25 cents anymore. I don't have a problem with
a quick hello, how are you but to stand for 15 minutes with your
children playing on the floor, picking-up this/that, come on let the
shoppers shop! Thanks for a place to vent!

TODAY’S GROAN:
Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were
swimming around in the sea. One called Justin and the other called
Christian. The prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by
sharks that inhabited the area. Finally one day Justin said to
Christian, "I'm fed up with being a prawn; I wish I was a shark, and
then I wouldn't have any worries about being eaten."
A large mysterious cod appeared and said, "Your wish is granted!"
Lo and behold, Justin turned into a shark. Horrified, Christian
immediately swam away, afraid of being eaten by his old mate. Time
passed and Justin found life as a shark boring and lonely. All his old
mates simply swam away whenever he came close to them. Justin didn't
realize that his new menacing appearance was the cause of his sad
plight.
While swimming alone one day he saw the mysterious cod again and he
thought perhaps the mysterious fish could change him back into a prawn.
He approached the cod and begged to be changed back, and, lo and behold,
he found himself turned back into a prawn. With tears of joy in his tiny
little eyes Justin swam back to his friends and bought them all a
cocktail.
Looking around the gathering at the reef he realized he couldn't see his
old pal. "Where's Christian?" he asked.
"He's at home," came the reply. "He' still distraught that his best
friend changed sides to the enemy and became a shark!"
Eager to put things right again and end the mutual pain and torture, he
set off to Christian's abode. As he opened the coral gate, memories came
flooding back. He banged on the door and shouted, "It's ME, Justin, your
old friend, come out and see me again."
Christian replied, "No way man -- you'll eat me! You're now a shark,
the enemy, and I'll not be tricked into being your dinner!"
Justin cried out, "No, I'm not a shark. That was the OLD me. I've
changed. "I found Cod and now I'm a Prawn again, Christian!"
