Love the google

I'm wondering if others google as much as myself. I google pretty much EVERYTHING! I've often googled my own name, family member's names, friends, and How to fix...Anything! Often I find surprising things when I do this. I recently found someone who shares my same name and was able to connect with her. I'm looking forward to finding out more about her, especially since our name is not very common. I have also found out surprising things about family members when I've googled them, but that's another story. Today I am giving props to all the people who get online and tell how they have remedied a household problem (usually involving kids, something permanent, and furniture).

Today, I walked into our entryway that has been recently updated with nice hardware floors and found blue permanent marker from the latest two-year-old all over the floor. We don't have that nice of stuff but Come On! It's brand new and we want to keep it looking nice! Anyway, long story short, I googled permanent marker and hardwood floor and found several suggestions. I tried one that I thought might work and voila! we have a marker-free floor and one happy Mom!

AND...last week I broke my camera, by putting my battery in upside down which then jammed the door shut. I was so frustrated because no matter how hard I tried to open it, it wouldn't budge. And then there was Google!!!! This remedy was hard to find though and I found a weird link talking about people who had the same problem. There were many suggestions including breaking the door open and living with a broken door or taking it in to the manufacture although it's most likely not covered and finally just buying a new camera. But there was one guy who had the solution and it worked!! All I can say is how nice it is to live in a time when everything is at our fingertips. And thank you to Google!!
