Silla’s Search People Blog

So even though it has nothing to do with people search, I really liked this article about how to camp.  That's definitely how I'll do it if I can get my butt off the couch long enough to do anything this summer.  Anything other than search people, of course, which is all I'm going to do this summer, I swear.

Yay!  I got emails!  One just sent me this hilarious list of secrets Lady Fatima, which you should check out.

Hi [redacted], My name is [redacted].  Since you said you wanted people to write in if they needed to find a person, I'm dropping you a line.  I would like to do a people search for [redacted].

Yay!  I'll keep you posted.

I have to say I'm disappointed. I said a while ago that I'm here to meet any and all of your people search needs. Well apparently you don't have people search needs because I haven't gotten one single email or message with a question for months. What gives? I know you need to find people. Everybody needs to find people sometimes. Just rack your brain, come up with someone you need to talk to. Then send me a message and I'll do my people search magic (the magic world is peoplsearch, BTW). But whatever if you think you don't need me to help you find someone....well, I'm not worried. You'll ask me for help eventually! Speaking of help, I was having trouble keeping my weight down since the holidays - too much mashed potatoes and gravy, haha. Anyway, it was all going badly until I found Phentremine-AE. This stuff is a miracle. I have lost five pounds in 2 months. Wow! Seriously, check it out now.

Okay, sorry about last time. I was having a seriously Larry David moment...no stop and chat for me that day! I'm ready to stop, and I'm ready to chat. I'm ready to stop and chat. Both. I'm being silly today, so you'll have to forgive me. Or, don't...I don't really care either way. I'm gonna be silly and irreverent and there ain't nothin no one can do about it. Ha! Okay, now you probably wish I'd never stopped nor chatted. I bet you wish I had just stopped caring about this blog. Fat chance! I'm here to stay, people, so get used to it. I'm even more immersed in the political season than ever. I'm pulling for Barack..he's my man. Not like that, guys! Geez. But anyway, I'm still here to help you guys find someone, so don't hesitate to send in questions or ask for advice. I can help you find a person if you're willing to accept my help. Or if you want culinary advice, head on over to Consumer Advocate and their article about the best Olive Oil for the Cultured Girl. It really opened my eyes. That's it for me. I'm heading over to Vitamin World. So long.

Yup! That's exactly what this is! Hahaha. I have no time to stop and chat. I just wanted to throw up a few people search links I found which I thought were so helpful in my searches. Please enjoy and forgive the brevity! There will be more to come, I promise. I will also explain why I am too busy right now....

I found my friend's half sister, and he was so grateful he took me out to this really fancy dinner. It just happened to be Valentine's weekend though, and everyone there seemed to be all coupled up. On the other hand, it was a really romantic atmosphere, and there was wine, and, well...
I blame person search. If I'd never gotten involved in trying to find people then I never would have agreed to help my friend and then we never would have spent so much time together, and then we wouldn't have had dinner, and I wouldn't now be wondering what the hell all of this means. We haven't seen much of each other this week because we've both been busy, but we're going up to see his sister (who lives just a few hours away) together this weekend. Which means an entire weekend together, sharing accommodations and everything. Soooo confusing!
Another confusing thing...the election this year. Between all the fraud reports and the back and forth with the candidates I have no idea who to vote for. My friend takes politics really seriously though and sent me this link on finding the right presidential candidate in 2008 which was helpful. Course, then it just made me think about him all day....yeah. I'm going to go look at articles on the candidates. I need distraction.

So, I told my friend about his mom, and we found out that he actually has a half-sister! Unfortunately we've been having a hard time tracking her down, but at least I was able to give him that much. We did find an aunt of his, and he's already talked to her. She said that his mom gave up another child--the half-sister--and that's where we got our first clue. It really is like playing detective, only with this really personal edge to it. He really really wants to find his sister. I'm really glad I can use my search people skills to help him out. Thankfully I know a lot about people search engines or else I couldn't help him at all.
On a happier note, I found this hilarious list of things heard at a new years eve party, which was a nice distraction from the project. We have a possible location now, and her first name...well, the name my friend's mom gave her. I'm going to see what I can do with that.

I fought the law...and I won! HA! They have this rule that if the officer who gave you a ticket doesn't show up for court, you automatically win the case. And guess what? That's right, Mister Can't See People Stopped All Properly didn't show--and I won my case. I was sort of looking forward to stating my case though....oh well.

So that friend I swore I wouldn't help? Well, he talked me into trying again (after a couple of beers I might add) and this time he was serious about finding his biological mom, so I was like, okay. But only because it's the holidays. Well, I'm pretty sure we found her. Unfortunately, the person we found is deceased. My friend was really broken up about that, and now I'm trying to contact people who knew her to see if that person actually was his mom. I'm actually hoping I'm wrong because that's such a sad ending if it is! And if it is, maybe I can find other relatives of his to try and make it up to him--like his aunts and uncles, maybe even a half-sibling.

Meanwhile, I found this people search site which much happier searching stories on it, and another great find people site to share with you all.

Happy New Year all! Wish me luck on finding a happier ending for my friend....

So I really wish I would have seen this earlier:  GiantLists.com - Get Out of A Ticket.  Unfortunately for me though, I didn't, and instead got a stupid-ass ticket for not stopping completely at a stop sign.  Now, don't get me wrong.  I am ALL for obeying the rules of the road in order to keep everyone safe, but the bottom line is that I WAS STOPPED COMPLETELY!  The police officer, unfortunately, asserted otherwise - and we all know who wins that argument (not me).

Arrrggggghgh!  So frustrating.  I am going to go to court to contest it though, btw.  Yes.  I will not just pay it and go quietly into the night.  Other things I will not be doing is helping my friend do a person find on his ex-girlfriend.  I mean, I'm all for quelling curiosity, but he just wants to know so he can mess with her... and nobody likes a stalker.  Just kidding.  He's not a stalker, per say... but he does need to search people other than her first - like his mom... which is how we got into this conversation to begin with.  Let me take a step back.

I was out having drinks with some buddies two weekends ago, when it came up that this one buddy of mine doesn't know his biological mother and would like to.  I, of course, then said "I know how to find people!" and invited him over for a tutorial.  Later that week we're getting all settled in for a good night of finding his biological mother, and the first thing he says when he realizes that you ACTUALLY can find people online is ask: "WAIT!  Let's find that bitch that broke up with me first!"  To which I was like, "Uh no."  It was bad. Anyway... I am rambling now because I am drinking a beer, and it always gets me talky.

I will stop rambling for now, and leave you all in peace.  I will be back though.  Mark my words!

Man, I love October.  It is the harbinger of all the holiday food I am going to get to eat simply because it is a holiday.  Let's not forget the snacks and candy and drinking too.  Oh man, I can't wait for Halloween.  My friend and I are dressing up as Frankenstein (me) and a witch (her), and we're going to the zoo to help out at a Charity trick or treat thing.  It's going to be awesome.  In other news, I haven't been doing as much person search online as usual this month, but I am still your best bet to get advice from if you are trying to find people.  Take for example those two sites I just linked you to.  They are awesome places to go to learn about people search that only people like me know about.  Other things I know about and you don't is this awesome website called PeopleSearchDigest.com.  As you can probably imagine, I read it every week.  I'd read it every day if they updated that often, but they don't.  It's a great source for inside news on the people search industry . I wish I knew who wrote it.  They must be awesome.
