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.

AHH! September! Welcome to September! Goodbye August and HELLO Labor Day! We all need a good laugh to start the month out! This list on this site is so funny! Quoting comedian Mitch Hedberg, may he RIP:
Best Mitch Hedberg Quotes - Giant Lists  Finally it’s great to be back in a month that has a holiday! Wow I was in a funk! Reading my August post is so depressing! Who was that girl just complaining and whining like a baby? Let’s just ignore that post and move on to more important things like finding people. Why? Cuz it is so much fun! When you search for people you can find someone you know or find people you used to know or you can find people you want to know about. It’s a win win situation either way. In my search I came across this site that has 5 different links on people finding:
Find People

I am back! I hate August because there are NO holidays! I love 4th of July because it makes the whole month great. There is nothing to look forward to in August, which means you focus on the fact that the summer is coming to a close. Boring. Horrible. So, in order to pass the time and not think about how much August sucks, I have been people searching. It's what I do to distract myself. Is that weird that I do it to blow off steam too?? I mean most people drink or something. I'm just at the computer finding people online. Lame. Wow, I am officially lame. Cool. Well as long I am here, I think I'll tell you about a link that I have found to be pretty useful.

People Search Engines

Hopefully I won't be back until I'm out of the August funk, because this is just depressing.

Hello all, welcome back to Search People. Silla finally back with people search recommendations for July. FIrst off, how was your 4th of July? Mine was (in a word) awesome!

Welcome to my first search people post. Wow, I can't believe I'm finally doing it. I will be blogging all about ways to search people, find people and people search engines. Everyone is always asking me questions about how I find people, as I background check for a living. There are so many people search engines out there it is often difficult to make sense of it all, so I thought I'd help by blogging about the best ways to people search. This is just my introduction, so check back in a week or so and I should have some people search engine reviews up and some tools to help with your people searches.
