Good Advice

Boiling vinegar and salt and dropping pennies in the liquid makes them really shiny quick!

Make folders in your computer and use them. Give files descriptive names that allow you to search for them. Back up your data. It's not a question of if your hard drive will fail but when.

Tell those you love that you do. Sometimes this is hard to choke out. But do it anyway.

Make sure your kids know the difference between laundry soap and bleach - especially when you ask them to throw a load of your laundry in to be washed.

I pretty much gave up on all that when I got Google Desktop.

See - using google desktop is what allows me to find things using my descriptive file names. Putting things in folders though is what allows everyone else, that refuses to use google desktop, to find things.
