You try searching the forums and it returns nothing only to realize you're putting the keywords in the author field!

I've heared you can use an old nylon stocking...

Yeah, not enough time to look at options. That one sounds as ghastly as white bleached paper towel option, baaaaaad....

BTW, the Weekenders, even after all this time here, has never been able to do a search and end up with less than hundreds of results. I gave up.

You might not be narrowing your search. Under the "Search for Keywords:" field, there are two options:
- Search for any terms or use query as entered
- Search for all terms

The first option basically puts an "or" between the keywords you entered meaning it will match any post with any of your keywords.

The second uses an "and", and so will find posts that contain all of your keywords. I almost always use at least two keywords and use the "Search for all terms" option. That usually narrow it pretty well for me.

Or take a tea bag, very carefully cut a small hole and get rid of the tea inside, fill it back up with coffee, lay it in the coffee pot where the coffee filter normally goes. Repeat with 5 or 10 or however many tea bags of coffee you want, then you can make coffee. Might have some coffee grounds in it, though.

Hey, no sweat. Put ground coffee in bottom of mug. Fill with hot water. Add milk/cream/sugar now & stir. Let stand till coffee settles on bottom of mug (five min, tops). Drink. Just don't stir or swill around in the cup.

Tell fortune from settled grinds after you finish drinking your coffee.
