    I was doing a lot of googling this morning - Dip for the Derby Party Saturday, Colleges in and around Penn State and Pitt... Uber to Stone Pony Summer Stage for a Show Friday.... oh and weather too, since we have the show and the party. But, silly me, looked up my towns weather, rather than the location of the concert or my moms house where the party is held!


    So, show me your history (lol, if g rated, hahaha!)

    I just Googled about container ships coming from China. Saw a FB post that said there weren't any container ships in the Port of Seattle ... apparently it's not completely true, however apparently shipping coming from China is down.

    And over the weekend I Googled to see if there were any independent bookstores near me (30 minutes or less) and happily found two. Can't wait to hit them up. B&N closed their store near me (5 minutes), so if I'm going to have to drive, I might as well go to an independent bookstore.

    Lol this is pretty funny to actually look at! I was scrapping glaciers at Grand Tetons and my hometown. My daughter & I went to Kindred & Co for lunch and browses their adorable bookstore on Saturday. And I've been researching making a boutonniere instead of buying for Prom this weekend! And, always looking up hockey scores! :)

    Ok, this is pretty funny! We made some mistakes on our taxes which ended up costing up major $$$, so I'm trying to figure out how to fix that. The three below that are me hunting for engineering specs on parts for work, bottom one is my church and the top one... just makes me laugh that it came right after the tax searches. Ha ha! I'm taking a trip in October for an art retreat and the flights were too expensive last time I looked, so I'm trying to remember to check every couple of weeks.

    It's so funny and so personal at the same time!

    I know my phone would be totally different - I pull up Wiki pages for movies, actors, books and stuff while at home. Wordle would be in that history too. I also keep tabs open of recipes and other things I want to return to - but that's mostly on my phone.

    I'm on a Mac and use Safari as my browser, so there is no way for me to narrow down my search history from my browser history, but I checked my work computer ...

    This is pretty funny! Most of these are because we were googling answers to a crossword puzzle on the back of a cereal box yesterday :giggle

    This is something interesting I rarely do! CAVA is a restaurant. I've recently had bloodwork that said I am low in iron. I became curious about what might be the most important event in every century when the number of coloring pages in my Zen coloring app began looking like years. Since I began using the app a year and a half ago, I've colored 1744 pictures. I only just now noticed I spelled 'sky' wrong. But Google is so smart it gave me what I was looking for. It was, again, related to that Zen coloring. One image I colored recently was of a paraglider but I couldn't remember that word, first googling sky diving and then realizing I could do a reverse image search with the image I just colored. I'm planning a hike in a couple of months in Lake Anna. I looked up a doctor. I recently hiked in Shenandoah. And most recently I wondered how many lemons I'd probably use to get ¼ cup of juice. I was making a lemon cashew cream to go on top of blueberry chia pudding on Sunday. It's soooooooooooo yummy!

    LOL ... earlier this month I was Googling for tax info regarding my "head of household" tax status hoping I could still keep it after my grandson graduated and went to work full time, but alas I couldn't ... I still have my disabled dd living with me, but b/c I don't provide over 50% of her support I can't claim her as my HOH dependent.

    My list has my split personality showing. :giggle
    The hidden search isn't something x-rated, it's my cousin's name, I was googling him to find his address.

    I guess music, movies and books are what I'm googling. And recipes, but it seems I haven't done much of that recently.

    Mine is mostly restaurants in Orlando. We're going to a convention there over Father's Day weekend and I needed to find somewhere special to take my husband that my son would actually eat at and wasn't $$$. (It's also my mom's birthday weekend but she's easy: Pizzeria Uno's)

    This week my search history was about boho jewelry, Calgary summer markets, meal planning, local restaurants and what Netflix is releasing soon.

    My searches were related to the federal election we just had yesterday, M&Ms Meat Markets (to find the location of a store that had my favourite party pack in stock that is being discontinued), Torah vs Bible (I couldn't remember which books of the Bible were part of the Torah), Windows Defender (to run a full scan on my work laptop). I also searched for addresses and phone # of my drug store, and phone # for my local bank branch.

    I just Googled "Google anti-trust suit" b/c my Dad/boss went to a mini luncheon seminar about this case, came out and complained that it focused too much on the Complaint (um, and that surprises you) ... I mentioned that anti-trust cases aren't in his wheelhouse, but he reminded me that he worked for the justice department and was similar with anti-trust cases (60+ years ago) ... I said well didn't you read the printout they emailed to you ... nope didn't have time to read 180 pages (it was 115) ... did you Google ... yes, but blah, blah, blah ... long story short I Googled and was able to print out a one page AI synopsis for him to read ... short, sweet and interesting.
