You could put their name into Google to see what comes up, although it is best to be as specific as possible. Full name, hometown, occupation, college, anything you think will help you locate them. There are lots of search engines that are entirely free, so you really shouldn't have to pay money for looking. You could also try using a search engine like Pipl, which locates people by searching through lots of different public records databases. It can turn up documents like employment records, which can help you find someone. A website like Peekyou gives social networking results as well as news stories, business information, even blogs. It's important to remember that these types of services might not have the information you're looking for. While they have access to a lot of different kinds of records, it doesn't always give you the results you're looking for. Sites like LinkedIn, Twitter, or Facebook can be really helpful. On Facebook, you can track someone down through friends of friends, by high school, university, current location, or hometown. All these things can help lead you towards the right person! Facebook has groups from people from colleges, high schools, social groups, religious groups, etc. You can use these Facebook groups to reconnect with people. If you've found someone on Facebook that you think is your friend, send them a message asking if it's them and ask if you can friend them. You could even include a reminiscence or two to remind them why you were friends! There are lots of networking sites for friends, for different groups, for business people. You can use a variety of these in looking for someone, especially if you know the kinds of people and places they are more likely to be. Using a search engine like Classmates.com you can find old classmates from basically any year. With a free basic membership you can look for old school, college, or military friends. Friends Reunited is mostly for people in the U.K. with some outreach to South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Hong Kong. But it gives you access to ways to find people who you've have common school, university, military service, workplace, club, or a street address with. A social networking site like BatchMates is based in India, but has membership worldwide. You can search for friends by things like name, institute, or company and you can send them a personalized email once you've found them.

summary: Use a search engine. Try finding them on social media. Use a networking site.

If you find your mind racing before a bed or while you're trying to work on something else, take a moment to organize your thoughts. Write down the things you need to get down on a to-do list. Put any ideas down in a notebook or computer file for that purpose. Jot any questions or thoughts down on a notepad. Once you've taken a few minutes to organize your thoughts on paper or a screen, your mind will be freer to work on other tasks. Another helpful writing technique is to make writing in a journal a part of your nightly routine. Taking time to write about your thoughts and feelings can have a similar effect to telling someone about them; that is, it helps draw out some of the tension and anxiety. Don't think you have to write about anything specific--just start writing, and see what comes out. It's tempting in today's busy world to try to do more than one thing at a time. However, your brain isn't built to work like that; rather, it's built to focus on one task at a time. If you try to focus on more than one task, your work becomes sloppier and you'll feel mentally disheveled. When you have too much information coming in, it can feel overwhelming. Try to develop a system to sort through information as it comes in, only keeping the important stuff. The extraneous details just bog down your mind. One way to know what's important is to listen to what's being repeated, as usually only the important stuff gets that treatment.

summary: Write pressing thoughts down. Use a journal. Focus on one task at a time. Learn to sort information.

This can be done at home using your stove and oven. Cut meat into narrow strips with a cross section of 1cm x 1cm. Boil strips of meat on the stove for 3-5 minutes to get rid of bacteria. Remove the meat from the water and let drain until dry. Bake in an oven (on the lowest setting) for 8-12 hours. You could also use a commercial food dehydrator instead of an oven. Properly dried meat will feel sticky, hard, or leathery. Meat dehydrated this way will last 1-2 months in air-tight containers without refrigeration. Smoking also adds flavor to meats. Cure meat with salt before drying to extend shelf-life. Smoke the meat in a smoker at 145 degrees Fahrenheit for 7 hours or 155 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 hours. Do not exceed 155 degrees Fahrenheit as this will cook the meat, not dry or smoke it. Some cuts of meat will take longer. For example, a brisket may take 22 hours to smoke thoroughly. Use a meat thermometer to make sure the meat reaches a safe temperature before removing from the smoker. Poultry should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F; pork and ground meats should be 160 degrees F; steaks, roasts and chops should be 145 degrees F. Commercial smokers use gas, electricity, charcoal or wood. Add wood such as mesquite, hickory, oak or cherry to add flavor to the meat. Smoked meats can last 1-2 months in air-tight containers.
summary: Make your own jerky. Use smoke to keep meat from spoiling.
