Why are you here?

Open-ended question. You pick where "here" is. For example, I am here because I sincerely believe that my opinion means nothing to those around me. I am HERE because I can voice an opinion. Whether others agree or not is interesting, and I appreciate the vote-ups, but I mostly am happy that I can say what I think and feel. It's also interesting to read the questions and answers, offer help when I think I can.

So, why are you here (wherever that may be for you today)?

Best answer!

I love many of our writers here and i enjoy answering their questions and comments to thought provoking questions. I like to write answers that may not even address the question accurately but humorously…although our moderator, Colleen, will on occasion remove my baseless bit of quackery to keep the thread on track ….and she lets me play sometimes too. Its fun, and funny and sad sometimes too. We do get a wide range of questions that you can choose to answer or not…that’s up to you. Finding answers is needed if you are not an expert in the field. Then I read over the found answer and select the web address, copy and paste it into my answer as the source of what I have to say about it. So the work of finding an answer also brings up your computer and search skills which I would like to develop more in myself.

If I have to search, I don't answer. I do enough searching for my own questions. I suggest Google sometimes if I don't know. Other times I just pass the question.

This is a great sight to share your input and have people appreciate(sometimes;)) what you have to say. The many caring people on here are at times overwhelming when you find yourself lost in something that seems so hopeless. Everyone rallies around you and I am sure I have felt their love in my darkest times. I feel lucky to have found this sight. It can be really funny and other times very touching as well. Glad to see your enjoying this as much as the rest of us.
