    Another quest within the forum...what sort of credentials do we all possess that qualify us to answer questions?

    I think I'm qualified to answer many queries due to a Bach of Arts, 19 years of music performance,I'm a gardener by trade,I've studied a variety of religions to thier core,I have a special-needs child, and I desperately need practice typing...C'mon people let me see those Bragging Rights!!!

    itsmee

    That's what I want to do ... Study religion. lindilou, if you know a good site on the internet, please direct me. Maybe I can still read!
    I would also like to hear you play and sing but it's kind of difficult to the confines of akaQA.
    Knowing you, as I do, I'm sure you are an excellent mom. (As I am. : ) )

    My formal education is 45 years at Knoxville School of OOps.  I majored in "have another drink" and how to "Cut Your Own Hair".     My hobbies are Astro Physics, Egyptian Hyroglyphic Reading, Rocket Science, Paint By Numbers and Animal Gynocology.  Don't laugh, someone gotta do it.


    Been married to the same  witch-a-call-it,  for a long time.    I keep her in the closet until Friday night when I blow her up.


    I only answer questions which have to do with  'tying shoes',   'which way is up',  or  'what's  that smell'.                   There's lots more but its getting late.

    It is interesting to read about you Lindilou.  I often wonder what people do and where they are from... the quilt that is akaQA. 


    I would much rather read about other people.  It's a thousand times more fun... I guess that is why you asked the question! :)

    Umb. Not everyone has had the priviledge to go to a University and it does not make them less knowledgable about life.I know people who did not even finish high school and have been very sucessful starting theire own companies. Knowlede vs, wisdom and common sense is entirely different.

    I feel a little out classed with all these diploma's and degrees, indentured tradesman in the printing industry, since 1966, spent 11 years in similar capacity with Chrysler / Mitsubishi car manufacturers, at the present time i'm a super in Print Finishing, retiring in 3 years. Because of the field i am in, i am conversed  in current affairs, maths amd english.

    What do you me outclassed you are Lord Laird bulletman! LLB!!!! You've done a lot and your answers are always on spot. Can you imagine how very weird this site would be if we were all Mensa IQs with a ton of degrees- no fun and half (or more) of the questions would be ignored........

    What I do not understand,the interesting thing about some people, a person can feel relaxed in their company.because the genuine high achievers are the people who have succeeded, they are more humble. They do not feel the need to boast.

    lindilou

    How true Dollybird,it seems we have a painfully modest group for this querie!!!

    Talking about me!! Yes very Modest Shy ( SLY ) "Who said that !!"OH my wife.

    I'm a writer and former tutor of English and I can teach maths too. Oooh, shock, horror! My husband is a maths tutor and and an IBM engineer. Any questions?

    lindilou

    No shock nor horrors dear! My eldest is a top honors student in all subjects with a love for math and sciences and a knack for logic that makes ones' mind swim.

    If it was me, I'd have to tell them, "Well, at least I came with some!" How it would be accepted, might be something else. But, I look at it as, if they can sling'em, they better be ready to catch a few in return! LOL!
    dowsa

    Very true Shootah .You see I Blush if I tell a lie. Well If you dont have Brains you cant "think? get my drift Friend.

    I’m here and I have opinions. Some seem ok. Some cannot be read and are therefore roadside trash. I am not an authority on anything…even my own life is a mystery. I am here…did I mention that already?  

    lindilou I really like this question because I like to see what life paths people have been down.  What I have discovered is that every human being has an immense amount of wisdom.  I believe people on this site have all been down different paths in life &  tapped into their wisdom and are willing to share it with others.  To  me its great if you or anyone was fortunate enough to have special training, but it really in a way does not matter because we are all so unique and special.  I am proud of my own accompishments which are many that have made me happy because they were goals I set out to accomplish.   I will name a few.  I do handwriting anaylsis and did it for a while when my department hired people at Stanford University.  I went to broadcast school and have done talk shows, have a B.A.  in experimental psychology and have worked with families and kids for over 20 years.  I have had lot of jobs which is good for me because I get bored easily on jobs.  I have a passion for justice, for all; peace in the world; happiness and growth for children & adults.  I think all people are beautiful, except for a few, just kidding.  I love life and others. I am really happy that I learned how to read and write.  Both of those areas were very difficult for me to learn as a young kid.   A big accomplishment for me, to me on a spiritual level,  is that I have gained insight and patience for people and appreciate them all, except a few.  A hobby I have is matchmaking.  That's fun for me too. That's part of my life path that brought me to the majestic akaqa community.

    lindilou

    tabber you sound to me like a real cool cat...Peace and thanks for playing!!!
    itsmee

    Tabber, We wish you were here often. : )
    You have done some interesting things!
    You did handwriting analysis at Stanford! Wow.
    I believe like you do that people on this site have tapped into a wisdom
    that I don't understand. But they are willing to share it with others.

    WE don't need credentials, just questions.

    Just a teacher, an agony aunt to people on the web. 40 years of litigation doing my mothers court cases and a good background in medicine because I did the paperwork for my father who is a Vet, my brother who is a Vet, a sister who is a Doctor, and another sister who is an accountant. Have my own qualifications which I would rather not divulge, but the main purpose of being here, is my best qualification "I like People! and I like to help People, and I am non judgmental, And I don't take sides and I don't influence people with my own opinion, I just let them think things through given the facts. I also like to make the questioners independent of panels like anywhere, so that they do not have to come back to you again and again on the same subject. That's why I am a lousy businesswoman too, cos my students are left to migrate from under the wings of a teacher tutor.  I like gardening, a renaissance type of woman. Worked with Engineers, Lawyers and Pediatricians, Doctors, and that shows I am not that young! My case rests. And I will retire tonight. Good question though!. Have a pleasant evening mulling this through! And I am an ad-libber which means I try anything once, made mistakes on marriages though so that means I have to learn too!

    lindilou

    You're beautiful!!!Thanks for humoring this newcomer!
    coolandy2000

    @lindilou, thank you, and I do believe the fundamental rights of others, therefore this comes through most often, and I am blessed with a good background therefore to do so. An unbiased opinion which is still subjective, i.e. left to the recipient to accept or reject. I also answer the foreign ones because there are no karma points associated with the answer, nobody else can understand them, therefore answered and hopefully of help to others.
    Colleen

    We've all gotten karma for answering foreign languages and we can also understand the questions asked in foreign languages. We know all about the translators on the internet. Boy you like to crow. I've seen you too many times now trying to claim you are not here for the karma. Me thinks you doth protest too much.
    Colleen

    Moderator
    You know, I just went through all your answers, all 284 of them and I found that you answered 9 foreign language questions. 9 out of 284. I answer 9 in a day if there are 9 to be had. Tell us again how you pick only the foreign language questions so you can not gain karma....
    coolandy2000

    @colleen. Let is rest until you get over the question asked. Yahoo and 2 points to answer and 10 points from the questioner. Then Yes, I will continue to answer those in a foreign language because nobody can vote me down or up, and that is not my interest here to get popular or be loved. I am here to answer the questions of the ignorant. An apt simile, if you hear of a tax dodger being jailed in samoa for tax offenses it would not bother you, but if your neighbour is waylaid by the police, you would transfer all your money to an offshore account. Its a question of "if a cap fits" and many decided to put it on. How very unfortunate!

    No credentials just a curious mind that has stumbled across some very curious friends with a curious way of stating the sometimes curiously obvious. Curious, isn't?

    lindilou

    Now I'm curiouser!!!
    Bob/PKB

    We have a lot of dead cats around here. (not really)

    I,m nothing special, work in welfare (and have for over 20 years) live a fairly insulated life in a country town, but I do like to stay in touch and reading some of the answers on this forum supply me with incite and often practical help,the people here are not vindictive nor , condescending and through my own experience I have found them only too happy to help

    lindilou

    This is an observation I've made as well and I can relate on the insulation...and on a different note lambshank...you aren't nestled in mint jelly are you? No offense but that name is making me hungry!haha!
    lambshank

    I sure was nestled in mint jelly when I named it! up to my elbows in nicely baked lamb..yum

    Some of the question asked here  are so dumb even I can answer them

    lindilou

    Good one William!! Laughing over here! Thanks!

    You sound like you are a little too religious. If we didnt answer, who did then?


    Maybe i`m wrong, it just sounded that way;-) 


     


    Lots of love


    Martin

    lindilou

    Religious????? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!! Yer funny!!!!
    lindilou

    you're answer # 31.....

    religion>>from Latin>religare>>meaning "to bind".

    I would like to claim all of the unclaimed credentials that anyone missed claiming for themselves so  that we could all claim we have a real x-spurt here who knows it all….now if that person would please login we could all get on with the show of our appreciation and praise whoever you are. Yep, Just log right in there…and thank you.


     

    itsmee

    Funny, Robert.
    When we all answer the same question we become a bright entity. : )
    Now I will look up "entity"
    lindilou

    har har har! xox

    I'm a mom, a wife, degree in early education, experience with crisis line, 25 years of successfully running a daycare and preschool, a degree in medical assisting and experience in doctors' office, newspaper columnist, book writer (didn't fly) but I wrote it, read a lot of health stuff, classes and then experience in counseling women in crisis.


    I often think of akaQA and how when we all put our heads together we are genius. We all come at problems from our perspective. All different. Most good. I've worked other sites, a psychology board, writers site, studied Lupus when I thought I had it. I don't. Fibromyalgia. Chroni Pain. Weight loss. I've moved about 50 times. (All in California) Love music

    ROMOS

    And you like to ask decent questions.
    Even when you answer them, you do it decently!
    itsmee

    Thank you, Romos. I ask 'em. You answer them. You do a good job of answering. You've helped me many times and many other people would say the same thing.
