Someone asks this question several times a week. I feel terrible because I have a couple good books that I want to read. BUT, I check emails and then come in here, and that's as far as I get.......I have set time limits and that doesn't work for me. I have turned off my monitor and stayed away from the computer and that doesn't work either, because I cheat.....I am an adult, not a child.(60 years old)\n\nMy kids are worried about my addiction. They have talked about an intervention to stop me. They have talked about just coming in and removing my computer from the house.\n\nI fixed them! I changed the locks on the doors and when they call me they talk to my machine. I haven't been to work in six months. I haven't taken a shower since I can't remember when. But it is ok. I can control this. So, you see, you don't need help.

Oh my gosh, I am sicker! I have been here over 12!!! Went thru all 20 answers and was 4 points short of getting to level 2, so I stayed and voted on undecided questions to make it to 250, and now I have more answers to use. Help! I need to get off of here! Can we sue yahoo for brainwashing! lol just kidding Yahoo! I broke my ankle and I am stuck inside. Work 2 jobs normally so I am enjoying it while I can!

I agree. It could be that the opportunity to ask an otherwise embarrassing question within the private sanctum of the Internet, fields their curiosity. Perhaps when we get older we stop asking questions because we don't like the answers. I like to answer questions, that's why I sign in. I like to spell correctly, that's why I use the spell check.

neat thing about the net is that you are at a safe distance to "research".  I thing we are all people watchers.  Whether you are at the mall, Walmart, or on the net, we like to "judge".  But I agree with you, I don't judge people, more, admire.  Some folks ask great questions and then their are smart asses that should be shot for their narrow minded responses and vice verses.  I just plain enjoy interacting with people like you who have real, good thoughts.  I don't think you are judging anymore than anyone else.  Just stay true to your good nature and your heart.

Many people give answers to different subjects they have no clue about. I am wondering myself. But what can you do?\n\nWell, I only answer questions for which I am qualified to answer.

Unfortunately, too much. And I don't know what exactly I do every day. Sometimes I use the internet for research purposes, and that could be several hours. Most days I check e-mail numerous times, check the weather in different parts of the world, read news articles, check the exchange rate, apartments for an area I might move to, watch movie trailers, check airfare prices, play a game. So basically I might spend 2 hours a day on the internet. A couple weeks ago my computer was out of commission. I didn't realize how addicted I was to typing documents on my computer and checking e-mail. It drove me nuts.

I really care about how people feel in here. I know that internet sites are usually cold,anoymous places but I dont feel that way here. I dont really care about how many points I earn because I am just here to help. Its not like we actually get anything with those points although it is an added bonus that makes you feel active here. I also come because its one of the better sites with things to do.

If you have a pc and internet, you can do it yourself.\n\nIf I have time, I can try.  But what to do? I am not getting any free time now.

You are definitely not insane. Probably just bored like me. This is also incredibly addictive. It also feels like a little community of like minded individuals has formed. Maybe it's just a chance to talk about the stuff that we don't feel free to do so with others face to face. Its kind of anonymous, yet informative and entertaining. Kind of nice to know you are not alone. Don't you think?????

There is no point.\n\nI just happen to get a lot of points because I discovered Yahoo Answers and I do exactly what I do in Real Life. I help people with computer related questions that I think might be useful.

i tend to agree.. i have been a pc jockey for a bit too long myself and its occuring more and more to me lately that there actually is a world outside.  sometimes im shocked when the sun hits my face, so maybe it's time to stuff the box in the closet and take out my walking shoes.  id like to write a book too, but i find the time passing on the internet most days, then another and another.  thing is, every day is the same on the internet and there doesnt seem to be any real point to it.  hm

Actually, I don't sit around all day and answer questions - many times I review what has been answered and I try to find questions that I might want to have answered.  It really depends upon how one uses this forum - it could be quite an educational tool.\nThere are all kinds of people responding to questions and I've seen some professionals give their advice freely so there is a chance for almost every aspect here.

I don't know. I know I asked one question which may have sounded dumb to some of you who are so computer literate but I really wanted to know the answer and no one responded. Fortunately, I did find out what to do. I am sorry that your questions haven't always been answered. Maybe we don't know any good answers or the questions are too difficult. I will look for your questions next time.
