now... how did i find this site? yahoo'd the topic and added help desk.

poof.

here i are.

You know you followed Alty. ;)

I was actually trying to find a British problem page site that I'd contributed to years ago, but grown to hate for its sugary paternalistic responses, when AMHD popped up on Google (God bless Google), and I have stayed ever since.

Fortunately with posters like Exon, there are few sugary, or paternalistic for that matter, responses!

And, I got the free set of kitchen knives with my membership...

Anyway, I love all the posters, even the crazy ones - it's the variety that I enjoy.

I am not :eek:

Well maybe a little ;) I'm still waiting on my Toaster to arrive in the mail.

And I'm waiting for the kitchen knives, dammit!

I came because I was invited. I've been participating on Q&A sites for over 20 years. During the late 90s I started contributing to Askme.Com. That site grew to be one of the best on the Web. It shut down in 2001 or 2002 for reasons I won't go into. At that time I was the top rated technology expert. I'm actually wearing my AskMe.com T-shirt right now.

So I was invited by some of the new sites trying to take AskMe's place to participate. I didn't take to AMHD at first, partly because they just copied AskMe's home page.

But I have to admit the Admins and Mods ;) have done a very good job in making this one of the best places on the WEB to go for help and comradeship.

I was looking for ways the dye my hair redder ( I settled on henna) ended up joining just now!

following a woman is a pleasant way to spend one's time... hate to see you go, love to watch you walk away... preferably in heels and a skirt. Love the "swish"...

back on topic... like I said, I came here for "home repair" help and stayed in that area for a time. Then got into the relationship boards, the science boards (bio and chem degrees here), and then merged into the AS boards.

I really didn't have any prior experience with askme or other help sites before AMHD.

and now, what keeps me coming back is the community. I probably spend half my time still searching for questions to answer, and half my time wasting bandwidth connecting to the people I've met here.

this concludes my AMHD autobiography, condensed version.

You've got to love how Exy gives straightforward no crap answers.

The crazy ones make the site interesting.
As annoying as trolls are when it's a serious issue, sometimes a crazy or two (when not offering dangerous advice) can add a bit of 'zing' :)

I agree with you Scott, I never saw askme.com but I know this site has a real sense of comraderie.

I remember typing something about getting over a relationship on Google. Actually, I think it was "how to kill your ex-girlfriend and get away with it":)

Happy to say the wonderful advice steered me away from that course of action and gave me other whays in which to solve the problem.

Where's the body hidden? Did you dig deep enough? ;)

I came to ask BMI questions about my homework. *grabs sides* Actually I was confused over a 401k issue. WAS. Then again, I only joined a week ago, unless someone else is a pie addict, we're all screwed.

I like pie, I prefer chocolate.

Now I want chocolate. :(

I LOVE pie! **grabs belly**

I have dark chocolate hershey kisses in the fridge :)
No pie:(

Chey! Was that your first post? Ohh man, imagine looking for advice on a new webiste and running into a response like that:( Poor girl.

To Alty - Due to the nature of the
Circumstances and under the advice of my legal team I'm not able to comment on that matter at this time:)

I love Ritter Sport praline chocolate. I would give BMI's left arm for a sliver of that. :D

I came here 'cause I was bored and freshly single.

Funny how the two can come along at the same time...

I came here looking for advice on how to evict my dodgy niece from my mom's house. Mission accomplished! I've been sticking around ever since. :)

I love sh!t kickers.

Glad you came.

Glad you stayed.

I found this site because it was my destiny? I stayed because sexy men talk to me and funny beautiful women befriend me. And I vowed to help alty get her whip back.

Found it while trying to figure out some relationship and marriage stuff...

This question should be made into a poll...

A strange rash? A bug in your garden to identify? A legal question? Please share openly how you got involved with this site please. It should be interesting to see what it was that brought each of us here. Thanks.

:) You know when you get a "PAIN" you want to find an answer right away especially if it's on going and on a weekend. Who do you call then? :D So I googled my "PAIN" and ended up right here. Found the answer and what was so funny well not funny... the person who answered had the same "PAIN" and also shared my last name. Was that in my "stars" or what? I just felt like I was supposed to be here. So here I am "PAIN" and all. I'm going to see my doctor soon it has not gone away. THANKS ASK ME!

That's weird you have 0 posts and you had 7 a minute ago. Crazy?

Maybe the thread in which the posts were made were deleted because of a troll...

As for me, I came in here seeking an answer for a chemistry question. Left the site for a mere 4 months, came back for another question, then explored the site. Found a weird thread, about coffee and other stuff... people talked of Disney Land... met HC and firmbeliever then... Started to get 'addicted' to the site, then went to the library less often (I had a connection from the library only). Then came back here after half a year after my first post. Was going to library after school.

Now I have a connection at home, 24/24, I am here more than anytime I've been on here :D. I found myself answering questions!

Chemistry. Nice one. I wish mine had been something that was actually interesting. I say as I look at my 401k check. MUUAAHAHAHA. Thank god school starts soon. I fully expect to be able to abuse my new friends and ask them stupid questions about my classes. Like why does my teacher always wear they weird sweater? Seriously, my imaginary teacher's sweater is super ugly.

Please introduce me to your lady friends if I haven't already met them. Many of them, I'm sure I have, but I giver like that. Willing to help out new cute peeps.

As for the sexy men, ill meet them in the alley. Loser buys first round.

Whatever kp his royal sexiness himself with the word usage that can turn loins to fire within a nanosecond. You were the first sexy man I met on here, thus earning a special place in my lusty heart.

As a man trained in the sciences, I've never heard nanosecond said with such sexy desire. ;)

Whatthehellthreadisthis??

*giggle?* I mean, oops. I mean... :confused: Trained in the sciences? *gulps* You DO know I am one of those women who only date geeky men because cranial love is amazing and beautiful and more sexy than a naked virgin slipping in a tub of baby oil, right? Don't make fun of me for my fetishes. Mister I paint toenails. I mean... Jesus was this man created to be every woman's definition of perfection?!

I've been a pain in enough women's arses to get mine kicked to the curb more than once, I'm afraid.

Tho' they were always the mean ones.

As for the tub/oil/slippery thingy... I'm going to need more literatary embellishment.

Only adding to the charm, my dearest. Everyone knows complete perfection lacks character. That would be like saying God doesn't believe in laughter, or faeries aren't pretty.

As for the tub of oil, I thought that WAS a literary feat!

Mkay.

You rock the casbah.

To all others... sorry I'm here and gone. Be back later. Life calls. Keep this woman happy.

Just found this one. Ha!

I was replacing a thermostat, BallengerB1 set me straight, then looked at some bug threads and found my help was needed.

Now I can't get away. I check the threads I mod three or four times a day.
