    How did YOU find this site?
    I found this site while researching how to get rid of flying squirrels in my attic, and love the concept and interaction of it. I was just wodering how each of you found it. Was it lost love? A strange rash? A bug in your garden to identify? A legal question? Please share openly how you got invloved with this site please. It should be interesting to see what it was that brought each of us here. Thanks.

    I found it because we were having issues with my husband's dog after moving twice. It was hard on him.

    I was surfing the internet, looking for a movie but I couldn't remember the title. Out of desperation, I typed a vague description of the movie into Google, and Google found a matching description -in the form of a question- on here. The question was old, but had been answered. The answer was sitting right there for me. Satisfied and amazed, I continued to explore this site, to see if I could perhaps help someone. Next thing I know, I answered one question, then another, and another. After that, I was hooked.

    A relationship question... still can't believe I was in that pickle!

    Glad to be out of it and much improved! :)

    Glad you are out of it too HC.

    I came on asking a very embarrassing question in the Women's Health section.
    I had exhausted every Google site until I found this one...

    I came on, had my question answered, found the dog section and never left!

    Unlike so many people on the relationship board.
    "How do I get him back"
    "How do I forgive him for..."

    Move on people, you deserve better!

    Oh yes... I've been in every relationship situation in the book and can say with honesty... GET OUT! You're worth SO much better!

    I was moving out of a rental and asked about carpeting. Excon answered my question right away. I didn't like what he said, but it was the truth.

    Asking where I was going wrong with my maths, then went away for a while, came back one day because it was still in my favourites and found myself answering some questions.

    Much love, Bear, much love. You are right it was I who stalked you, but either way, this is a FABULOUS site.

    Probably because we are both here.

    Hehe cut and paste from my introduction :D

    I came here mainly because I googled something (I don't even remember what I was looking for) and it dropped me here then I got to looking around and saw SO many questions that I could answer and help on. Then I got addicted. Its now 3am and I'm still browsing through questions and answering any that I knew the answer to!

    I am bi-polar and for those who don't know, its when I swing from being extreamly happy, sometimes euphoric, to deathly depressed. And I was pretty sad tonight when I first came here. But being able to help others going through the same things I am going through, and help other parents who are struggling with their children, or to help other couples with their marriages, and so on and so fourth, has really helped me feel needed and apreciated! I am looking forward to being here a long time. And I hope to become an expert in the mental health board

    That sure is a lot of posts in 2 months , good work Jenni.

    I came here to find a hunky Australian man to call my own. :)

    Actually, I came here asking about wills.

    Sadly, the situation that brought me here still hasn't been resolved. It's sticky.

    Aww you guys make me blush.

    I'm trying hard to learn the site and stick to the rules, sometimes I get out of hand, but that's why I'm glad I have you guys around, to point me in the right direction. I try not to make the same mistakes twice.

    Thanks for the support *hugs*

    And yes. I'm definitely addicted. It really does help the depression swings I get, because I truly feel amazing when I am able to help someone get the answers they are looking for. With a 5 year old who feels that she knows everythign and mommy knows nothing, and a husband with a bit of a mental disability who like to believe he is the 'all knowing god of the world' its nice to know that SOMEONE apreciates my advise :P

    I had googled a search for some legal information. I was working part-time at a convenience store and was curious about customers who would buy a snack or soda, consume it in the store then hand me the empty container to scan, after which I would take their money and give the their change in the usual manner. I was curious to know whether such an act constituted shoplifting, since they were consuming merchandise before paying for it. It never became an issue practically but I was curious nevertheless.

    Yes, letting me know I was doing everything possible.
    I eventually changed his food, it's been a couple months, but he still scratches. I think he just has allergies to outside things. It's worse when it's windy or hot.

    I had an eletrical question - trying to figure out the relationship between watts and volts. I got a few great answers, although I still don't understand the concept. :o

    After that I looked around at what the site actually was, and got hooked right away.

    I was totally frustrated by a relationship question and literally I was asking my computer to 'answer the question' and AMHD came up,liz answered and it made so much bloody sense I wondered how I had not seen the answer myself.

    And stayed.

    Have to admit though I have a few favorite posters.

    I heard about a free toaster AND T-shirt...

    But there must be a mix-up in the address cause apparently mine went to Exy's house.

    I came because I was googling marriage advice and counseling. Woo-la! Up came AMHD and I vented and got sucked right in! Love it. I agree with red, I also have some favorite posters on here to. But one will never know.

    Said it before on posts like this... came here for help with the house... HVAC and plumbing... stayed for the sex talk.

    Now... how did I find this site? Yahoo'd the topic and added help desk.

    Poof.

    Here I are.
