Google It was a Sunday and the pilot light went out on my furnace. The plumber wanted $250. To come over to light it.

I couldn't afford that so I goggled how to light pilot light on my furnace and I was directed to the Askville site (among other sites) I asked my question and within the hour I had an answer. It was written in a way I could easily understand. I took my laptop down to the basement and sat it on top of my washer, followed the easy but thorough answer step by step and within seconds I had accomplished something I never thought I could.

I am sure my late husband was very amused at my doing something like this (if he were watching) and I was very grateful not to spend money I couldn't afford. Been a big fan of Askville ever since.

I found Askville by accident about two years ago. I was looking something up on the website "Ask Jeeves" and not finding the answer I wanted. Somehow, I don't remember how, I got transferred to this site and the rest is history.

I should add that I'm a big fan of Amazon.com so maybe I was connected that way. But I've been here every night since and loving it! .

Well, sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful e-mail That came in from Amazon.com bearing a Netster billowing sail. Asked, "Is breakfast the most important meal of the day or can I carry on saving my kcal for cravings later in the day? " And I said, ""You don't want to eat when you are "craving."

That's when a body overeats. So, yes, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Skip it at your peril."

I kind of ignore the DB most of the time because I'm still a tad irritated by what passes for conversation there.

1 One day last August, I was googling "Fox: cat/dog hybrid"Sounds kind of silly, but having just seen a fox that had as much curiosity about me as I did the fox, I was thinking that a fox would be an ideal pet if they could be domesticated -- because they have many attributes of BOTH cats and dogs -- and not just superficially. I mean, they have loveable attributes of both. So, I wanted to know if anyone in cyberspace had the same thought.

Sure enough, on Google, someone in cyberspace did. I was directed to a question on Askville, "Has anyone come up with a cat/dog hybrid? " and someone on the discussion board (or maybe it was an answer) answered that they were (of course) genetically incompatable but a fox comes closest to the mix.

I had to sign up to comment. Soon, I was asking dozens of questions of my own and getting good answers and responses and input from people. I've been hooked ever since.

Have you ever had the Askville Mayor bust in to your discussion board to tell you it's getting too long...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
