Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

What are you here for, besides the points?

I'm mostly here to help out people, answering their questions. The points are a nice bonus, too! :-)

    I love playing Dear Abby. I've got a lot going in this here head of mine and it makes a lot more sense to me to share it rather than watch something mind numbing on T.V. and feel like I've just lost a point in my IQ. When you have to say,

    "Why am I watching this?" to some program your not even interested in, why not turn on the ole' computer t.v. and see what on in the way of.........Answer my questions! It's on 24/7 yha can't miss an episode. Though you can miss a chance to Answer due to a Resolved Question! Though even then that doesn't stop me if I really have something to say on the matter and I didn't think the others answers were all that great, I'll click on the person and type in my 2cents worth. It's not about the points then.

    Though like your answer, I hear yha! Having a daily "You've been choosen as Best Answer. Now collect your 10 points and do the Funky Chicken! (or is that the Hokey Pokey?) Whatever it is, it's kinda rewarding to see that! I get more praise from you all out there, then I do at home sometimes1 LOL I have a lot of fun with this and have actually learned some too, which is always the bestest bonus.

    Never let your mind go idle!!

    (I have a hard enough time when my hands are idle!)

    Thank god I love to type--helps a lot with this hobby!

    Have a great day! If yha click on my name, you can see I asked a simular question. It's closed now...but it's still funny we think alike!

    Take care

    I'm here because I enjoy reading peoples different opinions, emotions, how they deal with good and bad situations, help those that I can, and take help from those when I need, and if I can't help someone, I at least try to cheer them up or give them moral support, especially when their questions or answers get violently attacked! I feel a "connection" with people when I'm on yahoo answers and have had some really nice conversations with people from all over the world from this site, because of answers I gave or opinions I stated. So all in all, this is a great site!

    I'm just here to see what other people are thinking. We all are basically the same if you read for a while. If you think your problem is unique, just read some posts and pow. Someone in Texas is going through the same thing. It seems like it's easier to ask strangers on line than it is to ask family or friends. Good luck on your Yahoo travels and that was a good question.

    I'm here for asking, answering, and discovering. :) I've learned some great info on Yahoo! Answers. I've also made a few good friends on here unexpectedly.

  • How do you think about the answers? You can sign in to vote the answer.
  • I'm here to help people, and I also learn a thing or two from this site. It's also a great way to waste time! :0)

  • To answer questions and pass any knowledge of mine on to others and get the same respect in return. Plus it is addicting!

    The fun, to give help, to earn some knowledge and to learn how different some people are from me!

    I have fun answering questions and looking up answers to interesting questions if I don't already know them.

    Its comic relief most of the time, I love random thoughts!

    I do get alot of good answers to real questions and they are helpful.
