How has Yahoo answers changed your life? I'll tell you mine u tell me yours?

Yes, I'll tell you, I am a Yahoo addict! I used to have a life. I would only log on now and then. It took me 6 months to accumulate 10,000 points and reach Level 6 even though I get a fair number of "best answer" awards because I try to be thorough, informative and at least semi-interesting.

Then, March 17th, I reached Level 6 and became obsessed with seeing just how fast I could reach Level 7. Now my dog is ready to divorce me; my family and friends are planning an intervention; and I'm here wondering what I can do to score a few more "best answer" awards. Sad, isn't it? Because I already made it to Level 7! But I got addicted trying to get off Level 6 and now I’m hooked.

I hate to say this and hope it doesn't offend anyone but I'm beginning to feel like an "answers wh*re." <sigh> If I log in (which I do several times a day) and don't have at least three (3) notices of "best answer" in my inbox, then I'm bummed.

I find myself logging in before breakfast, as I wait for the coffee to brew. I log in from work during coffee break. I log in during my lunch hour if I can. I log in as soon as I get home from work just to see if anyone has given me a “best answer” award.

I had promised myself that I wouldn't do this after I reach my coveted goal: 25,000 points and Level 7! However, I’ve reached and surpassed that goal yet find myself logging in here and there to earn “just a few more points.” I gotta look into finding the Answers Rehab and checking myself in!

Some people have a monkey on their back but I have a Yamster and he's a tenacious little rodent!

I think it is a great place too! I actually get on here everyday and answer alot of questions, I also like to ask as well.

There is really only one thing that I dont like here is when people ask obcene questions, which makes me sick. I dont hesitate to turn them in. Have A Great Day! :)

Y/A has given me great insight into human behaviors, motivations, and thought processes. It has also allowed me to have fun (and sometimes relieve stress) by asking and answering poll questions. All in all, it's great to have so many minds pitching in to help a person gain greater awareness or understanding of a situation.

I agree. I really love this, probably more than I should right now. (Instead of studying for finals, I'm perusing...) It's really interesting to be able to learn new things and help other people by answering their questions.

Well gina, i found out that nobody in the whole of the uk or the us knows how to get rid of a small black square in front of your mouse that wasn`t there before you messed about with your pc coz you had a problem......

So either I`M quite unique, in being able to put it there in the first place - or my pc is.....................
