    I wish people would ask easy questions. Most of the questions that come along are over my head.

    Some of the questions are so specific, one has to have specific knowledge or specific referrals to help with the answer. Sometimes I will search for an answer and learn something new. Sometimes the answer requires extensive searching.  I'm looking at a question, "If it is possible to rent an air compressor in saudi arabia for percussion drilling".  That's pretty specific.  Am I curious enough to look for the answer?  Yeah, I'm going to see if I can find out...

    I think that's a trick question and besides that I totally don't understand it. : )

    I found a number of websites for renting an air compressor in Saudi Arabia, but didn't investigate to see if they were available for percussion drilling (whatever THAT is). With a starting point, the person asking the question can contact the website and get the rest of the story. :D

    I’ve posted several easy questions, where were you? Just go the the profile page and click on “Questions” and answer away….!

    I'm fishing, julie. Where did everyone go?

    That's the good thing about the internet, us volunteers can search for an answer.

    I research about ten times a day. Really. When I watch TV, the computer is right there on my lap, I push pause and find out stuff. It. A lot of times it's lyrics.

    My upper lip was numb when I woke up. Didn't think much of it so I put "numb lip" in my search engine. Oh my! Kinda scary and I would never have known without my trusty lap top. I am taking a new medicine and I know to watch out for other signs. Bless the internet.

    itsmee, Where's the pause button on the keyboard or computer ?
    Bob/PKB

    MCM, I think itsmee pauses the television.
    itsmee

    Yes ... yes ... I pause the TV. Clu and Bob/PKB are joint winners. Ummm!

    Anyhoo ... regarding my lip, I have figured out what the problem is. I will not go into anaphylaxis. I fell asleep face down on my keyboard and bit myself. My husband discovered me in the morning.
    If I had bitten my lower lip it might look sexy. A puffed up, upper lip looks just dang dumb.
    I have written this somewhere else on this site. I just wanted you all to know.

    I just answer the questions that I like, not that I can always answer them or understand them but rather that I can at least have fun answering them correctly or perhaps as it was written. Some questions seem to suggest something unintended so I look for the unintended question to answer especially if the spelling of the question is clearly recognised by others who have answered already to expose the comedy of an awkwardly spelled term, yielding an odd derivation. I hope others see the humor in that as I do.

    Oh yes, I think it gets pretty funny in here sometimes. : )

    it's not that they're  difficult , itsmee; it's that they're so poorly worded.They leave out the main ideas,. the syntax is wrong. The grammer, punctuation and spelling it so off, you can hardly understand the question. Something they put in one word.And that's supposed to be a a question ? The adminitstration should hire someone to edit the questions, so they can be phrased and spelled properly before they are printed. I think I would be a good one for the job.

    itsmee

    You do?
    clu

    mcm Don't you think itsmee meant the pause button on her TV commander? I thought you might get that as you think you know what others mean.
    Bob/PKB

    I think it is important for a person's questions and answers to be submitted by the person and not edited. The people answering and asking should be allowed to express themselves without someone editing and possibly changing the content, with the exception of deleting profanity.
    With no harm intended, mcm, take a look at your answer. I see nearly one dozen typos. Do you really want someone barging in and editing you?
    I proofread my questions and answers before posting them, and often afterwards. I'm embarrassed when a mistake gets by me and I find it days later. However, I surely do not want some nameless, faceless professor tinkering with my thoughts and words.
    Our flaws make us human. Let's embrace them.
    itsmee

    clu: You got that right. : )
    "Our flaws make us human. Let's embrace them." Bob/PKB

    After committing a flaw,
    pick yourself up.
    Dust yourself off.
    And start all over again.
