I was talking to a buddy of mine the other day and it sort of got me to thinking. I wasnt so much as talking as I was listening. For some reason, people tell me stuff...the sort of stuff that you wouldnt exactly expect to be told. Personal problems and what not.

It started when I joined the army and was in basic and was getting to know my roommates. Also, my job in the army included talking to people and getting info (sometimes not voluntarily, haha). While deployed, I had a couple of buddies that would talk to me and ask stuff like "what do you think of that?" or "What would you do if....?"

Now that Im in college again, it keeps happening but from classmates that are a bit younger than me. I dont mind it at all but it got me to thinking and wondering why people talked to me about stuff like that as much and if it happened to everyone else.

Well, when I asked my buddy why, he said it was because I listened and gave good advice whether or not it was what the person wanted to hear.

Now that I got a bit of background out of the way, I thought try something and see how it turned out.

Now, to that affect:

The Doctor is in! If you need advice or want to ask an opinion, Im here to help. Here's the way it will work (if everyone actually doesnt think Im now a retard and asks a question

) --

If you have a question, a problem, want an opinion, or want some impartial and honest advice then simply send my a PM with your question or problem. What I will do is remove your name and copy just the question into the thread here followed by my response. There are a couple of reasons for this:

1 - Ive found that a lot of people that have questions never ask them. Many times when someone asks something, it answers the question for other people that hear the answer.

2 - Its entertaining and sometimes funny but mostly helpful to other people who read the questions and then the answers. Like I mentioned earlier, it just might answer a question they also have.

The only way you will be identified is if you identify yourself in the thread here as the person who asked the question.

Now, I dont expect a ton of questions so I should be able to get to them all (if there are any at all). For some reason that there are a lot of questions, then Ill pick a few and answer them each day.

Now, who needs help first?
