What I am offering you is an opportunity to talk to someone else about what's up in your life. I'm giving the Web community a GREAT BIG pair of shoulders to cry on. And who amongst us doesn't need that from time to time?
I am not a Doctor. I am not a Psychiatrist. I am not a specialist at anything in particular.
BUT:
I am someone capable of giving out sound advice.
I am a person who's been around and has experienced a lot of things.
I am a jack of all trades (or a jerk of all trades, depends on who you ask!).
I am someone who know's a little about a lot and a lot about little.
I am someone who has a different take on things, a sometimes twisted view of the world.
I am full of useful information (or maybe just full of it!).
You are given the opportunity to send me your questions in two ways:
1) You can fill in the questions on my guestbook and then leave me your comment/question that you'd like me to answer.
OR
2) I will make available to you my E-mail address where you can send me your questions.
You never have to leave your name and I promise you that this is on the up and up.
Here is what I will be doing with the questions you send me:
I will personally answer as many of your questions as I can, by E-mail if you like. If I don't know the answer right away I'll do my best to get one for you. I have a long list of people I can turn to for answers.
PLUS:
Your question and my response may appear in my Home Page, which will be updated on a regular basis.
Updated May 19, 1999
PLUS:
In the near future I will be running a weekly advice column in a select number of newspapers and your questions may appear there as well! When this happens, a copy of that article will be reprinted on my Home page.
PLUS:
I'll be giving you an opportunity to talk back to me on the answers I give and a chance to give your own answers (if you think you are wiser than me!) to your fellow Webbies' questions. An Interactive Advice Column!
I had been in a management position for 9 years, and in that capacity I was always being approached with questions. Questions on careers. Questions on relationships. Questions on cooking. Questions and concerns, worries and problems. I always tried to do my best to answer them all truthfully and thoughtfully, and with a sense of humour when needed!
I always find myself being someone's confidant. I'm not quite sure why, but it keeps happenning! Like I said earlier, maybe its the big shoulders.
I'm also a great listener! Someone who listens more then he talks is the one who ends up knowing more!
I also come from a family that seems to have been cursed with the ability to retain a Titanic amount of information, most of which will never be of any use at all!
Since going on the net, through chat rooms and ICQ, I seem to be the one who is the magnet for troubled souls, lovelorn ones among you! I don't mind either! I quite enjoy it really. It was recommended to me that maybe I should start giving advice in a proper forum, and thus the birth of Chris' Corner Advice Page!
My coffee hyped brain is just swimming with words of wisdom, alive with information, and needs to be unloaded somewhere!
My family tree can be traced to a coven of witches from the north of England and a little of the intuitive powers have made their way into my genes.
And lastly...BECAUSE I CAN!
So what do you have to lose?
Nothing!
There's a hell of a lot of worse places you can spend your time on the net!
You never know....You might just learn something! Now how can that be bad?
To ask me a question: Go to "Sign Guestbook" and fill in the blanks or E-mail me your Query! Be sure to give me enough background information to help me format the answer as best as I can!
To view what has been discussed in the past and to see what kind of questions are being asked: Go to the link for "The Truth as I see It"
Disclaimer: This is purely for fun. The questions I receive are not a full picture of the writer's complexity and therefore my answers are just quips; nothing more. All I ask of you is to keep your comments and questions clean: NO TRASH or PROFANITY PLEASE! This is a family page. This doesn't mean you can't ask me to answer really personal questions because those are the best ones!
Keep in mind that it may take me a while to answer your questions, I expect to be very busy!
This is purely a non-profit page and all answers are strictly for fun. Another reason not to abuse me.
