I recently, (within the last few months) found the TFP by complete accident. My son had lost the title to his out of state truck, and wanted to sell it, so, I googled "lost car title", and one of the first results was this site. I read the information on that subject, and started looking around at the other topics on the site. This all happened around 9:30 in the morning. Needless to say, 4 PM came, and I was still on TFP. Where does the time go? lol
Ever since that fateful day, it seems, no matter what the dilemma is for the week, I run to the TFP for advice.
I'm not that well learned, as far as book knowledge, or I should say "formal education", having quit school at the tender age of 14. However I have no qualms engaging in conversation with almost any crowd I come in contact with. Even though I usually keep my ears open and my mouth shut, there are times when I do offer an opinion , and I've never been laughed out of the room so far, so?
I think what I am getting at, is the fact, of me getting the distinct impression, that the majority of people that contribute their wisdom to the topics on TFP, are in a considerably higher IQ range than myself, and are so much better at articulating. Therefore, when I have a question, or even a topic I would like discussed, I can't help but think to myself, "these people are going to think I am a real dummy". But, so far, every thread I have been the instigator of, has been answered with not only swiftness, in the response, but with answers, that tell me, I must have presented the topic in a way in which you all understood what I was saying.
I think it goes back to the same old cliche, that we all must have heard growing up, by a teacher, or someone older than ourselves, telling us , "There is no such thing as a stupid question". and I took it to heart. lol
So, I'm asking you all, to please bear with me, if at times my "stupidness" shows.
I have to tell you, that I never thought I could actually enjoy a web site as much as I do TFP, and I thank you all for your seemingly infinite wisdom.
