There's been a lot of advice given on Blurtit. Have you ever blindly followed it or taken any of it with a grain of salt?

I've learned a lot on Blurtit but I never blindly follow advice. I will consider it and find out on my own before acting.

Never blindly followed.

Tiger Paws has given lots of excellent advice on several medical conditions for people  to ask their doctor. I had some symptoms an anonymous person had, got it checked and need meds.

Rooster and Ancient Hippy gave excellent advice on numerous things and both will stay with you as you shop or working on the problem  🤗. Rooster helped me purchase new  tires. Rooster and Hippy helped me purchase a laptop from Best Buy and a remote control from Amazon. Zack, Dark and a couple of others helped me compare and purchase Roku.

Rooster helped me choose the best Anti-Virus software and applications for my phone and laptop.

Yin helped with fridge hardwater issues, I was kinda freaking.

I've save a lot of Rooster's link to my home screen for further reading.

The Z had a link about Atheists, I saved and read later. 

Blue Links are good with me :)

Everyone thank you :)

I'd never follow advice given on Blurtit, after all, some of it comes from ME!

Hi Zack, you have such great questions today!

There is something strange and unexpected and wonderful that happens on Blurtit...I read everyone's ideas, and something comes together so that I understand! So even though I may end up with something different, the answers were still what got me there, just unbelievably helpful.

(Special nod to Matt Radiance here...one long answer he took a lot of time preparing, it was just superb help.)

Not blindly, though I've been helped toward a solution a number of times. Even so, I'd suggest that before anybody takes advice from me they should read my profile page. It carries a disclaimer that I have a licence to tell lies.

Where can I get one of those licenses? I've been doing it unofficially for years and it would be nice to be legal.

I got mine from a creative writing tutor at JCU. He said, "You are a writer. You have a licence to tell lies." I took it to heart and have been telling them ever since.

I never blindly follow advice online but will do some research on it before I'll follow it. Doesn't hurt to have a few opinions. Some of the people here are quite educated and I will listen to their advice and work from there.

I have never blindly followed anything.  I'm a cynic when it comes to any information, so I usually do a bit of research before I believe anything that I am told, or read when it doesn't come from a 'proper' website like Smithsonian or CSIRO or NASA.
