Confession: I'm a Youtube junkie!

Started watching videos for makeup, then hair, then on to storage and organization, decorating with crafts, music, etc................ It's so informative. I've learned a lot, but I spend way too much time there! Anyone like me???

Youtube junkie here, too! I'm hooked on watching live (archival) music performances of classic rock bands {#emotions_dlg.wub}

Yes. At least you are being informed and learning; I am watching goofy, mindless stuff.

Yep, I'm one! And many times I cannot believe where I end up from where I started...start out watching one video on kitties, and then somehow ten videos later I'm watching a knee replacement surgery. And no idea how I got there. {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

I guess I missed the instructions on how to use it.

Unless I'm going for a specific thing, I don't bother. How do you figure out what's on there? Is there a table of contents or something? {#emotions_dlg.confused1}

There is no table of contents; there are far too many videos for that to be practical.

You just type words into the search box; your searches can be specific or vague.

Maybe you like funny dog videos, so you type in "funny dog."

Or maybe you want to learn about BPA, so you type in "BPA."

Oftentimes, you wind up clicking on the videos recommended for you on the sidebar...so you never know what you will discover!!!

If you want to learn things that are vitally important to every person on this planet, watch "Seeds of Death" by Gary Null, and then--and this is particularly important if you are still skeptical--watch "The World According To Monsanto."

They are frightening...but the only way to stop this madness is to make oneself aware.

YES, THIS!

Kitties, it always starts with kitties. {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

Also, in addition to the other subjects mentioned, I always check out reviews of something I might purchase. Some are pathetic or annoying but some are really good and you get to see someone using it compared to a still image on a website.

That's my go-to site whenever I have a ""how do I do this?"" question.
