OK here goes ... Ask me Anything

Not really I’m not a computer programmer 

Good Will Hunting, or The Count of Monte Cristo? 

Count of Monte Cristo 

I saw my children’s dad playing and thought I can do that so he taught me about 17 years ago.  

If you were a pizza topping what would you be, and why? 🍕

A mixture of meat toppings. Cuz meat is tasty 😊

When did you join chesscom?

Hey blackfirestorm, greedy  me again. Sometimes (OK, mostly) I'm silly, but sometimes I prefer to know more meaningful things about a person? To that end...

Does simply believing you are a hypochondriac actually make you a hypochondriac?

What question do you most want to answer and what is the answer?

What question do you least want to answer and what is the answer?

I don’t need it but with my discussion with a friend I thought some of my friends or, indeed, anyone might want the opportunity to ask questions about who I am hence I created the post. 

May 2008

1. I don’t think a hypochondriac knows they are one. If you think you are one (you meaning anyone here) then you’re probably not. 

2. Why choose Christianity over other religions. My response would be that in my opinion God chose me. 

3. Gee that’s a tough one. I think it would have to be why did you continue to take drugs while pregnant. The answer would be I’m not proud of the fact but if anyone knows anything about addictions then sometimes it’s out of your control. 

Why th do i keep losing rating when i get "refunded" for losing to cheaters?

I don’t know but maybe send an email to support@chess.com with links and see what they say?! 

ok, thx. ive created a forum about it - hopefully they'll respond soon ...I would have been 2300 :/

Blackfirestorm, you have very good and interesting answers.

One more question that I'm really interested in and I hope it's pertinent, because if it is, then I'll be pleased for you.

Do you find answering 'tough' questions helpful in self reflection and therefore cathartic?

Well most of what I have written is in my testimony as you know so while it’s not cathartic as such it does reinforce the fact I’m proud of where I am now rather than sat back where I used to be. 

Ok....

So a train is leaving London at 4:30 pm, it travels for 35 minutes at 62 kph...

Just kidding. Here's one not too complex but it'll be fun to think about.

If ur in space looking at earth from the north pole, which direction is earth rotating, clockwise or counter clockwise?

I meant from space as if u went straight up from the north pole and then looked back down from where u left.

Edit: and I know up and down is relative, there really is no up or down in space but y'all know what I mean.

Clockwise I think 

I'm thinking counter clockwise, but it would be clockwise from the direction of the south pole. I think.
