You know you are addicted to Mahalo when...???

Whoever comes up with the funniest and most original (in my opinion) answer gets the tip and the points ;-)
Tip for best answer: M$3.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

You know you are addicted to Mahalo when the highlight of your week is the live tutorial with Lon. You really thrive on being surrounded by friends sharing the laughter and the wisdom of Lon.

You know you are addicted to Mahalo when the highlight of your day is when the page mahalo dollars come in and you smile at the way it’s adding up.

You know you are addicted to Mahalo when you say one more task before a nap or dinner.

You know you are addicted to Mahalo when you not only dream of answering questions, doing tasks, but you also dream you are talking face to face with Lon, Jason, Jeff and the rest of the gang.

You also know you are addicted to Mahalo when it’s the first site you check on in the morning and you have quit writing for all the other sites you previously have written on. I am no longer an active member on 5 sites where I used to be very active on. Mahalo is very much where I spend my online time now days.

This actually happened to me earlier this year. I thought, "wow I must be spending way too much time on Mahalo!" Don't worry...the dream was completely PG! I wish I could remember exactly what it was about now. I think it also involved his cute doggies. LOL!

Top Ten Ways you know you are addicted.
10. You look up and say OMG how did it get to be 2:00 am…. again.

9. You delay upgrading to Windows 7 for 2 weeks because you won’t be able to get on Mahalo while it is upgrading.

8. You are going crazy because it has taken most of the day to rebuild your system after upgrading to Windows 7 and you can’t get on Mahalo.

7. You spend an hour looking for your ChaCha guide manual and you can’t remember the last time you had it, and you spend another hour looking for your KGB agent manual, then wonder why you bothered.

6. Every time you see a billboard on the way to relative’s house for Thanksgiving you wonder if there is a Mahalo page for the place being advertised.

5. You make everyone turn off the TV so you can concentrate on your research.

4. Your family members roll their eyes when you mention Mahalo

3. You wake up at 3:00 am and wonder if all your guide notes have at last 100 words.

2. You learn how to play Facebook games so you can write Mahalo pages about them.

And the number 1 way you know is:

1. You realize that the password to log-in to Mahalo is the only password you can remember because you have not logged on to any other web site in such a long time.

I actually found Mahalo because I was working as a guide on ChaCha and an agent on KGB and I kept seeing answers from Mahalo when I was doing research, so one day I decided to join. I am so glad I did!

I remember there was a thread like this a while back, but it's always entertaining to have another one.

You know you addicted to Mahalo when...

- You want to quit your day job so you have more time to work on Mahalo.

- Everything else seems like a waste of time because you know you could be home working on Mahalo.

- You try to add "inlinks" when typing on other sites haha.

- You are constantly trying to think up topics for new pages to make.

- You have a bookmark folder of over 50 Mahalo links.

When I originally researched "Mahalo addiction" I was surprised to discover a couple of previous questions. :-0

My favorite was from @Bunnyphuphu! Hers was much more sophisticated than mine. ;-)

Does that mean that my addiction will get worse and my questions more sophisticated as I approach my black belt? LOL

When it's the first thing you do after you get your coffee in the mornings (which, here I sit with my coffee) and the last thing before your head hits the pillow at night.

When you're guilty of going back to school (yes, I did) so you can give more educated answers.

I know that I'm addicted to Mahalo because I spend my highschool spare (no course for a period) sitting in the library typing as many tasks out for Mahalo as possible. I often get strange looks, and library supervisiors threaten to shut me down because they believe Mahalo looks like Facebook from a far (...and people say teachers are smart, pffft!)

That's lucky they let you on Mahalo at school. I know our district has restrictions such as not using the school's internet for making money.

mattanswer's Avatar
mattanswer | 2 years, 6 months ago Report

Well I wouldn't really classify Mahalo as a bad/gambling way of making money, I'm putting work into things that I get paid for here, and what better way to spend an hour of my spare time making some extra coin. We just switched networking devices, and for this entire year there is NO filtering on the computers. I am lucky because I am turning 18 and this will be my last year at the school, so atleast I'm going to be out of school by the time they tighten the restrictions. I think Mahalo is very informative, and it almost teaches you ways to type under the supervision of the QC team, this allows me to improve my writing as the time goes on. I often explain to the teachers who question what this site is that Mahalo is very informative and I can actually find alot of information about different things for research, and that usually makes them question it no more. I guess its better that I'm addicted to Mahalo rather than Facebook seeing as I can actually do productive things on this site.

I knew I was addicted the moment I started answering! It's getting your first best answer, that's what drives you on. :)

As for "who(m)ever," think about it in this way. Replace your "who(m)ever" with a pronoun like so:

Give it to who(m)mever you like best.→ You like him best.
Give it to who(m)ever pays the highest price. → He pays the highest price.

If your substitute uses "he," then it's "whoever." If it uses "him," then it's "whomever." Basically, "he" and "who" are always the subjects of the sentence, and "him" and "whom" are always the objects of the sentence.

It seems simple, like we have no trouble saying "I like him" (not "Me like he"), right? But it's no longer a necessary part of communication, and we are beginning to drop the difference between "who" and "whom." I'm sure soon the difference between "I" and "me," "she" and "her," "he" and "him," and all those other variations will disappear. It's the last little remnants of the Old English case system. :)

Way back when I answered the phone and someone asked, "Is this KalieKat?" I would always answer. "It is I". You wouldn't believe how many times there would be a pause while the person on the other end tried to figure out what the heck I just said. LOL

Oh crap, I forgot that I couldn't tip an individual 25 cents :( I edited my original question but I'll figure out something that's fair @Potterarchy!

Haha no prob, save your $0.25 for team tipping or something! Funny about "It is I," I usually say "This is she." I wonder which is more customary to say!

kaliekat's Avatar
kaliekat | 2 years, 6 months ago Report

Actually when I Googled it "This is her" came up as the most customary albeit not grammatically correct. LOL

Although I can't find any sources, I believe that "This is she" would be the more customary way to answer the phone when compared to "It is I".

Thank-you for understanding about the extra $0.25 tip! I am looking for a good cause to team tip it to. I already tipped the Thanksgiving charity so I can't do that again. ;-( I'll let you know when I come up with one.

potterarchy's Avatar
potterarchy | 2 years, 6 months ago Report

I used to say "This is her," but someone along the way corrected me to "This is she." I believe most people I know would say "This is her" over "This is she." Honestly, I don't think most people care - they just want to know if you're there! ;)

There'll probably be some new charity question to tip, I'm sure with Christmas coming up there'll be a bunch of stuff. No worries! You don't owe me anything, I swear. :)
