It depends entirely on what the 'problem' actually is.
I frankly would not come here and ask for help of a personal nature.I'd rather phone family and friends,talk to himindoors(if he is in a listening mood),see a doctor or just generally talk to myself about the situation.
I give myself good advice by the way!!!
If it's a techy problem that himindoors can deal with(electrics,DIY,repairs) then that's not a problem.Anything else I will ask here or visit h2G2 and do a search there(or ask the researchers in Ask h2g2), then I'll google as a last resort because Google isn't always as picky as I'd like.
If I'm seeking images then I'd use Google or the specific sites I've been recommended by others.
