Field Research

My field research will consist of an interview. I will be interviewing two people that I work with. My questions will include but not limit too: Why did you use/try steroids? Did you notice any side effects? If so what? What was your when you used steroids? How much did you spend in steroids? What steroids did you use? Why did you choose _____? Would you ever do steroids again? Would you tell someone to stay away from them or to try them? Tell me a little about how you took them, where you got them and how long you used them?

Internet Search Tools

I usually use google.com or ask.com when I am doing searches on the Internet. I use these two search sites because they are easy to navigate and user friendly. I can find anything from web sites that I'm looking for too pics and music that I can use for entertainment. The one thing I don't like about these two search sites is that they are mostly toward sites that sell things. It seems hard to find items or topics if you aren't planning on buying something.
