Save your points, don't ask any question unless is necessary. Answer easy question like babies names, dog name. I don't ask to many questions because some people ask me sometime nasty. If you have a question go to Google, they have a lot good information where you don't have to use your points. I have to say that there are a lot of nice people who had helped me, but once in while there is jerk sticking his nose given opinion that you don't want to hear because you already know.

you need 1,000 for level 3. Check here.
