Me and Adam got in a fight.
I donno I call him the Future Gay Kid. He calls me Fat. I KNOW not really great friend but It was like the friendship WE HAD.
I was joking with Steven about him and he flipped out on me saying im not gay and stuff which i know hes not..I didnt know it would hurt his feelings. I wouldnt if i knew it hurt him so much.
Well then Becky brought up how he calls me fat and it only made him madder.. but its true i dont like him calling me fat but i am. it hurts my feelings but when i tell him to stop he makes a joke about it. or that hes just kidding.
I dont want him mad at me. I dont.. ill stop calling him future gay kid if he stops calling me fat. He told becky that when he calls me fat its funny, but when i call him the future gay kid its gay.
i know it doesnt make any sence. i know because it doesnt to me.. i apoligized i told him i didnt want him mad at me and he completely ignored me..
... I think i like him. because when hes not saying im fat or anything, were flirting I KNOW were flirting because well first everyone says we are then he blushes and like No..... and its cute but then he goes and pulls this.
=\
SAD
I think telling him how you feel might be a good start and see how things go but if he's just going to act immature about the whole thing then let it be - it's his loss.
As for the gay thing I think it's unfair for you to not call him gay when he finds it amusing that he can call you fat and think it's funny - pure stupidity and narrow mindedness! Tell him your sorry but also explain to him how it hurts when he calls you fat and thinks it's funny. It wouldn't be funny if someone called him an ignorant asshole (which he clearly seems to be at this point) so I see no reasin why calling someone else something is something he can find amusing. Explain you'll stop saying he's gay because he doesn't like it but you'd like him to also stop saying your fat because it's hurtful and xplain how you feel about him and just see how things go from there. :)
Good luck. :)

I was wondering does gum cover up the scent of alchohol? and i heard eating food can help you feel more sober? anything else? any special foods?
When you injest alcohol it will linger in your system. Once you get hit with it you can eat as much as you want but it will still take time to sober you up (as well as a lot of water and sleep). Some people are just plain unable to eat after being drunk because their body will throw it all back up. As for hiding the smell - I knew an alcoholic and everything they tried to hide it didn't work. If not the smell it was quite obvious they were drunk from the way they were acting, eyes, speaking, walking etc.
I would suggest if your going out for a drink then you eat FIRST. Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach is just asking for trouble. As for hiding the smell, I suspect your not old enough to be going out and getting drunk - in which case just wait till you're old enough. Means you won't need to spend the night throwing up in some corner, waking up next to some weird guy you don't know or making a drunken fool of yourself.

So, I went to the doctors on Monday because it seemed like a I had strep throat, but the Doctor said that it was only allergies. So today I took a clariten and my ear feels cloged up (like it does when you get off a plane or something) and it's really bothering me. I was wondering if anyone knows if it's alergies? or if I have a cold? or if it's from the Calriten?
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks :D
If your throat was a result of an allergy did your doctor not specify what it was you might be allergic to or opt to put you forward to a specialist to get tested for what it is? Generally when you're allergic to something and it causes problems you should get tested to find out what it is your allergic to specifically so as to prevent an allergic reaction in future.
As for the ear, if this is the first it's happened and it happened after you started taking clariten it could be an allergic response to the medication. Read through the leaflet you would have got with the tablets and it should say in there what the most common allergic reactions to the tablet are and if it's not listed on there a quick phone call to your doctor should hopefully clarify things for you and get to the bottom of things. In short I would suggest if it is really bad then seek assistance from your doctor just to check what it is that's causing it (be it the clariten or your original allergy).

Im sorry this is long I have just kept it in for a while. So here is the thing my life has been quite depressing lately. My family life right now is crazy and so is my personal life. My parents are unhappy and I think considering devorce and I tried to get every one in the house to talk to one another and tell each other how they felt, it seemed like it helped a bit but then things went back to the way they always were. I constantly see my mother crying and I ask her what is wrong and try and help but she just ignors me. I assume my brother dose drugs and have heard from many people he dose and have seen him I tried to talk to him about it but it was to no avail. I was diagnosed with deppresion when I was very young I am no 17 and I was on medication for a very long time and had been taken off it last year. Things had been good but now I can feel my self becoming deeprssed again. Is it becasue I am surounded by family that is deppresing and freinds who are deppresed by their own problems that I am becoming deppresed? Lately things havent been exactly the best between me and my girlfriend either like the other day I flipped out on her when for no reason later realizing she only was trying to help. It feels like Im either pushing everyone away or being abandond by the people around me, and my self getting more angry at the peopel I love as family and friends. Am I just being selfush and should I consider getting back on the medication or trying to do more to help those around me?
The hardest thing to realise is that sometimes you just can't help people no matter how much you want to or try because they have to help themselves.
It sounds to me like you may be on the road to depression again by what you have described and the situation at home could very well be a large reason for this. Feeling helpless while everything around you falls apart (especially when it's family and friends) is enough to bring you down really hard. I would suggest firstly that you speak to your family doctor and explain the situation and see if he/she does advise you go back on the medication or not. It could just be that you need time away from everything that is happening around you. I've been at breaking point myself when friends unloaded all their problems and stress on me constantly and it was like having piles and piles of bricks put on my chest. What made it worse was not being able to talk to them about my own problems becuase they all had so many of their own. It got to the point when someone did try to talk to me to try help me I unloaded all that stress on them. Speak to your gf and explain you're sorry for what happened and you understand she was just trying to help - try and resolve things with her. As for things with your mom and brother - you shown them the path and now it's down to them to walk down it. As I said above, there's only so much you can do.
Speak to your family doctor and see what he/she recommends and in addition, if you can, consider taking a break or a holiday away from home for a little while. Getting away from the environment you're surrounded by may help you clear your mind some.
Good luck.

I have recently started talking to a friend I met in 7th grade we are both now in 11th. We dated in juinor high and were friends after the fact. We have always had a love hate relationship. I knew she had just gotten a boyfriend and I hadnt talked to her in a while because my girlfriend is insicure about her talking to me. So I havent spoken to this person in a while. The other day I was quite bored and out of the blue my friend called me. She told me that a movie that we saw when we were dating when we, was on tv. I was surprised at this because that date was very significant in our relationship. I was even more surprised she would bring this up because I knew she is dating this other guy. She was nice in the begining of the conversation and then our usual her calling me and idiot jokeingly and such started to happen. I then thought to my self when we hung up was she flirting with me or something. Dose anyone this event could mean anything or am I just being paronoid.
It could just be she wants to be friends again or it may even have just been light innocent flirting (meaning flirting but not meaning she wants it to lead anywhere). I think you may just be assuming too much from this one phone call. I can't really say for certain her intentions or if you're being paranoid because I don't know her or you well enough or what was said and the tone that was used etc, etc. There are a lot of factors to consider. I will say though to play it smart and cool and just see where it leads. :) The last thing you may want to do is assume too much.

Alright, well usually I'll agree 'age is just a number' but this situation...
My friend is a 15 year old girl and she's dating a 12 year old boy. I mean, yeah age is just a number but this is weird. People usually say on here 'Remember someone who is older wants a different kind of relationship' and that's true. A 12 year old boy has just left his "Girls have cooties" stage for gods sake!
Well my question is, do you think it's right that they're dating? Or is just me thinking it's wrong?
Also should I just let her be happy, or should I say something? If so, how should I put it?
That is indeed awkward. I know my next statement may get me a lot of hate on here but a 12 year old boy has NO idea what love is let alone what a relationship is even about. So why is your friend dating this kid? :/ I'm actually more interesting in knowing if this kids parents know about him 'dating' a 15 year old? Or that he's even dating at all?
I would suggest talking to your friend and ask her to take a step back to see what she's doing/thinking but that would probably serve no purpose since she will assume you're either jealous or just being hateful and wanting them to break up (or something along those lines). If you feel though that your friend will appreciate you saying something and not get defensive about it then by all means do say something. In all honesty I seriously only see this as a phase and don't expect it to last all that long at all.

me and my friend ryan have been friends since freshman year and this summer.. we hungout all the time ;; when this school year came around he stopped talking to me completely and i was like what the hell? my friend kate told me that ryan is not talking to people that remind him of this girl sam (a girl he REALLY REALLY liked since freshmanyear that broke his heart) so he stopped talking to me and i got really upset but he's talking to kate and jill who was also really close with sam and like everybody else but me and sam (sam doesnt really care) =/ but a few weeks later i leave him a myspace message saying that friends dont do this to eachother you shouldnt throw away ourfriendship..blah blah blah he said sorry and stuff and i'm rightbut he still wont talk to me
he waves when i wave but nothing else
and it reallly makes me sad =[
idn what to do stop being friends with him
try to like talk to him more
like jill kate ryan and a few other ppl
sit at lunch together and i'd like to sit with them because jill and kate are really good friends of mine but idn if ryan would want me to
ah what should i do?
Agreeing with casiababyy. I just wanted to add to this that just because he has decided to end his friendship with you don't let that alienate you from your other friends. If he's sitting with your friends I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to go and sit with your friends. He shouldn't be putting you in a position like this in the first place.
Also, I just wanted to point out that something similar had happen to me as well. it was different circumstances but similar in ways and in the end it got to the point where I had just got tired of waiting and said fine have it your way and deleted the girls number. Now I don't talk to her at all. She has friends who I also am close to but I don't let that stop me talking to them because I refuse to be made to look like the one who's in the wrong when I'm not and when the situation was their choice not mine.

Okay, so I have a bit of an odd situation... that's slightly complicated, at best.
I'm 20, female, and in a long distance relationship with a guy on the other side of the planet who is 17. Big distance there, as you well know.
Anyhow, I talked to his step mum's brother for the first time today, and he kind of halfway hit on me. He's about fifteen years older than I am. It was a little awkward because he's so much older, and I'm a relationship with his step nephew. The thing is, most of my bf's family doesn't know that he and I are in a relationship, his step uncle included. Do I tell him about being hit on by the guy, or do I keep it quiet and only give vague details? I'm completely at a loss at what to do with this one. I'm usually the one to come up with the relationship advice, but with this situation... I honestly don't know. He didn't come out and say a whole lot or anything, so it wasn't a huge deal, but still. To tell all or to keep it vague.
Any words of wisdom out there for me?
Hi.
Firstly I've been there with long distance relationships myself and will say good luck to you and this guy. It can work. :)
As for the situation, I am actually curious about one thing in particular - why has he kept you a secret? Surely him being as old as he is should mean he can go out with or be involved with anyone he pleases (and if the legal age of consent where he is happens to be 18+ it's not like you both can do anything given how far you both are from each other). So, why has he not told anyone? :/ Personally I think it might just be a good idea to tell him the truth. That way there would be no problems later on even if you feel it's nothing major. With guys the smallest thing can be a big deal and last thing you need is his uncle saying something to him and him then confronting you about it and thinking you hid details from him (even if they were small and not a big deal). Guys can easily make a small thing into a huge deal, lol.
At the end of the day he has no-one he can be mad or angry at. His uncle doesn't know him and you are involved and you told him what happened so everything should be okay. If afterwards he feels he needs to do something about it he can kindly ask his uncle to back off hitting on his 'friends' and leave it there - problem solved.

Why in the world do guys like porn so much? Even if they have girlfriends, why do they feel the need to watch porn? Someone PLEASE explain.
I guess it's down to personal preference in some ways. I mean to be honest what guy wouldn't want to look at naked women? Even if they have a girlfriend or wife etc the opportunity is still there and more importantly they are doing so without cheating as such on their partner. It could also be to live out a fantasy (since so much various porn is now available to satisfy various fantasies) that the guys partner is not able to fulfil. There really are so many reasons, I could list reaon after reason as to why guys like porn even if they are with someone else but overall I would imagine it's down to preference (I personally don't like porn nor see any point of it - more so if I have a girlfriend).

Hi Im 15 and I have 1 or 2 friends that smoke weed and my brother does I am sooo tempted to try it but I know its illegal and wrong I dont care if its wrong but I have soo much stress I cant get rid of my stress any else!! please dont say dont smoke just tell me exactly why I shouldnt do it!!
or why I could!!?? plzzz help
I'll be completely straight and honest with you because I will say this from experience...
Smoking it just because of stress will not solve anything. It will act like alcohol (which actually makes stress worse because alcohol is a depressant) and may help you forget it for a little while and mellow out but it will not solve the problem. After you come down from your little buzz the cause of the stress will still be there so I think a good way to deal with it would be to try face it and solve it. :)
As for smoking weed, I never had personally until I became curious (a few people very close to me did it and I became curious). That's pretty much the only time I had but I never used it as a means of escape from reality. I won't say do or don't becuase that's your own choice but I'd say if you can hold off on doing it (and your only reason for doing it is to deal with stress) then do hold off on doing it. It would only make you a stronger person for resisting the temptation.

how do i know how many stamps i need to mail teacher recs?
I've always found the best way to find out how much it will cost to post something (when it's not just a simple card or letter) is to take it inot the mailing/post office and ask them. :] Simple but straighforward really.
They'll weigh it up for you and let you know how much it will cost. If you want to you can ask how many stamps you'll need but I find the best thing to do is ask them the cost and then have them put the stamps on it for you (and pay them for the postage/stamps). It just makes it all easier that way.

i want to make a website and webshow like on icarly.com but i dont know how please help i pretty much know how to make the webshow i just need help on how to make a website maybe someone could make one for me and just tell the things i need to know idk lol please help thanks
If you're only after a site where you can show the world your videos it shouldn't be too hard to put together but there's a number of things you need to think about. I assume you will want videos on the site in an episode format? If this is the case you may want to consider buying domain space. This way you can have your own virtual web space and can customize everything and upload anything you want (provided you buy enough domain space). If you choose to do this you may also want to register a domain name for yourself such as yourname.com.
All that isn't always necessary though, as a free website place should work as well depending on their limits and restrictions which you will need to check up on when signing up with them but if push comes to shove you can always purchase web space and a domain name as I said above.
Making the actual site shouldn't be too hard as most of the free sites have inbuilt tools to help you but if you do need help I can help to a degree if you'd like but I do feel I should point out I myself can sometimes become very busy (am in the process of launching my own company) so there may be times I will be limited on how much time I can put into helping you with the site.

my boyfriend and i have been together a year and this past month has been really bad, we have stopped really talking and such(and yes we are intimate)but last night was homecoming and we just stood there it felt really weird, i was wondering if yall have any ideas on how we can rebuild our friendship.(breaking up is not an option) thanks :]
This couldn't be good signs so I think you both need to address the problems you are both having and work through them TOGETHER otherwise they will only get worse and this gap between you both get bigger. Also, you have to remember that if you're the only one who wants to work things out and to rebuild things with you both again it will not be good enough. He has to want things to work and has to want to try as well for it to work. It doesn't work when only one person wants it and the other doesn't.
What was it that has brought you both at this point? Was it arguing about something or a number of things? Try to figure out what and wave the flag saying you both need to fix things - feeling weird around your boyfriend is clearly a sign something isn't right and I'm sure he may have felt it as well at the time. All I can really say is try to talk it out if it is a problem/argument that is the root of how you both got at this crossroad. If it's nothing like that then try doing things you both used to do before that you both really enjoyed. Go to a movie or ice skating or maybe even an amusement park - go out together for the day and have fun. Laugh together and talk to each other and try fix this gap that's appeared between you both.
I really hope you both manage to fix things.

WEll this guy liked me last year, and then we broke up because he didn't have time to have a girlfriend (his words) and then we started hooking up a lot right before summer and then when summer came he was like i don't want a girlfriend but I still want to hang out with you and I was SO angry because I don't just hook up with guys for nothing. Only when I like them. so i didn't talk to him during the summer. When school came he asked me why and I was like because i don't want to be the girl you just hook up with. and he's like ohh i guess you're right.. but I still like him and I don't know what to do because I really don't like him sometimes and I know that if we go out it will end up bad like the last time but I Like him!! I don't know what to DOOOOO!
Hi.
I think the thing you need to ask yourself here is what's best for YOU. I know you like the guy but in liking him is it worth it in the long term, when you know it'll just end up badly anyway?
I'm not sure exactly what you refer to when you say hook up but (hook up over here where I am simply just means hanging out together and that's it but I get the impression when you say it, it means a lot more than just hanging out together and stuff. If this is the case then I would say to do what you already know is the smartest thing to do and forget him. If he's not willing to go at it on a full relationship already then he probably never will, more so because he's getting everything he needs already from you minus the complications of a full out relationship. And you've already made it clear that kind of thing is not what you go for.
To be honest I think you should just forget about this guy and move on. I'm not saying forget about how you feel about him because that can only happen with time. But it's unfair on yourself to wait around on a guy that seems to just be using you when he deems it convenient for him. Trust me on this, you WILL find someone better even if you have your doubts at the moment about that. :]

if you continue to have sex after the man cums, so his penis is softer. will the condom let his cum slip out? or will it stay on tight.
I think more than likely it will eventually just slip off. Personally I would advise against it to be honest.

im not ugly but im not narcisistic.just had to get the out of the way. ok now the story.
i work at a custard stand. we have ice cream and hamburgers and a bunch of stuff. i take care of orders with a few other girls and then there's the fry cook. who's 17 (i'll be 16 in a month). he's gorgeous and blond with some of the nicest blue eyes i've ever seen. he doesn't really like new people and he thinks they mess everything up. i've been working there for two months and he's been there four years. him and i rarely talk unless im telling him an order for him to make. today we had our first conversation that lasted a whole 10 seconds. haha. i want him to accept me more but i dont know how. he's really sarcastic but for the most part he's nice...except to new people. i dont know what to talk about with him without sounding dorky or too desperate for his attention. he loves cars and is in love with his car but i don't know much about them. he's a senior at the next town over and im a junior. i'm too scared to request him as a friend on myspace. help me figure out how to start a conversation with him. i laugh at his jokes but he doesn't seem to notice.

Hi. You answer a question for me and it did help a little bit. I didnt rate because i thought i should ask you another question. So here goes.
Do you have any ideas that are really good for advirtising? (List mabe?)
Also, if you know of good sites where i can put an Ad up for free? (URL?)
And finaly:
You give advice and so do I. Have you ever wanted your own site with a friend where you can give advice? Just advice i mean? Because I have, but i haven't got any friends that give advice that i do e.g advicenators. I was wondering the if you did then we could make a freewebs site and tell everyone that we know and just give advice (via email because it is easyer. Lol) Here is my site. Please check it out:
http://www.freewebs.com/askjessicaadvice
Please reply to this. It is quite important and i wont get affened by anything that you say. Please be honest.

Hiya. :) Firstly sorry it took me a while to reply, I've not been online much because I've been so busy trying to sort out my company. Also my internet has been acting up lately (I hate tiscali). Anyway, on to what you had asked me, lol...
As for advertising, I'm not really sure what kind of ideas you mean when you speak of advertising. Is this ideas for advertising on the internet?
Hmm, advertising online can get expensive and there's not many sites who will allow you to advertise for free. If you have a banner for your site I'll gladly put it on my web site for you but the only other thing I can suggest is joining a banner swap community. This is basicaly a place where you trade banners with a group of other people who also want to advertise their web site and its free. There's more to it than just trading them but if you think you might be interested I'll see if I can find a place that does it for you. Also there is search engines where you can place your site at which is generally free but it can take time and there's no guarantee that it will be shown in the list because they have so many people submitting their own sites to add to the engine.
Actually its funny you ask me about a site where I could give advice becuase I had set up a forums once a long time ago for that purpose but it had not taken off becaue I didn't get time to finish it or advertise it around the Internet. I think you have a great idea though and I had a look at your site too and it seems to be coming along really well. If you'd like people to help out with the site or join in to give advice I'd be more than willing to help. :) The only thing I hate about freewebs is that you can't customize it completely which really sucks. Hmm, I'll try locate the link for the forums I had made ages back and try get you the link for them so you can check them out. You can tell me what you think and see how much you like them and their layout and stuff. :) I think you have a great idea though and from what I've seen from the advice you've given out you certainly are very passionate and like to help as much as you can which is something I do like. :) Either way though I would love to help any way I can. If you need to get hold of me feel free to email me directly at my email address (as it might be faster than sending me a message on here). You can email me at collector_of_lost_souls@hotmail.com just remember to let me know who you are though otherwise I'll think your my ex (her name was also Jessica) and I might delete your e-mail, hehe.

okay, well i have a boyfriend and we've been going out for about 4 months. a few weeks before, i DiD like this other guy.. but then i liked my boyfriend more... and because i had confused feelings. only a few people knew.... but then later on, he came over (not my boyfriend) and he left early because we were bored & we were watching tv, plus becuase he had to go to a wedding. after his sister picked him back up, she asked him what'd we do. he said "nothing." and she was like "common, you can tell me." and he said "nothing, just CUDDLiNG." and she said "ohhh, doesn't she have a boyfriend already?" and then he said "yeah." -_____- anyways, that night his brother & sister was talking about me, calling me a slut & a hoe. then a few weeks later, my sister said she wanted to talk to me about something, obviously it was about the guy thing. sooo, she said that he heard it from her bestest friend, since his older sister told my sister's bestfriend. and she confronted my sister about it. she said "you should tell your sister to chill about what she's doing, cause she's giving herself a bad name." and then my sister said "what are you talking about?" and then, she told her what happened. apparently... my ex, jimmy, was in the car while she was telling my sister. and jimmy is close with this guy gary (ex friend), and he's going out with jenny (ex friend), and jenny is close with susan (ex friend & ENEMY), and susan and my boyfriend are pretty close.. but not SOOOO close. and if susan finds out.. yannoe what she's gonna do. -_____-" and the thing is... me & the other guy already stopped talking, i mean like, he'd tried to say "i love you" to me, but i wouldn't say it back. he'd try to flirt... i wouldn't flirt back. either way, it won't stop it from spreading. and now my sister is a bit embarressed to hear this from her bestfriend about me. and she wouldn't really talk to me after she told me and stuff. i really don't know what to do, i don't want it to get to my boyfriend, because me & the other guy stopped talking, and i chose my boyfriend over the other guy. cause i actually like my boyfriend alot. T.T i just want to stop it. help me please?!
Hi.
I hate when people do this kind of crap but I think it's also the reason you should be careful about who your cuddling up to and such behind your bf's back - people will always make a big deal out of a small thing.
I think the best thing to do is be honest and tell your boyfriend everything and explain things from your side. He will hopefully understand and if he doesn't just give him time and he will soon come around. I respect anyone who can come forward and tell the truth. I appreciate even more hearing something like this from my own girlfriend and not other people becuase the impression it gives is that you (or my girlfriend I should say) was trying to hide it from me. At that point even if things were innocent and 'nothing happened' it makes the person think if it was so innocent why lie or not say anything about it?
There was one thing I never really understook, why cuddle up with this guy if you don't like him? Or was it that you sort of did like him at the time but afterwards you had decided that you don't? Or was he just lying about the whole cuddling up thing? Either way, just tell your boyfriend the truth and it should hopefully all work out. As for everyone else whos chatting all this crap about you - they need to look at themselves before they start judging you because I'm willing to bet none of them are as innocent as they make themselves out to be.

I am working on a website for my cousin who has been diagnosed with a brain stem glioma tumor. i have tons of pictures of him and iam stuck on the guestbook page. i have no idea what i could put on it! the website is: www.prayforjoshua.com
it's still in the making but suggestions are needed!! thanks!!
Awesome work on the site, I only read a little off it but after this I'll pop back to read it properly and fully. As for the guestbook, to be honest it looks okay as is but as an alternative you could try adding all the old posts into the new guestbook (although it will mean having to do them by hand and copying and pasting across) but that way you'll have only the one guestbook link. The way it is at the moment though seems to look okay to me personally. :]

Ok, so i really wanna make it safe for me to go on the internet. Especially with IP addresses and stuff. So i was wondering, do you have any recomendations about how to make it safe for me on the internet? like any free thing to hide my ip address and whatnot.
Many websites keep your IP addresses hidden but it's not that hard to find out someones IP address but you do need to bare in mind that someone having your IP address alone won't know where you live. IP addresses generally point to the company you are connecting to the internet through (they assign you an IP address when you surf the net). This is just so if you do anything bad on the internet and a company doesn't like it (or for example you share illegal music) they will use your IP address to find out who you connect with and in turn report you to this ISP who then take action against you (if it was something really bad like illegal file sharing).
In general if you want to be safe on the net I suggest just keeping your personal details on the net to a minimum (telling someone your first name won't have them outside your front door a week later - if your THAT scared then I suggest just not using the Internet at all) but giving away things like numbers, addresses and such is generally not a good idea (but that's usually just common sense). Be careful of those who ask what school you go to and such too (it's an easy and 'innocent' way of internet predators to locate you since most kids/teens go to schools that are within walking/travel distance of where they live anyway.
It all comes down to commen sense. Just be careful about the kind of information you give out on the net and as someone already said, use spyware filter on your omputer to prevent that junk as well as a good firewall to keep hackers out. That should keep you safe. :] You won't be able to hide your IP address from everyone. Posting on certain message boards will sometimes stamp your post with your IP number (this is generally for administrators and moderators of the boards incase there's a problem as I've had in the past with malicious posters who I then reported to their ISP using their IP address). Virtually every web site you visit may keep a record of your IP address as well but as someone already stated the information is kept private and confidential so you'd be safe there as well. :]
