i hate getting pimples..right now i have a pimple like right by nose and its like hugeee and its so embarassing =[. last time i got a pimple like in my nose..it was right there in my nose and i also got a pimple right between my eyebrows TWICE!! o my god its so embarassing. i have wash my face. i have used tons of products and like only one or two has worked. ive used Oxy but i dont buy that anymore cuz i dont see those in stores. ive used clean & clear, clearasil and none of those worked. ive used proactiv and it worked but then i stopped cause it was expensive and now im using it again but its like not working out great..i dont know why? my mom said my skin is just getting use to proactiv cuz i stopped. my friend told me to use toothpaste but it never worked on me and she told me to use aveeno and use the circle scrubbing washcloth and her pimple went away..and last for 3 days.3 days only! my mom told me to stop using other product cause my skins gonna get dry. and just stick to proactiv.

well proactiv works well..my friend has it and she likes it :]

but it might work different on different people.
so i use clean & clear and it works really really well.

so i also have this pimple cream stuff i used once
it's clearsil maximum strength soemthing in a little blue squeeze tube.
it works great!!!
try those and hope it helps :]

need any more help feel free to ask me =DD

well I'd confront them:
just be like

"GUYS WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
or
"Leave me Alone"

not super mean, but strong show em you got attitude ;]

and if they continue, then 'd tell a counsler..it's not really a big deal..people go to counselors all the time and that's why they're here is to help :]

is there anyway to edit songs on itunes that are from limewire? i downloaded limewire yesterday so im totally new but ive had itunes for 2 years. well you kno how in the itunes menu it says "so & so's limewire tunes" or w/e and its its own folder? well ok first of all what format are they in? and if its not AAC can it be changed? and can you edit the song names and artist and stuff because whenever i click the get info thing everythings gray!

Most of them are in mp3 format..
but what I do..
it burn them all to a cd then transfer them.
That way.. I think they're AAC
or try right clicking the song adn then clicking
convert to aac

thankss!

oh wow you sound like me =]
maybe have a friend ask what he thinks of you.
possibly a guy friend of yours?
have him bring it up with this guys, like
'what do you think of so&so like her?'
or something along those lines.
if the guys says yes, then ask him out =D

is an ipod nano "too fancy" or "too much" of a gift to get my bf [of 5 months when it comes] for christmas?

im not rich i mean im pretty average-class i guess but i dont have a job yet although i may have one by then.. but i dont want to get it for him if it seems like too big of a deal.. i hope that makes sense!

yeah..it's kinda more for like a boyfriend of longer than 5 months.
try getting him soemthing else instead, maybe under like 80 bucks?
hope it helps

me and my boyfriend have been together a year the 15th of this month and i have no idea what to get him. i wanna get him something cute or do something cute for him without spending over $100. do you have any cute ideas for me? itd be greatly appreciated.

well is he into sports?
casue you could go to the mall, they have such great sports memorobelia there that aren't suepr expensive =]
Or along wiht sports maybe a really nice jersey / hat for his favorite team!
If he isn't into sports, maybe tickets to his favorite concert or play or soemthing along those lines.

Or try asking maybe his friends/family some good gift ideas..family and friends always can help =]

good luck and hope it helps

My question is as followed.

I have to have a tonsilectomy, uvulaectomy and a adnoidectomy.

Basically, I need my tonsils, adnoids, and my uvula removed (the long dangling thing in the back of your throat).

How will they remove my adnoids? To my understanding they are behind my nose.

I'm also a little nervous about being put under being as I've never had it done. What happens? Please help.

well my friend had his tonsils out and he said it wasn't that bad, just wating popsicles for awhile made him way sick of them =]
So..
if you're totally nervous, bring a comfort item with too surgery..
a teddy bear, a blanket. might sound little kiddish
but it will help =]
maybe even bring your best friend for support.
talk to the doctor beforehand and ask what they're gonna do to you so you feel more comfortable..

good luck!!!
and hope it helps

Alright, first i'll say I got water inside my ipod, then I blow dried it dry with a hair-dryer
now it works fine, but when I plug it in to my computer... it's really slow and not good.
So it's like this-
I go into Itunes and then plug in my ipod... then it says what you're ipod is named and then after that if i want to register my ipod. Then when my ipod shows up on Itunes... i try to get a song into my ipod and it doesn't work! Sometimes it shows the songs name, artist, album etc. for a split second, then it just disapears.

Does anybody know why it does this and how I can fix it. I dont want to go to the apple store and pay money to get them it fixed for me. The ipod works, just not when its on Itunes. THANKS SO MUCH!

i'd go to best buy and see what they say.
that's what my friend did when hers broke.
too bad she had to send hers in, but
maybe you won't have to =]
