Ok everytime i go on my computer, the date and time changes and then i change it back. This has been the routine every day THIS MONTH and I am getting very annoyed at fixing it.

Is my computer broken? Is there any way to fix it? (link)
nope mine was the same way for a while then it just fixed itself. it was always 3 hours behind or 3 hours ahead..i really dont know how to fix it, but i just wanted to let you know your not alone and that mine got fixed by itself.

I'm gonna be 16 soon, and I'm having a real big party and all. I just don't know what I should set the theme as. For my 15th, i had a punk rock/gothic/emo theme where everyone wore mohawks and chains and stuff. But this year, i'm stumped. Any ideas? (link)
some themes are:

-ghetto
-hawaiian
-mafia/gangster
-classic movie theme where everyone dresses up like a character from a movie
-geek sheek
-you could use your favourite colour as a theme and incorporate that
-choose your favourite era/decade and do styles from that time period


if you need more ideas just ask =)

I really need a new straightener, because my old Conair straightener stopped working all of a sudden
a couple days ago.
My mom said she'd buy me a Chi straightener but I don't know if I want one.
I was thinking of getting this Bed Head straightener.

Does anyone know for sure or has one, or has used one.
Does it work the same as a chi, better or less?
It seems that it's really good.
Please tell me ASAP.
I'm going to go get it Tuesday.
Which is better Chi or Bed Head?
(link)

Does it hurt when you get your nose pierced. Like a lot ? Whaats it like. Thankss ! (link)
nope it really doesnt. Yes, tears willl comeee no matter what, since its your nosee and they automatically just come. WEll actuallllly, i got mine done with a gun. So it didnt hurt at all. BUT if you get it done with a needle, then im sure its going to be a lot more painful. I suggest doing it with a gun. And again, it didnt hurt me at all. (i was very worried too ahah) i even went around wearing a stick on stud just to see if it would look good.

i hope everything works out with your mom.


whats it feel like before your going to faint? like how do you know (link)
omg i have fainted so many times its crazy.

you get really weak, and you start to feel dizzy as if everythings spinning. then you black out and wake up on the floor. you cannot feel the pain of falling either.


I really want to get my nose pierced. Nothing big or anything, just a little stud. Everyone tells me I have the perfect nose for a nose ring. The only problem is my mom.I don't know why she wont let me get it done, but she just says no , whenever i ask her. My bestfriend is getting hers done soon and my mom said that if hers looks good ( like not trashy i think) than she will consider it, but i dont her to base her desision on that. How could I convince her to let me get it pierced. Thanks! (link)
tell her that its completely okayy and its nothing trashy. (i have mine pierced its been..like...9 months now?) and yeah. let her know that alot of cultures see it as a symbol of beauty which is why it shouldnt be considered "trashy" there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. ask her why she doesnt want you to have one. Tell her to state reasons, that way i can think of comebacks

leave a msg in my inbox if you want more help or have any questions about nose piercings.

I don't know if this is the right category to put my question in...but..


Ok recently I got my nose pierced and I've been cleaning it with water and this anti bacterial liquid given to me by my piercer. But one day even though I was being ever so careful while drying my face I knocked my stud out a little..So had to push it back in. A few days later this bump appeared next to my piercing which looks kinda like a zit. I tried to find out how to get rid of it but nothing has been working. Some places were against tea tree oil but others thought that it's good, as it makes the bump smaller. Other places say that the bump may stay for years, and people use sea salt soaks on their piercing but none of this stuff seems to work! Do you know how I can get rid of this bump, I doubt it's an infection...and if you have had it personally and have now got rid of it I would appreciate the advice! Thanks =]
(link)
dont worrrrrry, you just caused the skin around your nose to flare up. i also have my nose pierced so trust me on this one, use polysporin. IT SOO works. dont worry itll go away i promise.

-let me know how it goes okay?

What is the song that has lyrics in it like "smudged her blackeyeliner" or "her eyeliner smudged" or something like that. It's really bothering me because I know I've heard it before in some song. Can you please help?

Thanks =] (link)

this should help alot.

=)


oka here is the deal this boy this annoying boy keeps messing with me a course he mess with all the other girls but he mess with me the most, likes when he sees me he yells my name,always saying stupid stuff to me and just being so annoying. But thats not all because you see i like his bother alot and he knows i like him so thats make it worst. I dont know if he likes me or is he just being annoying or what. (link)
well this sounds like it could be two things.

1) he could JUST be messing with you, just to bug you about how you like his brother...which is why he bugs you the most. And he might also find you the easiest to bug, since he has a good reason

2) he could really like you, and is just jealous of his brother so hes making fun of you. its how some stupid boys show theyre feelings. This might also be the reason why he bugs you the most.


now i cant really tell you for sure which one of these choices he is, since i dont know the details. but try to determine it. If you still need help just drop a line in my inbox and ill be happy to analyse and help =)

it all started a few months ago once in a while my computer would freeze and the screen would turn all colors the screen got messed up with lines of color and i would have to restart it by pressing the pc button. now it is happening constantly as soon as i log on the computer goes wack..sometimes during the startup process..do you have any ideas to help this from happening? i have a virus protection program, i dont have any programs like limewire and i dont know why this is happening help would be much appreciated..thank you (link)
YEAH my computer used to do the same thing tooooooooo. its so messed up. but i hate to say it, you have a MAJOR virus. you are going to have to get your computer reformatted. it takes about an hour to do and doesnt cost much. but thats the only option in saving your computer.

whats that song that goes
"you see us in the club, we lookin real nice, something something to the beat to the beat."

thanks haha. (link)
Give it to me- timbaland ft. nelly furtado and justin timberlake.

lemme know if i was right


what is a natural way to help period pains eg...exercises, hotwater bottle etc???????? (link)
eating bananas help stop the pain. Also, sit on your bed or couch or wherever with a pillow under your legs stretched out. MAKE SURE your legs are stretched out. Also walking helps reduce the pain. you can also put a heating pad on your abdomen or massage it slowly.


I am inlove with this show...I sit in front the tv all the time to see it...when it shows that is. I was wondering if there's goin to be a season 4...and seasons afteR?
Cause all the talk I've heard is about the spin off with addison...so will it? (link)
there are going to be seasons after it =) i LOVE this show too. aha. but yeah the pilot episode of kate walsh's (addison) new show is going to be an episode of greys anatomy. If alot of people watch that episode then they will continue with the spin off, if it flops then the idea fails. =)

ahah


Even though every incident happened to different people (and not Caroline) I am just curious if the following incidents did happen to one person who I will name Caroline and it happened to her over a period of ten years and Caroline posted each incident right after they happened and received answers that made her feel better should Caroline forget about the incidents because she got reassurance from this typs of website and each incident happened many years apart. HERE ARE THE STORIES: (A) In the year 2003 a male clerk tells Caroline who does NOT weigh more than 110 pounds she weighs 130 and he said this with her standing behind a partition and all he could see of her was her arms and face and she was wearing a coat; (B) In July 2004 a chunky girl tells Caroline (a thin girl who is always told by strangers, relatives, and friends she is thin/skinny, looks like a size 4) that the chunky girl thinks Caroline is average and size 8, then pauses and adds in size 10; (C) In June 1991 a cousin asks Caroline are you a size 8 or 10 and when Caroline says size 8, the cousin said I thought so; (D) In September 1997 a vendor tells Caroline who is thin/skinny; you have to be a size 10, my daughter is a size 10 I am selling jeans which are a size 10; (E) In August 1987 A masseuse tells Caroline who is thin/skinny with no cellulite "You should use a cellulite cream; (f) Caroline was standing behind the Xerox machine and asked another girl if she thought Caroline was thin, and first the girl said well in a hesitant voice but later on saw Caroline standing erect and told Caroline she is very thin, and only said well because she never sees Caroline standing; KEEP IN MIND THOSE SAME YEARS, AND YEARS BEFORE AND AFTER CAROLINE IS TOLD SHE IS THIN/SKINNY AND LOOKS LIKE A SIZE 4 (link)
i dont understand. but it was fun to read.
