Q: Well, I've been told I have a wonderful complexion. The thing is, it's because I use coverup to hide my egsama [sp?] scar, but thats smooth and not bumpy so its not noticeable. I seem to hide a lot of skin scars on my face lately due to pimples, which I rarely have.

Is there any way to even out my skin tone or to fix this imbalance with a cream under 15 dollars?

Thankyou in advance.

well theres this clearasil stuff-im not sure if thats how you spell it but it takes away pimples and acne its in a white tube

and for scars just look for a cream that make scars disappear

Q: my boyfrind an i like to talk on the phone alot lately cuz we're not able to see achother as often as we would like. we would talk for like 3 or 4 hours at night whil we play on the computer or watch tv. we likes to play the MMORPG daiblo 2. he owns a clan, whatever that is. he sometimes has to do something on there that would require both hands so he'd have to put down the phone. i understand that. he says that he'll be right back. but a few times he forgot that he was on the phone with me after he does that. i waited at least an hour last night but he never came back. i fell asleep with the phone on my ear waiting for him. is something wrong that he would just forget about me or am i over reacting?

you should inform him
or maybe
say like well dont put down then phone i will call you latter
and soon he will get sick of it

Q: ok im really annyoyed right now.. i think i have a virus on my computer.

heres how it started:

i went to myspace layouts site and like a popup came up and i exed it out then my computer started freezing so i restarted it and then i saw an icon on my desktop it was like play poker for $10K and i deleted it then there was another one like FREE GAS (it came up right after i delted the poker one)and then internet explorer looks weird now. it says like mirar and there are tabs that say "dunham. baseball. job seekers. investing." but they change every time and now all i get are pop ups when im on AIM and they never came before.

so i was wondering do i have a virus? and if i do, how do i get rid of it?

thankss

what you need to do is go to www.yahoo.com
and in the search bar type
popup blocker abd look for one thats free and it will block all your popups but dont worry you can turn your popup blocker off when your downloading or something it helps
