So, this is kind of gross but I'd like to see if anyone else has dealt w/ this. The pores on my nose constantly get clogged with white gunk. They don't form pimples or black heads or white heads. If anything, it just makes my pores look large. I was watching Queer Eye one night & one of the guys referred to it as pore congestion & told that week's project to simply use his fingers and press all the gunk out . I had been doing this on my own for years. I use non-comedogenic face wash. I've even tried using proactiv (even though I don't have acne, I don't even get pimples on a regular basis) thinking maybe it would help. I've used 'pore shrinking' masks hoping that would keep them from getting clogged again but nothing seems to stop my pores from filling up within a few days to a week after I've squeezed them clean. It just seems to me that constantly having to squeeze and scrape at your skin can't be good in the long run. Does anyone know a way to put an end to this???

He is 21 mo old. He doesn't want anyone other than me or my husband to come near him. If god forbid someone should accidently touch him, he will melt down. I'm not concerned about it, because he will warm up to ppl eventually it just takes months of them slowly getting closer and closer to him. All of my friends know this about him and are happy to get to know him at his pace. But I have a friend I mentioned earlier who thinks it's funny to sweep him up from behind and hold him while he kicks and screams and cries for me. I always run to him and take him from her but sometimes she will run away from me or hold him tight so I can't get him. She thinks it's hilarious. When I get him back from her it takes about 20- 30 minutes to calm him. I think it's just awful. I told her she's mean and she laughed and said I know! How do I protect him without feeding his introvert side? Does she think she's gonna break his fear this way or is she trying to make him look like a brat to others?

Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, is defending himself Monday after comparing President Bush to Adolf Hitler and leaving the impression the administration may have rigged the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Do you agree?


I do not!

I've been with my boyfriend now 2 years, we have been talking about having kids, now I am still young and I know I have to still do a lot before I am ready to have kids but I still want to know if I'm able to. I just don't want to go to the doctor just yet. I'm not 100% sure I ovulate, and i'm not sure my period is regular. It comes between 27-29 days every month. It's never usually really heavy.My boyfriend and I,we have been having sex for about a year and a half, I am not on birth control and we don't always use a condom, and nothing has happened yet. What do you think?

I want to work in the field of Bionics when i get older. I hope to create working artificial limbs controlled by the brain and cochlear implants, etc.

What type of college degree would i need? I have done some research, but the answers were vague, ranging from chemical, mechanical, biological, and biomedical engineering degrees.

I was hoping someone would be able to give me a more definitive answer. Thanks!

I want to take Metro North then drive on to Ithaca, NY. Which Metro North stations will allow me to do this without having to take a taxi from the station to the car rental place? My main reason for taking Metro North is to save some money on the car rental. If you have a better suggestion for a cheap car rental, let me know.

I understand what the civil war was about. I understand that slavery needed to end. I also understand that for some of us in the south, our grandfathers carried that flag. Not because of slavery but to protect their land. George Washington owned slaves. Should his pictures and statues be removed from public places because of it? Why can't it be understood as part of history instead of a racist statement? My neighbors have one on their porch. I'm telling you there have never been sweeter people, and they are good christians, NOT racists.

So I am a 16 year old girl and I am re-doing my child-ish room.
I was thinking of making my new room have a french cafe-type theme, but I need some help with this. I was thinking of painting all the furniture black and have the walls white except for an accent wall which would be hot pink and a small wall be a chalkboard wall [paint it with chalkboard paint]. In one of the corners I would like to have a wrought iron circular table and a wrought iron chair.

Ifyou have any suggestions (positive or negative) about my ideas up there ^^^, please leave an answer. Or if you have another idea of a theme for my room, leave an answer! Pictures are definately welcome! Thanks so much!

I have a 1996 Honda Shadow VT1100, and it won't start. A couple of months ago, I was riding along and the bike just died. It appeared as if the battery was dead, as it would barely try to turn over. My mechanic replaced the connector between the rectifier/regulator and the stator, and he said that might work for a while, but one of the two (or possibly both) might end up needing to be replaced. Well, I went out to start it the other day, and it wouldn't start again. I even had a trickle charger plugged into it all night. All I get is a clicking sound from below. I'd like to do the repair myself, as I'm fairly mechanically and electrically inclined, but I don't know how to troubleshoot whether it's the stator or the rectifier/regulator. I don't want to throw a bunch of money away replacing both if I could just replace one of the two parts. Thanks.
