Healing Time for Nose Piercing?
I had a nose piercing done three weeks ago. My question is this: when they say that healing time is 2 to 4 months, does that mean I'm susceptible to infection or simply that if I remove the stud the piercing will close? Am I out of the woods in terms of higher risk for infection?
3 AnswersOther - Skin & Body9 years agoRing tones in Blackberry Phone?
I'm thinking of getting a Blackberry Curve and I was wondering if I could send ring tones to the blackberry using bluetooth and then assign these music files as ring tones. Can I also use different ring tones for different contacts? I know it sounds stupid, but I can't do this with my Samsung phone.
2 AnswersCell Phones & Plans1 decade agoWhat is wrong with my air conditioner?
I have a wall mounted air conditioner. When I turn it on it begins to cool and then, after a few minutes, it stops and it seems to be either spitting out dust or some kind of white-ish gas. This is accompanied by a somewhat foul dry smell. I quickly turned it off and immediately felt my throat was dry. Does anyone know what is going on and how I can fix it?
5 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agoWill primer make my acne prone skin worse?
I'm 22 years old and I'm recovering from very bad acne I had as a teen. For the first time in as long as I can remember I'm feeling good about my skin and want to experiment with makeup. I've heard primer makes your skin look better and your makeup will last much longer. I have oily skin so having makeup look good for more than a couple of hours has always been a challenge. However, I'm concerned using primer will clog my pores and make my skin suffer from breakouts. I've only been using mineral powder and a bit of blush on my skin. Should I start using primer?

I have a Macbook and just bought a Linksys Router (Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router WRT160N). Whenever another PC in my apartment connects I am left without internet. Although I have perfect signal no internet pages want to open. However, both PCs seem to be able to connect at the same time with no problems.

3 AnswersSoftware1 decade agoMy laptop stops responding a couple of minutes after I turn it on...?
It's weird because the mouse keeps working and I can still minimize any windows I have open, but I can't close or maximize windows or open programs...I can't even use ctrl-alt delete to turn it off, I have to press the start button for a couple of seconds to turn it off. If I start a virus scan as soon as I turn on the computer and leave it running for about 45 minutes the laptop (a HP model, if it helps) starts working normally. I have tried 2 different virus scans and they find no virus. Help!
