My Little Phony

I ripped up a vinyl floor - I used a scraper to get up as much of the adhesive and backing as possible and then scrubbed the floor with a cleanser with bleach. Is that enough? Some websites said to use TSP, but the floor isn't greasy - it is just spots of bare foundation, leveling compound, and the vinyl adhesive.

I'm buying perfume for someone who has only ever worn Red Door. I want to get her something similar but different and am at my wit's end! All I know is that Red Door is

classified as an 'oriental floral'. Thanks in advance!

I heard that refined foods like pasta and white bread can raise your LDL levels, which puzzles me since they have little or no cholesterol themselves.

It isn't connecting and the last time I tried my status bar said it was connecting to evilzone.org. Whaaa?

Are Costa Del Mar's worth it? Is there something cheaper that's nearly as good?

Everything I've read says silk - can I use monofilament or Fireline without it damaging the beads?

I've seen a few but they are over $80 and aren't even down. Help please!

I want to put a trailing plant in a ceramic wall pocket (maybe a half gallon) without it getting baked. I'm in zone 9 and it would be getting 2 1/2 hours direct sun then filtered sun the rest of the day. Any advice is appreciated!

Any size will do; I just need to get it ASAP, so online sites won't work.

I want to add an underline that looks like calligraphy. Is there a font I can use or do I have to add an image?

I just signed up on eHow and in two days got at least 60 friend requests. I haven't even filled out a profile so they know nothing about me. Are they spammers? Desperate for friends? Should I just ignore them all?

As a Christmas present, my mom got me two concert tickets. I think she intended to go with me. My long-distance boyfriend who I haven't seen in over a year is in town and has asked me to dinner at a really nice restaurant at the same time as the concert. He isn't available any other time. Do I:

Take him to the concert and blow off my mom?

Blow him off and go with my mom?

Give both tickets to my mom and have dinner with him?

Something else?

FWIW, I don't know when this concert will (if ever) be around again and my mother is in her late 60's. BUT, I don't know when I'll see b.f. again. Thanks, everybody.

I got my little cousin the Webkinz Trigger Fish and I want to get an outfit for it but I don't know what would fit (or won't.) The website is no help. Suggestions?

I don't remember...

You know how if you call a fast food restaurant and ask to speak to the manager, the person answering always says "I'm the manager"? What do you have to say to get to talk to the real manager?

OK, English majors, pick the right sentence:

"The buyer is responsible for fees incurred by international shipping."

or,

"The buyer is responsible for fees incurred from international shipping."

Neither sounds right.

I edited an answer with a quote the asker left on one of my questions so the other answerers would have an idea of who would ask such a stupid question:

http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Am...

and was apparently kicked off because Y!A thought I was saying I was 11. This was her question, but my answer was deleted:

What's worse is that the 11-year-old is still here! WTF?!?

I got no notice from Yahoo!, I just tried to sign in and couldn't. I asked why and all I got was a message saying my account was permanently suspended. It came from an abuse escalations department. I have never written anything worse than what I see on here all the time. Is this a routine occurrence on here?

I'm assuming that's what it is - stupid fake popups telling me I could be a victim of Iraqi terrorists and such. I have already removed some files with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware but Avast keeps finding things. I've put them in the virus chest and deleted them, but then I run another scan and more keep showing up. Gaa!
