I was helped by a member here to open up my limewire, to get that brick wall out from in front of the globe. I understand that I can do some things now that I could not before, but are you saying that I undo what I just did?

No, of course not. You were helped to configure your firewall and modem/router to allow LW access to the internet by opening certain ports when required, i.e. your system will open certain ports when requested by LW and not before.
Likewise, whenever you configure your firewall to let certain apps access the internet you are, in fact, telling your firewall to let those apps through when they make a request. Those ports are not permanently open and so you and your PC are quite safe.
The only thing I would suggest you now do is get a copy of Peer Guardian 2, which is free, it's an IP blocker which sits behind your firewall and block the myriad of computer companies and government agencies that use your P2P access to rummage around inside your PC.
