Advantages: Nothing!! Disadvantages: Can take a few wks to a few months to go, depressing, itchy
If anyone gets odd things wrong with them its always me! I am known in my family to always get unusual things wrong with me that no-one else in my family has ever suffered from! ***MY LATEST EXPERIENCE/STORY***
It's Saturday night, I'm getting in the bath ready for my night out with the girls, we're hitting the town tonight! I notice I've got a few red spots on the front of my thighs, but put it down to shaving and using a body scrub the day before.
... ...skin on my chest on the left-hand side, but thought nothing of it. So anyway, I had my bath and got ready for my night out and went into town with the girls.
I didn't feel myself and I had trouble drinking anything . . After about 2 drinks I was sick and I felt really tired. Please bear in mind, I'm not sick even after about 10 drinks!! I was also quite out of breath and had to take my asthma inhaler which I haven't needed to take for over 1 year!

...Buddhist restaurant in Guangzhou, China. Everything in the restaurant tastes like meat and looks like meat but is completely vegetarian. The weirdest dish was steamed 'king prawns' - they looked like those pink foam prawn sweets you used to get as kids and they tasted like fishy Spam. Oh, and I also had asparagus ice-cream in Holland at an asparagus festival".
Noodlebutty looks a bit disappointed - clearly expecting something really gross. Koshkha ... ...beach - sand gets into everything and really gets on my nerves. I'm going to take the coastline around Lyme Regis. I'd like some mountains but I'd like them to be lush and green and covered in herbs so I'll take the area around Grasse in southern France. And finally I'm going to have to choose some nice weather. I want seasons - so none of that tropical 12 hours of daylight stuff - I'll take a perfect old-fashioned English summer with rain for just ...

"Playing with knives….."
What's going on?
Have I awoken from a 5-year coma following my shoulder operation 2-months ago and no one has told me?
Once I overcome the grogginess following the ½ hour procedure, and had managed sufficient sleep and snoozing, I checked my mobile phone for messages noting that those that had come through all stated the same date - 29th March 2006 - that I had gone into hospital, only it was 6-hours later and I was feeling ... ...shoulder … plus it looked damn messy to!
Yet, it appears as though the world has gone even more insane overnight than I had remembered … 51 stabbings there were over this last weekend in the UK, 2 of them fatal. The Police currently have a weapon, or more specifically, knives amnesty in the UK, encouraging the public to give up their weapons.
Have you seen some of the weapons that have been handed in on the news?! Seriously, I was astonished and ...

...(bigger and more colourful than everything but the crows) might have the same effect on the local birds? That night while my mouth was still numb from my first ever filling (£45 and I can't drink tea without dribbling) I took Polly down from his perch atop my monitor and stole into the front garden. In case you're wondering I chose to do the following under cover of darkness for two reasons. First, I would feel very self conscious about doing what ... ...the man who hung the CD's in the plum tree the year before. My neighbourhood credibility was low to say the least, especially with Connie (more of her later as promised). Secondly, and perhaps most importantly; not many birds fly around at night (apart from owls and the quite rare nightjar - thank you Bill Oddie) and I would assume they were asleep and oblivious to my cunning ruse. I affixed Polly to a branch of my plum tree with the aid of the wires ...

As promised here is a brief review on our Wedding Day. It isnt intended to get any rating's, just by way of thanks to some special people in my CoT who offered lots of support to me in the build up to my big day. Salem-Witch, Jordon, Donna-Marie, AstonLuke, ClaireArnold, Fun2night4us,Doreen-Allen, Yamcam to name but a few have been there daily for me. All of Ciao have been a great support unit and I'd like to thank you all for the lovely comments ... ...at quarter to 12 on Sunday to go to get ready at the hotel. We got there and went straight up to room 208 and started on the shower / hair process. Then we had a knock on the door... our official room was ready would we move? So we de-trashed room 208 and moved to 216, where there was a massive 4 poster bed.
Laura said to me "Mum shall I put my dress on?"
I said "Oh hang on a while babs, I dont want you spilling coke down it.... Let me check the ...

Advantages: Get in touch with your feminine side. Disadvantages: You may throw up.
Thank you Koshkha sooooooo much for asking me to do this challange. How lucky it is that I am a soft delicate fluffy girly who likes all things fragrant, this really should be a breeze for someone as highly scented as myself.
I just can't wait to share all my beauty secrets with you.
*** What is your favourite purfume? ***
Apart from the rose petals that I sprinkle daily around my bedroom it would have to be 'Be Girly' by KNKY with its floral ... ...Bluebells, I just don't feel dressed without it.
A close second would just have to be 'La'Treen by Jean Paul Goatiebeard. Whenever I wear it the fellas simply swoon at my feet. Funny that.
*** Do you use body moisturiser? ***
There really is no substitute for that early morning naked roll on the lawn, dew really is natures moisturiser. (Should you live in a flat I suggest a secluded communal area but do look out for those doggy poo poos - no amount ...

Advantages: all the clothes shops bigger people can shop in, all in one handy guide Disadvantages: there just aren't enough of them
...seems like they're just made everything wider, without making it longer, or the arms bigger. A typical Etam find is a top where the tops of the arms are too tight, and everyone can see your belly button.
On the plus side, they do have a great range of basic t-shirts, and their sales are always excellent as no one really shops there. On the whole they fit a bit smaller than other shops, and it's not really worth a go unless there's a sale on.
UPDATE ... ...form of clothing sizes, and everything seems to fit. The clothing isn't overly generous, I find I am a 26 or a 28 depending on the clothing.
The best things about H&M are their plain, classic t-shirts. Costing £5.99 - £7.99 depending on what neckline you want, they come in a myriad of colours, and go right up to a 30. The material is beautiful as well, washes very well, and is great for printing on.
The rest of the clothing is very hit and miss ...

Advantages: A baby Disadvantages: Where shall I start
I was born to be a mum?
Were you? I know I wasn’t. I went through my pre- teen years romancing about having a little miniature me to dress in pretty clothes and little shoes, with little ribbons and little bows. When I got to the age for permissive sex all that went out of the window and I reached the stage where I was convinced that having a baby was something that would happen as soon as I decided I wanted one and not until. Sex was cool back ... ...for any consequences that might attach themselves to my bit of fun.
You know, I really envy those women who don’t find out they are pregnant until they are three or four months down the line. For me there was no three-month reprieve. One night I had sex, the next morning I had my first close encounter with the bottom of the toilet bowl and for the next four months the toilet and I became the best of friends, so close that we hugged every morning ...

Right, well, where to start, my names Stuart and I’m a Pratt, indeed if you happen to make a grab for your latest dictionaries right now and go to the P section there is a big picture of my gormless face under the heading Pratt. Yup, the word was invented firmly with me in mind. Now I can already envisage a few Ciao members agreeing, Christ you can be a hard audience at times, but let me explain just why I’m a Pratt, and what drove me to my drink ... ...start no sympathy please, this Pratt doesn’t deserve it. Right, about five weeks ago a friend of mine decided to kill himself; a friend that I had not been in touch with as often as I should have done, he took an overdose of Heroine and was found by his Mum in the morning, a life wasted. I went to his funeral, a day so hot and sunny it didn’t seem right that my friend was being buried. Maybe if I’d of been in touch with Martin a little more then ...

Mirroring Nar words of wisdom...
Hello and welcome to the review that should have been here. It was here but its not here now as I have taken it and put it into my private stash somewhere else. It may well appear somewhere else online and if it does it will have my name on it. Thank you to everyone, to all the people in my COT over the years who have stuck by me and who have been great influences over the reviews I have written. It is indeed a sad ... ...a review on which makes no sense at all when the original content should be listed and frankly because of endless problems with Ciao I no longer have the time and energy to carry on. Each time I tried, it didn't work. Each message I sent to other members, they didn't appear. Each rate I applied, it didn't show. So that's the end of it. Ty for reading. One last thing...enjoy yourself and dont make the internet your life...go out and have fun! ...

Advantages: Making money Disadvantages: Sleeping with people
This review is a little different to all the others I have read, and I am not sure what category it would come under, so I have put it under P. I know this can be a touchy subject but this is real to life.
Whilst Driving home from work most nights in Cardiff, I have to pass what would be known as "The red light district" This place is well know for where prostitutes, or "ladies of the night" as I like to call them as prostitute is a horrible word ... ...driving home, I saw this young girl I would say around 19 years old, stood on the corner. This young lady was absolutely beautiful! She had long blonde hair, a slender figure and a really pretty face, she wore a white lacy top, a red PVC skirt and long black knee high boots. As I carried on driving down on to the motorway, I thought to myself "What would a pretty young girl like that be doing something as degrading as that?" I carried on Driving ...

You have read my ops on Jessica conditions, (ADHD, ODD & ASPERGERS). This op is to tell you about Jessica and how hard life is for her..and the problems it causes in the family.
My beautiful daughter, born in 1992 weighing in at 7½ lbs, with a head full of black hair. She was perfect she looked perfect. She was born by emergency caesarean after being 14 days late, after the birth I was told I was very luck to have her as the cord was wrapped around ... ...birth the cord could have strangled her. That made her extra special to me.
Looking down at her all I felt was a rush of love like I had never felt before, she was mine all mine, and there was no way I was going to damage her the way my parents had damaged me. She was my special little friend who I would always love, cherish and protect. When I think back to the day she was born, I remember the cleaners coming in and having a look, awww isn’t she ...

I sit here and stare at the blank piece of paper. Like the paper my mind is a blank, what can I write? Why can’t I write?
Looking around the room I hope that inspiration will jump out at me. But nothing moves inspiration is still in hiding. It is a room that has inspired me before and I am sure will again, but just not now.
I suppose many would say that my study is old fashioned in fact Victorian it would seem to some, with the dark wooden clad ... ...heavy drapes at the sash window. Overflowing bookcases and piles of books take up much of the room, giving the illusion that it is smaller than it really is. The closed heavy oak door finishes my old fashioned world. My old fashioned insular life.
My desk is dark wood, a heavy looking design quite large with an inlaid leather top and a matching leather chair in which I spend much of my day.
It is a cosy room, with the fire burning merrily in the ...

Okay, I know this may be a bit depressing, but for anyone who wants to know why I can be a bit ‘strange’ sometimes, I hope this helps. – Love Suzyxx
Pit of Depression
------------------------------------------
The pit is deep and gaping,
It feasts upon my fears, I stand alone and frightened,
Drowning in my tears.
The shadows of my memories,
Taunt me endlessly,
I’m standing on the precipice,
No light surrounding me.
I know that I must jump ... ...dark,
A lonely, long descend.
The darkness penetrates me,
It swallows me down whole,
Searching every part of me,
Until it finds my soul.
It seeps into my thinking,
It tarnishes my heart,
It makes me see things differently,
And tears my world apart.
Each cutting word that’s uttered,
Each thoughtless deed or act,
Pushes me on downward,
Towards the last impact.
I’ll drift around in darkness,
Until all hope is gone,
Until I finally realise,
...

Advantages: I get to indulge myself and blame Writing123 for the privilege! Disadvantages: I never shut up! Bad news for donkeys in my neck of the woods.
...hard about the ramifications of everything I type - it's probably a reason why I'm so verbose and I still get into trouble but perhaps a little less than before. Most ciao-ers are pretty good but I've seen a couple of pretty pompous or just out and out horrible comments left on reviews by new members.
10. DO YOU THINK YOU'VE MADE FRIENDS THROUGH CIAO OR DOES THAT NOT MATTER TO YOU, AND IF NOT, WHAT HAVE YOU GOTTEN OUT OF CIAO?
I'd like to think ... ...I'd really miss if they went and a few who have and I do - Andystrong, Pussycat and Elfriend spring to mind. I'm a great guest book snooper, always muscling in on other people's conversations. I also found most of my favourite reviewers by reading something wise or witty they've written in another member's guest book and looking up their back catalogue. Making friends wasn't my priority when I signed up, mainly because I don't have the time to do ...
