Gagging to Shave my Tongue!!!!!

Advantages: Inexpensive, compact, easy toget hold of
Disadvantages: Makes me gag, hate the scraping sensation down my tongue

...Over the past year or so I have been having quite a bit of bother with my teeth, including having to have two wisdom teeth removed recently, having root canal work and a chipped front tooth. I have always been fastidious about oral hygiene and take great pains to ensure that my teeth and gums are in the very best condition they can be. I religiously brush my teeth after every meal and floss twice a day. After a recent trip to the dentist, to check on the healing of my gums after having had my two wisdom teeth removed, my dentist remarked that I am having a lot of build up of dental plaque. Despite regular trips to the dental hygienist to have it removed, it just seems to come back quicker each time. I mentioned this to my dentist and he suggested that perhaps I should invest in a 'tongue scraper'. He went on to explain that when...

The Diary Of A Tongue Piercing

Advantages: Everthing but the healing
Disadvantages: healing process

...Okay so what I've decided to do is follow what happens during each day of a tongue piercing. Instead of just one day sitting down and writing the whole thing in an hour I will spend a few minutes each night explaining what the day was like, how it hurts on the day, what I ate, the progress my tongues made, any worries, and anything else I can think on that day. I think then this will give everyone a good idea as to what a tongue piercing is like and what may happen day after day. So In some ways it's like a tongue piercing diary haha. I know it's very long but this way everyone who is interested will get an in depth review and I have also tried to add a bit of sarcasm, wit and comedy so it will not be a long boring read. I will follow what happens each day for 2 weeks writing a few lines for each day, anyway enjoy and I hope this helps...

Seeing Double

Advantages: Irene Jacob's performance and Kieslowski's direction
Disadvantages: Difficult to fathom

...conversation with their respective father. This explanation would also destroy the sense of mystery that pervades the film. It is enigmatic and will appeal to those who don't like having everything cut and dried but believe in spiritual or perhaps psychic links between people who may not know each other. Visually, 'The Double Life of Veronique' is a joy. There are scenes were a golden glow contrasts with mysterious shadows, and moments when close-ups take on major importance. A tea bag in a glass of tea becomes magical, and the world is seen upside-down through a tiny transparent ball speckled with stars. Anyone who loves choral or woodwind music is likely to be spellbound by Zbigniewe Preisner's music that runs throughout the film. The soundtrack was brought out on CD, but it is currently only available on Amazon Marketplace at an astronomical...

Tongue piercings

Advantages: The men like it ;-)
Disadvantages: Can get infected, swells up etc *see op*

...People often ask me, why did u get that done? Well, I had my ears pierced when I was 4 and since the age of 12 I’d always wanted my tongue pierced. I asked my parents if i could get it done, but as I expected the answer was NO! Eventually, after 3 years of nagging, moaning and wining, they gave in to me and said I could get it done, but then I began to think. Dare I? I plucked up the courage when I was 14 to go into town and get it done. I had to have a letter from my parents to say they gave their consent, as I was only 14. The lady in the shop had hers done so I was asking all questions possible. Did it hurt? Can u eat normal food afterwards etc I paid her £35 pound and sent upstairs to be faced by a scary looking man - he was covered in tattoos and piercings but was a lovely bloke. I sat down on the chair a he explained...

TONGUE PIERCINGS!!!

Advantages: looks kind of cool, either scares or impresses people.
Disadvantages: long healing period usually 5-10 days and cant eat.

...Where to begin... dont let the first story put you off, let it be a lesson to go somewhere sanitary and trusted, even if it does mean waiting until you're 16. Just turned 15, an angry rebelling teenager, pushing the boundaries.. decided to go one step further and get her tongue pierced. Big mistake. ----MY STORIES ---- As nowhere allows you to get your tongue pierced (or any piercings for that matter) before the age of 16 or without parental consent, I was driven to pretend a friend's big sister was indeed my big sister, and we went to a place where they would actually buy that kind of nonsence (aka. a dodgy place). They did find it a bit strange, but accepted the situation and agreed to pierce my tongue. ----The Procedure:---- They checked underneath my tongue for veins. I was told to eat a chocolate bar and drink...

Double Delicious

Advantages: Delicious, amazing base, amazing price, cannot believe it's frozen!
Disadvantages: Not enough of it :(

...Strawberry & Double Cream Cheesecake I love food, and desserts are a particular weakness of mine and my boyfriend. We started buying desserts which we can portion reasonably and will last. As well as counting the calories, we've also started counting the pennies, and have tried a couple of supermarkets' bargain cheesecakes for £1. However, on our last shop, instead of reaching for the £1 Tesco Strawberry cheesecake, we were somewhat distracted by the cheesecake next to - Tesco Strawberry and Double Cream Cheesecake. Albeit 99p dearer, we couldn't resist and put it into our trolley. Packaging and Storage The black box definitely stands out and though it's not the most luxurious dessert on offer, it is certainly eye-catching. Besides being tempting, the packaging contains a lot of information about the product, including...

My what a big tongue you have!

Advantages: Brings a smile to your face, looks funny, dog loves it
Disadvantages: Some dogs just won't hold it the right way for a photo!!

...What is it? The company claim it's the world's funniest dog toy. It is a ball and a tongue in one toy. Basically it's a rubber toy with a ball at one end, its designed so that when the dog picks up the ball in its mouth the extended tongue protrudes out of the dogs mouth so it looks like the dog is sticking a big tongue out. It gives us humans a good laugh and the dogs enjoy it too. Sizing The Humunga Tongue comes in Small, Medium, Large and X-Large sizes. On the back of the packet there is a chart giving 25 different breeds of dogs and the recommended size of Humunga Tongue that you should purchase. If the breed of dog you have is not listed or if you have a mixed-breed dog just select the breed of dog which is similar size to your dog and purchase that size. Small Tongue - suitable...

Conversely speaking

Advantages: Range of features- sturdy
Disadvantages: Price

...The Converse 300 phone is one of the larger BT pieces of corded hardware currently on the market. Pitched somewhere between residential gasbags, and small businesses the phone offers a relatively compehensive range of features, which make this an ideal choice for most regular phone users. Current retail price is £79.99 - quite a lot of money considering this is not a technologically advanced digital piece, but what do you get for your money? One of the biggest plus points for me is that the phone is sturdy, and quite heavy. This means it sits comfortably on a desk or table without being pulled all over the place by the cording. There is a plastic adaptor which can be joined to the base of the phone, which elevates the display screen to a more easily readable angle, and this in turn contributes to the overall sturdiness. The buttons...

Tongueing it

Advantages: Pleasure, gives the olds a shock
Disadvantages: Got to be soooo careful with the after care

...After putting it off for 18 months I finally had it done! I'd been a bit sceptical before expecting loads of pain and stuff even though I have my eyebrow, lip, tragus and 20+ earrings. But I was pleasantly surprised at how little it hurt! I had mine done at Pierced Up in Bristol, they only concentrate on piercings and have one of the best reputations around. Pete the piercer sat me down and went through the procedure first. Then the nervy part. Pierced up will only put metal bars in piercings for optimal healing and less chance of infection. Nor do they use numbing liquids which can cause the introduction of germs themselves. So I had to wash my mouth off with a anti-bacterial solution for a full minute which did make my tongue slightly numb. He them made me curl it so he could get it dead centre and marked it above and below, I...

GAS CONVERSION THROUGH POWERSHIFT

Advantages: Grant Given,Cheap fuel,Quick conversion
Disadvantages: None that I have found

...If any people are fed up with petrol prices I suggest having your car converted to run on Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG)for short.If the car is less than 1 year old you may possibly qualify for a grant from the POWERSHIFT scheme which is a government scheme which pays a percentage of the cost of conversion.This ranges from 50%--75% of the cost pre VAT.I had my car converted and I now have the best of both worlds,being able to run a car on both gas and petrol.As gas is only about £1.80 a gallon it makes sense to convert.Although the MPG and Performance are slightly down on petrol the cost of fuel far outweighs this minor drawback.I personally had a SKODA OCTAVIA GLXi converted.It took only three days in the garage and the job was superb.The only external difference on the car is a filler cap on the rear bumper about "2 wide.If anybody is...
