Member Advice On Budgies

Advantages: In Opinion
Disadvantages: In Opinion

...I have now had my budgie for over a month now. My sister received the 9 week year old budgie as a birthday present complete with a cage and equipment. She was happy to receive the budgie. Taking care of a budgie is not that difficult as you think. The first few weeks are quite difficult. In this opinion I will give members advice on looking after budgies. °Brief History° ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I do not now that much about budgies but from my knowledge I think budgies were found and originally came from Australia while they were living in flocks and searching for food. The common name for a budgie is "Budgerigar" I am not sure what the actual scientific name is. It is long indeed. Today budgies are found in a vast number of colours, the one we have got is a green and yellow budgie. The general one. ºColoursº ^^^^^^^^ The colours...

Who's The Top ciao member......

Advantages: You find out who my top member is
Disadvantages: You may not agree

...I thought i would write today about my favourite ciao member. Now you all will be thinking i know who it is i bet you are. But before i spill the beans lets take a look at why i think this author is my favourite. This particular author has been banned more times than i have had hot dinners. He has been known by older members under many an alias. When i first joined ciao as Catwomon this ciaoer was the very first person i read. After of course many a rave from my sister. So last september i joined his reviews and gb were the first i visited. A week later we were close general chat and many a daft gb entry. I as you all know have had many an up and down whilst being a member of ciao, I deleted myself first time round after an argument with my sister. I know all scream (how daft). I missed this particular member so i returned as...

MURDER A CIAO MEMBER.

Advantages: You get to be part of the murder.
Disadvantages: more participants required.

...I saw this category in the Ciao cafe and have no idea what intention there was when it was posted, although I suspect that role playing events on the internet have something to do with it. However, my review is more personal, more part of being involved in something that is available to any Ciao member in the way of Murder mysteries and indeed crime fiction. There is a site on the web where ciao members gather but this is not about the site, this is about an event that happens ever so often on that site and if you would like further details, please do not hesitate to ask me in my guestbook. Some months ago, we started a Murder Hunt on the site and it was just for fun but went down exceptionally well with members. I didn't want it to be contraversial so the ideal victim for the murder had to be me. That way people got...

CIAO SCREWS ITS MEMBERS OVER

Advantages: where? quick! show me!
Disadvantages: he whole damn thing

...I make no appologies for saying that I am just a little bit 'annoyed'(understatement) at the way Ciao has handled this whole business of change. Not only was it done in the most underhand manner, but once more it has turned into a complete shambles and fiasco because of their complete ineptness. Sending out an email announcing not minor changes, but ENORMOUS changes which affect every site member just a few hours before they are implemented is patently WRONG and no one can tell me otherwise. Sending out an email which spends half its time gloating about how wonderful they are doing and the second half saying thanks guys but we decided we aren't going to pay you anymore would be funny if they weren't serious. I checked the day, I could have sworn it was April 1st! Then to introduce categories which would remain UNPAYED and to HIDE this...

Member Advice on Ciao Addiction.

Advantages: Strange challenges get to me
Disadvantages: None

...and you have to "want" to get better, as in smoking and other addictions, plus you have to actually get to the stage where you admit your addiction. The best medicine is a hot toddy, because it relaxes the brain and lets you chill a little. Onother known medicine for this type of addiction is rabbit interferon. What this involves is letting your rabbit get near to the telephone line and chew until the problem goes away. REALITY CHECK TREATMENT So, we admit we have an addiction, but admitting it, and doing nothing about it is destructive. We believe everything we read, we weep when things are sad, laugh when things are joyous, but we carry on trawling through guestbooks, amazed at new members that tell us things that new members could not possibly know, and going back into life thinking about friends that we have online and how we...

Member Advice on Pet Death

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: loss of a loved one

...grieving process you would encounter if a family member passed away. I took the decision that I couldn't let her go completely and had her body collected by a local Pet Cemetery and decided to have her cremated and bring her home for her last journey with us. For part of my grieving process I scouted all the Garden Centres for a rose which would sum my Holly up and for me to look out on and have her close at my side like she had been for those 8 years. One of the things I find hard to understand is the opinion of others who have not had the joy of a dog in their lives. They see you break down and their words of "it's only a dog" stick in your mind, they just do not understand that it isn't just a dog, it is a friend, a companion, a loved one a large part of your life, a friend you share each day and night with and who keeps you company...

Is Ciao being Abused by New Members

Advantages: None that I can think of
Disadvantages: Everyone gets hurt in the process

...I'm usually a very helpful person on this site, and I especially try to be so with the new members here. I try to let people know exactly why I've rated them down. I do this, because I think that we should always try to do our best, and writing for Ciao should be no exception. But sometimes I get really upset, and although I do my best to keep calm - and succeed most of the time, I'm starting to lose my patience here. I've laboured long and hard to not post this op, but I've finally decided to let you all know what I think about some of the problems here with our newest members. The other day, I was forced by a new member to report them for abusing Ciao. The person had posted four or five ops every day for three days. Now, I could have sat quietly by, if those ops had been good ones. But there wasn't one of those ops that...

White Member Once More...

Advantages: meeting new friends and reconnecting with old ones
Disadvantages: Leaving my bronze level and returning to the untrusted White level!

...Oddly I am rather nervous at writing my introductory "white member" ditribe. Strangely, I once felt rather at home here at Ciao, albeit at the site on the other side of the pond, until the cheaters, abusers, plagiarizers, and generally intellectually inept took over the site and cast us out. I feel almost akin to the prodigal son as I return to my estranged family in the hopes of working my way up the ranks once more all the while trying to amuse you with my satirical reviews and brutally honest writes - all the while trying to prove myself as an honest member with integrity and loyalty. Upon joining tonight, I have discovered a few old friends and am looking forward to seeking out more while, hopefully making new friends along the way. I hope to have as much fun here as I had there and hope to NOT read 1...

Members Leaving

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Going to miss you.

...I am writing this after seeing no coloured dot next to a member who I have known for quite some time. Most of you here at Ciao or the one's who have been here longer know this person as Stuleg. Well to my dissapointment today, 14th August 2004 I went to visit his home page on Ciao only to find that this member isn't here any more. Let me say that I am very upset about this since I really liked Stuleg. He used to make me laugh and I know there are a lot of people who will be sad by this news. The reviews he had written were vast in number and I always looked forward to reading something new from him. I will remember Stu as the bald headed nice chappie. Stu was in my CoT (Circle Of Trust) for those who don't know Ciao well. I know that Stuleg was having troubles here at Ciao, but I don't know why he left and I have no way...
