The Truth about Large Penises!

11/04/2009

The subject of penis size once came up (no pun intended) on a science forum, and the question was ‘why does the size of men’s penises vary?‘

My obvious answer to this was that, it was to accommodate the fact that the size of women’s vagina’s vary. One size foot does not fit all size shoes!

My answer was disputed on the grounds that a humble duck has one of the largest penis’s in relation to it’s body size of any other animal. A whopping 42.5cm, nearly half a metre in length! see HERE for more details.

The scientists argument was that this duck penis could not possibly have been designed for a duck vagina of equivalent length. BUT I did some research and found that indeed this penis was a perfect design for it’s mate who’s interior cavity was twisted and coiled.

So chaps, those of you who desire nice tight ***** are biologically only destined to have one if you have a nice small ****. You larger chaps are similarly intended for the larger, more spacious accommodation.

I got my invisaligns today and already my teeth look better - Seriously!

09/04/2009

What are Invisalign Braces

Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to position and straighten teeth. They are removable and mostly invisible!

I have today received my first set of Invisalign aligners, top and bottom.

I wear a new set of aligners every two weeks, each one slightly different to the rest, adjusting my teeth gradually with tiny movements.

I need to wear aligners on the top for 14months and the bottom for 6months. I can handle this knowing that I will have a Hollywood smile afterwards!

Despite what I’ve read about Invisaligns, they do not hurt at all (so far) and I can talk properly, no slurring or spitting! I actually like how they feel. Not too tight, just ‘firm’.

I’m anticipating becoming super healthy and slimmer while wearing these Invisalign braces as I can only eat and drink (other than water) when I take the Invisalign braces out. Which I need to limit and only do at meal times for maximum results.

Another mega bonus which I never expected at all, is that not only can you not see these Invisalign braces unless you are right in my face but they do make my teeth look better. You can’t see the gaps so easily which is great and the cement applied to a few of my teeth helps even the appearance so my teeth look level. So already I’m smiling broadly and loving the look!

Who’d have thought I’d say that about wearing braces. I wouldn’t be seen without them now and it’s only been a day!

For updates on my progress, subscribe to this blog and wish me luck!

Meanwhile, in case you are wondering what the Invisalign cost, mine are £3,000 and this includes all visits, fittings, adjustments, retainers and whitening. I was quoted by someone else £4,000 so it is worth shopping around, but ultimately choose a dentist you feel will give you the best results for your teeth! I’m lucky, my own dentist happens to be that person!

Shingles in Children - exploding the myths

09/04/2009

My 5yr old boy has just been diagnosed as having Shingles.

He has two clusters of ‘red bumps’ which look very much like insect bites and itch just the same. One cluster is on his right shoulder and the other on his left buttock.

Thus, a myth exploded! The myth is that Shingles only appears on a single part on the body.

Fortunately for children, they do not experience the same debilitating and painful symptoms that adults with shingles experience. There is no outward indication of a virus other than the appearance of the itchy rash.

I have kept my son’s itching under control with prescribed aqueous callamine cream. The itching is not severe enough for an anti-histamine product.

A great resource for finding out why shingles in children occurs, how contagious it is (or rather isn’t) and how to treat it etc. can be found here:

http://www.med.umich.edu/1libr/pa/pa_shingles_hhg.htm

The source indicates that Shingles is only contagious if you make contact with the rash itself and even then only to people who have not yet contracted chicken pox. Shingles is worse for adults and can reoccur more than once. It is especially dangerous for pregnant women and as such anyone with Shingles should avoid contact.

Shingles is apparently caused by the already contracted chicken pox virus which then lies dormant in the system and reawakens (perhaps during times of low immunity, stress or ill health) as Shingles.

As stated, Shingles in children is usually without any other symptom aside from the appearance of the rash (which may leave scars) and itching. BUT if the rash is near the eyes or nose then medical attention should be sought immediately.

For adults with Shingles or adults worried about contracting Shingles,  a great source of information is here:

http://www.medinfo.co.uk/conditions/shingles.html

All the above aside, some people dispute the medical opinion re how Shingles is contracted. Some believe that the chicken pox vaccine itself is responsible for an increase of Shingles in children. I am not aware of the details of this or how valid their concerns are. Neither of my children had this vaccine and both contracted chicken pox the regular way….from their friends without any serious consequence.

Meanwhile, as to how to treat Shingles in children.

Keep them off school for 7 days is the Doctors advice (to me) and away from pregnant women and other children without their parents consent.

My Doctor also suggested it was unlikely any of the family would ‘catch’ the Shingles from my son, but said it was possible. That is despite the fact we’ve all had chicken pox and the advice on the sources suggests we cannot ‘catch’ Shingles as Shingles is a dormant virus which if it appears, it’s appears as a result of our own virus not someone elses!

I don’t know who is right, but in light of the contradictory advice, caution is recommended.

My advice is to apply cream to your child with Shingles while wearing a surgical glove or let them apply the cream themselves under your strict supervision.

Issue them with their own towel and don’t allow any sharing of towels until the virus has cleared.

Avoid cuddling you child, sharing eating appliances and definitely do not touch that rash!

These are my tips not those recommended by the medical profession, but they can’t hurt any!

Edit: After having Googled for pictures of Shingles in children I am doubting my child has shingles afterall! I think they are insect bites which may explain why they appear in more than one place on his body. But I will exercise caution in any case.

Is your copywriting lingo turning off prospects?

07/04/2009

I’ve been looking at a few copywriting websites lately and …

I can’t understand a word on some of them, as they are full of marketing lingo.

Does the average copywriter realise that unless the client is a marketing specialist (like themselves) they also won’t understand what the cw is talking about and hence won’t stick around to finish reading the ad?

I’m no bimbo. I’ve run businesses for myself and others since I was 19 and I learned the lingo for each of them.

But, when selling to ‘every business’ using your unique niche lingo isn’t helpful..or is it?

Surely laymans terms are better? Afterall your client is a marketing layman otherwise they wouldn’t be hiring you, am I right..or wrong?

Could this be where some confused phd, master degree cw specialists are going wrong? Is their copy too technical..too well written? Written only to be understood by fellow academics?

Beautiful writing is…..well beautiful

But let’s face it, the average Jo has never seen the Mona Lisa, so maybe you’d be better off showing them a picture of Homer?

‘Spring’ reminds me of needing a wee while on TV!

31/03/2009

The story of my life part 1


Many moons ago when I was just 13yrs of age I was picked to appear in a period drama for what was then called Central Television. It was the February episode of ‘A Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady’.

My ‘audition’, if you can call it this, consisted of me saying very emphatically ‘NO!’.

I was hired.

I knew I was hired before the audition though.

My school had connections with Central TV and they often came to us when they needed children to appear on TV. For this particular series I recall the Director eating with us in the dining room. I observed him scanning our faces for a ’star’ (I didn’t know what the role was yet).

I saw his gaze linger on me. “Picked” thought I.

At this time I was wearing my anorak hood up despite being indoors. I appeared a poor wee thing, skinny, short, boyish with lank mousy brown hair and innocent with big wide eyes. ” Why me?”

Later I was called to the school office with a few other ‘poor’ looking children and auditioned.

My role was that of a young girl with measles, a limp and a very poor mum who couldn’t care for me while I was unwell hence I was sent to live for a while with Edith Holden, author of the famous ‘Country Diary’.

Based on my brief audition and the part I was able to deduce I was picked due to my unfortunate appearance at that time.

Flattered? No.

What has this to do with Spring?
My part involved a stroll through the country with Edith after declaring to Edith “Oh look miss Spring is here”.

Spring on TV, involved a few pre-take plants being swiftly bedded into the ground, a few camer men imitating birds tweeting and me forgetting which leg I was supposed to limp on and needing a wee.

We were on location and the nearest loo was miles away. Filming had to come to a grinding halt so I could disappear behind a tree.

I can’t think of Spring now without hearing those fictitious birds tweeting and uttering the words ‘Oh look miss, Spring is here’.
