How old were you when you had them put in?

Wild Fragaria wrote:Oh, yes... Venice's lovely. It's on my list of places to visit I plan to spend 6 months in Europe at some point so I can have a proper castle 'hunting' trip. I will probably have to wait till my ortho treatment's over (in Dec 2007) because I have to get my braces adjusted every 4 weeks which make it's harder for me to have a 6 month vacation

How do you hunt castles? With a big net?

Um...... I'm not especially well travelled myself. Brought up on a diet of holidays in Spain and then Florida, neither of which I particularly liked. I've only visited 2 'proper' european cities (Portimao - kind of dull and featureless, and Barcelona - one of the few places I'd genuinely love to live in). Regret not travelling more when I had the chance, I suppose.

Well, let me see... since I was 9? No wait, it was 9 years ago *just kidding*

I got them 9 months ago and it's two-year treatment. I have an out grown canine to reposition. I'm advised to stay around during the treatment.

Anyway, I was in constant pain and feeling rather uncomfortable for the first 3 months (it took me that long to get used to having a mouth full of metal!). Also, I rushed into the clinique a couple of times in the first 6 months for emergency fixing

The last few months have been quite good, apart from the soreness and pain I get after the monthly adjustment. What really exciting and encouring is I can see the tremendous progress every month. To cut the long story short, I will have very happy smile and beautiful teeth to show off all the time by the end of next year, since I love to smile and laugh a lot

I wish I don't mind to live in one of the castles if it's not too expensive.

At which point I feel obliged to note that the sectorgame smiley is one of the most disturbingly evil looking things I've seen on the net

A cool £5m. You could have 2 islands for that, though.......

Why would I trend the castle for two islands and living in a hut?

It has a lighthouse

You're buying your own island and you choose some island off the coast of the UK!


Go buy somewhere on the world

But, but, but... he will get completely isolated from the rest of the world...

I don't see how that would be true. The rest of the world is no more than 10 minutes by boat.

Aye, and then you discover your toilet is build in Milton Keynes.

Yes, Hunty dear. Oh remember don't do the thing Taris said.
