Subj : Warning Labels To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Wed Oct 14 2020 10:21:00 Hi Daryl! BM> Personally I am in general favour of a spanking when warranted. One BM> swat may be sufficient, sometimes two or three. Anything beyond is BM> probably a sign the person issuing the punishment is out of control. BM> And not really a punishment but more correction. DS> I had more than my share of such growing up, and I consider DS> myself better for it. These wimps you say "You can't spank them, DS> as it'll ruin their self esteem", are so full of crap, their DS> colons would be embarrassed. Overall I agree again. Digging down into details and specifics probably would bare out damage to self esteem in some instances. That gentle "no no, little Percy!" rarely works when he's hell-bent on destruction of the store display. BM> I remember being spanked two, maybe three times. The warning of being BM> in trouble, or about to be in trouble was "do you want [to be spanked BM> with] the wooden spoon?". I don't recall ever being struck with a BM> wooden spoon much less one being taken out of the drawer but do know if BM> I got that threat the next step would not be pleasant for me. DS> I used to tell my late wife "Beat Me!! Whip Me!!". She'd just DS> look at me, and deadpan "No". Sounds like BBS&M to me! BM> Sort of along that to me the old movie scene of the camera panning from BM> the couple about to make love on the beach to the ocean and sky was a BM> little silly, OTOH I don't paricularly want to see them ripping off BM> their clothes and "doing the nasty" either. (Then I'm thinking of the BM> blooper: "durn elastic won't break/tear!".) DS> No telling what's going to be done nowadays. Netflix got DS> indicted by the state of Texas for "promoting kiddie porn" with DS> that "Cuties" deal. Hmmm - I haven't watched much of anything except OTA TV I haven't a clue. BM> Wrong PIN? DS> Or not enough X's. :P BM> Should start with O's! ...Hmm: the phrase (and song) is "X's and BM> O's". DS> Now, I'll hear that song all night...and have to be part of the DS> meme, where a guy is in the hospital bed, with a ton of bandages DS> wrapped around his head. The doctor comes in, with a huge jar of DS> musical notes, and says "Good News, Mr. Smith!!". We got rid of DS> that tune that was stuck in your head!!" Watch out for Nurse Pandora! DS> ... How do self addressed stamped envelopes do such?? BM> I think it's something like tattooing oneself! DS> I wish they made the stamps taste better. :P You dummy! They're self-adhesive!
