Agreed. Striking an adult is assault. Why should it be any different for a little kid? Spanked child = failed parent.

Fine. Take the risk.

My father spanked me a few times, and slapped me across the face once. Never feared him, but do still loathe him and have nothing to do with him. Is that what you want?

Buddy, I bin here for yeeears. New name. I see the super-earnest types are still around.

Oh, lighten up.

Ah. If it's the standard spelling elsewhere, ok, I take it back. I really shouldn't read posts like this one, makes me stabby.

Driving my father's car once. Needed to gas it up. Go to one side - no gas hatch. Go to other side - no gas hatch. Walk around it a couple of times. A-ha! It was under the rear license plate. (Old car, old story.) Went inside to pay, lady said she sees it couple times every day.

2018, huh? Given the Russian's ability to organize shit, I'm not sweating this one just yet.

No surprise here.

My nephew likes his chihuahua. Which is fine, but he expects me to like it. And I just can't. 'Tis a revolting little creature.

"Here girls, here's a beginning."

154% is about perfect. Any more than that and they'd know they'd built it too heavy.

I'll bet his deciding to represent himself is 110% about getting to talk to her directly.

That's one scraggy-ass looking horse. Next time spring for one a bit better-looking, and learn to ride first.

High heels are so not worth the pain - real live pain - they bring later on.
