and me tooooo - boy am I impressed!! Not many house painters like that. For the mayor that is kinda backed in the corner now - I think he may be over reacting with cutting off thumbs and public whippings and such. I think he means well but his message is gonna get lost. Especially since we have been subjected to head loppings and the such. I think they just ought to have to paint their mess themselves IF you can ever catch them. For the kids - I think a sound spanking never hurt any kid - we still practice the art of discipline. I always say I have NEVER seen a kid that would stay out of the street or away from a moving car because they were afraid of a "time out" My kids use discipline when needed and our grandson knows mee maw don't put up with any BS. No means NO.......... not "if ya feel like it" There has to boundaries and consequences for us all. I will state up front it is "my humble opinion" only - spanking is not for everyone and not everyone is responsible or fair enough to understand it. Not every drink makes an alcoholic and not every spanking is abuse.
