I can remember being spanked once, so clearly my parents spanked occasionally. But I can't recall how old I was or why I was spanked, only that it didn't happen often. And I can remember the last time any of the kids in the house were spanked. It was my sister. Right before he did it, my dad said, "this will hurt me more than it hurts you." And then he broke a blood vessel in his thumb.
Thus ended the spanking.
As for my kids, I haven't spanked them, but they are wee things and not likely to respond well to it. Punishment takes the form of time outs and privileges withheld.
I was just getting pizza, and thought I'd grab a beer, too, but it turned out it was going to be $4, which seemed excessive, even for a Peroni. The guy said it was because they have a restaurant licence, not a deli (or whatever) licence, which, huh. He was like, yeah, don't worry about it, go to the deli. So I got a Magic Hat for two bucks at the deli. More like it! Although I do always feel a little bit trashy buying a single beer.
Whoot! I just learned that I've almost sold my print run...in three months!
Holy cow, Allyson! That's great!
Heh. It was a small print run. But still! I have plenty of time to sell!
I'm happy for you, Allyson.
Yeah, but dude, small print run is SOLD OUT IN THREE MONTHS!
Ah, remember those days when you were convinced no one was going to buy a single copy?
