The Pep Boys Post: this one gets a lot of traffic from the auto enthusiasts and the pregnancy community alike. Naturally there’s some bad behavior involved. Sorry Pep Boys, you and I were both having a rough day.

The iFart Post: What self respecting blogger doesn’t have an iFart post? Farts are funny. You can go to your swanky offices or country clubs, but still a good fart joke will make everyone giggle.

The I Hate Ann Coulter Post: I’m a pretty conservative gal, I even called myself a Republican until they yanked Sarah Palin out of her hut of hate. Every blogger worth her salt has an I Hate Ann Coulter Post.

The Pretty Vagina Post: Asking your husband about the prettiness of your Vagina can serve as an IQ test. My husband? Genius. I really would like to talk about the politics of plastic surgery.

Mommy Bloggers as Indentured Servants: What is the relationship with publicists and Mommy Bloggers? Why are women constantly asked to work for free? Why are Mommy Bloggers so happy to do it?

The FTC and Mommy Bloggers: is the FTC really interested in Mommy Bloggers? I’m not sure, but the discussion is liberating.

Porn Stars and Ass Waxing: Really? Do I have to summarize this? I sat next to a porn star and discussed ass waxing. Read it.

Of course, you can read more about me, because I’m available for a chat either via email or telephone (I’m so old school that way)

I saw you and your liberal, judgemental comments on Dr. Phil on discipline/spanking. I am 48 yrs old. Corporal Punishment, not only at home, but school and everywhere else, was the way of life then. Respect was not asked for but demanded. Today, seems most young people have no respect or fear of consequences, due to lack of discipline. I remember when I was young, the only way you were going to stop me from doing something I wanted to do, was to physically stop me. Thank GOD above(of whom you probably don’t believe in or totally regard his word) that I had parents and educators and other relatives that loved me enough to teach through physical means to keep me from suffering some worse consequence later in life like prison. Oh I guess you say I am judging, right? Stop for a minute before you call my hand at judging and look in the mirror. I heard you clearly yell at a woman today and say she deserved to be in prison only for saying sometimes she would like to whip someone else’s kid even though she doesn’t. Who made you GOD and gave you that right to judge. To tell someone else they are wrong in what they believe. Are we still a free country? Well supposedly, but seems the new liberal way of thinking is freedom as long as it agrees with their extreme views. Before you formed your judgement on this woman, did you bother to investigate what some children are doing to warrant her thoughts. You said, “what will you do when that child is a teenager and bigger than you? Funny you should ask the question. Is this in total ignorance? Do some research in the 48 yrs of my life and see what statistics was then. By the time I finally was big enough to do bodily harm to someone(Again THANK GOD ABOVE!!!) I finally had learned respect. Sometimes, and I have heard on these liberal talk shows that this is wrong, sometimes respect is learned out of fear of what is going to happen. For me, I was able to learn respect for others. I don’t think that it is right for your kids other anyone else’s kids, to cause me harm because they don’t like my looks or don’t agree with me. Idon’t think they should be able to destroy my propery because you cannot control them and trust me maybe your kids are not that way but there plenty out there are! Let you judgements be upon you!!! Everyone should not have to suffer the consequences of your judgements and the way you have chosen to live your life and raise your family! Maybe, it works for you, but I guarantee this is not working for society as a whole. I hope that because of your beliefs ,that I don’t have to suffer the consequences of someone’s lack of raising. Again, let it be on you and all others that choose this! If you do believe GOD, and have any regard for his word, it’s not about what you believe. Search his word:

Proverbs 13:24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
Proverbs 19:18Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
Proverbs 22:15
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Proverbs 23:13
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
Proverbs 23:14
Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
Proverbs 26:3
A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back.
Proverbs 29:15
The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

Hebrews 12:7-9 (King James Version)
7If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

You somewhat lost me with the biblical quotes but you are so right with your response to the egotistical response made to the young woman who understood how to discipline her nephew and wished that others would discipline theirs. Good for you.

Seriously, enough with the bible quotes and god shit. Nobody likes to have religion shoved down their throat, nor do we like to hear about “how it was when i was a kid..”. It seems as if everyone that is above the age of 40 thinks that everything that was done when they were in our place was better. I disagree.

Spanking a child terrifies them. It does not form a solution to the problem, it just causes them to be afraid of their own parents. Wouldn’t you rather your child stop throwing toys because it’s dangerous rather than stop throwing toys because mommy/daddy will spank them? Shouldn’t dicipline be about forming a solution and a reason for that solution rather that just causing them physical pain and walking away?

When you hit a child for something that they did wrong, you give them the impression that they should hit others when they do something wrong. So if I mutter a curse word, does my child get to hit me?
