Great story Carolyn. I know the hit and blame scheme well. My little brother also had it down to a science.
I'm curious, was that pretty much the end of the spankings? If I had been the parent, I would not have even been able get in the punishment mind frame again after that.

Oh lol!! I think it read it as tough job cuz I didn't think you'd stoop THAT LOW :-D

I couldn't believe I went trough all the trouble of the books and escaped the spanking!

What a finish

Well what Dan is not telling you is they try to keep a stash, I take it out and put it in the secret place for us gals when we had enough of the boys. Oh and I replace it with Welch's wine that has a false label in it the guys love it, especially JohnT!!!!!

So that is why I have been feeling so sick lately. I thought my tongue was broken!

Lori if must have stopped it for a long time! Lol or they were less so much of spankings! Why do younger siblings do this all the time. I recently found out that my little angel of a youngest daughter did this routinely to my older one too. While I never gave spankings, the older one tended to get most of the blame. Because she was supposed to be the mature one I guess!

Hit and blame...

I remember once, I was running in my front yard, not looking where I was going. My brother was stretching, and I ran (face first) into his fist...

a million to one shot if I ever saw one!!!

Being the kind and well behaved younger brother that I was, I immediately fell to the grass and worked up some tears.

My father came running up and asked "what the Hell is going on here?" (yup, not only did my parents spank, they also swore).

"Billy punched me in the face" I screamed.

My father turned to my older brother and asked him "is this true?".

"No dad. I didn't hit him! He simply ran into my fist".

My brother's memory after that point is rather sketchy.

Aw man JohnT do I feel for your brother! Boy that brings back memories for me! Well I never found out about my kids til they were older and the you get one always terrorizing the older one but one day my older one apparently gave her a spanking of her own while babysitting and told her she'd kill her if she ever told me! Kids!

Another funny story I have is from my ex's family. They were a family with 4 kids. The youngest somehow always got left out of the fun with the older kids. One day they were playing some game and Paul asked if he could play too, they said no you're too young. To which promptly broke down in hysterics screaming and crying to Poppa that they had punched him. Little did he know that Poppa saw the whole incident. Poppa asked Paul, did they really hit you? Paul: yes! Poppa: are you sure? Paul: yes! Poppa: If you're lying I'll have to give you a spanking... Paul learned something that day I think!

I grew up the middle child of three boys. Spanking was just a way to get the "wax out of our ears".

I think back and realize that it all balanced out in the end. There was the one time when my older brother and I wanted a tug of war. We had no rope, so we used my younger brother. I grabbed an ankle, and my brother grabbed a wrist. We ended up dislocating his shoulder. (Never got spanked for that one, though I think we really did have it comming)

 

[ckvchestnut]

Ouch lol! Accidents happen. Like the time I was trying to teach my sister how to do a cartwheel and she kicked sideways instead of up in the air - broke my nose. Clutz! Another time playing that game twister - she fell on my arm and broke my wrist. But then there was the time she went down a mega hill on a tricycle no brakes, I told her to jump and she landed on a metal garbage can broke her arm... We were sort of even!

What a finish

Hahahaha, I used to be a huge NASCAR fan - I mean go to the tracks huge - but your pic is how I just found out that Junior won.

 

[Johngottshall]

It was long overdue for him. Hopefully this win will turn it around for him

the latest news.....

Justin Bieber, teen idol and amateur car racer, is beloved by many and the cause of annoyance for many, many more. The Canadian native has called the United States home for the last few years, but Americans have looked to return him to his native land, with over 250,000 signing a White House petition asking for his deportation.

The White House has refused to act on Bieber’s deportation, forcing Americans to try increasingly desperate measures to urge him back north of the border.
Before the Team USA-Canada semifinal hockey game a large billboard in Chicago decided to place a wager. The billboard featured Chicago Blackhawks stars Patrick Kane (playing for the U.S. ) and Jonathan Toews (representing Canada) with the words “Loser keeps Bieber” sprawling across the bottom.

Well, after the U.S.’s devastating loss to Canada, it looked like Bieber was going to stay put.
Unfortunately, Bieber did not find the bet funny, and he took to Twitter to broadcast his grievances.

I guess I'm an easy target for some. I'm still human. I will continue to meet hate with love. It's all about the music. Much love

While it’s not certain that Bieber was specifically referring to the billboard, his tweet was shared over 140,000 times and many of his fans responded in support.

Saw that on the news last night...

Since NASCAR has gone so WWE the last few years, maybe they'll pick Bieber up as a Cup driver. Can't be worse than Kasey Kahne back in his makeup-wearing days.

Blasts from the past…

Sweet promo jacket got here today. For free, I expected it to be some cheap unlined thing. Nope. Quilted liner.

 

[Johngottshall]

Nice jacket what track is the first picture at

 

[jswordy]

All those were snapped 3 different times at Dega. You can tell how long ago it was by Rusty's wreck. We used to hit Dega spring and fall like clockwork. In the first pic I am at Turn 4.

Last time we went to Bristol in 2011, we just showed up without tickets. Attendance was so bad that Food World was handing out free excellent seat tickets at the front gate. A Bristol ticket used to be a 2-year wait.

Used to be a rabid fan. I've lost all but casual interest now. Too much WWE added, and then during the growth years NASCAR was pretty much doing all it could to get rid of its working class fans. It's a rich fan's sport now, unless you want to watch it on TV. Going to the track is expensive, even for the cheapest seats. It's mostly about attracting the people who can write it off as a business expense.

Kind of hoping this will grow: http://www.v8stockcar.com

Yes I agree I've been to Dover, Charlotte, and Poconos and every year it just kept getting worse and worse
