OH BTW - I edited my post before cuz' I neglected to include the question number........I hope that doesn't get me disqualified. (pwetty pwease)

Doesn't show an edit.. so you must have done it quickly..... so no probs.

Next time though NO EDITING.... otherwise you're point will be deducted.

(unless you want a spank... then I'd consider awarding it).

(edited at the request of DB......sorry hun I was so enthusiastic that I actually got a question correct)
I'm ready for my spankin' now

 

[Guest]

A request or two..... sorry...

1. Could people just answer the question and not put extraneous information. This often gives away the other answers and spoils it for others. I know people don't mean to do this.

2. Could people number their answers... this makes it easier for me to 'mark.... no biggie if you don't.. just a request. Please don't edit your post cuz... it's fine.

I have this uncontrollable need to satisfy and over-achieve.

*bending over, grabbing ankles and bracing for appropriate reprisal*
