I have selected to use a particular paddle w/ "holes" when I have asked for an explanation pertaining to a specific incident and found that there were "holes" (deception) presented within such explanation.

God's view, according to scripture? All sin is equal. Not one sin is greater than another.

Vanilla, aka: " 'nilla " in one word? = Borrrrrrr-ing.

Lexan on the dry Bare will most always do the trick, and more so on a Wet Bare.

"Do we need to go another round?" is the only maintenance plan I've ever used.

Age is irrelevant. A public meeting is essential. As chummy as you may be at this stage, you still remain absolute strangers. Do not assume anything which has been discussed online; whether by email, chat, etc. A public meeting can reveal a lot about a person thru eye contact & general mannerisms. And then your meeting will go much more smoothly & comfortably when there are zero surprises or at least they are kept to a bare minimum.

I don't play "patty-cake" & I don't do "warm-ups". So, generally, most ee's have walked away [and I use that term loosely 😁] from the discipline with a lasting impression, which is a noticeably very sore rear end & which has generally lasted for anywhere from 2 to 4 days.

I am not a hotel/motel fan tho' I have done them on a few occasions when no other alternative was available. Select non-peak days & hours when the hotel/motel is as vacant as possible. Select a pref room as far away from any potential neighbors. Tag the door with a Do Not Disturb sign, don't forget about the housekeepers. Tell the clerk that you've been traveling & prefer not to be interrupted by neighbor noise. And then refrain from or at least minimize any noise creating implements. You should be fine.

My grandma had a "Fig" tree in the backyard. I will leave it at that.

Absolutely.

I haven't met with anyone in the past couple of yrs but I have met with several young ladies from this site since '13. There was a period of time when this site was quite locally, within travel distance, active.

As for disciplinary? It would seem & feel silly to me if there wasn't a reason. Otherwise, how could it be called disciplinary? As for any other type.......Anything Goes. 😁

Only when skin is not broken. Anything applied to a laceration could cause infection .

There is considerable advantage to lotions, creams, oils, moisturizers, etc. A longer lasting & intensified affect while also providing added skin protection.

I modified a standard wood chair into a Disciplinary Chair with several strips of self-adhesive No-Slip tape, which is primarily used for ladder steps to prevent slipping, on the seat. Available @ home depot/loews on either paint or hardware isle. Special note to EEs : Sitting & squirming before, during, or especially afterwards, is not advisable.
