Not to make a whole moulage out of it, but mama didn't use apple tree or
willow tree switches. We didn't have those trees. She used peach trees
tho I like to say Rose bushes (full of thorns) to gain extra sympathy.
She also used a belt until she broke her daddy's old belt on my bro and
he stood up and said "That didn't even hurt", walked away, and whatever
it was he probably did it again. After that it was the peach tree switches.
I don't envy her being a single mom. She says that when she lived in AZ
with her in laws that my Grandma Margie used either end of the belt,
buckle end or not on my Uncle Riley. She never said but I think she was
relieved when daddy got in a fight with Grandpa and they came back to LA.

Hey Don,
I sure remember having to get my own switch. One thing I learned early
on was not to get the little, skinny switches. Those hurt the worst!!!
I finally started dragging back huge branches! :) Those hurt too, but
not nearly as bad as the skinny ones!

No one ever showed spankings on TV much in those days because they were
considered so unpleasant (and so violent). If every episode of "Leave It to
Beaver" ended with the Beav kicking up his legs while Ward wailed the tar out
of
him, it wouldn't have lasted a season, it would have been such a downer.
Besides, not everyone believed in spanking (remember, Dr. Spock came out about
that
time) so rubbing it in everyone's face would've led to a tune-out factor.
The only three spankings I remember right off hand on TV (I'm sure there may
have been more) were Eddie getting slapped on his behind for leaning over a
balcony on "The Courtship of Eddie's Father," Ted Baxter putting his adopted
son
over his lap and spanking him with his hand (Ted does all the crying) on "The
Mary Tyler Moore Show," and and a brief shot of James belt-whipping a bully
that Michael invited to spend the night with him on "Good Times" (then the door
closed and we heard it, probably the roughest one I ever saw on TV without it
being considered abuse but still very funny). Eddie's was the only one
considered dramatic, the other two were done clearly for laughs.
I'm glad we don't have such a mental image of Andy to remember, doing his own
"dirty work," even though it may have been part of what made him such a good
father. Just mentioning it was enough, IMHO.

There is an article in the paper her in Raleigh today about a lady in
Garner, NC who inherited her mother's Blue Willow pattern china collection. If
you
are ready, this is BIG. Big Big BIG. Big ain't the word for it!! She has
enough settings for........FIFTY TWO PEOPLE!
That's right...over 1200 pieces of Blue Willow!! Why I bet Aunt Bee
didn't even have that much in her cabinet!

Just needin' to share something that's preyin' on my mind: Oct. 8 my family
buried my 66 year-old bachelor uncle (my dad's baby brother) who lived with us
when I was little. This fella really influenced me and will do so my entire
life since I am right-handed but tie my shoes left-handed because Uncle taught
me how to do that; he taught me how to ride a bike, and he was always there if
I needed anything. Anyway, he retired from truck driving for 36 years in
August 2004 but was already ill. The whole past year we thought he had cancer
since his rapid weight loss symptoms masked cancer. (He started out over 300
pounds but last week was down to 150; he lost the weight in about 15 months.)
We got the diagnosis Sept. 29: sarcoidosis. This is a rare, very devastating
disease; he passed from this life Oct. 5. My point with this story is how
wonderful TAGS is - we were visiting him in ICU last weekend when it was the
TAGS marathon. Some nurse had put football on the TV, but he frowned at that.
I turned on TAGS, and it brought a smile to his weary face. He then proceeded
to talk to me about what a wonderful singer that old guy was (he meant Gomer).
TAGS made my time in the hospital a lot more bearable.
So, even though my family is in extreme pain for losing this dear man, I have
to believe he's better off with no more suffering. Even though my life seems
empty, my memories are nice and full... Please pray for us in this difficult
time.

Hello all...
My mama could use any of the terms referring to being physically punished for
a wrong-doing and they all meant the same. She was one of the most
fair-minded, tolerant, and kind-hearted women I ever knew. There were 6 of us
kids and
in all our years of growing up, there was never an instance of abuse of any
kind. When mama took the time out of her busy day to punish us, we more than
deserved it.
In raising my own daughter, I didn't spare the rod. She is now 23, and has
thanked me more than once for disciplining her as I did.
I think it's so sad that we live in a world where only the mention of
punishing a child in a physical way causes an uproar.
If my mama was still here to punish me when I messed up, I'd be a better
person for it, even today.
Y'all have a good day! crystal m.
