Helpful Hints
 

Hints from Hell, Louise!

Have you ever accidentally learned something new in the process of going about your spanko business that never would have crossed your mind otherwise? Let's take some time to share these helpful bits with others.

** You cannot fold or bend a riding crop to hide it inside your baggage and smuggle it into a hotel. It will break.

** Spankers should not wear satin pajamas. Satin is slippery; spankees are wiggly. Spankee could slide onto floor and bonk its head.

** Be sure all removed eyewear is placed high enough that it will not be eaten by spanker's dog.

lol. That's why I love it when a spankee wears flannel dropseats. Regular flannel pjs work fine too though.

TOPS, be sure and check your shoelaces after a spanking. Better yet, wear loafers. Do I need to explain why? ;)

Same goes for camera tripods, lighting stands, and sawhorses. Motels where you can drive up to the door are a good solution, but they often aren't as nice (Motel 6, anyone?).

On the other hand, Motel 6, even for its lack of amenities, typically offers a large open floor area if such is needed for play.

I learned that Vanilla is not just a flavor, and that Topping doesn't mean whip cream and that the kitchen items at the store are useful for more than cooking food.

For some reason, not answering a question by a top is as bad as giving a smart mouth answer.

Don't have gum or in your mouth during a spanking, it's tempting to blow bubbles and boy does that get you into more trouble.

But it's good, from the Top's perspective, if the spankee does! Satin is quite thin and offers almost no protection. So if the jammies must stay up, satin offers the perfect medium to spank through and still get good effect.

I often do this for sarah. If I'm about to drag her off for to do some evil deeds unto her, I'll first slip her glasses off and lay them aside.

In addition to the shoelaces that BV mentioned, it's helpful to have on jeans that are difficult to pull up. If the spankee has no shoelaces to get to (or often, even if she does) it's been known for the trouser leg to come up and the picking of hair off of the leg to commence.

In addition to assorted kitchen items (which, by the way, led to sarah and I discovering, in a very round about way, that we both lived close to one another), other routine household items can be put to good use for the better correction of brats. Dowel rods, found in most home improvement departments or stores, can be effective, as can the certain other curtain hardware.

sarah has a yen for hanging spanking-related items in plain site. She found a hot cocoa recipe on a decorative board with a ribbon and put it in our kitchen. The board, for all practical purposes, is a paddle. A friend of hers from New Zealand sent her a spanking spoon, but one that was hand-decorated in an Indian motif. That's found it's way into the kitchen in plain site, where everyone else thinks it's just kitchen ware, but sarah knows that it's spanking related.

There used to be a store in the city I live called The Wooden Spoon Gourmet shop! The store is meant for gourmet and specialty cooks, but OMG, I saw implements EVERYWHERE when I walked into that place!!! Including a 3 ft wooden spoon!

Here are a few items found for 'cooking'.

ROFL seems such a waste to use all that stuff in the kitchen. ;) So uhhhh do they have a website for mail order???

I must be the only spanko viewing those photos on a spanking website and fantasizing about the batter I could mix with those things.

Actually, Adelina, knowing you, I'm not one bit surprised. ;) It's entirely consistent.

Believe it or not, it was a message posted by a member on another discussion site asking about this very store that led to sarah and I meeting. Though I knew sarah from her ID and postings on the site, like many of those that we know online, I had no clue where she actually was in the world. When the question was posted, asking about this shop in Louisville, Kentucky, I determined that when I returned home in the evening that I would reply that I would be happy to visit it for them. When I did come home, sarah had posted, stating that she lived in Kentucky, and would be glad to help. She was only 90 minutes away! We didn't meet right away, but started a friendly and occasional correspondence. She followed up her reply to the post from England with the pictures above, illustrating what was available for the curious Brit.

That's because you're such a concrete person.

Literally. ;)

I thought I might wonder back to the topic of this thread. Hahah. Even though the wooden spoons were very nice.

But a helpful hint. Do let the spankee wear flip flops, high heels, or any heeless shoes. As a matter of fact. Shoes should NOT be worn at all. Unless they are laced and securely facened. I've heard tales of lamps destroyed, minor concusions, and some very mean tops who think that shoes are wonderful spanking implements and take very good use of the nearby flip flops.

And sadly enough. Soap in the mouth is very good for dental hygene. Lol.

For what it's worth, I have, in fact, been hit in the head by a shoe before, flying off of a kicked-up-leg.

My point hath been proven. ^_^

I've learned
 

Throwing implements can be VERY effective or can seriously backfire! Depending on who it is.

Also after spending time in the company of spanko's when going into vanilla world you have o double filter what you say.

Some more helpful hints, if your spanker just isn't cutting it and you want to ramp things up a bit:

1. Start chanting "Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man..."

2. Pick up the nearest reading material and start leafing through it.

3. When asked if you're feeling this, ask "Feeling what?"

4. Yawn loudly. Better yet, snore. ;) -- Erica

and what do we do when not even those helpful hints work? I would LOVE to know...
