I know they probably save 50 billion lives a year, and they’re the best thing to happen to safety in America since seat belts, but I still hate them. Why? It’s simple. They irritate me. The first problem with smoke detectors is that they must be installed on ceilings.

As we continue on our way, know that we will continuously strive to provide quality erotica that appeals to that little brat inside of you that says, "Put me over your knee and show me that I am loved - and safe."

So where's Bethany, you ask? Well, I'm glad you asked! She's been gone the last week and won't be back until after Thanksgiving, filming another full-length movie. This one features two of the most popular girls on the Web (no, I can't tell you who!) in a story about witchcraft, curses, (and of course, lots of agressive, http://www.herwoodshed.com/2006/11/what-do-you-think-of-this-idea.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jim)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17193858.post-116329159348451046Sun, 12 Nov 2006 00:14:00 +00002007-01-21T18:26:20.176-05:00Renee has been a member of Bethany's for a long time and is one of our best-loved actresses. Of all Bethany's stories, this is her very favorite, and during our last shoot, she talked Bethany into doing a spanklet of it with her and Sam as Marie and John. The spanklet video will be out soon; let us know if they did the story justice. Enjoy.

We are settling down for the winter - me at my new job and Bethany still living at our old house in West Virginia. We really hate living apart, but it's necessary for the time being. Our youngest son, Graeme, wants to finish school with his old friends before moving here to start a new school next fall.

This issue of whether DD HAS to be spanking comes up often on DD discussion http://www.herwoodshed.com/2006/10/chair.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bethany)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17193858.post-115999986118647503Wed, 04 Oct 2006 21:27:00 +00002006-10-04T18:11:01.400-04:00We're beginning to settle in to our new life in rural Virginia. I'm firmly ensconced in my new job and we have most of the boxes unpacked, so I thought I'd bring everyone up to date. The wedding went wonderfully. Anne chose a rustic bed and breakfast for the ceremony; the wedding party all stayed there the night before, renewing old friendships and talking the night away.

We have about twenty percent of our stuff unpacked, my new job secured, and we are heading out to Anne's wedding. We had the rehearsal last night at a country bed-and-breakfast in rural Virginia. The groom's parents got lost on the back roads, taking all the food and drinks with them on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Finally a local farmer took pity on them and led them to us, http://www.herwoodshed.com/2006/09/wedding-today.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jim)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17193858.post-115941224323275611Thu, 28 Sep 2006 02:43:00 +00002006-11-13T17:37:16.150-05:00I just wanted to let everyone know that we haven't forgotten you. The movers came on Saturday and Sunday to pack us up; Monday and Tuesday we traveled to our new house in Virginia and unpacked. We're absolutely beat. (Not that way, you naughty girl!)

Although we'd hoped to post quite a bit about our current life, the fact is that like a lot of couples, our lives go through some difficult times. As we prepare to move Jim to our new house next week, plus prepare for my oldest daughter's wedding, often it seem like spanking, fun or otherwise, is very far from our minds.

Sometimes it feels like we get so busy that we hardly have time to speak to each other, much less think about our relationship. But we had a great break last weekend as we traveled to our video partners' home and studio in New England and did a "spanklet" shoot.

We have each moved three times in the last six years, and now Bethany and I are moving one more time, this time hopefully for the last. I am taking over a rural practice in Virginia, near where my two sons, Spencer and Graeme are in school and near Bethany’s old stomping ground.

When we were first starting out, there had to be a clear “why,” with reasons given and clearly understood. We had discussed in length when spankings were justified and when they were not. Bethany had thought about spanking (as had I) since she was a child and was so mesmerized by the process that she had in her mind even gone so far as to http://www.herwoodshed.com/2006/09/reasons-for-spanking.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jim)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17193858.post-115751440389737758Wed, 06 Sep 2006 03:44:00 +00002006-09-06T21:03:46.096-04:00It’s not always as it seems, this D/d lifestyle. Most people who are just getting into the lifestyle, or maybe just read the stories think when spankings occur, they are always swift or given for something “really” bad! This is true some of the time, but not always.

During the spring, my job at the University got busier and busier as the duties piled up, and the family desperately looked forward to a summer of fun. We put up a dry-erase board in the family room after Spencer got home from boarding school and listed the things we wanted to accomplish this summer.
