Jesus Christ Flipper, JG is going to need a year of therapy to get past the feelings that reading your post will bring up in him!
I'm glad you were able to finally move on. Say, did they spank you with their bare hands, or had they gone out and cut and trimmed switches with their pocketknives? No big deal, just curious.
And Hillary, are you going to pay for his therapist?
"Perhaps they thought that you took yourself a little to seriously and were trying in their own ham-fisted way to get you to loosen up a little."
Maybe the church can help. So uncaring.
