Man's&amp;nbsp;voice.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;How I longed to put my arms around him,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;To&amp;nbsp;hold him and ease the pain in his heart.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;At times it is&amp;nbsp;so hard to sound cheerful,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;I dare not let him know &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;How it breaks my heart to hear him hurting so,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;My Sailor tells me how proud he is of me,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;For being so strong while he is away.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;I may be able to fool my Sailor Man&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;But there&amp;nbsp;is no fooling the Captain&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;For it seems he heard in my voice &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;what I was able to keep from my Sailor Man.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Captain assured me what he heard in my voice&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;would stay between us.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;and he would continue to take care of my Sailor Man&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;It seems I have a new friend,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;for which I am truly grateful&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;I thanked the Captain for his friendship,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;And when the calls were finished,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;I like the wee kitten &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;hid my face in my arms, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;and lit the tears fall&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Then headed for the sea.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;I am so thankful for my beloved ocean&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;for once again her fierceness embraced me,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;She&amp;nbsp;took my tears once more&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;and helped ease some of the pain that's in my heart&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Once more she took my weakness&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Replacing it with her own strength.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Re-enforcing once again,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;That anything can be over come,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;if only we believe it is so.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;So here I sit&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;With strength renewed&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Ready&amp;nbsp;to lift the Spirits of &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;My Sailor Man&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;when he calls&amp;nbsp; again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Hold tight to your

supportive&lt;br /&gt;Said the first blog I saw was Bonnie's,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;then Hermione's &lt;br /&gt;And from there the friendships just kept growing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found a poem, in which I have change a few words.&lt;br /&gt;But for me, it sums up how I see my Blogging Family&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through days of tears and laughter&lt;br /&gt;We found a time to

BIG TIME&lt;br /&gt;Seems sailor was IM'ing with my granddaughter,&lt;br /&gt;And she spilled the beans&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When ever sailor and I talked, I have always been able to &lt;br /&gt;as he puts it wiggle away from something I do not want to talk about.&lt;br /&gt;And that is exactly what I have been doing for some time, when it came to questions about my health.&lt;br /&gt;I always had a sneeky feeling that he did not believe me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well in this mornings email there was a big one liner&lt;br /&gt;"BABY GIRL, YOU REALLY IN BIG TROUBLE THIS TIME!"&lt;br /&gt;then my granddaughter emailed and said "Sorry ", I thought he Knew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I seem to be such a slow learner,&lt;br /&gt;And just do not listen to the voices of the spirits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With work the way it was going,&lt;br /&gt;and other life problems, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of going down to the ocean,&lt;br /&gt;I tried to handle everything alone,&lt;br /&gt;and ended up getting very badly run down&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even when I was home in February,&lt;br /&gt;I was able to wiggle out of questions,&lt;br /&gt;Only because we had so much &lt;br /&gt;going on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the time I did get to the beach,&lt;br /&gt;The tide seemed to be so far out,&lt;br /&gt;And I felt as though I was stranded on a sandbar, &lt;br /&gt;With an angry sea between me and the shore&lt;br /&gt;I had no choice but to stop and listen ,&lt;br /&gt;I sat down on the wet sand and cried, &lt;br /&gt;and begged for the healing help of the sea &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And ...........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My beloved ocean recued me once again&lt;br /&gt;And as the waves abosorbed my tears, &lt;br /&gt;and gently teased my toes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She entered my heart and soul, and made me hear ,&lt;br /&gt;that which I needed to hear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She removed the chains of doubt from my mind and heart.&lt;br /&gt;Showed me the special man that I am married to.&lt;br /&gt;She restored my balance and my strength,&lt;br /&gt;Then showed me the path back to shore,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems one must become lost, &lt;br /&gt;in order to find their way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now with feet back firmly on the ground,&lt;br /&gt;I phoned my sailor,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I explained to him what has been going on,&lt;br /&gt;And that having never had someone that ever stood beside me,&lt;br /&gt;I just naturally tried to handle things alone.&lt;br /&gt;And in doing so, for a time I forgot him, and the sea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We talked along time,&lt;br /&gt;We cried together,&lt;br /&gt;And we laughed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then he said we would discuss this further, when I do get home.&lt;br /&gt;I asked him if this was another entry in his darn book&lt;br /&gt;He said yes, but the sentence would be reduced, &lt;br /&gt;But I would not be let off the hook&lt;br /&gt;Sailor said that I have to learn that there are two of us now&lt;br /&gt;to handle all problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps once I am home to stay, &lt;br /&gt;having someone to share things with will become natural to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sure hope so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so very lucky to have such a loving and caring husband&lt;br /&gt;One who is so patient with me&lt;br /&gt;And who I know deep in my heart ,&lt;br /&gt;will always be there for me and for us.&lt;br /&gt;I just have to remember that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend Dr Ken once said to me:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure, the tide ebbs...&lt;br /&gt;but it always flows back in,&lt;br /&gt;and when it does,&lt;br /&gt;it can be overwhelming and fulfilling&lt;br /&gt;and he hoped I always found high tide...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I do have alot of high tides, but also many low ones&lt;br /&gt;but since I met all of you wonderful friends&lt;br /&gt;The low ones are easier to deal with, cause there is always someone to talk to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugs to

of the wonderful people who entered my life this past year.&lt;br /&gt;I think of all my internet friends, and wish them well&lt;br /&gt;I thought of all the loved ones that passed from this world to the next.&lt;br /&gt;Happy that they have been apart of my life &lt;br /&gt;I see the smiling face of my beloved New Husband, &lt;br /&gt;And I thought of the joy and contentment that we have brought to each others lives.&lt;br /&gt;And asked for many years to share this joy together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought of a year filled with lots of ups and downs&lt;br /&gt;A year filled with challenges aplenty.&lt;br /&gt;A year filled with laughter and tears, both happy and sad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I give thanks for this year that is about to end, &lt;br /&gt;and thanks for the New Year that is about to start.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I once more became aware of being back on the beach,&lt;br /&gt;With cold wet toes&lt;br /&gt;And a bright moonlit path back to my car,&lt;br /&gt;I remembered a verse that was given to me many many years ago.&lt;br /&gt;And until this nigh, did not mean much to me,&lt;br /&gt;For I did not really understand it.&lt;br /&gt;But this night it became clear. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will share it with you,&lt;br /&gt;Say good night, &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

text-align: center;"&gt;My place of peace and strength&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not sure if it is the season, or the fact that I miss my husband so very much, that has me feeling so sentimental.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But for what ever the reason, tonight I sit here listening to a relaxation CD of Ocean waves and rereading some of my first few posts&lt;br /&gt;So many changes have take place in my life since those first posts.&lt;br /&gt;When I first found the Taken in Hand website, that lead me to all of you, I was so unsure, and afraid of what the reaction would be.&lt;br /&gt;Never in my life have I ever trusted anyone as I did all of you.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Nor allowed anyone to know so much about me.&lt;br /&gt;I am so grateful that I did. I made many new and wonderful friends during those first post.&lt;br /&gt;I grew. I gained the courage to search for the true me, and gained the confidence to embrace the changes in my live, and to accept the guidance of my friends.&lt;br /&gt;I said good bye to some people&amp;nbsp;from the past with no regret.&lt;br /&gt;Met someone very special who became my friend, and then my husband, my best friend and soul mate.&lt;br /&gt;With the welcome and acceptance that I received from you, a fair sized crack appeared in my protective shell.&lt;br /&gt;It did not take my new husband long to completely destroy my protective shellcompletly, and to teach me that I was not alone, and never would be again, and that I was truly safe with him, and always would be.&lt;br /&gt;My Sailor and I are two of a kind. both very stubborn, and strong willed.&lt;br /&gt;He is the only one that knows how to handle me. He knows my stengths and weaknesses&lt;br /&gt;We may be apart now due to his work, but the bond that we share strengthens each and every day.&lt;br /&gt;We both thrive on challenge, and this is just one of many that will come our way.&lt;br /&gt;I look forward to sharing those challenges as they come about.&lt;br /&gt;But in the meantime, I want to Thank all of you for being a very important part of my life thus far, &lt;br /&gt;For sharing my growth and sharing your lives with me.&lt;br /&gt;Merry Christmas to you and yours and the Very Best to all in 2010&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6583133127536986893-3677879009260534107?l=lilsams.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://lilsams.blogspot.com' title='Thank you to Special Friends and Merry Christmas'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lilsams.blogspot.com/feeds/3677879009260534107/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6583133127536986893&amp;postID=3677879009260534107' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6583133127536986893/posts/default/3677879009260534107'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6583133127536986893/posts/default/3677879009260534107'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lilsams.blogspot.com/2009/12/merry-christmas-and-thank-you.html' title='Thank you to Special Friends and Merry Christmas'/><author><name>Lil Sam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02886646695180802480</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4ySpZESvq_4/SY9dEalyGWI/AAAAAAAAABE/hgpk85qMaGo/S220/Picture+001.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4ySpZESvq_4/SzHB7UUGgBI/AAAAAAAAAF0/7FDKuqS2jRQ/s72-c/Special+friends+3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583133127536986893.post-4703944298687781945</id><published>2009-12-18T18:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-18T18:48:34.380-08:00</updated><title type='text'>My first year of Blogging</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My first year of Blogging&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4ySpZESvq_4/Syw8-pekn_I/AAAAAAAAAFk/-yNam5B2bqk/s1600-h/Lil+Fall+Angel.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ps="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4ySpZESvq_4/Syw8-pekn_I/AAAAAAAAAFk/-yNam5B2bqk/s320/Lil+Fall+Angel.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I have been through so many changes this past year,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Grown so much, met so many wonderful people.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Last night and tonight I have been enjoying a trip through many spanking blogs, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And I got to thinking about a night 1yr and 7wks ago, when I found the Taken in Hand site.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I got reading that site, forgot about time and forgot that I had to go to work in the morning, LOL &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OOPS, it was 4:30 am and I had to be up at 6 for work. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But I could not get enough of that blog and the many sites that I visited from there&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I remember thinking that night/early morning, that there must be something wrong with me.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here I was, suppose to be a mature adult. So what was I doing searching for spanking sites.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why would any so called mature woman want to be spanked or feel she needed to be spanked?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well that site made me feel alittle better,.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From there I visited many blogs, with the first one being Bonnies MY Bottom Smarts.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What a fantastic site that was, and how it got my mind and imagination working,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I was so excited to learn that there were others that enjoyed or wanted to be spanked.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To know that I was not as weird as I thought I was.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From there I visited Spanking Pixie and Journey to the Darkside, .&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I just could not seem to read enough.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What wonderful and fantastic people I met on these sites.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So open and honest about their needs, wants,and their life style.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Finally on December 19th 2008, I created my blog and posted for the very first time&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As I reread the first post of my blog.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I remember how much I shook as I typed it.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thank goodness for spell check.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I made so many spelling mistakes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I was excited, yet scared. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hoped I would be accepted yet so very sure&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;that I would end up being flamed. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I might have been 57 yrs old, but I felt like a very naughty child.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It took me three days to get up the nerve to check my blog.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I was so surprised at the warm welcome, the comments and encouragement I received from so many people, that the tears fell like rain.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am still amazed that I started a blog, let alone shared so much of myself with people I did not yet know. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I have not posted all that often, but when I have, I have always been accepted for myself. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When I have felt confused or alone my friends have always been there for me with encouragement.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some of you even email me privately and shared words of wisdom with me. You have all helped me grow.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I think however, that I did my most growing in February of 2009.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I have reread my posts, and all the wonderful and helpful comments that were so lovingly given.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;With all of your help, my beloved ocean, and the fighting between the lil devil and lil angel sitting on my shoulder, I have been able to stay true to myself.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thanks to the gentle guidance and encouragement that I received from my friends, I have made the best choices for me.

to go back to the states with him. and see the Dr, but oh no, not my sailor man.&lt;br /&gt;So Thursday morning saw a worried me on my way back to my Canandian home and hubby back to the tugboat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He called later that &amp;nbsp;thursday night and said they were on thier way to Alaska,would be gone 14 days.&lt;br /&gt;Never heard from hubby again until tonight Tuesday the 15th. &lt;br /&gt;Due to very bad weather he was not abe to get through on the phone.&lt;br /&gt;Said they were in a cove and had to dtop anchor due to snow, and heavy winds and seas&lt;br /&gt;He did not sound good, and when questioned, he said he has not been doing well, and was in alot of pain.&lt;br /&gt;I am very thankful to the tugboat captian, who is keeping an eye on my sailor.&lt;br /&gt;He has promised to go to the Dr. when he gets in hopefully on the 22nd&lt;br /&gt;So I will be taking time off work to join hubby in the states and make sure that he is looked after.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am still so amazed at what he and I share, and at how deep our love is. &lt;br /&gt;What I felt for my first 2 husbands was nothing compared to&amp;nbsp;

He was going to be in port wednesday morning until thursday morning. Could I steal away from work for that time period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to my work and the wonderful people I work for and with, I was given the time off.&lt;br /&gt;So off I went early Wednesday morning to meet the ferry, with the blessings of my clients.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh how I wanted to jump the fence as I saw him come down the ramp way.&lt;br /&gt;Just to feel those arms of his around me once more.&lt;br /&gt;Well he was finally through customs, and we are finally together,&lt;br /&gt;And once again I am surprised at how much love,joy and happiness a heart can hold without bursting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all the hugs and smooches, it was off to find a place for lunch. &lt;br /&gt;During lunch, my loving husband reminded me that I was in trouble.&lt;br /&gt;I could not think why or what he meant, that is until I saw the look in his eyes,&lt;br /&gt;My heart did a double flip, for there was no mistaking that look.&lt;br /&gt;It was a look I had come to know on our honeymoon.&lt;br /&gt;But I still did not know what I was in trouble for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well my appetite just went out the window, my mind just kept running ahead of me to our room,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soon we were at our room, and hubby reminded me that for the past 6 days, I had been very grumpy when he phoned.

(nothing new for me, it seems)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That hubby of mine is so fast,and it was not very long before I saw the errors of my ways, for I very soon found myself over his knee.(much to my delight)&lt;br /&gt;He has a way of teasing that soon has me begging to be spanked,.&lt;br /&gt;And he is so good at it, and it was not long before I was promising to be good and watch my attitued.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember thinking at one time," I wonder if I am getting into something I am going to regret?"&lt;br /&gt;Now, I am a happy and contented, pampered and well spanked wife, and I love every minute of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this is the joy that we share when we are together for short periods of time, I can only imagine what how great it will be when he retires and we can be together all the time.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6583133127536986893-8458921641512286522?l=lilsams.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://lilsams.blogspot.com' title='An Unexpected treat'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lilsams.blogspot.com/feeds/8458921641512286522/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6583133127536986893&amp;postID=8458921641512286522' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6583133127536986893/posts/default/8458921641512286522'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6583133127536986893/posts/default/8458921641512286522'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lilsams.blogspot.com/2009/12/unexpected-treat.html' title='An Unexpected treat'/><author><name>Lil Sam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02886646695180802480</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4ySpZESvq_4/SY9dEalyGWI/AAAAAAAAABE/hgpk85qMaGo/S220/Picture+001.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583133127536986893.post-3464654486564505850</id><published>2009-12-07T20:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-07T20:32:20.105-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A Very Happy and Contented Lil Sam</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My Oh My, Oh My,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So much has happened since I last posted, I almost don't know where to start.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But before I go any farther I must apologies for neglecting all of my friends who have guided me so tenderly , since I joined you family.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You took a confused lady under you wing and helped me find my way, you never ever judged me, always made me feel very comfortable and welcome.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From the bottom of my heart I thank each and every one of you.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I really must thank Hermione and Bonnie for their comments on my last post. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No Hemione at the time of my last posting my Sailorman Mr B and I had not yet been intimate. Each time I brought up the Spanking subject,in our conversation, my Sailorman(Mr B.) would change the subject.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mr B and I spent 15 glorious days together the end of June and beginning of July.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3x during our time together, my Sailorman got alittle carried away while we were making love and gave me several firm spanks,much to my delight. It was not til the 3rd time it happened that he actually believed me and realized I did indeed enjoy the spanks. He just was not listening to what I was saying to him. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our time together ended way to soon, I can home to Canada and back to work, and he back to the ships in Alaska.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well things went from good to FANTASTIC. In August Mr B and I were married at sunrise on the beach, here in Canada, and headed home to the US to pick up the RV and go camping for 2 wks. As we on our way home, Mr B said he had a surprise for me once we got to our campsite.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well I know what I was hoping for, but I could not read his expression this time,which is unusual.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well, me being me, I had to start teasing him, Sailorman said quite or I would be sorry, and Lil Sam being a very stubborn Lil Sam, did not listen nor see the look, LOL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The long and short of it, once we got camp set up, Much to my pure delight,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I very quickly found myself over his knee, receiving a bare bottom spanking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our lovemaking afterwards was out of this world,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well that was the first,and by no means the last. My sailor man sure does know how to take care of his Lil SAM, in all ways.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And now when I tell him how much I enjoy his spankings and the way he makes me feel, he actually hears me,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So needles to say, I am one happy newly wed. We still talk about everything. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Although there are times that I will send him an email that starts " Yes lover, It is one of those emails." then he knows that he has to think about what is there and either talk to me or email me. sometimes this is the easiest way for us to get a message across. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My Sailorman has been out on the tugs since end of Oct, hopefully home in time for Xmas, time will tell. It is hard not seeing him every day on the instant messenger, but at least we talk for a few mins on the phone daily.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well best I go, but I just had to share this part of my new life with all of you, as you have already shared so much of my life with me thus far.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thank you for being there for me, being my friend, for not judging me, but always guiding me. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your friend always&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lil Sam&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6583133127536986893-3464654486564505850?l=lilsams.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.google.com/profiles/2lilsam.41' title='A Very Happy and Contented Lil Sam'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lilsams.blogspot.com/feeds/3464654486564505850/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6583133127536986893&amp;postID=3464654486564505850' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6583133127536986893/posts/default/3464654486564505850'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6583133127536986893/posts/default/3464654486564505850'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lilsams.blogspot.com/2009/12/very-happy-and-contented-lil-sam.html' title='A Very Happy and Contented Lil Sam'/><author><name>Lil Sam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02886646695180802480</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4ySpZESvq_4/SY9dEalyGWI/AAAAAAAAABE/hgpk85qMaGo/S220/Picture+001.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583133127536986893.post-4697652298499534547</id><published>2009-05-09T16:34:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-09T16:56:34.726-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Help Please</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4ySpZESvq_4/SgYUdOw5VVI/AAAAAAAAAD0/YL-bM4j2EW8/s1600-h/BeggingCat.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333973301078873426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 158px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4ySpZESvq_4/SgYUdOw5VVI/AAAAAAAAAD0/YL-bM4j2EW8/s200/BeggingCat.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HELP, ME PLEASE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need the help and guidance from my wise friends, I am desperate.LOL&lt;br /&gt;My sailor man (Mr. B) is almost too good to be true.&lt;br /&gt;If my messaging does not sound right to him he is on the phone.&lt;br /&gt;He always seems to know when something is bothering me.&lt;br /&gt;I can not believe how much we have in common, right down to our warped sense of humour.&lt;br /&gt;He is the only one that has ever been able to make me blush, and take great pleasure in doing so.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;He always seems to know when I am,&lt;br /&gt;He’s such an adorable cheeky brat.&lt;br /&gt;We chat every night for at least 2 hr mostly via Instant messenger.&lt;br /&gt;He phones every other night, we chat every morning while I have my coffee before leaving for work.&lt;br /&gt;Last week I had 3 morning that I had to be up at 5:30, (which is 4:30 his time)&lt;br /&gt;The first morning, I was floored to see him online and buzzing me at 5 am his time, just so that we could chat and he could send me off to work with a hug and a kiss and a wish for a good day,&lt;br /&gt;My sailor man was up with me every morning, and every night at 9:30 his time he was saying" it is bedtime my little cup cake, I’ll see you in the morning."

As my darling sister is very nosey and very straight laced.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;I have to say that I have really missed all of you. I’ve missed being able&lt;br /&gt;to read all your stories, I've missed the  friendship that I feel each time I&lt;br /&gt;visiting one of your sites .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems that for now at least,  my blog is destined to be about&lt;br /&gt;the changes in my life.&lt;br /&gt;And how very fortunate I am to have such caring friends to share it with.&lt;br /&gt;To say that life has been interesting of late is an understatement.&lt;br /&gt;However I am enjoying the adventure, and I am very thankful that I have all of you to share the adventure with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4ySpZESvq_4/SeUb6LYe8GI/AAAAAAAAAC8/I9Zg25hzA60/s1600-h/Heavy+Sea+by+Steinliland+(2).jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324692820737323106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 173px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4ySpZESvq_4/SeUb6LYe8GI/AAAAAAAAAC8/I9Zg25hzA60/s200/Heavy+Sea+by+Steinliland+(2).jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all that has been going on, I have managed to have some&lt;br /&gt;time alone at the beach, a few times the weather has been stormy,&lt;br /&gt;much to my delight. Not only because I love a stormy sea, but also&lt;br /&gt;because it means I get to have the beach all to myself,with the exception of the sea gulls.&lt;br /&gt;As of late, I have been investigating my Irish back ground,&lt;br /&gt;and their involvement in Wicca.&lt;br /&gt;Have gone to a few Wicca meetings and have found them very interesting.&lt;br /&gt;Have met many new friends within that group people.&lt;br /&gt;I have learnt that without really realising it, I have used some the teaching of Wicca in my dealing with my seniors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since February 26th. I have been emailing with a gentleman , "Mr B" from Washington.&lt;br /&gt;He is a chief engineer on a freighter.&lt;br /&gt;His emails are fantastic. When Mr B talks about the place that&lt;br /&gt;he is at, one can almost see the things he is talking about.&lt;br /&gt;When he tells me about the stormy weather and the extremely rough&lt;br /&gt;sea, I can almost smell the salt water and feel the spray.&lt;br /&gt;The pictures he sends me, match the images in my mind.&lt;br /&gt;Mr B. has told me so much about his life and his family that&lt;br /&gt;I almost feel as though I would know his family if I were&lt;br /&gt;to suddenly meet them on the street.&lt;br /&gt;Well after about 3 weeks of steady e-mails and IM’S, I finally agreed to exchange phone Numbers.&lt;br /&gt;He has phoned every night since.&lt;br /&gt;Well Mr B said that he was coming to visit in May, as he also has some good friends in the next town over from me.&lt;br /&gt;Easter Sunday Mr B said he was coming to visit and take me out to lunch, Said he would be here on Monday.&lt;br /&gt;Easter Monday I get a phone call from Mr B, he was in  town and it was lunch time.&lt;br /&gt;We had lunch together and then spent a great afternoon together,walking the beach, and kite flying. It is amazing how much alike we are, and how much we have in common.&lt;br /&gt;We finishing the day of with a very long,relaxed and enjoyable supper,&lt;br /&gt;after which Mr B drove me home.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;A hug and a kiss on the cheek, he was headed back to the States,&lt;br /&gt;as he had to be aboard ship headed for Dutch harbour Alaska Wednesday&lt;br /&gt;morning for the next 6 weeks.&lt;br /&gt;  Mr B phoned me Tuesday morning (april 14) just before I left work, just to wish me a good day and to tell me he would be back in 6 wks time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that I will not hear from him until about Friday until the ship gets to where they are going.&lt;br /&gt; This will be the first time since Mr B started phoning that we will not chat at night.&lt;br /&gt;I did not realize until now just how much I looked forward to our nightly chats.&lt;br /&gt;Is it Friday Yet?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6583133127536986893-8669452896232114447?l=lilsams.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://lilsams.blogspot.com' title='Reaching Out'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lilsams.blogspot.com/feeds/8669452896232114447/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6583133127536986893&amp;postID=8669452896232114447' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6583133127536986893/posts/default/8669452896232114447'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6583133127536986893/posts/default/8669452896232114447'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lilsams.blogspot.com/2009/04/reaching-out.html' title='Reaching Out'/><author><name>Lil Sam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02886646695180802480</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4ySpZESvq_4/SY9dEalyGWI/AAAAAAAAABE/hgpk85qMaGo/S220/Picture+001.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4ySpZESvq_4/SeUcZfVwspI/AAAAAAAAADE/vMKPCrzN6bI/s72-c/wolf+and+Indian+chief.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583133127536986893.post-7180166388080841488</id><published>2009-03-03T20:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-03T20:36:44.275-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Thank You&lt;br /&gt;This will be a very short post this time, as I find myself at aloss for words.&lt;br /&gt;What a delightful surprise it was to receive the friendship award from Hermoine.&lt;br /&gt;And all I can think of to say is Thank You!&lt;br /&gt;The Rules to accepting this award:&lt;br /&gt;"Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text in the body of their award.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to nominate my friends at&lt;br /&gt;Secret life of Andrades Girl&lt;br /&gt;A New Beginning&lt;br /&gt;Spanking Good Time&lt;br /&gt;The Naughty Side of K&lt;br /&gt;My Bottom Smarts&lt;br /&gt;Dante’s Paradiso&lt;br /&gt;About Spanking&lt;br /&gt;Jflame’s Journey&lt;br /&gt;Heart and Soul&lt;br /&gt;Hugs to all&lt;br /&gt;Lil Sam&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6583133127536986893-7180166388080841488?l=lilsams.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lilsams.blogspot.com/feeds/7180166388080841488/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6583133127536986893&amp;postID=7180166388080841488' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6583133127536986893/posts/default/7180166388080841488'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6583133127536986893/posts/default/7180166388080841488'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lilsams.blogspot.com/2009/03/thank-you-this-will-be-very-short-post.html' title=''/><author><name>Lil Sam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02886646695180802480</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4ySpZESvq_4/SY9dEalyGWI/AAAAAAAAABE/hgpk85qMaGo/S220/Picture+001.jpg'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583133127536986893.post-8193656418408950996</id><published>2009-02-24T19:35:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-24T19:53:57.727-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Influence of True Friends</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;The Influence of True Friends&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have spent more time of late beside my beloved Ocean.&lt;br /&gt;She seemed as restless as I have been.&lt;br /&gt;But there is a difference between her restlessness and mine.&lt;br /&gt;For her restlessness has a purpose as her powerful waves rushing in to shore and back out to sea.&lt;br /&gt;Mine was born of just plain loneliness and being lost for awhile.&lt;br /&gt;Then I finally admitted, that yes I have been away from the ocean far to long. I desperately needed to sit quiet and hear the answers as they are whispered by the gentle breeze that is caused by the waves. And listen to my heart, for the heart does know.&lt;br /&gt;I thought of my last post, and of  the war that raged on for a short while, til my decision was made.&lt;br /&gt;I realised a sense of peace that filled my mind and soul once the decision was made. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I then was able to accept my worth and and realised that what I wanted for myself and for a future partner was not unrealistic.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The type of person I am was brought home to me tonight just before I got home from work.&lt;br /&gt;    "This morning I filled in for a co-work with a family whose husband suffers from brain injury and paralyses.&lt;br /&gt;Now I was just filling in for 2 hrs.&lt;br /&gt;The wife call my boss and asked that I be oriented so that I could take over the night position while she goes away in 2 wks time."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I truly feel humble and honoured. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So I spent alittle more time by the sea, and once again felt the familiar grounding of my feet, and the gentle calming of my soul.&lt;br /&gt;When I got home I reread my last post, my last angry email from KT, a grateful one from his wife.&lt;br /&gt;I read all the more than welcome comments from my wonderful friends.&lt;br /&gt;Yes, one day I hope to have a loving relationship that fulfills not only my needs but also those of my partner.&lt;br /&gt;A partner who will be the centre of my world and of whose world I will be the centre of.&lt;br /&gt;When that happens I will surly be sharing it with all of you, for you have all share so much with me already,for which I am truly grateful.&lt;br /&gt;I also re read this verse that was given to me over the weekend, by a wonderful client that is paralyzed from polio.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;  Just had to share it,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"The world in which you were born is just one model of reality.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE OTHER CULTURES ARE NOT FAILED ATTEMPTS AT BEING YOU&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;they are unique manifestations of the Human Spirit."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So Yes, the Angel may have won, (and the poor wee devil may still be pouting alittle, but she’ll get over it) but the Angel did win, and it is because of the wonderful influence and gentle guidance of good friends.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;God Bless all&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hugs &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lil Sam&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6583133127536986893-8193656418408950996?l=lilsams.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lilsams.blogspot.com/feeds/8193656418408950996/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6583133127536986893&amp;postID=8193656418408950996' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6583133127536986893/posts/default/8193656418408950996'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6583133127536986893/posts/default/8193656418408950996'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lilsams.blogspot.com/2009/02/influence-of-true-friends.html' title='The Influence of True Friends'/><author><name>Lil Sam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02886646695180802480</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4ySpZESvq_4/SY9dEalyGWI/AAAAAAAAABE/hgpk85qMaGo/S220/Picture+001.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583133127536986893.post-7145607234973642409</id><published>2009-02-21T08:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-21T09:49:15.076-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Angel Wins</title><content type='html'>If I knew how to do it,I would change my picture. I would change it so that the cheeky Lil devil was over the Angel's knee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been emailing with a friend for quite some time.&lt;br /&gt;KT's emails are so thrilling, and the spankings he wants to teach me  everything I want to experience. However we did disagree on the Humiliation thing, as that is something I am not into. I have been Humiliated enough over the years.Didn't like it then and I know I would not like it now.&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, we met a few times for coffee and the chemistry was definitely there. We have set up a few play date, but I always seemed to find a reason not to be able to attend.&lt;br /&gt;I have met KT"s wife, she is ill and longer able to be a part of the things they once shared, and she is okay with me being apart of KT's life.&lt;br /&gt;  Well last weekend I was very restless,very unsettled. So off I go to the Beach.&lt;br /&gt;As luck would have it No One was there, Just me, along stretch of isolated beach, the gulls, and glorious sea rushing into shore, and a slight wind.&lt;br /&gt;As I sat there on the rock, feeling the ocean spray and becoming one with my surrounding, all the issues that have been  going round and round in my head for so long all started to fall into place.&lt;br /&gt;I could even hear the angels laughing at me and saying "See we told you, you have been gone to long."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought of KT and what he was offering. Oh how I would love to say yes, and experience so many new things.&lt;br /&gt;But then the fight broke out on my shoulder between the Angel and my  LIL Devil.&lt;br /&gt;For awhile I really thought that LIL DEVIL would win,&lt;br /&gt;But, NO, I started really listening to both sides. Both had good points.&lt;br /&gt;But, when all is said and done, I have to be true to me. And stolen moments from time to time with some one who is not free is not for me.&lt;br /&gt;A discrete relationship is not what I want, nor need, I have found that those types of relationships are a dime a dozen. And definitely not for me.&lt;br /&gt;I thought of all the new friends I have made in the spanking community, of which I am still just a lurker.&lt;br /&gt;I thought of all of you, and your blogs, and the wonderful life you share with your partners.  And I realized that that is what I truly want.&lt;br /&gt;I thought of my Dear departed hubby, oh how I miss him. We had a good life together. I am sure that had I found this  wonderful group of people before he passed away, that we may have been able to bring part of it into our lives.&lt;br /&gt;What I had with him I want again with someone, but I also want more from my partner and I want to be able to give him more.&lt;br /&gt;   I realized that when I got home I would have to email KT and try to explain that our play date would never happen and explain why.&lt;br /&gt;So the Angel won and the Lil Devil lost out for now.&lt;br /&gt;           Oh how that wee Angel on my shoulder giggled as she did a jig and&lt;br /&gt;kicked my poor we Devil in the butt.&lt;br /&gt;I left the beach with a much lighter heart,and the spring was back in my step.&lt;br /&gt;Yes the angels were right, I have been away from my precious ocean far to long.&lt;br /&gt;For it has always been the strength of the ocean that has  brought me back down to earth and helped me get my feet firmly planted once more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   I'm sure I could hear her giggling all the way home.&lt;br /&gt;My wee Devil has been very quiet of late, but I know that she is plotting some sort of revenge.&lt;br /&gt;         &lt;strong&gt;I have to thank all of you my friends&lt;/strong&gt; as well. You have all helped me grow so much this past 4 months. You have all helped me come out of my shell.

All I have done this month is work and shovel snow. Haven't even had much time for being on the computer. So tonight I have done alittle catching up, with lots more to do.&lt;br /&gt;I was in a very cranky mood tonight when I got home, but reading some of my new friends blogs put me in alittle better mood.&lt;br /&gt;But to be honest, I am very jealous of all the lucky people who have someone to share life with, and are enjoying being spanked.&lt;br /&gt;That was my wish for my birthday but guess that will not be happening.&lt;br /&gt;Oh well, such is life. I will make one goal how ever, and that will be one year as a non smoker. I can not believe how easy it was for me to quit. I have tried many times before and only made 4-5 months with lots of pain. This time I seemed to have just breezed through it, and without any cravings.

I want out. I am starting to feel like Garfield hanging from the screen door and looking out.&lt;br /&gt;As a result of being grounded, I have had way to much time to visit my favorite websites,&lt;br /&gt;Taken in Hand, My Bottom Smarts, Journey to the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Darkside&lt;/span&gt;, and Spanking Pixie.&lt;br /&gt;The more I check out these sites, the more I realize just how much I have missed out on,and how good it feels to know that I am not weird or have a sick mind.&lt;br /&gt;Last night I read Bonnie's topic of"" What I want for Christmas. "&lt;br /&gt;And of coarse it put my mind into over drive.&lt;br /&gt;I can't believe I actually had the nerve this morning to leave my comment along with the other comments.&lt;br /&gt;These websites make me realize just how much of a sheltered life style I have lived, and how much I have missed out on.&lt;br /&gt;To be completely honest, I have to say that a Taken in Hand life style is closer to what I need.&lt;br /&gt;I am a very &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;physical&lt;/span&gt; person. I prefer / need physical work as a posed to say desk work.&lt;br /&gt;I use to enjoy a good wrestling match with my sweetie.&lt;br /&gt;So I know that I would never willing go across my ,partners knee for a good spanking,&lt;br /&gt;especially when it is really needed because I am in a pissed off mood and looking for a fight.&lt;br /&gt;My partner would have to be willing and able to Take me in Hand and take me over his knee or what ever by force, with me kicking and fighting all the way.&lt;br /&gt;This would sure to be &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;alot&lt;/span&gt; better solution to problem,as &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;apposed&lt;/span&gt; to the silence that was usually the norm whenever I got into a snit .&lt;br /&gt;I am sure that a good spanking would have righted the problem in no time &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;atal&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;However, by the same token, if my partner was just in the mood, or felt the need to be giving me a spanking, he could very easily get me to go willingly over his knee,&lt;br /&gt;IF&lt;br /&gt;He were to stoke,rub and tease my butt. It would not take much for him to have me asking to be spanked.&lt;br /&gt;My darling &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;DL&lt;/span&gt; use to tease me that way,but he would never spank me, I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Finally&lt;/span&gt; gave up trying to get him to give me the spanking I craved.&lt;br /&gt;Well &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;that's&lt;/span&gt; enough nattering for now, I want to post this and then check out "spanking pixie's" site &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;alittle&lt;/span&gt; more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr unselectable="on" hb_tag="1"&gt;&lt;td style="FONT-SIZE: 1pt" height="1" unselectable="on"&gt;&lt;div id="hotbar_promo"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6583133127536986893-3513693985533734702?l=lilsams.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lilsams.blogspot.com/feeds/3513693985533734702/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6583133127536986893&amp;postID=3513693985533734702' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6583133127536986893/posts/default/3513693985533734702'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6583133127536986893/posts/default/3513693985533734702'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lilsams.blogspot.com/2008/12/december-21-2008-it-has-been-snowing.html' title=''/><author><name>Lil Sam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02886646695180802480</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4ySpZESvq_4/SY9dEalyGWI/AAAAAAAAABE/hgpk85qMaGo/S220/Picture+001.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583133127536986893.post-4390160667361082191</id><published>2008-12-19T23:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-19T23:32:29.692-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A little more about Lil Sam</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Who lil Sam is: and some of what she likes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I&lt;strong&gt; am a single female, 57 yrs old, who needs a spanking.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am a Nurse Aid and spend alot of time away from home as I care for people in thier own homes. Doing shifts usually of 4 days and nights in and 4 out. However, I sometime do longer shifts.&lt;br /&gt;I like to walk on the beach in all types of weather, love stormy seas, walks through the forest.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I Love trucks of all sorts, especially old trucks 1940's and up or older, I like big trucks, 18 wheelers.&lt;br /&gt;Really Love motorcycles, have just gotten my motorcycle learners license.&lt;br /&gt;Looking to buy a motorcycle in the New Year.&lt;br /&gt;I prefer listening to music rather than watching TV.&lt;br /&gt;My favorite music is country, however I do enjoy a wide verity of music, depending on my mood and the setting.&lt;br /&gt;I have only been in vanilla relationships, (3 to be exact).&lt;br /&gt;First one was 21 yrs with a very abusive husband.&lt;br /&gt;2nd relationship was an affair I had with M (that lasted 4 yrs) near then end of my marriage and for a few years after my husband and I split up.&lt;br /&gt;M had been a good friend for many years, one that I always had to work at keeping at arms length, I was never to sure just what he would do if I truly relaxed around him when we were alone.&lt;br /&gt;Well I found out shortly after my husband and I split.&lt;br /&gt;M came to visit and I decided to relax and see where things went.&lt;br /&gt;Well,before I knew what was happening M had me on the table minus my panties and giving me the only oral sex I had ever had.&lt;br /&gt;M took me to a heights that I never knew existed.&lt;br /&gt;M really enjoyed giving oral sex and never seemed to get enough.&lt;br /&gt;He did not really enjoy receiving oral sex.&lt;br /&gt;M was not into spankings either, he thought the idea was weird and sick,subject was never brought up again.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our affair ended when DL and his wife split up,(1995) which was 6 yrs after my separation.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;There was no way that I would ever cheat on DL&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DL, had been my best friend for 22 yrs and was soon to become my partner and soul mate.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We were best friends,soulmates and partners for the next 12 yrs.&lt;br /&gt;I soon  realize that spankings of any sort were out of the question with DL as well.&lt;br /&gt;DL said that he had never hit a woman and was not about to start now. Besides the idea of it was just too weird for him. All things aside DL was still a great lover, just the same.&lt;br /&gt;My sweet one passed away in 2006 and for the next year and a half I did nothing but work.&lt;br /&gt;Then one day I over heard a young girl telling her friend about the spanking she had received from her boyfriend the night before. And how much fun it was.&lt;br /&gt;Well that conversation awoke longings that I thought I had buried long ago. Guess not buried deep enough.&lt;br /&gt;When I finally got home again a week later,it was onto the Internet for me.&lt;br /&gt;BOY, did I ever get my eyes opened. I found sites that I never knew existed.&lt;br /&gt;I read about people enjoying things that I thought were just in my sick, warped little mind.&lt;br /&gt;I visited such interesting sites as "Taken in Hand", " Bonnie's site&gt; My Bottom Smarts", " The Journey to the Dark Side" to name but a few.&lt;br /&gt;I wish that I could &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;IM&lt;/span&gt; with one or two of the ladies from some of these sites. I have so many questions.&lt;br /&gt;How wonderful it is to realize that I am not as weird as I thought I was, that there are ladies out there that truly want to be spanked and truly enjoy spankings, and many other thing as well.&lt;br /&gt;For the past 5 - 6 months thoughts of being spanked never seem to be far from my mind.&lt;br /&gt;The very thought of being taken over the knee, having my skirt raised and panties lowered, and knowing that a spanking is *coming next, and that there is nothing I can do about it really turns me on.&lt;br /&gt;After visiting some of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;afore&lt;/span&gt; mentioned sites I have realized that my fantasies are not so weird or sick after all.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;I would also like to be taken in hand by another woman.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;I have &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;fantasized&lt;/span&gt; for years about what it would be like to be completely controlled by another woman, to be forced over her knee or what ever, my skirt raised, panties lowered and to be soundly spanked by her. To have her remove my clothing, to feel her hands and mouth &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;posse &lt;/span&gt;my body. To have to show her my gratitude, under the treat of another spanking if I don't.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Well time for bed, alone again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6583133127536986893-4390160667361082191?l=lilsams.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lilsams.blogspot.com/feeds/4390160667361082191/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6583133127536986893&amp;postID=4390160667361082191' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6583133127536986893/posts/default/4390160667361082191'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6583133127536986893/posts/default/4390160667361082191'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lilsams.blogspot.com/2008/12/little-more-about-lil-sam.html' title='A little more about Lil Sam'/><author><name>Lil Sam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02886646695180802480</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4ySpZESvq_4/SY9dEalyGWI/AAAAAAAAABE/hgpk85qMaGo/S220/Picture+001.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry></feed>
