hey craig, yes at this point I understand you , my dad beat me also with a belt, but he just did not know how to handle a situation. My friends are asking me why I am not angry about my dad, but it is not his fault, this were just habits from his dad and grand dad , I would also not change this situation, ..but I would not do it to my child, I think communication is the key. But it wasnt like that in the soviet union. ..Chicken slight I remember that also pretty well, they are also walking without their head after that :O ... I like how you live in the here and now, interesting fews on colors too,
