Q&A-4
Lights on or off when your making love? No kink.
At night they are off more than on, but that’s not a conscious choice to turn them off, we’re just usually in bed and they’re already off. Master is more randy in the morning/early afternoon anyway so it’s generally still light outside.
1: If you could slap one and only one person (not a relative) upside the head and change them, who would it be?
Does my ex count as a relative? I’d like to do more than slap him though.
Oh! Speaking of him – listen to this shit.
So he calls Jes up and has the nerve- THE NERVE- to say to her “That boy who knocked you up better take care of his responsibility with you or I’m gonna kick his ass.”
All I could do was sputter. Srsly. I’m still sputtering. How does someone like him even SAY something like that and NOT have a fucking clue?? Just.. wow. Sputter.
But if the ex still counts as a relative, then I think I’d smack Michael Jackson upside the head. For real. Wtf is he *doing*??
2: If you could be any one person from fiction, who would it be?
Beauty? lol
3: Would you like to be branded? If so, how–red hot poker type or red hot stylus type?
I would not LIKE to be, I just hear that I’m going to be.
I don’t know which I’d prefer. The poker would be faster but hurt more probably. The stylus would be slower but hurt less.
It’s a no-win situation either way. Boo.
4: What’s your favorite non-erotic game (board, computer, xbox, whatever)?
Board games- I love to play Pictionary but no one will ever play with me. I kick ASS at Tribond. We used to play MadGab a lot but we haven’t played it in a while.
I never play video games. Though if I ever come across a super nintendo and the Tetris game we had when the kids were little, I’m buying it.
Computer – I play Freecell and Minesweeper.
5: Why didn’t you ever have children with (by?) Scott?
I had my tubes tied the day I gave birth to Brandon. 3 kids in less than 4 years and I think the doctor was happy to do it. He was tired of seeing me. 
A few years ago Master and I kicked around the idea of trying to reverse the tubal. We checked into the cost of the procedure and the chances of it working, but the more he thought about it, the less he wanted to do it.
If it were up to me, I’d have about 5 mini-masters running around already. But his final decision was that there was a reason why he hadn’t had kids before me- He’s just not interested in the whole baby process.
Sometimes I wish he’d have decided differently, but wish in one hand and shit in the other, yanno?
6: How do you keep up with everything on fetlife? I belong to just three groups and am already falling behind/lost track of threads.
Well. I don’t, really. I use that handy “groups following” option to keep track of what I commented on. Here lately I’ve had a lot of extra time to waste over there. With Master gone all day and the kids in school and the weather being shit, there isn’t a whole lot else to do.
But I don’t usually read the new threads unless someone I’m following comments there and their comment sounds interesting. Otherwise, they’re mostly repeated questions anyway.
7: At the end of “The Time Machine” it was noted that the hero took just three books with him back to the future. What three bookis do you think they were or should have been? If you haven’t read it, instead tell us what three books you’d take back to the dawn of civilzation.
I have not read it, so… um.. fuck, Dave! LOL. This is a hard question.
I don’t know. Honestly. All I can think of is taking back the whole Stephanie Plum series and ruining humanity before it even started..lol
8: Do you watch Heroes? if so, what do you think of the current story line?
I do not watch that. What is the current story line? Should I watch it?
9: Of all the sex acts you’ve never done, what one do you most wish you would be able to do?
Anal fisting. I think if I could manage that, then anal sex would be a breeze instead of the pain-filled angsty process it can be now.
(Oh. Hehe! After an anal fisting, I probably would only be “breezing” down there. *snicker*)
10: What was the thing your kids could do (when they were little ones) that would guarentee them getting out of trouble?
Look remorseful. God, I couldn’t stand to be mad at them if they gave me the puppy-dog eyes or acted sorry.
Not that I was a great disciplinarian anyway, but it sure was a lot easier to be strict when they were being butts. Give me a little chin tremble and I was all “awwww! Poor baby. Mommy’s sorry.”
Pfft. They had me so wrapped. They still do.
11: Have you or Scott ever read any of my stories in literotica? If so, what did you think (honest opinions please–as if you could give any others)?
I have. I don’t know if Master has (I dont think so). They were good as far as literotica goes. You know I’m not an uber-fan of literotica so I’m a harsh critic. But I seem to remember that it flowed well and it sounded believable (which is what I hate most about literotica), so yeah, good job. 
12: What’s the longest you’ve gone without sex of any kind?
Including masturbation? Gosh.. a week? Maybe.
13: After chocolate, what’s your favorite food?
Chicken fetuccini alfredo with broccoli and tomatoes. MMmmmmMMMMmmmm!
Are you embarrassed by anything that turns you on?
Yes I am.
if so, what?
Well I can’t tell you! Its embarrassing!
But I did promise to answer anything…
I am (still) embarrassed by being turned on from being humiliated and degraded. And to be honest, the longer Master and I are together and the more we connect on a vanilla level and work together as parents and partners – the more embarrassed I get.
It can take me days to work back up to being able to look him in the eye and talk to him about every day things. I very much wish to hide.
Do you actually use the laundry soap that you had in a previous post?
Yes! The only time that I have bought store laundry soap since last summer was the week we moved here. I was out of my homemade stuff and hadn’t unpacked the supplies to make new.
I can’t even figure out how much I’ve saved. I’m still on that first box of Borax and I just used the last of that first box of washing powder – and that’s ALL I have spent on laundry soap for what? 9 months or so? Less than $10 in 9 months and I have 3 teenagers. That’s HUGE!
So, my problem right now is finding that washing powder up here. It’s not in any of the stores I’ve been in so far. But if I have to, I’ll order it off the internet. No way am I going back to buying laundry detergent!
(Anyone have recipes for dishwasher soap? 
)
Can we ask another question if we think of it later?
Why yes you can! Email (kaya at underhishand.com) or ask in the comments.

kaya — For dishwasher soap you can use the same borax and washing soda. Equal parts.
Washing soda is sodium carbonate. (Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate) It’s also used to clean swimming pools so it’s in the pool cleaning area of a mega mart too. I’ve not investigated if it’s a harsher mix or not, but I bet you could find out.
Oh, and if you want spot free rinse? You learned about it on my blog. White vinegar, yup.
Just put it in the rinse compartment.
white vinegar is wonderful. Great for cleaning windows too. wipe dry with newspaper. something about it makes it streak free. Old tip.
ta-da! http://www.vinegartips.com/ – Luna, you might like this one too.

I clean my entire house, including my bathroom, and my stinky ferret cage, with vinegar. I use it in the carpet steamer, I use it for dusting, cleaning the kitchen, scrubbing cat boxes…
It’s almost as strong a cleaner as bleach, without being toxic and without stinking to high heaven (IMO). The smell it does have disapates quickly. Vinegar = wondercleaner. And CHEAP!
What percentage is US white vinegar? See, in Sweden white vinegar is called “ättika” and is sold in two strengths: 12% and 24%. The latter stinks to high hells, but the former’s all right.
I do a lot of cleaning with vinegar, and occasionally with bleach. I rarely ever buy store cleaners.
I don’t do the vinegar/newspaper thing though. Fact is, we hardly ever have newspaper. I do buy windex, but then I use a reusable micrfiber cloth so no paper towel waste at least. I wonder if the vinegar would work with the microfiber cloth?
Two things you can’t use with microfiber: fabric softner and bleach. Everything else is all right, as far as I know. Vinegar certainly is.
yep vinegar is definitely okay with microfibre clothes. bloomin good thing too – guess what i use. LOL.
the vinegar/stardrops/microfibre cloths combo is absolutely fantastic for getting tiles clean and shiny and streak free, btw. if you ever have to seriously impress someone and you have tiles in your house, that’d be the way. spray with vinegar/stardrops, wipe/scrub clean with a wet microfibre towel, then rub with a DRY microfibre towel. it looks *wonderful*.
http://www.thorntonross.com/products/branded-household.html is the company that makes them. I don’t mix vinegar with anything else, cos it can be dodgy and produce nasty fumes, but this i know is safe – been using it for years.
xx
I have never seen Stardrops here, unless it’s a different name. What is it exactly?
its a sort of all round multi-purpose cleaner that’s been around for years but is now finding favour again, with those who are trying to clean more simply, and not use all the branded products. I’ve seen a reference to “Barkeeper’s Friend” being better, and i know that’s available in the USA, but i don’t know about mixing it with vinegar. I’ve tried to see if stardrops is available in the USA but it doesn’t look like it is. Sorry! http://www.thorntonross.com/household/product_images/stardrops.jpg is a pic of it, and there’s a very very long thread here singing its praises http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=172073 on a sort of UK based money saving forum… hope that helps.
I might give that a shot and see how well it works. Thanks!
Kaya,
Heroes is fantastic. I suppose you know it’s about people who gain super powers and how they deal with them and the world changing events around them. The current story line has Nathan Petrelli (who can fly) convincing the government that people with pwers are an inherent danger to society and need to be rounded up and locked up. His brother Peter, who can copy others powers, is fighting him and the government. Claire’s (who can heal anything) father (who is a normal) is part of the group rounding people up, but is really working for Nathan and Peter’s mom (who cann see future events) to try sabotage the round ups and keep the assinine soldier who’s in charge from killing them all.
And I haven’t even gotten into Syler (who steals powers by slicing people’s heads open), Hiro (who used to be able to control time and space) and numerous others. If you ever liked comic books, you’d love Heroes.
Thank you for the compliments on my writing. I’m always interested in what real BSM people think of them since they were all written as someone who never had done anything remotely D/s.
Dave
I actually had zero idea what that show was about. I’ve never even heard of it. But it doesn’t sound like it’s up my alley. Too sci-fi for me.
Kaya,
That’s okay. I bet Bman wold love it though, given his incredible interest in things sci-fi and fantasy.
Dave
I’ve looked *EVERYWHERE* for washing soda and I can’t find it. Any tips?
Where do you live? Here in Sweden, I can only find it at painter’s stores, when asking for sodium carbonate (natriumkarbonat in Swedish). And be careful not to get sodium *BI*carbonate, which is baking soda.
I live in New York, in America. I can’t find it anywhere – all we have around here are big stores. It isn’t really “pool” country unfortunately, and Walmart/Kmart/Target/Home Depot/Lowe’s doesn’t have it…
I don’t know if this will help you, but when we lived in Wisconsin, I could usually find it at smaller grocery stores in the laundry aisle. I never found it at the bigger chains.
I’ve been looking online (because I haven’t found it here yet) and here’s what I’ve found:
http://needsandwantsboutique.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=3482654
“You can get soda ash in bulk (the same chemical as washing soda) at a ceramics/pottery supplier. It is used in some types of glazes.”
Order it online here: http://greatcleaners.com/ah-soda-booster.html
Or call 1-800-524-1328, they waived all shipping charges and only charged $3.99 per box. They can waive shipping charges if you order 2 boxes or more.
Or call that same number and have the UPC code 33200-03020. The service will ask for your zip code and then tell you places in your area that sell the item.
Ask wal-mart (or wherever you go) to order some. If they carry the Arm&Hammer laundry soap, they usually can and you’ll save any shipping charges.
Ebay.
Somehow, we’ll get this shit!
http://www.bizrate.com/smallstorage_cleaningsupplies/products__keyword–arm+hammer+washing+soda.html, too!
It’s also used to clean pools, so you can find it with pool cleaning supplies. Hardware stores also have it, as SixThreeFive said. Arm and Hammer makes a version, but I’ve only found it at one grocery store (a small chain). The larger discount stores won’t typically carry it.
Kaya, re; your ex’s stupid statement. GAH! I sympathize; my ex says ridiculous things to my kids too. He has hurt them so many times just by saying something thoughtless! WHY!? And again, GAH!
I have a soft spot for Beauty too; her adventures allowed me to finally learn how to have an honest-to-god real bona-fide orgasm at ripe old age of 38. Even though she has things done to her I’d never really want done to me; still. Hawwwwt.
Branded; for some reason, this fascinates me, much more so than getting a tattoo. It seems much more humiliating to me. Good luck with that!
Fetlife; through reading your stories about the site, I went back and looked up my join-up name and I’ve been browsing. I have to change my name, though, it’s a stupid one I made up when I first signed up a year or so ago when I didn’t think I’d ever participate.
Heroes, no offense, Dave, I’m glad you love it, but although I enjoyed the first season, I couldn’t bear to watch it after that. It got waaaay too fantastic to be remotely believable for me. I like sci-fi or fantasy but it has to make some sense and Heroes and similarly Lost just went off the rails too far for me to enjoy them. If I’m rolling my eyes at the plot-holes more than letting myself “fall” into the story, something is not working. Just my op!
Humiliation, ye-e-ah. That’s me too. *raises hand* It’s a vicious cycle; I find certain things hawt but I wish I didn’t but the fact I’m embarrassed about it makes it hotter, repeat repeat repeat. Heh.
I go through phases with Fetlife. It’s much more enjoyable for me now that I’ve realized that the people there aren’t looking for advice or for ways to “fix” anything. They are there to be validated and patted on the head, or they are there to joke with friends.
I joke with friends and let the rest of them mollycoddle each other to death. Way less frustration that way!
The ex thing made my head splode. What a fuckerhead. I hate ex-husbands.
Hahaha fuckerhead, im gonna use that one!
I know, right?
i have used the recipe for dishwasher detergent from this website, which by the way is a great one for homemade cleaning recipes.
http://cleaningrecipes.blogspot.com/2007/07/homemade-dishwasher-detergent.html
i have also been using the recipe you gave for laundry detergent and love it! so thank you
my question is since you do so much cooking, do you grow any of your own spices? i am thinking of growing them in little flower pots inside so i just wondered.
Thanks for the link!
(I’ll answer your question in the next post.
)
Is there any sex act that you really *hate, hate, hate* to do that Scott loves? Is there anything sex-wise that you have NOT done (besides the ones that are illegal) cause i think you have done just about all the really good ones…..(but i am sure that there is something you haven’t done).
JOjo, Kaya… I’d like to know why B-man is called B-man LOL… (Well, suppose everybody knows it except me… I’m reletavely new here,,, just have read about half year…)
Just this curiosity… Thanks…
