Okay, massive hugs for DRY first, because he’s my favorite.
Then for Le Sang, because he keeps me functioning.
And some big fuzzy hugs for 'punha.
A just in from the cold MI weather but happy to see you hug for mrblue92.
A warm ‘here’s your tea, sweetie’ hug for Scotti (and I handed yours to my mom, sweets, she says hi)
And a stalking hug for dpr. (Is there such a thing? Maybe it starts out slow and slinky?)
Hugs from me and Josefina for Guin.
I’ll just wave at Jester, he’s probably still in his car, and that’s just scary.
A respectful hug for the ever classy Zenster.
Hugs for all the mods and admins who keep this place running smoothly without squashing the unique individuals who reside here.

i’m still a little newbie, so i don’t have many people to give hugs to… but this is my list…
{{{{Fairy Princess Kitty}}}}
i don’t think i always tell you how very important you are to me and how grateful i am that you are my best friend and that you can put up with ME sometimes. Life will always get better!
{{{{Disembodied Head}}}}
I can’t believe you didn’t tell me who you were!!! Just leave me to be a naive little girl why don’t you… sniff sniff now that THAT emotional bit is over with…
My hug for you, Michi, was due to you coming online sometimes, expressing how lonely you are, and your expectation of being a crazy old cat lady.
Well, sometimes I feel lonely too, in a very similar way, and also have a feeling I’ll end up being a crabby old guy who doesn’t give kids their ball back when they’re kicked into my yard.
So as one eccentric to another who I know needs a hug (just as much as I do) I continue this long lingering cybersnuggle: {{{{{Cyndar}}}}}
{{{Purplebear}}} becuase she is so…Purplebear. hey baby, I’ll flirt with you anytime. And for using my quote in her sig. EMail me anytime- I may not have actually slain any of your dragons, but I sure gaveit a try.
{{{Scotti}}}- whom I have been flirting with, and is the first person to mention my name (in a nice way) in her sig.
“O, let me clip ye
In arms as sound as when I woo’d”
–Corliolanus, Act 1, Scene vi
Is it any wonder that you two are my two favorite people here? Indeed, if I had only two friends on the SDMB, I would consider myself blessed for making the acquaintance of both of you.
And if I should ever merit finding a signficant other, I can only wish that she exhibit half of the qualities which I know to be in both of you: Two people who I respect and adore so.
Thank you both for being my friends. My meager words do neither of you justice.
What a lovely idea for a thread. I echo the sentiments of Zenster a day late in saying that I am thankful for the caring and friendship, or, as he put, the sense of community shown here at the boards. Bob (imthjckaz) and I both have found new friends on the board and in person, and we appreciate the humor and intelligence that can be found here.
Thanks, all you ////SDMB\\ members, and thanks to Cecil and the Chicago Reader.
As much as I abhore these kinds of threads, since I’ve been mentioned here (I was doing a little ego-driven search of myself to see who taking about me and why) I have to return a warm and friendly, well, I’ll still cop a little feel, to Audrey. How do you, …oh, …I see, {{Audrey}}.
You know why, my friend.
I knew I’d forget some people. I’m sorry. and, to anyone else who I’m forgetting to name, or who just wants a hug from one of the resident hugaholics.
