C’mon, the world needs more hugs. Pick a doper, any doper. For your benefit or for theirs. For any reason or for no reason. Spread some love. {{{{purplebear}}}} - because hugging someone name purplebear just has to give you a warm fuzzy feeling 😃 {{{{ssskuggiii}}}} - because she was willing to jump in my lap naked 🙂 {{{{hypergirl}}}} - something tells me this would be very fun 😉 ---

{{{{tymp, Mr. Cynical and NothingMan}}}} - not only a big hug, but overtly rubbing my breasts against your respective chests. {{{{Jack Batty and Crunchy Frog}}}} get a hug for making me LMAO every day.

I’m sorry I can’t go into the situation in question, except in a very vague sense and WITHOUT naming names. I don’t think it’s fair or appropriate to the other people involved, especially since I haven’t made up my mind yet what I intend to do. (In case any of the involved parties are reading this, I’ve been away from e-mail all day and only recently saw your responses. I need some time to think about what I’ve read.) I very much want to believe what I’ve been told, but there’s a certain skepticism that goes with being told that you’re really important to someone, even one of their very favorite people, and yet… I do not wish to be negative, so instead I’ll focus upon you. Recently, NO ONE on the board has been as kind to me, as considerate to me, as you have. You’re taking precious vacation time to give my your support and loyalty! A hug is woefully and pathetically insufficient. Instead, a Shakespeare quote: “Being your slave, what should I do but tend Upon the hours and times of your desire? I have no precious time at all to spend, Nor services to do, till you require.” –Sonnet 57 Thank you, dear heart. ---
