For no particular reason. Just because.

Because it’s spring.

Because I like hugs. Because I think I’m not the only one.

And because it’s spring. Don’t forget that part.

HUG!!!

Keep those hugs to yourself, you West-Coast weirdo. You’d better go read [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=246998) now.

Gotta love wanton huggers…more huggers less muggers. I’m in for the group hug Sinsitive, and spring is as good an excuse as any. \<does the huggy thing being sure to press her breasts firmly into the chest of the repressed patter on the backer\> Loosen up baby!

_Stops by to give out more hugs to everyone_

Especially to **Ginger** and **Dave** , on their upcoming family addition.

_makes sure to give a little pinch on **vunderbob** ’s tush_

I do that too, can’t help it really; my bosum tends to reach everywhere before I do, **glass**. I just didn’t think I needed to say that, **RNATB**. 😉 And **SHAKES** , those are the only kind of hugs I know how to give. Hence the moniker. 😃

Hi, I haven’t been here in ages, I just came back because of the e-mail about subscribing. Don’t know how often I will be back, but I’ll take a hug and give some out. 😃
