Internet hugs really help?
I don’t know, is this one of those creepy internet hugs in order to cop a virtual feel?
I am not sure of Rand Rover’s intent in starting this thread, but I must insist that we take him at his word that he is having a hard time with something. And so, this comment is out of line. Please do not do it again.

I strongly suspect it’s a reference to his comments in this thread.
Not that, y’know, he shouldn’t get a hug if he wants one. The man clearly hasn’t had enough hugs in his life before now.
After the last time when I had to cancel all my cards? No way.
Here ya go, buddy!

Huggles!
I’m very sorry that you were punched. Maybe next time you won’t be hatin’ on people’s mad hot chix getting skills.

I mean, I certainly agree that words on the Internet can help - sometimes they are just saner and sometimes just crazier than you. However, if a hug will help, I am not stingy on hugs. Here’s one.
happy to hug, especially since I need one too.
No.
Meanie.
She’s no meanie, she’s a miner. Or something. Possibly she’s just coated in a viscous petrochemical.
So hot.
You wouldn’t want one of mine (even if I weren’t currently loaded with evil germs). Manly fist-bump do instead? 
If it’s possible to get a copped feel, I’m offering boobies (nice ones) and a hug to Rand Rover.
When I want a hug from the husband, I jokingly stand in front of him and announce “I present myself for LOVE!!” and he knows to give me a hug. I have him well trained.
HUGGS to ya, Rand.

from another of those northern lefties. Buck up, man. There’re good people out there too; it’s not all a howling wasteland.
I think that response is hard-wired. So to speak.
I let cartoon cactuses do all my internet hugging because I’m afraid of catching someone’s internet cooties.
I’m with you. It’s very unlikely that this isn’t a whoosh.
I don’t hug strangers on the intarwebs, but I can offer a fine assortment of homemade baked goods and/or lollipops. I have many many lollipops and you can have all you’d like.
I don’t do man-hugs, but I will give you a friendly punch on the shoulder. Of course, if this is just a way to make fun of us all, then the punch will be a <little> harder.
