I’m feeling apprehensive and insecure. Since it may be absolutely nothing I’m going to hug people rather than stress myself out. A sweet happy hug for Scotti, the sweet darling soul she is. A giant laughing bear hug for silent\_rob, since he always makes me laugh so hard with his ICQ slapstick. A deep smiley hug for Ad Noctum, who always has something off the wall and spritely to talk about. A quick hug for goboy, who is continualy impressing me with his taste and class. (On his word alone I’m going to go see Moulin Rouge. I wasn’t before. He liked it. I have to go check it out. Social pressure works, folks) A tight squeeze for mrblue92, crazed and silly weirdo that he is. A monster hug for Le Sang, I miss you! A hug for dantheman for his adorable little e-mails recently. Thanks. A hug for Esprix, for being always himself regardless of the critisism of smaller minded people. That takes guts and spirit, and I’m very glad to have people like him around. A hug for Euty and UncleBeer and Coldie and all the mods, for keeping this madhouse sane and wonderful. A hug for Persephone and xploder, my fellow Flint dopers. And hugs for non posters as well, my sister the teen (you’ll grow out of it eventually and you’re still cool), one for my sister the drama queen, my parents, and Mike. There. I feel a little better. Anyone you think needs a hug? ---

A giant polar bear hug to you, **Medea’s Child**. And another, just to help you on your way to hopefully feeling much better. ---

A huge economy size ScottiHug for you, my dearest. **((((((((((Kathryn))))))))))** I hope you are always, always aware how precious you are to me. And MEGA hugs to **Falcon.** Well, I could go on all day with hugs for everyone I love here, but I think you all know who you are, and I hope I make you all aware every day how much I love you. I am the luckiest girl in the world when it comes to friends. ---

Hugs to Medea’s Child because she is always there to listen, and she shares a love for music with me Hugs to ScottiCher because she is like a mom to all of us 😉 Hugs to SpiderWoman of being so understanding and smart and Medea’s Child said it best "A hug for Euty and UncleBeer and Coldie and all the mods, for keeping this madhouse sane and wonderful.

Crazed? Oddly enough I just got done watching _One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest_… “You’d have to be a crazy person to want to be in a nut-house like this!” Big, warm, tight, lovely hugs to you, **Medea’s Child**. Believe me, you’ve got nothing to be apprehensive or insecure about. Me, on the other hand… 😉 ---

Okay, ScottiHugs for Adam and mrblue… Just because I feel like it. And because I think they are wonderful, marvelous LOVING men. And I am very lucky to have you both in my life. ---

Did I just type “Me” instead of “I”? I must be losing it. Maybe I am crazed… Warmest hugs to you too, **Scotti**. If it were a crime for a person to be too kind, then you would be in for multiple life sentences! I should also hug **TruePisces** for being the wonderful person she is… ---

Yes, hugs to **True Pisces** as well. She is wonderful. And…hugs GALORE to **Shayna** and **Grace!** No one EVER had better friends. I bless the day I found this board. Not just for them, but for all of you. Although the two of them are pretty much perfect, if you ask me. ---

Giant Hugs right back to you, **Scotti**! Being your friend is _easy_ because you’re so kind, thoughtful and giving. I’m blessed to know you and to have you as a friend as well. ---

_studiously avoiding replying directly to the original poster_ [sub]but only at her request[/sub] Anyway, I’ll offer hugs to my **loyal** friends: **GolfWidow, Guinastasia, Mauvaise, Michi, screech-owl** and **TroubleAgain**. Rhonda, Paula and Tanja (they know who they are), have been helpful and supportive to me with respect to a very difficult personal situation. Bless you three in particular! I would also be remiss not to name **Falcon** , who needs _AND_ deserves the same, and **Poysyn** who is soon to be (or already is?) married. Thank you all for your kindnesses to me. I hope to requite you with the same, and with interest on top of that! 🙂 ---

awwwww. Well, being the type of person I am, let’s see, cyber hugs (and a little grope) to **Fenris, UncleBeer, SuaSponte** , hugs alone (sorry, no grope) to **Magdalene, Persephone, screechowl, SpiderWoman, Jodi, Kinsey, zev, kimstu, Scylla, Milo, Spiritus Mundi, and all my other GD pals**. And, of course, if I’ve failed to mention you by name, it’s only because I wish to keep our close relationship between us 😉 I will deliver in person at the [Michigan Dopapalooza](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=62734)[sup]tm[/sup] 😃 ---

Hugs to all my favorite Dopers! You know, the kind of hugs that last a little too long, are a little too tight, and make you feel uncomfortable. ---

Thanks. Now I feel all warm & huggy inside! 😃 Extra-super-big-ol’-huggedy-hugs to **Euty, Scotti, evilbeth, and dantheman** for helping me through a very turbulent time. Warm fuzzy hugs to **Medea & wring,** for hugging me first. And a HUGE monster group hug to everyone else–without you, I’d be criminally insane, instead of just an ordinary lunatic. 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pass-the-hug/68127.md?page=2)
