I am such a doofus!! How could I forget {{{{fierra and una}}}}, {{{{rasa}}}}, {{{{sea diver}}}}, {{{{mauvaise}}}}, {{{DW}}}, {{{spider woman}}}, {{monster104}} and anyone else? Peace all. Remember to grab life while you can. Don’t put things off or wait for things to happen. Tomorrow comes with no guarantees and life is too wonderful to waste. ---

I’m behind! Well, hugs to **DRY** , of course, for being my friend. Hugs to **TruePisces**'cause she’s so much fun and also a good friend. Hugs to **Welfy** for being my virtual little sister. Hugs to **Morrison’s Lament, Shirley Ujest, robgruver and Medea’s Child** just because you guys seem to need them right now. Hugs to all of you who are consistently listed as “nicest or sweetest posters”, \*\*Scotti, SpiderWoman, Falcon, PurpleBear, \*\*etc. This place wouldn’t be half as nice without you. And hugs to all of you who are going through a bad time, just need a hug, or are feeling neglected, including you, **AndYrAStar** , although hugging yourself is a good thing, too! ---

I…don’t hug, as a product of the over critical american media, I’m afraid that when I hug another woman she’s feeling my body for flaws, of which there are many that I’m trying to remedy. Big, cuddly, teddy bearish guys I can hug all day. So I’ll give some good ol’ punches in the arm. }Arden Ranger who continues to let me live }MikeG, who welcomed me first into the Chidope Coven }Magdalene, who always makes me feel happy and good and I wish I could see her more often }Bottle of Smoke, who is actually an intelligent, fairminded, literate Packer Fan! Who would’ve thought? }}Two punches for dantheman, since we’ve been disagreeing a lot lately }SuaSponte, whom i’m a little bit in love with, but kind of shy about it I’m sure there are others, but I just thought of these. jarbaby ---

{{{{anniz}}}} I’m so sorry to hear it hon.

This is going to be one big group hug. {{{{{{{{{{Mistress Beth}}}}}}}}}}}} for letting me rant and ramble. {{{{{{{{{{{Mistress Tater}}}}}}}}}}}}}} We’ve been keeping each other sane lately. That and don’t forget we have to marry our children off to each other so we can harasse and warp for generations to come. Bwahahahahaha {{{{{{{{{dpr}}}}}}}}}}} I look at you in a whole new light after this mornings conversation. I am looking forward to a long and fun filled friendship. And we owe it to Tater and her little test. (I can’t believe you forgot to hug your virtual wife 😉 ) {{{{{{{{{{{{{{Mistress Persephone}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} For being caring, and reminding me that I am not the only person with trying children who are perfect in our eyes. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{Chef Troy}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Even tho the flirting has stopped, I am going to take this chance to hug and groupe at the same time. {{{{{{{{{{{Upham}}}}}}}}}}}} I miss you love. A soulmate if I have ever known one. Don’t make me worry about you!!! There are so many others, but you are not forgotten. I am still going through so much right now, and I will be thanking you all for your help, encouragement and support in the near future. ---

I know I will forget a few people…but here goes… {{Fierra}} and {{Una}} for being a constant source of inspiration to all of us To {{Nym}} and {{dpr}} even though he has forgotten to hug me 😉 To {{screech-owl}} who is having a really rough time…mechanical things seem to have it in for her. To {{Scotticher}}, one of the sweetest most dependable people around. To {{Callie}} for being interesting to talk with. To {{Wicked Blue}}…my favorite former psychic. To {{Canadian Sue}}, one of the the most inspiring people I know. To {{Feynn}} and {{Lola Granola}} I am looking forward to sharing a beer or two with you this summer. To {{Moi}} and {{That Darn Cat}}. You should cherish each other… To {{MsRobyn}}, its tough moving across the country. I admire you for your efforts. To {{Tatertot}} and {{Dahmna}}…Tater is always interesting to talk to and if someone captured her heart that is a damn fine recommendation. A happy bunny hug to {{tiggerill}} the official greeter of chat. I would also like to acknowledge Porcupine and Hamadryad, I won’t hug either of them because it will probably mean my death. 😉 And to many more, I know I will start swearing as soon as I hit submit. ---

First off a warm hug to **Medea’s Child** for starting this little hugfest. You’re a sweetie. A two armed hug to **Spider Woman** for being so generous with her eight arms whenever hugs are needed. A big hug to **Falcon** because she was cool enough to AIM me one night out of the blue. A hug and a flirt to Professor **True Pisces** for starting the Pick-Me-Up thread I merely maintain. A tight hug and grind for **Hardygrrl** for being a friend both in and outside of the Jello pit. A long hug to **Arden** because I know why. A group hug to all my Amber players. I hope you all are having as much fun playing as I am. And last of all a huge hug to **everyone**. Because you deserve it. ---

**Kricket!** A hope-things-get-better hug for you, and another one for reminding me of this! I was going to post a “Where’s Upham?” thread cuz I miss the little bugger. So **Upham** , if you’re out there, come back! I miss my favorite little spoonman. ---

The first, longest, tightest hug goes to **Kricket** for being the only one to want to hug _me._ More hugs for **Grace, Zyada,** and **Palmyra** because they are my foxiest friends and because they are local and could actually BE hugged. A big sloppy emotional hug for **Hamadryad,** because she helped me through an emotional crisis not long ago and because I know that being hugged in public will exasperate her. A major hug for **Falcon** because I missed my last chance to hug her more. And of course, a hug for **Shayna** (and if you really need to know why, go look at her pic on the people pages.) There are, naturally, hundreds of others. ---

I would’ve hugged you before Cheffie, but I was trying really hard to downplay my attraction to you. BTW, I’ve had Zyada hugs and they’re really good. 😉 ---

Thank you **Spider Woman,** that was unexpected, but very nice. I generally stay away from these things because I’m afraid I’ll either: Get carried away and hug someone who will be upset, or Forget to hug someone I should have, and hurt their feelings, or Hug **Opal** and get smacked for being too forward. But I can’t pass this up. **{{{{{Spider Woman}}}}}** As for the rest of you ladies, even though I’m looking at you with hug lust in my eyes, I suspect discretion to be the better part of valor in this case. But I’m thinking about it 😉 ---

Thanks for the hug Spider Woman. Besides being the boards favorite arachnid, I enjoy your posting. So hugs back atcha {{ **Spider Woman** }} {{ **biggirl** }} cause I enjoy her posts and stories of her family. {{ **John Corrado** }} for starting the SDMB baseball fantasy league 2. It has given me many hours of fun and kept me from that pesky thing called work.
