**Tygr** - For picking me up when I’ve been down. **dantheman** - For being a friend, indeed. **Watermelon Man** - For e-mails that make me smile. **TPWombat** - For wanting to be the first member of my harem, and making me mile with your posts. and **Lindyhopper** - For the missed flirt opportunities, in threads innumerable, and for those that we haven’t missed, that have given me something to remember. ---

_sigh_…I suppose I could blame my forgetfulness on being sick, but I won’t. More hugs to **fierra** and **Mauvaise**. Hmm…I know I’m forgetting more, but hopefully I won’t remember them right after posting _this_ post. ---

I’m not sure how serious the threat I spoke of was, but in any event, you have once again shown your classiness and selflessness to the SDMB.

What the hell? Nobody loves me? 😉 That’s OK. Since I love hugs so much, I’ll just give everyone here on the boards a hug. God knows some of you need one, and those that say they don’t are the first ones in line. 🙂 [sub] That means you, **Jill** …[/sub] ---

Thank you, **Spider Woman**. _hug back to the lady with the legs_ 🙂 Guess I’ll go ahead and admit that you were at the top of the list of Dopers I didn’t mention because I’m bashful about hugging those I’ve not interacted with enough. And on the off chance that two or three of you might wonder if you are on that list, you are. So consider yourself mentally hugged. ---

More hugs to **Scotti** , who helped keep me sane last week… And to **Medea’s Child** , because it’s just not possible to hug her too much. (Well, I haven’t had that problem yet…) Also, hugs to all the dopers who have not yet been hugged and felt left out. They are: Adam Adrian Adrianna Akira Alan Alana Alice Alysce \*\*\* Fast-Forward 20 hours \*\*\* Zed And now I present to you the graduating class of… Oops. ---

Yikes! How did I miss this thread? Where did it come from? Who are you people? Why are you here? What’s for lunch? Is it steamy and sultry in here, or is it just you? I mean, sheesh, I’m being hugged (and punched) by hot women to the left and to the right. Lessee… {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Medea’s}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Persephone}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{jarbaby}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{TruePisces}}}}}}}}}}}}} Well! I squeezed you all so extra-special tight that I’m winded. Whew. Whew. Gasp, gasp. Ok. And a relative newbie who’s doing very well here: {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{GingeroftheNorth}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} And how could I forget my good friend {{{{{{{{{{{{{{ArdenRanger}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Plus someone I have some newfound respect for (not that I didn’t respect her before, but now I admire her, too) {{{{{{{{{{CrankyAsAnOldMan}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} And finally, everyone who posted condolences to me in the thread I began way back in January about my dog being murdered by another dog: {{{{{{{{{{{{{You guys rock}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} I think I’ll go back to bed. No wait; can’t. I’m at work. ---

Hugs are very personal, Between two folks that care. It’s a sign of great affection, That should be witnessed everywhere. Now some of you folks are hugging, Its a wonderful thing to see. Everyone is getting hugs, Everyone but me. (Sniff) Now no one really knows me, Some don’t even know my name. So I’ll give board a big “Group Hug”, As the meaning is the same. = ) [sub]Ok…Its sappy…but I killed a half hour in my day ;)[/sub] ---

Returning the hugs for **TroubleAgain** … Actually I’m feeling a little better now. I spent much of the morning considering the vacation to Europe I’ve been talking about–and writing e-mails to a travel agent. ---

In no particular order… {{{{True Pisces}}}}}-The first Doper I ever emailed(remember why Amber hehehe) You’ve always been a good friend and extremely patient during my rantings and ravings. {{{{Falcon}}}}-I’m casting a spell for you and sorry for all the emails about youknowwho. {{{{Verrain}}}-For the Pick-Me-Up Thread bumps and the flirts. {{{{Arden Ranger}}}}-For the email conversations and the advice when I needed it-and the occasional"hey,cut that out!" when my flirting goes overboard. {{{TwistofFate}}}-For the emails-especailly the line “Did you think he was a little Pat Patterson?” You and your wrestling knowledge-but you did guess correctly 🙂 {{{Crunchy Frog}}}-You’re going to lose that bet. 🙂 Thanks for the emails,for sticking up for me in the Pit, and for using my line as your sig.
