Does this mean we can’t smack Jill with something heavy?

Damn smilies!
(I don’t guess Jill would want to fix that now…)
(of course I’ll fix it, Beth. Just don’t hug me for it - Jill)

Well, I’m feeling pretty down tonight, so I feel like sending out some hugs to some of my friends.
Hugs to Brunetter for many, many different reasons…way too many to list here, but they all mean a lot to me.
Hugs to AudreyK for being such a great friend in so many ways! We might not meet this summer, but we will soon enough, darlin.
Hugs to Scotti for being my friend and for being there for me…especially at times when I really needed someone.
Hugs to saph, who is pretty dang cool.
Hugs to mega the roo, who is also dang cool.
Hugs to Silver Fire, whose coolness is way up there…even if she does listen to Britney Spears at times. 
Finally last, but definitely not least, more hugs to Medea’s Child…just because.
I’m here today to offer hugs to Diane, who has been extremely kind to me, and who has been supportive in the past when I needed someone to vent to. (I don’t correspond with you enough via e-mail, Diane, and that’s a shame. I’d like to rectify this.
I also offer same to Katisha for no other reason than she wants to teach Shakespeare. That deserves more than a hug, but this is a family message board (besides, I don’t know her well, and a “pre-emptory hug” is all I have the “balls” for)
And now a brief hijack:
I have a former friend who I dare not offer even a cyber hug for, such is the extent we’ve fallen out.
Very recently, I’ve heard that she’s been feeling very despondent. Even to the point of having some suicidal feelings/leanings. While I’m hoping this is “just venting” (for all I know, she’s “over it” by now), I would be remiss if I did not express my deep and sincere concern.
If you’re reading this, and I suspect you will be, I humbly beg you: do no harm to yourself. Your life is not a waste, you have many friends here and in real life (more than myself, in both cases). All of whom would be saddened and lessened should any evil befall you. Even one such as myself who is now a target for your scorn would be greatly saddened by your misfortune. I had rather you villify me for daring to address you, against your express wishes, than contemplate harm to yourself. At a very tender age, you’ve gladdened the hearts of many who’ve known you: there are those of us who’ve lived twice as long as you who don’t make the world half as much a better place. Be well.
End of hijack. To avoid ending on such a down note, I’ll offer renewed hugs to everyone I addressed in my first post.
and [hijack] a link to anyone who is contemplating suicide. This is a very permanent solution to a temporary problem. You can always fix your problems while you still draw breath.

Group hug!!!
Almost as much fun as a group grope!
mmm…group grope…
maybe when this thread dies. ("And an ass squeeze for…)
I am completely remiss in not hugging the OP’er here.
Medea’s Child, for starting this thread, and for being the person you are. I admire how you handle yourself, both on the boards, and from what I see of your real life. Keep your head up, girl.
And Tymp, for making me laugh so hard I cried last night when I read about him running naked through the house yelling “I’m a naked shark!”
Hmm…I’m being hugged when I’m not looking.
{{{{{{Spider Woman}}}}}}
{{{{{{Scotticher}}}}}}
Now I need to put on my sneakers and warm up a little. Ok, now…
{{{{{{JillGat}}}}}}
<<<MysterEcks runs like hell>>>
(Somebody let me know if it turns into a group grope–if Jill hasn’t killed me, I’ll come back. :D)
Oh, that’s easy to say, but do you know how many Europeans are depending on me for their liberation? I gots to be all tough!
Big hugs right back atcha Bethie - for everything, for helping me get through some of the roughest patches in my life, for encouraging me to follow my heart, and for understanding, or at least trying to, what goes on in my mind.
And hugs for Cubby, Kricket, P., Spider Woman, and everyone else, too! (sorry, I’m too lazy to type right now, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care)
A Woo look at Rasa & a hug for Rasa, a hug for Scotti for being Scotti, and a multi-legged, non-venomous hug for Spider Woman (I missed your garage sales! Did someone clean out your web by accident?), silent_rob, Odieman, dpr, Shayna, PLG (good luck!), Nym, Una, DW, Mauvaise, & a lick & fuzzy bunnies to tiggeril.
And I’m behind on hugs.
Hug for Milossarian, thanks again for the e-mail!
Hugs to Jester, Dieket, and the PittDopers, cuz we rock!
A hug to Maeglin, for being classy and wonderful and a gamer to boot!
Hugs to Arden Ranger and Kricket, because I love to read your posts.
And Rasa, for being a sweetheart, hell, add in Tymp, the naked shark thing sounds hilarious.
One last quick hug for Ross, who I have no opinion on other than a very classy apology in the Pit recently. But class earns Kathryn hugs.
Um…this is an anti-hug for Jill for fixing my goof.

::smacking Jill with a large fresh trout for good measure::
And now, for a brief cameo…
It’s nice to be remembered - enough to make me smile even here at home…
Hugs back to all who hugged me, and special ones for tiggeril, scotticher, falcon, chique, and Medea’s Child - wish I could talk to y’all during the summer as much as I did during school.
and now back to your regularly scheduled message board…

Okay, because I’m a doof and forgot the first time
Medea’s Child: 'cause she’s just cool and a real sweetheart.
jayjay: for making my day more than once.
**all my little Amber newbies[/b :D]: for putting up with mine and Verrain’s way of doing things and generally just throwing yourselves into your roles and not making pithy comments about the typos on the website that I’m still finding. Sometimes it’s really easy being a GM.
I meant salmon. Sorry, Jill.
I’d like to take this opportunity to give myself a nice, big hug.
{{{{AndYrAStar}}}}
A BIG hug…
{{{{Scotti}}}}
…and a thank you for your call to lift my spirits Saturday…you have no idea how much hearing your voice soothed my spirit on an otherwise crappy day.
[sub]Amazing the effect an M’s fan can have on your day…[/sub]
{{{Ayesha}}}…for fighting the good fight.
{{{AudreyKakes}}}…for working overtime on piecing together a thoughtful gift that goes above and beyond friendship.
{{{{{{Falcon}}}}}}…always in my heart and prayers…you are loved and missed, little one…please be well.
[[Okay, because I’m a doof and forgot the first time]]
See, now you’re resorting to obligatory guilt hugs. It was inevitable, I guess.
Not at all. Otherwise you would have gotten one when I confused you with Jodi.
But since I value my life…
