> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Verrain \* > **purplebear** I hug you back just as tight, cuddling you close like the bear you’re named for. My hand smoothes your hair, and I hum softly as we draw strength from each other’s warmth. Thanks for the kind words and the pair of arms, dear. Wish I had advice for you and your Czech friend. Just share your feeling and caring as you have done. Its all any of us can do. MMMMMmmm… Honey, you can hug me any time you like. _happy sigh_ I really love cuddling too, but somehow I think you already knew that. You’re welcome, I always have plenty of hugs for friends or anyone in need/want of one. Thank you, I’m doing that, as best I can. I love this thread, and all the wonderful hugs you have given. I have more to add, to **dlgirl** in particular, but this 'puter is acting up so I need to reboot. ---

**Qwertasdfg** , you ask, I hug. No questions or credentials needed. I slide up beside you and slide one arm around your waist pulling you snug against my side and resting my head against yours for moment. Then I twist around to hug you fully, holding you close and rubbing your back. A timeless moment of warmth later, we give each other a final squeeze and part with a smile. ---

I came back in here just to see how everyone was doing. From what I see, there are people puddles everywhere, a woman trying to imitate a cat to get attention, an overworked hugger, and an overall lustful mood. This might be a good time to… :slyly running up to Verrain and hugging him tightly from behind: …say thank you yet again. 😉 ---

Hello, Verrain. I’m just a poor wretched newbie, but I too would like a hug, if you please. Are you a great big bear-like fellow? If not, could you please hug me as though you were? I’ve had a miserable day, and I need some comfort. How miserable, you ask? Do the words “Sybil at Cumae” mean anything to you? ☹ I give you my humble thanks in advance. ---

I am 5’ 10" with a very cuddly teddy bear like physique, **gallows** and I do hope your problems are lesser than life eternal. Come hear, dear. My arms enfold her in a huge bear hug, holding you close and leaning back to lift you to your tip-toes. My hands smooth over your back and ruffle her hair warmly. I murmur soft sounds of comfort as the warmth calms and soothes us. We sway slightly as we relax in each other’s arms. When you are ready, I give you one final squeeze, and let you back to the ground with a smile. ---

Anyone out there interested in giving me a hug that will make me brave for my flight on Saturday? I keep repeating the whole security is so tight so why should I worry mantra, and who would hijack a little puddle jumper plane going to Willaimsburg anyway? But I could really use an everything will be OK hug right now and would be happy to the give the same to any that needs it. ---

Its just a vacation, **Spider**. Thanks to you and **dlgirl**. I was fine about the flight until the whole invasion thing started. Ah well, can’t live in fear so off I go. But a little reassurance is nice. 🙂 ---

I wrap my arms around your waist, resting my head on your chest (that’s what you get for getting a hug from a short girl! 😉 ) I feel your arms wrap around behind me, and we stand there in companionable silence for as long as you need the comfort that a friend’s hug can bring. When the need for contact has passed, we move apart. I grasp your hand before you go and give it a tight squeeze, whispering “Everything will be alright.” The plane trip will be fine, my friend. Tell me how everything goes in Williamsburg, ok?? ---

Thank you very much \*\* True Pisces \*\*. I needed that. 🙂 I know not what adventures I shall have but I’ll likely post a thread on my return. Possibly during, if I can find Net access down there.
