I'm not going to post a Yuk today..instead I'll post a hug.

(((( HUG ))))

Some of us know why I'm doing this, we don't need to say much else. Those that don't..just appreciate it for what it is and pass it along.

For once I'd like for one of my posts to stay clean..its not a playground..

Your wish is my command.

And if you don't mind, if you see A.C. walking around Ballsbridge let her know that her chances are done.

Seems as though another girl has won me over.
:D

Hope you're having a great day :)

by shellbot

A bittersweet day..
moments of pure joy..
moments of sadness..

such is life

Have a good day you!

by jck

Had enough sadness the past 2 weeks.

But that is life.

I'm not great with sharing emotions, your actions earlier and your post here help alot.

Thanks for stepping up.

by shellbot

Long boring story..but only just recently joined the ranks of humanity and friendship for the first time in years.

I've a lot of "stepping up" to do to make up for my absense.

Emotions not my strong point either, especially the gentle ones...

by michael jay

even if you do not realize it emotions are your strong point. (((HUG)))

And thanks for the other thing this morning at 7:00 that helped at least me in a large way.
One More Big HUG

There is a very big hug required (& needed), I just looked at the update.

there you go :D

by jdclyde

This does give us time to reflect.

time to re-evaluate life and the stuff that keeps us scampering all day long.

Take time to hug friends/family.

Take time to play with your cat/dog.

Just take some time.

Best wishes my friends.

by michael jay

Very Large and warm hugs, life touches us both in ways we like and ways we do not.

Hugs and Love to all who understand.

by maecuff

I'm all for the hugs. Hugs all around for everyone.

But, could someone tell me what's going on? Did someone get hurt or die or something?

by santeewelding

Is always getting hurt, or dying, or something. It's the proximity this time. It's the payment for coming close.

by shellbot

I couldn't have put it better any other way..

"payment for coming close" ... I'm learning all about this recently..

by boxfiddler

I try to behave. Just a tad...
Thanks for the offer, but, my turn, my pleasure. What Shell said, above.:)

by bizzo

I don't know what's happened, nor do I know why you're sad. But thanks for the hug.

{{{HUG}}}

But there's one back.

I found this for you.
I hope it makes you smile.

Hugs are special for lots of things
They can feel like bears or butterfly wings
They can make you smile when you are sad
Or just say sorry when you've been bad
They can give you love and comfort
They can wash away a tear
A hug can reach you anywhere
Whether you're far away or near
So if you're feeling lonely
Sad or even blue
Remember a hug isn't far away
Just call and I'll bring one to you

We just don't do big, wet, slobbering, unreserved lick upside faces. We're more of a reserved nod or handshake sort of people.

But the sentiment is appreciated. :D

by jellimonsta

When my wife first went over to the UK to visit my family (and me as I was there), the first thing my dad did was the customary kiss on the cheek. My wife (then fianc?e) came running in blurting "your Dad kissed me!" :p

by nicknielsen

And you know how big a hug that is! :D

Busy week, but down to one call in the queue and that out for parts. Think I'll buy me a beer.

(((((((((((((((((((( HUGS ))))))))))))))))))))

Stay safe, all.

all know that your awesome right?

I expected this thread to fall off the front pretty quickly..but lo and behold..there is is :)

(((((((((hug))))))))

by darryl~

and dealing with the Blues concert in the field next to us...Colin James right now...a few other big tickets over the weekend....we get the "cheap" tickets...free....oh well.

(((HUG)))

by shellbot

I wouldn't go so far to say they a strong point...but ya..you know how I am..so nuff said.

Don't be thanking me..

by purpleskys

doing the catch up thing with Darryl first...with the whole concert thing and all :) which was a blast btw...hugs to all and have a good night

by hal 9000

And as I was about to climb into bed I got a phone call and had to go out and do some work. :(

So instead of getting some sleep from around midnight I got 3 hours after 5.00 AM this morning. I was so shattered when I did eventually get home that I couldn't even look at a monitor and I had to crawl into bed but only after turning off the Mobile and unplugging the Home Phone. ;)

I hope you are luckier than me on that score. :D

Col

by purpleskys

but i did the AC/DC concert last night (it's a two hour drive from where Darryl and I live)...so I'm pretty much toast this evening...but then again, here I am posting back to you...so seriously, this is it for the evening :) from the very tired but extremely ecstatic AC/DC fan...hugs one last time :)

by purpleskys

i think Darryl and I are done being "silly" for the evening...it's a lot later heading to la-la land than I had expected...so here's our last hugs to all for the evening...we wish you all well... :) hugs from the Mathesons

by nicknielsen

I'd pay $45-50 to see just one of most of those acts.

Next year I'm sending my tape deck, a couple of microphones, and a case of tapes.

Edit: I'll send the beer money when I get the tapes back! ;)

by tig2

((((((((((HUGS))))))))))

I'll guess and say that I know why.

No smut here, just some personal rain. Sometimes the pain is more than I think I can bear. And then I see something that gives me the strength I need to keep going and to do what I need to do.

You just can't know how desperately I needed this hug today.

by tig2

After not sleeping in days and needing to but can't, I have the cognitive ability of shredded wheat.

I used to hear the statement, "My heart is breaking," and think that it was just so much melodrama. After all, the heart is a flexible little organ and can stand up to all kinds of things.

Today I learned that my heart is very capable of breaking. Amazingly, I also learned that when you have to, it is possible to remain quite calm all the way through the process.

Somehow I know that this will not be the last time I manage to cry myself hoarse. Boy am I glad that only the cats saw that display and they aren't talking. It isn't a bad thing- I now have an empty barrel for the morning and have no doubt that it will be refilled by the day's end.

Someone I love was able to put those hugs to very good use. There will soon be a web place with a disposal area for clean, healthy hugs seeking a good- albeit temporary- home. I promise to collect all partially used and recyclable hugs and find them good and loving homes when they are no longer needed by the primary recipient.

Edit- wrong word. Failed to convey what I wanted.

by oh smeg

It's important that you stay Fit & Well so that you can face the other things that will come your way. So get some sleep and maybe things will look better tomorrow and if they don't you at least will have the strength to face them yet again. :x

Here's anothr hug for today

(((((((HUG))))))))

Hope all was recieved in good order.

by gadgetgirl

to set you up in the right direction for the day.

((((((((((((((((((( HUGS ))))))))))))))))))))

Do me a favour? Don't forget to eat. I know what you're like with eating, remember? Set alarms for meds and meals if you have to, but make sure you input BOTH!

Love and hugs to you and Mike

:x

by the scummy one

is there such a thing?

Anyway -- more hugs ((((((((((HUGS))))))))))
and take care of yourself too. Make sure to get some sleep.

by michael jay

Hugs to you Tig, I will be outta here for 2 weeks at the beach YAY. Limited to no internet access but my BlackBerry will be receiving any emails tossed my way.

(((((HUGS)))))

by santeewelding

Says you need a comma between "Thanks" and "Sweetie". You may dispense with the exclamation.

The medic in me says, get sound sleep.

by purpleskys

that the human race is rather resiliant that way...and women even more so...we take everything in when things are tough and then keep going until we get that five minutes to have a mini break down, then we dust off and go do it all again...so here's a Saturday morning hug to help start your day ((hug))

by shellbot

Its not even 7pm yet (well over here anyways) and it seems like this day has just gone on forever...

yet another ((( hug )))

by shellbot

Right now I'm not capable of cluing anyone into anything..
long day..lots of thoughts..
sme good, some bad, some full of hope...

Goodnight (((HUG)))

by jiminpa

Wow... I have been a little out of the loop with my change in jobs and all. That is heavy :( ((((HUG)))) puts things into perspective...
