OK - who needs a HUG tonight?

[RevCheesehead]

No strings attached - I promise. O8)

[elshiva]

1. Thanks, RevCheesehead! I need a hug because my dad

is being squeezed out of his job after 15 years of great service. Also I am still unemployed.

But I love you RevCheesehead and I love DU. :hug: :grouphug:

[RevCheesehead]

I'll say some prayers for your dad, too.

Give him one of the many hugs you get from here! :hug::hug::hug:

[elshiva]

14. Thank you. The prayers are great.

I pray for you, too, everyday. :hug:

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

59. Love, and a strong local prog group to hang with...

... lacking that, (and, sadly, I'm no organizer!) you guys are the next best thing!

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

60. Hugs, magick candles, and prayers always avaliable!

:hug: here, have one... in fact, :hug: :hug: have :hug: :hug: a whole :hug: :hug: bunch!

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[elshiva]

83. Thank You!

[Ptah]

84. Here you go - >

[elshiva]

86. Thanks, but what is that?

:hug:

[Ptah]

87. Well the poster before you mentioned majik candles.

I thought you might like that pic, since I can't give you a hug.

:shrug:

[elshiva]

89. Thanks! That is a majik candle because

it stays lighted underwater. :hug:

[Shine]

2. I would LOVE a hug from you, darlin'

:hug: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

7. Any time, Shine!

:hug::loveya:

[Oeditpus Rex]

3. I never turn down hugs

Especially from someone whose hugs leave such a lasting impression. :evilgrin:

[RevCheesehead]

8. That would be from the Kryptonite Sports Bra.

:hug::loveya:

[Oeditpus Rex]

27. That would explain the strange blue dust

on my shirt.

[RevCheesehead]

28. next time,

let's take off that shirt, shall we? ;)

:hug::loveya:

[Oeditpus Rex]

33. You want the strange blue dust

on my flesh?!?

I got plenty o' shirts, but only one skin. :cry:

[RevCheesehead]

35. well, there are ways to resolve that problem, too.

:evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

43. You gonna change into a reg'lar brassiere?

:shrug:

[RevCheesehead]

45. I'm open to any suggestions.

And, I'm not buying that "sweet and innocent" thing.
Well, not the "innocent" part. :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

47. Sweet and innocent?

Who, me? :shrug:

[RevCheesehead]

48. More like this:

"Sweet, but not so innocent." :dilemma:

[Oeditpus Rex]

50. Well, I should hope *not*

Since I lost my virginity two whole years ago.

[RevCheesehead]

51. I once heard someone say

that you can go to hell for lying to a preacher. ;)





what? I didn't say I agreed with that! O8)

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

62. but can you go to hell for lying WITH a preacher?

... MY local Rev. says "No!" }( :9

[RevCheesehead]

65. I would have to say no.

Unless, of course, you do it in vain. :)

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

72. NEVER!!! All my friends agree: I'm not vain!

in artery, perhaps... :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[Ellen Forradalom]

4. A hug from a Reverend?

How can I turn one down?

I got an exciting new job but it's a big change and my husband and I are fighting more. I need a hug.

[RevCheesehead]

9. That's why I'm here.

Transitions are hard - even when they're good ones, they still involve a lot of stress.

:hug:

[Ptah]

5. I started a thread and no one came.

Hug me.

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

11. I've had my share, too - I feel your pain.

:hug:

[elshiva]

12. There, there, hon.

Another hug :hug:

[Ptah]

15. I'm feeling better with each minute that passes.

Here's my plan:



Thanks for the hugs.

[RevCheesehead]

16. now THAT's a plan!

And it pretty much sums up my day, too. :hug:

[Ptah]

31. It just happens that I am very good at naps.

[RevCheesehead]

34. I LOVE that pic!!

If napping were an Olympic sport, I'd be in Turino right now. :)

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

64. Hey! Where'd yoiu get that pic of me?

[elshiva]

17. AMEN to that.

[Ptah]

32. Practice, practice, practice.

[SeattleGirl]

18. I'll take a hug Rev

Hugs are good anytime!

And here's one for you: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

19. Here ya go, girl!

:hug::hug::hug: I gave you extra, so you can share it around with others who need it, too. :)

[SeattleGirl]

20. That's sweet of you!

I know several folks who need hugs.

[elshiva]

21. May I be of assistance, also?

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

22. We need more hugs in the world.

Really - don't you just feel better when someone reaches out to you?

I preached about this on Sunday. And while I preached about how Jesus reached out and touched people to heal them, I walked through the congregation, and touched every single person there. It was so cool!

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

67. well, I have it on good authority that 8 a day is the minimum RDA...

... so, in the interest of better health for all my new DU family...

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

A week's supply for one, or a day's supply for a group... share them as needed: there's way more where THOSE came from!

[RevCheesehead]

69. You are wise, grasshopper!

Let's keep passing them around, and watch this place turn into the Love Lounge. :loveya::hug:

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

73. I don't know about "wise", but I know about hugs...

... I belong to hugaholics unanimous...

This is the sister group to my own chocoholics unanimous!

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

66. Hey, SG! Here's another!

:hug:

from your friendly neighborhood alchemist...

[In_The_Wind]

23. I'll always take a hug from you Rev!

Who in the world would think there are strings attached to a hug. I sure don't.

[RevCheesehead]

25. Sure, Joani!

:hug::hug::hug: I gave you some extras, to share with others. :)

But you know, some people are squeamish about hugs.
I think they were bottle-fed. ;)

[In_The_Wind]

37. Thanks Rev!

I've been sharing hugs and love with DUers for days. I just sent you a PM with a link you might enjoy when you have the time.

A lot of things can make people uncomfortable when they're held.

[NoSheep]

24. me

:nopity:

[RevCheesehead]

26. Here ya go!

:hug: Now put down the violin next time - you almost poked me with the bow! :)

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

68. Bahhhhhh....

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

There... one day's worth... and call me in the morning!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. Well, my dear Rev.......

I'd LOVE a hug! Being a hugger from waaaaaay back myself!

If we ever meet, be prepared to get the hug of your life! OK?

And here's some for you: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

36. Peggy gets the Gold for Hugging!

:patriot: *cue the national anthem*

:hug::hug::hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

42. My dear Rev!

A gold medal for hugging? Why? Not that I'm complaining, mind you!

But I don't understand it......

Still, I'll take it! And I humbly thank you.......


:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

46. Because I've never seen you refuse a request to give or receive one.

That makes you as good as gold, in my book. :) :hug:

[ContraBass Black]

30. I like hugs.

My need isn't desperate, though.

[RevCheesehead]

39. I didn't put any qualifiers on the need.

And - isn't today your birthday??

:hug::hug::party::hug::hug:

[ContraBass Black]

41. Um,

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4748082

[RevCheesehead]

44. Believe me, I know how much that can hurt.

I've been through it many, many times. :hug:

But, somewhere, there is someone who will cherish and love you in the way that you deserve. From what I can tell, you're quite a fine person, with a lot to offer the world.

Any time you need a hug, you know where to find me! :hug:

[ContraBass Black]

49. I've been through it many times as well.

At the moment, it's not so much that as it is that I'm tired, lonely, and have work to do.

[RevCheesehead]

52. I hear ya.

Focus on your work, and get as much rest as you can. At least you have a group of friends in your life - focus on them, too. :hug:

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

70. DAMN!!!

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

just because... Mine did the same to me on our 5th anniversary, no less!

come to think of it, noSheep...

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

another day's worth for good measure!

[ContraBass Black]

78. She wasn't with me. I'm just interested in her.

[ZombieNixon]

38. I will partake.

Thanks for the Valentine's PM, the only one I got today...as is the case with all Valentine's Days. However, DU made this one somewhat bearable. So thanks for that.

I now embark on three projects due tomorrow, so this is looking more and more like an all-nighter. x(

Hug please!

[RevCheesehead]

40. Of course!

:hug::hug::loveya::hug::hug:

Get your work done, then come back here tomorrow for more hugs! :hug:

[Ladyhawk]

53. We all should hug one another after arguing so fiercely in GD. :)

:grouphug:

Sometimes the snark gets me.

[RevCheesehead]

55. I avoid that....

GD, that is - not snark.

Maybe that's why I hang out here... to help with the de-snarking. :)

[Ladyhawk]

57. Please help me to de-snark, then.

I did get a bit snarky today. I had a rough day. :( :( :( :(

[RevCheesehead]

61. Snark, be gone!!

Receive a hug, in the name of good human loving democratic values!

:hug::hug::hug::hug:

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

71. I see that the good reports I've received of you are well-deserved...

... and, indeed, might even understate the case!

Life really IS better with Cheese! :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[ralps]

54. I don't need one but I'll give you & your Mom & Dad some hugs

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :hug: :hug: :hug: :grouphug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

56. Thanks, ralps!

From one KOEBabe to another! :hug::hug: To the ties that bind! :toast:

[Nicole]

58. I could use a hug

Thank you for the valentine you sent me via P.M. It was much appreciated. :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

63. You're more than welcome!

:hug: I think the world would be a better place if we gave more hugs. :hug:

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

76. Greetings, Nicole...

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

...and for good measure...

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[Aristus]

74. I wouldn't turn one down, RevCheesehead.

[RevCheesehead]

75. Good!
