I need a hug

Subject: I need a hug From: Hollowfox Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:10 PM It's dismal weather outside, I've had to work with the Clerk from Hell for five of the past six work days, I had to go get my glasses adjusted (third time) before work, and after work (7:00PM)I have an appointment with my lawyer to (maybe finally) sign the marriage separation papers. A girlfriend who's into astrology told me that, Mercury being retrograde, it's a bad time to sign legal documents for maybe three weeks (I will anyway, if they're ready). The house is a wreck, I can't find several important papers. I have until December 1 to make casettes of about 50 records as part of the separation agreement, and I need a turntable that plays 78 RPM for some of them. My teenage kids aren't into hugging (or housecleaning) at the moment. I feel as if it weren't for the cats, I wouldn't have affectionate physical contact with any living thing. I Know things will get better, but right now, I'd really like a hug. |

Subject: RE: I need a hug From: katlaughing Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:15 PM If you were born when Mercury was retrograde, as I was, it has no effect on you in the way people usually ascribe to it. My cats fill in on many days, too. I have a 78 record player, but it doesn't do you any good here, sorry.....oh, and can you get an extension on the recording deadline?**BG** Anyway, here's a BIG HUG with many more to follow from the others I am sure! Deep breath, now blow it out slowly..that's it, Deep Peace to you, kat kat |

Subject: RE: I need a hug From: GUEST,Dave (the ancient mariner at work) Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:19 PM Place your right hand on your left shoulder, and now your left hand on your right shoulder and firmly but gently squeeze..... there you go, a bear hug from me.

Subject: RE: I need a hug From: rabbitrunning Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:22 PM An e-hug I can manage, but for everything else, well, a massage can actually help that "nobody wants to touch me" feeling. You might be able to find a used turntable at a Goodwill type store (but buy a new needle!). If not, talk to a stereo place. Any turntable that can play 33 and 45 can be adapted to 78 by a knowledgeable technician. And astrology is ...er... based on an inaccurate premise. Whatever your sun sign supposedly is, it ain't, so relax. Hope things get better soon! |

Subject: RE: I need a hug From: DougR Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:28 PM Remember those very important four words, "this too will pass," Hollowfox, and believe it! Meanwhile, here's one big one from me. DougR |

Subject: RE: I need a hug From: hesperis Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:32 PM Good! {{{{{{{HUG!!!}}}}}}} (I needed one too.) |
|
Subject: RE: I need a hug From: Little Hawk Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:34 PM "This too will pass" is a good motto, and Spaw has been applying it liberally for years! :-D How about a hug from the wings of the hawk? These are spirit wings, and they brush gently around you with plenty of love and caring...for both Hollowfox and Zebedee... ( ( ( whooshhh... ) ) ) LH |
|
Subject: RE: I need a hug From: mousethief Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:36 PM Yes, Hawk, we know Spaw's motto is "This too shall pass," but I don't think Hollowfox is speaking about his digestion. (grin)

Subject: RE: I need a hug From: SINSULL Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:37 PM Foxy, Here's a hug. Now get your cat to walk on your back or massage your shoulders. Any chance of getting a local kid with turntables to do the recording job for you? My son had it down to a science at one point. Two turntables, fade in, fade out, next. Ask your children who DJs local parties. You may be able to negotiate a deal and save yourself hours of teeth grinding. Smile. The worst of it is over. And screw Mercury. He looked like a fool in that hat anyway.

Subject: RE: I need a hug From: harpgirl Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:43 PM I dont hug strangers, but, I met you at Old Songs, so, that qualifies as an introduction, right? It probably wont do any good, but, I've been there with two women. (at different times) I was devastated by the second one, and convinced that my life was over. WRONG! every time a door closes, another opens. You must believe that. Anyway, I dont want to go on and on, so, here is a warm heartfelt squeeze for you. I only wish I could deliver it in person. |

Subject: ADD: The Hug Song - Fred Small From: Joe Offer Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:44 PM Maybe this will help, Hollowfox. I copied from here (click). -Joe Offer- The Hug Song (Fred Small) CHORUS: I want a hug when we say hello I want a hug when it's time to go I want a hug 'cause I want you to konw I'm awfully fond of you. I want a hug--what a wonderful feeling I want a hug--to feel you squeezing I want a hug--it certainly seems like The natural thing to do! When I was a little bitty baby child, my momma used to hold me tight My daddy used to come and pick me up when I got scared at night The years have passed, I've grown so fast, and mostly I feel strong But timid or bold, I'm never too old to sing this cozy song. CHORUS Now some folks don't like hugging--they think they're too tough I bet they'd be a whole lot friendlier if they were just hugged enough When you hug the ones who love you, an amazing thing you learn When you give a hug, you just can't help but get one in return! CHORUS Sometimes grownups are grouchy and they put the blame on you Sometimes you make just a little mistake though you did the best you could do Sometimes love is everywhere and it's a beautiful day And every time is the perfect time to open your arms and say: CHORUS ©1981, Pine Barrens Music BMI Somebody reminded me that this is the children's version of this song. Murray posted the adult version here (click). -Joe Offer, July, 2003- |

Subject: RE: I need a hug From: Max Tone Date: 17 Oct 00 - 07:40 PM Hollowfox - If you ain't come yet, FoaD. It can only get better, as long as you don't let the kids become pawns in the Lawyers' game of FEESssssssssssssssssss. They win everytime. |

Subject: RE: I need a hug From: rangeroger Date: 17 Oct 00 - 07:52 PM Hollowfox I am well known for giving good hug, so here's a (((((((( bear hug ))))))) from me. Also, I have an old Bogen Presto turntable that plays 78, 45, 33, and 16. PM me and maybe we can find a way to get it to you. It requires a pre amp, but I have that also.It will need a new cartridge, but it also has the strobe disc to set the speed correctly with an incandescent light. rr |

Subject: RE: I need a hug From: GUEST,Joerg Date: 17 Oct 00 - 09:06 PM You think it can only get better? Why? Regardless how bad somebody feels - no problem to make him feel even worse. But - that's my hug - think to yourself NOT YET! Joerg |

Subject: RE: I need a hug From: harpgirl Date: 17 Oct 00 - 09:11 PM ...that first post was Kendall, Hollowfox! This is me! Sorry you are having a bad day and I'm sending you a giant squeeze and a bear hug. I'm waiting for the judge to tell me if I can keep my child support until my son gets out of high school, since he turns eighteen next week. His father doesn't want to pay anymore even though he hasn't finished high school. Imagine not wanting to support your own child! Well, get a good night's sleep and you will feel much better tomorrow. Good sleep is the single most important factor in emotional well-being, you know! harpgirl |

Subject: RE: I need a hug From: Gypsy Date: 17 Oct 00 - 09:15 PM And multiple hugs from this end! It is said that you need a minimum of 5 a day, just for maintenance. Oh yeah, if you lay down, entice a cat to lay on your back, and talk nicely to him/her, so they start purring....makes for quite a nice massage! |
|
Subject: RE: I need a hug From: MMario Date: 17 Oct 00 - 09:16 PM [[[hugs]]] from me too. wish there was more that could be done in virtual space, but at least you know that the thoughts of many 'catters are with you |

Subject: RE: I need a hug From: Tinker Date: 17 Oct 00 - 10:36 PM Sending out a great big warm and fuzzy hug... direct from my six year old who still gives great hugs.... and another I just "stole" from a 13 year old who likes to pretend she isn't into mom's hugs anymore... i keep reminding her I'm not as grownup as she is.. somedays she humors me and we're in luck this is one of them ... Since hugs just have to get passed on and on I send these to you with all the love that was wrapped into them. Tinker |

Stand up, put your arms around my neck, settle your face into my shoulder, My own arms are now circling you, drawing you into an embrace full of warmth, friendship, compassion, and, best of all, a whisper of (see PM). |

Subject: RE: I need a hug From: Áine Date: 18 Oct 00 - 08:50 AM OK, that's enough of this mushy business. Now for some 'tough love'. Hollowfox, I'd swap 'life problems' with you any day of the week - you'd be begging for a Prozac IV after eight hours, believe me. Here's a slap on the back, and a gentle kick in the backside. Like my daddy used to say, "Go make a sandwich and get on with your life." -- Áine |

Subject: RE: I need a hug From: GUEST,Guest still Date: 18 Oct 00 - 09:23 AM Mercury retrograde does NOT EFFECT anything that was started BEFORE the time of going retro. Mercury retrograde only effects things started within the period it spans, usually about 3-4 weeks. It is a time when our thinking can be muddled. Just as the moon affects the pull of the tides, Mercury effects the thought process. You were well into this 'experience' before it began so give it no thought, other than to be very sure that you read and understand all that you are to sign. For now, do not live in the sorrow of the situation, think to the future and all that is waiting for you to come and discover. I have walked many miles in your shoes, as many of us here have, and know what we speak of. Prayer is the ultimate answer,-- "Let Go and Let GOD". Fill your life with love and music. As for the hugs, I send all who need them as many as you would be pleased to have. My prayers are with you, and the others. God bless |
