Subject: RE: I need a hug From: Peter Kasin Date: 20 Oct 00 - 11:31 PM O.K Wyo, I'm ready for one of those. I'll just flop myself down on this here table and......oh, that was for hollowfox. O.K., never mind. |
Subject: RE: I need a hug From: WyoWoman Date: 20 Oct 00 - 10:02 PM Well, Hollowfox, as a veteran of a few years' living solo, I'll tell you never, ever to underestimate the value of a good massage. Whenever I have an overwhelming need for physical contact -- which happens, since I make my living sitting in front of a computer for hours and hours and hours and can go for days, literally, without encountering another actual, physical human except the UPS guy who's a little short for me and anyway married -- I just find a good massage therapist (we are not talking about "massage" as in parlor) and just go flop on his or her table for an hour or so. As I told my mother the last time she asked, I would not have re-married if I'd discovered massage in time. It feeds the skin hunger without the whittling down of your soul that unhappy relationships require. Oh, and here's a big ol' Rocky Mountain hug to you as well. Try to take the gallstones approach to all this stuff: This will surely pass. WW |

Subject: RE: I need a hug From: KathWestra Date: 19 Oct 00 - 01:05 PM Hey Mary, A belated, but nevertheless heartfelt BIG HUG from your old friend. Hope you get through it all -- and you will. Know that you have a bunch of good folks on your side whenever you need it -- and there will no doubt be other days when you will, since even the friendliest of separations takes a toll (been there). Ask for hugs anytime. We deliver! Kathy |
Subject: RE: I need a hug From: GUEST,bbc at work Date: 19 Oct 00 - 11:55 AM It's ok to have down days, anyway. Never feel guilty feeling bad because somebody else has it worse than you. There will *always* be somebody who has it worse, but we all feel the pain of our lives sometimes. Just try to not live there. On the worst day, there's something good going on, too! best for today, bbc |
Subject: RE: I need a hug From: Hollowfox Date: 19 Oct 00 - 11:13 AM Hey, I know I'm one of the lucky ones. I have a secure job, secure housing, the kids are safe, and I have friends like you folks. |
Subject: RE: I need a hug From: bbc Date: 18 Oct 00 - 09:30 PM Here's for the next time you badly need a hug-- <<< best from NY, bbc |
Subject: RE: I need a hug From: GUEST,Guest Still Date: 18 Oct 00 - 06:51 PM So glad your feeling better. Prayers, love and music are powerful medicine. :o) |

Subject: RE: I need a hug From: Hollowfox Date: 18 Oct 00 - 02:16 PM Wow! You've all given me exactly what I needed: hugs, blessings, advice...so much that I had to take notes before answering your posts. Zebedee, KimC, Hesperis, I'll trade ya, hug for hug. 'Spaw..New Pholadelphia?? That's twice as far for you to drive than me! We really should meet some day, though. We could turn our respective flocks of kids on each other and those of us who are no longer carded to get into a bar can have a good visit. BTW, are you related to Tim Wallace, the Cleveland area songwriter? You two resemble each other,both in looks and humor. (this is a compliment to you both.) Rabbitrunning et al, not to worry, I don't put much faith in astrology (interesting coincidences sometimes, though). It was just the last thing I needed to hear at this time. MaxTone, rest assured, my kids aren't pawns for either parent, nor for the lawyers, and I'm reading everything very carefully. Drives my soon-to-be-ex nuts. He's the one in a hurry, but I cut my teeth on legal circumlocution helping negotiate my union's contract a few years ago. And the turntable's needed in Ohio, about equidistant from Pittsburgh and Cleveland. I have a few ideas on that problem's solution, though. Harpgirl, thanks for clearing up the mixup between you and Kendall. Only on the 'Cat would anybody mistake one of you for the other *g*. I hope all goes well with the child support. My prayers are with you. Guest,Still, that's exactly why I posted here; these postings helped me to replenish my life with much-needed love and music. Aine, that's my usual style, but I was a bit overwhelmed yesterday. The sandwich was delicious; thanks for the menu suggestion. Aine & Naenamson, did you ever hear the story of the magician who made it possible for a whole town to hang out their problems like laundry so that everybody could swap their huge problems for smaller, more manageable ones? In the end, everyone chose to take their original troubles back. Naemanson, I'd answer (pm) Now folks, here's an update. The glasses got adjusted, I'm not working with the Clerk from Hell today (she's the biggest problem right now), my husband says the 78's can wait, I don't mind recording the others (that way I keep the original records), his lawyer made a goofy proposal that delayed signing anything, and the kids all hugged me when I got home. Whew, its a good thing my old English teacher can't see that last run-on sentance - it's a beaut! I can deal with the house, the papers are bound to turn up them, and you folks all have my thanks and gratitude for deflecting that massive batch of depression that was barreling down on me yesterday. My thanks to you all! |
Subject: RE: I need a hug From: Susan from California Date: 18 Oct 00 - 01:41 PM Some of the things that tend to help me are renting sad movies to get the tears out in a socially acceptable way, baking cookies and eating a few with a *cold* glass of milk, taking a long, hot, bath, and knowing above all else that we are not alone, even when we are lonely. So here's a great big hug from warm and sunny Southern California! |
Subject: RE: I need a hug From: StandingBear (inactive) Date: 18 Oct 00 - 01:16 PM I am a very LARGE human being... (6'4", 285) and when i give a Bear hug, it really is one... StandingBear really is my name; it just made for a really cool nickname, too. So, here goes... HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG Peace on you, 'Bear

Subject: RE: I need a hug From: Max Tone Date: 18 Oct 00 - 10:05 AM If all these virtual hugs don't do the trick, write a song about it, and post it back to us all! |
Subject: RE: I need a hug From: Kim C Date: 18 Oct 00 - 09:53 AM I need one too so I'll give you one if you'll give me one. And Whiskey Cat could use a little scratchy under the chin. :) |
Subject: RE: I need a hug From: Naemanson Date: 18 Oct 00 - 09:49 AM BTW, Aine, I meant to include a *bg* at the end of my first sentence. Just kidding around in that message. |
Subject: RE: I need a hug From: Naemanson Date: 18 Oct 00 - 09:48 AM OK, Aine, you're on. Go ahead give it your best shot. I bet my life has been tougher over the last few weeks than yours! I mentioned to a friend recently that humans tend to engage in a brand of one-upsmanship when it comes to personal problems. Maybe we should start such a thread. Maybe doing that will make it easier to laugh at our troubles. |
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 |
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: georgeward Date: 18 Oct 00 - 04:45 AM Hugs from here, too, Hf. Don't know if we can call before the week is out, but we'll try. Hope the papers got signed, and even more that both cats and kids realize what good hands they're in. I'm betting on the cats for now. But the kids will come around...eventually. -George ::-.--O |

Subject: RE: I need a hug From: Naemanson Date: 17 Oct 00 - 11:04 PM Tonight I wandered in to rehearsal needing a hug in the worst way. My day has been one piss poor substitute for life. Jennifergave me a nice warm full hug and made me feel a lot better. So I pass on to you the same thing. 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: 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 |
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: 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: 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: 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: 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 |
