I persevered, thinking that new yorkers should not be exclusive of hugs, even ones of tropical origins.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04787719561695449181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857656258564642189.post-41857282264084125342009-07-15T12:13:02.975-07:002009-07-15T12:13:02.975-07:00I suggest an HRO weekend for some of your "no...I suggest an HRO weekend for some of your "non-hugging" friends Jess.Garynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857656258564642189.post-26926314642596867522009-07-15T09:36:13.319-07:002009-07-15T09:36:13.319-07:00I enjoy being hugged and hugging, and have no prob...I enjoy being hugged and hugging, and have no problem with physical space issues or boniness. And a hug can certainly be pleasurable just in and of itself. But when a hug is meant to comfort, to put me back together if I've fallen apart, I have to feel that the hugger has some idea what my problem is. I don't get comforted by generic hugs. If I've lost a loved one it doesn't comfort me to be hugged by someone who has no idea about my loss. <br />xooo<br />BilllBill Burnetthttp://www.billburnettsongmine.comnoreply@blogger.com
