    Can you believe that people are actually giving out less hugs and people are not receiving as many hugs now compared to ten years ago? That's according to a study by University of South Carolina.

    That sucks!

    I am not a big huger, and I only feel comfortable hugging someone if I am really close to them.  When I met my uncle for the first time at sixteen he was disappointed because I did not want to hug him, but hey, I just am a bit more reserved that way than some people.

    You have to think of your boobs as protection, therefore, "bumpers" to prevent damage in a "crash." Bumpers cars is a particular favorite of mine...

    I need a hug.
    No, I lied. I need lots of hugs.
    Life is good but I won't settle for good. Lots of hugs make it spectacular.

      You have to watch those bumpers...my husband observed that they can be more like closed head trauma for those not being protected by them tongue

    Here in Hawaii we always hug and kiss on the cheek. When the swine flu came they had to stop us from hugging so much - maybe that is why it is in decline. Afraid of the bug - virtual hugs are okay - HUG!!
