A quick show of hands in here. How many of you hug coworkers at the end of the day? How many hug coworkers that you have no interest in whatsoever?

I've hugged a couple of guy friends / colleagues before after particularly trying times in their relationships / lives. I don't mind saying that. No interest there whatsoever.

As far as women at work, I've only hugged a very few current co-workers. The most recent exception was giving a hug to our receptionist-probably 20 years my senior-after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. I asked her if I could give her a hug and was pleased that she accepted the affection with gladness. No interest whatsoever.

I would be particularly wary embracing opposite sex coworkers that I found even remotely attractive or desirous. One of my coworkers-young, smart, athletic, good looking, etc. lost her husband from a sudden heart attack. I conveyed my condolences through 'official' channels.

It's even more touchy when one is an owner. it is so important to keep everything on a business level.

I went to the my Doctor 2x days ago with swollen feet and lower legs, and ended up in hospital in our Provençal city. I think I'll stay away from my Doctor in future. So apparently I'm stuck here until they find the what is happening.

Woof! I hug Abby the Hamster Dog all the time: she's a girl and seems to dig it. Then I hug Delialah the squeak-toy foster dog, and she's a girl too, and she's diggin it. And sometimes I scratch their butts right above where their tails come out and the things they do with their posteriors could run a motor.

Woof! Humans are just so sensually miniscule. Maybe the bigger the brain, the smaller the honest sensory input it is capable of receiving.

Woof! Know a gal who says my hugs are the best. No dick, just friend on friend, deep and close.

Woof! Anyone who thinks a hug is offensive is either a Dom/Fem or a Politico/Whacko; neither of which deserves much attention.

Hugs (and kisses) Ciao. John

I hope the nurses are pretty, you have good internet access and you get lots of time with AE.

She is. I'm gonna catch up with her in late April. Thats a chunk of time.

That really is some chunk of time.

Try to see the positive things - you can hang around here and socialize more with us

Oi! Unless you're soaking in a hot tub or the warm waters of the South Pacific, that's the only good fluid around your organs and stomach, mate. Get better soon!

Just a point of order, Per. Is spending time online with social deviants really "socializing"? Isn't it more "De-socializing" as in devolution?

... Devolution? That would be Darwinism going backwards? That would mean us getting stupider the longer we hang around here ... ... No, that can't be the case

I moved to Stockholm just some 1.5 years ago. Before that I lived in Luleå for 44 years. I even had a LHF season card for ~15 years up until the mid-nineties.

Anyway, congratulations on the win, even if it felt like a robbery!

You live in Gävle?

This is my first, feeble attempt at such a thing. I have no clue what I am doing, so decided to go with a real picture I could cut down. Then decided to use a very simple description. Man do I have a lot to learn. This is all I could muster up during tax season. I will keep working on it

As an aside, I did a little research on the Tennessee's tour of duty. Sort of interesting how Art imitates life. She was awarded 10 Battle stars. She mainly supported ground troops one way or another,getting to blow the crap out of more than a dozen islands. She also participated in the Battle of Surigao Strait. And that is pretty much what my BB's do in my game, blow up stuff on land, and MAYBE get in a scrap with an enemy BB now and again

(2nd attempt to post this, wierd)


The Tennessee is my favorite BB from the ones sitting in Pearl Harbor on December 7, mainly because I was born in Savannah, Tennessee while dad was the historian at Shiloh battlefield. So guess what happened at the start of my PBEM against ChezDaJez? Yep, the Tennessee was the only BB sunk in his attack...
