I'm actually feeling bad now for all the folks being subjected to virtual squishy hugs against their will. I'm sorry if I've hugged any of you and added to your discomfort!

I also know, I'm not going to be able to remember who likes hugs, who tolerates them, and who really hates them...

I wonder... if you don't want hugs... would it be worth adding just a small note or symbol to your signature, so others know and can avoid it? I'm picturing a tiny picture of a red circle with a slash across it, then maybe next to that something like, "No hugs please!". (I was looking at pictures that have the circle/slash with the word "hugs" in the middle, but I think that would be hard to do small enough to fit in a signature, and still be readable).

I'm not a graphic artist... I'm trying in MS Paint, but my circles look pretty raggedy! Anyone else want to take a stab at one?

(Oh and I ****love**** cookies, but really am trying to get my health stuff under control and am avoiding gluten, so definitely not the best for me! Especially if I'm already stressed/hurting, pics of yummy delicious cookies are going to send me straight out the door looking for some real ones!!! )
