Couch 183: Stroopwafel salted caramel.

Oh! I read that post when I was lurking around. Yes.. doc John said use 4 or more (((( around a persons name and I think someone suggested not to add the persons name inside and just add the word hug so like
(((((HUGS))))) ART- or something like that.

ETA- I had no idea either until I read that thread.

I agree.

Una is like super informed.

I agree. So a hate group has decided to use parenthesis as a weapon of hate. So what? The context is totally different. No one here is assuming you are calling their religion out by using parenthesis to hug someone.

Not at all. Your fine.

I didn't know about it either Art, and I don't think you should have stayed away. We enjoy having you around.

New cat did not want me to leave this morning, but I had an exam to give. As soon as I get through with Info, I’m heading home to snuggle with her.

I'm sorry ATAT. Kit.

stop it! una was just informing us Don’t leave.

Good idea. Cats really don't understand non-independently wealthy minions.

I picture exhankter running around with a clip board and pince-nez.

How old is new cat?

Dont you dare! i just noticed there were a bunch of hug posts in a row, and you were the person i knew the best, and so i hoped least likely to take offense.

Ooooo those glasses are kinda groovy.

I can't picture Una for some reason.

I picture you in a smart suit, fierce like Annalise Keating going up against a fancy smanchy judge.

@@ I see reading in library room with candles burning surrounded by piles and piles of wonderful books.

No just my poops

ewwwww

Scenario

You're working on a drawing, when grief ambushes you from behind. Do you:

1. Grab tissues and continue working on the drawing
2. Allow the emotion to come, and abandon the drawing for now?
3. Stifle the emotion, and walk away from the drawing?

I am currently exploring the potential of 3, but that means no drawing for Thursday.

I'd probably end up with tears all over said drawing. There's no right answer. It's okay to take a break if you need to and to come back when you're ready.

Close. Except not running, just slouching on my tailbone, feet up, android in hand, and glasses pushed on top of my head. But otherwise, yeah, exactly like that!

Option one. See what comes. Kit.

I'm not afraid of rectal exams. They were actually used twice at the walk in surgery clinic I was at last week.

Three years and two months or so.

I didn't take offense at all, I just suddenly felt terrible that I might have hurt someone unintentionally. This world we live in can be crazy making sometimes!!

You know me una I'd rather run away again than hurt someone here.

I've been using the slur all my internet life and never knew it was a slur. I guess internet hugs can be just as offensive as real life hugs.

Couch friends, I don't have a hug button on tapatalk, and I won't continue to use the slur, so read the thanks as hugs if a hug is called for.

SMH.
