This is great and if we go braless we don't even have to lift our shirts to flash our boobs.

I want the first hat in the middle row with the pink fluffies on it. I'm a pink fluffy kinda girl.

Newman ran and hid when the Baby Boomers Went Wild and started talking about boobies.

Can we talk? My pet peeve lately has been all the darn hugging that has become a common practice everywhere I go. Does this bother anyone else? Please say yes.

I was born in the forties and I must admit that I rarely remember being hugged by anyone other than my parents. It just wasn't done....and yet....I felt very loved.

When did this become so common? To tell you the truth.....I can't stand it. I've already been sick twice this winter and I blame it on being attacked by friends that I have run into while Christmas shopping. I can see it coming and I just want to cringe. Last Sunday I ran into two ladies I used to work with....and believe me....I didn't think a hug was needed at all.....and now I blame them that I am sick just before our family Christmas. I still have shopping to do....and am just too sick to go out.

At a recent Christmas party....it was hugs all around....with people I rarely even see. It's just gotten out of hand, if you ask me.

Even when a neighbor comes over to visit...it seems that it has to end with a hug as a thank you. I just don't get it.

Watch old movies on TCM....you don't see it happening there. It just wasn't done. Back then a touch on the arm or a little rub on the back was good enough to say "It was so nice to see you again."

All this touchy feelie stuff just makes me so uncomfortable. I think that I am a loveable person and people seem to enjoy being around me....and I enjoy people also....but I honestly can do without all these hugs.

I am older than a baby-boomer, so maybe that's the problem, but I do try to stay up with the times....but this is one that I just don't like.

Does anyone agree with me that it has gone too far?....or, am I the only nutty one?

I don't mind the hugging if it is heartfelt. It's the phony ones that I don't like. People should not assume it is okay to hug you though. They should respect your space.

However, I intensely dislike people who come out in public when they are sick and spread the wealth. When you are sick you know you are sick. STAY HOME! Especially don't come to work where people do not have the opportunity to avoid you and your germs. You have no idea how susceptible people around you are to your germs and everytime you touch something you spread them.

I worked with 2 women for 4 years who never stayed home, came to work and made everyone else in the office sick and then would not only brag about how they have never had to use their sick leave but complain when the rest of us did. Everyone in the office hated those 2 women and this was one of the biggest reasons.

Springer, a little similar to that (sort of) . . . . When I go to church -- it's Lutheran. I hadn't been in quite a few years until just a few years ago. So now at some point during the service, you turn to those around you (strangers), shake hands, and say "Peace be with you." When did that start happening? No thank you. I don't like it -- whatever the reason for it.

Springer, I was born in the 40s too and was with you until you said a rub on the back was ok. Ack I got chills thinking about that.lol I like hugs from kids. They really mean it. I try to avoid hugging otherwise. Handshakes are ok as a greeting but "peace be with you" ones I can easily do without.

It is true, Mocha never, ever hugs. Absolutely not.

I am old, and there didn't used to be all this hugging stuff, I agree.

However, I actually like it. I don't hug everybody indiscriminately. And I would never hug somebody if I were sick. I don't even shake hands if I am sick. Nor will I shake hands with somebody if I think they are sick. If they tried, I would just say something like, "oops, better not, looks like you are sick." And I would expect them to understand they should not be hugging or shaking hands if they are sick. And if they don't understand, then they are too stupid for me to associate with.
