Just for the record when people have given me cyber hugs, I can feel them. and no I don't see dead people, lol. Sometimes we don't know what to say when someone is hurting or having a rough time and a lil cyber hug can make them feel just a little better so no harm. I love tvch too, have never felt anybody who I converse with was/is fake at all.

I've seen/felt a lot of niceness (if that is a word) and I have also seen/felt plenty of superficial fakeness as well as a heavier almost disturbing fakeness. You just gotta use your brain and your instincts when on-line.

I've, unfortunately, been burnt by a few people online <93> and it's made me cautious. The sad thing about things like this is it makes those of us who are exactly who we say we are pay the price, too. I try to stay out of the drama now and create a minimum of my own, although sometimes the bad angel wins and I get caught up in stuff too much. I guess that's being human.

What an interesting thread. I also learned stuff online the hard way and I've also pulled back from the drama of it all. And I've thoroughly enjoyed giving Mocha a hug when she was such a rascal and resistant to them...lol!! I've also been priviledged to give Mocha a hug in person at least two times that I can recall and she gives the best hugs!!!

I've sent Mocha hugs, too! (never met her in person, though) I am a mush. I hug and really mean it. And I know that the hugs I've received when I've most needed them have sure been a comfort.

I am a big hugger in person and on the Internet. I come from a big family and they are all big on hugging. When I met my husbands family they were really reserved.I have worn them down though cause my Mother and Father In law hug all the time now too!

It has ALWAY been all about me! ME ME ME!!

Update: Hawk fan says bathroom sex scandal "ruined my life" STACI HUPP • shupp@dmreg.com • November 26, 2008 A Carroll woman who was caught having sex in the men's room at an Iowa Hawkeye football game in Minneapolis last weekend says she’d had so much wine before kickoff that she doesn’t remember walking into the restroom, the man she had sex with in a stall, or when the police opened the door. What Lois Feldman, 38, will remember is the humiliation afterward. “It’s ruined my life,” she said through tears today. “Not just the incident but the press.” http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=200881126006 ------------------------- Dayum!!

Well, I hadn't heard about it before, but I'm betting an "Update" to the story is just going to make things more well known. LOL I have to say I feel bad for her. I mean, people cheat on people, people have sex with people they shouldn't, people even are stupid/drunk enough to have sex in bathroom stalls, but usually it doesn't end up having them lose their jobs, gets harassed by people in the street and get offensive prank phone calls. I have to say I'm surprised she lost her job over it. The article says she wants to fight the ticket, but I'd think she'd have better luck fighting her dismissal. It wasn't related to her job, it was a minor ticket (not like she was charged with manslaughter or something) so I can't see where they would be able to fire her with just cause.

Iowa is an "at will" state. Unless you have a contract, you can be let go for any reason, with or without notice, with or without severance. So she can't fight being fired, but unemployment? Depends on her contract. Being an administrator there might be something in there about public conduct, and public intoxication charges would definitely violate it. I have had one employment contract here in Iowa [the other job did not require a contract to be signed], and it too stated it was "at will" although it was put in that while not required it was expected I give at least a 2 week notice to leave but the company should not be expected to give any notice. After all their letting people go immediately with no warning, and my warning my boss that if they cut another in our office it had better be me, I walked in on a Friday and told my boss that it was my last day. Nothing they could do. It was in my contract that I wasn't legally or morally obligated to give them notice and they couldn't give me a bad reference. Actually tho they couldn't give any reference to any employee, personal or business. Could just verify employment and wages and that I filled my contract obligations. Company policy. As far as being sorry for her? Let's just say not everything is being reported and I'm not all that sorry for her or her husband. Her kids, I'm really sorry for. Imagine having to go to school after all the local tv stations and newspapers have reported that your mom was arrested after having sex with a man but not the man she was married to. The kids are the real victims.

I just wonder if she had something else with the wine though.
