Maybe it's my imagination working overtime but it seems that many of us here, myself included, have been, or are, going through some really tough times. 2007 sure hasn't started off the way I had hoped it would. Anyway, I thought it would be nice to have a thread set aside for the express purpose of giving a hug or twenty to those who could use one at any given moment. I want to give a great big hug to BEAT and Doris for all the health issues they're having to battle right now. I want to also give a big hug to Barb, Lisa, Jayne, Clare and Charlotte, and Jana for having to struggle with some tough situations right now. I also want to pass along a big hug to Dorothy and Emilee for feeling blue. You're among friends here. I want to give a HUGE hug to Betsy, Lisa, Barb and Judy for being there for me when the walls seemed to be closing in. I can't begin to tell you how much you have helped.

Great idea! ---and I could really use one right now meself, 'cause I got yelled at by the Mods @ Macca for posting about Beatnut.
All I wanted to do was give those there a chance to know & send their good wishes. Sniff.

That's so sweet of you Bev, I really could use a hug right now. Being a parent is hard at the best of times, but doing it totally on your own is so difficult. Charlotte's feeling lots better now after much TLC, now her Mum needs some. |

HUGS from me to anyone who needs it... there are so many people going through tough times at the moment - it almost feels as if I could be perceived as being glib by offering a sentence or two of condolence here and there, but I do care - more than I can really express. I hope that 2007 gets a lot better for a lot of people.

Hugs all around to everyone, especially those going through a rough patch now. I wish we could box up all these hugs and send them to Beat. Bev, thanks so much for your hug and your appreciation. Anytime girl! |

HUGS to all of you here who need one today. I don't always express my feelings, but I do think of the people here who are going through rough times and hope that things will improve for you. I read your posts and feel your pain, unhappiness, sadness, etc. and wish you better days ahead. Take care everyone. |

Thanks (((((Bev))))), Sending more hugs your way too. I hope life getting a bit sunnier.
Sorry to hear of others having health issues, makes mine feel not so bad. Although the days I can't walk because of pain, totally suck. I have to go to the bathroom before I need to know I have to go! :lol: :lol: :lol: :wacko: TMI(((Linda))) One more month and you'll be done with the crazy hours. Hope your not being paid salary and your earning a few $$$$ to splurge on yourself! (((Laura))) Don't worry what the mods think. You know what we think of them! :wacko: You were only being nice and we all know that.(((Clare))) I too remember what it was like to be a single parent. Fortunately, my formers were pretty good at taking the kids regularly. But there's no relieve on the daily basis, plus just struggling to make ends meet, and taking care of everyone. I got to be a very strong person, raising 4 kids, being divorced. I also grew my own *balls....golden balls, as I call them* that gave me a strong backbone to deal with life. (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))) For all that need them. |

I'm being paid hourly, but the extra hours are comp time, not OT. I think starting in May, I go to part time--20 hours a week. After the last two months, I am so looking forward to it. I basically have no personal life right now. Thanks, Dean. You know I think of you as a true friend. I have so many wonderful friends here and you guys are helping me get through this work situation. I have never been so sleep deprived in my life. |

Everyone else here has helped as well... I may not know you guys as well as the other 3 but I do appreciate your encouragement and friendship. Hugs to the entire board from me... as many as you'd like... Dean |

A big hug to Jayne and her "witch" Kristine. I hope you finally managed to get some rest and that your daughter is feeling well.
Another hug to Lisa -- I hope you get your mom's caregiver issues sorted out soon. She's very lucky to have such a caring daughter. Here's a hug for Linda, who sounds as if she's burning her candle down both sides and around the middle. I hope you'll remember to make some time for yourself this weekend. Here's a hug for Lauren. Sounds like you've been through some tough times recently. I don't have your cell number or email, but I can still show you my concern here. I hope you'll accept my gesture of friendship, as it's sincerely meant. And hugs to Betsy and Rose for bringing sunshine to this board today. You never know how much someone somewhere might really need it!
