Login, that IS interesting about the non-huggers. I am one of 4 children adopted at birth by my parents. We were all brought home directly from the hospital by my mom and dad. Both of my parents were pretty affectionate, expecially my mom, and they were desperate for children, so I am sure we were showered with affection from the time we were placed in their arms. What I don't know is how long it was between our births til we were given to them. Out of the 4 of us, 2 were cuddlers, and 2 were non-cuddlers. It would be interesting to know if us 2 non-cuddlers had a longer lag period between birth and placement. If so, I think it would have been a matter of maybe only hours, or at most a day, but alas, my parents are both dead now so I have no one to ask. It's certainly food for thought, though, and I appreciate the education! |

Baldur actually enjoys hugs and comes from a very non-huggy family. |

I had a supervisor many years ago who bestowed hugs like blessings. She must have read somewhere that they foster camaraderie. It was always a rather awkward hug though. |

When enjoying (Baldur is being diplomatic) the company of my mother and sisters the extent of the physical contact is the briefest peck on the cheek. |

Miss Noelle does have a propensity (+7 points) for getting Daddy in trouble. |

One of our long standing traditions were my scrambling of holidays. |

Baldur got his first CD player when Miss Noelle was barely 4 years old. |

Baldur, you were a fun Dad, well probably still ARE a fun Dad. I adore the wild and wacky and it would have thrilled me to note St. Massacre Day with cheese, carve pumpkins on Christmas, etc. Love the picture I have of a four year old working the CD player. Good for you and good for her. Hope the guidance counselor did not need therapy after what your daughter said. (giggle). |

I think Baldur should take more than a paltry 12 points for the word Antihugipathy. It must be worth at least +25. (Also I'm taking +5 for the use of paltry) |

Robin, loved the story about your son, mistletoe and aversion to hugs! Smiled when reading your comments because you are *so* not the only one with hugging or touch issues! As Baldur said, there are some people you just don't want to hug. [And, agreement here with Dragon's points for recent word useages.] : ) |

Wow, that song takes me back. Since it's kind of slow going for the musical segment (only one song), here's a contribution. Wanted to put in Connie Dover's rendition of "Wicked John and the Devil," but alas, if it was on youtube couldn't find it. Anyway, the one below has pretty pics that go with it. |

Wrong devil song. Here's right song and lyrics. Connie Dover is a local artist (although she sang in one of Mel Gibson's movies - Braveheart? not sure). Anyway, every year she sings this Devil song at the Weston, MO Irish Fest. It's gets the croud giggling. |

Thanks for this musucal interlude ... I'm off to slumberland now, with that haunting melody still in my ears. Goodnight all. |

Yes, Login - Ireland's beautiful thought I've only seen it through pictures. My great-grandmother hails from Ireland. She never got back to visit but her daughter, my grandmother, did. Probably still have relatives there. Keep dreaming I'll get there someday. |
