WHAT is the matter with people today? **a little bit of language**
Ditto. That's such a good thing to say, AC.
As for the hugging thing.. uhhhhh it usually takes a while. Sometimes I'm impulsive and hug people, but I really have to know you and be comfortable with you. When people are very huggy when they first meet me it actually freaks me out... I have a friend who's very hands on, usually has an arm around your shoulder or waist, hugs you, rests her head on you... it made me VERY uncomfortable around her for a few months until I got to know her better.

I'm glad things have changed !!! Everyone needs a hug ! I love it when I'm at Nash's and he says " time for a group hug ! " and we all do ! I'm glad that with sincere feelings I could hug our Barb when I first met her at the airport . I'm glad that I had the compassion to get up and hug a complete stranger at the vets as I saw her leave an examination room in tears hugging an empty blanket . She just sobbed and thanked me for understanding . Worse hug ??? When I met my future SIL 50 years ago , the eve of my brother's wedding . I ran up to her arms extended and said " I've always wanted a sister ! " She threw my arms down and said " I have 2 sisters " . Guess you can guess , she's the same to this day !
As I've gotten older (and bitchier) I've stopped ignoring comments like that too. It's probably not the nicest thing to do, but if someone wants to make comments about my appearance, I'm perfectly happy to return the favor and I find it funny that the people who will snicker at me for being fat or unattractive are not exactly model material themselves. 
LOL. People like that only say those things to feel better about their own physical and mental shortcomings, which they just HOPE I'll overlook? Heh.
I still might go home and cry over certain comments, but at least I know that they didn't get the reaction they hoped for out of me. They might joke around with their friends but when they go home, I bet they feel empty inside.
As for hugs.. I'm not a hugger. My family isn't especially touchy and neither am I, but I still like hugs from people I love.

LOL Renne, I have also heard " I may be fat, and I can fix it. But you just can't fix stupid"
I was bullyed althrou out school and will admit it got the best of me, to where I acutally almost feared going becuase of what would/could be said.
Now I'm out of that stage and DARE someone to say something to me. So many times I wish I could go back in time and just rip them a new one.

Nancy. The whole pretty teacher more intelligent thing is not infact predjudice. Children act on base instinct. More attractive people generally have stronger genetics and are therefore more desireable as breeding partners. The children were responding to instinct.
I saw that on a show called The Science of Sex. It is a BBC Prime production.

Hehehe, I have heard that one too but it was worded just a tad different "I am fat, you are stupid..............I can diet" and I think it was W.C. Fields.
And AC, I know you lost your temper on those punks and rightfully so, but they just aren't worth your time or putting yourself in danger over.
((((((((HUGS))))))))) It's far more important to be beautiful on the inside than out, and you are both...........just ask Rob.
