Hello, dear friends, kogs, kosmopolitans, kosniacs and everyone -
We've all seen hugs and kisses virtually exchanged around here. Someone shares the loss of a pootie, someone else unburdens themselves after a long night in the ER, a third mourns the loss of a friend. And a flurry of hugs and kisses follow - {{{{{{{{{dear}}}}}}}}, ::smoochies:: and many another iconic representation.
Just a few characters on the screen, just a few electrons, just a few photons passing from the screen to our eyes, and yet again and again I've seen (and sometimes received) comfort from these virtual affections. A mystery, but a dear one.
Life has been hard lately (not that you need telling that) and I recently ran into a diary of mine from a year ago that offered hugs. Many folks wanted them then and I am guessing would enjoy one now [or a handshake, for the more reserved, which looks like this: ||*( ]
So here it is. Would you like a (virtual) hug or (electronic) smoochies? Just drop a comment and I'll share one with you! Anyone else who wants to join in, feel free!
