Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for November 23, 2024

Food.

Works for me, especially if my hubby is providing both.

Food and a good beverage will do for me.

Food. Definitely food.

Food and wine.

Both. But also with the same necessity: Peace and quiet, time for myself, paper and a pen, books, sudoku and the comics. And sometimes wool and needles to knit socks.

I’m a firm believer in “A hug a day” More is better too.

It’s not even T’Day yet and already I’m lonely. :sigh:

Not a hugger, sorta like Seinfeld. Greatly depends on who is doing the hugging. Not especially crazy about shaking hands either.

CASH

I doubt she’s alone!

Skip the hug. It took over three months of being on disability leave to even consider full hugs to people I missed. Less than a month later I’m down to one armed bro hugs and should be back to no physical contact again soon!

I’d appreciate a “Thank you” once in a while.

Go for the trifecta and add_____________?

Same here. I’ll be getting some of each today.

Well, I’m not going to offer Aunty anything more than that.

Definitely! Add a touch of the Chocolate and ALL good : )

Well considering that whiskey, gin, rum, bourbon, scotch, and tequila to name a few, are all food products, you should be happy all the time Aunty.

Bong hit.

A nice glass of wine works too.

Full Disclosure: I’m an extremely selective hugger. There are maybe 5 or 6 people I’ll hug, & they’re all immediate family or my closest friends. Everyone else, hands off!

You don’t have to sugar coat it, we know what you really like.

Yup but sometimes I go into solitude and reflect, a glass of wine with me, myself and I plus my most constant companion my guitar.

Works for me, if the food is chocolate and the hug is from a cat.

Yes!

add a beer, and I’m gold!

Or a good movie. . . .

Hugs are given freely in Mexico, which is one reason that I’m glad I live here. “A hug a day keeps the blues away”.

Obvious from the comments that not everyone experiences the joys of life in the same way, Aunty. However, as I am recently coming off an illness that left me fatigued and with little appetite (but with a loving wife looking out for me all the time), I’m with you on this one 100%!

For me it is a good cry and a hug, I have had several good cries today but need a hug but nobody to give one to me, Dad is not a hugger and Mom, who gives the best hugs when needed, is 4200 miles away. I am so sad today, I miss my sister so much.
