( Saturday NO PO) National Hugging Day & National Squirrel Appreciation Day

Post by Z is for Zangie » Sat Jan 21, 2023 2:53 am

I am a big proponent of hugging, though with my personal space issues, only for very special people I am close to for the most part. I endure them sometimes for social politeness reasons or family reasons, but, when I choose to do them it is because the recipient is special. And I am more comfortable giving them to men rather than women oddly. I know squirrels can be pests in some ways, but they can also be cute and fun...I used to have one come to the door on my mobile home and scratch the screen door for a treat...lol..most likely because the woman I bought it from used to feed him. He was always cute and good.

Good for Buzz. At 63 she's only 30 years his junior.

I have a lot of respect for mister Edwin Eugene "Buzz" Aldrin, but at the same time I don't like him much. In spite of his numerous and laudable accomplishments, he can be a bit of an asshole. Nevertheless, I wish him all the happiness for all the years he has left.

I know very little about Anca Faur, other than she doesn't look 63. She does look like she's had some work done.
