    I am up early on Sunday on the east coast…

    So let me be the first to say Thank You back.

    In the past 5 weeks I have become part of a community of believers that for the most part only know each other through the written words of Blogs. There is true unadulterated love and acceptance in this community. and it all seems to center on Christ here at inProgress. Where the example is set. Most of us follow the same leader in Christ, and Tam shows this by offering love for everyone. … :)

    It has been fun to get to know you and Brent, and all the people involved. I have been truly blessed to get to know this community. Thank you for accepting a stranger from Kentucky in to this Church… Christ is present in this and it is apparent.

    In Love and Christ
    Carl

  9. 2008 July 27

    I love and have utmost respect for you my dear friend:)

  10. 2008 July 27

    ang – wow. thank you sweetness!

    mandy – well. yes. i love hugs. but i need to be fairly comfy with you before i plant one on ya! im actually a touchy-feely gal :D

    stegall – i wish i could ‘one-up’ your “macaroni necklace of love” – but dang it :? that is just tops! in fact. i think you’ve gone and outdone yourself there!

  16. 2008 July 27

    well taminator…i’m thinking brandy was really up there! haven’t seen half of those in real life let alone the wonderful world of you.com!

  17. 2008 July 27

    well….the chest bump can be slightly awkward…but makes for good discussion and interesting looks :D

    you.com??? see!!! you are brilliant!

  18. 2008 July 27

    ok.

    to anyone….

    are you a…

    side-hugger or full frontal hugger?

  19. 2008 July 27

    I’m a full frontal. Ross is a side hugger w/ men & a full frontal w/ women…he’s so sexist.

  20. 2008 July 27

    I HATE the side hug.

  21. 2008 July 27

    Full frontal, side hugs are just too weird these days! Unless you have multiple hugs to give then sides are acceptable! Love ya, good seeing you the other night I had fun with the kidos.

  22. 2008 July 27

    my “frontal hugs” [sounds quite scandelous, really] are reserved for friends…all others receive the side hug. Unless otherwise noted, I’m a hugger.

  23. 2008 July 27

    I am going to ditto Bwans comment…and if I am lovin you..girl you know…you just know…

  24. 2008 July 27

    ((((((right back))))))

    full or side? Well … it depends on the person. Boobs do become an issue, you know. :)

    and … you’re up next. I’ve been out of town for a week, so I’m going through blogs site by site. I had 62 new posts when I got back. SO you’re up now. This is the first of 11. Just to explain why you might see numerous comments from me. :)

  25. 2008 July 27

    ((( )))

    I love you so much Friend..

    You mean the World to me………… honestly one hug wouldn’t be enough!!!

  26. 2008 July 27

    Back at you Tam!

    Side hugger or full body – well it depends. Children get the full body hug and sometimes the bear hug (if they are mine or related). Most men get a side hug unless they are related.

  27. 2008 July 27

    Clarification – if its a kid I don’t know then its a side hug for them too.

  28. 2008 July 27

    WHOOOAAA … when the new blog look? That’s what I get for only reading via RSS and not clicking over to comment.

    I just came by to say, “aaah, that’s so schweet”.

    FM

  29. 2008 July 27

    hehe – i’m picturing all of us having that inner-mental conversation as a potential hugger approaches us…

    “oh shoot! it’s frank! i know him and he USED to be my cousins husband, so he’s kinda family so i should frontal him….but….i haven’t seen him in months and not so sure he’s ’stable’. oh no – there’s my pastors wife…what will she think if she sees me frontaling frank? maybe a side hug would be best? dang tho – what if that offends him? where’s an alien abduction when you need one?!?!”

  30. 2008 July 27

    Would everyone here pray for our family as we go through some troubling times. My dog who has been my best friend since 2001, and my daughter’s first friend since 2005 suddenly lost all use of his hind legs this morning. He and we need your prayers. Pray God gives us the strength and wisdom to see the right choices and follow through with them. Also pray for a miraculous healing. Thanks. Sorry to post this here Tam, but you blog is so well trafficked I figured maybe I could get lots of folks praying for my boy.

  31. 2008 July 27

    TT – please do not apologize. i am SO glad you put your request here!

    i have been praying since i got your e/m. please keep us posted friend….

  32. 2008 July 27

  33. 2008 July 27

  34. 2008 July 27

  35. 2008 July 27

    TT – prayers for sure – keep us posted as to what transpires.

  36. 2008 July 27

    aww, that’s sad! I’m praying right now.

  37. 2008 July 27

    TT-Praying for you too!

  38. 2008 July 27

    Thank you all for your prayers. I have posted a detailed update on my blog.

    I did want you to know that we had one great blessing. We took him to another vet clinic for a second opinion tonight. The doggy neurologist, who wasn’t supposed to be in, just happened to be there picking up something from his office at 11 p.m. He got a full neurological exam- just what he needed- from one of the best Neurologists at one of the best vet schools in the South- NC State.

    ).
    *bump*

    hehehehe

    Total, I’m swinging by your place next. ;-)

  40. 2008 July 28

    Morning all! And Tam too. I like to new look Tam! Slick.

    For the record, I only return hugs. Well, unless you are a close relative.

  41. 2008 July 28

    ok, so i just met a “non-hugger” and feel completely awkward when I see her, never know what to do…shake hands, high five, uh…chest bump? She said something about being a mid-westerner…what in the heck does that have to do w/ it? Does the corn do something to the head?

  42. 2008 July 28

    God is the provider and caretaker for all the plants, trees and animals of the earth.

    Watch my God be glorified today.

  43. 2008 July 28

    i’m a hugger of those i love. but not a group-hugger. group hugs just seem like more fluff than anything.

    i want a real hug, tam.

    “but not one of these sideways, one arm around the neck type hugs.

    or the ghetto right hand, clasped fist, elbows to chest, pat pat on the back back.

    or the you put your right arm over my left arm and i’ll put my right arm under your left arm and we make this weird sort of diagonal thing.

    no, none of those.

    bear hug me, man.

    take your … arms and throw them around my upper body leaving my arms dangling underneath yours somewhere, and i can barely move them because you’re squeezing me so hard.

    but don’t pick me up and make my back pop because i hate it when people do that.”

    (the hug poem segment compliments of bradley hathaway.)

  44. 2008 July 28

    Alece….that was hilarious! haha! Love it!

    But I do make Jake hug me so my back pops. :lol:

  45. 2008 July 28

    thanks, BM.

    and i sometimes have niel pop my back like that, too… but never during a real hug!

  46. 2008 July 28

    i missed where “BM” came from.

    well… i know where bm comes from…but is bwan BM now?

  47. 2008 July 28

    Bran Muffin = BM

  48. 2008 July 28

    Thanks for the hug, Tam…

    …I really needed that.

  49. 2008 July 28

    bm – ahhhhhh!!! thanks alece! you my hero chick!

    Nor – any. time. ;)
