Oh he does, does he? Just because he is a newbie? And you just joined in May of this year.... so relatively speaking you are quite the newbie yourself I think.
I was trying hard to be "lightened up". Didn't you see my "LOL"? And I did add a comment that the "hug" may indeed give some a much needed chuckle, now didn't I? I was just using your "hug" trap to point out a metaphor to you. You do know what a metaphor is, don't you? If anything I said was taken to be said with a hateful voice, then please forgive me for that was not my intention. That's one of the problems in forum posting when we can't see the posters smiles or hear the tone of their voices. Perhaps we need those silly little emoticons here in Free Republic so we can indicate our tone of voice.
