hey Pj ... i have said it before but i'll risk being boring and repeating myself by

saying it again ...

if you wanna receive love you gotta give off love ...

if you give off misery ... hatred ... negative vibes etc ...

that's all you'll ever get back and thats a fact ...

Fine, he has one of those colds where all the mucus goes down the throat and it clogged his ear, so hence the pain. Now he's fine. Had to go buy a humidifier, man they are expensive.

The Therapeutic Value of Touch

For thousands of years, mothers have instinctively known about touch's effectiveness: pick up young children and they'll stop crying... gently rub babies' backs and it's off to sleep they go. Now scientists are also coming to recognize the power of touch -- and not just touch therapies such as reflexology, but simple acts such as giving a backrub, holding hands, sharing a hug or putting your arm around someone. With research demonstrating the healing power of touch, more hospitals are incorporating massage programs into care protocols for cancer and cardiovascular patients, among others.

Tiffany Field, PhD, director of the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine, has studied the benefits of touch for many years. Her book, Touch, reviews medical and sociological research on the importance of touch to good health and also argues that the Western world, including the medical profession, has marginalized and minimized its importance. Dr. Field offers that many forms of touch can help reduce pain, anxiety, depression and aggressive behavior... promote immune function and healing... lower heart rate and blood pressure... and improve air flow in asthmatics.

So shoo now ... go hug someone!!!

As a mother i learned first hand the power of touch, when Jacob was an infant when he would wake up crying, all i had to do was put my hand on his cheek and he would quite crying and go right back to sleep.

and now if he's upset about something the first thing he wants is for mamma to hold him.

touch is a powerful thing when it comes to comforting someone, i guess it's a need for human contact!

This hug is for my son (who I miss dearly) and Thank you CP for your hug!

I miss you

in life

when i look ahead

you aint here to smile at me....

I miss you

I miss your hugs

the way you put your arms around me

Oh i just wish I could make you see

That every night your in my head

like all the love has just over fled ohh..

I just want you to know..

It's a fundamental principal of astrology; there is a correlation between zodiac signs and relationships.

Depending on your sign, each relationship in your life and the qualities you bring to it will vary greatly. Since each zodiac sign sees the world through a different lens, no two people will have the same view of a relationship.

We are all really different people and it is interesting to know more about ourselves as well as other people, to understand them better.

so click on this link and get the character traits for your sign and see how close they are to the real you!

Okay here were my results!:wah:

You are a hopeless romantic. You require ample doses of warmth and sentiment. You embroider your fantasies; they titillate you and lift you out of the ordinary. You are the cockeyed optimist of song, a dreamy, maybe impractical idealist, the willing victim of infatuation!:wah::wah::-4
