Hey Ronda, that great! Maybe we should all try that next? In LSL. It reminds me of my early teen days with the "flower children" If they could take the drugs away, and just have that "Flower Children" feeling again. Make love and not War! Wouldn't that be fabulous.

Ronda,

What a beautiful idea! Thankyou for putting this out. All the hugged people walked away with huge smiles. Just another reason to love this place. Amazing what a hug can do isnt it? ;D

Hugs given unconditional and in the true Village spirit.

How beautiful.

Thanks

OK, next adventure............FREE TOTV Hugs....Is this copywrite infringement??? :dontknow: Who are those huggers and how can we get permission to use their idea?? This could be like the freeze! 040 040 040 or we could just borrow the thought and change it a bit to 024 .....HUGS FOR CHARITY!! But then again, we could get arrested for indecent touching!!!! :cop: That would surely make page 1 of The Daily!!!! Then the AP would pick it up, oh my!!! 1rnfl

Depends I guess on a person's "culture" how they feel about it all.

Some folk may say "wow, that's nice" and others will day "watch out for the pickpocket."

However, the first guy who walks up to my spouse at LSL and hugs her unexpectedly may find out what it feels to be prone on the sidewalk.

Now you know why i have a fear of hugging random people, it could be Steve's wife. I'll keep my hands to myself during my visit, I promise. I may want to kiss the ground when i get to TV but not in a forceable way.

Steve - Are you sure you didn't get this thread confused with the "There will be blood" thread?

It should be safe to wave from my golf cart - right?

Russ,

Apparently I was unclear and gave the impression that it would be me who would place a person prone on the sidewalk - my spouse has her opinions about random hugs and is quite capable of "exercising her opinion." I just happen to agree and will "support."

Waving from golf carts is my tactic - much safer and allows a quick getaway.....

As The Villages Freeze was based on the Grand Central Station Freeze, the Free Hugs Campaign in TV was based on this true story video of John Mayer. Free Hugs has traveled around the world.
