Two Things to Share and I'm Out of Here

First: MY TIP FOR MEN EVERYWHERE
I have been in the company of some guy friends recently and here is my tip, it doesnt matter what the relationship of the women to you, but DO NOT, I repeat if you are tempted FLEE, I SAY! and DO NOT say in the presence of another woman other than your mother "Whoa that girl was georgeous!" or "hot" or any other such synonym, unless you are referring to a mirror reflecting the countenance of the girl you are with. I dont care if I am your friend, and you are not going to clarify that situation by saying such things, the only thing you are going to do is tell me YOU are an insensitive ass and I AM a less attractive girl by far then the one you have just referenced. May I add a disclaimer than I am in no way in some men bashing mood, I just realized that it appears you guys didnt realize this was hurtful, by the number of times I've heard it in the last year.

SECOND: HOLDING HANDS
Okay so I am writing a book on touch, just small vignettes interspersed with prayers. Today I decided to write on holding hands. I have actually started two relationships that have been pretty nice, by the signifigance of holding hands. One I just reached out and grabbed his hand and he commented later that he was surprised by it and liked it (and I guess me too) and the other was my first love, Brian, he had told me he didnt hold hands with just girl friends, but those he was romantically interested in he did, so as he reached out and grabbed my hand across the table one night it was communicating he was no longer interested in a girl he had broken up with but WAS with me. Well I love Brian and not to step on his grave but why dont we hold hands as friends??? It is so deeper than a sexual urge, but I think is just the sweetest comfort. To me it is like an adult version of a kid jumping in your lap and curling up! What do you think of hand holding?

Sorry I gotta run to do a massage. I will look for a response later!
