If you want to go sweet instead of sweet/fatty/smoky/salty, grilling the pineapple pieces with a dash of cinnamon is pretty yummy.

Potato chips in a microwave?

Short version: it’s a psychological horror/monster movie that Netflix accidentally put in the category “LGBT Films” which people turned into a running joke that the titular monster is gay.

#1 Tip: Never go outside. If you do have to go outside, like camping, camp at a hotel. ^_^

Maybe it’s because I have a degree in compsci and math, but I was really hoping this article would end with an actual number (“7 times per month”) based on the headline instead of a big wishy-washy “It depends”

If you believe in God and think that God made Man in His image, why wouldn’t you believe that God gave Man the intelligence to heal? Why don’t you see medicine as God answering prayers to heal? I mean, I don’t see these same people praying to God when their cars need an oil change.

Please do not eat cephalopods like octopus or squid, they are far too close to the sapiency line. They are definitely self aware and able to process information at least as well as middle era hominids.

My brother did this to my now-wife when I first started bringing her home with me. She found that if you start turning away before the hug even starts, it helps to make the positioning awkward enough that the hug can’t last too long. It’s kind of halfway between a normal hug and the conservative christian “side hug”…

Tell your husband you are uncomfortable and make him run interference. He can get in the way of any hugs until you’re outta there. Otherwise stiff-arm Cousin Creepy to keep him at a distance and say loudly, “I’M NOT REALLY A HUGGER.” You might have to say it a few times to make the point.

I was going to suggest that, but seeing as this thread is already 100 posts long it’s not surprising someone else got there first. lol

THIS IS NOT OKAY! IF YOUR HUSBAND DOESN’T TAKE YOUR SIDE GET THERAPY!

Read some articles about how to teach children to say no to unwanted touch:

church hug. One arm, from the side, no full body contact.

That’s the time to say something like “Why are you touching my arm?” (and, if necessary, “please stop now”).

Possibilities:
1. No hugs, I’m catching a cold. Just waves!
2. Hold tons of luggage and a purse across your chest, lean forward and back quickly.
3. Cut out the middleman and just step aside quickly so he lurches off balance and falls.
4. Enlist your husband in hug blocking.
5. Be direct. “It feels creepy to hug you.”…

I’m guessing the are good reasons why this person creeps you out. I’m guessing he probably creeps other people out, as well. And probably, a lot of how he gets away with being continually creepy is people wanting to avoid making things awkward for everyone. Let it be awkward. It won’t hurt you, it will puncture his…

Coughing attack!!!

*Arms open, begin to close, COUGH COUGH OMG SORRY EXCUSE ME COUGHING DYING*

Here’s what I do: “Sorry, I have bad anxiety and am not comfortable with hugs”. Yeah, they’re going to look at you like you just took a healthy shit in their cheerio’s, but they are a creep... who cares? I’d rather be the ‘weirdo’ than hug assholes.

He’s making it awkward-you’re not making it awkward. Say whatever you want.
