1. How many times have you known you have(tested) for Covid?

2. You can’t (probably shouldn’t) hug or high 5 Gutter today, as he has Covid. When away for business/whatever from your loved ones, how often do you check-in, and what’s the preferred method (voice time, text, etc.)?

3. Can you remember giving a stranger in public a compliment or word of encouragement, unprompted? What was it?

4. Are you or any of your family married to, have children of a race different from your own?

5. If someone had a free hug sign on the street, would you want to give/receive one?

1) Tested once, negative. To my knowledge, I have not had it.
2) I call a couple times a day
3) I cannot
4) No
5) Probably not

1. I have had covid 1 time (that I know of).

2. Couple times a day. Phone call and/or text.

3. Yes, all the time. Nothing specific comes to mind though.

4. Yes

5. No

1. I've tested positive for Covid once
2. Text a couple times a day. Call at night.
3. A few weeks ago I said nice shirt, go Chiefs to a kid I saw while camping
4. If you include my BUD's family as mine, then yes
5. Depends on the person giving the hug. Kate Upton?

1. Tested for it - numerous. All negative until last night and this morning. I have had it 1 time that I know of but think I may have had it when it first became a thing.
2. Phone call. Not too often. Just to check in. Although, the calls go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on, I can't really say it's a "preferred" method. "Preferred" is probably text.
3. Come on! You know me. Multiple times a day I will drop an embarrassing uncontrolled "GOOD CHICKEN".
4. "race"? All depends on how you/we are defining "race". Also depends on how far out we are extending "family".
According to this (see link below), race is a very broad word in which my guess is most people on here have a family member who is married to or has children of a different "race". Myself included.

5. See pub's response. On a related note, I truly mean this, without makeup, Kate Upton doesn't do much for me. If she had a sign that said free hugs, I would probably walk right by her.

1.) Tested once right at the beginning of the plandemic when my now-wife got it. Came back negative. Think I probably had it once.
2.) Check in a couple times per day via text and usually FaceTime at night.
3.) No. I'm a pure introvert. If I don't know you, I don't even make eye contact.
4.) No.
5.) No. See #3 above.

1. Once

2. Depends on what is going on at home. A text here or there and a call if my kid had something important. She's old enough now that she doesnt need to hear from me every day.

3. Sure. I make a point of complimenting or thanking people for doing positive things when I am aware of it. It doesn't happen enough so I try to do my part.

4. No, at least not any of the family that I regularly interact with. I have some relatives whose existence I really have no knowledge of so who knows.

5. Depends on the person. Yes, if they weren't a creepy looking male.

1. 3 tests, two positives.

2. Would text 3 words in morning, wish a good day. Send goofy memes/state of day 1-2 times, and an evening quick FaceTime. It’s one thing we did well, and on schedule/in sync.

3. I tell numerous KU students nice yoga pants daily. Not really, but sometimes my head is on a swivel. Come at me if you need to, wish those things were around when I was in my youth, and I’d imagine they are quite comfy to wear, considering their prevalence.

4. I was one of 3 ‘Gringos’ at the Christmas family dinner of 300 people. Very large, very Catholic family of Mexican descent.

**g- I basically meant they’d check a different ethnicity box than you. Not meant to be controversial.

**p- yeah, I meant family as all those you are family with, by birth or through marriage/partnership.

5. I have. Admittedly, they were not physically off-putting to me, or I would not have. Was both a man and woman. I hugged both.

Ooops

He needs Mich to teach him how to search for pics of her.

No, I didn't say that. I said without makeup she doesn't do much for me.
Heck, these days, I'm not good enough for MTG or Rosa DeLauro on their worst days.

This Kate Upton, I was never good enough for.


This Kate Upton, I would walk right past and move on to smaller (not bigger ) and better things.

Except for what ever weird facial expression that is, I assume the camera caught her at a bad time, the bottom pic is much more attractive to me. Top one does not look real.

All I know, is if I hugged the top KU (rock chalk baby) pic, as she is positioned, I’m not sure most would call it a hug.

Yes, one is a photo she posed for and was probably manipulated and the other one she was not caught at her finest movement.
I used to be a BIG fan of her. She was/is a beautiful woman. It's all good. I'm just not really in to women who I feel could/would physically dominate me.
I should clarify that by saying I know plenty of "larger" women who are wonderful people, and some I love very much. I'm just not as physically attracted to them as much as I am attracted to smaller women.

Moving on....
In regard/s to #3. Many people would probably interpret my "GOOD CHICKEN" to be demeaning. It's not at all. Women should be flattered.

1. once
2. this totally depends how long I am away
3. yes. I speak to strangers a lot and go out of my way to be encouraging. Those public service tv commercials we grew up with are blazened on my brain. I think I am especially encouraging to kids. I'll say stuff like, 'you ask good questions' or 'being a big sister is an important job.'
4. Yes
5. No, probably not.
