This is very cool the way you can get rid of hugs.

With things going so slowly - I guess we can move right along with this process.

Thanks for the hint eulin - I'm going to go try and to do this now.

Hey eu - that delete hug plan really works.

But I get so nervous trying to get more in - it's like playing beat the clock - or something.

I can feel my blood pressure rising as I'm trying to hit the next delete :) before they spin away..... :)

I don't know if my heart can take it - lolol. But it is kind of fun - sort of competing with ourselves - or something like that.

Well, it sure came in handy that time that DS was throwing multiples and I got the same Hug from one person over 1500 times, LOLOLOL!!!!!!!

I'm 60 years old!!!
I wouldn't have LIVED long enough to delete all those Hugs one by one!!!!!

Don't be bragging about how many Hug's you have, Eulen. LOL

They are harder to delete than messages.

It is sorta' sad to me to delete hug's......less than messages. Someone sends you a hug.....you need to keep it.

But in the spirit of keeping thing's running, I just might do it.

HUGS!!!!!

I might be speaking too soon - but thinks actually do seem like they are running better - does anyone else feel that this is true?

thinks = things

Not for me!!!
My 'Opera' trick still works, but everything else is just as bad or even a little worse than ever!!

LOLOL!!!! Well, carly, I couldn't SEE all my 'old' beloved Hugs, because of that one that came through over 1500 times!!!
I had to go back 75 pages of Hugs to see the older ones, LOL!!!!

Besides, once I threw a hissy fit and got rid of all my Hugs!!!!
I found out that people were FOLLOWING them!!!
As though they were subscribed to my Hugs!!!!

And apparently there's nothing wrong with doing that -- they felt free to contact me and allude to them and comment on them even when they were about subjects I had NEVER discussed with them!!!!
Nor did I have any desire to DO so!!!

I know it's not against any rules and that posts on the boards and Hugs are very public -- but I didn't realize the level of nosiness that existed!!!!
I consider it to be a 'breach of etiquette'.
I don't go around reading people's Hugs!!!!
(Except for that one you can't help but see when you go to leave a Hug for someone, yourself!)

So I fixed their asses!!!!
I deleted everything!!!! ALL the Hugs!!!!!
(I did, however, copy and paste them into Gmail, so I really did keep them, LOL!!!!)

And I stopped sending Hugs!!!!
Whatever I had to say, I put in a Message!!!!

Until I got lazy and sick and tired of doing so.
Then I went back to Hugs, LOL!!!!!

I used to be able to delete 4-5 hugs at a time, these days, I'm lucky to even do one!!!

That little circle thingy that keeps spinning is making me dizzy!!!!
Seems no matter where I try to go, it's right there, having a good ol' time!!!!

Subliminal hypnosis maybe, trying to get me to think things aren't really as slow as they are?? LOL

Oh dear, here come the guys in the white coats, they heard me mention subliminal hypnosis!!!! LOL

(Grabbing shoes and hobbling out the door now)

A-Ha!!!!!!!!

"Subliminal hypnosis maybe, trying to get me to think things aren't really as slow as they are?? LOL"

Of course!!!!! Why didn't I realize it!!!!?!?!?
(Maybe because it was working?)

Now that you've said that, I just KNOW that that's the reason for it!!!!!!
I DO spend in inordinate amount of time staring .... just staring at the endlessly spinning circle!!!!!

Eulen,

So funny you mentioned about people going around reading people's hug's.

I usually never do it nor do I want to know who is friend's with whom.

But it just so happened tonight that I was so frustrated with the "twirly" thing. I noticed that it was worse when reading/trying to read messages and hugs. So I was doing a test and I saw that on the activity page someone had sent a friend a recipe for chicken salad and I soooooo wanted to ask about it. But I can't. lol.

I think we are all being mesmerized by the non-stop circle.

Luckily we are not being charged for that hypnosis.

Okay, every time you guys mention "Opera," you throw off my thinking and I start with something like this:

That rendition of The Ride of the Valkyries is indeed beautiful!!!!

But not quite as grand as THIS version -- which is the best performance of all time:
