Share Your World – January 22, 2018
List 2 things you have to be happy about?
My brother Stephen, my birthday in February and Vacation in March
Have you ever owned a rock, pet rock, or gem that is not jewelry?
Yes I believe so.
Are you a hugger or a non-hugger?
Non-Hugger.
I really don’t like to be touched and am very uncomfortable with strange people trying to touch me. It’s like an invasion of privacy. Men will use hugging to take unwanted liberties. Really very creepy and disturbing. Yes I do hug my brother Stephen and a very few select close friends but other than those people I try to avoid all uninvited touching.

I love your photos. You can really sense the friendship between you and your brother!
I’m glad to see I’m not the only non-hugger. Well, maybe “glad” isn’t the right word, but I can’t think of a better one. I don’t like people touching me without my permission. People tend to act like I’m mean or cold-hearted because of this. I show my kindness in other ways.
I hug babies and cats or friendly dogs. That’s about it.
Thanks. Glad that you stopped by my blog. Non-Huggers unite! I also show my kindness in other ways. People are way too touchy feely nowadays.
Just wanted to share a funny story. I work as a museum security guard. For 8 years I worked the Day Shift. One morning after receiving instructions from my supervisor I went on my break. As I was walking to the Staff Cafeteria suddenly a female visitor attempted to grab my arm. I’m telling you that I bobbed and weaved more than the late Great Muhammad Ali and I was moving like Neo in the Matrix. I had to read that woman the riot act that she was to Never ever put her hands on Museum staff. I refused to answer her question and sent her to the Information Desk which was right in front of her face. Felt like I should start singing Can’t Touch This by MC Hammer.
I adore the photos of you and Stephen. Thanks so much for sharing this week, I enjoyed reading your reponses. 😀
Thanks. One of my favorite challenges.
I am a non hugger too, I really do not like hugging people unless I really know them very well. I do not like shaking hands either. Your photos are great.
Thanks. Fist Bump! Hooray! Usually I don’t mind shaking hands because I keep my hand sanitizer with me.
I do not mind shaking hands if I have put a little Frankincense on them it keeps negativity off.
Cool. Never thought about that spice.
I do have a funny story to share in a future post to share about octopus touchy feely people.
Oh yes, people who take every opportunity to grope, slight of hands or whatever, yucky. I look forward to reading it.
Yup they sure do. And in my ten years of working as a museum security guard I’ve either seen or had some of everything happen.
Museums give opportunity to people. Especially these days with atmospheric lighting. Places are so dark.
The visitors used to ask me why some galleries were darkened. Certain types of artwork like pastels, scrolls, sketches are sensitive to light. Light fades artwork including fabrics. That’s why one is not allowed to take flash photos in art museums or in some museums they forbid photos. I much prefer photography to be banned and forbidden in All art museums. I’ve seen way too many fights over the years and art damage from stupid tourists with idiot Selfies.
