You Frosty Non-Southerners
What a perfect weekend! With Fall now upon us, the temperature has cooled quite nicely. I had a pretty lazy weekend. I got to play some tennis and watch plenty of football. While the Florida vs. Tennessee game was a total snooze fest, the Auburn vs. LSU game lived up the hype. The LSU Tigers won a heartwrenching game in front of a very hostile Jordan-Hare Stadium. Way to GEAUX LSU!
I did enjoy seeing Keri Russell in The Waitress yesterday. This movie spoke to me. It was about ordinary country people having affairs left and right to get them through life. I actually got teary eyed near the end. The movie was written and directed by Adrienne Shelly, who also played "Dawn" in the movie. I was sad when I read that Adrienne Shelly was found murdered in 2006, before her film was accepted at the Sundance Film Festival in 2007.
Speaking of waitresses, I had to scoff as I read Judith Martin's (Miss Manners) advice in Don't Hug the Waitresses, even in the South. What is wrong with you people? Why are you so FROSTY? There is absolutely nothing wrong with a hug, a fanny pat or a nipple tug. We can give affection without it being a sexual thing.

I really liked Waitress as well. It was a very good movie. As you can tell by my comments on your earlier post, Saturday was a great day for college football.
Brett,
It's not about sexuality. Hugs are a very personal expression of affection, and there's nothing wrong with them if BOTH parties agree.
But as Miss Manners notes, hugs can be unwelcome. Some people feel compelled to allow hugs from people they don't want to hug, because they don't want to appear rude. Some hugs can be misinterpreted by others.
If a waitress is an old friend of yours from high school (which, being St. Amant, is very possible) then that's one thing. But hugging a waitress you've seen three times when you're not even sure what her last name is, is just forward. I suspect they'd much rather get a little extra in the tip than a hug.
I fully agree with Kevin. Hugging can be non-sexiual. If you knwo your party well enough to hugs it is OK, but I am not going to I-Hop to hugs whoever is there. I do not even hun my own Albertson people whom I have known for over 8 years. But I I saw you Brett I would twig your nipple and pat your butt, and then hug you.
Again I fully agree with Kevin. you should know who the person is very well.

I need a hug after the Auburn-LSU game Saturday...And I think several beers are in order when you are here in October.
If you are gay, I think different rules apply. I understand that women might feel uneasy being hugged by straight men, but we are obviously not looking for a grope.
You never offered me a nipple tug. :-(
i've always had a fondness for sweet talking waitresses from the south
"Can I get you more tea?"
"How about a nice slice of pie?"
oooh I love it so.
Since WHEN are your hugs, fanny pats and nipple tugs NOT sexual????
I loved this movie too! It really spoke to me as well! One of my favorite's
