ads that may appear herein are not of my creation. i neither approve nor disapprove of them. they are part and parcel of my contractual obligation with wordpress. it is my fervent hope that they do not deter you from reading "hugmamma's mind, body, and soul." any unsavory ones can be nipped in the bud by bringing them to my attention...hugs for doing so...hugmamma.

"rehashing" is a mess. recycling is ok, if credit's given where credit's due...hugmamma.

"Human communication, 'as the saying goes, is a clash of symbols' it covers a multitude of signs. But it is more than media and messages, information and persuasion; it also meets a deeper need and serves a higher purpose. Whether clear or garbled, tumultous or silent, deliberate or fatally inadvertent, communication is the ground of meeting and the foundation of community. It is, in short, the essential human connection."
