> My family was not a touchy-feely family. I have been very aware of this and tried hard to show my children love with touches rather than just FEED them! My grandma won't say she loves me or hug me, but she'll cook for a week before you get there!!!

This sounds like my Dad and his side of the family!>I wake up feeling like the cat that stole all the cream!

This sounds liek something my grandmother would have said...> There's a very interesting book (I'll have to remember the title and let you know) about your ancestors' culture and the way you relate to others. For example, my family originated in Ireland and we don't touch. Look at the way the Irish dance. Hands and arms straight down at their sides. It was kind of eerie to read and see these things in people I know!
THat is interesting about the book!
My Mom is pretty touchy-feely, and Dad has always been warm with me- I'd sit on his lap, and he'd hug HELLO or BYE, but NEVER has he said "I love you". Mom didn't say it much either till I was grown. Mom and my paternal g'mother will feed you till you pop!
Ya'll have a great weekend!
