It was called the “hug me” pillow. The image on the website showed a contented young woman snuggling into the nook of a fake male chest and pajama clad arm. It didn’t have a head or any other limbs–just the part that you put your head on while snuggling. It was the saddest thing I have ever seen–it was the emotional equivalent of sex doll.

Men don’t even compare. Warm body in bed, excellent listeners, great companions, they don’t talk, studies show that your mood gets elevated the second you touch an animal–like a canine induced endorphin rush….list goes on and on.

I was single once, but yet and still a single mom at that so my cart always seemed full. You could always by for the whole month and call a cab home. Good story love to read your work. The only thing I can think of that will warm up your bed other than an electric blanket is a good strapping man! Maybe one who works at the grocery store (lol).
:o )

and… in New England, an electric blanket is essential!

Et viola–instant heat!!

If all else fails, that old 19th Century standby–the hot water bottle–works wonders. Strategically placed, cuddling the extra pillow almost feels like a warm, loving human!
