If one opens (spreads) their hands as if to say "What do you want from me?" does one spread their hands or their arms?
Huh?

I would shrug. But that's just me. |

Actually, I would probably throw my arms in the air in frustration. I guess you could say it would be reminiscent of two fighters. One gets pushed. He throws his arms away from his sides to make the point that he is not striking out at the other. Also a bit of a ploy used in television police shows by accused who are usually guilty but want a reason to sue the station for assault or police misconduct.

Its more of an arm gesture though it works better if the palms of the hands are facing up.

not to say for sure on anything, but I would say something like he shrugged and opened his arms in a gesture of questioning, "What do you want from me?"
Sort of a combination of the questioning gesture and a shrug to make it known that the person doesn't understand

I'm with Andrea on this one...
it's more of an arm gesture, with palms up...used when people are pushed toward aggravation.
Most of the time, the lower arms would be spread out, with the upper arms fairly close to the body. However, if the person was angry, I could see where both arms would be spread wide (and high).
It would help if we knew the context...

Thanks for your suggestions. I'm going with arms. It would be rather awkward to spread only your hands (unless you were seated as a desk with arms on top of it) hmm.
Andrea, I'm happy to finally "see" you, nice picture.

My suggestion?... He threw his arms out.
Now, Bill, does this mean we'll all be second authors on your next work? |

"He threw his arms out" sounds painful!

Frank,
No, no recognition, but you know you occupy a special place in my heart...wait, it may be my spleen, or, perhaps my duodenum, I can't remember which, but you're there.
Tom,
I thought Frank meant like "out the window" or "in the trash" which would leave only the hands.

So the carpet does match the drapes!
I almost feel dirty for typing that, but then I'm watching a Dukes of Hazzard marathon so whoopee-doo.
Wait, make that YEEEE-HAW following by the Dixie horn melody.

Tha'd be a ten-four there good buddy.
With the movie (ugh) renewing interest, CMT picked it up after TNN/Spike dumped it a few years back.
Its like I'm *cough* (a few decades ago) again and getting to stay up to watch "my show". Only this time my pj's don't have the bottom panel (though one pair does have footies) and I'm munching on pineapple sherbert and guacamole chips instead of cinnamon rice cakes (silly mommy).
I think this tops a list of "What to Do On a Saturday Night Instead of Editing" for which there is no WA group.

At least it beats sitting with a Pepsi in front of the computer, switching back and forth between writing up a plot outline and reading message boards...heh.

Nah, cuz that can be categorized as actual background and research work.
Dukes is well, Stress Relief. Yeah, thats the ticket!
Now if I could do something about my daily Smurfs followed by three hours of People's Court, Judge Judy and Judge Joe habit, I'm sure I'd be a whole lot more productive. But since I read boards, blogs and mail during that time, tisn't all 'bad'.
And Lynn, I SWEAR I'm reading a PA book. This one here on my lap just happens to be written by Dennis (see Dennis, I'm working on it!). However, I have a Library one in my bag and the other on my nightstand. And Todd's giving me one for my bathroom. (Todd knows I'm kidding. I think?!) I hope to have your two finished and back to you by the end of the month. I also thought I would have them done and back to you last November. (Do I get to pick my own place in the pool?)
I need a driver, then I can get some reading done. And a housekeeper. And a launderer. And a cat groomer. Ooh and a personal masseur.
Oh right, I have to WRITE first. Sheesh. Always something.

Obviously you have never seen what a cat can do to a roll of toilet paper (I REFUSE to call it 'bathroom tissue') when they're in a mood.
But it'd be in good company there Todd. I have three versions of Uncle John's Bathroom Reader on the back of the commode (ya know for 'longer' stays). I believe yours would qualify as a three grunter.
