"When I was young, the sky was full of stars.

I watched them burn out one by one........."

How funny, we probably saw each other there. I was young and gorgeous then. (take me back to 1976, and let me start over)

Sgt. Preston's was a wonderful place and too bad that it had to go away.

I have a secret I'd like to share with you, and the LJW ? person who did the writeup for the new restaurant advertised here, Cialito Linda or something like that.

It says the first occupant was Dos Hombres. I guess they weren't around when it was new, and the famous Sgt. Preston's was there, in all it's glory. (And Perrier was the only bottled water anyone talked about.)To this day, I still have very buried feelings about wanting a wooden canoe hanging from my ceiling. Take me back, please.

Multi is very grateful to have a friend beyond what Marion speaks of. Otherwise, I agree, far too many people, husbands, wives and friends are just out for themselves at some point.

"Secrets"= knowledge.

Knowledge = power.

Giving away secrets= giving away power.

NEVER give away your power.

You can trade your power for things, you can sell your power; you can exchange your power for the power of another but you never, ever; not now, not ever, give away your power.

I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. ;)

"Family" are the worst lot to be the recipients of a "secret".

"Family" will always and invariably call you to task on "secrets" even if you are right.

You might as well buy one of the signboards n I-35 near Downtown and by "Downtown" I don't mean that crappy little bit of deteriorating construction in Lawrence and put up your "secret"!

Next worst are the people with whom you are sharing Cheerios in the morning.

Not to be trusted in the least.

Sometimes even after years they will turn on you.

A relationship should be just that; a relationship; separate and distinct from everything else in your life. People do funny things and your life should not have to be negatively affected because a "relationship" has gone bad but that is the way that the present state of our society thinks that things should go.

NEVER tell all of your secrets.

Not now.

Not ever.

"NEVER*!

Marion Lynn 6 years, 1 month ago

No one and I mean no one.

Keep it to yourself.

Loose lips sink ships.

Anyone with whom you share a "secret" will eventually use that "secret" in some way against you.

"There's no one left but thee and me and we're not sure of thee!"

You got a hot deal?

Keep it to yourself until you have bled it dry, then you can tell others about it!

In the meantime, STFU!

You guys gave some pretty funny responses. :)

On a serious note, is an LJW reporter allowed to simply walk up to one of our schools and start interviewing people? Does s/he have an escort when interviewing these students on campus? How do the students know s/he is a reporter? How do the teachers know? Just curious. I guess I am being too cautious and suspicious . . .

What a silly question!

Multidisciplinary 6 years, 1 month ago

nadajay, you had me for the first half of your comment, I was thinking, this person has the right attitude to be one here. :D Then I read the next part..LOL. (note to self, don't tell nadajay anything!)

kristyj...I just don't know what to say about that. Innocence? Real life? Trust me, there are things you don't want to know.
