Hi Geoff ...
Hope all is well with you and Louise. Got the message where to send the books .. thanks!
I often wonder about people who say "Now, don't you tell a soul ..." I wonder how many other folks they might have said that to before approaching me. And yep, trying to remember who you told it to and who you didn't can be a self-imposed trap.
Interesting read ... and happens much more often than we might suspect. Enjoyed this little piece for pondering!
Best to both of you ...

Yes, this is often the case when someone shares a so called confidence with you, probably about somebody else's discomfort, watch out when someone says, psst, don't tell anyone but. I think you're right Geoff, well
done, my friend, blessings, Roy

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written short story. I usually stop listening when someone tells me something when they say "don't tell anyone!" Not because I want to tell, but there is no reason for me to carry their burden.

Hi there,
Yes, nice little piece of pondering here. I have often wondered this myself. Am I the only confidant or indeed does everyone know - perhaps it's a test. Who knows.
Good little musing

Yeah, good point. One wonders if it is a burden you have taken on listening to the 'sharer!' Cheers.
Comment from michaelcahill
Hi, my friend. Saw your name and figured I better pop by right now, since putting things off till later doesn't work well for me. HAHAHA!
This got a big laugh out of me. I know exactly what you mean. I just love things told me in confidence when I KNOW i'm probably number twenty on the list of people who've been told. LOL
I think the definitions of certain terms have become weakened over the years. :)) Good one! mikey

Thanks old mate. Should get the MIkeu by Krikey poem out again but I am not sure how many of the old crowd that remember you are still around. Finally getting back to some writing. Been depressed still over Tom and some of his antics. Nothing new. probably other things depressing as well. Regs to Donna.
