I really like the new app, but I'm getting very fed up with the yahoos who apparently only paid their three bucks so that they can post pictures of their penises or say "You deserve to be alone, you fat pig."

Agreed. And I've seen enough penises on that thing to last me a lifetime.

Re: PostSecret
You're already on the internet; what's the harm in a few more penises?

Re: PostSecret
Maybe if you weren't pushing 40 without knowing a basic life skill, you wouldn't get judged.
I also don't understand this. It's not like you're going to able to have a conversation or anything during the show if you were there with someone. The crowd's usually big enough that running into someone you know is rare (unless your town is that small? In which case you might have to travel to see certain bands anyhow), and why are they going to judge you? Because you went to the same concert as them? I do go to both concerts and movies by myself a lot (why miss out on experiencing something awesome because my friends' schedules don't match up with mine?), so maybe I don't get where the sender is coming from. It feels like a very adolescent "people need to think I'm not unpopular!" sort of attitude, though.
This is my favorite secret this week. My favorite secret in years, actually.

Seriously. That's how all great friends are chosen. Hell, that's how I chose my husband.

Re: PostSecret
Love the app -it's great for when waiting for appointments, except every now and then I see one that makes me tear up - which is inevitably the cue for my turn to be called.
I feel left out - I've seen not one penii.

This one is heartbreaking. So is this one, because I know how often that happens.

Re: PostSecret
IT'S FAZED NOT PHASED GODDAMMIT. As in, I was a great deal more fazed by the misuse of the word phased than by the actual content of this secret (watch whatever you like, lady, but get your words right!).

Re: PostSecret
The one with the foster baby...do they mean that they'll move away because where they live now would be too sad with memories of the baby? Or do they mean they're going to kidnap her and run for it? I couldn't figure that out.

Agreed. That one got my ire up. And I got a kidnap vibe off the foster baby one, VodouDoll...which is very romantic (in the literary sense), but would ultimately lead to so much trouble and heartache.

Re: PostSecret
Yeah, the more I think about that card the more it disturbs me. Kidnapping is not a good answer. Who goes into fostering thinking it might be permanent, especially if the mother hasn't had her parental rights terminated?
And what if the mother regains custody by proving she's truly got herself cleaned up and has a stable job? Would they still be heartbroken then?

I don't get it - what is that thing? I'm just seeing some blue box with the Post Secret address on it?The Lady of Shalott wrote:This one is awful and dishonest. Seriously, just...no.
Edit - oh, okay, I went to the site itself. The linked pic doesn't show the actual secret, just the address side. Yeah, I hate women who do that.
The cat one is really cute.

Anyone who thinks that kidnapping a foster child and running away is a good idea should read "Grasshopper" by Barbara Vine. (I love her books and will shamelessly plug them whenever possible.)

Re: PostSecret
The cat one is actually very evil because we know the interwebs were invented by cats for their own insidious networking purposes. All she's doing is reinforcing their paranoia about humans and their secret! bathroom! plots! against cats and you know that info is getting passed around Cat Facebook like fire. That lady is the reason that none of us who have cats can GO TO THE DAMN BATHROOM IN PEACE!The cat one is really cute.
Damn her. Damn her to hell.

I didn't even think of it as insinuating kidnapping. Wow. Unfortunately, all too often, a parents in recovery will relapse with the stress of raising children. Then the kids get taken away again, the parents have to go back into rehab, they clean up, get their kids back and it happens all over again. It's a shitty situation all around, especially if the parents really do want to do right by their kids. (As opposed to the ones who just want them because hey, that's my kid and nobody else should have her.)

Re: PostSecret
I don't get the "$525,000" part of that secret. Was she going to pay him to be with her?

Re: PostSecret
I wonder if that means that she has or is going to receive an inheritance or windfall of some kind that he would have access to. Unless she's phenomenally independently wealthy?

Re: PostSecret
Well, there's no comma. Maybe her children are worth $525,000?

Re: PostSecret
I think that's what the children cost. She will sell them to fund her plastic surgery.
