  4. I'm reliably informed that a secret is still a secret if you don't share it with more than three other people. (No, not Mrs N's theory but another Margaret though.)

  5. I once told a secret to more than 10 guys, who went on to tell the same to even more people. One fine day a friend called me up and said he wanted to tell a secret and said the same secret back to me. Smiles

  9. I still don't get Twitter and cannot understand what is so much fun about it!

  10. I love "I dont want to die". It squeezes my heart. Milk Beach is beautiful! and I had to smile at the last one, though in real life that would be devastating of course.

    ReplyDelete
  11. It is devastating. I know of two cases where children found out they were adopted in this manner.
