Tag Archives: Favourite Post Secret This Week

Wow. Frank took some time off from posting new secrets over the holidays. He finally posted today and there are a bunch of really good ones!
My “favourite” includes three Post Secrets.

Immediate reaction: chuckle.
Keep in mind though laughter is actually tied into shock, surprise.
My teenage son is a student driver and the last thing I need [...]

The emotions expressed on Post Secret this week–after a week’s hiatus–are decidedly mixed. There are some pretty bitter ones though a handful of optimistic ones as well.
However, bitter probably did win out. But not for me. I went with positive for a simple reason. See below:

I can relate to it. When you lose someone you [...]

…happened to be the very first one:
Many more secrets are revealed at Post Secret each week.

I’m trying to picture this person spreading holiday cheer by not declining maxed-out credit cards for Christmas tress. Is he/she a corner-lot Christmas-tree seller? Perhaps this is a person who works for a mega store Christmas tree seller like Home [...]

First, though I think it may be temporary, Frank at Post Secret has left up last week’s secrets in addition to adding new ones for this week.
I believe he’s done so because most of the secrets from last and this week have a reference of some kind to the holidays–or perhaps he just forgot to [...]

This is amusing for about 3 seconds then I get to asking: Since Mom is using her prescribed medication in Dad’s coffee, what is she doing for medication? Unless she has two doctors she’s going to run out–and then what? And if she is obtaining mood altering drugs from at least two MD’s and she [...]

It’s really hard not to be amused by this Post Secret as it seems on the surface to be so nonsensical.
However, if you think a bit about stereotypes which I’m guessing the Post Secret writer has been exposed to regarding Chinese people, then some sense seeps in.
The reality too is that the Chinese military is [...]

Amazon Link for 10% Donation to Post Secret With Purchase
This is probably something a lot of people can relate to.  Because I live in a densely-populated area in a condominium and I like to allow as much light into the house as possible I keep the blinds pulled back–all the way open–so clothing-optional really isn’t [...]

Sorry, slow on the My Favourite Post Secret This Week bit this week.
I’ve had a look at them and some are quite bawdy.  So how ’bout I share one of those?

Ha! That first thing I thought of was Lucille Ball. Then I thought oh, flaccid penis. Ugh. Then back to Lucy and away from the [...]

Oooh–lots of good Post Secrets this week!
This Post Secret seems so simple yet if you examine “who” you love it becomes clear that there’s a bit more to it.
How do we end up in shitty relationships time and again? Bad choices or is it because we don’t feel we deserve good ones?
If we are lamenting [...]

This is an interesting one.  I guess I’m pretty far out of the loop  as the only “drugs” that I can think of that might be “made” in a bathtub is marijuana. I don’t think the poster is referring to pot though as wouldn’t he/she have said “grown” (the drugs) in the bathroom?
So what the [...]

This Post Secret made me chuckle as I too went through an unfortunate time in my life when I had to shill things on eBay. Let’s just say that I broke even. There will always be some very difficult people in the world and they unfortunately buy off of eBay, too.
So, though I did not [...]

I’m not sure that “favourite” is the right word for this Post Secret postcard.
It certainly is the one that resonated with me in the most intense way.
Regardless of  your politics, if something as terrible as this post card implies were to happen, it would be  an earthshaking event.
I’m from Illinois and because of this I’ve [...]

OK, when  I saw the Cindy McCain post card I thought, this is it! because Cindy McCain does in fact have a scary look to her. I’ve read quite a bit about her and her personality and behaviour overs the years creep me out, too.
Ultimately however I felt more strongly about what two other Post [...]

This is my favourite Post Secret because despite appearances to the contrary, it’s content is the least startling.
I don’t anticipate having the above post card-writer’s problem because my spouse is one of 7 kids, including three girls.  Since he’s a guy spouse gets off the hook a lot easier. I think the postcard author should start checking [...]

New this week Post Secrets
I think Frank cheated or something because there were a lot of really great Post Secret’s tonight/this week.
It was truly hard to pick just one so you must, after reading why I picked this one (hopefully appreciating it, too) go visit Frank at the link above to see more.
The bride and [...]

The first Post Secret listed knocked my socks off and there are a few more that are pretty awesome too, so go have a look.
It’s a photograph of Gweneth Paltrow and her mother, Blythe Danner.  In it, Gweneth looks a little put out and Blythe looks a little haughty. The postcard-sender states that [...]

I finally have a truly new PostSecret to share! It’s been at least a month since one grabbed me enough to write about.
First off, The Graduate from which this publicity shot is taken, is a great movie. It thrust Dustin Hoffman into the spotlight and he truly began his ascent to stardom. Anne Bancroft who [...]

This is my favourite Post Secret this week and it may be related to how I’m feeling. I’m here on a body of water and sometimes it feel very black and very deep. Even though I’m not afraid of the black water I am afraid of myriad other things, namely the people that surround me [...]

Once again, this week there weren’t any Post Secrets that really grabbed me.
I think part of the secret of the success of Post Secret is the universality of the themes –fears, hopes, dreams, wishes–some profound and others not.  This Post Secret says much about where the author is in (her?) life and how [...]

My Favourite Post Secret This Week…

…does actually come from another week but it’s a new one here.

This one I can relate to more as a parent, though I certainly put in my time as a babysitter, both paid and unpaid.
When I was a teenage babysitter, I was much closer in age to the kids [...]

This is my favourite Post Secret this week because it made me break out laughing.
Why? Because I can totally relate to attributing human qualities to my dog. Dogs are so tuned in to their people that they often take on certain attributes of them.
It’s so hard to say exactly what a dog is [...]

You know why I like this one? It caught me off guard. I read it, then paused and thought What?! and then read it again. Upon second reading I thought it really strange and possibly unhealthful. I also thought “yuck” and “sick.” I hope there are not too many people who share this secret though [...]

My favourite Post Secret each week tends to be one of the ones that tickles my funny bone.
This week it was not one of the funny ones.
The postcard to Frank that grabbed me most this week was one that hit dead-center home. (Read at left.)
Many years ago I fell in love with a man who [...]
