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 [...]

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 [...]

…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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Unless you are taking your pet drastically out of his/her environment, there’s never a need to put clothes on  her. I agree in spirit with the writer of this Post Secret–though I’m not sure what kind of revenge  is being alluded to. Dressing your dog up just for giggles is just sad, sad, sad. You [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 much [...]

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 [...]

Above is my favourite Post Secret this week. It’s kind of difficult for me to believe that the person who wrote it honestly asked a Black person if he wanted to be called “colored.” I mean c’mon, that term hasn’t been acceptable for at least 35 years and I sincerely doubt that the postcard author [...]

Sorry folks, summertime life has been a little bit nutty so I’ve missed a couple of installments of ” My Favourite Post Secret” but fear not–we are back! It would be super-cool if this secret was from a man to a woman but it seems that it’s a woman’s writing. It would be uber cool [...]

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 [...]

This “confession” struck me as amusing because coffee filters must cost how many times more than toilet tissue? When did it become so easy to keep a supply of coffee filters on hand but run out of bathroom tissue? :p I would think it’d be the other way around? I thought the Secrets  were a bit weak [...]

  I like this post secret–one in which a woman admits hairiness is a family trait, that the fear of being “discovered” as being a woman with hair where it “shouldn’t” is a uniform fear for her her aunts and her mother, and best of all that they’ve made a pact to keep this family [...]

I apologize. Truth is, this is a favourite but not from this week. I didn’t have any favourites this week though there were some good ones. I have this–another Post Secret favourite of mine. I like that it’s message simple, yet profound. I think unless we walk around with rose-coloured glasses 24/7 we can relate [...]

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 [...]
