I don't call internet people strangers. But since it would be easy to locate my website I try not to leak information that would hurt me. But I will tell you a secret. I do what ever I can to get out of a public restroom without touching the door. I see so many people use the rest room without washing their hands & touch the door handle or knob to get out. =( It really disgusts me when there are not any paper towels & I have to pull the door open. Sometimes I will wait for someone to come in from the outside.

a wise man once told me this joke " A Yale guy and a Harvard guy are both using the urinals, the Yale guy washes his hands, the Harvard guy doesn't. The Yale guy says, "at Yale they taught us to wash our hands after we pee" . "At Harvard they taught us to not pee on our hands."

uh huh. 500 guys coming in and out for years because the door rarely gets cleaned. How much do you think the $6 an hour janitor cares if the toilet is clean. They used to have copper doorknobs because it a chemical reaction with the bacteria killed it.

Well i can trust a stranger but on a different level. . In situations like these i don't mind telling my secret to a stranger. . It's nice feeling actually to tell it to the persons who don't have a single idea anything about me, who don't know me at all. I did that on my early days here myLot actually. Its nice feeling though, feeling of somewhat a relief to me. Aside from that, the advices given from our mylotians. It's really nice. (",)

YES! A stranger usually keeps your secrets better than the people closet to you. Besides if they tell someone 9 times out of 10 they don't know you.

I have a few secrets...not harmful ones tho...or ones that I might be terribly ashamed of...one I am keeping right now is I have the birthday gift for my hubby that he's been asking me for...He's been dropping hints for months that he wants this, and I keep saying no, because I got him something different...lol

I soldem share my secret with a stranger, but sometimes it's better to share secrets with a stranger. I usually share my secret with my boyfriend and my best friend. We shouldn't trust a stranger completely, I think. hehe! Have a great day, Carolee. You change your icon again. This one is wonderful@

No, I don't like sharing secrets with people , even close friends don't tell them every thing if I don't really feel the need to talk about it.. talking to be that i don't know personally about personal things is not something that I like to do..

I don't know that I have a secret to share, but if you are interested in secrets, you should check out the book "Postsecret" it's a really good, short read with all kinds of secrets in it. The author gave strangers postcards and asked them to send in their secrets. Some are sad, some are funny. Some are just unbelievable, but they're all worth reading.

Yes this is a very good book. Plenty of unique illustrations and a fast read. Some of them make you wonder what is going on in your neighbor's head.

I wouldnt really share a secret with a stranger but I dont mind discussing certain events that are happening in my life and asking for advice. Sometimes it helps to have a complete stranger take a fresh perspective on your issues and help you through them. One of my lesser known (& less harmful) secrets i can share - Im an obsessive hand washer. I need to wash my hand after everything I do. If no hand wash is available I use my hand sanitizer:)
