My secret is that I feel like an utter failure everyday. ---

> [@Leaffan](#): > > May parents did that. I was maybe 10 or 12. I didn’t find out till I was about 35! > > The story was that the dog ran away from home. ☹ This happened to me as well. My parents gave our cat away and let us believe it was lost at the time. I only found out when my dad was relaying the story to my husband to be and his family. He didnt realize we didn’t know all these years what happened to her. Relling the story sometimes makes me cry because at the time I was shocked to learn dad gave away Lisa. ---

My best friend is gay. Known him for 25 years, and he only told me about 3 years ago. He was hesitant to say anything since my wife and I are his only friends, and he didn’t want to alienate us. I told him I couldn’t care less, and the only difference it would make is what kind of porn I forward to him.😉 One of the kids hamsters escaped and never came back. We told them he probably made it to the yard and is having fun with the chipmunks and squirrels. Truth is, he only made it to the pantry, into a rat trap. shhhhhh. ---

I really hated The Five People You Meet in Heaven, The Bridges of Madison County and The Alchemist. But I’ve stopped admitting it, because people get strangely offended. And Tom Hanks’ voice sets my teeth on edge for some reason. No-one wants to hear that either. ---

I could never share secrets here, because I’m NOT anonymous. I have family on the board, and real-life friends as well. So no secret sharing from _me_.
