 ~*Marge Tindal*~ They talk about you … They talk about me … They talk about others so selfishly~ They talk about things they don’t understand with a cross-of-their-heart and a raise of their hand~ They talk about me … They talk about you … Swearing that it is ALL true~ They talk about others … without the slightest tact They talk about things that circle back~ Talk about SHALLOW … they are indeed ! They talk about you … They talk about me … They talk about others so selfishly~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

Thanks goodness, I don't think everyone does -- but it is so true that this happens all too frequently. Marge, I liked your banner. My dad used to always say that people with little minds talk about each other and people with big minds talk about ideas -- he was a wise man. And you, you are a wise women.  .........jo |

You're right about that Marge. I've been told that there is a rumor out there that I lived in a trailer in Phoenix. Nope. I think people spend FAR too much time on gossip nowadays. Even the TV shows try to bring us in with titillating bits about famous people. I don't understand what people think they can gain by all this gossip stuff? If anyone wants to talk about me, please feel free, I'm as boring as a nun's underwear! In fact, I'd like to start a rumor about me...let's see...maybe I'm a 40 year old man who's the leader of a hell's angels gang..or a maybe I'm an escaped convict...or a circus clown..or maybe, just maybe, I'm a private person who doesn't like everyone to know my business? Yeah...THAT'S who I am! So if anyone gets it into their head to spread some gossip about me, at least have the courtesy to copy me on the emails!!!  Thanks for giving me the opportunity to spout off Marge! |

But isn't talking about them talking about us pretty much the same thing as them talking about us talking about them? Or, uh, something like that. |

Reminds me of a song out now, that is doing very well on the charts and the video is outstanding, as is this observation of truth. |

Dear Marge: Thought provoking poem! It's amazing how things get distorted in repetition. Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Pointed and excellent. Gossip is a mean thing. And I love iliana's father's truth. I'm all for discussing ideas Enjoyed, Susan The whole of the Universe resides within each individual heart. |

I love Sharon's response...I can't imagine what anyone is saying..but I lead such a boring life that no one would want to talk about it..but if they did and could make it sound better than it is I would like to hear it..so I can fantasize a bit...  hugs Marge...hope your weekend is pleasant M |

If only people would get the message.. but they won't. Instead they gossip about who should listen to the message in the poem *chuckles* I liked. Tara |

Gee Marge. All that talking is like being on a merry-go-round. You always wind up in the same spot. I think there is a song something like that. You talk about me, I talk about you...... Tadatada........... Good jobber lady. Happy Week-End BonBon  |

And then there are others... who "hear" things never said? *S* I've no idea what you're talking about. *G* But I definitely enjoyed the read... even if I'll be humming "Everybody's talking 'bout me... I can't hear a word they're saying" for the rest of the evening! *S* You've given much to ponder, dear lady... well done! *S* |

Love how you lay it on the line Marge. This reminds me of a comeback someone had for me a while back when I said, whatever you do, don't be discussing me. And her reply was...not to worry Lori, we're going to talk about something interesting. Good for you, good poem~ |

You know where I think its the worst!? (Give me a chance to gossip about them, ugh.. in the middle of a big fiasco there) At church! People come as representatives of the Lord and just gossip and gossip and gossip. It's disgusting. Adults act like kids. They think that their make-believe-concern gives them the right to obliterate facts and then spread lies. Ugh! Okay, I'm done now... Did I mention that I love this? I do Awesome job, Marge... as always! Always, Alyssa Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. Joyce kilmer |

Firstly - Marcel~ quote:You are just so brilliant. Nextly - Thanks everyone. For those of you dearest friends who took the time to email me with offers to 'cover my back'  I so appreciate you~ As explained immediately back to you, this cute little wisdomed ditty came about while listening to a country music song, and the chance of finding this cute little graphic in an ad for a mobile phone ... then of course it just had to get written~ I do have to LOL at certain repliers who show up on the darndest little postings of mine~  Dang, where are you when I write the GOOD STUFF ?  In my bestest deep south drawl - "Ya'll just tickle me ta pieces!" *Huglets* and BIG SMILES~~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |
