Even then, after meeting someone, you still don't know them. It takes a long time to get to the core of a person. There's different levels of trust as well. What I would trust with my very bestest friend of over 40 years, I would not trust with someone who I have only known for a short while. They would need to earn my trust, just as I would need to earn theirs.
Easiest way to be trusted, what goes in your ears, stays in the ears and will not find itself coming out of your mouth to another living soul.

Everybody's looking for that something One thing that makes it all complete You'll find it in the strangest places Places you never knew it could be Some find it in the faces of their children Some find it in their lovers eyes Who can deny the joy it brings When you find that special thing You're flying without wings
Some find it sharing in every morning Some in their solitary lives You'll find it in the works of others A simple line can make you laugh or cry You'll find it in the deepest friendships The kind you cherish all your lives And when you know how much that means You have found that special thing You're flying without wings
So impossible as they may seem You've got to fight for every dream 'Cuz who's to know which one you let go Would have made you complete
But for me it's waking up beside you To watch the sun rise on your face To know that I can say I love you At any given time or place It's the little things that only I know Those are the things that make you mine, all mine And it's the flying without wings 'Cuz you're my special thing I'm flying without wings You're the place my life begins And you'll be where it ends I'm flying without wings And that's the joy it brings I'm flying without wings
The Gettysburg Address Gettysburg, Pennsylvania November 19, 1863
On June 1, 1865, Senator Charles Sumner commented on what is now considered the most famous speech by President Abraham Lincoln. In his eulogy on the slain president, he called it a "monumental act." He said Lincoln was mistaken that "the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here." Rather, the Bostonian remarked, "The world noted at once what he said, and will never cease to remember it. The battle itself was less important than the speech."
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Come one come all, with all that cheese, mushrooms and finely chopped onions from Vinny, there's plenty for everyone! That means you nurcnurc, Abram, HJ (just not a party without cha), Wixo and Dazzle we need you too; someone might gag. Although I can make a mean omlet! And ryia, you started this, so get on over here. Jeepers could you bring the OJ.....? I got no family left, used them all for the omelet!
I've got a bib for ya Vinny, a real manly one! Camo design. All your dribble will blend right in.
That's okay... we all have our druthers; however.....
In case anyone is wondering..... Being of a large stature, I thought I'd share that not all large people have bad hygiene, snotty attitudes and lack self respect.
Calling all Wise Ones......
Thanks everyone!
