Our Very Own Purse Secret: Part II

[candypants1100]

The original thread was at Our Very Own: Purse Secret

It seemed to have died down a little bit, and a few people thought making a new thread might be a good idea. Of course, if people are opposed to it, we can absolutely go back to the original- I just loved this thread and hated to see it die down. I also have a lot of free time that would allow me to check the email and post daily if there were secrets to post.

I created a new email where you can send your secrets. It is purseforumsecret@yahoo.com. The concept, for anyone who is new, is that people email their secrets to the address, and then they are posted without revealing who the secrets are from. This can be a way for you to get something off your chest, and/or get feedback (many secret posters say whether or not they would like feedback).

You can send your secret anonymously via:

http://www.anonymousfeedback.net/

Looking forward to getting some responses!

Thanks for taking this over, candypants. I'm sure twiggers won't mind the relief since she is obviously very busy with school. But like you said, if there is a problem, then I'm sure we can easily go back to the other thread.

For now, I hope that some people are willing to send you their secrets. Thanks for taking over and good luck.

^^^^YAY!!! Just link this one in the first post....who would care? So many people are sad to see this one not being tended to that I think people will be happy! And if Twiggers minds she would be checking the emails more often. This thread is like therapy for people. It shouldn't cause a problem....

^There are a ton of lurkers on tPF and I wouldn't put it past some of them to hijack the e-mail account if you make the password public.

You can try something like this instead:

Wow, that site is a great idea! I'm way more likely to spill my secret now. I loved the old thread but never sent my secret in because my e-mail address is my name.

But I'm going to wait, if I sent it in RIGHT NOW then obviously mine would be the first posted, haha.

Thanks so much for taking over the reins Candy! I love the secret thread and have been missing updates. I'll be sure to keep checking back.

hey- great idea - i'll add it in

hmm for some reason it isn't allowing me to add it in the first post. anyway, www.anonymousfeedback.net is what people can use to keep secrets totally anonymous.

Oh that site is awesome and just perfect for this!! I have thought of people hijacking the email addy..so this is a better alternative!

secret


I never thought I'd feel comfortable sharing my secrets, but thanks to anonymousfeedback.net, I'll give it a shot.

I don't know whether this is particularly scandalous or not, but I've figured out a very sneaky and surely unethical method of returning stuff at TJ Maxx and Marshalls, and I've been doing this for years. Since they get new stuff in all the time and never really know what they have, I noticed that their tagging system is really non-specific. That is, each item has a department number and a SKU number, but there's really nothing to identify an item exactly. So, if I buy a BCBG dress for example, when I get home, I will attach the price tag to another dress in my closet that I've only worn once or twice, and then I'll return that dress instead. It's kind of a way to keep rotating my closet, keeping the things I like, and returning the things I don't end up liking that well. Their return period is only 30 days, so often it's too late to return the original item. 99% of the time, the employees take the returns without batting an eye. I've returned stuff that was a couple years old this way! I suppose this is an indicator that I have a shopping problem... I used to be worse, but now I make enough money that I can generally buy what I want within reason and not feel guilty. However, that doesn't stop me from using this returning scheme. I know I shouldn't rationalize it, but the items I return are in perfectly saleable condition, and the employees and even management don't even know the value of what they're selling anyway (example: I once paid $12.99 for a pair of Cavalli sunglasses!). I know switching tickets is technically "wrong", but I really don't feel bad about it.

Don't forget to add: If you don't want people commenting on your secret, make sure to include that in the email!

secret
I found out a year ago that my boyfriend (an immigrant) married a girl a few months before we met. He married her to get his citizenship. He told me 3 years into our relationship. I was devastated and crushed and it put a huge dent in my trust with him. I love him and we are making it work, but this has just been so hard for me. I understand why he had to do it, but I wish he had told me earlier on. I just hate the whole situation, but don't want it to ruin our relationship.

^thanks vlad!

[Jill]

Thanks Vlad...someone merged it after i already closed the old one..LOL!

New secret Poster doesn't mind if people comment.

This is the only place I feel accepted and like I fit in. I know a lot of people but I don't have any close friends. If you saw me out, you would think I have it all- big smile on my face, a great fiance, the perfect clothes/shoes/bag, everything's just great...But deep down I feel so incomplete. I feel like everyone looks at me and can see the mask I have on.
