It just kinda feels better to be positive, doesn’t it? If this is old... I’ll take it.

I have generally found only positive things in being a gossipmonger, when you follow the proper rules:
It’s a good way to get to know people though. Especially those who talk behind their friends backs. If they betray their friends what can one expect? It’s always good to know who you can trust and who you need to stay away from, who manipulates info, who straight up makes up lies. Stay out of it but make mental notes.…
I’ve got three people in my life that I can be a gossipy asshole with, and I reckon that’s pretty healthy. Once a month, I drink an imprudent amount of wine and curl up on the sofa with them and get it out of my system. And then I can move on and keep my true, hateful self on the leash.
Interesting! I love a bit of harmless gossip, just to catch up on people’s lives and compare notes with a friend. (Harmless gossip IMO = only shared with one or two close friends, no divulging other people’s secrets, no mean trash talk. Light bitchiness is ok.)
You’ve got it wrong....you have to steer the gossip. Like if someone says, “Did you get a look at what Yolanda was wearing? That skirt! Whores R Us!”....You say, “If I had those legs I’d just wear a scarf around my waist.” That way you are ‘participating’ without really contributing and at the same time you’re…
I am officially the “place where rumors go to die”. It’s awesome, because if someone has info s/he is BUSTING to share, I get to hear it. If it’s just shit someone is trying to spread about a co-worker, I don’t have to deal with it. Even better, when office bitch tried shit on me, not a single person would go there.
I’m wondering if he was miss quoted and actually meant to say Idris Elba is too suave to play Bond?
Street is a euphemism for black. I’m just surprised they didn’t say thuggish. #progress #justkidding
We all know that’s code for he’s too black to be Bond. But what those fuckwits don’t know is that Idris Elba is everything. EVERYTHING.
There’s been some really interesting research done on gossip from a sociological perspective recently, and the results are a bit surprising: academics have found is that, broadly speaking, gossiping with friends is good for your health, and that people who gossip tend to live longer. Even more interesting is that…
Agreed. I left a lunch table the other day because of this. But before I did, I reminded them that there was a room full of men who work with us having lunch at the restaurant down the street talking about us, and we didn’t need to do that to each other. #huff
It sounds crazy I guess but I engage in mild gossip (nothing too catty, mostly reactions rather than dishing, etc) bc honestly gossip feels like the only way to get information about people. For example, I had no idea this girl consider a work friend was dating a mean guy in another part of the office who’d called me…
When Daniel Craig was rumored to be taking over Bond, not being “suave” enough = not having dark hair.
And then there is this from my friend.
It’s on ModCloth!
Also, “Now, however, ModCloth seems to be on the up and up.”
All my dreams are coming true. ModCloth’s devotion to making clothes for a wide assortment of bodies makes them one of my faves of any store ver and I can’t stop giving them my money. Brick and mortar stores will bankrupt me and I don't care. MODCLOTH 4 LIFE.
