Which are you? If you don't like these choices, chose to keep your mouth closed with regards to other people's business.Think before you open your mouth:1) Would you want to have someone gossiping about you? Do you have someone you can talk to and KNOW they won't blab? Isn't that important to you? Wouldn't you like to be that person for someone else?2) Would you rather be trusted by the people around you or just looked at as a living soup opera?Good luck - you can earn your friends' trust but it will take a while for them to believe in the new you.</blockquote>
