LOL! I hope you have a LOT of time. I'd start from the end and work backward in that thread. Once you get to (:rolleyes: *looks around, is Smurf watching?*) tribdog's reply where he has links to all the other photos in alphabetical order, there's no need to dig through all the older photos because he gathered them all in one post.

Okidoki,

gotcha!

That´s what happens when you´re new to a community. :blushing:

Woh, you guys are quite active posters! I wish there was such a community about Psychology!

Unfortunately, our social sciences area (we don't have many people in that area, so all the social sciences are generally lumped together) has been horribly over-taken by threads about IQ, but threads on other areas of psychology would be VERY welcome if you'd like to get involved there (Pleeeeeeeease!). Though, if you're dealing with psychosomatic "illnesses" you might want to visit our biology area as well (my research overlaps with behavioral neuroscience, so I interact with both biologists and psychologists). If it feels a little too lonely there, invite some friends to join. The more the merrier! :smile:

You study what? :eek: You sure sound like a scientist :wink:
There is a really broad audience here so enjoy :biggrin:

:smile: I'm going to take a guess at what it meant...keeping secrets is stressful, and s/he's studying the consequences to our health of keeping secrets.

If, on the other hand, you would care to branch out into abnormal psychology, just stay right here and you'll run into more than you can process in a lifetime. :biggrin:

Just fancy words to say that I am interested in the question if having secrets might have effects on your body. That´s all! :smile:

See, now this is something we can get into in the social sciences area. Are there good and bad secrets (I'm thinking something like the fun inside joke a married couple might share and gives them a reason to laugh together at something nobody else finds funny vs a secret you can't tell anyone because it would get you or someone else in trouble if anyone found out)?

And if you're studying secrets, how do you know people have them? If they tell you, it's not a secret anymore, is it? :-p

So how many people can know about it before it's no longer considered a secret? 1... 2... the Pentagon...?
