It's like the old saying about finding a lost object: it's always the last place you look! Well, I hope so! I would find it exceedingly odd for you, after finding your keys, would continue the hunt for them!

    Hey Karen, thank you so much for dipping into the recent archive and reading my fictitious law. It just seemed to me like I was sick of hearing somethings shared with me that should have been immensely exciting be delivered with the whole home I told everybody else and I don't feel like getting into the details. L O L And yes I get your point about my keys, by the way do you know where I put them? I need to go to town tomorrow. L. O. L. Thank you for the five beautiful stars and the excellent review.

There's a serious message behind this humorous post. So much of the news we hear these days is at second or third hand. The more mouths that repeat it, the less accurate it becomes. Anyone who has played ' Chinese whispers' will be able to attest to that.

    Thank you so very much for stopping by and reading and then rating my entry. Thanks for the encouragement and affirmation. Those were five very nice stars you gave me as well.

This being the first to tell things is a little bit like being the first one to gossip about something what an adrenaline rush that is but we see on the news this just in is another phrase they use I can't remember what it is right now but it's like everything is such an exciting first tell. And of course we have to get the Supreme Court in here what a bunch of crap.

    Ha ha. Thank you so very much for reading and then for taking the time to rate, my tongue in cheek, (somewhat serious): "The Law of First Telling". Thank you also for the five stars that you gave me, I really appreciate them. I just wanna know Liz, why am I the last to know? The last? The very last? L. O. L.

    Probably because you're not a busybody Busybody's know everything and they spread it as fast as they can with great pride that they were the first to tell you and the first to know. So it's a trade, do you want to be a busybody and get credit for all that or just be glad that you are who you are. ... Good tongue in cheek tone

Hahaha!! Please, all I ask is that I'm not the last one to know the outcome of your conversation with The Powers That Be. As a pianist, I have very strong hands, so I will promise you the back rub/neck massage of your life.

You Heard It Here First

    Thanks so much for both reading and rating this law. I also want to express my appreciation for the five star she gave me.
    It's funny you should ask though about my conversation with the powers that be. They have stated that they are going to "Talk it over, and get back with me." Ugh, you SEE WHAT I MEAN!

Thank you for sharing this in such a humorous and innovative way! You could have ranted but you didn't and you formulated the post with legal rhetoric about something personal. But there are applications in the real world as the news both online and broadcast seem to be getting their information third hand. Congratulations on your third place finish!

    Thank you so very very much. I really appreciate your taking the time to read this and those five beautiful stars you?ve given me.
    I really don?t publish very often, not often enough to be on any kind of rating. Here it is July and I think I have published three times this year.. Your words are very encouraging and I might consider writing more often! And thank you for congratulating me on my third place trophy. 🏆. L. O. L.

LOL This was so amusing and entertaining.
I had hoped, though, that you'd have given some examples of big news/info that should have gone to primary/intended subjects first. Like, did you mean literal info/news between real persons, like married couples, co-workers, etc.? On just based on characters in written works?
Anything to keep those lethargic Justices busy, on their toes. So, on to the Supreme Court we go! ...

    Thanks so very much for both reading and reading this piece. Thank you for the five beautiful stars you gave me. You are absolutely right though, and you are not the first to point out the fact that I had an epic fail in my basic duty to give examples. I probably should add them to the Piece, but it is so late now I guess I?m gonna be lazy.
    I did write it, tongue in cheek, but also on another level I meant it! I really appreciate your affirmation of my writing.

This is very interesting, and I have been the last to know things I thought were important for a grandmother - mother to know first didn't happy, like us having a new grandbaby in February. Our son told his twin first, but really that is truly ok with me. I enjoyed reading your contest entry because you know how to write without using ugly words. Best wishes in the contest my friend! Teri

    Teri, I want to thank you so very much for both reading and rating this piece. As you can tell, on one level, this is shared tongue in cheek. On a deeper level, I have been the recipient of a much later telling, where the intensity of emotion and clarity In detail had both waned. I really appreciate the five stars.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I think you might want "titled" it instead of entitled it at the beginning.

Intensity, interest, and intangible - the three I's! Then there's the three B's. Okay, okay, I see where you're going with this:-)

Reading this caused me to think that, perhaps, your spouse has not been giving you pertinent information before other family members or, gasp!, friends! That's how and why the back rub comes in to play.

Dan, I'm so glad I happened across this on the opening page this morning, as I usually read pretty much what's in my inbox then log off. When you enter these into a pay-to-play contest, I don't know you've written anything.

You aren't alone in your frustrations these days. As far as the Supreme Court goes, they're too busy for us these days, as they're bogged down with one petitioner these days. But good luck:-)

You can share your frustrations with us.

Glad I had a six left.

xoxo
Pam

Craziness permeates not only the government but also the Supreme Court, which is plagued by bias and corruption. Sorry,I think your expectation that the Supreme Court would act upon your law in a reasonable manner would not in fact happen. But I find this to be a clever piece.

Forgive me, won't you? I can't help myself -- hahahahahaha!
Alrighty then, now that I have that out of the way, I have a request -- would you write to our Prime Minister here, in Canada? We don't have such a law here, and we could use one.
Oh, and perhaps there IS one thing I would change in your essay -- that example= "If the primary recipient becomes aware of a transgression of this: ("The Law of First Telling"), the narrator must submit to the dispensing of the recipient's physical pleasure of choice. Example: Rubbing of the back." The change I suggest?
The example should be rubbing of the back, feet, any body part requested.
(Have my last six this week.)

    Hey Dawn, I love your style. Everything about it. You understand two of the main reasons writers create :
    1. Impact
    2. Interaction.
    You let me know that this made an impact. You also had great interaction and we?re both emotionally pleased. Thank you so much for reading and rating and giving me your last six of the week.
    I am unable to give you a six, but I am able to nominate you for the reviewing contest. You are the FIRST person I am telling that I am going to nominate you! L O L

    You are most welcome.

    Let me tell you something, I almost made your week!

    At the reviewers nomination page they give you an opportunity to give Member Cent Pumps to the recipient along with the nomination. There's a little box that shows the number and it starts with zero. I clicked on the box and put 5. I pushed the send button and there was a message that said I didn't have that many. I was amazed because I thought I had plenty. When I backed it up I saw that the box had retained 0+ added the five and they thought I was trying to give you 50. I wasn't. That's the only time in my life I'm glad that I didn't have at least 50. L.O.L.
