Why such a title?

When I knew I was going to start this blog I also knew I wanted an original title. I keep a notebook in my car and write words down as they strike me. One day on the radio someone mentions the "magpies" being out again. Just the notion of magpies have always made me wonder. What are they? I wrote it down in my pages of words.
Today I finally decided to look it up and it's really kind of funny to me. Yes, magpies and I have one thing in common: we're chatterers. But it also says a magpie is a person who collects things that have been discarded by others. Hummm. You should see my house. I guess I fit both those descriptions.
Whispers. Not only is it to speak softly but did you know whispers can be a secretly expressed belief? Or to tell a secret privately?
Both of these I thought were rather amusing when I looked at my word page, that had most of these words all listed, in one form or another, and written softly on the page.
I am a collector of people, things, memories, and words, and I'll blog as often as I can and chatter about them to those who will listen. Jamie
