Or, when is no news in actual fact not good news?
(Still think “actually” would sound better there….)

At the exact moment that you no longer wish for complete silence?
When it’s a fart in a space suit? Pewwwww :¬D
When someone asks, “do you want to talk about it?” and the response is silence.

Silence is and always will be golden! Sweetest sound there is next to my Strat turned up to 11!
Silence is not golden when no one speaks out against evil.
In my world, silence is almost never golden. I always speak up about stuff that I see.
Okay, mature head on now, (yeah right) Silence is most certainly not golden when on the cusp of sexual climax!!
When you have something to say, but due to very high value for silence do not. But later discover that no one had a better idea. Of course speaking from experience. I’m generally very quiet in person unless there’s decent reason to blabber. And even then, it gets kept on productive targets. But often, good ideas ought to be spoken – because who knows – they could be the best available.
@ucme lmao…you are not right…no, just not right!
when you ask a guy out and he has a silent response and then walks away. You also get no news… which is bad news because the answer is obvious. Do you get what I’m saying here?
Noise is not bad in itself (it is only vibrations in the air), it is the way humans use it that starts to piss people off.

Silence is never not Golden. I love it when people shut up more than anything in the world, especially the wife.
And no news may not be good news say if your friend says, “I’ll call you if I make it home”.
=D
Right before a storm like a tornado Not a good feeling then you have to take cover
When you realize that you’ve gone deaf.
Sometimes things need to be said, or else the pain goes on and on and on. Silence is not golden when it keeps you from solving your problems; when it keeps you in pain.
Silence is not golden when there is a cricket in your bedroom.
Silence stops being golden when there’s a Western Screech Owl outside your window at 2 am and you have to go on fluther and hope someone knows what the hell you are talking about.

@py sue
I am surrounded by western screech owls too, but the crickets are deafening out here every night!
Growing up, my family talked a lot. Silence SCREAMED disapproval! If no one said anything. It came across loud and clear that, “That which shall not be mentioned, is best left without comment.” Really awful, because you’re left out there on your own, knowing full well what the message was and that those who didn’t say anything, felt rather righteous. The halt in conversation, the silence, was glaring. Message received.
@zzc So, silence is golden, unless it’s the silent treatment. Interesting.
@ucme When it’s a fart in a space suit? Pewwwww :¬D funny!
