im so happy today.  I just passed a really important test.

congratulations. You worked really hard and deserved that pass!

Yeah I did actually.  I studied for three days non stop.

That's an amazing feat. Studying is kind of a chore for me.


Yesterday I took a test for a promotion at work. I felt pretty good about it.

I haven't gotten the results yet. I studied for weeks and knew the material well, so it was easy.


My coworker just got selected to enroll in a leadership class offered by my work. I also applied but didn't get selected. I really wish I was in his shoes righyt now!

Yeah that's too bad, sorry to hear that. Do you know why you didn't get picked?

I'm not sure.  I thought I was more qualified than him.  It seems like I can never get what other have.

Keep your head up. Maybe you'll get picked the next time around.


I had a job interview recently and I think I did great. I am pretty sure I will get the job.

Oh that sounds great, I hope you get it!

Yeah I just know I will get a call any minute now with a job offer!

So exciting! Are you happy to move to a new job?


I don't get big companies who think they can take advantage of everyone.

Are you talking about ones that just raise and raise prices?

No ones that don't stand behind their products and services.  When I get a product, it should work right or they should replace it. Or when they make a mistake like charging you twice?!

And they always get nasty with you like it was your fault and not theirs! I feel you.


it really drives me crazy when i let someone out in traffic and dont get a wave

from time to time i do, traffic out here is horrible


I was walking my pet and saw a gross dead animal on the sidewalk.

No way! I turned around as soon as I saw it.

I think as bird or another animal of some sort ate it. That's pretty gross.

I agree. However it is the circle of life and all that, and we are a part of it too.


I live out in the middle of nowhere and after not hearing them at all this summer, I heard a pack of coyotes the other night.

That would be really scary! What do you do if they get close to your home?

I try to set up natural barriers to deter them. I'm sure they are scare of me more so than I am of them but they can be quite the nuisance and scary to see on sight.

I would be terrified! It sounds like you have a good system to deal with them!


I remember when my first child was born. I was overcome with pride and happiness!

I would imagine, that is a huge event! My favorite game was Zelda by the way

Now that my kids are older I should get the Nintendo Switch and teach them to play.  They would love that.

You should, there are tons of age appropriate games like Mario Kart and Splatoon!


So I spent the whole day at work with the fly of my pants unzipped and didn't even realize it.

No, luckily not... or at least they didn't say anything haha.

lol. Well perhaps you got away with it this time


I am very content with what I have been able to achieve in life :)

That is great to hear! What is the achievement that you consider to be your best?

I was able to achieve my main goal when I was 20. I became a national winner in a dance contest and met my husband there! :)

Oh wow! Congratulations, that's amazing! Is your husband also a dancer?

Yes he is! He is very good at it too, I fell in love at first sight!

That is super romantic! That's cool that you guys have a shared passion for dance.


It's amazing how much money I saved this month once I really put my mind to it.

Yes all it takes is cutting back on some things you maybe dont need. I know it can be  hard to do though!

It is a lifestyle change, that's for sure!


A girl i went on two dates with wanted a copy of my house key, yikes!

You barely even know her, what was she thinking?

I don't know, she said she needed a place to hang out between jobs. Stupid me actually gave it to her.

I really hope she doesn't do anything bad to you. You seem like a nice dude.


Thank goodness it's already August! Autumn is my favorite season.

I can't wait for it to cool  down. It's so hot here.

Where do you live? I moved only a few weeks ago from Alabama, and it was always hot there.


MY kids are back on school time. Everyone is asleep!

I can't wait until my daughter is old enough to go to school lol


My husband was up for a big promotion and we had to wait forever.

Yes, finally they let us know that he did get the promotion, but it was almost a 4 month wait - talk about nail biting@!


i had to send my plate back at the restaurant today

the chicken was still very pink in the middle


It was my last cash and I went into Subway bought a sandwich came out and it fell from my hands.

I stepped outside but it was my last money, so I had to go back to work without lunch.

I know the feeling. Its hard to work when you are hungry.

Very hard and people saw when it fell, It was a terrible feeling.


Sooo I just got done packing and I am ready for my trip...

I am going to Australia..  Going to see kangaroos.

Oh wow! I always thought kangaroos were really interesting animals!


That should be a good trip for you.  Ever been there?


I am scared of how work is going to go, it is the start of our busiest period of the year

It'll be OK :) How long does this busyness usually last for?

That period probably lasts about 2 months

Oh that's not tooo bad...can you take your vacation during that time?


My brother isn't very good with money but i just lent him some

Uh oh, be careful about that, you don't want him becoming dependent on you for handouts.

Yeah I don't do that often, but i am certain he will be able to pay me back this time

Well that's good. I hope it works out for both of you, maybe you could give him some budgeting tips.


There is going to be a formal dance party! I have been practicing my dance moves all night and doing my make up!

Nice, I hope you have a great time at the party! Have some fun for the both of us!


Sometimes I look at old pictures of times in my life and kind of wish I could go back for a while.  Do you ever feel like that?

Yes I feel like that every time I look at old pictures!

It's good to know others feel the same.  I mean, I love my life right now, but sometimes it would be nice to go to something simpler for a bit.


Yesterday I spilled some tea on my pants and it looked like I had an accident IN my pants.

That must have been an embarsing situation but we've all been there.

Yeah it was. I was trying to hide behind desks for hours until it dried. Not a good day to be wearing khakis.

haha I'm sure it'll be a good story to tell and hopefully you can laugh about it now.


My friend canceled on me for a concert last minute. Now I have to go alone, it's a bummer, I was looking forward to hanging out with her.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's really horrible when a friend backs out at the last second.

Yeah, maybe I can sell the ticket but the concert is tonight so I doubt it.

There's always scalpers outside of concert venues. That could probably work.


I'm going to a really fun exciting party after work today. I can't wait to get there so I can hang out with my friends!

It should be a lot of fun. Maybe I'll even find a new girlfriend there.


I just started working out again after almost 20 years and I was very nervous at first.

Oh man, that's a long break. How did it go?

It went good. Everything came back to me pretty easily.

Hahaha that's funny. my bad, I feel like i need to hit the gym again as well.

I definitely feel better on days that I go.

Yea it sucks to go but feels great once you leave.


Hi! I've been losing weight recently and it's helped with my anxiety.


My cat sat on my bag right after she came out of her litter box, gross

I'm sorry, but that made me laugh a little bit. I've never been able to get into the idea of cats as pets just because they're so independent and determined to do whatever the want. Doesn't seem like they can listen to any direction you try to give them.

It's true, she doesn't listen to a thing I say, but I just love her so much, she has such a sassy personality

Yeah, it works for some people. I'm glad it works for you. I like my pets to be a little more needy and affectionate, but sometimes sassy can be really fun and keep things interesting and lively.


I am ready for my vacation in late August.


Someone hit a coworker's car in the parking lot, and everyone came together to chip in for the deductible.

That was so nice of them to do such a thing.

It is. I wasn't expecting everyone to come together for one another. This is such a great place to work at.

I bet it is. When things like that happen it makes you really value where you work. Makes it enjoyable.


My kids are 3 and 5 and school starts soon and I can't wait!

That is exciting! So it will be the first real year of school for you and them?

No, my 5 year old was in prek last year and my 3 year old went to mother's day out last year two days a wekk.

I forgot all about prek, you can see mine arent old enough yet. lol Well I am happy for you thats very exciting.


This cutie I met at the buffet yesterday somehow found me on Facebook...thought she used a receipt at first, but then remembered I paid in cash...wasn't expecting that lol

Wow she must really fancy you. You should ask her how she found you.

I did and she still hasn't told me lol...still msging me too it's kinda funny

What a random surprise. Just make sure its not some creepy stalker.


I had such a bad anxiety attack the other day.

I am sorry to hear that.  Maybe you should go see a counselor for help.

it wasnt over stress, it was because my daughter choked on food

That would cause anyone to have an anxiety attack.  I don't blame you.


My youngest sister is about to start her senior year of high school.  I'm so proud of everything she has accomplished.

Oh that's awesome! I am an only child but I bet it's so cool to watch your siblings grow up like that.

Yeah, she's adopted and has been with the family for 14 years now.  I always try and help her study when I get the chance, and I'm excited for this new stage of her life.


I was having a bad day yesterday, but my friends were there to help cheer me up. It's nice to know I can rely on people when I need to

Friends help us in difficult times, thank God we have them

Yes, no one can do things all on their own. That's for sure

I hope you overcome that situation with the help of your friends


I knew my wife's family would help us financially for our marriage, turns out it was right, I appreciate it so much.

Yes well we needed money in order to get married in the first place. All the expenses and fees and paperwork.

I hope you two have a nice future. At least you know the family will support you!


My boss tasked my coworkers and I each with an individual project and whoever did the best would get a promotion. My coworker blew us all out of the water with her project. I only wish I had her skill...

Wow. I'd just use that as motivated to get better. I'm sure you can get to her level or exceed it with some deligence.

I don't know, I felt like I tried pretty hard and poured my heart into my project and still didn't come close. It kind of feels unfair. Maybe she's juts naturally better than I am.

We can't compare ourselves to others. It'll just make you miserable. There will always be someone who is better in something. You could be better at something that someone else isn't.


so i applied for 200+ jobs and i can't believe i didn't hear from none of them!

Bummer!!! Are you looking for a work at home job or just an outside job?

just any job at this point. just a full time stable job

I hear ya.. I hope you find one soon... wishing you all of the best!


I was so scared. I was walking to my car and I thought I was going to be robbed.

It was dark and I was leaving work.  Lots of homeless and drug dealers hang nearby.  A man was creeping around.


I was surprised to see my son mow the lawn with out even me asking him to.

Haha, right on. It's nice when they become a little more self-aware and develop parts of the brain that help them realize it's not all about them, and that it's good to be selfless.

Right! He's learning, I used to have to ask him 5 times and motivate him with money.  Now he just likes to help around the house!

That's the sign of a good parent. You're reaping what you sowed, in a good way. Hopefully it carries on when he's an adult and he becomes another good human being that we have few of


I took like 200 dollars worth of clothes to the counter at macys

Wow, and you just walked out the store with them?

I left my wallet. I was so embarassed I didnt go back after I made it to the counter.

Oh, I thought you stole them, but I've done that before too. Not to that extent though.


oh no. im sure it was an accident. is he young?

4. I wasnt made that he wasted it really, I had just gotten it cleaned though.

i would have been upset for both reasons. especially after just having it cleaned


I didn't get the promotion I wanted, even though my boss said it was virtually guaranteed.

Nope!  I think he's avoiding me.  I went through three different interviews over two months and he was positive about it the whole time.

That's terrible.  Have you said something to HR about this?


A giant wasp tried to attack me on my balcony. Another reason why I don't like to go on my balcony!

Just kidding. There is some products that you can use to avoid those bad experience.


They stopped making donuts at my favorite bakery.

Oh no! Can you get donuts somewhere else?

I can but I'm so hurt thinking about it.

Aw I'm sorry to hear.  I know how it feels.


One time I was in walmart and peed on myself

why did you do that? wasn't there a toilet or something?

Yeah!  I was going there but it was busy during black friday.  I just couldn't hold it anymore!  Everyone saw my wet pants!!!

that must've been embarrassing. you should've went to the toilet.


I feel like our country is becoming unsafe each day

I don't disagree. Why do you feel that way?

Just seems like tensions are building from all of these foreign polices and newly imposed tariffs

I can see that. There's a lot to be worried about.


I just celebrated my 50th wedding anniversary.

Wow, holy cow, how old were you when you got married?

I was 18 and she was 20.  Things were a lot different back then, but I love my wife more with each passing year.

Good, I am glad there is still true love out there!


I spend a lot of time looking at my kds baby photos.

Are they grown up now? They grow up so fast.

three, four and thirteen. And they are all terrible lol jk


I found my old yearbook in a closet yesterday

Yeah it sure did.  I miss some of my old friends.  And some that had passed away already.


My son is in college and about to return for his Junior year. We have made sure to put back ample saving to take care of his financial needs.

Oh, wow, I wish my parents had done that! It would have saved me from the mountain of debt I have now

We felt it was best to make sure to get ready in advance and help as much as we can. But, I know all parents aren't able to do that, or feel they shouldn't, so I can see both sides!

Well, I've always been of the mindset that (if they can) they should help the first 2 years as that's usually the break-in period. After that, the child should be able to manage


I just won something from calling into the radio channel!

that's amazing I have never been that lucky before

Me neither! I get one thousand dollars on the gift card for John's shoe repair and tailoring!

Wow! one thousand is alot. Welldone buddy, enjoy your winning


The past few months have been terribly rough, but I think I can say that they have made me stronger.

Oh no, I am sorry that you have been having a rough time, but I am glad to hear that you have grown from your experiances.

Thank you. I hope that I can move forward and at least learn from these hardships.

Yeah I believe that you will be able to, but never forget you are not alone! I am always here if you need some moral support :)


I moved to a new city and have no friends.

That is a little daunting.  Have you considered joining some groups with like-minded individuals?


A girl I asked out just rejected me. Feels bad man.

Thanks, it was so weird because she showed signs of interest. But she gave me the Nope.

People do that sometimes, and it is really sad.


I was hurt a lot when I was passed up for a full time position I wanted at my company

Yeah, I have been here awhile, I though I deserved it

Are you going to say anything to your surperiors.


I have been providing help and support for a friend that has lost his mon recently.

He is been depressed since he lost his mom. It is terrible for him.

I'm sorry! I meant to say that was so sweet of you. It's good that he has a good friend like you.


My neighbor killed his wife, a year ago. I would sleep during that period of time. I was shocked and afraid.

Oh my god, that is terrible. Has it affected you knowing you slept through that kind of event right next door?

Yes, it affected me. I had to move to another appartment to feel more confortable and forget the event.

I would have as well. I am sorry that happened to you and I hope you can learn to sleep peacefully again.


i knew i shouldnt have trusted my brother with my dog

Oh no. Shouldn't you go and look for him?


I am worried about having enough money for rent.

oh you mean not having enough to pay your rent?

Yeah I don't have many days left to get $100.

I am sure there is a special friend that can help you with that amount and when you have you can repay them back


Goals are a very important part of our life

My main one is to become a mother. I also want to be out of debt ASAP.


I'm so sorry to hear that. Have you tried calling your local shelther or animal control?


about 10 billion dollars, I cant wait to tell everyone and the internet and the world!

That's a lot of money. Can I have some of that?


Im Not the best looking guy ok. At a party I went up to the hottest girl in the room and started chatting with her

That must have taken a lot of courage. What happened next?

she was nice but totally uninterested. I was proud I was able to do it though.

That's great that you could do it. Maybe next time will go better.


I was surprised when my parents got me a car as my graduation present, it was not expected

That is so awesome. I hope you show them how grateful you are.

Well I am sure you deserve it. Just take real good care of it.


When I was younger, I used to always watch my dad's softball games. Recently, he played in a game with his old buddies. It brought back so many memories of the old days.

Ah, I have so many fond memories of playing ball in the yard with my dad!

They are some of the best memories. I'll cherish them forever.

That's fantastic :) Nostalgia is an amazing thing


This was a hard weekend. Second weekend alone.

No. I just kicked someone out. It's different living alone. Peaceful though. But hard.

Was it a significant other? was it the correct decision?


I was totally freaking out when I heard this crazy noise from the dumpster!

I would have been running away. What did you do?

I threw my trash into it as fast as I could and ran back to my car! I don't have any clue what was in there.

LOL....that trash would have been on the ground.


I love to help my daughter with her school work and exams.

It sounds like you are a great parent.  Does she appreciate all the help you give?

Thank you and yes she does the memories together just pleases me so much I cherish these moments.

She will definitely appreciate it when she gets older too.  I still remember my dad helping me with math homework and cant thank him enough for the help he gave me throughout the years.


Not really.  He lived with me YEARS ago but since moved back to his state he came from.  I'm closer to the family though.


I had about 6 or 7 hummingbirds in my yard the other day feeding.

Oh how exciting! Did you take any pictures?

No. my camera isn't good enough to get good pictures, they are so small.

Awww...that's a bit disappointing, but really cool that you got to see them!


IF two years is recent lol. Today is my birthday and I don't want to cook.

Happy Birthday! Well, you can order out of course.


Every time I am promised a promotion they give it to someone else.  It just happened again!

It is really irritating.  It makes me think I need to go find a new company.

I agree, your talents would be better suited elsewhere.


Speaking of food. I forgot to refrigerate the leftoves last night

not at all.Everything got hard and stale. Our kitchen gets hot on summer nights

That sucks. Must hurt throwing all that away.


I get so annoyed with people who say one thing and do something else. My boss is one of those people. I wish there was just instance that I could be like this is where he annoyed me, but that isn't the case. It happens every day.

I'm sorry to hear you're having to deal with that

Yeah, it can get annoying at times. I just stir clear of him when he is around.

Sounds like the best thing to do honestly


I was inspecting rooms yesterday when I bent down to look under a bed, I felt the back of my pants tear. The hole was the entire back of my pants.

Oh no! I'm so sorry! I hate when that happens!

Yes, I have a staff of 30 and I think each one saw me at some point in the day. I have Khaki's on. I had to tape and staple the hole.

Ugh! That's the worst! Too bad you couldn't run home and change!


During this past spring during a bad storm, we had a tornado touch down in my neighbors yard.

Oh my gosh!  That had to be super scary!

It sounded like a train going by the house from the basement. Thankfully no one was hurt.

Yeah, thank god you are safe.  I don't know what I would have done if that happened to me.


My coworker is always coming over to my desk and talking for long periods of time. It causes me to get behind sometimes.

I try to but don't want him to think I am being rude.  I might have to though if it keeps taking me away from work.


It is my wish to not live from paycheck to paycheck

It is a great desire that you can achieve, just rely on your abilities to independently do what you know.

I wish you can achieve success in your projects.


My daughter has become so responsible over the summer.

I really am. I used to have to tell her things over and over, but she has gotten everything ready for school and it doesnt start for 1.5 weeks.

That is really impressive considering summer is really tough to learn that!


I'm going to meet characters in disney world!

That sounds like so much fun! Is this your first time?

This is my first time since I was much smaller as a kid.

You will have a lot of fun. It really is nice there.


I am pleased with my children's score at school

Thats always a good thing.  Did you give them a fun reward?

I bought them new cloths and we are all going to Disney World  this weekend

Thats so cool..  I live in Orlando.. I'll wave to you guys!


I get my final grades for last semester this week and I am sure I did great.

That is awesome. What is your future endeavor comprised of ?

Thats quite the diverse field ! My son changed that major because it has too much Math involved. He graduated with an Infomatics degree


I looked back at some old photos the other day, it was nice to look at some old memories.

Yeah I like looking at my old pictures too!

It was really nice to experience some nostalgia.

Yeah it is good to think about the good ol' days!


Our mail carrier keeps leaving packages outside instead of putting them in the lobby.

that is frustrating, especially if the weather isnt ideal

Exactly! It rained the other day and my package was totally ruined.

that is unfortunate, im sorry that happened!


Job interviews are hard for me because I get so nervous beforehand.

Me too, I haven't really found a good strategy to avoid the nervousness to be honest.

Right! It is everything leading up to it that is the worst. The interview itself is never so bad.

Yeah the more you think about it the more you let your expectations and imaginations put fear into you, guess we have to avoid doing that somehow.


I have been without water for two days and my water company still hasnt fixed the issue.

Thats the thing. I haven't bathed in two days and its making me angry.


My family is very loving. They care about me so much.

I agree. I hope you are also close to your family!

I am i love them very much. However we live on opposite parts of the country.


This past wednesday, I left my class very late and there weren't many people outside, and a random car pulled up to the curb where I was.

I'm not too sure, but it was just dark and empty, and my first instinct was to just run, and that's what I did. The car didn't follow me thankfully.. maybe it was just random. But it was sketchy.

It's smart to play it safe. Sometimes we are unable to predict what other humans are capable of.

Exactly! It was really scary, and I would rather be safe than sorry.


I don't think I will, its been over a month.

He's probably just gone on holiday, I'm sure he will come back with gifts.


I love looking at old photos. Makes me miss the good old days.

Me too. Old photos bring about such nostalgia.

Yeah, even ones from 5 or 6 years ago! Especially ones of the kids.

I can only imagine! When my parents open old photo albums of my siblings and I, they get teary-eyed.


That is good. What are some of your favorites?

pumpkin patch picking. making thanksgiving dinner. opening gifts on christmas morning all together.


I'm so scared of bugs! i found one in my hair yesterday and almost died


My husband ran over a cat this morning on accident, I'm so upset.

Aw, I bet he feels horrible about it.  Poor kitty!

Yes, we had to call animal control to retreive the body! I hope it wasn't someone pet.

Aw, that's always sad, I lost a cat once and I assume that's what happened to her ;(


I ordered a lot of food from a restaurant with coupons yesterday. When I got the food, they didn't even ask for the coupons! I did not expect it.

What! You still got your discount tho right? So you get to use them over again!?

Yes, I got the discounts but I think they forgot to ask for the coupons. I get to save it for another time haha.

thats righty! you better go buy a lotto ticket because you are deff lucky


My bus didn't show up on time and I had stand out in the rain for an extra 20 minutes earlier.

That's odd... Usually buses are always on time. Maybe the weather had something to do with it. I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. All dried off now?

I'm on a pretty bad bus line, though it would make sense if it was the weather. Yes, all dried off now, thanks!

Glad to hear it. Hopefully you didn't have any electronics with you... That would be my worst nightmare!


I think I am ready to leave my current job, I have done my research and I could afford to make the leap

You can if you believe in yourself. but you will never know unless you try


I spilled tea over myself at dinner with my in-laws and just wanted the earth to swallow me in that moment.

Oh no, that must have been embarrassing... but it happens.

Yea it keeps me up a night, even thought its been a week!

Wow you might have gotten a little bit of trauma from it. But I'm sure it will fade from memory eventually.


My wife has been out of the country for school for 2 months.  I misread the calendar and thought she was getting back a week earlier than she is.

So you have to wait a week longer to see her again? That stinks.

Yeah.  It could be worse, but it definitely put a cloud over things for half an hour or so.

Yeah, I can imagine. At least it's only one week!


I went shopping today and when I came out to my car I was furious.

uhoh, what happened? did someone hit you?

I came out and someone had hit the bumper of my car and just took off without saying anything


Ah, I often think back to when my husband and I first met and started dating. It was so long ago, yet feels like it was only yesterday.

That sounds wonderful!  Time flies, doesn't it?

Yes, it does. So many good times and good memories.


I love kids. I want to give some a home one day.

Three. I think I would be a good foster parent too

I'm sure you would with all that experience!


I found some old pictures from when I was a kid.

ah thats always nice to do every once in a while.


Spiders is one of my gratest fear they make me so scared

I also do not like spiders. I don't even like watching Spiderman due to not liking spiders.

i have tried to overcome my fear but i just cant they make my skin temble

Maybe you can go see a doctor and he can help you with your fear.


I am so sorry to hear that. Was she able to go surrounded by you guys?

Yes, she had cancer so we knew she was going to pass soon. My daughter won't stop crying.

It's hard to lose a family member like that. You guys should take some time to grieve.


Last week I was at the park with my kid and got distracted by my phone. I looked up and my daughter was gone! My stomach dropped and became really scared. Luckily I found her in the tube slide.

oh god that's worse than thinking you lost your phone for a second, i am aware of the feeling, how are you feeling now

I feel fine and have definitely learned my lesson.


I cheated on my math test the other day.

I feel really bad about it. I've never done it before and now I can't sleep.

Do you think you will tell the professor/teacher about it?


At my job a coworker took credit for a job I had completed. Once I found out, I went straight to my boss and got it straightened out.

Good job.  Your coworker sounds like a shady little b**ch did you let him/her know what's up

I found them and gave them a piece of my mind. What kind of person does something like that.

For real.  Glad you had enough self-respect to handle it, most people dont'


Me and my friend have so many memories at the neighborhood playground. It's gonna be torn down now

Don't it always seem to goooo That you don't know what you've got til its gone...

Sure does. Gotta appreciate things while they're here.

Counting Crows? Lol nevermind....but that's a bummer, hope you saved pictures at least


A week ago I invited everyone to my birthday party and everyone was sure they would come, but on the last minute, they all came up with excuses

Yes, I felt very sad and lonely, not a good way to spend the evening


I can't believe my husband hid a talent her had from me for 15 years.

That sounds interesting.. What was it? And how did you find out? And why did he hide it! If you don't mind me asking, of course...

I happen to come across all his drawings. He is as good as most professional artists!

Oh I see.. Well that's a pretty positive talent then, huh? Maybe you should encourage him to keep doing it. Maybe he misses it. You could get him a present for his birthday or Christmas that was related to drawing tools/pencils and all that.


My next door neighbor is so inconsiderate!  He plays loud music at all hours of the night!

I have spoken to him multiple time and he says he will turn it down but never does!


I got a call about job with a good company that is in my line of work.

That's excellent! Is it a done deal yet?

No, but I have the necessary experience, and I'm optimistic that it will work out.


I have a big interview tomorrow. I feel ready. I have my resumes printed out and everything.

Wonderful!  It always feels so good to be prepared and ready to crush an interview.  I bet you'll get the job because of that preparation and confidence.

I feel like I can answer anything that comes at me. Im ready to kill it. Thank you.

Awesome!  Let me congratulate you ahead of time cause you've got this!


I went around work all day today with a hole in my pants, right on my bottom.

Ahhhh! I've done that before, but I noticed it quick.  Did you not know til the end of the day?

Yep! No one told me. :( I have no idea how many people noticed or saw it.

That's embarrassing, ah, I'm sorry.  Just play it off tomorrow at work!


I knew i would pass my test after all my studying

That's good to hear. What subject was this in?

Math is the worst sometimes, especially when you see the test and panic since you know nothing.


I took leftover money from the self-checkout lane at the grocery store. I felt bad afterwards.

Did you try to go to the grocery store to give it back?

No, I feel like that would be incriminating myself. Not sure what to do.


I've been quite upset with my daughter's school as they've really let her down. To make a long story short. Since she's now the only surviving 8th grade strings student (violin), they've lumped her in with the regular band this year rather than let her play with the 7th grade strings class.

I would be upset too! Why would they do that? did you try talking to teachers or principal?

They'd have to hire someone to teach just her this year. Next year, there will be more, but she'll be gone. Yes, I've talked to everyone and they're not going to do anything until next year, after it's too late to do my daughter any good as she'll be moving on to high school.

gosh that's frustrating! I'm sorry to hear that


I haven't been sleeping well for a few days now because my husband was on a 30 hour road trip to get our new puppy.

Oh wow. I know being away from our loved ones can make it hard to sleep. Have you tried to listen to nature sounds? I have an app on my phone and I play rain sounds to help me sleep.

That's a great suggestion. Last night I actually did sleep a bit better because I opened the window and was able to listen to outdoor noises like crickets and cicadas.

I love listening to nature. I live in the country, and could not imagine being in the city. I lived there for a few months, but there was too much traffic and noises that kept me up. I moved back to the country.


I never thought I'd say it but these days I'm just stoked waking up and living the dream...I'm fully self-employed and answer to NOBODY and I have full autonomy of time, making more money than I did my previous crappy job...it's great

You must feel so content at this point. It must have taken a lot of hard work to get to this point!

Yes you have no idea...still grinding it out everyday but it's totally worth it

I am glad that it is finally paying off! Keep it up because independence is the sweetest thing.


I ate my wife's leftovers while she was taking a nap


Yesterday I was walking in the mall and my foot caught the edge of a carpet on the floor, I ended up tripping and busting my nose on the floor!

I feel like my ego was hurt more than my nose, but yes, it hurt like hell!

I hope both our ego and your nose heal up quickly!


Sometimes I watch ahead on a tv show if there's a cliffhanger. I should wait to watch it with my boyfriend but I don't haha

lol! My mom used to do that with books, she would read the ending first.

Oh well that's just spoiling it for herself haha.

Nope she still reads it all. Same thing you do silly! lol


I'm sure it's hard waiting for the new releases when it's a game your hyped up for! I enjoy playing games too!

I enjoy RPG games the best. So, I really liked Fable, Halo, Sims, Assassin's Creed, etc.


It's so nice living here with my mom and dad.

Nope i'm quite content to be here as long as I can.

i miss waking up to my moms big breakfasts. i actually live a block away from her


I am having second thoughts about my three month long trip.

That's a long time to be away. Are you going by yourself?

The opportunity probably won't come along to many times in a lifetime. You should take advantage of it and enjoy yourself as much as you can.


I have my driver's license test tomorrow. Been practicing all week for it.

Nope! I've been practicing so much that I am sure to crush it.


My boyfriend bought me an outfit by himself and I actually loved it.

Really, I can't believe you like it. Are you sure he bought it and not his mom lol?

Hmmm, I hadn't thought of that. Maybe she did!  It fit me perfectly and everything!

Either way you have the perfect outfit to go on a date with your boyfriend right?


Whoa congrats. You must be very excited.

I am!  It can't come fast enough!  I'm hoping for great weather since it'll be outside.

That is so awesome. Im sure it will be a very fun day to share with everyone.


Who does my neighbor think he is hitting on my wife at the block party??

It is, I hope he steps on a nail! What a jerk!!!


I just grounded my son for a very long time!

Yikes! What did he do to deserve that kind of punishment?

He got in trouble for shoplifting at the mall!

Oh man! You're right for punishing him. Theft is very bad!


Someone paid off my student loans for me? I'm shocked!


I've been having to pee a lot lately. I know that's one of the symptoms of diabetes, and my dad has diabetes, too. Kind of worried to go to the doctor and get checked out.

Have you been drinking more water lately? or it's just happening for no reason?

I feel like it's been for no reason, but I might be paranoid. Everything has been the same so far. I just figured I'd go get a check-up anyway, since it's been a while.

That would be a good idea, it's better to get tested and treated early if it is anything serious!


Reflecting back on my youth, I remember all the times I'd steal candy bars from the convenience store on the way home from school

haha we all did crazy things when we were young! did you ever get caught?

No. I'd stop in with a group of people walking home, and slyly take my pick while others were legitimately buying.

good plan.  Wait until the shopkeeper was busy with someone else.


I was beaming when my daughter scored the winning goal for her soccer game. She trains so hard and really deserves the praise.

Aw, That's awesome.  The training paid off and I bet she feels really proud!

Yeah I have a minivan with bumper stickers boasting of all her accomplishments. I am her #1 fan!

Haha, I bet, when she becomes a pro you can say you've been her fan since day one!


My neighborhood put together a community wide cleanup day, it was great fun and such a sight to see!

That is so beautiful! Are you going to do it every year now and make it tradition?

I think so, it was such a great turnout, it'd be silly not to!

Right! Thats what I am thinking too... so cool when communities come together like that.


I hate when you're with someone else in public, and they're super rude to the waiter or salesperson or whomever.

It is annoying especially if in certain situations.

Especially if they're being irrational. I worked in retail for a long time so I sympathize with others in that position.


When I lay in bed with my kitties at night. All of my problems fall away.

That is so sweet. I love cats, but I'm allergic to them so we can't have any. It makes me sad.

That's really sad. I'm allergic to them if they aren't brushed or if they don't clean themselves. It's an awful feeling.

I'm glad they help you forget about all your cares though. You are lucky to have them


I ordered a dress for a party and it was arriving the same day as the event.

Well the dress didn't fit. I should have worn shorts


I'll be giving my first speech in a long time next weekend.

That can be scary! Do you feel prepared?

I'm terrified of public speaking. I'm not sure!

You'll be okay! Use the age old public speaking advice, picture everyone in their underwear! Good luck!


have you gone to the doctor yet? or is it not that serious

It's not that bad, she's just resting in bed.

oh ok, so it is just a  common cold then?


I have a big exam coming up! My nerves are getting to me.

Thanks! It is my final exam for a summer class studying Database Design. I actually should be taking it right now.


My new Tesla drove on autopilot effortlessly on the highway.

I am not sure, I had my hands just above the wheel though. I was really impressed that it drove so well.


we asked the doc to put the ultrasound in an envelope so we could record our reaction to the gender reveal. I was very happy when I finally saw it!

Congrats! What gender did your child end up being?

thanks. no mistake about it, it's a boy! lol. Takes after his father ;)

That's great my man! I can't wait for my first son. So far 6 daughters :(


I am definitely a proud parent of our 15 year old -- she was determined to work this summer, and even with us saying no one would hire her until 16 -- she found a job!

Well, that's impressive! I can see why you are proud. Sounds like a hard working young lady!

That, and she's enjoying the independence of having her own money. Remember that? Making money that you truly could use for your *pleasure* (and not just necessities ?! ;-))

Yes, I was the same way too! I started working two days after I turned 16 so I could have my own money too!


I was heartbroken when my grandmother passed away, I still am not over it

That is always tough to deal with.  Time can help, but it can't get you over the loss of a loved one.

It is, and time heals all, but very slowly

I agree.  Things can always get better, just remember her and honor her the best that you can.


No I think it was stolen. We went to the park and i dont know what happened.

It very well could have been. I'm sorry, that sucks.


I trust my family with my life, they are the first people I go to

It is really nice to have a great family.  Do they live close by?

That is great.  Having a great family network makes life so much better.


I had my front door open and a cat (not mine) ran in my house.

Not yours? That is so weird, usually they  are on their way OUT not IN! Lol

I know! we were all surprised. My god was going nuts and my cat hid under the couch while we chased the stray around trying to get it out.

Did you eventually get it out? I would have been flipping bonkers!


I was anticipating the first day of school for a few days

A new school year can be a pretty exciting thing.  Is it a new school year for you or your child?

Highschool was a long time ago for me, but from what I remember I had great times.


My friend just got a job paying 20k more than me. I've got more experience

That sucks.  If it makes you feel even slightly better,  the dumbest, most imcompent coworker I have makes more than me... because you know.. nepotism.


So a few weeks ago a tire on my car blew while i was driving it on the highway.

Oh no! What happened? Did you get into an accident?

Thankfully no, I was able to control it until I got it off the road to the side.

That has happened to me before too. The car started swaying side to side from the rear tires but I just took my foot off the gas and let the car do what it wanted until I was able to stop. So scary! I know how you feel.


When I was in high school, a few classmates and I cheated on a math test. I regret that too this day.

It's a chance to turn a new leaf by  getting a high score even without cheating

That is true! I have vowed to never cheat, or help any cheat on anything as it is highly unethical.

That's good. The first step towards turning new is to resolve and take action.


My coworker forgot to turn in the paperwork to switch our on call weeks. He ended up costing me $250! I'm so mad!!!

I am sorry that happened. Don't do him any favors.


Oh I hope you get it! It can really help out or just be a splurge

Yeah it is nice to be able to go out and just spend a little money!

Definitely, it's good to work for a company that does that too


So yeah this Log even hit me square in the face and i ran out of the car.

Wow, it's a wounder you did not get killed!

Dude the doctor and my parents thought the same thing.

Nah, I did have shards of glass on me for a couple of days even after taking showers.

I was in a accident years ago and found glass coming out of my scalp for weeks. So I know how it is.


My friends went to an event without me, but I'm sure they have a good reason to.

Hm... I don't know how I would feel about that. Do you have a good relationship with them?

Yea, we do. Does it sound like a bad thing?

Well, if you did not have a good relationship then it would seem like maybe they didn't take you on purpose.


The new madden finally comes out friday!

Hey, I'm looking forward to it too! Can't wait to crush my co-workers.

I play on the PS4. It's the only way to play Madden.


I'm waking up everyday feeling like my life is getting more and more on track toward my goals.  It's pretty great

That should be an awesome feeling. I do wish you all the best in life.

You're welcome! you have your whole life ahead of you, you are a star.


Me too, he's so real. He loves what I love. MMA, poker, guns, WWE, hahahah


Having this new baby puppy around reminds me of how fragile life is.

Just 2 days old :)  I remember when my other animals who have passed were babies. Circle of life

Oh wow, that's adorable.  I'm sure its very fragile and cute, wish I could see it!


Our little chihuahua was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease when she was just a puppy.

Oh no!  Were you able to take care of him with medicine or treatments?

Yes, for about 6 years.  Then she got pancreatitis and kinda went downhill from there.  We just lost her in February.

I'm so sorry!  I know how hard it is to lose a pet!  I hope you are not sad for too long.  It sounds like you did everything you could to give it a great life.


My students have a big test coming up to see if they can move to the next grade. I think they'll do great! I made sure they were well prepared.

That's wonderful that you are looking out for them like that.

Well, it is my job to teach them! Kidding aside, it was very tough to prepare them but I believe we got this one in the bag!

Awesome! I'm sure they will all do their best!


I forgot what I was saying during my speech at work.

Oh no, that is embarrassing.  Were you able to recover by the end?

I am so sorry that happened to you.  Will you get another crack at it sometime?


I've been going to a new school for weeks and still don't know anyone. I always eat my lunch by myself.

It's not good to be stuck alone. I'm sure you can make friends with someone there!

Yeah, I've just been so busy studying that I haven't had the chance yet.

Take it from me, you've got to work on getting over that shyness before it's too ingrained in you! I'm still pretty introverted but I enjoy meeting new people now and it helps with my emotional state a ton.


My next door neighbor is currently having a pool installed. I am so envious! I want one very badly since it is so hot here in Florida!

I bet! I would be so jealous, too! Maybe your neighbor will let you come over and swim?

Haha!  That's funny because I was thinking the same thing!  Maybe I will just save money to get my own pool.

That's a great way to look at it- take advantage of their investment for now- and then later you can have your own pool!


Have had this roommate for a year. Decided to renew lease with him. Been pretty good so far.. except he has a problem remembering to flush the toilet--no matter whether it's #1 or #2. Getting kind of old.

That is a very big problem to me! However, if you signed a new lease with him it seems as if you can deal with it right?

Yeah I guess.. I mean it's much more annoying to me to have to do another roommate search. Searching for roommates and apartments in general is just so annoying, and I'd rather spend the time trying to make money for rent and all that. But yeah, not sure why some people have these kind of quirks.

Well it seems that you have to deal with him for at least another year. With that in mind I hope you have more than one bathroom. I suggest you let him keep his poop in one without cleaning it up until it starts to bother him!


I am looking forwad to the soccer season starting again

That's exciting! Do you have a favorite team?

I support Glasgow Rangers in Scotland and SD Eibar in Spain

Cool. That sounds exciting. I hope they do well this year!


I lent my friend 500$ and she never paid me back. Ugh. I am too nice sometimes.

Wow, that sucks. Do you know if she will eventually? Can you trust her?

I think she will.  I hope she will.  I feel betrayed.

Yeah I would too. I hope you get the money back!


I accidentally ran into a glass wall at work. D'oh :(

I am. Just bruised pride is all, thankfully. It was not the best feeling having everyone stare at you

I understand. It is difficult to have everyone staring at you


My wife told me she had some news for me the other day, she wanted to tell me she was pregnant.

Yeah we weren't reallllyyy trying, so it definitely wasn't expected, but still good news!

even better honestly then you didnt have to deal with the stress of trying and it just came natural!


yea it was very painful, i hate when it happens


I just saved 20 percent on my car insurance by switching to another company.

Yes, it was.  I am very thankful for the savings!

That is great, what will you do with the extra money?


I had to have an MRI done on my head due to some medical symptoms, and I was really nervous about the results.

That kind of stuff is always scary.  Do you have the results yet?

Yes, luckily the doctors said that MRI showed no serious signs of symptoms such as tumors, or anything like that.

I am so glad to hear it!  Are you feeling better, though?

I feel a little bit better. I've been trying to regain some energy. Thank you for asking.

I don't really know what's been causing the strange symptoms I've been having. I pray that my health is restored.

I do too.  My wife has been very sick for the last 13 years and she just switched to a diet called Nutritarian and after three months is almost back to her old self.


I got a call from my friend.  Him and his wife are expecting their first kid and were just told they are having triplets!

I have no idea.  I do not think they have them picked out yet.  They are still trying to wrap their head around having three kids.


I'm sorry to hear that.  How old is the cat?

She is 23. If she isn't better in a few days, we will have to put her down.

Ohh no.  That is a long life for a cat, and I know that makes it even harder.  I hope she gets better!


My manager keep lying about a promotion that he promised.

I am sorry to hear that.  How long has he been promising you the promotion?

About six month now. It is making me angry.

I can imaging.  He sounds pretty spineless and shady.


Im so ready waiting for my package to arrive today.

I love package delivery days!  I've got a couple coming as well.  What are you waiting for?

I am waiting on a fitness machine to come.

Oh wow, a big package!  Hope you enjoy it!


watching western movies reminds me of being a child.

did you watch them with someone special?

aw that's sweet.  I'm sure they loved it more than you know.


I dont live in a nice neighborhood. It wasnt like this when I moved here

worse. much worse. Im too scared to walk around here now

That's horrible, you should set up an app that lets your family track you


Yesterday I bought a croissant inn the bakery and when I paid they gave me the wrong change.

Wow thats annoying.  but I hope they gave you more than you were supposed to get back

Not the worst part is that cashier insisted I had given her $10 when I was sure it was $20.

I had to speak to the manger to get my money back.

You should call and ask to speak to the manager.  Maybe they will give you something to make up for it


Last weekend, my family and I enjoyed a nice meal together, and then watched a movie. It was a relaxing time at home, just enjoying each other's company.

Yes, it was drama free and a relaxing time.

Must have been so nice, what movie did you watch?


That's awesome. You guys sound very close!

We are. I don't know what I'd with out her.. and her wallet lol


They've been here a week and they are so loud.

I know there probably isnt much you can do. :/ I hope it gets better...


I went on a bunch of job interviews last week. I have a good feeling I will get an offer soon.

It's good to be confident. I am sure you will get some good news soon.

I really hope so. I felt I did well on a few of them. I guess we will see.

You did great. Just wait and don't stress about it.


well I started my new job this week... It is weird to be with people who don't know me

I'm sure. But it's a fresh start. Your the new person you can make people think any thing about you that you want.

Thats the hard part!  I feel like I don't know who I am.. or that like I am holding back from being me 100% while I decide.

Just be your self then. Who cares what they think.


I have many health problems that have prevented me from having children

Oh my. I am so sorry. That must be so difficult. Are you exploring any other options like adoption?

If I can get my health under control I would definetly look into that.  I use to be very sad everytime I saw people with their children but I have finally learned to be content in my situation

I hope you are able to have a child some day. I truly hurt for anyone that struggles in situations like this. I have to aplogize in advance. The topic I chose was about my daughter. I do not want to make you feel sad.


On my birthday my parents give me a decent sized check

Thats awesome. I love getting money as a gift.  Then you get to spend it how you want

It helps pay for bills and debt, I am so appreciative of it

Paying off debt is where i am now.  its hard work, but so worth it


Yes, I totally agree. Now if I could get my parents to agree I'd have it made.

That's good. Some parents can be old fashioned.


My kid's school makes sure all the kids' parents know how to fill out low income forms. There are so many parents who don't know enough English, and their kids go hungry when they don't have to.

That's a good thing, right? So the families can get the help they need?

Yes. It's absolutely good! I'm glad the school identified that problem. Many schools don't.

I can't begin to imagine how difficult it must be for the kids in that situation. It seems the school really has their back.


There are a bunch of people who really don't! I don't get really why people are afraid of it, though.

Yeah, I guess I can see why that would frighten some people.. Nightlights work wonders!


It is very nice. I don't get enough of them.


My neighborgood wasn't so safe last year.

Oh neighborhood, lol I thought it said neighbor for a second! Why wasnt it safe?

Now I see the mistake I made too lol. There just were abunch of bad people around. This summer was nice for the kids though. They are all gone.

Typos happen to the best of us right! Im glad the summer was atleast nice for them and that the bad people left!


My kids birthday was last weekend, my whole family showed up! they didn't even tell me they were coming

Wow, that had to be quite a surprise.  I hope you like them

Yea, i do. hah. They live a few states away, which is why it was so unexpected. don't see them often.

Well thats good.  Hopefully it was a good party!


My husband an I thought we would treat ourself toa nice dinner. I went to take a bite and looked down, thank goodness I did, there was a really nice piece of hair wrapped around my food

A "really nice" piece of hair?  Yikes.  Did you send it back?

I sure did. Told the waiter that I wanted to talk to the manager. When he came out I was real nice about it. Just happy I did not have topay for it

Well good.  Hopefully you got your food re-made though.


I get sentimental about my family, they mean a lot to me and I do not know what I would do without them

They must have really been there for you.


Man, these candidate robo-calls are driving me nuts!

Some days I get 3 or 4. I don't even know how they got my number. I'll be so glad when election season is over!

Should be ending soon and you can go back to your normal life without those pesky calls.


I miss when my kids were younger. They wanted to spend a lot of time with me. Now they are too old for that stuff.

Well, kids eventually grow and become independent. Maybe you can try and go fishing with them or something? Or a family picnic?

Well they would rather hang out with their friends. I will try to bribe them with money.

That would work too! Or maybe a good meal?


I got my foot looked at recently by a doctor, boy was I nervous going into it.

Oh, that's annoying! I hate going to the doctor...freaks me out. I always feel like they're going to tell me I'll die in 5 weeks

Yeah I feel the same way, then it ends up being nothing serious usually anyway.

Similar to most things, yea. What was wrong with your foot?


I spilled water all over myself at school and it looked like a peed on myself! ugh

Oh geez! That would suck! I hope it wasn't a cold day? Could you drive home and get new clothes?

luckily no because im in florida but ugh i felt so dumb!

Oh I have numbness in my hands so I am always spilling things so don't feel too bad! I understand though. As you can see- I don't like having stuff on my clothes either lol


I went on a 4 hour roadtrip the other day and i hate when people play on their phone when I am driving

A road trip sounds fun, but I agree with you. I feel like I am a cab driver when people are on devices and not talking to me at all.

Yea, if im focusing on driving, i need someone else to keep me company.  its like when someone sleeps when you are driving


My preschool aged son got invited to a birthday party last week and I wanted to take him, but I was a bit nervous because he's been acting out lately and I didn't want him throwing a tantrum in public.

I did, and he was well behaved luckily! He was definitely not one of the most unruly kids out of the bunch haha.

Is he just naturally unruly or does he have some sort of condition?

Oh no haha he is just like a typical three year old, they all go through these "threenager" ages where they like to challenge you a lot.

I'm aware of the "terrible two's"  I've never heard of the threenager but, im not surprised to hear of it


Our daughter's dance program sent out new tuition notices.  They've decided to change the pay structure and everything at the last minute!

That's so mean! I think they should honor the original prices they set

I agree, but they've decided to change how they run the entire place over the summer apparently.  It's going to cost us quite a bit more and we had no warning.

I think that's unethical. I would switch to a new one if I could (and all her friends weren't there)


I met this girl from Tinder one time and it went so badly haha.

She was super awkward and that made me awkward too.


Next month my wife and I will take our first vacation since we got married.

that is awesome i will never forget the first time me and my wife went on vacation, where do you have planned to go?

We are going to Hawaii for a whole week. We have saved a long time to be able to afford this, I can barely wait till next month.

That sounds like you guys will spend a lovely time over there good luck


A week ago, my partner invited my relatives to my birthday without me knowing. It was a good surprise gift from her

I know. I felt very happy and included when they all came to celebrate this special moment with me

You must have some great people in your life.


I can't wait for Fall. This summer heat is killing me.

Tell me about it. It's over 100 almost every day here and it's so humid it makes the air feel sticky!

I can't do over 80. Where are you that it's over 100?!

Central Louisiana. Hot and gross out here! Imagine a steaming swamp.


I remember when the PS4 was first launching.  It was the first game console I ever ordered onilne and I was really looking forward to having it delivered.

What was it like when it showed up on your door?

I was watching the front door like a hawk, and constantly checking for online tracking updates.  I kept worrying that someone would steal it of my porch if I didn't get it right away.

Thats hilarious, You finally got it though uhuh?


A good friend of mine moved away recently and we lost contact. I really wish we would still speak.

I know how that feels. Maybe try reaching out.

That's a good idea. Maybe I'll try that soon.

SOmetimes you have to be the bigger person


My dog is walking a bit slower these days, he's 15.


The other day, my three year old didn't know I was paying attention to her while she was playing with the dog. I overheard her trying to teach the dog how to count to ten.

That is amazing. She is a very smart girl.

Yes, I thought that was pretty good for a three year old. When I asked her about it she said they were playing school. Haha.

You must be proud of her. That is a lucky dog, a bark for each count. Haha.

Indeed you are I am proud of her as well.


There was a story about a duck being a mother to 76 ducklings.  It was so sweet.

That is a lot of kids, imagine raising that many kids!

No thanks, ha.  I guess it was a huge deal with scientists as ducks usually only care for up to 15 and the largest known was 35.

wow, that is huge, they must have abosrbed kids from another duck or something


I cry every time I think of my late cousin.

That's hard to lose someone so close to you. At least their memory will live on forever with you.


Wow really? That's interesting. And yet he still teaches?

Yep. He's one of the more popular teachers, too.

I guess he really does do it for the passion of teaching then.


My old hard drive that had a lot of pictures on it went out on me. I'm so upset.

I don't. I guess that's a dumb decision on my part. I should have prepared for this, it was getting old!

Its ok, you can always make new memories, it will not replace what you have lost, but it is a start


I found $80 while I was cleaning out my truck.

That is awesome, what will you spend it on?

Gonna put it in the bank. saving up to buy a home.

Good for you, make sure you get the 20% down.


I went to the petstore with my dog and he had an accident in front of everyone. He had the saddest look on his face.

Oh no. Poor baby must've been embarrassed. Did he cheer up?

He did, the clerk walked over, told him it was ok and gave him a treat.

That was really sweet of them. Glad he got a treat to cheer him up.


I decided to clean out my attic and found a dead rat. It was so gross.

Yeah me to and the fact that it was dead was even worse. I hope I don't find any more!

I hope you don't either! If you do, you may need an exterminator, or a cat!


Had a interview yesterday. I think it went pretty well. I hope I get the job.

Thank you. I did actually. The recruiter sounded pretty positive on the phone.


I am sick and have a big meeting this week, not happy.

I'm sorry you don't feel well, is it a cold or something more serious?

I hope you feel better before this big meeting - or maybe you can reschedule it or something.


When I went to pick up my pod from my move, it wasn't even there.

That is terrible. Did you complain to the company and get a discount?

I sure did, but didn't help I had to pay the movers to drive another 30 miles away. even after confirming that morning with pods.

Yeah, moving can be so stressful and expensive sometimes.


I accidentally tripped while walking into a restaurant and there was a bunch of people around.

That sounds terrible, i would have cried!

Well I didn't cry, but my appetite was runied so I just went home.


I am so sad. My 3 dogs attacked my baby goat and she died last night from the injuries. Crying....

Aww, that's so sad. I'm an animal lover so I understand the pain.

It hurts really bad and I don't know what to do. I think I should give some dogs away to a family with no small animals.

That's a really tough decision either way. I wish you the best with it and hope everything improves


I was not happy when I didn't win the award.

Dang, that sucks. Did you get 2nd place?


I used to love playing the old pokemon games, I still bust them out every once in awhile for a throwback

That is true, I just am really into it, I like collecting and animals, so great fit


I've been married for 30 years. I love my husband but I kind of miss the fun of flirting and dating someone new.

Oh, maybe that's a sign to bring fun and adventure in your relationship?

Probably so! I am very loyal and I would never cheat on him! He's a good guy.

That's good, there is a lot of ways to make the relationship alive and interesting!


I was heartbroken when my grandmother passed away, I did not know what to do

that is sad i wish you and your family the best of wishes

Thank you, it still hurts me a lot some days

that is normal when you lose someone, but time heals everything


My grandmother is the sole reason I am where I am today.

Aww, my grandmother was really there for me, too, I'm lucky. What makes you feel that way?

She took care of me my whole life,  put me on the correct path

That is awesome, grandmas are the best. Hopefully your grandma is still with us?


I was in the grocery store and kids were knocking over all the food items.

They were just standing there watching, I wish people could control their kids better.

What a pain in the you know what. I wish the parents could be punished too. Haha


So my sister told us a couple weeks ago she was pregnant. Her and her husband are so excited. I hope they have an amazing 9 months and then an amazing time raising the baby.

That is exciting news!  I bet you were so surprised!

I was very surprised. She didn't tell a single person they were trying for a baby. Just announced it on the 4th of July

Ha!  What a neat day to announce it - did they do any special kind of announcement?  I see so many videos of interesting and neat ways to make that announcement.


Two fabolous weedings of my two fabulous friends


I broke one of my mom's crystal figurine, I tried hard not to tell her but in the end I felt so bad I had to tell her.

Aw, that's too bad. You did the right thing by telling her though.

Yes, she didn't even get mad. I still felt so guilty about it though.

Maybe you could save up and purchase her a new one.


I got a random box of diapers the other day, the size and brand that my son wears. It was just delivered to my house and had no return address or anything. I don't know who sent them but it was very nice of them!

Oh Wow! That is awesome! I wonder who did it.

I have no idea, I asked anyone I thought might have done it but everyone said it wasn't them.


Have you ever been to a real life haunted house? I think mine is.

No, I haven't been to a real haunted house before. I always go to fake ones around Halloween. Why do you think yours is haunted?

Every night the lights flicker and I hear strange noises. I live alone so it's not like someone else is doing it!

That does sound pretty creepy. Whenever I hear strange noises in my house at night, I get pretty spooked myself. Have you ever found anything?


I used to swim competitively when I was a kid. I started around 4th grade.

No not anymore. I wish I did but I have gotten kind of lazy since those days.

Well you can start slowly, I'm sure you will find your motivation again


Hello buddy! So you know when you've just ace'd all the final exams and you can just enjoy your time off with out worrying?

I know the feeling of finish finals, but not with all A's. Congrats buddy!

Yeah just so nice to just enjoy your time off without waiting for the grade to come.


I have received an e-mail response from a company inviting me for an interview. I am so thrilled for hearing back from them

It is only 10 miles driving. I hope I can just go and nail the whole interview, leaving the whole crew impressed with my skills

That is not bad at all, best of luck with that!


My daughter has never lied to me. I can always count on her honesty.

Sounds like a good firl. how old is she?

Girls can be tough at that age. You are lucky ;)


I was excited in a surprising way when my brother came to my graduation. I was not expecting him there


That's terrible! I suppose sometimes things backfire, no matter how good our intentions are.

They tried to make out I was bad at my job, that's the last time I'll give somebody a heads up at my own expense again.

Oh, no. That's awful! Did you report something that had occurred at your job?

I sure did, thankfully I've been there a lot longer so they know me well enough.

Yeah, that's good. It's hard to know whether to blow the whistle sometimes. It could always come back for you. I'm glad that it sounds like it worked out.

It did, but it could have ended very badly for me or even have resulted in me losing my job.

Yeah, navigating those sorts of things is treacherous, but as long as you know you're doing the right thing, that's all you can do.


When my wife and I had to move for her to go to school, we had a lot of trouble finding a place to live until my parents were nice enough to cosign on a loan.

We are.  They've helped a lot during my life, but this might have been the biggest one.

They are really wonderful. Do you have plans to show how thankful you are?


I just feel more emotional some days than others

Yeah I understand that. I hope you feel better!


We are suppose to be having a bad storm this weekend.

this summer's weather has been really intense here and honestly a little scary

Yes, makes you wonder if its global warming. I have been stocking up on food and supplies. Ready for the worst.


I used to be really open and honest about my feelings around other people.  Now I keep them to myself and feel a ton better

Lacking control of your emotions makes you weak

I suppose that is true to an extent, that makes sense


My husband once let this guy come to our house so he could use his tools to fix his truck.

Not to well, this guy ended up stealing from us

No way! I can not stand when people do shady things like that. We you able to get your stuff back? Did he get in trouble?

We did not get nothing back, my husband did not want to report it. He said obviously the guy needed it worse than he did! Which made me mad

Yeah I would have been mad too. If he needed something he should have at least asked. Stealing is never okay.


I'm a bit nervous- I have an upcoming certification exam to take for my teaching license and it's a big deal.

That's an amazing accomplishment!  I'm sure you'll do great!  Have you been studying a lot?

I've been studying a WHOLE lot - so I think I'll do okay, but it's still making me feel nervous.

I hope you can stay calm, you seem really well prepared!


My boyfriend told me he quit drinking, but I just found a bunch of empty liquor bottles he hid in his room.

Uh oh. Are you going to confront him about it?

Absolutely, but it probably won't go well. He needs help but he won't accept it.

Well I hope that he actually listens to you this time and gets help.


Today was the day I had been practicing for years for.

Must feel good to get it over with. How do you think you did?

That is great. You must have been very confident up there.


I used my friend's car without permission.

It is unacceptable for a friendship. I think you should not behave in such a way ever again

Trust me, I feel really bad for doing it.

You should. You must immediately let your friend know and apologize for your behavior


I constantly feel disappointed at myself

why do you feel that way? what is going on?

I just think I'm not good enough and constantly doubt myself and my abilities

never be that way! you are amazing and perfect and awesome!


My uncle passed away a couple of month ago and he left behind a 3 year old daughter. I was so sad for her. She does not realize yet what she lost

Oh no, that is heartbreaking.  How is she and her mother holding up?

It is really hard for them to grasp the whole thing, but I hope she will grow up to be a very good person

I can't even imagine.  I hope she has some great men in her life that can help to be that father figure for her.


i love seeing halloween commercials before october hits , it makes me feel like a kid again

Ohh, I love Halloween! It is my favorite time of the year. I can't wait!

me too , just seeing the m and ms , or cereal halloween commercials makes me smile

Hah, I used to eat Count Chocula cereal. I know exactly what you are talking about!


Wow, that is a wonderful keepsake from him. I bet you really cherish it.


I got a new dog recently, he is the best. I am so thankful for him!

Awwww. that is so sweet! Details. Boy, girl, breed.

He is a male australian shepherd. His name is charlie, he is super cute!

Awwwww. He sounds super cute! Have lots of fun with him.


i was sad to see my favorite tree had been broken in the storm last week

Aw man that sucks. It must have been a crazy storm.

it was pretty bad but i think the tree was already dying


I am shocked at how fast my hair is growing these days


Yeah, I've been wating to get out of the place i'm at now for... about a year now.

That's great. Some people aren't so lucky. They die at a job they hate

Yikes.  Not me baby.  I'm off to greener pastures


I don't know why I did but my friends aren't speaking to me and It feels very isolating.

they seem like not very nice people! im sorry


I am going to do scuba lessons in a couple weeks.  For some reason I am really nervous about it.

dont be nervous, your instructors will not put you in danger

I hope so!  Drowning is the worst way to die in my opinion!


I still feel bad about lying to my ex. I just wish it could have ended better

You must be feeling pretty guilty. That sucks.


That is wonderful. Is he now considering going to college?

He is wanting to go to college, but not sure where yet. He really struggled through this last year, but finally made it!

Good for him. Has he taken any SAT tests yet?


I am so ready for the camping trip this coming weekend. I made a list of what I need and I'm pretty sure I'm not forgetting anything.

The Great Smokey Mountains National Park, it's like 15 minutes from where I live. I am so prepared for it, it should be fun!

it must be nice to live in such a beautiful place


I was trying to get to a loaf of bread in the fridge, and I knocked over a full tub of my mother in law's chicken corn chowder!

That must have been messy.  Were you able to get it all cleaned up?

Yeah but now the kitchen smells like milky soup! My mother in law is going to be a little peeved too, oops.

I'm sure she's done something like that in the past herself though.


it made me mad to see someone put a dent in my door

Ugh I hate when people do that! Did they even leave a note?

Of course. Well karma will get them one day. At least it wasn't a full on accident where you could've gotten injured.


I have lived in the same area my whole life and worked the same job for 10 years.

Not at all. I am perfectly happy and in no need of change.


I got a new position at my job more money and also happy to be recognized for my hard work.

YAY, a promotion is always amazing.  when do you start?

I actually started today it was a lot of information to take in but it was such a joy.

Thats amazing, financial stability can be a life changer.


He never closes the mailbox. Sometimes my mail flies away

That is so annoying.  Have you reported him, or asked him to be sure to close the mailbox?


My wife and I were taking a break for a little while, but we found a spark recently

that is awesome. stay positive i hope things will work out.

Yea I was shocked when she came over the other day, but then things really started clicking.  I think things are really turning around

i'm so glad. marriage is tough but when you love each other it's work the effort.


I felt so let down by a person who promised me a project -- but then pulled it away at the last minute in a way that was very personal and reactionary.

That's terrible. People need to learn to commit to their promises.

Especially when it's based on emotion versus honoring a commitment. And when they know it has a very real economic impact.

I don't understand how so many people value emotion over logic and reason!


My friend was supposed to meet me at my apartment so we could eat at Starbucks.  But she ended up wanting a full body back rub.  It was a nice change of plans.

Oh, that's...interesting. That does sound like a nice change of plans, not only because Starbucks not seem that fun anyway. Hopefully she returned the favor?

Well, hopefully she doesn't keep you waiting for very long, if everything else is right! But maybe be more patient than even you think you need to be in order to play it safe, so she doesn't get scared off, so to speak. Sounds like it will be worth it in the end.


i had a roomate and they moved out....the house is so empty and quiet now

That can be pretty lonely I bet. Are you going to have another roommate then?

I see. Maybe having some private time will be a benefit if you look on the brighter side of it.


My dog died in my neighbors electrical fence last night. I am devastated!! I don't know what to do.

Oh no, poor dog :( I'd be devastated too, i love dogs so much.

My heart is broken and I can't stop crying. I feel so helpless that I could not save her.

Don't beat yourself up over it, it was a very tragic accident but who could've known. He's in a better place now.


One of the things I had to do when I started my job was be in charge of moving a department.  When we were doing it, one of my coworkers bailed on me.

Did it leave you to do it alone, or were there others ?

There were others, but we needed all the help we could get.


Well Happy Birthday!  Did you have a nice time?

I went on a trip with some friends but whrn I came back home I didnt feel too hor

Oh no!  I hope you feel better now and that you had a good time while you were on the trip at least.


I was at the baseball game sitting in the outfield. I heard a loud crack from the batter.

Did the batter hit one of the home runs?

How did you know? I actually followed the ball all the way with my eyes and caught it bare-handed. I was on TV too!

Whoa! That is so cool! I guessed because you said the crack sound happened.


Last month, a buddy of mine bought a scratch off ticket and won $4500. I never win anything when I buy them.

Wow!! That's crazy. I'm like that though. I never win anything either

I mean I am happy for him and all, but I wouldn't mind some found money either.

haha right! Maybe you should buy a few and see what happens. You cant win if you don't play


My father in law was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer when our daughter was 9 months old.  She was his first granddaughter.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that! I know how hard that can be for the family as well. Is he able to get treatments?

He had surgery but it was too advanced.  He was sick for 9 months and passed away when our daughter was 18 months old.  She's 18 now so he's been gone for a little over 16 years now.

Well, I can't relate to some extent. My father passed away 2 years unexpectedly. It wasn't from cancer, and we actually never thought he was going to pass away that day when he went to the hospital. But, it's very hard to lose loved ones!


Hi! is it okay to be angry at a friend when he throws you to jail for absolutely nothing?

He lied about me assaulting him and it was just an argument really.

That's bad. Did any charges get pressed?


I walked up on a snake in my yard a few days ago.


I was in total shock the night my fiance proposed to me at a concert.

That sounds like a great place to propose! How did it go?

They started playing one of our special songs and the next think I knew he was down on one knee. I said yes, of course!

That's so heartwarming! I hope your relationship works out very well!


Well not a huge jackpot but $150,000's pretty damned nice to have.


My niece won a medal in a race at the track and field competition!!

Congratulations, she must be a quick one, I was always the slow one at the back of the pack.

Yes! She not only was the fastest at the race she set anew record for her school!!

Wow, that's impressive, she might get a scholarship one day!


I got a divorce a few years back. It was pretty rough

Doing much better. It took about a year to finally get it official but life goes on you know?

yea thats good though that you are moving forward


I just recently applied for my dream college

That is so awesome, have you been accepted yet/

I hope you do too! Applying is a huge step in the right direction!


My step father passed away last year and my mother moved in with my sister.  She didn't raise me, so it works out that she's living with my sister.

Do she at least try to keep in contact with you?

A little bit bu, they took the insurance money and bought a big house - i mean BIG! I know they needed more room for my mother to move in, but what they bought was way over and above what was needed.

That's crazy. They shouldn't of taken advantage of your step father like that.


i was upset at myself for sleeping in so late this morning

I did the same thing today, so you are not alone in your behavior friend!


My wife bought us a super comfortable double recliner, and every since we got it, I never want to get out of it.

Oh nice! I need one of those! My couch is so uncomfortable. It would be hard to get out of a new recliner for me as well.

Yeah, untill we got the new recliner, I'd been sitting in a 20 year-old busted recliner and it was killing my back.

Ugh! It's cool that she got a double so you guys can sit next to eachother as well.


I had such a huge spider ran past me in the bathroom. I am so grossed out by all the bugs here!


I took a bus trip to Philadelphia today. The bus was totally gross. There was sticky stuff on the floors and there was a horrible smell too.

Oh that sounds horrible. I hope it wasn't a long ride on the bus.

It was about 4 hours lots of time to enjoy it.

Oh no, that is a long time to be sitting in trash basically.


I am a bit scared of moving to a new place, I do not like change very much

I don't blame you. It removes your sense of security and change can always bring out fear.

Exactly, and I have lived here my whole life too

One day you will be comfortable where your new home and not want to leave there either, it will only take some time.


Hm, thats not good. How so, if I may ask?

I am sick a lot in my health and I can't seem to figure out what sets off my fibro a lot, it gives me anxiety and depression and I am just so overwhelmed with it I don't know what to do anymore!

Sounds like quite a problem! I think you should try different foods and narrow down which ones trouble you.


I really hate when I do work at work and I see non of my coworkers working.

Oh yes, I bet the bosses love them too right? That happens a lot. Very unfair

Yes the bosses love them. They get all the praise.

Oh geez- work on your side hustle and get out of there. I did a long time ago. Hate those jobs!


I'm back in my old college town for the first time since graduating. It's weird how many memories flood back from just physically being in a space. I'm seeing all the places I used to eat, my old apartment, my campus, and my friends here and there... makes me wish I could go back

Definitely. And also seeing the people. Some grow up, some don't. Some want to be the same kind of person that they were in college, and drag you down with them when you see them again. Have to make sure I avoid those.

Oh yeah, bad influences.  When I look at my student loan payments, I don't miss college.


I found myself suddenly by myself and it seemed as if all the people I had become friends with were no longer wanting to still be friends.  I mostly met all of them through him when we got together, and when he left me he told them not to speak to me anymore and they listened.

That's sad. But I'm sure they stil want to be firends with you too

I dont think they do.  He was an abusive guy and he didnt want me to have them as friends and he would make up lies about me .  I dont think it was so much the lies he made up because they knew they were not true.  I think they were just loyal to him.

Posibly. Sounds like you are better off without him though


I am so happy that I found all these old pictures


I've been pet sitting for my mom the last couple weeks, and my wife decided to come spend the weekend with me last week. It was really nice just to have her with me.

That sounds relaxing!  Quality alone time is important in a relationship

It is, and it has been nice for both of us to have some time to relax on our own, but it was really great to spend time with her after being seperate for so long.

I can imagine!  It's hard being apart, but it makes it that much more exciting to see each other again.


I read the instructions to set up my fit bit 100 times.

I need it to work perfectly I need to get ready for a marathon and I need it to track my progress.


I had a cavity filled the other day but now I'm in terrible pain. My dentist said it's possible I need a root canal now and I'm frustrated, that's a lot of money!

I'm not sure yet. I'm praying that the pain will magically go away.


I can not believe that Donald Trump became President. It just goes to show you that anyone can become President in the United States.

I absolutely agree. I really hope he doesn't win in 2020.

We shall see. I truly believe that he has done some much damage to our country in so many different ways.

He's like an angry child trying to make everything about himself!


1968 chevrolet C10, it reminds me of my younger days.


I have been practicing for the interview tomorrow that all this week.

It sounds like a big opportunity for you.  Are you ready for it?

I am! I am pretty darn hopeful that I am going to crush this interview.


I stole money from my daughter's piggy bank and now she's wondering where her money went

I bought a few beers. I feel terribly guilty about it now.


My ex girlfriend messaged me yesterday out the blue, i still do love her im just afraid of trying this all over again

I would try again, if you love her you might regret not giving it another try if she moves on.

You are right , im just gonna take baby steps and not rush anything and make this work again

Sounds like a good idea to go slow and make sure things don't get too heavy too fast.


One time when I was drinking coffee, all the memories of my childhood kept coming back

Did you drink a lot of coffee when you were a child?

No, but I like losing myself in my thoughts when drinking coffee!

I see, that is such a nice way to remember your past,.


I just watched JFK's speech, 'we will go to the moon' - reminds me of what I admire in the US

It's really moving, wonder what the next big goal will be for humanity

JFK's speeches were amazing.  We have had a lot of great leaders in our country.  Our country has truly been blessed.


your friend is probably one of the luckiest people on earth. how do you feel about it/

I'm green with envy! why does he get to win and I don't!!!

well, you know everything happens for a reason.


I bought a new tv. The colors are so vibrant and it is so sharp!

I am, I have been watching all my favorite movies.

I think I will need to do that, my TV is an oldy.  I am sure you will have a great time.


I really do not like doctors.  I hate going, I am freaked out by surgery, etc..

Oh really? What makes you not like them?

I don't know exactly, I just don't.  When they decided we needed to do a c-section with my first child, I think I about lost it.  They had to give me something to calm me down.

Ugh I feel ya. They talked about that with mine, too. I almost passed out when they were doing the epidural!


My son is turning two in a few months and I can't help but think about when he was born.

Any big plans? My son just turned 4. I've been nostalgic also.

Just a small birthday party with family and friends.

That sounds fun! have you been looking at the old baby pictures?


Got into a small car accident the other day. Everybody was fine, both drivers and passengers. It was totally my fault though.. and now I'm worried about the insurance rates afterwards. I'm a college student, and can't afford much more

That's unfortunate :(  Would it be feasible for you to just sell your car and work with public transportation for a while until you can afford it?

Not exactly. My major in college requires an internship, and it's kind of far away.. it'd be hard to yo-yo around on public transportation and make sure I can be there on time. Maybe I'll just start selling my body on the street!

Lol, that might be a bit extreme.  Maybe selling parts of your body, like plasma?


Someone knocked on my door the other day. I peaked around the corner so they could not see me.

Oh boy, was it someone you didn't want to talk to?

I don't know anyone and was alone so I wasn't sure if I should answer the door. Things are getting pretty scary in the world.

You can never be too careful! I've heard too many things in the news. Who did it end up being?


I'm supposed to cook dinner tonight but I have no idea what to cook.

Hmm I suppose I could do that. Can never really go wrong with pizza.

Yes, pizza with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar dipping.


We were supposed to go on a mini-vacation for labor day but we had to cancel it.

Oh no! Why did you cancel? That's the best time to go!

I thought so also, but his mother is sick and in the hospital so we need to stay close by.

That's a really good reason to do so. Wouldn't want his mom getting any sicker with no one around.


My brother built a fence all by himself. Saved himself some money from having to hire people

I would love to do that. Did it cost him much?

Yea. The parts cost him a lot though. Each would panel was at least $5.

Well he sure did save a lot in labor costs.


Yeah, he was all butthurt because I wouldn't let him eat an extra tomato. Serves him right, but I do marginally miss him.

It's just an extra tomato, man. You're going to let that ruin your relationship with your turtle?


I was sitting in traffic today due to a wreck and I saw the stupidest thing ever.

This guy, who I guess thought he was more important than anyone else, flew up the emergency lane and blocked the ambulance.

Wow that's very annoying, he should be arrested.


Well that's great! I'm guessing he has a bad habit of doing that?

He does! But he didn't today. I was so happy and proud.

I guess you've been training him and it's paying off? Tell him he's a good boy and give him a belly rub!


The level of attention to details in the new BMW sedans blows me away

Nice. I suppose you get what you pay for.


That is great, do you get to see them much?

All the time. I treat them the same as my own kids. They are the best

That is really good that you get to see them all the time.  Do you have kids, too?


So, a week ago I was hiking alone in the mountains and I ended up spraining my ankle.

Well, luckily I packed a first aid kit just for situations like this, so I was able to make it back and get it checked out. No service out there lol

That's great. I wonder how many hikers actually keep a first aid kit?


I hate it when I get ignored. It makes me feel less human and I get very mad!

Yeah, that bothers me to.  Don't sweat it too much though.  Just consider it their loss and move on.

I try to tell myself there are other people out there that care about what I have to say

There are.  The people who ignore you are not worth your time or effort.


The other night I was walking alone and a guy kept following me.

I hope you had something to protect you? Like  a whistle or pepper spray?

I did not that night. You just can't let men or anyone get close to you at night...It's too much of a risk. I turned to go in another direction and he still followed. I ended up getting OFF the walkway and walking quickly so I could lose him. I have a small pepper spray now but I had forgotten it.

Thank goodness the outcome was good. Everyone needs something on them to deter someone that might be wanting to harm you.


I'm very socially awkward and tomorrow i'm going to have a playdate with some local moms and i'm so anxious

I'm right there with you.. I still feel pretty introverted, but since coming to college, I've been forced to socialize more, and it's help me at least "fake it until I make it." I still prefer to be alone a lot of the time, but at least I can somewhat manage without making myself look dumb. Maybe you can just think of some topics/things to talk about to have in the back of your head for the times when things get quiet?

that's a great idea! thank you for a great advice.

I hope it goes well! If it makes you feel any better, most of them are probably just as nervous and are looking for any excuse to relax and let their guard down, too. Good luck


Today I am going to meet some old friends from school.

It is been ages since we see each other.  I hope I.m not that changed.


I've been married to the same person for over 34 years

Wow. That's a long time. Longer than I've been alive! Congrats on your successful marriage. Got any tips?

Yeah, be fully committed, communicate about everything & let petty things roll right off.

Thanks for the advice. I have trouble letting the petty things go but I think I'll learn to be better as time goes by. I wish you a happy marriage!


I agree with you there. Let's just finish this one.

Well I hope things work out for you anyway lol

I hope they do for you as well. Thank you!


My grandma sent me a birthday card in the mail! She is such a sweet lady.

I wish I had a grandma.. did she send you anything extra?

I can understand that. She is the only grandparent that I have left. She only sent a card, but she is living on a fixed income.

That is still really sweet.  I never knew any of mine.  Treasure her while you can!


I hoped today that I would get a charge reversed from a company that charged me early for a free trial

did it work out or still waiting to hear back?

Thankfully after some pushing and pulling, they refunded me! They didn't want to at first though, arg!

that good .. you should use (privacy dot com) for trials that require cc info in the future! it helps


Once my dog got really sick. It was scary but I decided to completely trust my vet and he's still healthy today.

I am glad! You must have a very good veterinarian

Definitely. I moved and it's been hard to find a replacement.

Well I'm glad that you found someone worthy!


Yesterday I left the office only to find that my car had a flat tire in the parking lot.

Oh no! You must have been pretty frustrated.

I was! Thankfully a coworker helped me change the tire. I don't know what I would've done without him!

That's great that you had someone to help you.


I got a new puppy for my birthday! She is a cutie!

I named her Dixie! She is a little basset hound.

How sweet! Does she know any good tricks?


I cannot wait for the new super smash bros, it is gonna be amazing


I know I'm not a perfect parent but some just aren't good at it or don't care.

There are some bad parents out there, that's for sure. Is it hard to be a parent?

It is when it comes to all the unexpected stuff. Went to the mall today and lady was letting her toddler run all over the mall smelling like a dirty litter box. It smelled horrible.

Lol, that is terrible. She should have changed his diaper before leaving the house what the heck...


I keep seeing a little black and white kitty running around who is hungry.

No, I help animals myself. They don't catch cats or take them here...And I wouldn't want them to anyway as they put them down. He won't let me catch him yet but I am trying!


Seeing people do good things for each other always brightens my day

Yeah, someone paid for this guy's groceries in the store without asking!

That's pretty cool.  What a nice person.


Wow, that is coming up soon.  I be you are excited.  Is this your first child?

My friends threw me a baby shower yesterday. I had no idea they were planning it.

That was thoughtful of them.  It is always nice to have a fun surprise!


Why would you ever move away from the Caribbean.

I wanted to further my education and the hurricane messed the place up.

Where did you move to after the hurricane?


Every payday im so happy, then i pay all my bills and left with but a few bucks , and i think .... welcome to the real world


My hard drive crashed yesterday that had many important files on it

I'm sorry to hear that. Did you have the files backed up at all?

Yes, actually! I decided to implement daily backups a few days prior so I really lucked out

Wow, that's so lucky! I should do that as well just in case!


I am all packed and ready to go see my family!

Are you making a trip to see your family?

Yes! We are driving up to see them on Monday.

Great. It is always good to see your family. Is it very far?


I'm going skydiving this weekend. I'm afraid of heights and freaking out a little.

Oh my! That sounds exciting for sure! I couldn't do it, I don't think.

Yea, until this morning when I called and put down a deposit I did not think I could either.

Have you ever done anything else so frightening?

Yes, I love doing something crazy and the feeling I get from it.

I would say that you're an adventurous person. Me, I'm more laid back and mellow. Kudos to you and have fun!


I knew my friend would pick me up from work. He was a trustworthy person

That is great to have someone that you can trust.


I am thankful that I am diligently following my saving habit. I feel in control over my urges for unnecessary spending

That's awesome. I saved up for 4 months but then had a massive car repair bill..

Emergency can always happen. Good that you had saved for that 4 months and were able to cover your car repair bills. Imagine if you haven't saved

I know. My advice is take it seriously just in case


was it your first time making it or are you a pro

I'm not a pro. But I've made a few before at home

oh is that something thats easy to make?


I had to get rid of my animals when I meant my wife due to her allergies. It was really difficult.

That's unfortunate. How many animals did you have?

I had 2... I had them for years. It really sucked but we tried for almost 2 years, and her allergies were insanely bad to the point of hospital visits.


I get sentimental about my family, they mean a lot to me and I do not know what I would do without them

Appreciate them while they are with you and try not to worry.

I know, it is sad to think one will eventually be wihtout the other...

It's unfortunately. If only we can all go together and not leave anyone behind.


im envious of my friends who are at the park right now while im stuck inside

Oh I can understand that! I would also like to be outside; it looks like such a beautiful day! At least it is almost the weekend!

thats true, i'll be outside in an hour or less!

That's great! Are you going to join your friends at the park?


I love youtube. been listening to all my classic tracks. Tupac forever

I started out with one hit wonders but ended up at Pac. I miss my youth lol

Me too. I always end up on the 90s hip hop station on Pandora.


Even when it has been a rough year, I am now feeling that things are beginning to go my way and I can expect good thing for the future.

Awesome! Anything exciting on the horizon to treat yourself?

What's the one you are most excited about?
