I keep seeing a poor little black kitty running around outside every night.

Oh no, he's probably lost. Maybe you should take him in and feed him.

He won't come near me and my house can't hold another cat. I will feed him though. I have big dogs, so not sure if he'd come near my house :( I will try though!

At least you're concerned and interested in helping. Some people would ignore the poor little kitty and just let him die. Very kind of you!

Oh, I would never! I am just so beyond full with the same type! lol- And cats don't like to be packed in. I have seperate areas for my nice cats and mean cats and it's still a touchy balance! If I had a bigger house, I would help even more. They are so innocent! Our local AC doesn't do cats and I wouldn't want him pts anyway but I will always feed animals in need

If I had a huge yard, I'd probably have an entire farm house from all the stray animals I see and feel bad for! I can't help myself.


My wife's grandmother passed on a couple weeks ago. It's still eating at me to think about it.

Were you close to your wife's grandmother?

I had become close to her as of late. She was a very strong and respected woman.

That is very heartbreaking. Im sure she had a very positive opinion of you as well.

I think she did. We got along very well and she was always happy to see me.

Im sure your wife also appreciates you getting along with her family.


I recently spoke with my ex-girlfriend on the phone. The conversation went pretty well, and it reminded me of my past experiences with her.

Did things end amicably? I hope everything is good now!

Yes, they ended somewhat well, but there were tense moments. I am glad she's doing well, but I miss her.

I understand that, I hope things work out well for you both in the end!


i hate when i do dishes and touch food that was on the plate1! so gross. makes me wanna throw up

Really? It doesn't bother me at all. I wonder why you feel that way?

because the food is all soggy and mushy. i don't know, such a yucky feeling

Well, most people have intense likes and dislikes. Personally, I can't stand cigar smoke, but some people love it! I guess in your case, you need to scrape the food off the plate first.


My dog won't have his vitamins for his allergies now for another week because of this foobar situation.

Yes it is pretty sad that I can't get what I paid for. I even contacted the seller but they never responded.

Is there another company that may be able to help you?


A friend just published her own book. I don't know how she does it!

That's awesome! What is the name of the book?

I honestly can't remember right now (don't tell her I said that), but I know she worked on it for a long time.

That's great. I produce audio and I have an album coming out by the end of the summer! Tell her to keep it up!


My sister came to stay with me when I was recovering from surgery.

She stayed with me for an entire week, taking vacation time from her office.  I am one lucky girl.


i took my pharmacy certification exam today. i felt really good and prepared for it

You should celebrate when you hear back!


My Grandma just passed away. Its been a brutally tough time.

oh my god i'm so sorry. i've only got one grandparent left and it's tough to even imagine not having her

Thank you.  I know, she was the one I was the closest too.  She died soon after my Grandpa died so its been awful.  It feels surreal. Treasure them while they're here.

i do. i'm so sorry you are having such a hard time. may you find peace in her memories.


My main home computer stopped working yesterday?

Oh no, that sounds super annoying! What was wrong with it?

This one was. I didn't buy a cheap parts when I built that computer :(


I'm waiting to hear back from the nursing program I applied to for my degree

That's exciting and nerve wracking at the same time I bet. How do you feel about it?

I think I will get in since my board exam score is good, and my GPA is high. I don't want to be too confident though! I heard the program is competitive.

For sure. Well good luck! Nurses are very under-appreciated. I hope you get.


I'm going sky diving and kind of terrified.


I spent two hours studying material for an interview.

Definitely. I aced it, and now I'm officially in a trial period!


I am going on a week long vacation next month.  I am really excited and cannot wait!

I wish i could afford a vacation like that.

I got a really good deal.  And I am splitting the cost with someone.  It is going to be a blast


A week ago, i bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy S9 for myself. Phone is incredible and all my expectations about it was met

Awesome! So you'd recommend it if I were looking for a new phone?

Indeed. For $700, this phone is above expectations. Latest iPhone versions are becoming so overrated with inflated prices

I've never been a phone of Apple anyway. I had the first iPhone and wasn't impressed so I never tried again.


I recently purchased a new car, and within the week got rear-ended in traffic

Sorry to hear that! It must be infuriating to have that happen

It was. The dealership didn't believe it when I called them to ask for repair.

Neither would I. Hopefully, the other person is paying up for the damage at least


We decided to try and buy a new kind of sausage from the store. It's SUPER cheap

It was! I was super nervous about it though cause of how cheap it was


I finally got a time with my buddy to go camping in a couple weeks!

Yes! me and my buddy go camping every year when it cools off.

Yeah that's what we were waiting on, I'm pumped.

Yeah its been WAY to hot here lately to do anything.


My brother has the coolest girlfriend. I wish she was mine.


I worked for weeks on a presentation for work. I practiced over and over. I felt relaxed the morning of.

That's good! That probably means you worked on it until it became something you're proud of.

You are right! I was really proud of it! I'm glad I worked so hard on it. It lessened the anxiety that I usually have!

Maybe I could learn from that. I get really nervous when I have to do any public speaking, so maybe if I just prepared for it better it would help.


Through our family's tragedy, we learned that there is a larger connection between people.  Our church family was huge is supporting us.

I have always had a great church family. My aunt's church was pivotal in showing me how to be the best I could be and developing my character.

That is great.  I don't think that I would have done very well without our church family.  We felt loved the entire battle.

As a military family, we move a lot and finding a good church has been one of my first missions when we get to a new place. It is sad having to leave good churches, but I am blessed to have support from across the country now.


Do you feel content with your life right now?

Somewhat, ive felt better these past couple months than i usually have

Yes definitely, makes me feel like im doing soemthing good and helps me get better looking and healthier


There was this one time that me and my mom went to targets black friday sale, and waited outside for like 7 hours in order to get 3 huge flat screen TVs, just to realize that they wont all fit in the car. The people in the car next to us also had a bunch of things including a TV and offered to follow and drop it off. At first I was worried but they came and dropped it off, they were just nice people.

They sound like some great, trustworthy samaritans. I am glad people like that restore my faith in humanity.

Yes! It was several years ago and when I look back on it I'm just like, why did you do that mom? Lol. I couldn't see myself doing it as an adult

Yep, I just feel it was a simpler time back then. Nowadays many of us just live in fear of one another.


As a mom I sometimes sneak a sweet treat when I make it out alone.

Still feel bad when I got an ice cream the other day


So my dog just turned 15, it's getting a bit harder for him to walk, it's tough to see.

Yeah, fortunately he's very small so he doesn't have as many joint problems as the bigger dogs I thnik at least.


Hi, have you ever eaten a sandwich with hard bread?

I like a good hard bread like Pumpernickel. Do you know what that word means?

It means the devil's fart, haha! Good bread though.


I'm going to have a baby soon, our third child! I am ecstatic! I think we're done after 3 though. ha ha.

Wow the trifecta! Congratulations on that!

Thank you!  Yes!  It was easier when we had one parent to one child but now its anyone's game with a third in the mix. ha ha.

Right, I think you are in for a rowdy time for sure!


I hate telemarketers. They call me all the time and I can't stand it!

Oh I know, they are so annoying. You should try the Do Not Call list.

I do but they still call me. Frustrating!

Well if they violate it they will have to pay you some money. May be good to contact a lawyer!


i couldnt believe how good my nephew is at little league

They are still cute at this age and they make a lot of progress.


"I just found out that I'm pregnant. Its exciting but also scary because I lost my last baby at 18 weeks along. I'm just really trying to have faith that it'll turn out well."

Congratulations!  I'm sure everything is going to turn out well.  You probably have to see your doctor more than usual to make sure everything is okay.

Yes, they told me that I would see a specialist along with my regular OBGYN and they seem to be staying on top of things.  I am now also eating a plant based diet and feeling much better than my other pregnancy.


I watched a scary movie the other day while I was at home alone.

Yes it made me very uncomfortable. They are usually too much for me.

That's a shame, but sometimes it is good to face our fears.


Got to the hotel where I booked my room, and it turns out they gave my room to someone else!

What?! You should ask them for a free upgrade, because that's not cool.

They pretty much acted like I'm out of luck.

That's awful. Try asking for the manager next time.


My dog got really sick and was coughing up blood last week. I didn't know what to do. I had a panic attack.

Oh no, that's terrible!  Are both you and your dog alright now?

Yes, I took him to the vet and got him the help he needed. The possibility of losing my best friend had me frightened!

Yes, that would have frightened me too.  I'm glad he's alright now.


my wife got a flat tire on her way home from work and a man was kind enough to stop and help her change the tire.

That was really nice of him. I know that she had to be relieved.

As was I. I was about 50 miles away at the time and she was on the side of the highway.


I bet that is really enjoyable. Are you going anywhere fun?

Yup, tomorrow I pack up for a cruise. It's going to be very relaxing!

Have fun! That sounds like a great time.


My husband and I recently got a new puppy! We haven't had a puppy in such a long time.

oh that's awesome what kind of puppy did you get?

We got an 8 week old Cane Corso. We have 2 other dogs, but they are getting older, so we thought now would be the perfect time for a new puppy.

that's too cool I would love to get a puppy some day


Got a box of ramen. Should last me through the week.

I love ramen! not the healthiest food in the world but tastes good and hits the spot

Oh yea. I don't think I know one person who doesn't like ramen!

my mom doesn't lol but she is crazy about healthy vegetarian food ,so :)


I was very sick when our first daughter was born. I developed HELLP syndrome with her and was in the hospital for 7 days.

Oh, that's terrible!! What is HELLP syndrome?

It's basically when eclampsia progresses to the point that your blood doesn't clot and your organs start shutting down.  I had to stay 7 days past her birth to get my blood to start clotting again.  My sister came down and stayed for 2 weeks to help us out.

Thank goodness she was able to come, but that must have been so scary! I hope you're okay now!


I have a Dr appointment tomorrow to make sure my cancer is still in remission.

I think I will. It's been 7 years since my last treatment. I still get nervous when I have my checkups though.

I understand. I guess you'll always feel that way.


My electric bill was 350 dollars this month.


I was at the store the other day and the lady ahead of me had no idea how to use self checkout, I wish she would have used the regular line instead of holding everyone up.

Oh I hate when that happens. we go to self checkout to avoid things like slow lines.

Exactly! I wasn't in a hurry or anything but it felt so inconsiderate.

Hopefully the person learned what they had to do so they don't hold the line up in the future.


Have you ever had that person or worked with that even when you just look at them you get mad?

HAHA yes all the time, and its even worse when they speak.

Yes! They work across the hall from me and everyday she tries to talk to me and I feel bad but I jsut shake my head at her.

Ugh, yes like cant you tell from my body language I dont want to talk.


I was shocked when I realized I had a $100 bill in an old pocket

Wow that would be a really awesome thing to discover! Did you use it for something fun?

Actually I used it to take the kids to a water park

That is fun for everyone. Especially if you've been having hot sunny weather.


After working at my job for over 2 decades, they're closing down.

That's too bad. Do you have a new job lined up?

I hope you find one soon. If you don't, you are more than welcome to come work in my sweatshop in Siberia.


Whenever I see a newborn baby I always think about how I wish their life will be happy and long.

That is really sweet, I saw someone tweet about a baby laughing on the beach for 15 minutes today. Happy babies are fun

Yes those laughing babies will always bring you a smile.

Yes babies are so cute but I like being able to send them home with their parents


My friend asked his girlfriend of 8 years to marry him, and she said no.

Wow, why stay with him for so long if she was going to say no?

Who even knows. I definitely feel bad for my buddy.


A fried asked me to make a song intro for an upcoming show

Yeah I've learned it over the years.  It's for an upcoming mma show.  He liked it and is going to use it!


I know! He said "money"! I was so proud.


Oh wow, that will help you out immensely.


A moment ago I was thinking about my entire Pokemon collection I had as a child

it's a rose plant. I'm waiting for the blossom of the first flower in that plant.


I am so ready to go on vacation. I leave next Friday for the beach.

Im heading to Florida. Im going with a bunch of friends for a week.

I love the heat, you're going to be melting up in Florida though.


I remember my mom taking be to my dorm to check in for college. I was excited and nervous at the same time.

I remember that too, it's interesting transitioning to a more independent lifestyle.

That's what I was excited about. Independence and starting something new.

That's great, I imagine that you still missed your family while getting involved and having new experiences.


My brother took SAT test lately and received 2000 as his final score. I was very surprised and was not expecting it from him at all

Oh nice.  Is he the type to tone himself down in social settings...but he's secretly a wiz kid

Generally, he is not that much an attentive person. And for him to receive such a high score is quite unusual

Well gotta watch out for him...it's the quiet unassuming ones that are usually full of surprises


My son has been playing tee ball just like when I used to play. Those were great times for me.

Those are the best times,I can't wait until my son plays.

How old is your son?  Yea, its been so fun to watch him gain confidence and help his team win and have fun.


She is learning after just a week, all the commands. She even understands when I am upset now and when she is doing something naughty.

Awwwww, that's so cool. I remember when my dog was going through all that over a year ago. They learn so fast.


It was cloudy outside earlier today but the weather is fickle so I can't count on there being rain.

Yea I like the rain too especially during the summer. I meant that my local weather often seems likely to rain without actually doing so.

That's annoying! The weather team has one job. Rain is so relaxing to be used for showering.


My job recognized me for my hard work I was thankful and surprised I just love my job.

Oh cool that's great! What were you doing that they recognised?

For over exceeding and helping all staff when in need, I am always just helpful but was happy to get noticed for my hard work.


Everytime I try to speak up in class I end up looking stupid.

I know what you mean, I don't even bother at this point.

I just try to stay quiet and learn as much as I can.

Exactly the same for me. Don't let it bother you too much.


My date sure ate a lot for a small girl.


I went to the first day of class knowing it was going to be easy.

that's good. did it actually turn out easy?

Yes I passed with flying colors.  But that feeling made it that much easier.

that's wonderful! Congrats! I didn't have a lot of easy classes when i was in college


I got all As in my first college semester, and it made me feel really good about myself

Wow. That is great.  Not everyone can say that.

No, but I do think they made it a little easy to get As in some classes, especially the general education courses. I got an A in biology and definitely don't remember much from it

Most struggle in their first year.  That is amazing that you did so well.

I appreciate it. I'm a little bit of an older student, so I didn't have much to worry about in the way of feeling overwhelmed

I am an older student too so I hope things go well for me in school.


I know you are over the moon. What did you have?

Enjoy every minute with him. Time goes fast when they are little.


I hate being alone, but my wife and kids have gone on vacation with her family this summer.

Oh no really, that really sucks to hear. Why were you not able to go?

It is sad that you can not go, but you are making a good sacrifice to make sure your family will be able to survive. Also you could use the alone time to do stuff you are not able to do with them around!


I found pictures of when I was young, going camping with my grandparents. Those we such perfect times.

I hear you! It's sad yet happy to think of how great it was years ago! I hope we get to keep our good memories when we leave this world

Yes, childhood seems like a dream.  My grandparents took me camping to so many spots and one time it even rained caterpillars from the trees! I do wish I could go back there and do some things again.

I know right <3. Such a great time when we weren't the adults as well! lol- Paying bills is no fun.


Hired 4 more people to join my crew at work last week. 2 all ready quit. I'm bummed.

Dang, that really stinks. Why did they quit so quickly?

The  work was to physically hard for them. But I still had big hopes for them.

Perhaps you should screen new employees better? Like give them a physical performance test?


My two daughters are off to a good start with school this year.

Nothing, it's completely normal. I'm just happy about it.

Normal is a great place to be!  There is something to be said for just being happy and content with what you have!


Ah that sucks. Did they have a good reason to do so?

Yes I would be too. I'd let my friend know that I don't appreciate being treated that way.


I saw a guy riding on the side of the road to the store in his scooter/wheelchair.

He was very old. I felt bad for him that he didn't have any family to help! he almost got hit a few times. I mean..maybe he is happy? But I just felt bad :(

Sometimes they enjoy being able to get around on their own even if it is dangerous.


Again I walked in on my brother with all my desk drawers open!

I dont know! he is always saying he is looking for somthing, never what.


My friend was supposed to be on her trip for months and months but she came home early! I missed her!

That must have been a wonderful feeling! It must have been hard not having your friend around for awhile.

It was really hard, she was off the grid too so it was hard to even chat on the phone.

She must have traveled very far. I am glad you two have reunited!


I got on a roller coaster yesterday and I ended up puking everywhere! I just wanted to disappear!

Lol, I bet you were disgusted with yourself

I definitely was! I felt so shame that I couldn't look anyone in the eyes for the rest of the day.

Aw, don't take it too serious though. Everyone pukes in public at least once in their life!


because sometimes there is no one else at home with me and i dont like being alone


Ever been to Niagara Falls? I just went and it blew my mind on the size of it!

I haven't been.  I would really love to go, and it's good to hear such a good review from someone.

Yeah, you definitely should go, very worth while.

What else is there to do there other than see the falls?


I decided to move to be with my boyfriend.

Oh? Big decision. I hope you feel good about it!

I did, but I had to leave all my family behind

Aw, but they'll always be there for you when you visit. You have to do what you want to in life, after all


I like the feature on snapchat that shows you videos you took a year or two ago.

Yeah, that feature is pretty nifty. Makes it so you don't have to keep hardcopy photo albums anymore!

Oh for sure.  Sometimes it gets me though when it shows me videos of my son when he was just a baby.  Really gives me the feels.

I feel you man. Seeing pictures of my baby son tears me right up.


My boss finally noticed my hard work and gave me a pay raise!

What a fantastic feeling. Where you expecting that?

No not at all! I'm excited because now I can plan a family vacation for this winter.

Well then. What a great surprise. It sounds like you deserved it.


I can't believe my landloard still hasnt fixed my stove

Ugh. That's the worst. Have you called him/her?

Yes. It has been a week. We couldnt male our homemade pizzas like we do every saturday.

That's so frustrating. Ask for a break on the rent next month!


Someone brought me flowers this morning. It was very nice but I don't have a vase or anything.

You can always use and old mason jar wrapped in some hemp fiber

Oh! That's smart. I'm not crafty, clearly lol

Oh you can be! Everyone can! It just takes the will to cut the fabric!


I've always been a loyal member of my family.

Thats great, family comes first over everything!

I totally agree. It's the only important thing sometimes.

Yep, they're always there for you no matter what


My wife just told me today that my vasectomy failed, if you know what I mean.

Oh boy!  Congratulations are in order then?!!  How many kids do you have then?

We aren't quite to the excited phase yet, but thank you.  I'm sure when the shock wears off we will be over the moon about it.  We have 2 and one (or more) on the way.

I totally get it.  If I found out that I was pregnant right now, I'd pass out and cry for a few minutes and then be happy.  ha ha.  I pray for your wife and her body! he he.


That's great! It is so important to be content in life.

I agree! I think it is so important to do what makes you happy!

What do you do for a living? Does that contribute to your happiness?


I recently had plans with my boyfriend, but one of my good friends is going through a really hard time, so I canceled with him to go hang out with her instead. I think she was really appreciative of it.

Oh, that was wonderful of you! Everyone needs a friend like you who understands that emotional support is very important!

Thanks, I appreciate that. I know she would do the same for me, so I'm happy to be there for her.

You are both lucky then! She will remember your kindness for a long time.


i loved taking care of my sisters pet the other day

Oh wow that's cool! I bet it was fun to hang out with.


I applied for a new job yesterday. It seems like a great fit for me! It pays so much better and is so much more stable than my current job. I think I have a great chance at getting it!

You must be quite hopeful to get this new job then! I hope you do as well.

Yes I really am. I would be very upset if it doesn't work out.

I agree, but stay positive. There is nothing you can do now.


We got a new puppy! We took him in from our father in law.

That's amazing! We just got a new puppy this last weekend also! What kind is yours?

Its a long hair chihuahua and a short hair chihuahua. He has the most adorable under bite!

Aw that is super cute! Dogs bring such happiness to a home.


My boyfriend and I went through Hurricane Irma last year. It was pretty scary.

i must have been terrifying, I am glad you both made it through it

Me too! We got all the supplies we needed and put up the shutters ahead of time and sat it out. I'm glad we didn't need to use any of the supplies.

its nice to have another to lean on when it happened


I love being lazy on weekends. It's nice to just relax and have nothing to worry about.

Yeah I hear you! Do you like to read or watch TV?

Both! I spend more time watching TV though. How about you?

I like to do both as well. TV if I'm feeling lazy, reading if I feel more ambitious.


Saw a guy drop his phone and kick it back into his hand


When my friend comes over he never keeps an eye on his kids and they ravage my home!

That is horrible! Have you ever said anything to him about it?

I don't know how to bring it up. I always hope he'd catch subtle hints like when I ask his kids to please not climb on my stuff!

Maybe you should mention that you just want a "guy's night" and he would get the hint?


I can't wait for this weekend....VACATION TIME, BABAY!

Heading to the beach.  I haven't been to the beach in years, and now we are headed out for 2 weeks.

Oh man, I'm jealous. Have fun and don't forget to wear sunscreen!


I have a really good life. A nice house, car and wife makes me feel like I have it all!

That's great, you probably worked very hard so you deserve it.

I really have. It all seems like a good reward for the life I've lived.

I'm definitely a bit jealous, guess I need to work harder.


One of my well knows patients that has horrible diabetes came in today for a follow up.

Is your patient improving an following good medical advice?

Yes. After 3 years of working with her she finally started to take her medication as prescribed as well as watch her carb and sugar intake. I checked her blood sugar today and to my suprise it was normal!

That would be a surprise.  A lot of people are not dedicated enough to change their condition, especially those with diabetes.


He has just learned how to ride his bike all on his own without the training wheels! He is growing up so fast.


I am so angry to see so much fake news floating around in the media

I hear ya. Both sides are infected with this issue.

Very true! Why does news have to be so hyped up?

Well, they are looking for more viewers. It is not news anymore, it is entertainment.


I worked so hard on a project to find out that they had 2 teams working on the same thing.

Wow, I hate when people feel like it's okay to waste other peoples time.

I'm glad you are. You deserve to work for a company that values you and your time.


I live in a duplex and my neighbors keep parking their cars too far apart for me to park my one car and its a driveway for 4 cars. They really don't know how to park.

I've already spoken directly to them about it because there should be room left for even another car in case someone comes over.  They did it for about 2 days and then went back to doing it badly again.  I have to talk to the landlord next.


I procrastinated and didn't do the dishes for a couple days now. I think fungus started to grow on some of the old food, so nasty!

I had to hold my nose shut while doing the dishes.

That sounds bad. It was probably harder to get off too


What is the subject?? The test will be oral or in writing.

It's is an English writing test I studied super hard for.

If you are prepared, then you will do fine.


Okay so I've never been a good cook but the first time I ever made a casserole was a diasaster. I went to pull it out of the oven and part of my oven mitt must have not been insolated well, so I dropped it and it shattered the door to my stove.

Oh don't worry, the casserole didn't spill, but nobody besides me wanted to eat it because they were sure there must be glass somewhere in it, ha.


I tripped in the supermarket this morning. I felt pretty bad after it

I know the feeling. Did a lot of people see?


i hate that my daughter is growing, she wanted me to drop off at the movies

I know, you just never know how she will handle a dangerous situation. I talk to mine all the time about things that could happen.


My sister and I got into this huge fight and she called me a fat cow.

To be funny or what? Because I think it's really rude and unforgiveable.

OH. I'm sorry. We do that to each other. I  didn't know she hurt your feelings.


A couple years ago, I was hospitalized and diagnosed with MS.

Oh that sucks, have you experienced the symptoms?

Yeah, I was blind in my right eye, and my left arm was numb.

Oh damn thats terrible, I hope it didn't affect your life too much.


Spending time watching TV and sipping wine together.


I've been having anxiety attacks lately. Everything is great and suddenly i start thinking about something bad happening and i have a full blown anxiety attack over something that didn't even happen

no, it just started happening. I would say it started a couple of months ago. i will see a doctor in 2 weeks


I been out of school for about 5 years I am finally going back to college.

Yes I am going for nursing I can't wit I am over joyed going to be hard work but I got this.

Oh hey, I'm a nursing graduate! It'll be difficult at first, but you'll get the hang of it.


I am scared that World War 3 may be near.

Nah.  Don't worry my friend!  It will be okay!

I am really worried that North Korea may attack us.

I don't think they will.  We are the worlds greatest army


i want to see all the ingredients neatly lined up on the table before i start cooking

Is that because you just like being organized?

Yes, i want to be prepared all this time, it is just the way i am

That is really a good way to be. I need to practice this more, myself!


I was just accused from my wife that I stole $10 from her Purse.

Oh wow, why would she think you stole the money?

Because she can not find it, she is the one that misplaced it, I am so furious right now, I would never do that

Would she have any reason not to trust you?  I would assume you have not done anything like this before.


I'm getting scared because both of my parents will not be with me too much longer. They've both got dementia.

Thats terrible to hear... :( When did you find that out?

About a year ago. They hardly know me anymore, and I'm an only child with no real connection to my extended family.

Ugh I dont even know how to respond to that other than to tell you to hang in there. Lots of positive and love your way.


so this past sunday i cooked my first meal for my family. it turned out really good.

Oh, that sounds so exciting! What did you make?


All my friends moved away to go to college this week.

I don't know, probably just sit here and miss them.


A year ago, a tornado approached our house.

I bet you were afraid. Was everything fine?


Hey, I am feeling so proud of my dog today.

that sounds great, what did your dog do?

He learned a new trick today, it took me days of training him before he caught on

it's satisfying when your pet does a trick, it feels like you and your pet accomplished something meaningful


My son has been cleaning up after himself without being asked, it's been such a joy to see him take initiative!

wow i wish i could get my kids to do that. congrats

It's been a long time coming, that's for sure.

well it seems like he is starting out to become a productive person in life


I'll be getting a promotion in the new year.

Congratulations! Does it come with a raise?

Woah, that's incredible! You deserved it :)


Unfortunately, I accidentally sent an email to a coworker essentially complaining about her attitude. I really wanted to dig myself in a hole and never come out.

Arghhhhhhhhh! I soooo feel for you and have been there. Have y'all had the chance to talk about it? (Or do you even want to?)

I've kind of avoided her a bit. I'm trying to come up with an apology that feels heartfelt. It's a horrible feeling!

I hear you. Maybe humor might help? Like "okay, so *this* is awkward....can we talk about that email?" Heartfelt apologies go a long way, and even if she doesn't respond -- you'll feel better for trying.


i have a presentation due this week, I am not looking forward to presenting it in front of others

It can be nerve wrecking. I'm sure you will do fine, though! Have confidence!

i feel like i know the material but i am not sure if i can pull it off in front of others

You know they say, imagine them in their underwear...I wonder that really works. I'm not fond of public speaking either.


I ordered a pizza and it took an hour to get here.


I'm so glad music is more freely accessible now. When I was younger, everything was at least $10 if i wanted to listen to an album.

yea, this is a much better time for content

Kinda wish I was born in this era, but then I think I would be really distracted.


so this one time in computer class i thought i had a silent fart but it was really loud and everyone heard it

That is rough. I am glad you made it through.


I had no roommate in freshman year of college which was boring

That does sound boring because you had no one to interact with, but at least you had some privacy.

yea but it got very lonesome after a bit

I see. It would be quite lonely without a roommate to share the experience with.


Hi, i have made no new friends in my new class

Oh I'm sorry. Have you tried to talk to people?

I have but they do not like me. I sit alone at lunch every day because of this.

You can try again to reach out to people. Otherwise, remember that it is only temporary... soon you will be in a different class with more opportunities to make friends.


I wanted to spend some time with a friend last weekend but everyone that I tried to get in touch with was busy. That was very upsetting for me.

They're not very good friends then. You should confront them about this.

Maybe I will. I figured they were just all truly busy.

Could be, hopefully the wont dismiss you like that in the future!


Ohh man, I am so sorry.  I have had that happen to me many times over the last five years.  Did you contact your landlord?

My dad helped me cover it, so that was great!

It is wonderful that you have family that can help.  Are you going to be OK going forward?


Man I tried something really GROSS the other day

I ate some fried EGGPLANT!!!!  It was so gross!!


My husband goes away for months at a time due to being in the Military.

Oh god..I don't know how you military wives do it. I just can't imagine

It's pretty difficult and very lonely but no matter how bad it gets I've never though about cheating.

I would be the same. I am a one person kind of gal. I don't do that even when I am single. The worry though must be hard!


A found a box of my old toys from when I was a kid.

It was cool, I got to see a bunch of stuff I haven't looked at in decadews.

That would be cool.  Are you going to keep them?


I was so afraid of sleeping when I was a kid.

How come? Were you scared you wouldn't wake up?

I was scared that there were monsters under there waiting to snatch me! Luckily none ever came....

Aww, that's sad to hear. I hope you didn't lose too much sleep!


I could not believe that Donald Trump won the election.

Does it make you feel like you're living in an alternate reality?


I worked so hard on my science project in school. I thought I was going to get first place. I didn't and was so upset.

What a bummer! What place did you end up getting?

I got second place, but I was so upset I didn't get first, it might as well have been last. I was young.

I know the feeling. You work so hard just to feel crushed.


My father and brother are in a serious conflict with each other right now, as my father has complained about the way my brother raises his son. Obviously it's a really stressful, tenuous situation and I have no idea who's side to take, and I'm worried it will lead to them not wanting to keep in touch anymore.

Family conflict is always hard.  Maybe you don't need to take a side and try to work for peace.

Yeah, you're right. It's kind of complicated, but I definitely shouldn't try to pick sides. I just want everyone to get along, but it's not that simple. It's like I can't figure out if I try to make peace, whether that will make things more complicated or not, and whether I should just stay out of it. Time will tell.

It is rarely easy to know the right thing to do in these sorts of situations.  This might be a situation that calls for some professional help.


I was just a kid but can't forget that day I left him alone in the rain. He should've just taken my hand!

It is unacceptable. I hope he did not get cold as a result of this

I don't know what happened to that kid to be honest.

That is pretty sad and heart-breaking to see kids in such situations


I got a new car and I was really shocked by how it handles. Best car ever!

Great to hear. I love the new car smell. Take good care of it.

Yeha I certainly will. It's like my child now.

Hope it lasts a long time for you. I am sure you will enjoy it.


i was crushed when i  didnt get the day off

Oh man! What did you want to do with it?

I love to fish. There'll be other chances though


Are you deep in debt with medical expenses?

Have you considered talking to a debt counselor?


My taxi came late and I missed my board meeting yesterday.

That is horrible! Did you get into trouble?

Yes, I was scolded by my boss. I am furious right now and have only have myself to blame.

I'm sorry that happened! At least you didn't get fired


I can't believe I didn't tell her about the vase.

I accidentally smashed it played beyblades.

Yeah they're fun, I didn't tell my mom after though.

She thought my cat did it, I said he did, I lied.

Well if the cat didn't tell the truth he didn't mind atking the fall.


My hubby lost his job a couple of months ago but he has an interview this friday so i pray he will get that job

Cool.  Hope he gets it, I hear they pay pretty well


I wish i was Chris Pratt but why do you wanna be "The Pitt"

This is very true, But would you want to be bugged by people all the time.


I was at my friends part last weekend, and someone threw up in the hot tub!

Yeah... the worst part was trying to clean up all the pieces.


My local store stopped carrying my favorite spring rolls.

were you able to find them somewhere else

I think this other place carries it, but they're pretty far.


That is great, did you study a lot for it?


My mother in law cannot mind her own business.

Yikes! You got one of the bad ones. They sure makes things hard.

She really does - she is always trying to bend my husbands' ear to her way of thinking we should do things - with our house, our kids, etc.. and she never listens when he tells her that's enough.

Maybe he needs to break away from her a bit. Maybe then she will mind her own business.


I'm anxious to meet my wife's ex-husband. Hopefully it will be civil and not awkward!

I can definitely understand how you would be worried about that.  I think I'd have to decline - LOL!  You are a good person for being willing to meet with him.

Yeah, there is a kid in the picture so we have to meet at some point! I wish I could decline, haha.

Well, yes if there is a child involved, then you've got to deal with him at some point.  I hope it goes well for you though.


So proud of my friend, he got a 95% on his test.

Heck yeah that's awesome!  Did you celebrate with him

Did you pick up at least 95% of the tab? lol


My son lied to me and it really hurt as a parent we just always want the truth.

Oh I'm really sorry to hear that. Was it a big lie?

Yeah it was and I dont appreciate it at all. I just cant believe he would lie about something to me.

That's a pretty serious issue. You should punish him somehow.


The worst phone call I ever got in my life was when I was told my dad only had a few weeks left to live.

Oh no. That's terrible. I lost my dad five years ago, I know how terrible that feels.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm going on just over two years. Never thought it would happen to us.

Neither did we. He seemed so healthy, and then within weeks he was so sick he couldn't even talk. I miss him every day,


I really like to learn and I'm so ready to go back to school. I can't wait for classes to start!

Physics. I'm in my senior year so I can really explore the complicated subjects now.

Wow, that subject was always tough for me in school. Good for you!


Once in a dream I was shot, died and everything faded to black

That must've been terrifying in your dream.

Yes! truly though I died,  I woke up very confused for a moment.

I hope you don't have many of those dreams again.


Once I woke up to what i thought was a ghost in my room

YES i was scared out of my mind, to this day I tell myself it was a dream.

So you actually saw it?? how did it look? did it say anything?


My son stole some money out of his mom's purse. I was so upset I almost forgot to explain how wrong that was.

I would be upset too. You need to sit down and talk to him about it

I agree, that's what I did and I will be monitoring to make sure my words sunk in, or to repeat them.

you're a good parent. Keep up a good work


I decided to stay with my current company even tho I was offered another job.

It's nice to be loyal to people who are loyal to you.  Is your job going to offer you any benefits for your loyalty?

It sure would be thoughtful if they did! I doubt it, but I still feel I made the right choice.


I studied all week for my math finals and only scraped a 68 on it.

That's a real bummer. Do you at least pass the class?

Yeah, passed with a 75, not what i wanted but at least i passed

Well at least you don't have to take it again. Could have been worse.


When i proposed to my girlfriend, she said yes! I was so happy

well that's great news congratulations, how long have you known each other?

We have known each other for 7 years, and been dating for 5 - felt like the right time

that's good that you put a lot of effort into it


At one point last semester, I realized I really needed a B in one my classes to get the GPA I wanted!

Yep! I knew that if I studied like I did that I could do well!


My sister has been dating this guy for about 7 years and I wish she would drop him.

Oh no, it really sucks seeing someone you care about date someone who isn't good

Yeah, he's a bum!  He mooches off of her, she works and he sits home and drinks.1

I bet if you say anything about it, you're the bad one too


My dog died lost week. I am inconsolable now

That is spo terrible, my dpg died when I was really young, and just have never really had a dog since,

I think i won't be able to able get over him. I feel like already lost my soul

Thats how I felt I cried for days, it still doesnt seem real.


I love chocolate cookies because my grams would always make them for me.

Oh yeah! I love chocolate anything! But grandmas cooking is always the best of all!

Nothing beats cookies made by grandma. Except for the oatmeal ones. Too healthy haha.


Sometime all it take is one rude person to ruin your day.

That is very true. Did something bad happen to you?

Nothing major, but I am still learning how to deal with such behavior and always open for an advice.

Generally just try to ignore it as best as you can. I'm good about just letting things roll off my back.


My friend is so lucky, he always seems to be winning lotteries and gambles of sorts.

Same here. Just last week, he won over $400 playing slot machines, and I really wish that could've been me.

Wow thats awesome! i never win anything like that


have you ever been there before? I hear it's great!

No i have never been but i hope i am able to one day.

Save up and sign up for deal alerts on expedia and other sites. It's really amazing how cheap you can get trips nowadays!


I have all my ingredients for my dinner party and now I am getting ready to prepare a feast!

You're much braver than me. I would never host a dinner party.. don't feel like I'm good at planning, and don't feel like I'm interesting enough to talk to a bunch of different people.

Yeah, we all have different personalities. But you would come to a dinner party if invited, right?

I think, maybe, yeah! It depends on who's there, and if I felt comfortable with the host. If I felt like I had enough people to kind of "rescue me" and who I could talk to at the party if I got anxious and couldn't talk to strangers, then that'd be alright. Other than that, I just kind of do like maybe a group of 4, max


My dog is getting older and is starting to walk a little slower these days.

Sorry to hear that. Are you taking him to the vet?

I haven't in a while, but I definitely should. I don't think there's much they can do though


I'm perfectly fine with being single at the moment. It gives me a lot of clarity and time to self-reflect.

Me too. I can focus on myself for a while

I've been trying way to hard to satisfy everyone. I think I'm content with being single, for now.


My entire family was able to make it to our reunion. I was so happy to see them

That must of been fun, where did you meet?

It was fun. We held it at a beautiful state park and everything was perfect.

That is amazing. I hope I can get the family together soon.


I saw my girlfriend getting real friendly with another guy at the bar last night

It definitely had me feeling a little uneasy about the whole situation.

OH man! Yeah I would of felt the same way!


That's awesome, go him! I bet you and your family are excited.

We are so proud of him. I didn't know what i would do if he passed.

I bet, cancer is the worst, and it's always amazing when someone over comes it!


I've always tried to be good to my family.

No, I just do this because I see so many others not treating their families right.


My dog Lola won first place in the dog show. That's my girl!

She's a Pekingese. When they handed me the trophy I just couldn't stop smiling. She's the best dog I could ask for.

I don't think I would have been able to stop smiling either! That is so awesome!


I had a friend who was getting married last month. Unfortunatley my job forced me to work on his wedding night. Now I don't know if he likes me anymore.

Oh that sucks but i think he should understand the situation.

I hope so. He was really annoyed with me at the time.


I'm looking forward the the Fall weather.

Yes, and the changing of the leaves is wonderful.

We spend more time outside in fall than summer. summer is way too hot


My sister just lost her baby at 18 weeks along. We are all grieving and I'm trying to support her in any way I can. Being a mother myself, I feel so depressed and sad for her.

I'm so sorry to hear that! My sister went through something similar last year and I can tell you that it will help a lot to spend time with her as often as you can.

It seems to be happening a lot because my best friend had a miscarriage too about a month ago.  I will definitely keep trying to be with her and bring her meals and clean.  I cannot shake the sadness either so I have to force myself to be positive around her.

Stay strong! Hopefully in the future she can have a healthy baby and be able to move on from this tragedy.


Going to my son's first pee-wee football game tomorrow!

That sounds like fun! My son does basketball. I bet he looks tough in his helmet and football gear.

He thinks he does.  All I can think of is a bunch of Tiny Titans in helmets running around like chicks in a barnyard.  *chuckle*


I really hope my daughter doesnt get bullied in school.. its so bad now..

It really is bad everywhere and the bullying policies don't help.

It really is scary being a parent and seeing how kids are to one another.

Yes it is. It makes me want to homeschool.


I got a wonderful surprise the other day.

My husband picked out a few different shirts and told me to pick one of them and be ready by noon. He took me on the most wonderful date.


I got caught in a huge rainstorm last week. It was a deludge.

Aww man, I hope you brought your raincoat.

Thankfully I had remembered to put an umbrella in my bag before I left the house.

That's good, you don't want to get soaked and catch a cold.


I just had to move across country to a new job.

Wow, that must've been hard to uproot your whole life. Are you happy about the move?

I am actually! I was so ready for it. I basically studied moving so that everything would be easy

That's awesome! I've been wanting to do the same actually. I hope you have a fabulous time in your new place and new job!


I am back to work tomorrow. I am happy to go back to work after a good vacation.

That's great! I don't know too many people who look forward to that. You must love your job

Yes, I love my job and my coworkers. I found it challenging.

Great! I wish I loved my job and work environment as much as you do


the braves are reallly good i hope they dont blow it

Do you live in Atlanta?  I haven't been to the new stadium yet and I really would like to - have you?

Well hello neighbor!  I'm going to have to get down there one day - I remember way back when they won the World Series I think in 1991 maybe?  It was so exciting!


I was at dinner last night with friends and I lost my wallet.

Oh shoot.. What did you do? did you find it back?

I think the waitress took it off the table.


I attended a ball recently, one of the girls had the most stunning dress.

A ball, how fancy! Was the girl as stunning as her dress?

No way, her dress looked like little diamonds had been stitched on every inch of her dress. Not many girls can compete with that. Diamonds are forever.

Yeah, I  can see a dress like that can easily outshine any girl. The dress sounds amazing though.


I am so mad!  I went outside and an armadillo was eating my plants.

NO! they can be vermin,  what did you do to get rid of him?

I yelled at it and told it to leave.  I live near a lake and all.. there is no getting rid of animals.


I have been studying for my final math exam all week long.

I hope you do well on it! Do you feel prepared?

I feel so prepared! I am confident that I am going to crush it and get an A on this thing!

That's great! Make sure to check your answers twice!


There's a new water park about to open near me.

That's awesome! Are you going to go see it?

Definitely. I've been traveling for over 45 minutes to the nearest one.

Wow that's a long way to go. It's really cool you have one opening up near you.


Being a mom is such a struggle sometimes. On the one hand I really enjoy the break I get when my son stays with his grandparents. On the other I always feel a bit off kilter when he's not home with me.

I totally understand what you mean. Peace and quiet is nice but I bet you miss your son when he is gone?

Absolutely! I can get so much done, but I really do prefer him to just be home with me. All seems right with the world when he's here.

That's not surprising! Are you thinking about going back to work soon?


so I found a old ring that was passed down to me from my grandmother the other day.

That must have been really exciting.  Did you think you had lost it?


My best friend is going to try and drive up to see me next month. Fingers crossed, he'll be able to make the trip.

that is cool, you must be really anticipating this visit

Yeah, it's been a couple of years since I've seen him in person.

i bet both of you will have a blast together, don't have too much fun ;)


I have a buddy who decided to take up playing guitar a few years ago.

That is nice. Did you start playing guitar with him?

I tried, lol.  I recently heard him play for the first time in over a year.  His skill levels astounds me.


My wife took a real plunge the other day, she quit her job and decided to start a practice of her own!

What kind of practice is it? That takes a lot of guts!

It's a counseling practice, but yeah she quit her job to do it so I thought it was really cool she had the balls to do it!

Not literally of course, lol. Good for her, I am sure she will do fine!


At work today, all my coworkers sang me happy birthday. It was so nice of them!

That's awesome! I love when people remember my birthday.

It was so thoughtful of them. I didn't even mention it was my birthday.


I could not wait for last weekend to get here. We were going to see some new breweries

I love visiting breweries! What's your favorite kind of beer?

Not my favorite but I had a really good one the other day with some kind of fruit in it, I could have downed a gallon of the stuff.


Oh that's okay! I am as well. Sometimes I trip for no reason whatsoever.

Me too, I fell in front of a large group the other day on nothing but air.

That happens to me often. I also trip walking up the stairs quite often. It can be quite embarrassing!


I moved to a rural area recently. At night I've been hearing all kinds of weird animal noises and I see large foot prints near my home in the morning. It's scary as all heck out here at night!

Oh yeah I could imagine. I've always lived in big cities. I couldn't imagine having to deal with true darkness and wild animals!

You hit the nail on the head with the total darkness! There isn't a street light in sight. I need to invest in my some good outdoor lights so I'm not so paranoid!

Yeah. I do remember camping out a few times back in school. I couldn't get used to the pitch blackness at all!


I am very happy that I have graduated today!

Wow, that's exciting! Congratulations, you must be very proud.

I am very proud. And I will celebrate by going to Disney Land!

I would love to go their! I hope you have a great time!


My husband and I are taking the kids to see my family on Monday. I have been doing laundry and packing so we are ready to go.

That sounds fun! Has it been a while since you seen your family?

I saw my sister about a month ago. We havent seen my parents since Christmas time.


I have always bought my kids clothes from the same store, Childrens Place.

They clothes are cute and afordable and they dont shrink. Plus they give me coupons.

That sounds great! I should look in too them more.


I was about to book a flight for my baby and i and i was so surprised to find out i didn't need to pay for my baby'sticket

That's really exciting! I would be so happy about that.

i know! now i can spend the rest of the money on something cool

That's what I would do too. Do you have something in mind?


I never can get myself to give away their baby items.

lol no I just can't part with items that mean a lot to me like my kids baby things like first shirts ect.

Everyone is nostalgic one way or another.You are fine


When I got my first paycheck with a bonus, I knew I didn't need to worry anymore about my expenses. It was quite the feeling!

That is such a relief, it is so nice to have money saved up in the bank.

Yes exactly! I was able to finally start saving for retirement. I'd been procrastinating somewhat, so it really was a relief, like you said.

Oh yeah, retirement will come before you know it, it is good to be prepared!


I used to be afraid of the dark. I had a nightlight until i was 13

In a sense I have, I am still not a big fan but I do not use a light anymore


I have a C average but still graduated with a degree.

That's ok.  Employers don't look at your grades I don't think.

Thanks. I'm not as smart as others, but I did work hard.

It sounds like you have determination, and that is worth more than a 4.0


Sorry to hear that. What did your friends say?

Nobody even remembered. I was sitting there all by myself.  I still had fun though, I guess.

Hopefully your friends make it up to you!


i  went and got another goldfish before they got home

Tried and true, what generation of goldfish is this one?

lol this is the third goldfish that has died. they dont last very long

atleast it is nt a hampster with specific markings


At the end of the year, a good friend of mine who I haven't seen in a while is coming down to visit.

That sounds exciting. How long has it been since you've seen eachother?

6 years. But we've kept in touch over social media ever since he moved.


I am super intrigued to try a few new supplements I have learned about.

Chlorella, Bitter Apricot and Wheatgrass. All should help me detox, get my gut in line and give me some much needed vitamins I can absorb.

That sounds pretty healthy.  Have you always been this health conscious


i have to give a presentation on Monday, I don't think I'm ready

is there anything that you can do to help prepare yourself?

i think i'm ready but it is the waiting  to give it , I just want it to be over

yeah i can understand that!! id want to get it over with too. the sooner the better


I am sure that I will be able to get a raise from my job.

Wow! I hope so. Are you going to ask them today?

No. I will ask them at the end of the week.


found out my son has been bullying other kids at school.

Yes it is. And I told him that. I am just so disappointed in him.


If I am being honest, I was bummed when my brother got a full ride to college.

Yea, My dad when he was alive was in the navy, so they paid for my brother school, but not mine as I had just moved out.

Do you feel overall that you worked harder than he had throughout school?

We are both fairly smart, I just had to work a fulltime job and go to school .SO harder situation.

I see. Do you have any resentment? Have you done anything to take matters into your own hands to get where you'd like to be?

Oh most definitely, I am in a good place now, and so Is he, once I got older I knew it was a petty feeling.

That's great. It seems like you've only gotten stronger and that's an important trait to develop in life. Be proud of what you can accomplish on your own and your independance!


Yes and also explain to them you noticed you were doing it. They'll understand


When my kids became adults, I gave away all their old toys. Or so I thought... Today I found one of my daughter's old dolls. It brought back so many memories I don't think I can get rid of it.

Well, I donated them to charity for kids who don't have much.

That is very kind of you, how old is your daughter now?


You'll never guess what I saw on the road today.

I saw a bear crossing the road a mile from my job.

That's neat! I've only seen ducks and chickens. A deer did bounce over my car once, though


My dad wants me to work this job that I am completely uninterested in.

Have you voiced your opinion to him yet?

Yes. He is very stubborn though and wants me to live the life he believes is best for me.

Parents always think they know best. Until their children prove them wrong they tend to think that.


I am very fearful of dying. I know it will come one day, I just hope and pray it doesn't hurt so bad.

You shouldn't think about death whilst you're alive! Just live each day to the fullest.

Yes you are right but it is hard to not think about it when there is so much death going on around the world and we have to hear about it through the media.

Yes but death comes to all of us someday. So I think its best we enjoy our life whilst we are blessed with it.


I feel happy for my brother that he is a good photographer.

That's great. Does he do photography as a job or a hobby?

Maybe he can turn it into a career and make a lot of money!


I had some of the best news finally after a series of bad events. I am feeling quite at peace.

I am glad to hear it. You must be quite content at this moment.

I am really, thats exactly how I am feeling.

Enjoy this moment, and try not to think about the bad that has happened.


I was so scared during the new shark movie. I had to look away several times!

I hate shark movies too. That's why I refuse to swim in the ocean.

I know, I always get freaked out when I go to the beach!

The only way I'll get in is if I'm too drunk to care if I get eaten lol


My husband woke up with his face swollen and a terrible toothache

That's horrible. Did he get to go to the dentist yet?

Not yet, but I was his bedside nurse all day. Anything he needed I was sure to get.

That's very kind of you to be there for him like that.


I was expecting to get a better grade on my last exam, but alas it was lower than I had hoped.

Oh no did you research what happened for it to be like that?

Yeah I made some silly mistakes in my answers. I should have studied a bit harder I suppose.

I believe you will do better next semester, cheer up buddy


these people at work are so disrespectful and racist!! I can't wait till i quit! I'm an armed guard and they want me to help customers to find products and i'm not there for that!!

Hmmm sounds like an unpleasant job. Maybe they ask you for help because you're the only one around? It doesn't hurt to help those in need.

i understand, but i'm there to make sure everybody is safe. if i start helping customers i might miss a person getting a gun out or something like that

That is a fair point. You can't have those that are there to protect us be distracted. This is a key tenant when I'm on watch in the Navy.


My neighbor was robbed at home last week.  Since then, she has been too scared to stay by herself.  We let her stay with us for a couple of nights.

That sounds terrifying! I wouldn't want to stay alone either. That was nice you guys took her in.

She was a nervous wreck and we felt like it was a good idea for her to have some friends around for a while.

I don't blame her. I am sure she felt more at ease staying with you guys.


i love playing video games, i would like to make money doing it

actually i have, i watch streamers alot. i have an account just not many followers yet

It takes time and being entertaining. Thats interesting. It's a social media age :)


i was scared going home alone the other night


I consider myself a foodie now. Im skinny, but I love food

I would try anything until I had escargot on a cruise and it was awful


I got a statistics tutor over the summer

I think I cought on pretty well. I going to do well this semester.


I realized a while ago, that it is good if you are not afraid of fear.

What made you realize that? You can't live in fear

Yes, but if you don't run away from it, there wont be any fear.


I did one of those water coasters the other day.

It was a blast.  Like a roller coaster on water.


I cannot wait for the new super smash bros for the nintendo switch, I hope it is really good!

I hear great reviews, people who have played it are raving about it

I have heard that too, I just wanna get my hands on it

I wish you get it as soon as possible buddy


One time me and some friends were out driving and we almost crashed since it was so dark and rainy.


Hello! I just got a new neighbor who seems very nice. I have to leave town for a bit, and they offered to watch after my pets. I'm going out on a limb doing this but I've accepted their offer.

That sounds risky but at the same time if it works out convenient!

Yeah the convenience is certainly weighing heavily on my decision making, but they seemed nice and they have pets of their own. I hope it works out.

I am sure it will be fine!  It's not like you don't know where they live haha


They other day was my son's first day of school, and when I dropped him off it brought back so much memories.

Yes, he's my only son. I cant wait until he get's his first girlfriend like I did in middle school. Those were the days.


I get to snuggle all day with my little boy tomorrow

Aww I miss my kids being little and having snuggle parties!

He had a fever at school this afternoon so they won't let him go even though he is feeling better


I was a bit irritated when the police bothered me the other night when I was simply walking. They do this a lot here.

I know right? I can't wait to move. Seems like I can't ever go walking at night without them rolling up as if they don't have a million other things to do.

Police here do that sometimes. It sucks.


I could have sworn I saw a snake in my backyard but I haven't seen it again

That is horrible. Do you live in a city or rural areas?

It's more of a city... I'm going to have to call animal control. I don't want to see it again!

It is unbelievable to meet these wild animals in a city. You should definitely call them


It seems everyone in my family has a big house, except us.

Eh, you'll get there eventually. Besides, big houses aren't even that great! All you need is a moderate amount of space to live comfortably.

Well, it does bother me sometimes, but then I also realize we don't have the debt they have eihter.

And that's the best part. Many of those folks with nice houses have mountains of debt. It causes a lot of stress.


My wife is the best thing to happen to me since sliced bread

i've been with her for 10 years and she's wonderful mother and wife and always puts her family first

Aw, that's great to hear about happy marriages! I hope you tell her often how much you appreciate her!  I'm sure you're a great husband too.


My dad gave me this necklace way back in the day and it is so cool. I wear it every day.

That's so sweet!  I bet he is an awesome dad!

Eh he was less than awesome in some cases, but he is still my dad.

This is true.  Did you have some good memorable times together?


I'm a bit let down by my workplace recently

How come, what are you doing wrong at work?

Well we had vacation we were promised, and I planned for, but then due to an emergency it all was cancelled.

I'm sorry to hear that, you must be so let down.


My baby napped for three hours today, which is NOT usual.

Oh wow, You think you baby might be a little sick?

Nope, I think he was just tuckered out!  I managed to get a lot of housework done, so it was nice.

I'm glad to hear it. It's always nice to get a little "me" time to get things done.


I saw someone hurt themselves at work and it was so gross!

Oh no! How was your co-worker doing afterwards?

He had a good amount of time to recuperate. That's good to hear.


When my spouse walked out on me and my kids I was so glad to have my friends. They brought me food and babysat for me.

Oh that's awful! How many kids do you have?

I have two. My friends were there for me when I needed them most. I am so grateful for them.

That's wonderful.  It's good to have good friends.


I have plans so go to the beach with my wife for a week next month

I cant wait! we have been looking forward to going back since our honeymoon.


I'm making guacamole for the first time.

Did someone give you a recipe or did you google it? Keep tasting it until you get what you want!

Oh I definitely google'd it. I hope it turns out well. It does have a lot of good reviews.

As long as it has good reviews, make sure you put a little squeeze of lime in it at the end. It really brings out the flavor. right before you serve it tho.


I totally thought that I failed this midterm but I somehow passed it!

Yeah it made me really happy and it shocked me too.


I really like the new paint job on my house.

That's nice. What color did you paint it?

Those are swell colors! I am sure they will bring any guests much joy and merriment.


I was very scared when flying for the first time

I can imagine! Did you end up having a good flight?

That's good! Hopefully you had a nice seatmate too!


Skydiving taught me how to let go and stop trying to fix everything

Wow. That's amazing. Were you afraid to try it?

Yeah the hardest part for me was just realizing that I wouldn't be in control, but it was very natural in the end

Do you often feel like you want to be in control? Cause i totally do.


I was outside playing with my dogs earlier. Throwing the ball around, they got so playful and ran around as fast as they could!

That's so cool! I really wish I had a dog!

They are the best! Cats are also great though

I really like cats but I want a dog at some point.


I was picked to be the next contestant on the reality show survivor

Whoa that is awesome. I could never be on that show.

I cant wait to watch. You must be beyond excited.


I didn't she would play the same song all day

She sounds like she enjoyed it though lol


I'm hopefully that their will be peace in this world.

I am hopeful as well, but because we are human beings, I doubt that will ever happen. There will always be the same old squabbles that have occurred since the dawn of man.

True, just don't like how the world is inching toward a conflict that could spill over to a nuclear war.

Yeah, sadly our world leaders are too focused on "flexing" instead of working towards creating a world that is sustainable and liveable for our grandchildren's children


I once lived in a hotel and was already overfull with animals and I heard a dog barking panicked in the woods one night. She was tied up in over 100 degree weather- no water, filthy, way overbred and starved.

I was terrified for a moment as it was back in the woods where some sketchy people hang out at night and live- but I grabbed her from that rope and I hid her for a few days until I found a rescue. I was threatened too- Her "owner" was out DRINKING instead of feeding or watering her- She was so starved and could've died in the heat. Even though I was scared there was no way I was giving her back.

I agree with that.  That animal is probably very lucky because of you.


I'm going to have a baby next week,,,, I think im ready!

That's so nice! What are you going to name her?


I hope the new super smash bros will be really good!


My dog pooped on the rug today. I was so peeved!

I hate when that happens and I dont even have a dog

It is a terrible thing. That pooch needs to stop doing it or I am going to have to get rid of her...which I really don't want to do.

are there places you can take the dog where they teach them not to do that


Last week, I can't believe I forgot it was my best friend's birthday. I felt like I betrayed our friendship.

Oh no! I did that last month. I still feel bad. Get them a gift to say sorry.

Definitely. I tried to make it up by shooting him a text message but I still feel bad.

Give him a call too. It is a bit more personal.


So last week for my birthday two of my friends flew down and I was not aware of it. It really meant a lot because I just moved to a new city.

I couldnt believe it when they called me from the airport asking where my new place was. I thought they were playing a mean prank. I was shocked and so happy to see them.

I bet that warmed your heart. My old friends won't even drive across the city for me. We always meet downtown.


Maybe it needs some company. I read that parrots like to have another bird around.


MY son went to the potty all by himself today.

I ws surprised because he is so stubborn


I'm worried about my job interview tomorrow, I really want this job. I hate this feeling!

I'm sure you will do fine! Just be confident, what is the job/

It's for a graphic design job, I've never worked in the field but it has always been a passion of mine.

Oh wow that sounds exciting! I'm sure you'll do great, just express that passion!


He just graduated from college. He put in so much work.

That's amazing! Tell him congratulations from a friendly stranger.


I miss my dog. I wish I would've spent more time with her when she was alive.

Aw, I'm sorry. Losing a pet is very hard. I recently lost a cat. It hurts.

I'm sorry for your loss as well. They are really like family.

Thank you. Yes, even though it's been a month since we said goodbye, I still look for him around the house.


My boss wants to talk to me after lunch. I don't know what it could be about.

I'm hoping so, too. I wish they wouldn't do this.

I can only imagine how frustrating that is, that's why I work at home full time.


Getting away is definitely needed sometimes.

It sure is.  I can't wait to bask in the sun and relax on the water.

Are you vacationing somewhere nearby or somewhere else?


I really appreciated how my coworker gave my an unexpected gift the other day.

My coworker treated me to a nice lunch, we went to a local sushi spot.


All one? I prefer to be all two in my house.

lol. I'm alone. I don't like it. Its too quiet

Yeah, being alone a big ole house is often times more spooky than not. I almost got nabbed by a ghost the last time I was alone.


i am pretty comfy right now in my bed. i feel very relaxed.

Bed is always a source of comfort for me. Especially, after work when I feel so drained and stressed out

Yes that is the best time.  I like to come home, fix some food, and dive into my bed.  It is such a comfort.

Indeed. Particularly, when i grab my phone and watch short clips from my favorite TV shows on Youtube


Nice! Is this your first time having that done?

I have 600 channels and there is still nothing to watch that I like!

Oh geez! lol! Just watch tv online :) I do- that way always something I like, I can watch


My father passed away over the winter and we are huge baseball fans. This is the first season not watching games with him.

Oh my goodness that is so sad, I am sorry to hear about your father. Are you handling him being gone okay?

I am but baseball has kind of thrown it out of sorts. We really enjoyed going to games together when I was growing up.

I understand completely. I hope that you can enjoy going to more games, and carry on his spirit when you go.

I always try. Thank you for lending an ear.


I'm leaving town tomorrow for a mini vacation.

That is awesome. you must be very excited.

I can't wait.   I'm so sick of work right now.

I bet. It will be great to have some time to unwind and not think about it.


I am really hoping I get accepted into the school counseling program for grad school.

I think so! I just have to be prepared for the interview.


So i had some anger management issues as a kid. Makes me feel dumb thinking back.

I did too, honestly. I have really improved them myself, good to hear that you have too.

Yeah, being a lot calmer is nice and well less stress really.

Although I still deal with stress occasionally, I know exactly what you mean.


i was ready for that intervlew last week

That's the best way to go in to an interview. How do you think it went?


Why? What's going on? Or, y'know, not going on ?

It's mostly me. I'm just not really here today.

Is there something going on that's got you feeling that way?


Driving in traffic is such a frustration and in the city I live in there is always traffic.

I live in the city too, I can't stand traffic either.

It takes me 30 minutes to go a couple of miles! Sooo frustrating.

Oh that sounds even worse than my city! I'm sorry!


I took a test last week that I had studied very hard for. I know I got most of the answers right, but I got a failing grade.

Must've been a really difficult exam. Will there be other exams to balance it out?

The person sitting next to me copied my answers, so the teacher failed both of us.

I guess the teacher wasn't going to listen to you? That sucks.


I am scared about my upcoming job interview, I get really nervous about this type of thing

You will be ok. Just prepare for it and it will go great.

Dont psyche yourself out. Just be confident and yourself.


I wasn't expecting this, by when I woke up this morning on my birthday, my boyfriend informed me that he planned a trip to Califoria for us and that we are leaving today!

Same here! It was a wonderful idea, and very impromptu!

Hopefully everything goes really well for you and happy birthday!


My little brother graduated not too long ago.  He had to work hard but he made it through college

That's great, it's good to see people finish what they start. You must be very proud.

I was.  I know how hard it was for him so it was great seeing that hard work pay off in the long run.

Well, hopefully there will be nothing but great things for him in his future.


When I play tennis I think about my tournaments in high school

Were you any good in high school or was it just fun?

Just for fun, I was a champ at swimming, but tennis was more laidback for me

Oh okay well that sounds nice. I haven't played much tennis but I miss having more free time to do similar hobbies.


Man I am so glad I was able to climb out of poverty.

That's quite an accomplishment. You must have worked very hard.

I was homeless for about a year.  It felt like every day I would just descened even further.  But I always held out hope that things would get better.

That must have been a very hard time. Your persistence led you to this success because you never gave up that hope.


I was always afraid to go to sleep as a kid.

Yup! And in my closet! It was a hard world to live in without a handgun.

I used to believe they were in my closet too


i felt bad when i couldnt get off of work on time

That's always disappointing. In time for what?

Oh that's too bad. I am sure you felt bad, but your son probably understood.


I suffered from such terrible acne when I was younger that thankfully, I rarely ever have when I started college.

That's really bad, but really good that your faced didn't turn out scarred for life.

Well, I have some scars but at least I don't have acne anymore.

True. It is quite terrible to have acne. Mine is so bad that I can't even see.


I ate ten Big Macs last night because I was so hungry and depressed. I resented myself afterwards.

OMG, i don't think i could eat that many burgers in a week if I tried. What was bothering you so much that it lead to you eating so many burgers?

I was so bothered because the 30 chalupas that I ate at Taco Bell for lunch were very unsatisfying. I had to haze myself further to get rid of the feeling of remorse. It didn't work out too well.

Im sorry you felt that way, I hope you start feeling better. Maybe go for a walk and get some fresh air.


I think my dog will win the beauty pageant this year

I sure did. She's the prettiest dog on this block.


My dog had to be put down the other day. I'm heart broken

I'm really sad about it. I don't think I'll be able to get another dog for a while.

Yeah, it will take some for the pain to go away.


Someone is visiting me soon and i can't wait!

I bet she is! I am so glad you get to see her. Mom's are awesome!


I hear ya.  That's why I stay inside with the AC!!


It sounded like a big bomb went off the other night by my house.

Honestly you can't tell if it's gunshots here, fireworks (even though illegal most of the year here) or a firebomb. Police won't come..So unless I have cameras up...You don't know...or your window gets shot..


I'm so glad the kids went back to school today!

You must be relieved! You excited for free time?

Yes!  I can go back to having ice cream for breakfast!  I can watch Law and Order all I want to without the, "Mom, you always watch this!" comment!

That sounds seriously like a dream. I cannot wait until mine are old enough to start school.


I saw a cochroach in my living room last night.


My neighbors left trash all over the stairs.

They are new. There were bags of chips and crumbs everywhere.

You should definitely talk to them about that.


I have read alot so I know I won't fail the exam I am going for


My wife wanted me to clean the house while she was away for a few days and I ended up spending my free time playing video games instead. She was so pissed off when she got back. I feel terrible.

I kept telling myself that I was going to do it "later", but "later" never came. I can't blame her for being mad.

Well sometimes men tend to get lost in their video game world


I went out and stocked up on storm supplies yesterday.

With all the rain the east coast has had I want to make sure I am ready for any storm that may come my way


I'm pleased with how this weekend turned out, my family didn't cause me too much stress when they came over.

My family was over all weekend and we had a blast.

Families are great, they are always there to support and show love!


With all the money I've been saving up, I should be able to purchase an Oculus Rift Virtual Reality system soon!

Awesome, congrats! I'm not too familiar with the Oculus Rift, is there a particular game you're eager to play?

Hmm maybe Robo Recall, a game about fighting robots. Otherwise I have to find out what games are available!

Robot games are always fun. I bet you'll have a great time!


After all these years as a single mom, my kid is now a successful researcher. He's pretty happy in life.

That's got to be a pretty good feeling, to see our kids succeed and hopefully do better than us. I'm happy for you! What does he research?

He's working on Parkinson actually. He has such a great heart.

Parkinson's disease? That's pretty noble. Imagine if he were to be the one to help cause a breakthrough on curing it... How crazy would that be. Would add a nice legacy to your family.


I don't think I will go outside in the dark ever again.

Yes, I was robbed at gun point while walking home from work.

That must be traumatizing. Most people wouldn't want to go out alone after that. It's understandable.


I just got laid off from my job. I need the paycheck so this is not a good situation.

I am going to apply for new positions. Hopefully I will get something soon.


My landlord has not fixed a leaky tap in my apartment even though I've asked 4 times.

That's not good.  Can't you withhold if they refuse to fix the leak?  I would be really mad!

Yeah, my next step might be to call the tenant board. It's costing me a lot to lose so much water, not to mention it's wasteful.

That is true about the waste.  I would sue for compensation.  I think the law is on your side regarding this issue.


I feel like I'm getting sick... I better not though'.

Me too... specially when I'm about to go on vacation

That would be horrible. Have yo seen a doctor?


Recent debt accumulation had my credit score see a significant decline. I am afraid it would hurt my chances of applying for a new credit card

That sucks, hopefully you can come back from that

To be honest, i have invested considerable amount in cryptocurrency market. I am hopeful for them to lift me out of financial burdensome

That is usually pretty unlikely but I'm rooting for you.


i really am thankful for everything that i have and had

it is actually a little medal my dad gave me when i was little


My friend got a scholarship last year that he was barely able to get, it was quite a large amount of money.

It was the national merit, I felt bad because i felt jealous before i felt happy for him.

That's natural. Just don't tell him lol. You'll be alright buddy.


I really like going out to eat, but it might be bad for my health

Well, I think that all depends on where you're eating and how much you eat. Do you think you're eating anywhere unhealthy?

Definitely, all the fast food places are my guilty pleasure

Mine too. Whenever I go, I tend to get 10 happy meals. Gotta get all those toys!


I remember when movies actually focused more on the plot and acting rather than the special effects. I miss those times.

I completely agree. It used to be about the story line and the character development.

Hopefully it goes back to that, after all the special effect hype dies down!

I hope so, too. Meanwhile, you can just watch old movies.


I can't wait till next week.  School starts on Monday.

That's great! Are you in school or teaching?

Both actually.  Im a teacher but I am taking a class on the side too.

That's awesome! I am currently in college myself. I actually just finished two summer courses today. Not going to lie though, I could use a bit of a break before the fall semester begins.


Ok.. So I will admit it. I pee'd my pants the other day. At work.

Oh dear. Well, that does happen. Did you have any other clothes to change into?

No.. I had to sneak out and hope no one saw me.  LOL.  I think I was successful because I haven't heard anything bout it yet.

If your workplace is anything like mine, you'd have heard plenty by now. I've done something similar, but could call my husband to sneak in some clean clothes - they are useful now and again!


I'm not too fond of winter, but what kind of coat did you buy?

Awesome, I bet it's comfy! How cold does it get where you live?


I'm feeling good about some upcoming work events.

I'm in education administration. It's not the most exciting thing, but I enjoy it.

Good - it makes a big difference if you can enjoy your work.


a job I applied and interview for a couple of months ago offered me the job. It was unexpected.

thank you, when they called, I did not know who it was at first, then it was, wow I got the job

That's a long time to hold out hope.  I bet you were shocked.


One time when I was younger I wore a Halloween costume that I'd been looking forward to show off.  But I ended up covering myself up with a cape, because I was self conscious of how I looked.

Aww- I'm sorry that happened. Why were you embarrassed?

Well the costume itself ended up looking great, since my mom made it.  But I hadn't realized how fat I looked when i wore it, so I felt bad.

It's always difficult when you feel self-conscious - but I've learned that people rarely judge you as hard as you judge yourself.

That's true, but no matter how much I tell myself that I always end up thinking about it too much about it.  I'm constantly worrying about what people think of me.

Please try to be kinder to yourself! You are a great person- with a lot to offer. Always remember to be good to yourself.


Ugh, my cat keeps climbing up the curtains in my room.

That's the worst.  Is it damaging the curtains too much?

Yeah, he's tearing them up. I really wish he'd stop.

Is there anything you can put on them or near them to stop him?


I had an interview a month back for a great job. I went in there extremely nervous, but ended up with the job!

awesome! congratulation.  So you are enjoying the job now?

I am, it's been tough to prove myself there but I think I'm finally starting to feel comfortable here.

Keep doing what youre doing!  I think youll keep moving up that company ladder in no time


I am so sorry.  That has been happening a lot lately on the East Coast.


I went to my nieces softball competition and was blown away by how good she is.

She is 16. I had no idea she was so talented. I'm so happy to be her aunt!

If she is really good she could get a scholarship.


After the first team meeting under new management I felt very sure that i can depend on my team

That's great. Sometimes co-workers can be hit or miss. When you get good ones, it's awesome.

It actually really helps to do team building exercises and group outings


Whatever it is, you seem excited. What is it?

I'm going on vacation! I haven't been on one in years!

Vacations are sooooo nice!!!  I hope you have an amazing one@!


I'm so mad. I bought a used car for my son and found out later the odometer had been rolled back.

Well, I've contacted the police, the DMV and their bond company but I'm not getting anywhere. I don't know how people like that can sleep at night.

I do not know, how did you discover that was the case?


feels disappointed because my friend fights with me


I confronted a cashier the other day about over charging me but it turns out that I was wrong.

Ouch!  That had to feel embarrassing!  Did you apologize?

That's good.  That shows your true character.


I was so grossed out! One of my favorite restaurants that I go to every week was just shut down by the health department!

I'm not sure but the report said there were over 20 bugs found. Can you imagine how gross the kitchen must be?


My friend randomly gave me a gift out of nowhere!


I went to the dog rescue shelter the other day to get a dog.

Oh my goodness, I found 3, I hope I can manage them all.

Oh man!  You must have your hands full!  I bet you're having a ton of fun though


My daughter recently broke curfew by three hours!

I was super angry, yes! I ended up grounding her for three weeks- one week for each hour she was late.


I don't like how older kids ignore your messages.

It can be infuriating.  Do you call or send texts?

I send texts. He is my step-son. I tried to give him new furniture, and he just ignored the text.

My Mom sends me texts a lot.  But I'm not always looking at my phone.  When she calls though I usually answer.


Did I tell you what happened with the concert I was supposed to go to Saturday?

Well first of all, it wasn't just any concert - it was Jay-Z and Beyonce! AND IT GOT RAINED OUT!


I am so sure that I will be able to buy my dream car in 2 months

I have worked so hard and  I saved a large chunk of the money

Oh it's actually an SUV, Chevrolet Suburban


High School was a bad time for me. Was called names all the time but never physical stuff.

As a fat guy who wore all black and played Magic: The Gathering everyday in the library, I can relate lol.

That is good to know! But like one time on my way to lunch someone pushed me face first into the wall. I just went to the bathroom and cried the rest of the day.

I never got in any fights, but I never got pushed around either.


Last night I stopped at a gas station on the way home from work just to grab a snack and while I was there the place was robbed at gun point.

I'm a little shaken up, but I think I'll be okay. Especially because no one was hurt during the robbery.

Thankful that no one was hurt, did you call the police?


When my dog died last year I was so sad. It happened randomly


I foiund money in the back pocket of some dirty jeans.


That's pretty scary.  Was it like a scene from taken?


For my 21st birthday my friends threw me a surprise party. Friends that I hadn't seen in years showed up, it was great.

Yea I was so shocked, they really came through for me. They are great people!


I just returned from a trip to Canada, and I was so surprised by how friendly everyone was there!

Wow, I didn't know that! Did you have a good time?

It was a very pleasant surprise to me too! I had a wonderful time, the customer service was completely outstanding!

That's wonderful! I am so glad that you had a good time. Maybe I will visit there one day.


Yeah, thanks.  I'm really nervous, but I am eager to hear her answer.  I'm not sure how it will go.


I just got this $500 phone, and it's already broken.

Dang, that sucks. Do you have an insurance policy on it?

Nice. At least you won't lose any money.


Woof I am having a hard time as of late. I've been waiting on an acceptance into a video production program and it's driving me up the wall.

It is. A lot of self doubt has crept into my head as of late and I'm trying to fight it off.

Patience isn't always a virtue that I am good with either. You should feel confident in your work!


I put in to get a promotion at work, and I should know something either way by tomorrow.

Wow, that's really exciting! Good for you, you must be nervous.

On the one hand, I am but on the other hand I have to relax knowing I did everything I could do and worked as hard as I could.  It's kinda out of my hands now.

That's great, what kind of work are you in?

Well I really hope you get it. You're right, you did what you could.


I took my son to the lake the other day, and we ended up skipping rocks. I don't know why people skip rocks; it's not really fun or anything, but we did it. It reminded me of my grandfather and I when I was a kid, and we'd do the same thing.

haha..yeah it is kid of pointless but it is a little fun as a kid. im sure your son will remember

Yeah, I hope so. You never really know what kind of moments someone is going to remember. I remember all sorts of things that weren't really important, but I guess they were important to me at the time.

i agree. i remember a lot of obscure things that my parents are surprised i remember.


I loaned my friend a good bit of money, but he does not seem to be in any rush to pay me back

If you report him to his wife, the shame will make him pay you back

He doesn't have one (go figure) so that won't work. I just wish I had considered it more beforehand

Then talk to someone that he respects maybe they will talk senses into his "head"


My oldest friends live in San Francisco and I haven't had a chance to visit in four years.

I am sorry to hear that, you must miss them. Why haven't you been able to visit them?

Money, I just finished grad school last year and found a full time job.  Now I have a bit of vacation and I'm very excited to start planning the trip!

I see, that is very understandable, I am really glad that you will be able to see them soon! I hope you have a safe trip and a great time! :)


I'm off work and at home and relaxing. My day is finished.

Dang, I'm seriously about to go get one now you made me jealous.  Not even lying.


Oh, how cute! I love animals, especially puppies!

Yeah he is a cute one. Problem is that I saw the puppy eating out of the cat's litter box.

Oh, yuck! They will do that, but sure don't want puppy kisses later.


I would like to try to make some mac and cheese with truffle oil one day

Cool, what's truffle oil got to do with mac and cheese?


My boyfriend just turned around the other day and proposed to me while we were taking a walk!

I sure feel like it!  It was definitely unexpected but I'm thrilled!  He got be a beautiful ring with a diamond in it from his grandmother.


How come no one would walk with you. I would be afraid too.


my wife is the best. im so thankful for her

That's really awesome that you have a great partner like her!


I'm so glad my wife and son gets to stay home during the day

That sounds nice! I'm sure they appreciate it a lot.

I bet! Good bonding time. How old is your son?


I was at a hockey game and bought a ticket on a draw for a new car.

Well, I'm hopeful although statistics are definitely not on my side. I have a 1 in a 10,000 chance to win!


I interviewed for a new job but, didnt get an offer.

Are you sure you didn't get an offer but they are running behind?

I'm sorry, I'm sure you will find something soon.


I love my dogs, I get to see them when I visit my parents

They are mutts, we picked them up off the street

Oh ok. That is so nice of y'all. That does not happen often enough.


My brother got to argue a legal case in front of the supreme court. I was very proud.

Wow, I bet that was a really big deal!  What was it about?

It had to do with an injury and who was at fault, and if a big company should be held responsible.  It was a very big deal for him.


I am very uncertain if the fuel will be enough to drive me to the next station before I can buy

If it goes off. I might have to walk for 1 hour to the station

Whoa, that's quite a walk! I hope that doesn't happen. Do you have anyone to call for help?


My mom has been very depressed lately with her work lately. They randomly changed her schedule and she is having a hard time adapting.

Yeah, she's not getting any younger too.


I'm doing so well right now. I think I'm going to start dating again.

That sounds great! Did you just get out of a rough relationship?

Two years ago when I broke up with my ex he took everything with him and I had to start over. I feel great now though.

Oh gosh, I'm sorry to hear that. Hang in there, there's a lot of great guys out there.


Wow congratulations! Is this your first?

Yes! I could not be more ecstatic! I am so looking forward to being a mom!

Wow I'm sure you'll be a great parent! Best of luck!


I am jealous of my coworker, he is very athletic and smart and just got promoted, I wish I was that good

I can relate.  I have a colleague that seems better at everything than me and is now supervisor.  Just don't let jealousy take over your life. That will only hurt you.

I understand that, I still like the guy, I am just sad I did not get those traits sometimes is all

Just focus on what you do have, which I'm positive is a lot going for you!  You can also develop so many more good skills with focus and determination.  Just give it time and the hard work you're already doing.


I auditioned for a spot on the LA Kings Ice girls team.

Oh? That's pretty interesting! How did it go?

I think it went really well. I will find out next week if I made it.

I wish you the best of luck! I bet you did fine


So proud of my friend for making the hockey team.

That is amazing, what level is the team?

That is even more impressive!  I know they take hockey seriously up there, so your friend must be pretty darn good.

He really is, hoping to make the NHL some day.

I hope he does.  It would be good to have a friend in the NHL!


I am expecting a big recession on the horizon

Yes, I am as well. Do you have any investments that could be affected?

We all do.When the recession comes, it will affect the economy as a whole.

I understand that, but do you have a personal investment portfolio that will be directly affected?


I am alone in the house my parents travelled, i feel lonely and afraid

Is there anyone you could go and visit and maybe stay the night?


Once, I went camping with my family. We saw many animals and a beautiful creek. It was a happy time.

That sounds so great. Being in nature makes you feel so good.

It does! I really hope we get to go camping again this fall.

You should just make a plan and do it. It sounds like it is worthwhile.


i was happy when i got approved for a vacation

That's good to hear! How long is the vacation for?

That's not too bad. I hope you have a fun and relaxing vacation!


My son threw a pillow at my daughter while she was eating some pasta. She had on a really cute outfit. Of course it is stained now.

Oh no! Spaghetti sauce is so tough to get out

I know. I think i died a little inside when I saw her clothes.

Lol i am sorry about that! hopefully you can get it out


I was running today and felt like this car was following me..

Yes it was, I think I need to start carrying pepper spray or something

Also some kind of sound alert. You think you could scream for help during those times, but a lot of people actually don't.


The deadline for the work project was coming in two days and I was not done yet. Thankfully, my co-worker agreed to help me even though he was not obliged to

That was nice of him. You should take him out for dinner.

I think I owe him. I wish every co-worker was like this in every workplace. What a wonderful world this would be

That is impossible thou. It is a dog eat dog world out there.


So I moved to a new town recently, but I don't know anyone here to hang out with yet.

Ah that's difficult. Maybe you can see if there are any sports teams you can join?

That's a good idea, even though I'm not much on sports. Just a kind of bummer not knowing anyone yet.

Yeah I know what you mean. I'm in a similar situation right now as well.
