Just heard back from my boss about a promotion. He says it sounds good that I would get it.

Awesome! It seems like you really worked hard, what type of work do you do?

I work in marketing. It's kinda cut throat sometimes.

Oh, yeah. I couldn't do that type of work. It is too stressful for me.


My mother was just recently diagnosed with cancer.

It is, I had her move in with me so I could look after her

I'm praying that she will be fully healed, and that you will take good care of her.


A few weeks ago it was the anniversary of my mothers death and it never gets any easier.

That sucks, I love my mom so much I can't imagine her being dead...

I am sure you already do but just spoil her a lot and always let her know you care! I wish I had more time to do all of those things for her.

I will def do that, I need to be more grateful for while she is alive. Thank you for that


I keep heading a noises coming from my attic

Well, I think there's a family of squirrels living up there. I'm not worried about it, but it's keeping me from falling asleep.

Yeah that would suck.  You should throw some peanuts or corn up there.

I tempted to. I think I'm going to infiltrate their "Fort Knox" of nuts and scare them off.

haha do it!  Not like you'll be sleeping tonight anyway!

Lol operation "Scared Nutless" is in action.

haha YES!  Sounds like a fun Friday night :D


Last week my son went to visit family for a few days on his own.

He went to get spoiled by our cousins :)  But the house felt so empty without him.

Lol. Aww. I hope he is back now. Mine no longer lives with me and I kind of like the quiet.


I get nostalgic thinking about all the games I used to lpay with my friends on our street

I remember those games too. What kinds did you play? My favorite was flashlight tag.

Ball tag, ghost in the graveyard, kick the can, all the best games haha

Ghost in the graveyard was a blast! I can't believe I forgot that one. It sounds like we both had great childhoods.


I can't wait to finish my degree so I can become a nurse!

I imagine that it is an incredibly fulfilling and rewarding job. It's also a very needed job so I know that I'll always find a job somewhere.

That's good, it's a lot of work, sure you are ready for that?


My car has worked in months and now school has started

Oh boy, what are you going to do?  Do you have a good bus system you can use?

No. The school is close. But there are like 5 hills. I hate it lol

I hear you!  I hate physical activity that seems unnecessary.

I think I might enroll her in daycare justs for the ride to school


My son showed up at our door unexpectedly one day. He is in the Army and stationed in California!

wow, that must have been a surprise and a joy for you

i can imagine it. no matter how old and grown your son gets, he will always be your little boy


Have you ever heard someone try to inhale a sandwich? Like literally breath in every crumb like it's the last sandwich they'll ever eat...it's horrible

I do like a good sandwich thou. But I eat slow.


We tried to have kids for a very long time.

My parents had difficulties conceiving as well. What happened in the end?

Unfortunately each pregnancy ended in miscarriage, but we did eventually adopt.

That's so good to hear! I am actually adopted myself, and I love my family so much.


i hate that i have to worry when my wife and son go out alone, too many dang crazy folks in the world

That's very true, but I'm sure their both very smart and know how to avoid dangerous situations.

shes about to be strapped so i wont have to worry as much!

That will be great! A little peace of mind is all you need.


last week my friends and i ordered pizza while at their house, after an hour of eating the pizza i pucked everywhere on his couch, i feel so bad and grossed out

ewww that's gross!  Did you help clean it up?  And what was in that pizza anyway??

god knows what was in that pizza, but i helped clean and the mess was still showing, but he said it wasn't a problem


Ohh. Good for him. Some guys are born lucky

Ohh don't feel bad. I am sure someday you will get one.


During gym class today but pants split wide open. Everyone in the class could see my underwear.

The underwear were black silk, so I have no idea.

I would imagine they were quite delighted.


It can be rough when I have a problem and need to vent to someone

I understand, anything you need to talk about?

You are sweet because part of the problem is when I realize there really is no one to talk to. Thank you


My son won his last baseball game and he is going to the state championship!

He plays first base! Best first baseman in the whole state of Alaska.

Is there a big baseball following in Alaska?


No! I felt isolated! Away from my friends.

That is hard when you are young.  My family moved around a lot until I was 13.


I have been practicing all week for the interview I have tomorrow.

Oh you've definitely done your part to prepare. Good luck!

I have! I am so ready to crush this thing.


I felt very compassionate towards someone I know with a mental illness and how they need a permanent place for a home.

Not with me as they have not treated me very well and they need therapy etc but they have just had such a hard life and never learned as a child..so I feel bad for them even though they've acted bad. They are staying with my family. I just want them to have a safe home.

Well that's nice. Every one deserves to be in a safe and loving home.


yes .. got out of the gate.. and came back ..


I'm finally almost done with my associate's degree! I technically started wayyyy back in 2011, but I just got serious in 2016.

Oh that's great! Congratulations on your upcoming finish!

Thank you. :) I only have three classes left to take. I'm so excited.

That's amazing. I wish you the best of luck with the remaining classes!


I saw an old movie. It reminded me of my younger days.

That's cool, good movies have a way of tapping into those feelings.

Yes. It's almost like a time machine. Fond memories.

Sometimes it almost makes me want to go back somehow. But it's also important to move forward.


The aftermath was awful.  Trash and debris was everywhere and we were homeless.  We lived out in the country and it took some time before red cross came out to do their report and get help to us.

That sounds terrible. I hope you're okay now.

I am doing better now but it was really hard times.  We had moved everything up higher as we never expected our whole house to go.  Unfortunately we had all our belongings in the house as well.

Well all the matters is that no one was hurt. You can buy property again but not lives.


I am angry that my brother ruined a movie ending for me, that is such a rude move

That is a jerk move.   What movie was it.

It was the Village, which has a big twist at the end

That sucks. Sorry your brother is a jerl.


I can't wait for the next Star Wars movie to come out. I love Star Wars more than anything!

Would you believe I have never seen a Star Wars movie? Don't hate me lol

It's cool. It's not for everyone. I'm a nerd at heard so I love science fiction.


what i have is enough for me, i don't bother about other people's stuff

That's a good way to be. No point in being envious all the time.

yes, buddy and i wish everyone can be same too

Me too - it would stop so much hate and bitterness.


I met this girl at a party one time and I totally thought she was into me, though I had no reason to really think so.

Oh really? Why is that? Seems like you were aware of it

She was a little touchy feely but I think it was because she was a little tipsy. I asked her out though and she said yes and then we dated for a bit, so I guess my hunch turned out well.

Nice, good for you my dude. Hard to get girls these days.


i bought a new gun and i can't wait to go to the range! I really love going to the range

I believe I'm pretty good. I have to be! I work as an armed guard

ah respect for the armed forces!!. Good luck with your new gun!! Hope you have a blast


I've been having some financial problems lately and my family has helped a lot. I appreciate their help a lot.

It is so nice to have family be able to back you up in a time of need. Have you been able to catch up yet?

Yes that's true. And I did actually! Doing just fine now.

That is wonderful! Great wait to start the upcoming holiday season.


My small dog lunged and killed a baby bird that had fallen out of its nest.

No, just me.  I was holding back my other dog.  It was really hard to watch, even though I know it was his instinct.

Dogs can get crazy like that sometimes, I'm glad no one else saw it happen!


I was pretty disappointed when I found out I was passed over for a job

I know. I really thought it was in the bag.

Do you think the other person deserved it at all.


You just can't trust people any more. My mechanic told me it was going to be $1000 to fix my Jeep.

Wow that sounds pretty high to me. What was wrong with it?

Turns out, nothing much at all. A guy down the street got it running for $100.


I am still waiting to hear the results from the doctor.

They think I may have brain cancer. I can't seem to even sit still waiting for that phone call.

oh no thats terrible Im sorry to hear that


I gained some weight when my wife was pregnant and now i finally lost 15 lbs. i feel great!

That is good, it can be easy to sink into a bad lifestyle with a kid or stressed wife

She wasn't really stressed , she had nausea and the only food she could eat is french fries and pizza so i was eating all that food as well

That makes sense too, that is all I eat now, my metabolism may catch me one day, I need to make changes as well, but great for you losing the weight!


its a denzel ovie. I havent either but I cant wait to. i heard its really good


My boss accused me of messing up on a project when it wasn't my fault!

Did he give you a chance to tell your side of the story?

I told him it was my colleague who messed up the final report, but he didn't care and I was held responsible anyway. I'm so mad over it.

He does not sound like someone who is good to work for.  I'm sorry to hear about his ignorance toward you.


It looked like a cloudy mist.  I was so terrified!


I was leafing through my old photo albums this morning and ran across a picture of me and my mother. I really remember her fondly.

That would bring the tears. I love looking at pictures especially old ones.

Yes, it definitely did. It reminded me of a simpler time, before she abandoned our family to join the local nudist colony. Oh, I do miss her though. She was just the best!

Sounds like you are conflicted. She ran off but she's the best? Are you being sarcastic?


I caused a car wreck today, I pulled out in front of someone.

I'm fine but I don't think the other driver was. I felt really bad about it but I didn't see them,

It's okay, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. I hope the other driver is okay.


I was really hoping to go to the waterpark this weekend but it doesn't look like I'm gonna get to go.

It's looking like thunderstorms every day so they'll be closed.

That sucks. Maybe you can go next weekend


I felt guilty the other day for forgetting a close friend's birthday, just totally lost track of time.

I don't think I have ever remembered a single friends birthday until facebook was created.

Haha, true, I don't use facebook but this person has been a life long friend to me. I should of remembered!

He texted me acting upset, but I think he was joking.

Probably, you just have to remember next year!


I work two full time jobs and he stays at home all day, Not Fair!

Is he a stay at home father, or does he just not want to work?

He's 20 he just wants to party and sleep.

I am sorry to hear that. Maybe as he gets older he will get his priorities in order and see how hard you work.


I recently won a performance award at my job. That made me so happy!

I wish I can attend a party for this if there is


A guy once tried to mug me in Amsterdam.

No - he pulled a knife on me. But right at the same moment a policeman came round the corner


So we're a little short on money right now, but luckily we've got parents who want to help us.

That is great that they are willing and able to help.

Yeah they got us dinner and everything last night.  I think they know it's only temporary.

I bet that was such a relief for you guys!


I hate when they do that! Were you able to clean the rug?

Yes, but I was so angry at the little runt!

I bet! Time to get him trained a little better.


My son made me breakfast in bed today, I'm so glad he's my son

He's 8 so it wasn't a fancy spread but he sure did try!

Yeah, you got the best son in the world!


It seems every day in traffic i'll let someone out and don't get a wave or anything.

Thats the worst when you do something for someone and they dont even appear to care!

No doubt, but i always try to do what i would want someone to do for me.

Same! Two wrongs never make a right.  You are doing the right thing.


You wouldn't believe that's happened to me too!

Omg really! I was younger when it happened, 17.. so the entire time I just kept saying " my parents are going to kill me " :o

i was 22. Registering for college classes and I was freaking out so bad, they just told me to come back the next day. I didn't go back


I just finished doing all my laundry and packing for my trip.  Finally.. ready to go!

I am going on a cruise to the Bahamas.  Ive been getting ready all day.


My former roomate left her cat keychain here. We fought a lot, but I kinda miss her now.

Yea. She's going to grad school across the country now.

Oh, can you go across there and visit her?


I got this email about winning and iPhone and fell for it, I sent them the information they asked for

Oh no what happened once they got your information?

Well first off I started getting super weird emails and then I got an alert from my bank saying my account had been hacked!


My husband wont be back for a month due to work and Im here at the house by myself.

Im sure that is tough.  You must really miss him.

Yeah i have no pets or children so im just here in an empty house.

Nah just bored. Im new to this city so I dont know anybody either.

Oh that sounds even tougher.  It is a long time but I hope it flies by for you and your hubby is back home again.

Yea I agree! II feel so helpless being home by myself.


My friend passed away in a car crash a couple days ago, I'm still in shock.

Oh I'm sorry.  How are his family doing?

They've been really closed up about the whole thing, I can't contact them or anything. They must be going through a tough time, I could not imagine.

It's pretty hard to deal with.  One of my friend's buddies died in a car crash as well.


My cousin contacted me the other day via Facebook messenger. She had my twin aunts with her, one of whom I hadn't seen in over five years. It was such a delight to see them and chat with them!

I bet! I hope you were able to catch up!

Oh yes, and then some! They both looked so well and had lots to say. What a laugh we had. I'm so fortunate to have such a wonderful family!


I am looking forward to my wedding date! Of course you are also invited! :)

Oh that is definitely something to be excited about!

Yes it sure is, I have know Chris since we were 5 years old. I can not believe we have finally come this far and are getting married!

That is quite unique. I'm happy to hear that!


I came home and I quickly realized that my neighbors chopped down a tree in my front yard while I was away on vacation.

Oh man... that would tick me off.  What did you do?

I haven't done anything yet because I don't exactly know how to confront him. Maybe chop one of his down? In any event, I am pretty darn upset about it.

I probably would not chop his tree down.  You want to have the moral high ground.  But yes I would confront him


My nephew gave me the sweetest homemade gift of a painting he made for my birthday!

Yes, he really likes to paint now so he made sure to use all of his favorite colors.


I listened to a song the other day that reminded me of the past.

Glycerine by Bush. It made me feel odd, like I was in the past.

I've never heard of it, is it from the 80's?


My sister lost her job recently. I am trying to help her.

That's terrible! You are being nice to try and help her.

She get worried very quickly. So, she really need help and support.

Hopefully she can find something else quickly so she doesn't worry so much


Ok, and do you want to share this problem?

I've been seeing a doctor for it.  I've had to go through a lot of testing lately.

I see, at least you are getting professional help with your problem.


I was holding my brother's newborn earlier today... I held them up a little bit, with them facing down at me, and they puked all over me. Pretty cool. Can't get the smell of baby vomit out of my nose.

I have had that happen to me many times.

Yeah, it was kind of a wake-up call, since I'm of the age to have children. Like, "Well, this is what I have to look forward to." I'm not wild about the idea of having to deal with getting little sleep and having to deal with their bodily fluids. But I know it will make my wife happy.

It is definitely  a lot of work, but it is the best type of work I have ever done.


It's all new to me, I've never done it before

It'll be okay I promise.  First few days will be weird but you'll slip in no problem once you adjust to your schedule.


I've been reminiscing recently about the good old days, when I was a kid and didn't have to worry about bills and expenses.

Ah, I know what you mean! And remember *yearning* to be older?! (And of course the adults in *our* lives were shaking their heads, thinking the way we are now ;-))

Yes! I wished so much that I would be an adult so I could make my own decisions. Now I wish I could have someone else make those decisions for me! haha

As long as you keep your playful spirit, you're in good shape! Sometimes it takes work to hold that awareness, but I can see it in you!


I let my son use my debit card to go get pizza with his friends tonight.

No lol thankfully he knows not to abuse the privilege. I did good with that kid somehow.

That's good. I let my daughter go school shooping alon and she spent ten dollars on one shirt. I ended up buying everything myself


So remember I told you, that I've lost my phone for a moment on a subway?

So i guess I just dropped it, and a very old man, picked it up and gave it back to me


My partner passed her driving test the first time she took it. I only passed after third time of trying

Well, at least you passed. You're both on equal ground now.

I was not expecting it from her, but it turns out she is a good driver

That's great, it'll pay off for her over time.


I told my sister in law that I would help her with her books. After this last one, I felt bad because I told her I couldn't anymore.

I just have too much going on now with two kids, and working from home.

Yeah, I am in the same boat. It's a hard knock life out there.


I felt very bad when my boss did not approve of my work. It just makes me more motivated to work harder.

Did you spend a lot of the time on the project?

Yes, I feel like I worked really hard and I put in so many hours. I guess it was not good enough. :(

I wouldnt get discouraged.  Maybe talk to your boss and see what you can improve on next time.  I'm sure, at least if you have a good boss, they will want you to succeed and guide you in how to do better.


I am in the middle of a contract dispute and I don't know what is going to happen.

That's not good, what is the contract dispute about?

Someone owes me a lot of money, but they don't want to pay.  I don't want to go to court, but I may have to go that direction.

Yeah, that's always rough. I would take them to court if it's in the 4 digit range.


I dumped my girlfriend for a younger woman.

She was better looking.  I am so ashamed.

As you should be, you hurt your girlfriend's feelings.


I got a big math test coming up. I am so worried I will flunk it.

Don't think that well! As long as you are prepared, you will do great!

Yeah I think I need to study some more. I hate trigonometry so much.

Ah, yeah, I struggled with that too, but if you try hard enough you will get through it.


My mom sent me a package the other day that had a bunch of my old comics in it the other day. It was a real trip to go through them all, it brought back a lot of memories.

That sounds really great!  Do you like them as much as you remembered?

A lot of them were still pretty good, but I think my fondness for them largely hinges on my memories of reading them as a kid.

haha, I felt the same when I read some of my old baby sitter's club books


I decided to finally step it up, and work on my fitness routine to achieve results.

I am with myself, and sure I am going to follow through!


My girlfriend broke up with me recently...

I'm sorry. How long had you been together?

We were together for 3 years. I can't stand being alone.

Just try and get through each day, one at a time. Don't think too far ahead.


I left my food on the coffee table and my dog ate it.

That is a terrible tragedy, my friend. Did the dog get sick?

No, she is fine. I had to find something else to eat though.


I just watched the testimony before Congress today. It was quite a show.

Peter Strozy's. He was really acting like a sociopath or psychopath. There's even a new MEME in reference to Clockwork Orange just now about him being hashtagged in #StrzokworkOrange

Are they still going on about the election?


I am moving to new appartment. The new neighborhood is so nice. I am so happy that I found this appartment.

That is great, congratulations on the new place.  Is it somewhere you have wanted to move for a while now?

Yes, I wanted a swimming pool and a gym in the building.


I hate scary movies, they scare me so much, especially jumpscares

I understand. I had that problem when I was kid. Now it is ok.

I still dislike them, I do not know why they still scare me


I told them to go to bed hours ago. I can still hear them giggling

They do that every night. I cant wait for school to start.

Sorry! I meant that kids do that, enjoy it mom while they are little :)


A little of both. IT pretty far fom home.

My first few years I went from the east coast to Colorado. It will be the best time of your life.

Enjoy it before you get old. Before you know it college will be over and you will be a slave to student loan payments.


My friends put together a graduation party for me and I had no idea!

I almost did! it was such a sweet thing for them to do.

I wish I had a surprise arty thrwn for me. I would probably pass out lol


Do you ever feel like time is just going by way too fast?

OMG! especially recently. a week seems like one day.

Exactly! I have an 8 month old son and I feel like he is growing up so quickly. It's like he was just a noisy little bean yesterday.

That's so true. My daughter moved out this year and I'm wondering where the heck the time went!


I took my car to the dealership to get it inspected and checked overall for a road trip.

Yeah, I just want to make sure everything is running well before hitting the road.


It's good, he studied hard and did a great job but now I feel old.

My daughter will be 14 this year. You just made me feel old lol


I get to drive up to visit my family on Monday. I am pretty excited!

That sounds great!  Have you not seen them in a while?

I saw my sister about a month ago. But I haven't seen anyone else since February.

It will be good to catch up with them!  Family is all that matters.


My wife and I found the perfect house for sale and we excited to put a bid in on it.

that is exciting! will it be your first house?

Well it would have been, but someone got a bid in before us and it ended up being sold. My wife was so sad.

that is no good! hopefully yall will find a better one


I love my husband. We have been married for 22 yrs.

Hey that's amazing!!!  You don't see that often these days

Well it is my second marriage.. but hey at least its a long one.

You got that right!  Good job :D   What do you all do these days?  Anything fun?


I was looking at pictures of when I got engaged and can't believe how time has flown by, 14 years later.

Congrats! Time really does fly by, doesn't it? What was your favorite moment from it all/

It does!  I was so young! My favorite moment was when he was acting nervous and talking on and on and I had no idea what was happening, right before he proposed...it was so cute.

Aww, that does sound quite lovely. Before you know it it'll be 20 years! Any special plans then?


I have an wonderful husband and two precious kids. They are everything to me.

You are so lucky. They must bring you great joy.

They really do.  I couldn't have gotten to hard times without them.

That is amazing. I am sure they appreciate you too.


I have a table that is somewhat unsteady, I put my computer on there because I have no where else to put it.

Have you figured out what's the problem?

I have not, it seems to do ok except when my son puts his foot on there even though I tell him repeatedly not to do that!

Sounds like maybe one of the legs on the table is bent?


I just finished a big project of mine and I am really happy with how it turned out!

It was a painting of a waterfall. It is really beautiful

That's aweseome. I'm happy it turned out well. You must be pretty artistic


My husband just got called back into work, was not expecting that!

Someone stole some gear, so they called everyone back to investiage. We had just sat down to eat dinner to!


Do you like theme park rides? I used to enjoy them a lot, but one time my ride got stuck.

I think theme park rides are scary! Was it scary when you were stuck?

It really was, I was freaking out, but I also felt confident that we'd be saved. It didn't take too long, maybe 5-10 minutes before they were able to rescue us.

They are really good about that. They have a lot of safety features you don't even realize. We were stuck on Space Mountain once.


I am trying a new diet to treat my Lupus.

Really!  Good for you!  Are you excited to start or nervous?

I am nervous b/c so much rides on if this works or not.  If it doesn't than I have to take some really powerful meds that i would rather not take

It's OK to be nervous, but don't let it stop you!  No risk, no reward!


My partner is away getting treatment and therapy and it's hard.

I'm sorry to hear that.  What do they get treatment for?

Oh he just has a lot of trauma from childhood and he takes a lot out on me so he has to get help in order for anything to continue between us.

I'm sure that's really tough.  I hope he appreciates all that you're doing for him, and I'm sure it'll work out :)


I'm jealous of my co-worker, who seems to be in such good shape and able to have the willpower and patience to work out so much, and eat a healthy diet, while doing the same workload as me. I would love to look like he does, but I just don't have the patience. I wonder what his secret to success would be, if I asked

Maybe you can change that jealous energy into positive energy! Do some research into fitness and start a new journey.

Yeah, I know you're right. I believe you. The hardest thing is the dieting. I just have no interesting in most of the diet strategies, and it's hard to be on a diet and stay social. Every time I go to a party or out with friends, it doesn't allow for me to be very healthy. Something I'll have too figure out.

One tip I tell people is that they don't need to change WHAT they eat, only how much. Calorie intake is the important factor, not what type of calories.


I found 5 packs of gluten free cookies on clearance at my grocery store yesterday.

Wow, that doesn't happen very often. Well done. Those things are normally quite expensive, aren't they?

YES! I am intolerant of gluten and just want to die when I am on it, so it's always a good day when I can find cheap food that is also good for me! I am easily pleased lol. I love clearance stuff!

Me too. Clearance is the first place I head for in the store! It must be so difficult to be gluten intolerant - seems as if there's gluten in everything these days.

Oh there is :( I do eat it now and again but it seems to really screw up my weight loss and digestion so I try never to get near it. They have great gluten free alternatives but yep they are all expensive.

Something I found which helped me lots was to eat e.g. bread made from organic wheat. So long as I don't overindulge I'm fine - fingers crossed.

Organic helps me a lot as well but unfortunately most things that are gluten free are NOT organic and I am so sensitive to pesticides- Trying to find my way around that, I am also on Keto (low carb-...So my diet is hard some days !lol

Boy, you are having a tough time. Someone suggested buying imported pasta from Italy as the wheat doesn't have the same pesticides sprayed on it as us wheat. Dunno if it works tho'.


I had to care for my younger brother last week while he was sick. I tried my best to make him as comfortable as possible.

That's nice that you helped him. I'm sure he appreciated it!

He did, he is nice and well now. I just know how horrible it is to be sick, it helps to have someone to care for you.

Yes, it really does. I am sure if you get sick, he will remember and do the same for you!


School starts for me in a couple of weeks.


I can not believe how loyal my dogs are to me. I am so thankful that they will let me give medicine to them without putting up a fight.

Dogs are the best. are they ok?  what kind of medicine do you have to give them?

Well, right now they both have an ear infection. Both of them are Golden Retrievers and they both are very gentle dogs that let me administer medicine without any problems

Awww golden retrievers are adorable.  My ex had one of them.  Well I hope your dogs feel better soon.  Ear infections are no fun at all.


I cant wait for red dead redemption 2 to come out

sounds like you really enjoy this game. does is seem promising?

yea ive been waiting years for the game looks amazing

to be completely honest with you, i never played that game. but i hope it will come out soon!


We are headed for a big vacation in Florida next summer for our daughter's graduation trip.

Clearwater/Tampa area.  We are planning on going to Busch Gardens, Sea World, and a few other animal related places.  That's her passion, so we tried to plan things that centered around that.

Oh that sounds really fun and I bet she will love it all. I'm jealous :)


I feel mad when I hear about my friend's situation with his 2 daughters.  He's a single dad who works 10 hour shifts 6 days a week and the ex-wife collects the child support cash to pamper her new boyfriend

That is pretty bad situation he is in. I feel little mad myself too.

It's ridiculous, and what's worse he's a good sport and jokes about it....but I told him to find a lawyer and tell CPS

Yeah i would say the same to him too man.


You will never guess what I found today in the attic!

I found a photo of me and my husband when we were young and feel very nostalgic thinking about it


I really screwed up today! I was working on a big pot of pit beef, followed the old family recipe, and it tastes like garbage!

Could've been a seasoning issue, I'm not too sure. I was so determined to make a good batch of this stuff! Oh well, I can always try again.


I just found a wasp nest out side of my apartment.

I told the landlord. They are so slow about things. I have to use the back door. I am afraid of wasps

Get some hot shots raid spray it shoots like 20 to 30 feet in the air! I sprayed all the way from the ground to the top of my roof. Spray and run. lol!


I still am in disbelief ACDC is coming back.

Are they? Damn I can't believe I didn't hear.

Yes, hopefully they will tour next year.


I thought I saw my friend at the store but when I said hi, it turned out to be a stranger. I went red in the face.

They were very confused when they faced me.

oh man that sounds embarrassing. I would've just run out of the store and country


One time I saw a stray dog walking around a restaurant looking for food

Inside the restaurant ? What kind of place was this ?

It was outside a fried chicken chain restaurant


I know I got this job, just waiting for the conformation.

Exciting! Are you moving to a new company?

No, this is the first job I have ever had just out of high school.

Oh fun! I'm so excited for you. Try to learn as much as possible from this job and ask for career development opportunities!


My birthday was last week and I thought  everyone forgot about me.

Oh what happened instead? Did your friends throw you a party?

Yep! When I got home they were all there and had planned it all behind my back. It was great!

Wow! What a great surprise! You should thank the person that planned it!


I once went on a cruise excursion on Jet skis in the bahamas. I was unaware that we were going to go to a part of the area that sharks nest and frequent, and going to be close to so many sharks! The tour guide was helpful and knew what he was doing, but geez I felt like my life was in his hands!

I can imagine that was very scary! I don't know if I would be that brave!

Well it was not like we knew before we headed that way, so we stopped and the guy was like okay now were going to have a look at some sharks, heres what to do and heres what not to do, and if you dont listen to me, you signed a waiver so... lol

I guess it was a lifetime opportunity too. I'm sure it was an amazing experience!


I recently got accepted to an Electrical Engineering program at my school.

That awesome! Congratulations! You should be very proud of yourself!

I was very excited when I found out. Have you ever been accepted to anything that you really wanted before?

Yes, I have! It's a great feeling when all of your hard work pays off! Best of luck to you!


Once at a swimming competition, I had a wardrobe malfunction in front of a lot of people

Oh my goodness, that must have been humiliating.  What did you do?

I ran to the dressing room as fast as possible. At least I placed 3rd? Haha

Did it happen after you got out of the pool?

Yeah, I didn't realize till I got out of the water


my baby is sleeping. it's so peaceful and quiet in this house

I guess it makes you appreciate things you used to take for granted, lol. But it doesn't last forever and is worth it.


I'm going out to see "Kinky Boots" on Broadway tomorrow night! I really can't wait for it!

It's basically about a shoe manufacturer who becomes friends with a drag queen and makes a line of boots for her that ends up saving his factory.

Sounds like a really heartwarming story. Hope you have fun!


I hate seeing my best friend depressed. I've seen them so happy in life but seeing them like this now makes me feel unhappy.

I'm sorry to hear that. Have you tried to cheer them up?

I've tried calling and texting but she is not answering. I am so sad because I don't want her to do anything crazy...

Does she have any family you can call to check on her?


I was packing up things to move from my girlfriends house and found her son's lite brite.  It reminded me of my childhood and playing with that toy.

i remember the lite brite toy. it was a nice toy to have.

It really was! The toys back then seemed to have lasted a lot longer than the toys now too!

i agree, the toys now days are made cheaply and of poor quality. everything is about video games.


I don't think you are alone there! What do you find so irritating about it?

Well its supposed to be reality but seems so fake.

I know what you mean. All the people seem to be the same types - fame hungry narcissists


I lied to my friend about something, I'm too ashamed to even say what.

Will coming out with it be as bad as if you were caught ?


I felt bad the other day- I tried on a dress at the store and it looked awful, but I saw another girl trying it on as well and she looked great.

Oh I hate when that happens. I'm sorry you felt that way. Did you not buy the dress?

I didn't, but I did find some shirts I like luckily.

That's good though. I'm glad you were able to find something.


I recently sat down and went through some old love letters I wrote my wife when we were younger. Talk about brought back so many memories of when we were young and life was so simple.

Yeah that must have been a trip down memory lane.

Life is a lot more complicated now, but I'd say we still have a great life!


I hate how our country is so divided right now

It is, but I think it was all along and people are just standing up for what they believe in more now.

True. I hope we can become less divided in the future and solve things

Maybe, but I think the best we can hope for is tolerance.


I'm gonna be the last of my friends to get married, another one got engaged today.

I feel like maybe my soulmate got hit by a truck lol

Lol! Well I'm sure that's not the case! It's cliche for sure but the right person really comes along when you're not expecting it a lot of the time!


So my dog just graduated from his obedience course at his doggy school thing. I'm proud of him.

oh wow congrats! what kind of dog is he?

I have always wanted a corgi. They're very cute dogs. How old is he?


I finally get to go school shopping today!

That sounds like a lot of fun! Where are you headed to?

Thrift stores. That's wher you find the real bargains


I'm optimistic that my house is going to sell soon.

Only a week- and 17 people have seen it already, so I'm feeling good about it selling quickly!

Wow! That's awesome. I'm sure you'll sell soon.


The horror film I saw last night can cause nightmares. It was so scary!

I know how you feel! What did you watch?

I ended up watching The Ring! It was ridiculousness.


You will never guess what I am afraid of

No, flying cockroaches! *shivers* Just thinking about them gives me chills up my spine. They are huge, nasty and never die no matter how many times you hit them


I couldn't find anyone that wanted to hangout so I had to spend the whole weekend by myself.

Well sometimes that isn't a bad thing really. You didn't enjoy it at all?


I was shocked a couple of days ago when I made over $100 without even trying.  But then I remembered money is just energy and flows to whoever is open to it

Wow thats really impressive.  Well I need to be open.  Flow to me money, flow to me...

$1 Billion come to me.  Im ready to recieve you


I took the bus without paying for it. I feel bad afterward.


I was recently working on a project where unfortunately, my teammate really didn't pull their weight.

That is the worst!! I know that you must have been very frustrated with your teammate.

Yep. Especially when you feel that you get dinged for the overall project. And at the same time, you don't want to complain about it, because it makes *you* look bad!

There have been a number of times where this has happened to me too. I hope that doesn't happen to you too much in the future!! :)


The father had no money to pay his fees so I helped him now he bought me a car

Wow, how did he get so much money if he didn't have money to pay his fees, and what were the fees for?

oh he graduated and he is now working with Google, he bought me a car after 1 year of work


a few months, but I lied about my age when we met. Now I don't know what to do

if he loves you , it wont matter i am sure everything will work out at the end


I went to do the dishes the other day, and there were several plates in the sink that were still completely full of food.

Nah it was my wife's.  I can't stand it when she just dumps her plates in there without scraping off the food.

mine does the exact same thing! i hate it


My friend got promoted last week after one month of working

Nice! I hope you feel happy for him and not jealous!


I am plannin gon asking this girl out and i am so nervous.

I'm sure she'll be flattered if you're honest about how you're feeling!

Thanks! I think she knows but i have been shy for some reason. Im not the best at it.


I asked a girl out on a date the other day.  It didnt go the way I expected

At least you tried, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Don't give up.


I just found out my sister in law's husband was cheating on her for the past three years. As someone who is has been married for over 12 years and never even considered the idea of cheating, I'm shocked.

I don't understand why people just don't break up. Why cheat?

That's my line of thinking as well! I'd never cheat on my wife. I couldn't hurt someone I love like that. And if he didn't love her, why not tell her first?

People are just so inconsiderate sometimes. Even if you don't love the person anymore, at least treat them like someone you used to love.


So i felt bad once because i broke my parents fax machine. What made me feel bad even more he got angry.

well he did have a right to be angry (depending on how you broke it ofc)

Yeah he did but i felt bad cause he threw the fax machine into the kitchen. This was a heavy machine by the way.

oh darn thats just abit rude and unnecessary. I hope everything is ok now


No matter what I've done, my mom has always been supportive.

That's what mom's do! I think it's in our blood.

Moms aren't all great, but I'm glad you and my mom are.

That is true,not all moms are that way and that is sad.


I went to the movie with a friend, apparently he saw the movie before and kept chatting and telling me what's going to happen next in the movie.

i hate when someone does that, it can be so annoying :)

Yes it is geez! If I knew I would have never go with him.

no need to go that far, just make sure your friend has not seen the movie before and go out and enjoy it.


My dogs are like my children to me and I can't stand when they are outside to long!

Oh yes! I know your feeling. I see my dog as a child as well.

Its weird how much love you can have for something that can't even talk to you and not even the same species but I love my doggies so much.

Right! It's like some kind of spiritual bond I think. It's a wonderful love to have!


That's always a great holiday. What did you do to celebrate?

Sounds like a great time! Did you celebrate with family or friends?


That is quite an achievement! How did you do it?

Worked whatever I could and saved a lot.

I bet their were struggles and you learned a lot. Do you have any tips for me?


I have a 2 week vacation coming up. I'm very excited for it!

Sounds exciting! Are you going anywhere exotic?

Italy! It's my first international trip so it should be very fun

Nice! I visited Spain not too long ago. I am positive you will have a blast.


I couldnt celebrate my 18th birthday as I had exams during the time and I felt terrible for it. But my friends threw a surprise party for me and it was the best!

That's great! How did they surprise you?

I was studying in my bedroom for a couple of hours straight with headphones on and then my mom called me to the living room for dinner and when I went out the whole place was decorated and everyone was there

That is so sweet of them, I hope you enjoyed it!


I don't know how my friend juggles a full-time job, a family and going to school. I can barely survive school and work.

Maybe he doesn't sleep. Some people just have their lives together. Can't relate haha

hahah same here. I wish I had some of whatever gets him going.

Maybe it's adderall? It's very popular in schools


I was in a long line at the supermarket the other day. Then some lady just cut right in front of me like nothing.

Some people have no concept of being rude.

It mad me sick! Do they teach these people about manners?


My new printer!  I just bought it and it's giving me all kinds of problems already!

What kind is it?  I have a bad one too by the way.


I'm in high spirits with my new job, I have a feeling I'm going to love working there.

It's a graphic design job, something I've been doing a while but I really like the vibe at my new company!

That is great news, hopefully it goes well.


When I bought my house I made sure I had everything all ready including my down payment

Sounds like you are doing all the right things. Did anything go wrong?

no it took 2 weeks to close and no issues came up

Oh that is great! Congratulations on your knew home! That must be so exciting!


I had this amazing toy truck as a kid and accidentally broke it

yes I was devistated no other toy could make me happy


I did a Mud Run last week and had so much fun except when my shorts got so thick with mud that we were crawling through that they fell down and I couldn't keep them up. Red face for me.

No, I was fine except my pride suffered a great deal.  I thought my shorts were tight enough to stay put.  Evidently not.  Have you ever done a Mud Run?


There was a back neighbor that called my 10 year old son a ugly name one time, simply because he entered her yard slightly when he rode around the corner.!

What is a back neighbor? And that is crazy!

Yes, she lived several house back and she didn't know me, until after she did that! She knew me then, but after I talked to her, she apologized to both of us.


I can't believe I dropped my phone on the way to going to buy a phone cover.... I hadn't even had it for more than 2 days

oh my god, just your luck huh,  thats crazy.

Me either, I have broken every phone ive owned!


You sound very content. What makes you happy?

I have the best husband and son I could ever ask for!

Well that is a good reason. You are blessed.


I feel alone all the time. I wish I had room mates.

That really sucks. You can always look into new housing options.

I like the place I live I just wish I wasn't all alone.

Well do you have enough room to bring in a roomate?


I feel so guilty, I promised my friend I would come to her birthday party but forgot about it

Oh no! Maybe you can get her a gift and some sweets to make up for it?

You are brilliant! I can't believe I did not think of that, I will definitely get her some sweets to make it up to her


I just went to clean my kids sink a few minutes ago. I found a bunch of toys in the catch and I am mad.

Oh no! That is not good! Hopefully you were able to get them out.

Yeah, all the toys are out. But, they got some explaining to do after school.

LOL! I'm sure. Don't be too rough on them.


I figured out why my air conditioner wasn't working earlier. I was very pleased with myself.

Well done, at least you will sit in your room excited and relaxed now

Heat wave is getting so terrible theses days. I even watched on CNN that the whole of New South Wales is experiencing a drought, so sad


Yes, I love it here. It is the greatest country in the world.

No doubt, everyone who doesnt like it can kick rocks

That is how I feel about it. I love my country.


My sister in law got upset when she was over and I was trying to talk to her about it.

Oh no, was she upset at you or about something else?

About something else and I wanted to talk to her and make her feel better.

Well that's really kind of you to help her like that. She's lucky to have you!


I'm pretty proud with the weight I lost this past month.

That's great! Keep it up. Weight loss is tough

Yeah, the diet is the hard part for me.  I like the exercise part.

Haha yup dieting is hard. All I want to do is eat delicious stuff all the time


I took my wife to the airport for her trip out of the country for 2 months.  I felt really bad on the way home.

Ohh man, that is a long time to be alone.  What are you going to do while she is gone?

Mostly work and hang out with the dogs.  We just moved recently and I don't really know anyone outside of work.


It's always so quiet at night, on those nights when you can't sleep.

Yes, look it up, it's quite interesting.


I am confident my brother will beat this cancer.

Yes he will! your support is probably very important to him.

Amazing, He will pull through with the right amount of support.


I went to energency last week. They took my clothes. When I left the energency, I got my clothes back and I found that all the money that was in my wallet was gone.

That is awful! You should file a complaint!

I filed a complaint. They said that there was not money in the wallet. They made me mad.

I would see if you can escalate it. Talk to the corporate level.


I am trusting of my girlfriend, we have been dating almost 3 years now

that's good that you trust her! It's hard to have a relationship if you don't have trust

Exactly, with my younger generation, it is tough to find loyalty sometimes

i agree! I've been married for 5 years and i can't imagine being with anyone else but my wife


I graudated with a mechanical engineering degree in may.

im sure it wont take you long with that degree


I took the garbage to the road last night and the bag burst. Got nasty stuff all over my shirt.

Ugh, that's the worst!  Bright side - at least you weren't far from home that you were able to clean everything up, right?

No, my garbage can is 2 miles away. The smell was so strong that a herd of possums jumped me on the way back.

*blinks*  One, I didn't know possums travelled in herds and two, I am only hoping your day didn't get worse from there?

Oh, but it did. When I was almost there...ALMOST...a gaggle of ravenous hobos shanked me. I'm not sure why, but it happened, I swear.

Bless it!  And you survived all of that to tell the tale!  And all of this over a busted garbage bag!  We gotta get you a better brand of garbage bags, friend.  :)


My sister snores really hard every night it is getting really anoying

Have you ever woke her up and told her to stop?

well it is not really her fault it just makes me angry hahah

Thats hilarious, my mother snores like a monster


I'm hoping to find a new job as soon as possible

I was a Realtime Manager in a contact center.

Sounds like an interesting job. I hope you get that job that you're looking for.


I'm thinking about owning my first home.

That's awesome! Is something holding you back?

Well, I've been putting money away for a while now. I've almost got enough for a down payment.

Buying a home can be nerve wracking but in the end it's worth it!

Wishing you luck and here's to finding the perfect home!


I am already nervous about tomorrow. It might rain hard

If you have to leave just be very careful on the road.

Leave early and drive slower than normal. Just watch out for other drivers.


I am counting down the days till my bachelor party.


No one came to my birthday party last week.

Oh no, what happened? Did the invitations not get out or were people busy?

Yes i double checked on Facebook, and 50 of my "friends" said they would attend.

That is so weird, maybe try contacting them and see what happened. Sorry to hear.


My husband has to work all night. He ordered pizza. I am kind of wishing I had some pizza right now.

Mmm, pizza sounds good. What's keeping you from ordering pizza yourself? Why let him have all the fun?

I am not sure. I am thinking about ordering some. We will see.

Go for it! You'll only regret the pizzas you don't eat!


I love by myself and it gets so boring.  Its just me and my dog.

And that should have said LIVE lol.  She does.. but its not the same as having other people to talk to.

I guess so but it should be able to alleviate a lot of that loneliness.


Nope. I haven't been on a date in a year or so

Plus I work and am in college, so I guess I just haven't had time

I am sorry.  You sound like a really hard worker.


I'm happy for my girls going back to school this fall.

Ohhh I feel you! lol... Mine isnt quite school aged yet but I was just saying today I cant wait. ( ha ha! ) How old are they?

Does it get any easier as they get older? please tell me yes...


was it a real disaster or just seem like one?

It was a relative disaster for me. It just didn't go well. I still have flashbacks


I love going to places that I explored and play at as a child. Every time I go, I always feel super nostalgic.

I am very nostalgic too, that must be a fun time!

Yes, until you realize that it was 20 years since you played there, and you start feeling old

That is true, but it is part of life, but it is cool to see things again, regain perspective


I watched my daughter hit another big milestone in her life this week.

I watched her start high school, I was reminiscing about her starting kindegarten to what seems like last week.

oh god yes, they grow so fast next thing you know she's taking care of you and you are all old haha it's so wonderful


ive been feeling better since i just got payed , been a little bummed


my brothers ex wife hates us so much she told the nieces to hate us to , the funny thing is they love us more than her they are good kids

kids can always see where the good really is.

we love the kids , all she wants is the child support money for her self

thats not right. unfortunatly that happens too often


I didn't have enough money to pay my rent this month so I took the money from the cash at work. I feel terrible.

Dang, maybe you should have bought a lottery ticket instead?

yeah, well I couldn't risk loosing any more money. I don't know what to do.

Maybe you can find a cheaper place to live?


I have a flight on Sunday. I have everything packed already. I think I have everything I need.

That's really good. Where are you flying to?

I am going to Austin. I have dinner planned out for when I get there.

Nice! Texas is really nice this time of year.


Today is my off day and I wanted to sleep in, yet here I am awake early.

I am the same.. woke up at 6 for no reason

It sucks. I guess my body doesn't want me to sleep in any more.


I was so grossed out. I'm never going back.


There's a creepy guy that comes by at work that won't stop bothering me. He writes crazy letters, and keeps calling on the phone "just to chat" with me.

I would be reporting that to the police for sure.

I tried. They said they can't do anything unless he actually tries to physically harm me, which is insane to me.

Thats true right.. i forgot how stupid the law can be sometimes. Thats insane.


I loaned some money to my friend at work. Turns out he quit a couple days ago and I won't be getting my money back as I have no way of contacting him..

Wow! What a jerk for him to up and leave with no way to contact him. Was it a lot of money?

It was a medium amount of money but still, he did me so dirty.

I'm so sorry, you should see if you can find him on social media!


i miss watching chiller theatre with my family on fridays

Wow, what is chiller theatre? I'm intrigued.

it was a show that came on at midnight that would play scary movies. first 3d movie i ever saw was on the show. got the 3d glasses free with a pizza. lol

Must be fun but unnerving as well. Whats your favourite horror movie?


I saw my girlfriend with another man. I was going to propose to her that day...

Oh wow! I'm really sorry to hear that. That must have been shocking. Have you broken up now?

Yes I have. I am still so devastated that I have been in bed all day.

Oh I can understand the feeling. You should take some time for yourself before you try to do much else.


How old were you the first time you ever drove a vehicle?

I believe I was fifteen. I drove a soccer mom van!

That's ironic. I was 13. I decided to take my mom's van for a joyride.


A group of students at the university are extorting money from me. I am too afraid to go back to the university.

They sound very selfish trying to blackmail you like that. I would tell the teachers or professors asap


I made an A in all three of my summer courses. I must say that I even surprised myself.

You must be very proud of yourself. I am proud of you. You are a star.

Thank you I appreciate it. I didnt think I was capable of doing that.

So you really surprised yourself. I guess you studied hard.


I took in a kitten 2 months ago. I have been bottle feeding and raising her by hand.

Awww! How sweet! I love kittens, but it sounds like a lot of work!

Well she was abandoned by her mother. Usually kittens are not so much work

That was so kind of you to take her in. Poor little thing needed a new caregiver!


when i heard my wife and twins were in a car accident i didnt know what to think

they were ok.i had no information at first


im really exited to go to disneyland on vacation next summer

Omg that sounds like so much fun!!!!! Orlando?

yes im staying at the hotel for the first time i am really happy


MY sister got fired recently. I was happy

Wow, that can be stressful, Why were you happy?

She really hated the job. Now she can find something better.

Maybe she should have just quit! but i hope the best for her in the future.

indeed, the future could be bright for her.


I met a cow the other day and I went to go pet her. Something inside me told me to get away. Later that day the owner told me to stay away from her because she is known to attack people.

Yes I think so. That probably could have killed me. But I guess it was not my time. I angels saved me.

Good thing you listened to your gut feeling


I have worked along side my friend for 3 years we are always fighting or joking around but a few months back he just quit, he had a stroke every day at work i miss him he was a good friend

he is doing better , he could barely move for a while but he moved back to his original state where he came  from , hes doing good for himself


That's good! Any particular reasons why?

oh, damn! I wish I had one of those. That must be super nice.


Before I got my dog, my life felt empty. He's my best friend now !

That's great! He sounds like a good addition in your life.

My life is now complete. He's so trustworthy and listens to everything I say to him lol.

Awe I love my dog too, she's really sweet. Well except my dog doesn't listen, so I guess your dog beats mine, lol.


Nah, I promised not to tell it to anyone

That's no fair.  Your friend will never know.


My partner is away at therapy and getting help staying somewhere else so it's hard but its' for the best

It must be hard being apart. Just know he will return a better person most likely.

It is very hard. I live alone now so it makes it hard especially at night. I keep hoping so! As he has so many deep rooted issues.

He will need your support when he gets back. Just stay strong and know its for the best.


I had a habit of playing video games. Now my daughter is playing the same game in updated version.

Yeah! whenever she plays the game, I remember my childhood.


I was really scared when Hurricane Irma came through Florida last year. It was a pretty horrible experience.

I do, in Orlando. I feel lucky to have had no damage to my home and been in a central location, but the storm was awful and we had no power for 4 days.

Wow, that sounds terrifying. You are very lucky to have made it out without any property damage though.


My cat jumped up on the mantle and destroyed my mothers old vase. I am so distraught because that vase is over 50 years old.

It broke apart into many pieces. Its been in the family for so long.

I am sorry to hear that but luckily noone got hurt.


gosh ive been feeling so nervous for the past 24 hours, its almost like an impending sense of doom, To my knowledge theres nothing about to go wrong or blow up in my face but it feels like something is going badly

I get it. Sometimes I feel stressed out for no real reason myself.

i ordered some semi expensive tablet yesterday so maybe its that but like, i cant think of a logical reason why that would go wrong so im left wondering why i feel so nervous, its really weird, very hard to relax like this

Well sometimes companies make mistakes. I doubt it's anything you did.


I peed in the sink because the bathrooms were full and i really had to go

You have to do what you have to do. Did anyone walk out and see you? lol

no they couldnt the way the kitchen sink was situated. but i did not want to hold it in too much longer


I moved to northern Alaska last year and don't know anyone.

you havent met all three people in the city yet?

haha. I live about 1 hour south of Barrow the most northern place in the USA and about 12 hours north of any actual city.

ah well it sounds like i hit the nail on the head


I have been looking after my wife this week. She has the flu

oh poor thing, is she at least getting better?

haha that must be nice too though, you get your own alone time for the most part!


My husband went out of town for a few days.  Every sound I hear makes my hair stand up on end!

A few days, he will be back Saturday.  But I may not survive this trip, I cannot sleep at all I'm so freaked out.

Maybe you can get him on Skype or something?


Its my day off today!  Sitting on my deck enjoy the scenery and a cold iced tea

That sounds awesome. Enjoy your day off!

Thanks.  It's so peaceful and I am so relaxed and stress free at the moment.

Oh you got the place all to yourself, too?


My cat just scratched up my brand new leather couch while I was at work! I am so mad at him right now I could scream!

That's frustrating!  We have cat scratching posts EVERYWHERE to try to avoid that, but still had to put the sticky tape on the couch to prevent scratching

I have a cat scratch past as well, but he really liked the smell of the leather.  I should have known he was going to do that.

Cats are always getting into things they shouldn't, but I still love them


I am so anxious about my son being born in a couple of months, it will be my first child.

You are very fortunate. Have you decided on a name yet?

We haven't yet, it is so hard to decide!

You will know when the time is right. I am adopted myself, so I have a special place in my heart for new parents.


I received this email yesterday saying that I have unclaimed money and all I have to do is verify some information to receive it. I confirmed the validity of the email and it turns out to be a substantial amount of money.

Dang, that sounds too good to be true. If you're 100% sure that it's not a scam, and then 100% sure again that it's definitely not a scam (please really really check in every way possible), then I'm happy for you!

I am totally laughing out loud at your response! I thought the same thing when i first got the notice, however I have spoken with a representative and it an actually gift from a deceased family member.

Whaaat! That was cool of them. If it were me, it'd be torture trying to figure out what to do. Put it into stocks? Savings? Pay off debt? Go on a vacation? I hate making decisions cause I feel like I messed up no matter what I choose. But maybe you deserve a vacation, eh


I got a random bonus in my last paycheck I received this week.

That is awesome.  Did you find out what it was for?

It was because I got the employee of the month award! I knew flipping 1000 burgers would eventually provide dividends.


I've got these shoes for over 5 years now. The sole is all worn out.

Yea but I'll miss these. I bought them with my first paycheck.


My room mate keeps bugging me to take the trash out but it's his turn.

That is so annoying. Maybe you'd have to get a chart to keep track.

Yeah I didn't think I would be rooming with an adult 12 year old though.

That is too bad. I am sorry you have to deal with that.


My brother just bought a new watch and I want it so bad.

I can't afford it, but maybe he'll give it to me for Christmas.


I am feeling lonely but settled because things are peaceful.

Well, sometimes we can feel that way in life. Relieved because there isn't drama, but get a bit lonely. Maybe you can get out and meet some new people?

Nah, I have had that time pass. I am not up for people. Lonely meaning without a partner I live with. Yes, I love no drama in my home :)

Well, whatever makes you happy, that's what you should do. But, still, never hurts to at least have platonic friends :)


So I just bought plane tickets and book a hotel.  I am going to Vegas for the first time this fall!

im so excited for you, my friend has gone twice he said a lot of people are passed out drunk on the street , and even taco bell sells alcohol very weird place

I will avoid the passing out drunk on the street part, but I am very pumped to be going

i would love going one day as well , just ignore the drunk people i bet your gonna have a blast


I have to give a big speech in class tomorrow.

Nope! I have been practicing it in front of a mirror for about a week now. I think I am going to knock that thing out of the park!

That's great to hear. Your confidence will no doubt help you tomorrow.


My father passed away in November, it's made me feel empty ever since.

I'm so sorry for your loss! It's so hard to lose a parent.

I didn't think it would hit me hard. I felt like I was prepared.

Sadly, I don't think we can ever be prepared for that kind of loss.


I finally got to see a baseball game live this last week.

Nice! Who did you go see? Did you catch a homerun?

It was the Rockies, no home-run though, it was pretty high up there I felt like I could see the world.

That sounds amazing. All I have is my lowly Senators sea level stadium...I am mad jealous.


I'm going to take a trip on a cruise ship next weekend.

That's awesome! Where are you going on the cruise?

Watch out for the pirates of the Caribbean and the Bermuda triangle!


Last week I entered a contest to win an ipad at work and today I got the news that I won!

Congratulations! That is awesome!  I don't really have much luck in winning things.  Have you won anything else before in your life?

No, I never win! I didn't expect this lol

That is so cool. I have been drooling over an iPad!  Is it amazing??


I was just sitting here thinking bout long long long ago...

I keeping thinking bout when I used to be a girl scout.. and we would go camping out in the woods


Five is a great number, but six is even better. It's my favorite number, don't know why either!

oops!  sorry about that.  I want to tell you that I have been taking guitar lessons for almost a year now and will be playing in my first recital. I've got my song down perfectly so I know I'll do great.

No worries! That's so awesome. Are you taking lessons from a musician in a class, one on one, or online?


I had an accident today and I never want to show my face again at work.

I accidentally peed my pants when I was laughing.

Now that is quite embarrassing! What did your co-workers say?


I was driving home from work late at night and noticed a car following me. They made every turn that I did. I was all alone and this was before cell phones.

I would have been so scared. What did you do?

He stayed right with me until I got to my apartment complex and then I lost him in the parking lot. I ran into my apartment just in the nick of time, as I saw him drive by after I got inside.


I am currently dealing with epilepsy unfortunately, and the doctors have not found a treatment yet.

That is unfortunate. I hope that it is able to be treated well.

Thanks. I have to go to a Monitoring Unit in two weeks where they will induce seizures to see if they can pinpoint their location. Not going to be fun.

I hope it goes as smooth as possible. Hang in there.


That's awesome, I bet she loves you just as much!

Hopefully :)  We were high school sweethearts and got married 10 years ago!!

Aw, that's adorable, sounds like you guys will have a great life together!


I am taking a trip to Disney World next month! My wife is going for the first time!

That's so awesome, I'm really jealous! I've never been either, and I'm actually saving up for a trip!

I have been a couple of times before, and it is such a magical place! Where are you planning on taking a trip to?

Disney World too, I've always wanted to go! I hope you guys have a wonderful time!


I couldn't believe my friend started working with me

I work from home now for a an online retail company.

That's pretty neat. I imagine is very nice working from home. I wish I could so that I can stop working at the Nike sweatshop.


I have realized that I have it good in life

Life is always a lot better when the sun is shining.

Yes, I appreciate everything, even the sun

When the sun is shining walking and seeing the beautiful sights makes me smile.


Anytime I go to Mcdonald's I never order and feel sick.

That's non fun. I'm sorry to heard that. Maybe you shouldn't go there anymore?

The food is not very healthy so you are not missing much


This morning I don't know what got into me but on the way to work I picked up a homeless guy.

Yea, as I pulled over I thought it was someone down on his luck. Nope, he was crazy.

Haha, it started off ok. He was going to the train station. I agreed to take him. With in minutes he was talking to him self.

Well, At least you're in one piece. you could have been in several.


The worst think is when I do not have any clean clothes for work. The other day I had to wear my yoga pants because I forgot to do the laundry.

Wow. You can wear yoga pants to work? I'd like that dress code!

Yeah it is a telephone job so we have a relaxed dress code. But I don't like showing up with such revealing pants.

Ah I'm glad that's over for you then. Now you're less likely to forget doing laundry again.


I got a new job and it is so great and I have my old supervisor to thank she's the best.

Why you need to thank her? Is she the one that helped you to find the new job?

She was a great influence and gave me words of encouragement to branch out and go for more then our company job.


Ive been working very hard at work to get a promotion and I finally got it!

Decent! Manager position and I am pleased with it for sure!

Awesome, that is great, congratulations!


I ate the last piece of cake at the office party at work and didn't tell anyone.

Yeah it was too tempting. People are asking who did it, but I'll never tell.


We've moved a lot of the past decade for my husband's job.

oh really, hopefully its a pretty nice job cause moving is not fun.

yeah, change is so hard for me!  but it's been worth it

Well at least you get to be with the man you love...hopefully


Not many people are thankful for their family. I am glad you are.


I was laying in bed last night when I realized just how happy I am

Nope! I just realized how happy and content I am with my life!


I am helping my father as he has gotten older.

Is he unable to take care of himself now?


I would have been terrified! What did you do?


I found a box of old photos, brought back a lot of memories

That sounds so cool! Did you find any good ones?

That's so nice. Any in particular that you liked?


I went to visit a friend one day and her boyfriend made a pass at me. He actually suddenly kissed me, as I was waiting for my friend to return. I couldn't believe his nerve!

I quietly pushed him away, as I didn't want my friend to hear. I was so shocked and upset, since he knew I wouldn't want to make a scene and took advantage.


I was happy because my best friend called me to ask about his first time moving away from home.

Yeah. He was going to college. He went for a couple years. He didn't finish there.

I'm glad to hear he has moved on with his life! A huge step forward.


ever just stare at the ocean at dark? the bright moon shining into the water and into the retina of your eyes, it makes you very sentimental

yes! i live about 30 mins away from the coast . i love going at night

it's the best isn't it? especially here, no one goes so it's even better

yes, i love when the water is flat and its just a glassy reflection. i also love when the water is rough and loug


My daughter's dentist appointment went so great today!

Oh really?! Is she not afraid of the dentist?

She was totally afraid and had to be put to sleep to have dental work done and now she was just great and let them clean them without any issues. It was a relief.

Oh that's great! Sometimes it is just difficult to takes kids to the dentist.


I really don't like randomly pumping into old friends, it get's me nervous, and i saw one of my old friend's today and  i was surprised, to say the least

yeah it can be akward some times specially if you dont know what to talk about

yeah, so i tried to look for a way out before i admit defeat, but then i realised there was no way out and so i talked to them in the end

yeah a little chat to an old friend cannot hurt did you enjoy the conversation?

yeah it wasn't bad in the end, just awkward

well im glad it did not go in the wrong direction


I forget the lines in the school play. I was so embarrassed.

Oh no! Were there a lot of lines you had to remember?

Oh wow, thats impressive but I don't blame you for forgetting lines then since there were probably tons.


That's cool what's your favorite part about it

Dressing up with the kids. i have kept every costume my kids have had.

Nice, you're never too old to go trick or treating haha


I understand. Taking some rest is important.


I am looking forward to graduating next year.

Wow, impressive. What do you want to do?


I was very sad when my company had left me alone the other day.

Your company left you alone? In what way? That does sound like a troubling situation.

They had to leave on an emergency and so then I was all by myself..

Oh, I see. That makes a little more sense. Did everything work out, or are they still gone?


I had such a nice time with my aunt going through my uncles things after he passed

I'm so sorry to hear that. What did you guys find?

He had a lot of letters that he kept and he had old collectors items


I very much could count on my mom to always be there for me.

That's a blessing.  I know a lot of people didn't have a mom like that.

Is there anything she does specifically for her?


I live in a town that has several major highways. The other day I passed an awful accident where a car was mutilated beyond recognition and it was do to the carelessness of someone speeding onto the on ramp of the highway and not watching the traffic coming as they entered it. It made me angry.

It is truly horrible. Such incidents mostly happen due to drivers being careless like texting while driving. I hope no deadly casualties had been involved in this event

Well there was a body covered with a sheet beside the car and the entire highway was blocked off on that side because the Medical Examiner had not arrived yet.

My condolences to the family of that passed away man. It must be truly hard for them to grasp this whole sudden devastation


My daughter recently finished potty training!

She is 2! I was happy to get this accomplished before she turned 3. My friends son is 3 and still isn't trained.

Great to hear she's progressing well.  Maybe she'll be motivation for your friends son.


I was so sad growing up. I always wanted a horse and my parents never got me one.

That's too bad, did you ever get to ride horses at all?

No, I never did. That made me real sad as well.

Well I hope you get to be around horses someday!  I don't know much about them but they're so cool.


i was impressed when a friend of mine got a job 2 days after telling me he wanted to quit

That is impressive. He must have been prepared well for the switch.

yea i dont know about that but he usually gets what he wants

Good for him. It takes me forever to find a job.


My boss told me to go to school to become a doctor instead of a nurse. I felt like it was a compliment. Im worried about how much and how long medical school will take.

The journey there is always the toughest, its years of practice and studying but in the end it will be totally worth it

I agree. I guess I will weigh my options, its just im getting old and watn to start a family too, so I dont know.

With whatever you decide in life just know that you are a very skilled and intelligent person! Im sure you will find your path in life eventually with time


I was proud of my brother when he finished school. He worked so hard at it

Nice, tell him congrats. What did he major in?


My whole world revolves around my family they make me very happy

That is so heartwarmingly sweet. I know exactly how you feel since my family means the world to me as well.

they are my reason to live for sure, I don't look forward to my kids growing up and moving out

It's true they grow up so fast. This is why we should appreciate every second we have with them.


I had to put my dog to sleep and it was super stressing! :(

Thanks, it always sucks when you have to say goodbye.. but shes better off now without pain. Do you have any pets?

I don't. My apartment won't allow, but we are moving soon I hope to get a cat.


I remember when I submitted my CV to a company, I couldn't wait to get a response, hoping that it was positive!

I got the good response I was anticipating. I put a lot of work into my CV, and the application, so I was very happy with the result


I'm happy that I've got more maturity and self-discipline than most of my friends.  Based on my bank account and current income I can tell hen it's a good time to party and when it's a good time to stay in.  This situation also explains why most of them are broke and I'm not.

Yup. Are you staying in or going out tonight

im staying in.. its raining cats and dogs


We are in a tornado watch right now, so we may or may not get a tornado.

Not yet since it is only a watch and not a warning, but I have packed a tote if emergency supplies and put it in the basement just in case we end up there.

That is smart, hopefully thou it doesn't happen.


My cat is buts. he meows all night long. Its getting ridiculous.

They are, I hope yours behaves better in time


I had a job interview yesterday. It went so good, I know I got the job.

I hope you did. Is it one that you really wanted ?

Yes. I had been waiting for this opening for about a year.

Patience paid off for you then hopefully.


I was grateful I was live after a car wreck.

Thank you! Sorry I meant alive- It is very scary to be in the hospital and having others take care of you


I didn't get into my first choice school.

im sure you will do great where ever you end up going


I'm supposed to visit my sister's family for thanksgiving this year, but I'm not really looking forward to it. We haven't gotten along over the past several years.

Sibling rivalries are unfortunate. Hopefully you two can patch things up one day?

Maybe. She has a lot of mental difficulties that makes it hard to be around her. Short visits are okay, but anything longer than that gets uncomfortable.

Ah, i see. I hope you end up going and find a way to enjoy yourself. Family is all that matters in the end.


My dog was attacked by a coyote yesterday and she's been in the hospital ever since.

Oh no! I hope she's okay! Was she pretty bad?

Yes it was bad. I don't think she is going to make it. It is so upsetting.

Maybe she will. Vets are amazing and can do a lot nowadays to save animals.


I am finally getting to go to the Harry Potter attraction at Universal Studios! I love the movies and can hardly wait!

That is great. Did you watch all Harry Potter movies?

I have and many times over!  That is why I am so excited to go!


Really tired of the person in my life continuing to repeat the same mistakes.

I know that feeling, so frustrating!  Do you think there's a chance the person will change?

I have no idea..but they have behaved as if they would in the past and never stuck too it! I don't know how much more I can take of this.

I'm sorry!  Maybe you could try distancing yourself from this person, you have to protect yourself first.


I can't wait for the releash of the new Super Smash Brothers game.

I havent played video games in years I really need to buy a system but I dont even know where to begin now adays lol

Release* sorry. I'd suggest buying a Nintendo Wii maybe, lots of good games on there.

I liked it better when it said releash I figured you had a lisp. ( lol joking ) I will check into it! thanks


I really wanted an Oculus Rift.  I saved up enough and had to wait about a week before it was in stock at the store

I did!  It is by far the coolest thing I have ever bought!

yeah, I have it plugged into my computer.  I cant tell you, or even begin to explain, how real everything feels when you use it.

It was $400, having a computer that can run it is the expensive piece


Uh oh, that's bad. Did you have insurance for it?

Oh no! I hope you're able to get it fixed for cheap!


My husband started working out only 3 months ago and can already do 90 push ups in a row! Its crazy amazing!

Wow that is impressive. Do you work with him?

I do workout with him. I have a lot of muscle problems so I can only do 20 wall push ups but its a far cry from where I started.


I love pizza!  What is you favorite type?

None of it! People need to stay away from that stuff.

Why do you say that?  It can't be that bad for you, right?


I found out the other day that I am a finalist for a promotion at work.  It made me feel excited and good about the future

That is great. They noticed you because you are doing a good job,

I sure think that is the case.   Feel very positive about my chances


I heard something under my bed last night and freaked out.

It was a dog that my wife was going to surprise me with for my birthday today.  It had gotten out of its crate she was keeping it in and hid under the bed.


I got a really bad headache and it ruined my whole day


My teenager almost got kicked out of school when he was 16 because he kept getting caught with tobacco after the 5th time they said enough was enough and was really close of kicking him out for the rest of the year

Oh wow! That is intense! I am glad he didn't get kicked out!


My neighbor is so loud at night. Everynight after 11pm shes out in the parking lot, in and out of her vehicle making noise.

It is honestly especially when you have to work in the morning


I was 26 when I had my first child - that was a very scary experience.  I'm actually surprised we went on and had another one!

That is scary! As a 26 year old I cannot imagine actually having kids at this age. I'd be running around like a chicken

Well, unfortunately I got HELLP syndrome and basically my organs started shutting down - they had to do an emergency c-section and I was in the hospital over a week.

That's rough! I'm glad you're ok now (I hope), but that must have been really traumatic


My mother recently went to the bank for me. I love her so much.

That is really nice of her.  It is nice to have someone to help you do things sometimes.

Nice people are the best. Empathy is something we all need more of!

Yes.  Too many people these days are mean to one another!


I used to be a member of a very cool dance crew. I miss those days

I'm not a very good dancer.  What kind of dancing did you do?

mostly hip hop. We were travelling and battling with other teams. It was really fun


This semester is going to go great. I can feel it!

Sounds like hard work has been paying off for you.

I finally got my work and school life balance and I'm prepared so I hope so

That is always a good feeling. I love when I am on top of things.


Sounds great. I haven't been anywhere this year and probably won't . Had a lot of expenses lately.

That happens sometimes. Maybe next year.

I hope. How has your summer been so far?

I took my kids to the beach and now every time we leave the house they ask if that's where we are going.

How adorable.  I wish I lived a couple miles away from one.

Well it's 9 hours away so we probably won't go until next year either lol


I was cleaning out my closet and noticed some old photos I took of my very first car.  Man, it makes me miss the days when life was simple

Those were the days, my friend. What kind of car did you have?

I had an old Ford Taurus.  It was not much, but to me it was the best car ever!

Ford makes some pretty nifty cars! I have a Ford Focus myself. Not much, but it has killer gas mileage.


That's gonna take some time. I love their designs, but I hate the assembly!

That's really cool. Have fun building the dresser!


TSA made me pull down my pants in front of everybody at the airport yesterday. They thought I was a bomb threat.

Oh dang, that really sucks. I can't believe TSA would go that far, it must've been super embarrassing.

Yeah, I will never show my face there again.

Dude, you should definitely report it someone or the company because you could probably get something out of it.


I went through some of my old stuff yesterday, and I found my security blanket that I used when I was a kid!

It really did. It kinda made me sad, because it was all tattered and dirty. I ended up washing it.


I thank God every day for the many blessings. Especially our new home

5 months ago now. It's really nice here, there are 3 swimming pools


I went ice skating for the first time the other day.

I did.  It wasnt fun.  everyone saw and they laughed.  I hurt my wrist too. :(

Oh no! Well, at least it sounded like you and everyone had a good time.


I feel so blessed to be born in an area of the world without many major natural disasters.

Me too, I am very lucky to have moved. I used to live in a place with a lot of earthquakes and hurricanes

Wow, that must have been terrifying. I'm glad you're safer now. It's really a godsend to wake up in the morning and not feel afraid of where you are living.

Yes, it's a traumatic experience to be in an earthquake


I was the one who stole the camera from the studio.


I tripped over my own two feet down the busiest aisle in the grocery store and everyone laughed.

Wonder why they laughed. It's not like everyone hasn't done something embrassing like that.

Yeah, they might just be jerks but it made me feel awful.

Must feel really bad. I'm sorry that happened.


I remember when the Ice Cream Man used to come down my childhood street.

Those were the days. I remember buying 25 cents popsicles.

It really takes me back to the good old days.

yep. Those popsicles are like 1-3 dollars now


I'm super bummed out. I worked really hard for this promotion and I ended up not getting it.

I'm not sure, my boss won't return my request for a meeting emails.


Sadly, I agree with you.  As I get older, it seems like that more and more.  What happened that made you feel that way?

Oh so many things. Lots of trauma. Life really is just full of lots of really difficult events..trying to maintain your spirit and being a good person through it, is really the task of life!

Its so true! I battle chronic illness and excruciating pain daily for almost 14 years now not to mention drowning in old medical bills.  I put my faith in God and pray for relief.  Its really hard to stay optimistic.  I really hope life improves for you and you can enjoy and embrace life again.

Thank you! I have tried..it's been a VERY traumatic year in so many ways..and I didn't think it could get any worse a few years ago..Wrong! I hear you with pain! Please try every treatment you can. DIET plays a HUGE role- also chiropractor, Nuerofeedback, Different herbs! I found eating right, exercising, herbs, vitamins, organic food helped with my pain caused by doctors- I had tons of neuropathy, pain and fibro like symptoms in addition to the trauma of deaths, abuse etc. I hope YOU feel better and YOU inspire me right now that I don't have it so bad!!!

That is exactly what I've been going through along with horrible doctors that did nothing for me.  I just went high nutrient vegan 3 months ago and am improving my leaps and bounds.  I follow Dr. Joel Furhman.  You can keep going and your journey is giving you compassion for others that are going through horrible things.  Take heart and I hope you feel better.


I had to leave my last job because this manager they brought in was such an incompetent doofus.

Thats never good when you have a bad manager.  What made them so bad?

He was the "marketing manager" but couldn't market his way out of a paper bag, it was impossible to work with him. Plus he thought he knew everything which made it worse.

Know it alls are the worst.  Hopefully you are in a better spot now, with a manager who cares.


I dropped my phone and the whole screen shattered.  The phone cost a lot of money.  It shouldnt break like that.  Now i have to pay to get it fixed. Its ridiculous

Yes my friend experienced the same thing recently. It is a terrible thing especially when they make you pay to repair it.


Recently I had a very good customer service experience with my cable company. Not only did they fix the problem they gifted me free premium content for a year!

I bet it wasn't Comcast! They wouldn't even give you a cup of water for free.

That's so funny! I was so surprised too but really happy. I might even pay for the services when my free year is up.

I am glad you had a nice experience! Its difficult to find such a company that cares about its customers!


happy birthday !!! how did you celebrate ?

I got stupid lit! Im going to be the best at adult life. Can't you tell?


Last night my neice placed 5th at her dance performance. She was so upset and so was I

Why was she upset? Depending on how many people entered, fifth could be really good.

There were 30 girls. We worked very hard and felt she would place top 3 but what an outcome it was to be 5th.

That's still really good! She did better than 25 other people.


I'm sorry to hear that. What will you do now?

I will attend the local community college.

Like in Community! You'll have a great time and I'm sure everything will work out well.


I'm in a wedding party tomorrow, and I've been called upon to give a big toast during the reception.

Wow, that's such an honor.  How do you feel about it?

I am deeply touched and I've got everything laid out, but it's in front of a large amount of people and I'm sweating bullets over it.

I'd be very nervous too.  I get stage fright.


we are going to a concert sunday, i am sure its going to be great

That sounds like a lot of fun! Who are you going to see?


Make her dinner one night to cheer her up

She will enjoy that you are showing that you care.


My first baby just turned 11 yesterday. I can't believe she is a pre-teen now. I feel like she was just a baby not too long ago.

They grow up so fast! Have you noticed differences in her personality now that she's getting older?

Yes! She cares about her appearence more than ever and wants to shave her legs. She also has more of an attitude. Sometmes it's intentional and sometimes its not.

Its a hard age for girls as I'm sure you remember. At least she has a good mom to guide her!


My wife is having twins soon. I am eager and scared of the delivery date.

In a few weeks. I'm beside myself with joy and worry.

I hope everything works out well for you! That is so exciting.


I saw firsthand today how caring my cousin can be with children. She was being patient and cooperative with my unruly and difficult two-year-old nephew, and she's only 13-years-old herself. I was pretty proud of how she handled the difficult situation, and it made me imagine her as a mother in the future.

She will do great. OR she might not want to have kids be he is such a handful

Yeah, that's true. He's just a distant relative, so she doesn't see him often. But you're right, I shouldn't immediately assume she would have them. I just think she'd be good with them, is all. But kids these days seem to be a little more picky about whether or not they'll have children, so we'll see.

Lids today are so picky about everything. Its sort of strange. Its nothing like when I was growing up


I found a stray cat and took it home. He was sick and I nursed him back to health.

He;s doing well and he's my buddy for sure.


I walked in the house and my wife was cheating on her diet with cake in her hand

Wow that sucks! What kind of diet is she on?

Dang, I've been thinking about dieting myself. Is it working out well for her?


I miss when I was a child. I didn't have to do anything besides school and play with my friends.

Now I have to work and pay bills. Responsibility is overrated. I will take childhood any day!


I'm jealous of my neighbor's new pool, it looks like they are having a blast with it.

Hmmm. Have you asked to go over for a dip? He never said you couldn't come over and partake in the fun!

Yeah, me and wife swam in it last weekend, it would be nice to jump in every day after work!

I am sure! Please let him know that I am game to come over for a pool party!


I asked my friend to get some stuff for a party, I knew I could count on him though.

I'm jealous of you. I'm a little introverted and antisocial, and never got good at developing friendships where I could make them long-lasting and trustworthy. Good for you

I understand, I'm a bit introverted myself, it gets easier the more you do it though.

Yeah, since I've been in college, I've been forced to socialize more and I'm getting better at it. It's a muscle just like anything else I guess, and you have to "work it out."


I have a special dinner arranged for me and my husband this week.

That's wonderful. He'll be so excited when he finds out!

Yes he will it's his birthday and we can have a night alone no kids just a nice dinner.

I hope you guys have a great time. Just the two of you.


I found a wallet in the subway. Instead of bringing it to an agent, I took it with me. I feel bad about it.

You can still turn it in! Just drop it off to the police or the people in charge at the subway.

Yes, I can do that but I already spent the money.

I would feel bad to but save up some cash put it back and bring it back. you got this.


Sometimes I get emotional about my brothers, they are very important to me

nothing wrong with that it sounds sweet and caring of you! How many do you have?

2, and they are both younger than me, so I was there role model growing up

So sweet! I am happy you have such a close connection with them !


I just got to college and am terribly homesick. I miss my house and my parents.

I know the feeling. I lived far away from my parents in college. It does get better.

I hope it does, otherwise I dont know how I will deal with this sadness.

I had to try to make friends and see my parents when I could. I wish you luck.


I'm concerned they will tell me something i do not want to hear.

Well would you rather have it creep up on you out of the blue?


I feel that, even though I prefer Winter

Yeah, I like the fall, but the change does make me a bit sad. It's a growing older type of thing.

I get that, but all seasons are good, you miss the ones that it is not


I just got word that I did not get my dream job. I thought the interview well too. I dont know what Im going to do now.

Keep your head up and keep applying to other companies, something will come around for you.

I just really took a blow. Its hard out here.

It is, but you have got to keep grinding.


PEople are crazy now a days. I watched people try to take a gas can from my yard!

It was during a power outage during a hurricane,  still made me mad.

Sheesh, people will take anything that's not nailed down these days.


I get more stoked about my future when I get the cheat codes to life unexpectedly.

Yes these days been feeling like Neo in the Matrix.  You ever get that feeling


I was so blissful after the births of both my girls. Such a sense of peace and relief on both a mental and physical level!

I wish I could relate. I'm a male, so I'll never know the pain and/or the reward that comes with growing a human being inside your body. It's such an impressive thing to go through, and no matter what, mothers will never get enough credit. You deserve serious props. What ages are they now?

15 and 19! It hasn't always been blissful, as any relationship's journey can attest to! But still a blessing. And maybe one day you'll be a dad...?

Yeah, I'll consider it. That's a nice thought. My brothers have had 5 kids between them, so I have plenty of nieces and nephews to deal with in the meantime, and they've given me lots of practice, but I'm grateful for that. 15 and 19, that's awesome. You're almost all the way through getting both of them to a stage where your job becomes a little easier.


About a year ago I lost my grandmother to cancer. I was really close to her.

I'm so sorry. I recently just lost both of my grandparents within a year. I know how you feel.

I'm sorry. It's really tough sometimes even thinking about it.


lately I saw a really beautiful piece of art and I loved it.


whats the plan to take care of this issue


I thought I was gonna get a raise at work today but I didn't get it.

darn, Have you been working towards one lately?

I have, I really felt like I deserved it this time around.


So I lost the ring that my best friend gave me when he moved out of country.  We had matching ones made and it's really breaking my heart.

Oh no! That's so sad. I'm so sorry, I know you must feel like crap.

It's strange sometimes how we get so attached to material things like this.  I know I really shouldn't but it feels like a piece of me is gone.

I understand completely. I have things of my grandfather's that I can never replace.


I entered an art exhibition recently. I've been an artist for over 20 years, and just gathered the courage to share my work. I'm glad I did!

They were hosting a competition and I received amazing feedback. I actually won first prize and "the people's choice" award! I couldn't believe it!


My cat went missing 3 days ago. I found her.

That must have been a little bit of a roller coaster. That's kind of why I'm not wild about cats, is because they're so independent, and the outside cats can just go hang out somewhere for days and not have a care in the world about you. But I guess that suits some people.

I found her on the side of the street with her guts hanging in the gutter. I was so upset and sad

Oh man.. so that was REALLY a roller coaster then. I'm so sorry.. I hope you're not overwhelming yourself with guilt about it. It sounds like something you could not have any control over.


My brother in law stole from me and my husband I am so mad.

He should be ashamed for himself, did he say why he did it?

No we haven't seen him or he won't return none of the family calls he took our $500 and disappeared,

Well, on the other hand you can think of this situation, as if you just paid $500 to a person to never bother you again.


My car got towed when I was getting coffee for my boss

Ouch that's awful!  Did you get it back yet?

Yeah I got it in the next hour, but i had to pay the fee


I've got the rest of the day off and I'm just going to sit in the couch and relax.

Sounds like a plan for a day off, I'd love to do that too.

Yeah, sometimes it's nice to just do a lot of nothing.


Did you do it on pourpuse? and if so did you feel bad after?

I was late to work so I needed to do anything I could. I felt terrible after the face because I could of caused an accident

but it was an accident on your part so dont feel so bad about it


Hey, I'm not doing to good, I had to put down my 13 year old dog

That is so depressing. They say dogs are man's best friend.

He was definitely mine, it's going to take a bit to get over him

I am sure, grieving can always take time. It is so hard to lose such a faithful companion.
