Last month our area received record amounts of rainfall. The river that is down from my house backed up so bad it flooded my entire house destroying practically everything.

Sorry to hear about that. Are the damages covered by an insurance?

Yes, we had insurance that is going to cover it, but it still sucks start from ground zero. Plus, insurance can't really replace some things.

I understand. It is always difficult to start from ground zero. Good luck.


Nope. I am far too lazy to do that. In response, I beat her with a pool noodle. Think that got the message across.

That pool noodle must be terrifying for her.


When I heard Anthony Bourdin had taken his own life, I was so shocked and upset. He gave so much pleasure to a lot of people, yet was miserable in his own life.

I think we never really know what is going on inside people's mind. Celebrities like Anthony and Robin Williams seems to live a good life, but in reality, they are suffering.

It's awful. I really wish far more resources were put toward mental health facilities and counselling in this country!

I completely agree! I think it would even help lower crime rates.

Most definitely. We actually need these resources to get mentally disturbed people off the streets and get them the help they deserve.

All around, it would be a good decision for society. Just last night, I was watching Live PD and there was a young man stealing a candy bar. He was a drug addict. I believe if he had the help he needed, he would not have to steal tiny amounts of food.


I took the money that my parents have been looking for, I feel bad

i feel very guilty i would have to confess to them


That is so amazing! Do you love cats as much as I love dogs, Ha!

Maybe I do. I kept this one and named it Kitty the Kat.

I found a cat too as a stray. We kept hoping we would find it's owner so never gave her a name so her name was forever Miss Kitty.


Every other night at around the same time, I keep hearing a girl scream


I had phone interview for a job. It went very well

Thank you. I wrote down a list of questions and key points beforehand.


I saw a strange figure in the woods whilst camping last weekend.

That must have frightened you.  Was it the beef jerky sasquatch?

It was actually and terrifying! unfortunately I only had a potato camera on me so no one believes me I show them the picture


A while back, I intervened when I saw my dad was picking on my younger sister.

That was good of you.  He didn't hurt her did he?

No, but he was just being mean. So mean he decided to kick me out of the house.

To my girlfriend's place. Luckily it only lasted a week, and my Mom is super caring and loving. She took me back in against his wishes.


Olives are just gross to eat and look at.

All of them, need to disappear from this earth.

My husband always says alcohol makes them acceptable.  lol


Me and this girl on Tinder seemed to really like each other until she randomly decided to ghost me.

I feel you bro, I just wish they wouldn't find a better guy and run off.


I'm not homeless. Me and my kids have been in this apartment too long and I want my own yard.


I get sentimental thinking about the old days when I used to go play outside all the time with neighbors, those were such great days

I know what you mean. It's not safe to send your kids out now.

That is true, but I just miss being a kid as well I guess

I have to take my kids to parks outside of our neighborhood.


I went to grocery store the other day and completely embarassed myself.

I filled an entire cart with food for a party and then realized I had forgot me purse at home.

Oh no. Did you end up having to leave the cart?


Those dang neighborhood kids keep egging my car!

I don't but it sucks cleaning my car off! It's gross and smells awful!

I know right? It's even more worse when it's hot outside and it cooks to your car so it's harder to clean up


I was in a big party city and the street was crowded with people. As I was walking my foot got tangled up on something and I went face first into a huge flower bed.

It hurt my pride more than it hurt my face.

Don't worry, people won't remember within a few months.

That is true. Plus it was a big party area so Im sure a lot of them drunk anyway.


We love going on our annual family camping trip, and just got back from it!

We went for a week, but did have to come back to town once.


Whenever I see a happy couple, I get so envious...

I know exactly what you mean. I've been single 2 years now.

I mean, I'm not ugly but it's been hard.

I think I'm a little rusty in that department myself.


I found out yesterday at work that I'm one of the top performers for my district!  I figured I was doing good, I didn't know I was doing *that* well!

Usually at the end of the day it's never anything nice when my supervisor wants to talk to me but she broke the news and I was surprised!  Been walking on sunshine all weekend!

I'm sure you've done some good work - would it be hard to talk to someone and make your case?


My friends didn't invite me out drinking last weekend. They didn't even bother texting me!

That's terrible! Did you say anything about it?

Yeah, they said they forgot but I think it's because there a guy I don't get along with that went with them. I'm still pissed though.

Yeah, I would be too. Hopefully they'll invite you in the future.


My wife got the flu yesterday. I ended up staying home to make sure she was ok.

She still has fever but I have been helping her hydrate and keeping her as comfortable as I can.

That stinks. I hope she feels better soon!


I'm worried I will fail my Chemistry test next week. I can't remember all the elements in the periodic table.

Have you been studying? If you do that, I am sure you won't fail.

Yeah I am going to type up some flash cards soon. I need to get on it soon!

Nice! I am sure you will pass with flying colors.


One of my favorite movies of all tyme is pans labyrinth by guillermo del toro , but the ending is a bit depressing even for me

I've never seen that movie, why is it depressing?

the little girl has a hard life, but in her head she is in a story , at the end she gets killed

Oh wow, that is very depressing. I hate movies like that.


I've been volunteering at the animal shelter as much as I can lately

That's so nice. I've done that a few times and really enjoyed it

I really enjoy it too, I love getting to take car of all the dogs and cats.


I littered out my car window today, I am so remorseful...

I'm sorry Earth!! I usually don't litter but it was so convenient at the time. I feel terrible

Just don't do again and I'll keep your secret.


My friend just got a new car and it's the same car I've been wanting ever since it came out

You bet I am! I told him I was driving my car whenever we go out because I don't want to see it,lol.

Ha ha, I don't blame you! Hopefully you can get the car you want soon though.


Sadly, I missed my wife's wedding anniversary

She was upset. I felt really bad for forgetting it.


I have this knife that I carry everyday. My dad gave it to me before he died.

Oh that's really nice to have something you can remember him by. It must be very special to you.

That's very sweet. I am certain he is with you.


I am looking forward to going on vacation in october! i need a vacation

My husband and i are going to the smokeys.  I have been but he hasn't.

That should be fun, what do you plan to do there?


I want to surprise my mother this weekend for her birthday with a gift.

There's a necklace she has been eyeing for awhile, and I want to show her how much I really appreciate and love her with it.

shes gonna be very happy , i would do the same for my mom


A lot of people are.  Money sense does not come natural to all people.

Well I shouldve known not to get her a line on my phone plan. She isn't paying her part again

Ouch!  That has got to hurt!  Are you really mad?


A while back I caught my partner at the time being dishonest to me.

That is to bad, is it someone you have been with a long time?

We were together for a year and a half and we had a child together shortly before I found out!

Wow, that is really messed up. Did you end up leaving them?


awww, a 1 year old.  I miss when my daughter was that young.


I won a vacation sweepstakes! I am shocked!

An all-inclusive resort for 5 nights in Florida.  I couldn't believe it since I NEVER win anything.


Football season is about to start. I used to always watch the opening day games with my dad. I'm halfway across the country now though, and we won't be able to do it in person for a long time. Makes me miss him

Oh dang, that is too bad.  Can you guys video call?

Eh, we're not really the type to do that. Especially not him. And it's not worth it. Just a phone call here or there. Just miss the tradition is all. We're big family people

Oh OK, hopefully you have some friends you can bring over and share your traditions.


Yesterday I wasn't paying attention while driving and almost hit a person in a crosswalk.  I felt so bad and knew I was in the wrong.

How scary!   Thank god nothing bad happened after all.

That is the important thing,  I always keep reminding myself to focus while driving too.


So everything for a party im throwing this weekend is ready and everything is paid for. I have it ready last week so I wouldnt stress.

It sounds like you're quite the organized person!

Yea. I like to have things ready and done prior to make sure everything goes well.

I'm the same way a lot of the time. It's really a good way to avoid any unnecessary disasters.


My parents are coming to visit me for Christmas this year finally

I did but we usually met up at other family members houses but this year they chose my house!

That's cool! Are you gonna go all out with decorations and things?


The last season of game of thrones is soon.

Wow, the last one? How many seasons have they made?

I think it's been 7. Yep its about to be over. I can't wait til the premier

I need to watch that show in my free time. EVeryone I know talks about that show constantly!


Im so happy my children were born healthy.

You are very lucky. I have 4 children and I have been lucky also to have healthy children.

That's good. I can't imagine what some parents have to go through. No child deserves to be sick.

I know what you mean. I am always so sad when I see all of these sick children on tv.

Hopefully we can cure some of these things so no child has to go through it.

I would be so happy if they could find a cure for cancer.


i was trying to sleep train my son but i failed. i didn't it's gonna be that hard. I think we will be co sleeping till he goes to college

Ha ha, I'm sure he'll get the the hang of it eventually. It takes some children longer than others to get used to.

I hope so, i miss sleeping in a comfortable position without baby feet in my face

I'm not looking forward to it when I have a kid! I can't function without a good 8 hours of sleep.


As a child, my parents would take us on a big road trip to Disneyland. I was looking at pictures this week and those were some great memories. I wish I could go back to that time!

Oh those definitely sound like some good memories! At least you have some pictures.

Yeah, it was such a simpler time. Being an adult sucks so much ha ha! I guess I should plan a road trip like that with my own children.

I'm sure they would enjoy that quite a bit. They can make memories just like you did.

We might have to fly, I live in a different part of the country now. Road trips are great, do you like them?

I do like them but I haven't been on that many, unfortunately.


My daughter is graduating from medical school this month.

Yeah, she is my little pride and joy, although she's not so little anymore.

An internist.  She has a little ways to go yet with her residency.

Oh. I don't know how medical school works. I am studying srt history.


I spent two hours yesterday washing and detailing my car.  Afterwards, a short time later, it started storming and my car got filthy again.

I was not happy to say the least.  Next time I will just take it to the car wash rather that waste my free time

I don't blame you for that. I would do the same.


My parents always praised my brother more than me for every little thing.

Is there any good reason for that ie; he has really low self esteem?

Possibly but either way it always felt unfair.

That sucks.  I understand why you feel that way.


I got my grades back for last semester and I am quite pleased.

That's great, your hardwork totally payed off

Thanks! Yes, I think I did my best anyway.

Stay positive and keep up the good work!


I am feeling anxious about my test tomorrow

No i completely forgot about it so I have been cramming all night :(

I hope it goes better than you expect! Cram all that information into your brain!


I am leaving in two days for a three month vacation. I have everything already packed and planned out.

I am going all over south east Asia. I have all my flights booked. All I have to do is show up.


I remember not having any responsibilities as a kid


My husband is very trustworthy, he's good at keeping a secret when asked to

That's really good you guys can trust eachother like that. That helps make you both grow in the relationship.

True, we've been together for over 20 years. Feeling comfortable in a relationship is important

Wow! You don't see much of that anymore. So true.

That is so true, it's sad to see people break up whether they are married or not or have children or not.

Yes, I am a product of a broken marriage. My children are too. Keep up the good work you guys!


My friend got a promotion at the casino in town.

That's great. Do you visit the casino often?

Not really I don't like losing money. The job is transferring her to Vegas though. She is moving soon

Yeah I don't have the best luck in casinos either.


I gave my friend some money that she said she would pay back but she hasn't yet.

I really thought  I could count on her, but now I haven't even heard a word from her. Lesson learned I guess.

That's how it goes. I usually consider the money as a lost cause when lending to friends.


I think work is finally starting to pay off for me the way it should.

Yes, it's much better than not making it.

It sure is and it gives you something to be proud of.


It was still so unexpected when my husband and I -- who were open to getting pregnant -- found out that we actually were!

Oh, that was nearly 20 years ago ;-) But I'll always remember that Chicago day, Halloween, visiting the Shedd Aquarium with friends.

Oh, lol. Did you get to see any sharks at the aquarium?

The thing I most remember were the beluga whales. So beautiful, in their own weird way -- and a baby beluga had just been born. It seemed provident!

Oh cool, yes that is very interesting. So how big were those whales in feet and the baby too?


There was a meeting scheduled today that I thought was utterly pointless.

Oh no, was it one of those meetings that should have been an email?

It definitely was, so I ended up skipping it.

Hopefully you don't get in trouble but I definitely know the feeling.


I hate it when I get to work in the morning and then realize I forgot to put any pants on. It is so awkward.

Ohh! that's so awkward! What happened then?

Luckily I always have a spare set of pants in my office. But I will try to remember next time not to leave my house without pants!

Yes! Maybe you should set a reminder next time! ha ha!


I am really happy I had enough money to correct a bank mistake today.

Well it was a bank mistake based on a company charging me early. I normally wouldn't have $200 extra dollars sitting around. So it was good!

If it was the bank's mistake, even if you didn't have enough money, they're responsible for fixing it.


Last week I had a big presentation at work, which I knew I was going to do well on.

That sounds like something that could really show off your talents.

I sure did, I had spent weeks learning the material, and really impressed my boss.

That's great! Hope your hard work pays off.


I stubbed my little toe. Never felt so much anguish and despair in my life.

Oh my goodness, you must have stubbed it pretty hard!

I did! That pesky shower stall had it in for me, I suppose. Luckily, I didn't have to go to the ER.

My husband broke his toe one time and it is permanently bent now! It looks pretty goofy.


i am pissed that someone put a dent in my car

I would be too, were you in a shopping center?

i was at walmart shopping for school supplies


i tripped in public the other day which sucked

Luckily not too many people saw you fall!


One day I went to school with a stain on my pants and I didn't realize it. I didn't find it until I came home.

And no one told you about it?  Maybe no one noticed it at all?

No they noticed. Everyone was laughing at me but I didn't know why.

That is horrible!  I hope they realize that their reaction was not exactly nice.


i am i een started doing yoga to relax. but nothing helps!


I am happy with my current position at work even though everyone is struggling to get posted for an international assignment I won't

It is good you are happy with your current position. What do you do?

I am a Data Engineer with a popular search engineer company :) I am happy because I want my family close to me


esterday, an old lady had a purse fall from her bag. I took it. I feel so bad.

I wanted the money because I don't work.


My roommate moved out and soon my girlfriend will move in but right now it is just me in the house. I dont remember the last time I lived without any roommates.

Nice! Enjoy it! I like living alone. It is so peaceful! I get lonely somtimes but for the most part it is great!

It does feel a little lonely.  It's weird coming home and not really having someone to talk to in person.

Yeah, but they are all just a phone call away. Keep your head up, your girlfriend will be there soon!


I have been practicing magic since I was a kid. I'm really good at it and I'm going to be the next David Copperfield.

well I can do a lot of card tricks, but I'm also good at slight of hand and bigger illusions as well.

Thats pretty cool! I am fascinated by that!


I'm really glad it's Sunday. Sundays are the one day I have off, and they're just lazy and slow and I'm lazy (and slow, ha) so it's my favorite time of the week.

Lucky for you! I'm at work right now! Haha!

Oh, sorry! Didn't mean to gloat, hang in there buddy.

No, its fine! Enjoy your day off, I definitely would if I were you!


i have never had another female companion other than my wife. today we celebrate 40 year anniversary

awww, that's so sweet i aspire to be like you with my fiance, i will sooon get married! what re you guys planning to do? and what's your guys secret for holding a relationship for so long?

we are having a big family party. theres no secret. when you find love it takes it course

i know she is the one, we are identical in every way, i am the only person who understands her and she is the only one who understands me, we communicate about everything and we are both non normies!


it was suprising when i got approved for the week off

Cool. Are you gona go anywhere special...


I got approved for a scholarship for college that I had been competing for for many months!

Nice! I wish I was more active in searching for scholarships like it sounds like you are. But this one sounds like it was a lot of hard work to earn. I haven't been the smartest about lightening the student loan debt burden while in school. Good on you for looking ahead.

I agree, I wanted to attend a higher ranking school but they didn't give me any scholarship so I decided not to accept their offer.

Sometimes compromises have to be made. But I have to say, I'm impressed that you were that self-aware about the entire process, especially as a somewhat new adult. Good for you for considering all the options and making the choice you felt was best. You sound like you'll be successful after college, especially because of how hard-working you are.


My friend recently lended me their car so I can go out of town

That was nice of them. Did you have any problems with their car?

They did not hesitate to lend me the car at all which is nice. No, I did not have any problems with the car.

THat is good to hear. What happened to your own car?


My son stood up to a kid who was bully him.

oh wow i hope it went well for him that takes a lot of courage.


I am feeling quite a lot of trepidation about the weekend coming up.

It might involve seeing someone I am kind of involved with and I am not ready to see them again.

ahh thats not good! hopefully it works out for you


Have you ever had that one go to person that no matter what, no matter what mess you get into they are always there for you?

Isn't it such a great feeling! Mine is my best friend, when I showed up at her door with my bag after my divorce- she let me stay with her without a doubt.

That's nice of her. Make sure you let her know how you feel


I lost a game of DoTA today! I can't believe it, it wasn't even my fault.

If it wasn't your fault, then what caused you to lose?

My stupid teammates all left the game. I was doing really well but couldn't win by myself.

Multiplayer games can be fun, but that's certainly a downfall to them!


I was loyal to the same company for 10 years.

That's rare these days, I was with mine for 7

Nice. I wasn't rewarded though. They laid me off.

I hope you at least got a severance package!


My dog pooped in my wig today. I was so mad!

Oh no! How are you going to clean it out?

I have no idea! The worst part is that I found out when I was trying to take it off...that thing wouldn't budge! No wonder my co-workers were giving me disgusted looks.


My birthday was yesterday. Everybody seems to have forgotten about it though. I didn't get a single happy birthday from anyone family or friends. I thought it was really depressing.

am sorry about that, you could have reminded them perharps

I guess that was an option. I just figured they'd remember at some point.

yah, next time remind them earlier so you dont feel disturbed


You just had a baby?! I didn't even know you were expecting!

I'm so happy for you! Have you decided on a name yet?


I don't know, I quit half way through my first yard.  The smell alone was enough to make me gag.


Today I was looking through my childhood photos and writings, it made me a little emotional and nostalgic.

Did you have a good childhood? You must miss a lot of things.

I think I had a good childhood. I love that I have many photos that I ca look back on.

Yes. Nostalgia is unavoidable when we look back on our youth.


I am here at home alone while all my friends are out at the lake today.  :(

No, I ended up getting sick last night from something I ate I think.

Oh no! I hate when that happens. Are you feeling any better?


A friend of mine recently had their bathroom remodeled, and it made me feel like mine looks terrible by comparison.

That's reasonable considering how new stuff always looks great and how more fancy stuff may be available and cheap compared to when you made yours.

Yeah, I just moved into my place last year, and the bathroom is quite outdated. After seeing his though, remodeling it has moved way up my list of things to get done.

That's good, it sounds like his bathroom motivated you to take yours to the next level. That's probably good for society.


I was walking into a meeting at work and fell flat on my face.


My nephew is playing 9th grade football this year.

Sorry :(  I think he is going to do great though!

I'm sure he will do great things for you.


I so get how you feel because I decided to watch Insidious the other night on my own.  I scared the life out of myself afterwards because I thought I kept seeing shadows and hearing noises and had myself convinced someone or something was in the house with me!

That's crazy! I'm glad there was nothing there.

Oh no just my vivid imagination lol.  I do love a good horror but usually I watch them with my husband.  I am clearly not as brave on my own!!

Some horror movies are so great that they make you consider your own environment.


My family has shunned me for terrible choices I made in the past. I have no one.


I'm really looking forward to going back to college.

I'm studying computer engineering but the main thing that I'm looking forward to is having my own room!

Ahh - when you are home do you have to share?


so much going on, all these feelings are making me anxious and scared

too much work stress, people asking for so much from me, i am just one person


Are you serious? I wish I could do that. Was he apart of a show

Yes, he does it as a talent at various shows.

Thats awesome- I wish I could do that like that impressive.


I walked into my living room to see my father getting very friendly with our neighbor!

I think they were just kissing though, not so bad!

Still though, that's some crazy stuff to be walking in on though!


Hi, I have a big business presentation tomorrow!


I got a raise today. I've pushed my self hard this last year and I deserve it.

That is awesome. Congratulations. Im sure you earned every penny.

Thanks it's been a rough year. My hours were cut but I was expected to keep up the same work load. Thanks again!

Good things happen to people who put in the effort. It sounds well deserved.


I return to work in September to a new role. I'm excited but anxious.

congratulations! that is exciting. How long have you been waiting for this.

I got the new role in June, so not too long. It's within my organization.

Thanks! I'm sure I'll love it. What do you do?


One night, after drinking with my brother, we decided to walk to a gas station to get some more cigarettes.

Oh no, I hope that you guys were sober enough to make it there safely!

We were, but it was a pretty sketchy area, so I was scared the whole time.

Wow, I am really glad that you two made it back safely.


my friend won a lot of money the other day which was cool for him

Does he play the scratcher tickets a lot?


I guarantee you have never heard a thing more vile. My best friend's husband cheated on her with his sister in law!

That is awful. I hope she has friends and family she can lean on during this tough time.

She does but I imagine it's going to be very hard for her.

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.  I feel so bad for her.


Ouch, seeing that news probably knocked your mood down hard.

Yea, it definitely did. It's a lot of money.

Yeah that is like half a year of rent for me. I would be livid.


The first time my girlfriend invited me to her father's house, I was super anxious.

Yeah that can be nerve racking! How did it go?

He mostly speaks French, and although I understand it perfectly I have trouble speaking. In the end it went well, and he was super easy-going and made me feel like family.


My classmates at university are so gossip-y. They get so catty with one another, and spread rumors behind each other's backs. We're in a small major, so everyone knows everyone in this group of 50 students, and a lot of them dislike each other for no good reason

I get that, I have had jobs like that, some people just thrive on drama, they do not enjoy anything more than that

It seems like it, right? The things they chirp and fight about seem so pointless. Must be because they're bored, I dunno. I just stay out of it.

I understand that, that is a great move by you, do not get sucked in


We had a birthday party for my son the other day!

He's 6. It was so much fun to watch him open his presents.

I love that age!  My niece just turned six and she seems so grown up!


I was in an antique store and found a really old coin for cheap. It was real and its very valuable. I'm so happy!

Yeah I don't think I will sell it though. It's got a good backstory.


My dog has been acting flaky recently. I am worried he might be having some health problems.

Oh no :( did you take him to the vet? what kind of dog is it?

I will take him tomorrow. I hope it is nothing serious. I have a Great Dane.

Those are such smart dogs! I hope it's nothing


Spent an hour making this pizza. Now waiting for it to bake

Boy, what I would do for a slice o that right now. What kind of pizza is it?

I put a lot of spices in the dough and cheese in the crust. I put about 9 different toppings on it.

Dang, I bet that'll be better than that racist Papa John's pizza!


Lately, my wife is little bit depressed. So I bought her a gift to show her how important she is to me.

That is very kind of you. You sound like a good husband.

Thanks. She was very happy. It helped her.


The sun is shining here - it's going to be a good day

It sounds like you are very content. That's great!


Oh no! Are you thinking about buying another one?

Unfortunatly, yes. But that one had a lot of meaning to me as it was my father's. It hurts to not have it anymore

The meaningfulness is definitely something you can never replace. I hope that it shows up, and if not, I hope this watch brings meaning to your life in new ways.


Yikes, how much will it cost to replace?

I'm not sure. Hopefully not too much.  I think I can just fix the screen.

That would be best, they can get expensive to fix


Got asked to my boss' office. Thought I was getting bad news but turns out I was offered a promotion.


I was eating a hot dog at school. I started laughing and almost choked in from of the entire school.

I lad you was ok did anyone help you or was you embarrassed?

No one helped me, they just all laughed. Luckily, I was ok.

Now that was mean and cruel nothing funny about that best outcome is you are fine be careful next time.


My boyfriend has been talking to lots of girls lately.

Girls that he works with. I'm starting to get very irritated about it.

Maybe even a little jealous?  I don't blame you.


i  knew it shouldnt have trusted by brother with my dog


The phone company almost charged my wife 500 dollars for a broken phone she had to return.

Wow! Ask for a refund or some extra stuff!

They fortunately worked it out and there was no charge, but the worst part was that she tasked me with returning it on time and I totally didn't. I really screwed up.


My wife is out of the country for school, and the other day she was having a really bad day.  I couldn't really do anything to help, and it made me feel bad.

I'm so sorry.  I know you must've felt helpless but coming from a wife's perspective; I would know my husband couldn't be right next to me but his words and love make all the difference.

Thanks, that's actually really helpful.  It's been tough being apart for so long, we haven't been apart more than a couple days since we started dating.

I totally feel you.  My husband as gone for work so much for a couple years.  It will just be a season of life and then you'll be back together!  Communicating even more than ever and encouraging each other can help so much.  You're doing great!  I hope you're together soon!


I had always thought I could have faith in my mom to help me out when things when tough but I was wrong.

I just needed assistance to get out of the bad situation I was in and she basically told me I was on my own after telling me for years If I ever wanted to get out, she'd help me.

Wow, that stinks. Hopefully she will be there for you next time if you ever need help again.


My husband asked me to put on a blindfold the other night and he led me outside! I was so scared at first

I bet that was scary. Did he surprise you with something?

He did! He had set up a dinner table in a clearing in our yard right when the sun was setting. Dinner was ready and waiting and warm too!

Ahhh. How nice. You are lucky to have such a thoughtful husband.


I thought the job was mine. I even went and bought new clothes.

Why do you think you didn't get the job?

I'm not sure- the only thing I could think of was that its in a very low income urban setting and I've never worked in that type of setting before.

Maybe you should try and get experience in those areas to help you in the future then?


I accidentally told my best friend's secret to a mutual friend

You must feel awful about it!  What are you going to do?  Are you telling your friend?

I do! It just sort of...slipped out. I feel obligated to tell my friend I did it because it would be even worse if it came back to bite me later

Yes I believe it is better.  I hope your friend understand.


A sales position right downtown. omg i cant wait to start

That's great! I really hope you do get it, you sound very excited.


There's a job opening at the law firm that I've always wanted to work at.

Thanks. I applied and will keep my fingers crossed!


On a similar theme. I have a friend who got on really well on an blind date

Yeah - I'd be too scared to meet a stranger from online.

It seems like everything worked out for him.


I cannot wait till next month. College football starts

Oh nice! My husband is a University of Arkansa Alumnai! We support the razorback football team.


i broke my expensive favorite pair of glasses. im blind without them

i am livid...i have contact lenses. but i love my glasses


My husband had to go out of town for work, I already miss him!

4 days... I just don't like being home alone at night

Maybe you could invite some of your friends over to ease your mind a bit.


We sent off our brazilian foreign exchange student last year.  In line at the airport she gave me her necklace to keep.


I just had a baby last month. My husband and I were planning to spend the first few weeks alone just settling in but our grandmother from out of state surprised us at the hospital planning to stay with us to help out.

Congratulation for the baby. Is a good or bad suprise that our grandmother is coming?

It was a good thing ultimately but a bit of a stressful surprise because we had not prepared to have guests. It was still really nice of her and she did help make us some yummy food and help me get rest.

I understand. It is always good to have someone that you can count on.


ugh, I have a cavity and I do not want to go to the dentist

Oh no, is it painful and disrupting you in anyway?

its painful but the thought of it being pulled kind of freaks me out plus the cost of it.

Yeah, I know what you mean it does sound very scary, but they do numb your face and usually they do not pull it out, they fill in the cavity!


Just bought some luggage bags.  Getting ready!

I just got done traveling myself! There's no better feeling than the anticipating of traveling. I love airports, especially, because of all the people-watching and the general atmosphere. I hope your trip goes smoothly!

Hey thanks!  I've never flown before.  We're driving down to Florida in a couple weeks.  Should be about a 9 hour drive!

Oh, gotcha. My mix-up. Driving and road trips can still be just as fun. Kinda stinks if you're the only one driving, but at least you can come up with games to play. Plus.. it's cheaper. that's always nice.


I sed to cut classes a lot in junior high

Im scared my daughter will now that she is starting jnior high


I walked into a job interview unprepared, I was actually given the job days later which was a blessing

Nice.  I've never had luck with being unprepared for things, I always choke.

The key might be to fake it until you make it


Back when I was in college, I crossed a street in wrong place and got a ticket.

I hate to hear that. I hate tickets. There are so many other things I would rather spend my money on.

Exactly, especially when you get one for just walking.

Yeah, that is such a silly thing to get a ticket for.


My son was extremely sick but I had to be at work that day so I had to leave him with my mother in law

That sounds awful. I hope he is better now!

Much better, and I knew she would take good care of him

It's wonderful you had someone like your mother to help!


So what happens in the middle of the night? I got woken, again, by my upstairs neighbor thumping around. Does she have to be so rude?!

that is so annoying, some people just dont have morals

No, they don't. Well, this time I've had enough. I've told management I want into another apartment and explained exactly why!


He was sitting on a perch looking hungry. He asked for money but I didnt have any so I gave his a slice of pizza and he cursed me out.

That is terrible. Probably, he wanted money to buy drugs.

His teeth were missing so maybe he couldnt eat the pzza

It could be a good explanation but he shouldn't have cursed.


I took a flight last week and there was awful turbulence.

Turbulence always scares me lol. In reality the plane is very safe though.

It was super scary for me. I'm generally afraid of planes, even though I know they are the safest form of travel.

How often do you fly? The more you do it the easier it gets.

I fly a few times per year. I live in Florida, but I grew up in Indiana and my family and friends still live there, so I have to fly to visit them.

Cool I lived in Palm Beach County for 2 years. I fly to the Philippines every few years and it takes over 12 hours!


I'm so hungry and my husband is taking long bringing me food

Yes I probably will since it's taking so long


Nope applied to my dream school actually.

Oh how cool!  Well good luck my friend!!! What do you want to study?


Someone stole money from my account and my bank won't help me, I can't believe this!

same thing happened to me.. i believe it

It's ridiculous! You think they would be a little more helpful when money is on the line!

they dont care about you unless you got tons of money in their back


I'm happy with my new diet, I don't feel hungry and have cravings like I usually do

That's great!  I've had trouble with changing my diet before.  What kind are you doing?

the ketogenic diet, I feel a lot more energetic now that I've cut carbs out. It's like my body was slowed down from processing all the sugars

I've heard that about keto.  I might just try it sometime!


I asked my mother where she left my drawing, she said she threw it out.

You said that already, how long did it take you to draw this picture?


Were you expecting it, or was it a surpise? What as in it?


Things have been rough for me lately, but thankfully I've got family and a fiance that are helping me through it.

I'm in a lot of debt thanks to my car needing expensive repairs, and haven't been able to afford it. It's pretty depressing not being able to pay your bills :/

I am so sorry. I hope you get all the help you need.


I am sure you will as well. Confidence is great!


I failed my final exam for math last semester. I all set to graduate but now I have to repeat it. Its horrible.

That is terrible, i am sorry! hopefully youll be able to get it taken care of this time.

I just feel so bad for not passing. It has really set me back.


I am so excited. I got exactly what I wanted,


Great! What kind of stuff will you be doing?


I used to rush home from school to catsh a soap opera

Was that in the United States or somewhere else? I used to love All My Children and General Hospital.

It was in the US it had a bunch of young people on it. We would all talk about it at school the next day.

Sounds like fun! I wonder if you could find old episodes online now.

Probably. A lot of the actors have gone on to be in big movies


Speaking of co-workers, one of my colleagues just found the cure for type 2 diabetes, and I honestly couldn't be more annoyed about it.

Wait, why would you be annoyed by that? That's amazing!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Amazing and all, but it was supposed to be MY discovery. I wanted that Nobel Prize and the trip to Stockholm. Now I don't think my dad will ever think I've accomplished anything.

I think you need to look at the bigger picture, though. Someone cured a disease that has caused so much suffering for so many people. Though I suppose to can be both excited for the discovery and jealous at the same time. The two aren't mutually exclusive.


I'm sorry to hear that. What were you worried about?

My mom came home late. I prayed until she came!


I couldn't go to dinner with my friends on time. So I ended up having dinner by myself.

Oh, I am sorry to hear that, maybe next time!

That's ok. Yea, I hope next time as well!

Yeah, you gotta look on the bright side sometimes


That's terrible. Did you guys clear that out?

Yeah, but I didn't believe them. he loves me more than anyone in this world.

People must have no lives to want to spread rumors like that.


The cheesy gordita crunch, I was satisfied with my order.


Yesterday I was unloading the dishwasher and I guess not paying enough attention and dropped one of my good mixing bowls that busted all over the floor. It took so long to clean up. I was so mad at myself.

Oh no! I am so sorry!! I hate when something liek that happens. No one was injured?

Oh no just my attitude. And my poor bowl.

Well, I am glad no one was injured!!! Its a shame to lose great kitchenware though!! I hope you will be able to find a suitable replacement!


I once was taking a big trip I had been looking forward to and the day before we leave for an international flight a high level travel advisory was issued for the area we were going.

Ugh! I hate it when stuff like that happens. Were you able to get a refund on your tickets?

No. We went ahead and went on. It actually turned out to be a great trip with zero incidents.


I was at dinner the other night and spilled my drink all over myself.

That's no good! Did it stain your clothes?

no, it was a clear drink. But get this: I did it AGAIN after they brought me a new one!!

Oh wow, it sounds like you were just really unlucky that night.


Tired of people going 50-60 down my side street.

15...As in any city. There are kids and animals here and the police never do anything about these wreckless drivers.

There's a lot of selfish people in the world, and a lot of impatient ones too. It's extremely frustrating.


Its always better to rely on ourselves. Im happy for you!

I had to transition into it after a break up, but I am holding my own and in school too.

Honestly, its during our worst times we realize our true strength. Good for you.


When my son was 14, he got a black belt in Karate. He had to work hard for that.

Wow. You must be proud of him. Congratulations

Yes, it has been some years not, but I really was. He was in Karate for 8 years at that time.

I see. It was many years of work. I guess his classmates were afraid o him, not everybody is black belt so young.


I have a job interview next week. I've been doing lots of research.

Job interviews always make me nervous. Research is a great idea!

It definitely can't hurt. Good luck on the interview!


We have some very bad storms headed our way this evening, possible tornadoes too.

Please be prepared ahead of time. I know that situation can be scary so it's best to be ready.

I have cleared a safe spot in the basement and also taken down a tote full of food, water, and other emergency supplies.


My best friend recently organized a trip to New York for both of us all by himself. This was really out of character for him because he's usually not organized at all!

Yes it was really an amazing experience!


my friend got a new job recently , a 2nd job if i may add and im really happy for him

Oh wow, that's great! Only bad thing is he will be very busy with two jobs.

yes he will be busy , but his life will also be better , im just over all really happy for him


Literally anytime I order something online and I get the tracking I immediately start checking it. I am so impatient waiting on stuff to come.

Yes I know I am like that too, I can't wait for my new stuff to arrive, I feel like a child on Christmas waiting for Santa's gifts.

Yes. Every single time. I know better. But I just cant help myself but to check over and over

I guess it is kind of fun anticipating the arrival of the packages.


My friend returned my shoes today. I was so thankful.

I've never had a friend return stuff for me, that sounds like a super caring friend

He was indeed. I shouldn't have gotten so hammered last night and lost them.

OH! I thought you mean he returned them to a store, like a bad purchase. Oh man you were drunk! Thats pretty bad lol- But nice friend still


i really miss my family. we are 800 miles away from each other.

Did you make any plans to go and visit them?

i try to go once a year but money is tight right now.

Maybe you will be able to make some extra money!


I couldn't believe when I found out my sister in law was pregnant

I love being an aunt! I get to spoil other people's kids!


I can't wait for the movie Venom to come out! It's going to be awesome.


My brother recently told me that once, when we were kids, he spit in my orange juice and let me drink it.

lol that's terrible. Did he do stuff like that a lot back then?

He kept that a secret for like 15 years so who knows what I'll find out next lol


I was playing with my toddler and there was this HUGE spider on his play tent. This spider was seriously so big.

ohh! that is frighting. Didn't you scare?

I was so scared, like crap I cant let this giant thing stay loose, one of my cats or dogs or my kid may eat it or something. But I didnt want to get near it either!

Yeah! I am glad he didn't bite you or something!


It was on christmas no less, tragic really.


I didn't put my blinker on and got a ticket for it.

aww man. Thats a silly reason to get pulled over. Did you try to talk to the police officer about it?

You might have better luck when you go to court about it. The judge should be understanding. Its a common mistake


I've owned 3 birds in the past 10 years and my 3rd bird just died last night. I didn't realize how much it would crush me. They were my buddies.

There's absolutely nothing I can say to make you feel better about that. I'm sorry for your great losses. Just from those few sentences alone, I can tell you were very passionate about them. What were their names, if you don't mind me asking?

Thank you.  That's so sweet of you to say.  They were parakeets named Snowball, Curacoa, and Panda.  I think the best thing for me to do is get another one soon to continue to enjoy their sweet personalities.

Those are great names! And that does sound like a good idea, as long as you're comfortable with it. It's such a tenuous situation.. to want another pet to fill the void, but to be scared that you will be disappointed when they don't live up to their predecessors. My girlfriend will be in the same situation when her dog passes. She's already getting nervous since her dog is 10-years-old.


A little random but when I was a kid I wanted the new Hulk movie that came out. I went to the store and I picked out the DVD and begged my mom to buy it. She did and I went home to play it on the TV. Turns out I bought the old 1980's version and I was so disappointed!

Hell no! It was terrible and I was so embarrassed at picking the old version instead of the new one.


Last month I had to give a speech in front of a lot of people. I was nervous when I first found out.

Oh I'm so socially awkward and anxious I'd never be able to give a speech. How did it turn out?

I practiced over and over again until the day of the speech. It ended up going really well!

I'm so happy to hear that! Practice does make perfect.


Payday is always my favorite day of the week! Do you plan to buy anything special?

Haha, I love getting chocolate wasted. I like dark chocolate the best.


I was feeling really sick earlier today. I thought I was going to die.

Oh, no! I hope you are feeling better! Did you go to the doctor to see why?

I didn't need to! My girlfriend made me soup and took care of me all day. She's so sweet.

That was very sweet and thoughtful too. Glad you're better!


It was so life-like and I have such fond memories of playing in there.  My stepdad worked for pillsbury and brought home dough and I would pretend I was baking.

Good for you to have such memorable experience to have and remember of. Can you bake now for real?

Yes somewhat, although with all that practice in childhood I should be much better.   I miss my stepdad so much.   I have nothing but fond memories of him.


A few weeks ago I got in my first real car accident.

I am sorry to hear that.  You weren't hurt were you?

I'm mostly okay. Just a little whiplash. I've never been in more than a fender bender before, so it was not a fun experience.


i made it to work early and was able to get ready before people started coming in

That is always a wonderful feeling to be prepared and ready to go.  Are you a morning person?

not really but at work i like to have time before everyone gets in there

I can understand that.  Such a great idea before the chaos of it all.  Its important to do things like that your ourselves!


I was ashamed when I broke my moms vase.

It was one her mother gave her, I was playing beyblades and I broke it.

Looks like it was just an accident. It happens and you shouldn't blame yourself for it.


I was so scared to attend my 5 year class reunion

Everyone feels that way when comparing themselves at those things. Except the pompous ones from school, those guys suck haha.


I can't wait. im going to Europe here soon!

You are going to have such a great time and make memories you will cherish the rest of your life

Aw thank you! Yea i am not really fniancially stable so this is a big thing for me.

You enjoy it a lot of people never travel so be thankful for the experience and soak up everything like a sponge

I would agree that you do, enjoy your trip!


I am not sure how to address to my husband about how I feel about him getting a phone number from another girl.

I would be downright furious. Start by smacking him across the face randomly at dinner. That should be a good segway into the conversation.

That is how I feel. I don't think he understands how it makes me feel inside.

Oh, he certainly will when he feels the hot, guilty tears running down his face from that strong, independent, jealous filled slap!


I'm about to move this weekend to a new city. I have everything packed and ready to go and have already cleaned the new house.

Well that's exciting! A fresh start is always fun. What inspired you to make such a big change?

I got a new job and have always wanted to move away from my hometown because its not that big.  I can't wait

Awesome, you'll be able to make friends at work. I wish you the best in your new city, congrats!


He called in sick, but spent the day at the waterpark with his kids. I didn't realize he'd called in sick, I thought he was just out. So, I accidentally told my boss where he was.

He should have been honest from the start. It's on him not you.

Thanks, that's a good point. Or at least let me know he's going to lie so I can cover for him!

Do you think your boss will tell him it's you that told on him?


My mother got very sick and there was no one else to take care of her.

That is terrible. Are you going to take of her?

Yeah, I'm going to have to. I live 1400 miles away though so I'll have to fly up every weekend.

Why not asking her to move to your home?


My wife and I decided to get a divorce. I feel absolutely defeated and distraught because of it.

im sorry to hear that. no chance of working it out?

No.  What's done is done.  There is nothing I can do.  It's over unfortunately.


Well. I painted and I didn't know it was against the rules. Maybe I can paint it the original color and stay.

I am sure they will work with you.  Don't stress out.


Last week was so hectic. On Monday my daughter forgot her project and I had to bring it to her at school.

I hear you! Life is SO busy, never enough hours in the day!

To top it off, when I got to the school my daughter pointed out that I still had my pajamas on! It was so hectic that I forgot to get dressed!

Oh lol! It's ok, you are a mom and it's the hardest job EVER and very thankless. You are doing good


I was working on this project for 6 years and the deadline was coming up. I knew we should have asked for 7 years of funding but my boss said 6 would be enough.

What happened? Did you finish the project?

Not in time. The deadline came and I still needed about 3-6 more months. My boss said we should ask for an extension, but I knew those were rarely given.

Wow, that sucks. Sounds like it's your bosses fault. Did he take the blame?

He took part of it when he wrote a great letter backing the extension. But I was worried and felt like I should probably start looking for another job just in case.

Well good luck with your future projects or your future job.


I am waiting intensely for a call back for a new job! I figure I have it!

Oh that is awesome! Im sure you do! Waiting for that can really feel like forever when its only been a few minutes!

Yeah, it is definitely building up!  I can't wait!

Its good that you are excited! Im sure you will be a great asset for them!


I keep hearing noises out my window and I'm home alone. It's very concerning.

Should you call the police or something?  I hate being home alone for this exact reason.

I don't know, it's just scratching so maybe it's just a raccoon.

Or a cat maybe?  Maybe you should look into installing those motion flood lights or something so that you feel safer when you are home alone.


When my kids were young we used to make up our own games and have a lot of fun. They are all grown up now.

That sounds like a nice memory, but we all grow old. Do you still spend time with them sometimes?

I do see them every now and then but I really miss those days. It was such a good time.

Yeah I agree. I have a little one myself, and I kind of with they stay that young forever.


My husband is installing a wood boiler for our home to heat our house this Winter. I'm so impressed with him because he's doing it all on his own.

That is impressive.  Is he normally pretty handy?

Very! He surprises me every day with the amount of knowledge he has. He can fix anything!

Thats so awesome! I want to get to that point some day.


I'm pretty upset I got a flat on the way to work today.

oh no! that is horrible and those things always seem to happen when on your way to work or somewhere important

Right? I was late and I'm down 200 dollars, but at least I still have my job.


Someone took my car stereo from my truck.


I found my cat dead in the middle of the street. She was run over by a car.

ooh, sorry to hear that, was it by itself?

Yes. I had to pick up her carcass and bury her. It was heartbreaking.

sorry. Probably the driver did not see her


I am happy with my life right now, everything is going okay for the most part

That's great, we all deserve to feel peace and happiness with how our lives are going.


I walked in on my friend coming out of the shower.

Lol i hate moments like this! I would never be able to talk to that friend again lol


All the guys hitting on her,  only good thing is free drinks for her.  lol

i guess we all learn from our mistakes never take her there again


I was late to work today because my doctor did not see me until well after an hour after my scheduled appointment time.

That happen to me frequently. Did your manager said anything because you are late?

No I did not.  I will just find a new doctor.


My daughter's daycare teacher just called me and told me how she's been so sweet to the new boy in her class who was very nervous on his first day. I couldn't feel more joy.

That's awesome.  Good parenting pays off.

It does but she also has a sweet and kind nature about her.

always a plus.  That makes things easier


I went skydiving a few years ago. It was a rush!

skydiving is insane to me, how did it go? what reminded you of it?

It went really well! I really want to do it again. I went tandem with the instructor and really had to have faith he knew what he was doing!

it's always good to have a professional help with this kind of things, glad you had fun!


I logged in too facebook, I do not very often and felt a bit sad that I don't talk to anyone anymore.

It is good to maintain that contact with people

Yes but I am just not the same peron anymore. I just don't feel like having people around. I had my time of friends and fun and I just prefer to be alone now.

That is ok sometimes but getting out is important for you too


I recently moved to a new city. I left behind some good friends.

you can always make new friends, and talk to your old friends at the same time!

That's very true. It'll just take some time.

yeah but you never know , you may make life changing friendships so be patient!


Seinor year. I am graduating a 35 year old single mom

Congratulations on that. You truly did it. Age is just a number. I hope you have your whole life ahead of you yet

it is almost over. Senior year is the final one and it will pass quickly. Been there, done that


A friend at work recently got a raise.  That's the 2nd one in the last year for him!

Word, you should ask him what the secret is


Some jerks egged my house whilst I was on vacation.

Probably just some bored teens. Still, what a mess to clean up!

Exactly, I am absolutely furious. I hope I catch them if they do it again.

Sounds like you are going to have a stake out. Good luck!


Upset with my neighbor who used to like animals..and IDK if he is on drugs or has a mental illness but he acted like he was going to hit the dog

The cops don't do anything here. They don't even come for gun shots half the night...It's the wild west here. I ran over and got her and he ran in his house like the loser he is.


I went into that test last week knowing i was going to ace it!

Wow, you must have been pretty confident then.

I hope you did your best and got the grade you wanted.


It was a 5 million dollar research project


I believed my father wouldn't let me down.

That is good to feel that way. You don't want to feel like someone close to you would let you down. Did it work out for you?

Oh I am sorry. That is sad. Remember that it is not your fault. I would think of the people who have been there for you.


I went to a theme park recently and got on this roller coaster

Not really. :( It didn't seem very safe.. it was a really old rickety, wooden one that looked like it was about to fall apart.

Oh no! That sounds scary. Some of the rollercoasters can be very well built while others are very sketchy


Hi.  So I recently found out I was selected to go to a cool work conference out of town.  Only 2 other people in the whole company was invited to go on the work trip!

That sounds like a good opportunity for you!

It really is.  I was very honored when I found out about it!

That is great.  It will probably be good to get out of town for a bit too.


I'm not that athletic, I was so shocked!


was very sad to hear of my friends passing

I'm sorry for your loss. That sa to hear.

It must be really tough. It will get better.


My girlfriend spent a few days in the woods with no cellular service with her parents.

I bet. I'm not great at being away from my boyfriend.


I remember the first I got pooped on while changing my kids diapers.

It must have been an overwhelming experience, how old are the kids now?

They are 14 and 12.  It was pretty gross, but you have to deal with a lot of gross things when they are babies and just remember that you can take a shower to wash it off.  Luckily they have cute little faces to help you forget about the gross things.

Sweet, we all miss those memories of them growing back. Mine are adults now


I forgot that I had a math exam yesterday and didnt study. I ended up making an A on it. I couldnt believe it.

I just had to laugh because I so thought I was gonna bomb it.


I'm thinking I might have to find a different line of work. I'm a truck driver, and have been for a long time, but it's really difficult to do long trips now that I'm married.

I can't imagine! I have a hard time sitting for long hours too. What are you looking in too?

That's the tricky part, I don't really know. I don't have a good college education or anything and truck driving pays well, it's just not healthy for my current lifestyle. My cousin does heating and cooling and offered to help me there, so I think I'll take him up on that.

Thats a job that is needed for sure. You could also try and get a degree in programming- it usually only takes a year? So many things you can do. Also look into selling online. It's a great business if you stay on top of it daily :)


I am excited for baseball playoffs. Are you?

I watch it sometimes, It can be a little slow moving for my taste.

Are you from New York area. I'm a little farther south, but I do like them for sure.


I was driving the other day on a lane highway and a truck was tailgating me, flashing lights, and honking. I was already going 10 over the speed limit and it's not like I could get over.

I hate aggressive drivers. They cause the majority of the accidents.

Me too. It made me really angry I slowed down on purpose and after about 10minutes he was able to pass me. He must have been in a real hurry.

He probably had no where to go important. He was just being rude.


Can you believe that my child learned how to tap dance at the age of 4? He is now a professional tap dancer! :)

That is so incredible!!! Does he make a lot of money doing it?

Yes he does! He is one of the best tap dancers in the world!


I wish I could of said goodbye before my friend died.

Aw man, that has to be rough. Were you guys really close?

That's even more saddening. Did you get to say somewhat of a goodbye to him at their funeral?


My son wouldnt sleep last night.  He kept yelling and wouldnt go into his room.

Oh no! I hate when that happens. Was he afraid or just didn't want to sleep?

He just didnt want to sleep. I think he was overtired and trying to fight it at that point.

Ugh, that's the worst. That happens a lot with my son as well. Hopefully he wasn't too cranky today!


I got lucky and passed my course this semester

Computer Science. There was a 3 point curve on the final that really helped me out this time.

Curves are always a good thing! I was always thankful for them.


My little sister has been going all across the country this summer, spending lots of time on money on pop concert after pop concert.

Interesting. How do you feel about it? Do you find it fun and interesting, or wish she were more responsible with her money?

Mostly I'm a bit frustrated that she's got so much money to blow on these concerts! And to travel all across the country!

Yeah, I can understand that. Sometimes when you're not in a position to enjoy yourself because you're busy being tied down with responsibilities, it's easy to get mad at others. Whatever you can do to spin it positively, I would suggest that. Being negative about it will only make everyone's lives worse.


I plan to play to five places every day for a month.

Yes dont give upQ! I bet you'll find something good


I am so mad I have to go back to school.

I understand that completely, I still have a bit of time to wait

I get that, sometimes it is not in the cards though


I really do not want to go visit my Dad.

No, he just makes me do a ton of yard work when I visit.

That is terrible, Yard work is mild torture.


I was coming home from work and there was a lizard by my door. It moved and that was all she wrote. I am scared to death of crawling creatures.

Oh my god! I have the heebiejeebies just thinking about it! Did it attack you?!?!

I wouldn't be talking to you if it had. I would still be laying flat out.

I am glad to hear you are alright. But I would still be on the look out for next time...they are the relatives of godzilla after all.


The people that bring more cabin luggage than expected in the airplane are making me angry.

That shouldn't be allowed in the first place.

Yes, it shouldn't. They break stuff in our luggage by forcing to put their luggage. I got a laptop broken because of this once.

Oh my. I would be angry if that happened too.


That is funny. Dogs can be careless. You should take better care of it

Well, it won't be an issue anymore. I put it up for adoption. This was the last straw!

You seem to be very fed up with him. How long have you had him?


I found an old RC car I had when I was a kid in the closet.

The batteries are long dead. I'll have to get a new battery if I want to test it out.

Nice. I love finding old stuff from my childhood.


You ever stub your toe after getting out of the shower?

OH yeah! It's so painful. Did you do that today?

yeah!  Ruined my whole day!  It's like the rest of the day is off kilter because of it!

I hope so.  It doesn't even hurt anymore and it's still getting on my nerves LOL

They call that Post traumatic Stress Disorder

I'm sure it is lol.  Maybe I just need to take a nap.


My son is going to college in a couple of days and I'm sure the house will be a lot quieter without him.. I think the empty nest feeling is inevitable

That is sad. Do you have other children?

No, just one. Always wanted to have more but it just wasn't meant to be

I understand. Anyway, he will keep visiting.


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

8 years. That a long time, but we just weren't getting along. I miss hime now

Well, maybe it's for the best if you can move on.


This upcoming semester will be my first time taking 5 classes at once. I'm pretty worried that I may have taken on too much.

Yeah that sounds hectic. You think you can do it?

I'm not sure. The more I think about it, the more I doubt myself. I also have a baby, so I'm hoping I'll be able to juggle everything at once.

Yeah sounds like a handful! Maybe you should weigh your options and do whats best for you adn your family.


I have quite a long drive ahead of me next month. It's about 1/12 hours, but I've don it before so I'll be fine.

I don't know how you do it. I can't stand long drives.

I put music on and open the window. Otherwise I'll disappear into my own little world, and that's not a good thing to do when you're driving!

Definitely not! Music is a great idea though; I listen to music on all bus rides and car rides.


Just a couple more days and they are outta here

You sound like me a few weeks ago with my relatives, since they have a bunch of kids under the age of 10. Sorry to hear you're going through the same stress.

I love them but my ears need a break lol

Yeah, even if they're not being annoying or bad... just so many people at once and all that activity.. too much. Love to see them come, and love it even more to watch them go.


I have total trust in my wife. We are good couple.

That's great, trust is the backbone of all lasting relationships.

It is always good to have someone that will help you in time of needs.

Of course, we're not meant to lock ourselves away alone for our entire lives.


Oh, that's awful. Were you okay, or did you have to go to the hospital?

I was okay, just shook up.  I could see the other car coming at me before the impact.

That sounds terrifying! I've never been in a car accident, and sure wouldn't like to be in one.


I had a good feeling work was going to be good today. I went to bed with that feeling last night

That is a nice way to wake up. Was it a good day?

It was a really good day, turned out well

That is really good. I am happy to hear that.


On mother's day my kids and I had a nice relaxing morning just cuddling in bed. My spouse made breakfast in bed and we all just hung out together. It made me feel so peaceful and happy.

That is great to hear. I can tell your family loves you a lot!

Oh thank you that's a nice thing to say!

It is nice we have days to celebrate mothers and fathers. They deserve the recognition for their hard work!


My ex roommate was so nasty. He refused to clean and only showered once a week

I refused to clean up after him. And I made sure I was there as little as possible. He smelled so bad,'

That must have been a terrible situation.


My daughter's dog was diagnosed with pancreatitis.

Unfortunately, it was the beginning of a downward spiral and she passed away.  I'm still struggling to get over it.


I might have to live on my own without wife and child. That is, if she plans to kick me out of the house eventually.

That sucks. I couldn't be without my kids. Maybe you should go to counseling.


Oh how exciting, by yourself or with a group?

Thats awesome, I have always wanted to do an experience by myself


I really hate when people let their kids run wild in public. I do believe kids should be kids but there is a time and place for it.

I agree completely it is an embarrassment to the parents you would think.

The worst is when they're screaming at them rather than just speaking to them calmly.

The frustration they go through well at least we don't have to take the kids or parents home.


Exciting!  How are you settling in?  It might take a while but you'll start making friends and setting up a community around you.

I have no one around me anymore so its left me a bit depressed

I can understand that.  It is usually very isolating to move, especially if its away from family and friends.  I did that as well and found I had to consistently get out and try to meet people.  It wasn't always a success but after about 2 months, I started to have things to do.  Keep your chin up and go explore your new city!


It is my 15 year anniversary coming up.  I am a lucky man!

She has been extremely supportive throughout my career as well as mother.


When I was 15 my dog died. I'd had her since I was 4 years old. Practically my whole life at that point.

That is so sad. I know how it feels to lose a pet.

Yeah, I think I cried for a whole week. What kind of pet did you lose.

I lost a goldfish once. She was my best friend.


My best friend got the prettiest girl in the class. I wish I had his game. I am better looking but he gets the girl every time.

I am sure once you clean up your scruffy look you'll be able to land all the ladies.

I thought the mountain-man look was in this year. You think deodorant would help too?

Nah, you can forgo deodorant. The media just tells everyone it's necessary since it's a poorly known method of government mind control.


My sister and I lived close to each other then I moved an hour away.

I hear you! I was college roommates with my sister and now we live hours apart.

It's hard. We have kids that are the same age too. But we maker it work

That is so awesome to hear. Thanks to cars and everything an hour is nothing nowadays. Especially when you can put portable DVD players in there for the kids!


I cant wait to relocate and move again. I am so ready.

I've been in the same place. DC and then its neighbor, MD.


I finally go on vacation next week. I can't wait.

I have been waiting for a long time. I will have such a good time.

good for you, send me a post card, enjoy


My dog just gave me a bunch of kisses! I love her so much

Dogs really are such great companions, what breed is she?

She is a golden retriever. Do you have any pets?

Yes I have a miniature pinscher, he just turned 15.


yea after the finals, at least he didnt go to the GSW haha


Yesterday I did something at work that I am not too proud of. I went in my coworkers desk and took some supplies. Now, it is eating me up inside.

I bet you felt guilty about it afterwards. Just let them know you needed it really bad at the moment and maybe return it?

Yeah, it probably is best to just confess.  I don't know if I could deal with it otherwise.

Yes! You will feel so much better afterwards


I have been waiting on some health result tests. It was making me very nervous.

I hope they come back with the desired result.  Good luck

They came back okay but when i was waiting for it, it was pretty nerve wracking.

Nice do you mind sharing what it was...my mom had a cyst in her ovaries but it ended up being benign


The day my son was born was one of the best days of my life.

Congratulations! It must've been a very happy day for you and your family.

Thank you! It was a feeling like no other.

I could imagine. I one day hope to experience that feeling.


Two more days and the kids are outta here!

Mostly happy. They have annoyed me greatly all summer


I remember being younger and waiting on Christmas Day to unwrap presents.  There were a lot of things I wanted that year.

I remember those times. Did you get what you wanted?

Well I was really looking forward to the Super Nintendo.  It had just come out that year and everyone my age wanted one.

The super nintendo is a classic. What is your favorite game?


I am so thankful for my time with my grandma

We like to sit and talk about everything


ever feel so full of emotions when looking at old pictures?

for me it's when you get more than just nostalgia, when you get sad, happy and sentimental

Yeah same here.  I remember one time awhile back I took some pictures of when the aliens landed in my backyard.   That was some good times!


I had to fart in a meeting room and it ended up being really loud.... and there was a lul in the conversation so everyone heard it

Oh my gosh!  I would be mortified!  Did your face turn red?

Wow!  That had to be so embarrassing!  I would probably quit my job!


Oh nice, I worked at a pharmacy while I was in high school and I loved it. I thought about getting that certification. Is it hard?


He fell off the bed.  I have faith he will recover though.


You must have felt hopeful, where did you apply?


I recently went down memory lane was looked at all my high school yearbooks.

Oh yeah?  Do you still look awesome like you did back then?

Well.... maybe not as awesome. lol But I do try to keep in shape. It was good seeing all my old friends.

Yeah I bet.  Do you still keep in touch with any of them?

I do a lot of them but some have moved away and we just lost touch.

Yeah.  Maybe you should hit them up on FB for a reunion?

I bet you all would live it up and have a blast!


That's great that you have so much confidence.  What classes do you have?

Two criminology courses and basic college math. easy peasy.

Those easy semesters help when you know you've got some harder ones on the horizon.  Good Luck!


I am super aggravated at people that just can't let things be peaceful. Even if you disagree.

I know right? Why can't you just be nice and keep it calm and peaceful. No one wants any drama. Don't be a jerk is my motto- If you can't say nothing nice then keep it to yourself or keep it peaceful.

People let things get out of hand and it is so unecessary.


i am waiting for my sister to arrive into town.

Ooh, sounds nice, Always good to see the siblings.

yes, we are going to have so much fun, i feel like a kid again when shes in town

Hah, i hope you two have some fun. My sisters visited me a few weeks ago and we had some fun.


It's a beautiful day here today. The sun is shining. The birds are singing. The roads are quiet.


I spent hours shopping and getting everything I needed. I was finally done and went to the car and dropped my cookies all over the floor. I was so mad at myself!

That sounds frustrating. Did you drop anything else?

Thankfully no. And next time I went, I bought more cookies!

Well, that's good that it was just the cookies? It could have been much worse.


I finished college this summer and now I'm on to a new job in nursing I am nervous.

Congrats to you!  What kind of nurse are you looking to be?

I will be a RN I think I am over thinking the new role but I am self assured I will do great this is my passion.

I have no doubt that you will be a great RN!


I'm feeling very happy right now thinking of the past.

I found some old photographs and began to remember the old grade school days.


I stayed at a friends house for the weekend a while back, and when I got home my bedroom was destroyed

Oh no!! That is terrible, do you know what happened?

My younger brothers went in my room and messed with all my things. I am so angry about it

Oh no, I am sure they meant no harm, they always say that they are more curious when they are young.


One time my husband surprised me on our anniversary with a really pretty necklace and a trip to a Bed and Breakfast!

That's really nice of him! How long have you been married?

We have been married for 14 years.  Another reason it was so surprising was b/c he usually just takes me to dinner!

Well you made the right choice in man to marry lol. What kind of necklace?

It was one of those keys to your heart type.  Do you know what I mean?

That either sounds like a locket, or a heart shaped key. Am I close at all?

Yes the ones from Kay Jewelers that is a key with the heart at the top

Cool I think I saw a commercial for that actually.


I still remember when I used to wait tables back in college and dropped the plates when serving an important patron.

That must have been embarrassing, wasnt it?

It was. I was left red faced and got fired the week after.


I'm so sorry to hear that! Hopefully he or she wasn't in too much pain at the end.

no i don't think so, but it was violent.  she was run over by a car.

Oh my gosh that's horrible. I hope they caught the person who hit her!


My favorite band is doing their last tour. My husband bought me tickets to see their concert! He surprised me with them today!

That sounds like a great gift. That is going to be a great time.

It is! I'm really excited for it! It's tonight, so it was also a big surprise!

Wow. I am sure you will remember this for a long time. You are going to have to think of a great surprise for him now.


My grandmother passed away unexpectedly a few years ago.

oh no sorry to hear that. I just lost mine in November. It's hard.

Yes it is. She was the grandparent I was closest to.

People say it gets easier. I'm still waiting for that part.

Yes, I believe that time is the best way to heal.


I once woke up from sleeping to feel paralyzed,  like someone was standing on my chest.

oh ive heard of that before.. scary stuff

I started to see dark figuers and people fly toward me,  I tried to yell.  then I just blinked and everything was normal and I was awake.


I have my first test in my class on Monday. I have studied a lot and feel more than ready for it!

You sound confident. What subject is the class?

It is an accounting class!  That is my degree I am going for!


That is no good!  I guess it is time for you to go shopping!


I'm moving into a new apartment soon. I do hope that the neighbors are nice and quiet.

That's always both an exciting time and a nerve-wracking time. I'm in college and I had to move the past two years in a row. This year, I decided I kinda had enough and would just stay put, even though the apartment was just so-so. Do you like it well enough even if the neighbors may give you trouble?

Not really, but my current upstairs neighbors are awful and I feel it'd be worth moving just to get away from them!

Oh yeah, I know the type. Where they sound like they're having a parade at 3AM. Sorry you had to go through that. Luckily (or unluckily, if you want to see it that way) I have a loud window AC unit in my apartment, so even if they did make noise, I couldn't hear them over it!


I heard a buzzing in my apartment this morning. I swear to god, it was the biggest wasp I had ever seen in my life. I was so frightened!

Oh jeez!! Noooo... I hate them. They are evil and so mean. They literally come right at you for no reason.

Yes, I hate wasps. I can handle bees but wasps? Nope.

I cant handle any type of insect. I had a giant black one fly into my apartment today when I opened the door so I feel you.


I am so happy for my dad. He finally paid off his student debt loans after all these years. I can see a change in his demeanor and I feel so ecstatic for him!

I bet that is so relieving! It sucks how much debt you need to take on in order to go to school these days!

I know it really sucks. I am so proud of him getting through the tough times and he finally made it.

I hope he has a great career ahead of him!


i was scared to walk home alone yesterday

That sounds upseting. Why were you scared?

Oh man well wear silver. That can supposedly burn them and scare them away.


I got a free pizza from Domino's but felt bad about how it happened.

The pizza took forever to get delivered so I asked if it was free.  The delivery girl, who was brand new, didn't know so she just didn't charge me.


When I was younger, I had social anxiety. Speeches would give me terrible anxiety

Have you been able to get over your fear?

Slowly. Therapy and medication have helped a lot.

That is good to hear. You might consider joining some groups. Toastmasters might be a good one to look into.


I just recently took the LSAT and did well.  I hope to be starting law school in the spirng.

I hope you did well and congratulations on Law School!

Law is a pretty tough career. You must've worked hard, and I'm sure that will pay off.


I got angry when she refused. But I should've been more understanding

Yes, you only hurt yourself when you get angry.

I shouldn't have forced the issue and so I promised never to ask again

Give it some time, maybe she'll change her mind.


Goodness, I was working the concession stand at Emma's ball game. I bent over to grab a box of crackers and split my pants open!!!

Oh my gosh!!! That's pretty funny. Did anyone see what happened?

Well of course, there was a whole line of fans getting snacks.. I grabbed a coat and tied it around my waist.

Thankfully you had a sweater, but geez how embarrassing.


I was so happy to be back in Chicago on vacation. It's my hometown.

I love going back to my hometown. Its a good feeling being back. What are you most excited about?

Yes it is! I really enjoy the culture up there and the restaurants! I love chicago food like the italian beef!

I have never been. I would love to though. I hope you have a great time back at home.


I cant wait to take some time off of work. I have an awesome beach trip coming up next week.

Thats awesome.  Make sure you wear sunscreen.  Dont want to get burned

That would be the worst. I cant wait to just lay around all day drinking cold beers on the beach.

I need some time off of work too.  Maybe I should take a vacation!


Man the Patriots let me down last year...but gotta give the Eagles props they came ready

Ah a Patriots fan. Sorry about that, but they've been so great in the past, you should feel pride in that.

True. Brady's got too many haters cuz he's been gold since day 1

He really is a talented player, I must admit.


My husband was out of town for work recently, and it made me bummed out. I had no one to talk to or spend time with.

That sucks. Maybe you can find yourself a new hobby that will keep you occupied while he's gone?

I mostly just have been baking and reading, relaxing and just having some me time, but I just miss him haha.

That's understandable. I'd probably feel the same way in the same situation.


I think my kimchi will win the best kimchi award at the kimchi contest

Oh I hope it does! I bet you've got a super secret ingredient that makes it stand out from the rest of the rabble.

Yea I've been working on this recipe for years.

Then it will be appropriate if it pays off for you. If you win first prize, I'm gonna need you to start getting it put in grocery stores so I can buy some!


I really like every shelf in my house to be arranged just so.

I feel you! Do you have everything facing the right way?

I do, everything is in it's place. It thoroughly bothers me when someone puts random stuff on them, like cups or papers.

Oh well, it happens though, don't be too hard on people!


My bank has called me three times a day ever since I applied for a mortgage. It's been a week and they show no signs of slowing down.

I want them to be able to get in touch with me if something important comes up.

Have you asked them to stop calling about this topic?


my brother was sick and he puked in front of me, it smelled horrible

Oh, yuck! That's gross. Did you get sick too?

i didn't, but no one was home and i had to clean that up :(

that's rough! My husband always did with the kids when he was home.


I had the worst day ever yesterday.  I had just finished a long, hard day at work, I had driven the 40 minutes home, was just driving into my street and realised that I had left my bag with phone, purse and most importantly my house keys back in the office!

Oh no that is so frustrating! What did you do?

Well I wanted to cry and scream, I was so cross with myself but unfortunately as I live alone I just had to drive the 40 minutes back to the office to get them then another 40mins back home.  Where i swiftly had a little glass of wine to help lol.

Ah yes, a glass of wine might help to make that feel better. Still, what a pain. Lousy end to a lousy day.

Exactly, so irritating.  But hey you live and learn, I guarantee you I will never leave work again without double then triple checking that I have all my belongings with me!

I would be so lost without my phone, but I could make it through an evening. The house keys though!


My son is amazing! He's been in the National Guard for 9 years and is a Sargent now.

Wow!! That is amazing! Good for him. You must be really proud and you have every right to be! :)


i was irked when i saw a dent in my car door

Oh my, do you know where the dent came from?

probably from some jerk who parked next to me

Sorry to hear that. I hate when people do that and not even leave a note owning up.


My emu ran away last night. I was quite distraught.

Not sure what an emu is. I hope you find him/her!

Me too! She was such a darling bird. I'm not sure why she would run away so swiftly.

Maybe she just wanted to go play. I hope she comes back.


I recently had my first child.  I was absolutely terrified when I went into labour but I put all my faith in the wonderful midwives and everything worked out perfectly!

I'm glad it went as planned. I can imagine that to be a very stressful moment.

it really was its just so scary but I had to believe the experience and caring nature of the midwives would get my through it and it did.  I really admire anyone in that career, its not just a job but a vocation.

You've really got to be committed to go into work like that. It's not for everybody, I agree.


One time I saw something I wanted in a guy's house that I didn't even like much, so I took it. I felt bad after I did.


Oh no!  I am so sorry to hear that.  Did he die of old age?

Yes I think so, he was all grey and stuff. Had arthritis too.

Well, hopefully he lived a good and happy life.


I was very lonely before I met my girlfriend and close friends

Everyone needs close friends to talk to and hangout with.


Once, I bought this really pretty dress to go on a date. Then the worst thing happened!

No. My mom and I were hanging out sipping on red wine and I decided to try the dress on for her. That's when I tripped and spilled the wine on the front of my dress.

That stinks! Were you able to get the stain out?

Nope, the dress was trashed. I had to wear something else. Wasn't as nice as that dress.


When I heard my brothers name called for graduation i could believe the emotion i felt.

watching him struggle all that time,  It was nice to see him win.

That's great. What is he going to do now?


I accidentally knocked over a little kid coming out of the store the other day.

Yeah thankfully he was totally fine. But I felt so bad.

Oh man, that would be terrible. Way to look on the bright side!


I trusted my brother in law with my dog and messed up.

im sorry :( how long has he been missing for?


i hate when i fart in public it is so embarrasing

i can hold them but some of them are just accidental and it is the worst, depends on what i eat haha

I'm sorry, that must be pretty rough on you!


I took my girlfriend to my school dance the other night. It was truly a magical experience!

That is great. Some of the best romantic experiences are at school dances.

Oh, you're telling me. When the first slow dance came on, I thought my heart was going to burst.

Sounds like you had a wonderful night. I am sure she felt the same way.


I never knew what the confidence is. I never felt it before. Until I studied really well for an exam. When I went in the exam hall, I felt confident the first time in my life.

Yes, and the most awesome thing, although I was little nervous, I confidently gave the exam and secured an A Grade in it.


I was training at the running track today and seen this guys running so fast! It was insane!

oh yea? did you try to keep up with him?

Ha, definitely not! He must have been a professional athlete or something like that.


I went to the movies alone. It was quite depressing.

That sounds lonely. Why did you go alone?

My friends ditched me. Some friends they are!

That is really messed up. Was it at least a good movie?


I tried spincah alfredo for the first time the other day.

I loved it. I had never even had spinach before.


I have a fear for roller coaster but I let my siblings talk me into getting on one last night.

Roller coasters are scary for me. How was it for you?

Fun but scary I couldn't wait for it to end lol had my eyes closed most of the ride.

I'm the same way haha. But how was it fun if you have your eyes closed the whole time?!


I walked to the store the other all cool and breezy.

Did you have plans to pick up something special?

Some cigarettes. But the interesting part was, halfway there some one pointed out that my dress was tucked in my undies in the bac. oops

I know that was probably embarrassing then but can you at least laugh about it now?


Oh no! I'm so sorry!  Are you able to be up for another one soon?

There are promotions that come up quite often within my company, so I am hoping for another chance within the month.

Oh great! That's sooner than in my company.  I know you'll get one. Just keep working hard and good luck!


I forgot my wallet the other day, and of course didnt remember it until I was about to pay at the cashiers line!

I hate when that happens, did you have to put all your stuff back?

Yup, and have everyone behind me annoyed with me and all of that fun adult stuff!!

Well it happens to everyone at least once probably, so no worries.


Can't wait for the local band competition this weekend.

Cool, want kind of music will the competition have?

All kinds! I love getting to hear some new bands.

That sounds like fun.  I like all kinds of music too.  What is your favorite?


I just went through my daughter's ballet shirts from the time she was 2 until now - she's 15.

Oh geez. Did you get any tears in your eye?

Definitely - it reminded me of how little she used to be and how much longer I've got until she goes to college.  The shirts will be made into a quilt for her.

Awww, that's so sweet. I remember when my little girl was taking tap dance classes. So precious!


My phone company was billing me for stuff i did not use

Oh no.. I'm sure you did not feel great when you found out

I would be too. Hopefully that gets resolved soon


I can't get enough of music today. Especially all my songs/bands from when I was in my twenties.

Music always seems to be better from the past, I understand all too well.

Its true though, they can't make good music these days. Not in ANY genre.

I totally agree, new music is not as good.


I worked all day in the sun and didn't put socks on before putting my boots on. Boy did I regret that later in the day when I took them off!

Oh man, did you put your socks on after you put your boots on? That must of been awkward getting your socks dirty.

I washed my feet immediately after the smell hit me! Never sweat in boots without socks to soak some of it up! It

For sure, that is a motto to live by! I wouldn't dream of doing anything different.


I was devestated when my grandmother passed away, that was a very sad time for me

It is okay, I am still working through it but it has gotten better


Some lady I know tried to hit on me even though she very well knew I am in a relationship!

It really did but I would never do something to jeopardize my relationship.


I was amazed how much I liked Mission Impossible.

Good to see your interest. I too fond of this movie.


I cannot wait for the newest Mario Party game, it looks like so much fun to me!

I haven't played that one, I will have to try it out.


I had to make a pit stop at the gas station this afternoon to get gas.  I bought a scratch off lottery ticket too.

Pit stops can be fun.  How did you do on the scratch off?

No way! Congrats!!! I've never come close to that much on a scratch off.  I bet your heart was racing.


Yes, I was astounded as he practically stopped traffic to escort the old lady to the other side of the street.

Were you? That must have impressed you a lot.

It was the most darling thing.  As I drove away I could easily see that the lady was smitten.

I agree, we should strive to be like that person.


I went camping the other day and had a rlly bad experience during it.

I ended up getting lost for a bit in the woods which was not fun. Luckily, I made it back to my group at some point.

Oh sounds scary!  I would have been scared.


I went to the blowing all by myself yesterday.

I'm not quite sure I understand, did you go bowling by yourself? If so that's so sad and lonesome.

Yeah, I went to the bowling alley all by myself (sorry, forgot a word). It was so lonely.

As someone who deals with lonesome moments, I know how that feels. I would've totally gone with you had I known you haha.


i saw a person pulled over on the side of the road and looking frazzled, so i stopped

they had a blown tire, and didnt have a spare. frightened them a bit.


When I woke up this morning there were TWO spiders on my bed.

I have no idea how long'd been there.  I just can't get over that there was more than one.


I was so terrified last night! I heard a noise outside my bedroom that sounded like someone was tapping on the window!

That must have been very scary! Did you investigate it?

I did! I nervously peeked outside and found out it was just a bird that was jumping on a tree branch, which made it hit the window! I thought for sure I'd see a person when I looked out!

lol yeah our minds can play tricks on us when we're nervous. I'm glad it was nothing serious though.


I'm very worried that I'm not going to make an important goal.

Could you prepare or ask for help on it?

Unfortunately no. There's no help. There's never any help.

Do your best and be confident about your work


90s music always takes me back to better and easier times.

90s music was great.  Do you have a favorite band or song?

Hanson was my absolute favorite, it's awesome that they are still touring and creating music!

Mmmbop.  Thats cool, I didnt know they were still touring


I am applying to grad school and I am hopeful I will get in.

I found a brown recluse in my room this morning (a type of poisionous spider)

Oh that's terrible!  What did you do with it?

Good choice.  Can't mess with a brown recluse.


I have to go to the dentist on wednesday.  I hate going to the denstist.  Im always worried that im going to get poked or hurt

I don't think anyone enjoys going to the dentist.


Im feeling a little bad about what I did maybe I shouldnt maybe I should idk.

My wife and I both needed new phones, but I could only afford 1 and I ended up buying 1 for myself. I am going to buy her one in a few months but I still feel real bad about it.

That's nothing. As long as you still get her a phone. I wouldnt be mad

Well give her the new phone and then you get one later. Happy wife happy life


My brother came home sick today. I just wanted to make sure he is going to be okay with the medicine I gave him

He is a little better. I am still looking after him


My old friend suprised me with a phone call today. I have not heard from her since high school.

How lovely!  I such it was so nostalgic to talk about old times together.

Yes it was. I cant wait for our reunion so we can catch up on more!

That is a brilliant idea.  There is nothing better than catching up with old friends.


I see so many dudes hitting on my friend's girlfriend.

Some men are such animals. Is she very attractive?

Yea. I think that's very disrespectful of them. Yea. She's real eye catching.


I have always been considerate of my relationship with my wife, I would never cheat

That's good to hear. How long have you been married?

15  years, its a struggle sometimes, but in the end it is worth it


I liked the way Lebron was snatched up by the Lakers

I hope so.  I hope they can crush the warriors


My dog ran away yesterday. I was so ticked off!

Ah that's so terrible. Did you find him?

Nope! Not yet. He does this like every week and comes back the day after. It's really starting to get old.


I have felt some of the best moments of pure happiness seeing someone I love getting something they've worked hard for -- like my daughter's acceptance into her college and major of choice!

That sounds exciting! Congratulations to her. I bet there was a lot of celebration to be had for such an achievement!

Absolutely! Of course, now the real work begins ;-) But her *knowing* that it was her hard work paid off in such a gratifying way -- ah, so happy for her!

I bet! But at least now, like you said, she can see what hard work can achieve. Hopefully the path continues in the best way possible and she can get everything you both hope(d) for!


I really hope my parents make it to my home ok, they live 3 hours away.

Yeah, and they are getting up there in age, I'm hopeful they will be ok.

Any way for you to maybe go to them next time?


I can't wait until all the trees change colors and the weather starts getting cold. I love Autumn!

I know right! I noticed leaves on the ground the other day and got all excited! Is autumn your favorite season, too?

Yes! My absolute favorite! It's not too cold and not too hot and there is so much beauty all around! It is soon time to get all the winter clothes out.

I don't mind winter either but you're so right, the temperature is just right during fall.


I took my pup to the park last weekend and he had fun meeting other dogs and their owners!

Thats always fun! Does your pup do well with other dogs?

Yeah he is a golden so he is happy no matter what lol. He will go up to people and not leave until they pet him.

Mine does the same thing. Goldens are so adorable.

Absolutely! What kind of dog do you have?

He is just a mix breed. We really don't even know.


My wife flew home to see family. It is very quite at home now.

I definitely relate to that feeling, why can't they take us with them!?

I know, that would of been nice! Instead I was all alone for the last few weeks.

Well, I hope she gets home soon, to make the home, a home again! :)


it makes me so mad when i see of someone hurting children!

It would certainly make me furious if I witnessed that. Have you witnessed such an act recently?

Oh no i haven't and i am glad! Just seen it on the news

The news can be so dark and depressing at times.
