I was very interested in a girl that lives near me. I can't seem to muster the courage to talk to her so I'm feeling pretty down in the dumps. Hopefully, one day I can let my mind stop racing and just go for it.

Probably nothing but it's still hard to go through with it. I need to man up...

You do. I mean it can only go one of two ways. And if it goes one way, you can try again with another girl.


My wife and I have been quite scared lately. There has been a rash of burglaries and robberies in our neighborhood lately and some have involved violence against the home owners!

Good reason to be scared.  What steps are you both taking to increase security?

We have an alarm system with cameras and I also have a gun for self defense.  I have to protect my wife and daughter!

A good sound plan.  You're right it is a father's responsibility to protect his family.


I secretly ate the test of my roomie's potato chips and I feel kinda bad about it.

Not yet, but I think that would be the best plan. Especially before they realize they're gone...


The other night I had a panic attack out the blue

That must have been scary.  Is that the first time it has happened to you?

Sadly no, I get them maybe once a year. The worst part was that I had nothing to be stressed about.

Are you able to do anything to prevent them?


I tried to reach out to my estranged mom, but she insulted me and refused to speak to me.

That's awful. I'm so sorry you had to experience that.

It's okay, I'm used to it, it's been six years since we've seen each other.


i'm preparing to run a marathon. i'm not a runner and never participated in any race but i think i can do it!

Oof, are you sure you don't want to try a half marathon first? You'll need to train quite a bit before doing a full marathon

i've been training for the past 4 months and i already signed up and paid for this marathon so i have no choice lol

Oh! Well then stay hydrated! I hope you do well!


My birthday is tomorrow and I am so stoked! I can't sleep because I am so hyped.

Awesome!  Happy Birthday.  What are you going to do?

I am going to the bowling alley with some friends and family!


Im watching the show The Bold Type, my favourtie characters dad died :(

is that a good show? i have never heard of it

Yes, it's a great girly drama! Reminds me of Sex in the City but Modern.


I went to Europe last year, to watch a cricket match.

That's exciting! I have no idea how that sport is even played, but I'm glad you go to go see it! Did the team you were rooting for win?

You should try to watch at least once! Yes, my team won, but as I went there all by myself, I felt isolated!

I will definitely be on the lookout for it. That is awesome though, you were supporting your team! You may have been all by yourself, but you were the only one getting to celebrate! Hell yeah, brother!


I used to be afraid of the dark but now I am not so much, I had a nightlight for a long time


I had a storm come through recently. A massive limb fell on top of my roof and now I have to replace the entire roof of my house

That's intense! I hope the damage wasn't all that bad.

It was very bad. The entire roof will definitely have to be replaced.

Yes, get it fixed as soon as possible. Does insurance cover it?


Yes it really does. He talks to her everyday and tells her everything and even asks for her advice.


I found my dog's old toy. It brought back memories of when I first got her

Aww. I had to put mine down last month. I miss her.

I'm sorry to hear that. What kind of dog was she?


Oh thats right mine arent old enough yet so I dont have that type of joy but im happy for you! ha ha


I'll be going to dinner tonight with some friends and I'm really looking forward to it.

That's really nice to hear, I hope it goes well.


"On Monday the new World of Warcraft Expansion released.

How excited are you? I did not know they still made those.

I was super Excited,  I was waiting for months with anticipation!

That is awesome. Just in time for the weekend. Dont forget to get up and stretch every so often.


One time when I was in Kindergarten, I needed to go to the restroom. The teacher did not let me, so I peed myself

Yes, they called my parents and I was sent home. I got spanked

Aww, I'm sorry. Hope that teacher learned a lesson


I'm amazed at how far I've come in life...from being a loser living at my parents' house not contributing anything to society..to being a self-employed entrepreneur paying my own bills and rent in Texas

that is absolutely amazing! I'm so proud of you! You should be very proud of yourself as well

Thanks for your support :) what do you do for a living

I'm a stay at home mom and honestly it's the hardest job i've ever had but the most rewarding one :) I told my husband i want to keep having kids so i won't have to work again lol


I can't wait to leave the country! im going on vacation soon!

europe it's a present from my uncle, i dont even know where i am going!

Omg! Europe is my absolute favorite place in the world. I recently came back from Italy and Greece 2 months ago and loved it!

Wow! Would you mind giving me some adive on what to see?

Well, I went to Venice, which I absolutely loved, but it was very crowded. I hear Florence is beautiful too! In Greece, I recommend Santorini, or Mykonos if you wanna party!

Yay! It's BEAUTIFUL. If you go, you will love it.


I really love how the leaves turn colors.

I used to love the piles of leaves when I was younger. Raking is no fun now.


I am so grateful to my parents for everything that have done for me growing up :)

That is great. Not too many children are grateful of their parents.

Yeah, they really took care of me and were very kind to me growing up. I am so thankful that they were my parents.

That's great! They sound like they are very good parents.


How long will it take to get rid of the fungus?


My sister came to visit from out of state. It was the first time we've seen her in nearly a decade!

That must have been exciting to see her after so long. Does she live very far away?

Yes she lives on the other side of the country. We had a nice dinner, but my boyfriend is a loud chewer and a sloppy eater. It was quite embarrassing!

That's a shame. Does your sister have a bad impression of your boyfriend after having dinner with you?


I had to take my dog to the vet yesterday and I had full confidence they would take care of his problems. They are so good there.

Thank you. Other than an allergic reaction and a subsequent skin infection all is well. Just a couple weeks of meds and a change in diet needed.

Good to read. Always great to find a vet you can trust. Looks like you did.


I was feeling so lonely in miami after i moved there

Sorry to hear that.  Have you since been able to overcome your loneliness?

I think so.. i have made some friends. it was my first time being away from family

I understand feeling like a duck out of the pond.  Glad to hear you've made progress.


my husband treated me to a week at disney, i had no idea!

That's awesome. Which Disney park did you go to?

disney world. it's the only one Ive ever been to .

Ooh I live pretty close to it. You have a great husband to give you that treat!


My younger 5 your old cousin was visiting last weekend for dinner and he kept crying to his mom to make him Kraft Dinner.

Kids are sweet. They will do everything to get what they want. So, did her mom made him Kraft Dinner eventually?

She she did unfortunately. I made a delicious chicken dinner and he wouldn't even eat it.

Don't be upset about it. Kids do not yet have conscious ability to think concretely in terms of other's feelings


This morning I ran over my neighbors mail box. When getting home later that afternoon I noticed it was back up. I hope he doesn't know it was me!

Oops. Well it happens. You better hope they don't have a camera haha.

That's the first thing I thought of! I don't remember ever seeing a camera there. I do feel pretty terrible, though.

Don't worry. They will probably run over your mailbox one day and hope you don't have a camera.


i was pissed when  i saw a dent in my car door


Awhile back I was taking a relative to get a heart cath. The surgeon sent for me to enter the operating room.

oh yes, thank you for asking. other family members just got a call and told them everything went ok. Kind of scary when I was sent for.

It must've have been. Glad they are okay now.


I was walking last night and someone started to follow me.

Well, I started walking much faster. It looked like they were carrying a weapon or something.


I really liked having my mom here. She helped with the kids but then when she left I missed it.

I can imagine! That extra set of hands -- and a person you can *trust* -- that's the best!

Yes, the kids really missed her when she left. It took us a while to get back to the normal around here.

Does she live far away? It sounds like maybe visits aren't too frequent.


Yeah I went to a used car lot yesterday to check out a car I saw on the internet.  Not happy.

Ick. I've never heard of anyone having a really good experience with that.

Well I realzied that the owner had taken the pictures of the car from a large distance.  Up close it was very disappointing.

Ah, I see. The classic photo trick. I understand why you would be upset about that. That's definitly why it's so important to go see before you buy


Our home was broken into and it was such a terrible experience.

That's awful, I hope no one in your family was hurt.

Luckily. In bad situations like that, it is always best to remind ourselves that things could have been a lot worse for ourselves.


I was upset when my favorite TV show was canceled. Now I don't have anything to watch.

Well thats disappointing. Maybe you can find a show similar to it to watch.

I will look but I hate it when they cancel good shows. It seems to happen too often.

I know what you mean. It seems they keep the crap shows going for years and the good ones get cancelled.


When I woke up this morning there was a wasp in my bedroom

I did! I ran out my room. I think I'll sleep on the sofa from now on.

Sounds like a safer option, any idea on how it got in?

I sleep with the windows open, but it's the first wasp I've seen all summer

Perhaps it would be wise to close them at night

Perhaps then put something so they cannot get in


He was originally suspended at 17 when he again got got with a little bit of weed.  They have a law here in missouri called 21 and under law.  Automatically get suspended for a year if ur a minor in possession.

I know it can which is why I was so worried at court.  THe judge looked at him and said son you need to hire you a lawyer.  I  throw people in jail for things like this.


My girlfriend is fostering 3 cats. She's such a sweetheart.

That's perfection. I rescue animals as well.and have many more cats then that lol. It is very needed to help cats

Wow. I really admire peopel who put themselves out there to help animals.

Me too! It's very hard sometimes, like running an orphanage but it is rewarding as well!


I got upset at my oldest son's lack of motivation.  I feel bad that I got angry with him though.

Maybe you just have to find a way to get him motivated, without showing anger.

True.  I just haven't found a way to yet.  Need to be more creative.

Yeah, just stay positive about it, I'm sure you'll figure something out.


Isn't it nice when people bring you food, when you've had a long day?

Oh for sure. I hate having to cook and do dishes after a long hard day

Exactly! My boyfriend brought me dinner the other night. I had no groceries and just didn't feel like going out after a long stressful day. I was so thankful.

Were at work today or doing something else?


A few weeks ago a coworker called in sick. I had to work twice as long as I normally would.

So you covered him. It was very noble from your side to act in this way

It was, but it didn't help my feelings towards that coworker.

Well, at least you did something good for that co-worker and most probably he feels indebted toward you


That is great news!! ...... but a little scary at the same time. lol

Well you have to let them spread their wings at some point. :)


I wish my husband didn't have to go on his business trip today.

He has to go to Chicago for business for a week. I'm gonna miss him.

oh i hope he is safe. i hear there is a lot popping off there right now!


I just applied for a higher paying position within my company.

Its for a supervisor position. I really wish that I would get the position, I've been working so hard towards it.

Don't wish, demonstrate. Do something that reflects what type of supervisor you're going to be. People love previews.


My friend has been a good dad for 2 decades. I'm sure his daughter will do well, when she goes off to college.

That is good, that is rare these days unfortunately

That is sad but in our times, that should not be taken for granted


My boyfriend surprised me with flowers today.

That is so romantic. I also try to surprise my girlfriend occasionally with some little gifts

You should totally do it! You will earn a lot of brownie points.

Such things even though may seem little have much positive impact on couple's relationship


I left my adult son home for a few days and just came back to a sink full of gross old dishes!

Yes, I did. The whole house is a mess. He's going to have to spend the day cleaning!

You should do to him a strong amount of punishment!


I cheated on my girlfriend in high school.

That's pretty messed up. Why did you do that?

I thought with the wrong head, I feel terrible about it


I setup a job interview for next week. I think i'm going to get the job.

Congratulations! I hope you do, it's always nerve-racking when it comes to the interview and whether or not your get it.

Thanks. I think i'll get it.  The call went really well.

You got this! I have faith, and sending positive vibes your way!


I had to have some work done on my car. Luckily the mechanic gave me a good deal.

Hey that's good.  What was wrong with it?

I needed some work done on my fuel pump. Im glad he didnt have to replace the whole part.

That's pretty awesome.  I don't guess it cost too much then.


My mother was always there for me when I was sick, annoyed and sad

That is wonderful!. It is always nice to have at least one good parent.

Well my dad too but my mum was so much more, even when I was naughty she was still there.

My mom was pretty awesome too! I'm glad you had a good one as well.


An old friend of mine is a medium and told me she connected with my grandfather recently.

That's so cool! What did you think about that?

I thought it was pretty weird at first and I am skeptical but it was interesting.

Very interesting. Maybe I should look into that to connect to my great grandmother.


I met my wife online 7 years ago and can't see myself with anyone else, ever.

You are so lucky to find someone special online. That can turn out so badly sometimes for some people.

Oh I know. I got lucky, we found out we lived really close to each other so we met up and it has been great ever since.

That sounds like fate? Being that both of you lived close to each other.


We were driving and suddenly our car stopped working in the middle of the freeway. It was shocking, and our hazard lights weren't working.

That is terrible! I hope no one got hurt.

We were safe! Thankfully someone was able to tow us away quickly.

That's good. Hopefully your car got fixed as well.


I went to a fastfood. Before ordering, I found a dead cockroach on the floor.

Oh that's really disgusting! Did you still eat there?

Good. They don't deserve your business. You should report it to the department of health too.


I got a email from a distant relative recently that said they needed surgery but couldn't afford the bill. I was so worried they would die.

Oh my goodness, that is terrible.  They don't have insurance?

Then my cousin sent another email saying the relative was hacked by scammers and don't send any money. I was glad to hear my relative is doing fine!

I was just about to mention that you should be careful that its not a scam of some sort.


I watched a tv show the other day and a guy ate a live squid

Disgusting, right? It was wriggling in his mouth

yea i dont see why thats allowed on tv, how is that not animal cruelty


In a few weeks my best friend and I are going to go see Ben Folds, I can't wait.

That is so exciting. Have you been a fan a long time?

Yeah, my friend and I have been fans since 2004. We've seen him over ten times but we go every time he's into town because he never puts on the same show twice.


My sister just got her dream job basically.


My friend returned my wallet yesterday. I was so relieved!

Oh my thats good!  where did you loose it?

I left it on the top of my car! I am so careless sometimes.


Even though I grew up in a small house in a third world country the company of my family was worth more than diamonds

I have three. They are my world. I wish we lived in the country and not the city.


When I first lost a fight I was more humiliated that I lost than worried about the fact that I was temporarily blind in my left eye and my head was split open with glass pieces

Omg that is awful. How long did it take to recover?

A couple of months.  My pride a year lol

I bet! I am glad it wasn't even for serious than it was already.


I went to a court hearing for unemployment with my former employer, and I felt great about it since I was so prepared with all of the documents and everything I needed to show the court I was in the right for quitting.

Yes, I actually ended up winning it and they gave me 6 months of unemployment pay.

That is great - have you found another job yet?


I wrote an email to a family member I haven't spoken to in a long time and I wasn't sure how they'd take everything I said in it.

Oh wow! That is a brave thing to do! Your letter must have been a little intense if you are worried how they will take it. How did it work out?

Yep, it was full of emotion and a lot of things I needed to get off my chest. I was quite nervous waiting for a response but it turns out I had nothing to worry about. She was really glad I spoke up!

Awe that is great! I am glad there was a happy ending!


Seeing nice cars on the road inspires me. I bet they worked very hard to get those cars!

cars are truly inspiring to see how theyve evolved

Yes, but seeing the hard work the people who own them had to put in is the most impressive part.

it's important to take care of and maintain things you own. if properly maintained they can last for a long time.


I'm jealous of anyone who doesn't have to deal with student loan debt!

see it can get worse!  lol... I am paying cash for my classes now but I only take 1 at a time.


I went to the store and something bad happened.

Wow! I bet that was a scary thing to experience,


I cheated on my math test today. Feels bad, man.

I can understand that - I think all of us, at one point or another, did something we were ashamed of.

I know...I'm not sure if I will ever be able to sleep again.

I know that feeling, kinda sick to your stomach can't get it out of your head kinda thing.  We all have to have a method to overcome it and move on.


I found my bike infront of a store before i even knew it got stolen


You should better yourself and fix this situation.


I am soooo happy!!  I met the nicest guy on Live Chat.

What do you mean.. it just happened.  We started talking about task instructions... one thing lead to another.


It is so difficult to have a pet pass away, I really miss him.

Aw I understand that, I have gone through that myself and it's very hard. When did this happen?

Over the summer, he started acting strange so we took him in for testing.


I had to do a research project and present it to my professors to graduate. Thankfully I passed!

You must have worked hard for that! I'm sure it's great and you'll pass with a flying color!

I worked many long hours. It was stressful but I'm happy to have done well

Yeah, such a relief to get a huge project done. You must feel proud!


Looking at how many friends my friend has and the fact that he has a girlfriend is kinda depressing and envious sometimes.

i know what you mean i wish i had either

I would take any of those but I have only some friends and no girlfriend.

yea i know, my friend max has that too and i would like a girlfriend but its tough


I got drunk last night and texted my boss.

Lol that sounds wild, did you text them something appropriate?

Oh no, I told him what was wrong with his management style.

Hopefully he can take constructive criticism, I think more people should be open to that.


I almost got into a car accident today. It was so close...


My friend is watching my dog for the weekend.

A pekingese. I have faith he will take good care of it.

That's awesome that you have friends that will do that for you.


Don't you hate when you order food and it is terrible.

We ordered Krystals on a road trip and couldn't even take it back because it would have cost too much time on the road. I was so upset.


I almost got into a car accident yesterday. Have you ever been in one before?

Yes, I hate that so much. The sound of screeching and crushing metal is traumatizing.

Even though I didn't hear any of that, I still felt pretty traumatized - my heart was beating so fast. Were you hurt in yours?

Unfortunately, yes. I had to get a few staples in my head but my car was totaled...


I have a phobia of water, and my boyfriend made me go out on his boat last weekend.

I was very scared and I won't be doing it again!


I was so dumb because when I liked this girl way back when, I asked her out over Facebook.

I think in person would have been better!

Definitely, but I was way too scared to do that. The worst part was that she was with friends and they all saw that I asked her out.

Sometimes things are much better face to face.


I felt bad when I skipped work when I was not sick. I just lied about it


I remember when my friends were helping me move out of our hometown.  We were riding in the moving truck and it came time to drop them off and say goodbye.  We all felt terrible.

I would feel terrible too. Where did you move to?

I moved to a town about 30-45 minutes away, but at that point we were so used to seeing each other every day of our lives.  It was hard to get used to.

I've moved almost half a dozen times in my life before, so I completely understand. Those were rough times.


A little stray pup appeared on my driveway yesterday.  My initial reaction was to contact the local pet shelter.  However no one had reported him.  I decided to take him in, wash him and feed him.  I have never been much of an animal person but I couldnt believe how much i felt for this poor wee puppy.

Awe your such a caring and loving person! Are you going to keep it?

I didnt think I was but he has won my heart.  No one claimed him, even after posters being put around so yes he has officially become part of the family.  To be honest I was glad no owner came forward, I would never have wanted to give him up in the end he has just stolen my heart!

The love and care you show him will bring him joy and happiness!


I hate it when the waitress bring another table food when I got there first

I cannot stand that!  Did this happen to you recently?

Yeah, I'm so hungry usually and I'll get hangry when this happens

Did you say anything to the waitress? I've always wanted to but never have.  My husband tells me not to say anything because then they will spit on my food.


I am saving money to be able to buy a new car. My current car is having too many car failures. I think one day it will stop working.

What car do you want? I am in the same boat!

I want to buy a honda civic 2018. And you?

I am looking at Ford Fiesta, it is a bit cheaper and runs smoothly


I ordered a salad today and had it delivered to the house

Well that's mighty convenient, was it delicious?

Actually it wasn't. There was hardly any lettuce!

What! It's not even a salad without a ton of lettuce! I hope you called and complained!


I was playing a game recently and it reminded me of old times playing with my grandpa. We'd play Chess for so many hours.

Oh thats so sweet that he taught you to play, he sounds like he was a sweet grandpa.

Indeed he was! I have a lot of good memories with him.

Well hang onto those tight and maybe you can teach someone to play chess in the future.


I am so excited, my husband got promoted to a Lieutenant in the Navy!

That is so awesome. Congratulations. Any big plans to celebrate?

I'm going to take him on a mini vacation. He loves playing blackjack so we are gonna celebrate in vegas over the weekend


I had a close call earlier, someone asked me out.

I'm already in a relationship so I stayed faithful.

that's so nice! good thing you do, we need more people like you, all these normies nowadays just sleeping around and only chasing after cannibalistic desires


i went rock climbing, and remembered I used to climb with my brother all the time

Rock climbing is actually not scary unless you're afraid of heights of course.


Have you ever had a pet that you had to put down? I was so heartbroken when my dog of 16 years had to be put down. this was years ago but it still makes me sad to this day.

That is heartbreaking, it's always helped me to remember that no matter what happens, you have your memories with them.

That is true, we got her when I was 3 years old so I kind of grew up with her, I'll never forget those memories.

Absolutely, it's a chapter of your life and as long as you have those memories they live on through those memories.


I head foot steps and bangs and crashes in my house all the time.,

I always do and there is nothing there! I just ignore it.


I wrote a paper for class that I really didn't put much effort into. I got the grade back yesterday. It was a C. I was satisified with these results.

i would have been fine with that grade too. are you doing well in the class?

Generally I am doing pretty well. I was just lazy that time.

i can relate to that. all that matters is you passed


We went to Six Flags yesterday and I felt so uneasy as I looked at the looming rollercoaster.

In Georgia. The rollercoaster ended up being very thrilling despite my earlier apprehension!


I am staying very positive that this year even if it is coming close to an end I will find a better job!

Great attitude! Yes whatever you put your mind too and work hard at, will happen!

Yes it will and thank you for the encouragement! :)

You're so welcome! Good luck and I hope it's a great place with a good paycheck!


Oh my, sounds like you have the dreaded roommate situation on your hands. Have you tried talking to him?

yes, but his actions do not listen to me.

I see, if you're in college, try talking to your Resident Advisor about it.


Onnce I had to take care of my cousin who had an ailing stomach

I'm sorry to hear that. Do you know what caused it?

Apparently he ate something and slept immediately

I've done that to myself before. Now I always wait awhile to sleep after eating.


I am fuming. I saw someone key my car while I was at the grocery store the other day.

Oh no! What a terrible thing to have happen! Were you able to confront them?

No, I was checking out when I saw it happen. I didn't even know them. I don't know why anyone would do something like that.

That is just awful. Now you'll have to pay to have it repaired.


I was always terrified of haunted houses when I was little.

Me too! the first one I ever went to traumatized me.

Glad I'm not the only one! My friend has a birthday in October and she wanted us to go to one as a group. I'm still not sure if I'll go,

That seems like a weird birthday activity.


I have such a fear of flying, so you can just imagine how I felt when my husband bought us a sky diving voucher for my 30th birthday! He was so excited and I was so nervous and uneasy.

He's a brave man. How was the experience?

Well the day came and off we travelled.  We arrived at the place only to find all our friends and family there to cheer us on.  Up we went in the plane and of course while the lovely instructors tried to reassure me the whole time, i tried desperately to keep my breakfast down!  However after the nerves and initial panic when we jumped out, it was actually one of the most amazing experiences of my life!

It sounds incredible! Hopefully it helped you conquer your fear!


I hate when that happens. It's such a bummer!

I know!  We'd been planning a night out for months.

I'm sorry. You should go out and enjoy yourself and rub it in their face!


i was crushed when i didnt get out of work on time

So sorry you had to miss it, maybe take him out to ice cream to console him


It sucks that summer is almost over for me.

ah that bad!!. You need again to wait for ages!!

Yeah exactly, it's gonna suck not seeing all my friends too.

When you see them again it will be worth a wait!!


My dad was there for me when I dropped out of college. I knew things would be okay because of him

That is an example of an awesome parent.  It is good to know he has got your back!

I am sure it really helped your self confidence and feelings of worth.


I was pulled over for speeding the other day.  The cop actually was really cool and just gave me a warning.  I was very relieved.

You  got lucky.  I don't ever seem to get warnings.

Either he was just feeling generous or it was my lucky day.  Either way I really appreciated it


My daughter has worked very hard to keep her school work finished, her room clean, and the dishes washed. I bought her a cell phone for her birthday this year. She is becoming a responsible young preteen

Wow, watching kids grow up is hard. How has she been with the cell phone?

She has been good so far. We are trying to limit her access to it to just a few hours per day. She also had to "turn it in" at night before she goes to bed.

That's great parenting! You have to trust that your children will make the right choices.

Yes, you do! Hopefully she keeps doing the right thing with it


People caring is good but i will say i have never cared as much for a creature than my first dog.

I can totally relate. Dogs are better than most people. What kid of dog was it?

He was a Dachshund lived til he was 18. I miss him still.

I'm sorry. Dogs take a piece of our hearts when they go. 18 years is a very long life for a dog, I bet you had a lot of great times together!


I am going through a breakup, we were together for five years I am heartbroken

I'm so sorry to hear that. I was together with my wife for 7 years when she left me so I know your pain.

it's horrible. I know you felt the same way. I just want this terrible feeling to be over.

It takes awhile for it to be over. Find a hobby to take your mind off of it. It helps to ease the pain.


My boyfriend came home from his trip early. I wasn't expecting him home for another two days!

I was! It was very unexpected and exciting. Although, I was hoping to have time to clean the place up before he got home.


Lady backed into my car the other day and proceeds to tell me she doesn't have insurance.

Oh my. That would really tick me off. In my state they will lose their license for that.

I had just bought the car two days before the accident.

Well I hope your insurance company sues them. They should really be more responsible.


I asked him three times today to do his chores and they still aren't done.  I don't know what I have to do to make him listen.


We got this new printer at work and let me tell you what

It is sooo annoying!!  It doesnt even work!


My cat somehow managed to lock himself in the bathroom last night. I still can't figure out how he did it.

Wow! He sounds like a super smart cat! How did you get him out of there?

He is! Well, both smart and dumb haha. Had to use a knitting needle to pick the lock!


I'm sorry to hear that she passed away.  Had she been sick a long time?

No not at all. Her Aorta ruptured suddenly


My friend got a full ride scholarship for overseas

Wow, I have a friend that went there for school too!


So i thought people missed my birthday one year. I was terribly mistaken 2 days later.

What happened? did you get the best surprise of your life?

Heck yeah i did! Never had a surprise party before and it was a thrill.

So, how many people were in attendance? and what special gift did you receive?


My wife received an award at work for her hard work on a particularly difficult work project! Man, I was happy for her!

That's awesome. You must be so proud of her!

I am!  It feels really good to know that she is successful in what she does.


I wish I could work less.. i feel so bad that i dont get to spend as much time with my daughter.

Ive been trying what I really need is a higher paid one so that way I dont have to work 2 jobs.

Got ya. What kind of work do you currently do?


Me too, I like to see them as inspiration

If you work hard enough maybe you can afford in the future!


I had to have a bunch of surgeries this past year.

Yeah I'm good now. I feel like things are going to be good for the foreseeable future.

That's great! I hope things keep looking up for you!


My son wanted the tips of his new hair curt dyed blonde to start school.

How did the school feel about it? Don't they have strict rules about that?

It didn't seem that it would be a problem, since it wasn't a crazy color.  But, we ended up in the salon after I turned it orange by mistake lol.

That's funny and unfortunate at the same time. I really hope your son was okay and not too traumatised by the experience!


My significant other woke up last night with... a roach inside of her ear! She was complaining about pain in her ear, and a head ache that was incredibly severe. So, we took her to the doctor and he saw it with a light... and put water in her ear to get it out. Disgusting!

Oh gross!  I've heard of flies or ants being in an ear, but a roach?  That gives me chills because I hate roaches sooooo much.  Now I might have nightmares tonight!

I'm sorry! I didn't mean for that. Yeah, some smaller ones--heck, even bigger ones, can get up there. And then they get stuck, and they freak out, so they're essentially just biting the inside of your head to try and get out. It's horrible to think about, and I've been trying to comfort her since when it happened a little bit ago. But she's getting over it soon. The weird thing is we don't even really ever see bugs in our house, so it was kind of like a one in a million thing. I bet she sleeps with ear plugs in her eyes for the next few years though...

EW!  I might start sleeping with ear plugs in now too.  I've heard you eat 8 spiders on average in a lifetime, some in your sleep.  So many things to be scared of with bugs! I'm so glad they were able to get it out.  Tell her I hope she gets over the trauma of it okay.


My husband might loose his job, I'm not sure what we will do if he does.

That is terrible. Why do you think that he will lose his job?

The company is downsizing and cutting a lot of departments. His hasn't been cut yet but there are rumors!

I understand. That is very stressful. Did he started looking for another jod? It could be solution.


Sometimes I enjoy being alone, but not on a long trip that takes me far away from home.

I know exactly what you mean.  It gets so lonely on the road.  Have you had to go away recently?

This was a while back, but I planned a bicycle trip that went across several states. Although I had a buddy coming with me originally, he ended up bailing and I went alone. I called it quits halfway.

That's still quite a long ride.  Do you do a lot of long distance biking?


Sometimes I look down and my fly is open

Ahaha, yes, when I notice it, but I could be walking around for hours with my fly down!


We we playing 11 a side football on sundays and won the title as underdogs

That is awesome, how long have you been playing?

We had been playing as a team for just over a year together! Now i no longer play!

Have you thought about getting back into it?


Oh yeah what are you doing for your vacation?

Nothing special. I just travel to my familly. It has been almost a year that I didn't see them.

Sounds rather special to me! Out of the country or to another state?


My girls went on an out of town trip and I was home alone

Oh no. Being home alone can be good though. Finally everything to yourself!

You would think but I really missed them.

I feel ya. How long will they be gone for?


yes, i did keep it. im holding it for a couple more days.

Well tell them I said Congrats on whatever it is. As long as it's not a baby marriage.

lol.. i will this weekend. i never hold secrets. im doing a great job


I have been looking for a mate for such a long time. I want to find a single mother with an empty nest.

Sometimes it's hard to find that certain someone! Have you tried a dating app?

It sure is tough. Every time I find someone online it turns out there is something weird about them. I guess I will be lonely for the rest of my life.

Keep your chin up! That special person will come along when you're least expecting it!


I couldn't find my debit card all week and I've finally given up. I think I have to get it replaced.

Aw man, I've been there before. Has anyone tried using it?

No, I kept track of the transaction on my mobile app. I'm pretty sure I lost it.

That really sucks. Fortunate to hear that no one misused it though. They are typically pretty fast at sending you a new one.


My son came home today and was working on his homework.

In 7th and they're doing pre algebra. He said he didn't know it, then proceeded to get every question right!

Awesome! That had to be a great confidence boost for him!


I am! He was able to cokmplete it all by himself and was able to pay for it. He is amazing.

It takes commitment and sacrifice, hell I'm proud of your brother too!


My son is 3 and we've been working on his ABCs lately.

What an exciting time! How's he doing with it so far?

Well I didn't think he was really grasping it, but last night I heard him singing a song and it was all his ABCs!

That's awesome! I guess practice does make perfect.


My pet dog, Gabe, passed away recently. I have been so down lately because of it.

oh im sorry to hear that. what happened?

He had a type of canine cancer and had to be put to sleep.  He really was my best friend.


I accidentally sent a text about my friend to that friend instead of my cousin who I meant to send it to! It wasn't mean but it wasn't necessarily nice either. I feel bad.

That's embarassing.  What was their reaction?

No reply... I think shes just going to pretend it never happened, which is good with me!

Pretend with her.  Maybe it's best to act like it didn't happen.


I was at an outdoor dinner party last week. I got drunk and fell into the pool in front of everyone. I felt so dumb.

That's so embarrassing, but hey everyone has those moments once in a while.

Yea I think I am going to lay off the drinking for now.

Good idea! And if ever you go back, just take it slow and easy.


I loved getting to see my best friend unexpectedly, I never get enough time with her. I cherished every minute!

Its always a great time when that happens.  My best friend and I moved away so I hadly ever see them now

Aw that sucks, I hope you get to see your best friend soon! It's always so good to catch up and talk about memories.

It is, it makes all those memories just flood back


Cool!  Getting a new phone is like Christma!

That is a pretty good girlfriend to buy you a new phone.


i got home from running errands today to find someone broke in and took my tv and laptop

Oh no that is horrible! Did you call the police?

yes i did. i just got both the tv and the laptop

That's good. I'm sorry that terrible thing happened to you.


My daughter practiced her gymnastics every day all summer. We just found out that she made the team!

that's amazing. watching your children succeed is so rewarding

It is! I cannot wait to see what's in store for her future! Maybe a scholarship!

that is awesome. i hope she has very much success in her gymnastic endevours.


I was recently added to a team of people to work on a new project at my job.  I'm not really sure the goal of the project is a good idea, so I've been reluctant to really jump into the project fully.

I'm very pragmatic, and like to focus on the specific outcomes and logistics.  Everyone else on this team has more of a big-picture view and is concerned with how this will make our organization look good at a national scale.  It's a difference of priorities, I suppose.

You sound a bit like me. I get lost in the details of things myself sometimes. I'm sure after you weigh the pros and cons of the situation you'll come to the right conclusion for yourself.


My friends left me to go to the theme park. I feel really left out.

You still consider them your friends after that?

I've been friends with them for a long time, but I don't know they never even told me.


I was going to make breakfast and dropped the egg carton on accident... all the eggs broke.

I had to settle for bacon and toast only.

Oh dear. Well next time you are at the store, get two cartons!


Sorry about that, Miss type.  But i was going to talk about the time the my two best friends fell in love

No problem! I have done it before. Oh wow! That sounds nice, are they still together? I hope.

I hope, but i cant hide the fact that i am envious

Understandable. But remember there are always private things. No relationship is perfect. It takes both working hard


my bus broke down and i was late for work, again!

no i ride a bus to work. this has happened twice in the past month. i need to get a car

Ah, gotcha. I hate it when things happen out of our control. Hope you get it figured out


Crappy day today.  My car broke  down on the side of the road.

Sorry to hear that.  You get it fixed already or what

No not yet.  My friend gave me a ride to work today though.


Soooo .. I wanted to make sure I had everything. I packed a flash light, some matches, and a tent.

No.. but I wanted to make sure I was ready incase I ever did go.

lol, Yes and also you should have something like that for emergencies, or the apocolypse!


ever just look at the sky and wonder "god i am a lucky man"

yep almost everyday because of my fiancee. what about you?

yeah you stole the words out of my mouths actually!

i know, there's nothing like true love .


I was running late and arrived a sweaty mess. It was a movie and I didn't know how to act so talked fast the whole way through.

im sure it wasnt as bad as you imagined it in your head unless other people watching the movie told you to hush


So the other week we were swimming and my one year old almost fell in the pool.

Oh no, have you made adjustments to ensure that wont happen again?

I bet, kids need a lot of eyes on them, but its a catch-22 because you do not want to be too over protective


I'm taking my first ever trip to California! I can't wait to go. I've heard so many great things about the place!

Wow - I've nver been but would love to go.

Well it seems like a place everyone should check out!

Definitely. And it never rains in Southern CAlifornia.


My son got a scholarship into a university that I couldn't when I was his age, i'm happy

impressive my god! you really must be so proud...


I did, I had him for 15 years, but I just had to put him down. It was the worst day of my life

It must have been very devastating. But remember him for all the good times.


My mom is the best. my mom gave me the benefit of the doubt when i got a DUI.

Yes, i thought she would disown me but she ended up supporting me.

Well that's great of her, we've all done stuff.


Did you ever do something in your childhood that you arent proud of?

Yeah I stole money of my mom's dresser once.

Oh how much? I cheated on a test and got caught.  My teacher wrote "cheater" on it and my mom saved it and I saw that test often

Wow that's really rough. It was only $5 but she was still really upset about it.


I recently had a long weekend with some old friends. It was fantastic.

It must have been fun to catch up with them.

it was. We've spent a lot of time together and apart now, so it was good to catchup.

Well I hope you guys continue to stay in touch.


Last week there was a huge tarantula on my wall. I thought it was going to jump on me.

OH GOSH! I would burn the whole house down. i'm terrified of spiders and bugs

OMG me too! I hit it with a rolled up news paper and a bunch of baby spiders came out. I had a panic attack and stomped on them.


i had to assist a mom with two daughters who all had lice

Oh no! That sounds awful! What a kind thing to do though! Im sure they were very grateful for your help!

i tried to stay positive and see the bright side of it but boy was i itchy afterward

I hope you took the right precautions not to get it yourself! I can only imagine that, I have never had it and never want to!


I'm so happy i made enough money yesterday to pay my bills!


I really do not like water, I can't swim.

thats no fun! i love to swim and be in the pool or beach. but i work too much to go


I was cleaning out my attic and stumbled upon my old Star Wars action figures! Going through them really brought back some good memories!

Oh wow that is awesome. I remember when those came out. Everyone wanted to have one!

Yeah, I had like 40  of them.  Those were the good old days!

It's crazy how many toys they have now. Disney is really pushing the merchandise out!


I had to go to the ER when I cut my hand. I was very concerned about the course of the treatment while waiting to see the Doctor.

Not being careful enough when cutting vegetables. I was talking and cutting at the same time. Big mistake.


My one year old just learned how to take off her diaper and she smeared poop all over my leg the other day.

Oh my god, I bet you were grossed out but laughing at the same time.

It was so gross! She had been eating a chocolate granola bar so I thought it was just chocolate. It is funny now, but I was mortified then!

I really hope that is the last time it happens.


I love how direct he is, he definitely one of the best presidents in recent years.


I left some bread in the fridge too long and it got all moldy

Nope! Threw it right out! Was so gross to see.

That's a good idea! I'll try that next (if there IS a next time haha).


Looking back at my older self I've come a long way.  It's pretty amazing really, I was such a bum now I'm a real man, living on my own self-employed with my own car paying my own bills. Like waking up from a nightmare haha

Sometimes it can be difficult to get your footing when starting out. It sounds like you enjoy your life now and have something to be proud of.

Yes a lot more than back then for sure.  Still striving for better every day though

That is all that people can expect of you, that you try to be the best you possible, each and every day.


Last month, I donated some amount to a charity.

That is kind, when i have the means i try to donate


I let my health insurance coverage lapse and don't have any insurance right now. Figured I'd be okay since I'm young and haven't gotten sick or hurt in years. Just yesterday, someone smacked into me and my leg hurts a ton now.

Ouch that sucks.   Honestly, if you had a crappy obamacare bronze plan its unlikely they'd pay for anything anyways.  Its always a nightmare.    You've got to spend a fair amont of cash before they cover anything but a checkup.

You're probably right. Although it's the first year I'm off my parent's insurance plan, so I didn't really start the process of looking into them and learning more about them like I should have. When you're young, you just assume you're invincible, especially since I'm a nerd who stays inside most of the time. We'll see how it goes.

Yep, you'll probably be fine. Give it a couple of days.


I am hoping the eagles can win another superbowl this year

Wouldnt that be something... I suppose you're a massive fan of them

for sure, all of my walls are covered in pictures and jerseys

That is some dedication, will you go to watch it live in the stadium?


I broke a finger the other day and couldn't do any dishes! It was terrible

I was super lucky though because my husband just went up and did them all for me!


My friend won a scholarship to go to school overseas. She worked all through high school.

Yea, it is. She's also a really nice person.


My grandmother is the person that taught me how to cook.

Nice!  What is your favorite dish that she taught you?

Meatloaf. Sadly, she's at the age where she can't cook much anymore.

Awww I am sorry.  At least she showed you how to make it!


I am so impatient right now... waiting for the clock to hit 5 so I can go on vacation!

haha not bad! where are you going on vacation?


My Aunt sent me a parcel the otehr day - when I opened it it was full of candy and chocolate!

What a lovely aunt. You must be her favorite nephew or niece

Do you know what? We're actually not that close.

Maybe she tried to bring some warm strings in relationship with you


I hate it when other guys look at my girl

ooh, you should not be, she should be appreciated for looking good

She's for my eyes only. At least she doesn't pay them any attention. Or I would flip!


I ran a mile in under 6 minutes for the first time

What!  That seems really fast!  Did you train alot?  That is amazing!

I've been working on it for a few months now.

You must feel really good about yourself!  I would be if I could do that.


That's true. I still get to be a baby sometimes.

Well you should cherish them and let them know how you feel.


I was so prepared for the track meet. I spent the previous 4 years getting ready for it.

Wow that is a long time! How did you do?

I ended up coming in 5th overall, but only the top 3 were able to represent our country. But its ok, I knew I had come into the meet in the best shape I could have.

Exactly! that is a great outlook to have. You did your best and as long as you are happy personally all the rest does not matter


My daughter called and said my grandson had to have a chest xray because he was having trouble breathing. I was so worried I didn't know what to do with myself.

Oh no, have you been able to calm yourself down?

She called several hours later to let me know everything was ok. I worry even more because they live so far away.

I can understand that, I think I would be a mess too.


I had to take care of my 3 year old, he had the flu. I fed him some healthy food, gave him a warm bath and tucked him in to bed with fresh clean jammies. It was sweet.

wow. what an experience. He must have felt loved from the care you gave him

I sure hope so! He was really fussy while he was sick, I felt bad.

sorry about that. I hope he is doing well now


I can't help but think back to the good old days at Christmas time.

Christmas was always a nightmare for me.

I'm sorry. That makes me really sad. We lived in a great neighborhood growing up and our neighbors were like family and always got together to celebrate.

I cried every year knowing santa wasnt coming to my house.


Never heard of such a thing. Is it outdoors?

Yes but sometimes they are also indoors.


I pray that the sun rises for another day for me.

Stay positive and hopeful! What's wrong ?

I gave everything I had to my relationship with another human, and in the end I was just thrown away. I can only pray it'll get better.

I know that feeling of getting used. I hope we both find solice


My daughter said her first word yesterday. I was so proud!

It did! She said "daddy". Chills went down my spine.


I'm fairly happy where my life is right now. At least it's headed in the right direction.

thats great to hear, im happy for you and your accomplishements

It's hard and long work, but at least I'm making it.


An old girlfriend contacted me looking for a one night stand, I had to decline.

Hah, they can be fun. Though my partner would not have appreciated it!


My son just finished third in a jiu-jitsu competition he was in.

No way! Thats awesome!! How old is your son?

He's ten.  He really impressed us with how well he did.

I bet! Thats great news though, congrats to him!


I have meditated nearly every day this year. It was my new years resolution.

Nice! Did it help you become less stressed?

Yes! It is surprising how much it has helped me considering how neurotic I can be.

Dang, well I hope you can continue your goal of meditating every day!


That's great. I guess he might be one year old. Am I right?


Loaned my friend 10k. My family said I shouldn't have, but I think he'll come through.

Thanks. I think our friendship is strong enough.

I believe you, that would be hard to get around, a lot of money


I've never seen them. What do you love about them?

They funny and kid friendly. I really like laughing with my kids.


While getting into my car after shopping, I realized I had walked out without paying for the flash drive I had picked up.

Oh no, did you return to the store and pay?

I didn't, I really didn't want to walk all the way back to the store. I know... I do feel pretty bad about it.


have you always wanted a jeep they seem pretty fun to drive.


I have this coworker who really likes to pull pranks on people...again..and again. It's always the same stuff

Oh that can be annoying sometimes, I hope they're not too serious.

Nah, they're just stupid things like moving stuff around, putting wacky sticky notes on your desk, changing your desktop wallpaper, etc.

Oh well that doesn't sound too bad, I hope he gets some in return though.


I took my dog on a walk without his leash! I felt scared he would run off but he did great!

He was very excited about it. I feel like he minds me more than ever.

It's good that you are able to discipline your dog.


My first ever date was very embarrassing

It was just a mess from start to finish. I was running late so I was all sweaty and out of breath. We went to a movie and I didn't really know how to act.


I feel so nervous about my upcoming job interview

Don't feel nervous, you need to be confident!

I know.. but i have this feeling inside me that i would screw up

It's hard to push that feeling away sometimes, I know.


That can be very unhealthy for you but it's so convenient

I know. I have been trying new foods though. I am so glad I did too


Finally got some yard work done last weekend. The grass was getting out of control and if it's too high, you can't hardly cut it.

That's true. I'm glad I live in an apartment.

I would like to concrete three quarters of the yard.

Lol. I think that's more hard work, but you'd only have to do it once lol


When I was a kid, we used to make caramel apples every fall. They're such a wonderful treat.

Oh, I love caramel apples! They're one of my favorite treats in the fall. Did you guys make your own caramel?

Yes, and we burned a bunch before we got the hang of it.

Sounds just like my family. Caramel is so hard to get right on the first try!


Are you the mother or father? Time flies so fast..

I'm mom. She is taller than me now. I wish she was 4 again.

I bet she is going to be a great person when she is older


My friend decided to lie about cheating with another girl when he was confronted with clear evidence

Wow that must have been awkward.  You can't really argue with the evidence sitting right in front of you.

No, you can't. It's especially awkward when you all know each other well. It makes me sad, honestly

Yea it's always sad when a relationship doesn't work out.  Hopefully in the future he can be more honest.


My boyfriend cheated on me with my best friend! Why would he do that??

He is worse than a jerk, that's for sure.

Don't forgive him or your friend. Find new people


I love who I am now.  But I'm livid at my older self, that guy was a deadbeat and I'd probably beat the crap out of him haha

Im glad you made changes for the positive in your life.  You cant go back into the past, but you can keep moving forward

What kind of changes have you made and why did you decide to make them?


My exams are next week and i have prepared very well. i think it will go smooth

All you can do is prepare the best you can. After that there's not much else you can do.

Yeah i know. It just the intuition i will do well. Exam's are scary though

That they are. Just don't psych yourself out. Relax and you will do well.


Over the summer my family went to Alabama to visit family and I felt a lot of emotions

I guess you don't live in Alabama? Was it overall a good trip....or challenging? Or both!

No, I do not live in Alabama. We drove and trip was overall very good as sometimes it can be challenging when driving such a long distance

Well, if the drive was the most challenging it sounds like a good trip! Too often it's family dynamics that are *more* challenging -- and not so easily taken care of. ;-)


I found out that one of our coworkers was stealing.

wow, thats horrible. what were they stealing?

They are embezzling moderate sums of money.

thats horrible.  im glad they got caught


My boyfriend helped to calm me down as I went through a procedure at the doctor a few weeks ago.

Sounds like a good boyfriend! Did everything turn out ok?

He made me feel much better as I believed when he said I would be fine. And yes, everything turned out great!

Awesome, I'm glad you have someone like that in your life to support you!


I was very disappointed that I was let go of a job I had had for years

I'm sorry to hear that. Did they give you a severance package? Also, Do you have prospects for a future position?

They did provide severance. I wasn't sure what to do but felt that things would work out

At least they did that much for you. I'm sure you'll land on your feet. You seem like an optimistic type

Well, actually I did end up getting a job that I like!

That's wonderful! I hope you find fulfillment and a sense of purpose {not to mention a chunky wallet haha}

Thanks! The wallet's still a bit skinny, but I like the job, though!

Personally, I find that a job you enjoy that gets you by is superior to one that makes you a lot of money at the cost of your happiness


So I have been traveling around by myself.  It has been getting to me this week. I miss my friends.

What sorts of places have you been going? Alone time is always great but then sometimes it gets to be too much so I understand.

I just got to Vietnam. There is no one in this hostel so I havent met anyone to hang out with. Maybe I should move to a different city.

You could always do that but maybe exploring on your own can give you a different perspective on things.


I went to the bowling alley all alone yesterday.

Oh no. You didn't have anyone to go with?

I didn't. My friends ditched me. It felt pretty bad.

Wow. That's some friends you have there.


We ordered pizza the other day, and I ended up eating the last slice behind everyones back.

I know right, felt a little bad but hey what can ya do! lol


My husband and I were about to go away for our first vacation together. I was so excited.

We went to Lake Powell in Utah to rent a house boat.


I walked in excited because i was finally going to the movie with my mother,  and she was layed out asleep

Oh, well, I guess that was a bit disappointing huh. Well, maybe you can go real soon.

She keeps telling me every day we can go.

Oh, well, you're going to have to say, "Mom, I know you're tired but I really want to see this movie, can we please just go? It'll be fun, we need time together".


I got a job after a long period of unemployment.

I know how hard that can be. Is it working out?

Yes. I was very happy to be gainfully employed.

It does take a lot of stress off of you.


I put way too much on my credit card and can't even afford the minimum payment. The thing is, my dad's name is on the card too. I feel bad.


I need to go buy me some new beach clothes

Yep!  In a couple weeks!  Taking the nephew with us for his first time.

That should be so much fun, seeing his face when he first puts his feet in the water will be amazing!


I never win anything but my luck just changed

I went to the store to buy some groceries and I won a $20 gift card in a contest.  I was shocked

Well congratulations, spoil yourself with it!


I love the buzz of discovering cash I didn't know I had, either from hard work or just plain good luck...puts me in a good mood every time

I love that as well!  Nothing better than unexpected cash!  Has this happened to you recently?

Yup :) thought a self-employed check was going to be late...but come Monday morning it was all there, and paid rent for the first time with 100% self-employed profit.

Awesome!  Congrats to you on that unexpected windfall!


My dog died this past December and I've had a really hard time getting over it. She was our family pet.

I am so sorry to hear that. I have been devastated by the loss of pets in the past, so I can understand what you're going through. I'm sure she was very loved and had a great life with you and your family.

She really was a wonderful pet. We just got a puppy recently, which is the same breed as the one who passed away. She's bringing some light back into our lives.


I  am pretty certain I will be able to afford a vacation for my family

Thats awesome.  Where are you wanting to go?

I am not sure yet.  Somewhere really fun for the kids

I live near Disney.. have you ever been?


Really?? You probably were been very scared.


I won $50,000 on one of the 3 scratch off tickets I recently bought!

Holy smokes - thats unbelievable.  I gave up on playing those scratch off games

I know! I normally do not win so I could not believe it when I did!


Well, recently at physical therapy I walked the length of the treatment room with the help of a cane. I'm feeling quite good about that!

Considering I've been using a walker for the past two years, yes it is. Thanks!


I found my old Nintendo (NES) that I used to play as a kid!  So many memories!

Wow I love nintendo, you should get an NES classic!


I was in shock when I saw a car accident on the highway.

I don't think so. They had a lot of ambulances blocking the wreck to cover it from view.


My son got picked to be on the soccer team that he was on last year!

Yay!! That is great news! He must be so happy he made it!

He is!  Especially since last year's team won the Opening Day Tournament and then won the Regular Season title!


I accidentally tripped while walking into a restaurant for dinner, totally ruined my appetite.

Man that really stinks. I hope that you are ok!

I'm fine but I was wearing nice clothes and they got a bit ruined.


My mother-in-law once told a secret of mine that she promised she would never tell

Oh no! That's my greatest fear that people will tell my secrets

I know it really hurt me and I had to work on trusting her again with other things

Aw, perhaps she just slipped up? It does happen even to the best of us


I am hoping to become an English teacher but I am waiting on test results to come back.

I bet you are very eager to find out, good luck!

Thank you.  I am very eager and anxious to see how well I did.


My roommate's cat passed away last week. There is a heavy air over the household.

Yeah hes really lost without her. It was unexpected.


I am so angry I didn't win my school election.

Oh that sucks. What role were you applying for?

Cool, sorry to hear that you didn't get it.


When I applied for the job I have now it took them like a month to get back to me with a final answer.  It was pretty stressful.

My brother just graduated and is on the job hunt, and he's described his experience as the same thing.. Seems like he has good interviews and they're receptive to him, but they don't really respond or give him an answer. Sorry to hear you guys go through that. Can't imagine how frustrating it is

Super frustrating.  It worked out in the end, but I had to bug them a few times to make sure they hadn't abandoned me.

Good on you for being aggressive and opportunistic. Maybe they found that to be the motivating factor to give you the job. I hope it's been good so far.


Its meet the teacher day at the school. I always get nervous doing this.

Are you the parent or the teacher? I get nervous meeting anyone new

Im the parent. I always feel like I don't belong around other parents because they are always much older.

I felt like that when my kids were younger. Doesn't feel like that now they're teenagers. It'll be ok just act natural


I like too see pictures of my kids when they were babies, but it always made me cry a little remembering the all times

You are exactly like me. Those were the good old days

My youngests are 3 and 4 now. Those days are gone


I am jealous of my coworker, they are very smart and athletic

Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Have you even been interested in athletics?

I am sure there are some things you are more gifted at as well.


I was watching a friend of my show of his juggling skills recently. I got to say, I was quite dazzled by his skills!

He was able to juggle 5 bean bags for about a minute and a half.  I had no idea he was that coordinated.

I wonder how people figure that thing out about themselves? Very cool, though.


My mom and I haven't always had the best relationship. Recently I've had to tell myself to let her in more. It's been challenging.

I hope that your relationship continues to strengthen.

Thank you. I know that, even though it's challenging, I need to be patient in order to improve our relationship.

I agree. Life is short and having these relationships is very important


I received a letter from the IRS saying I didn't pay my taxes.

Oh no! What did you do? Are you going to dispute it?

It was fake, but I was so afraid while reading it.

Well that's a relief! Wouldn't want the IRS to seize your house!


They make me sad too. I wish I could heal all those sick kids.

I know. All kids deserve a happy and healthy childhood. It breaks my heart.

It makes me feel better knowing that they get such great care at St Jude's and the parents never get a bill though.


My daughter is such a hard worker. She goes to high school and works full time.

She is doing great. She also makes really good grades and is on the National Honor Society.

Thats awesome. She will do great in college.


One time at work I put together a shelf that had nonmatching parts.

Oh? Is it more of art than purpose in its form?

It's more like there were leftover parts and we made do with what we had.


I had a dinner party last night and my dog ran right in the room during the first course and pooted!

They thought I pooted! My poots never smell that terrible! It smelled like onions and ketchup.


My friend's eyes keep hurting at night. She's been to the doctor, but they can't find anything wrong with her

The weirdest thing... it sucks when you dont know whats causing it. Has she been to an eye doctor or just a general dr?

She's just been to her doctor. I'll see if she can see a specialist.

sounds like a good idea i hope her pain goes away asap!


I didn't really try to use weight but i started going to the pool and i actually lost a couple of lbs

that's good to hear! Good for you! Maybe i should go to the pool too lol

it's really fun and it's also a great exercise! Plus water is so relaxing

true! Do you just swim or you do some water aerobics?


I had to go to the car dealer to buy a new vehicle several years ago. I always get so nervous when I have to talk to the dealers.

I totally understand the anxiety. You never know if they are baiting you or actually giving you a good deal. Did you get a new car?

Exactly. I always end up feeling like I'm getting ripped off. I did end up forcing my husband, who is better at deals, to come with me and we got a Jeep!

I'm so happy you were able to get a dependable vehicle. I always have someone come with me as well. It's nice to have a second pair of eyes.


I at someMcDonalds in my car the other day

It was great. I was hiding from my kids I didnt get them any lol


I can no longer stand christmas, because once when i was thirteen I had been told I would be getting a playstation. Christmas came and I never got it.

Oh man! I'm so sorry! Is there any part of the season you can still enjoy?

Not christmas no, New years is still decent for me. Everytime I think of christmas my mind just goes red.

Do your parents feel terrible about that? (Not that you want them to....I just imagine they'd be pretty devastated to know that's why a holiday was ruined for you.) On the other hand -- I LOVE New Years!


I have been looking around at different car insurance quotes

a couple but it amazes me how expensive insurance is

Did you have alot of accidents that can jack your rates up.


So my little brother barely passed his finals to become a cop! I could not beleive it.

That's great that he passed though!  ARe you happy about it?

Im very happy, but all he do through school was party and never study. Im shocked.


After my mom spent hours making dinner for us, I didn't really like it.

Reminds me of when I was younger, but I always acted like I liked it to make her happy.

That's sweet of you. I've been doing that, but I think it's time to be honest.

Just make sure you drop the hint in a nice way!


I was sad to see Lebron go to the Lakers

That sucks to hear. I don't know too much about basketball, to be honest. Was it really a big deal?

I hear a lot of people say that, he must be real good. What team would you prefer to see him on?


I just can't stand it anymore. My partner nags almost about every detail of our relationship. Just yesterday, she criticized my taste for clothing

That would get very irritating. Have you talked to her about it and let her know how you feel?

I did many times. She doesn't seem to understand or even consider my concerns. I think we will not go any further with such attitudes

Thats too bad. I am sure it makes things very stressful and difficult.


I texted a girl for a date. She sent the text to all my friends.

He felt so bad. She was trying to humiliating me.


I was surprised at a delivery that arrived the other day


Me, too!  I work at the registration department at a college and we're very busy until school starts.

There's just something so nostalgic about going to school. Reminds me of my childhood.

I think it's the feeling of the beginning of something new.


I had to take the trash out last night and the bag busted open on the way to the road

Oh, you don't even know. I was covered in filth that "Cradle of Filth" doesn't even know about. I was so disgusted that I thought I was going to die.

Woah, that sounds like a very unpleasant experience. I hope it's never gonna happen to you again.


My dad saved a piece of pizza for his lunch the next day. he was not happy when he woke up and checked the fridge.

Haha, did someone else eat the pizza?  Was that someone you?

I got up in the middle of the night and ate it. I cut out a picture of a piece of pizza and left it in there for him LOL

hahaha, he may have been a little angry but I'm sure he got a decent laugh out of it.


I walked into my living room to see my entire extended family holding presents.

Oh what a scene. How did it make you feel?

I was in awe,  all of that just for my birthday.

You are so lucky to have a family like that!


I don't have a car anymore but I'm perfectly fine with a bike now. Everything I need is pretty close to my house.

Thats good everything is so close. It really helps out a lot and walking is good for you!

I agree! I need to start being more active anymore so there's that.


Wow, that's pretty impressive! Have you been training a lot?

That's awesome to have that type of dedication.


I'm going on a trip to New York City in December.

No, I go yearly.  I already have my maps ready and color coordinated with things to do and restaurants to go to!


I can't get my money under control and I am so angry with myself.

Do you have a lot of debt?  I'm sure you will figure it out and get back on your feet.

I have a lot of student loan debt as well, I just focus on making sure I pay monthly.  I try not to think of how much I owe


I recently purchased a Nintendo Switch and playing it reminded me of my childhood playing games with my friends.

I played Mario Odyssey which is incredibly fun.

I heard it is one of the best games of this generation!


Yesterday I got my car washed. I was pulling out of the car wash and a bird nailed my hood with its mess.

Yeah I was really ticked off but luckily the car wash said I can get another wash for free. That made me feel better.


There was a new resturaunt that opened up around the corner and everyone was raving about it

I did! It was terrible! I was so upset! It was expensive, small, and bland!

That's a shame. I hate it when a place doesn't live up to the hype.


i have lost over 30 pounds in the last year

just walking. not drinking soda. eating fresh fruits and veggies from the farmer's market

Soda definitely can make you pack on some pounds! Keep up the healthy lifestyle!


i was happy when i saw i was approved off for the weekend

Cool! That's great news. Do you have any fun plans?

Sounds like fun! I'd love to be able to do that. But I get to work all weekend.


Man I was stoked when I checked the mail yesterday

I got a check in the mail from my insurance company.   Wasn't expecting that!!


Someone let me cut in line at the store so I could check out faster.

Yeah, I was in a huge hurry and didn't have much but I really needed to make it to the bank before it closed.

Most people now a days won't do that. Make sure to pay it forward!


My child sneaked in my room to get the Xbox controller while I was sleeping. The night before, I had grounded her.

Oh no, do you think she was trying to get back at you for grounding her?

I think she thought she could play a few minutes of Minecraft and then return the controller before I woke up! I caught her getting into the drawer where I hid it.

I definitely remember trying something like that when I was a kid.  I think sometimes kids think they're sneakier than they actually are.


A couple months ago my 60 inch element LED HDTV randomly got white lines all over it while my fiance was at work. I didn't do anything to it at all, it just glitched up by itself and got worse as the night went on. I don't think it can be fixed.

That is horrible.  Is it still under warranty or anything like that?

Its just over 2 years old and I called Element and they said nope, but we can send someone to come look at it for $99. I hate when manufacturers dont stand behind their $800 products, you know?

That is a rip off honestly!  I don't think I'd buy that brand again.


Time passes on for us anyhow, and now my kids are in 5th and 8th grade.

It does, but you never stop worrying about them. I'm waiting for them to get home now.


My brand new car was hit in the grocery store parking lot yesterday.

Yes. She got mad when I told her that I was filing a police report.


A time I felt lonely was when I joined a video game lobby. There was not a single person in it and I felt alone...

Yeah, it was weird. When I joined it said 3/25 people but when I got in it, there was no one.


Just finished studying.  The peace helped me concentrate but now no one is around to celebrate with.

That's too bad. It's nice to have friends to revel in our victories. Why don't you get yourself a beer and relax on the porch?

That sounds like a wonderful idea, I will do that.

If you need someone to join in, just let me know!


I had some licorice candies recently. My grandfather used to buy them for me all the time when I was little.

Definitely. It made me happy and sad at the same time!

well at least it brought back some good memories!


Last night was quite a low point in my life. I ordered 12 Big Mac's from the drive thru of McDonalds.

They are, but I felt so ashamed. Not because I ate so much, but because I didn't order enough.

I mean you can still go back for more after this. Don't give up, bro.


I am very certain about my girl's love for me

That's so sweet. It's good to have that kind of faith in your relationships.

yes we have been together for 5 years now

Congratulations. I hope you stay happy always.


I miss how we all used to celebrate Christmas when I was a child. It was such a warm and cozy time. Things are really changing in this high tech modern world.

They really have changed. I know exactly how you feel and love thinking back to the time.

Yeah, so you remember all those wonderful old Christmas movies and all those commercials they played in between. I still have some videos of recordings from the 80's.

Those were awesome! My favorite was the coke commercial at Christmas time. So many memories!


My father was the one who taught me about being a man!

Really! I bet he was a real manly man then!

Thats right he was! He was exactly what I needed.

It's always nice to have someone show you things. You're very lucky.


When I was in Costa Rica I was having a lot of trouble with the address of my AirBnB, I was so lost.

Oh no! That must be so frustrating being in a foreign country

It was because my Spanish was a bit lacking, it also didn't help that people kept giving me bad directions. I eventually stumbled on it but for a while I was worried I would never make it there.

I'm glad you eventually found it and didn't have to sleep somewhere else.


I feel so bad for farting infront of a hot girl on the train.

yea, but she pretended not to. But I felt so embarrassed in that moment.

I would have the same feeling. You just need to forget about it.


Someone threw away my lunch at work today.

They didn't even eat it! How dare they!!

I know right!  I was so upset someone would do that.


I got a raise at work. I'm glad my hard work has paid off!

it does i agree! its always great when someone gets paid for their hard work


Some guy cut me off in traffic today and caused me to swerve and hit a sign board

yes, and it will cost me thousands of dollar. I am really angry right now.


I was fast asleep this morning when my cat pounced on me and jolted me awake.

It came out of nowhere. I almost fell out of bed!


i feel like my dog is my child time after another.. love him so much

i understand what you are saying, pets are always close to our hearts


School starting leaves the house so empty and quiet

We get really busy in the Fall with a lot of extracurricular stuff.

My kids are too little for lots of extra cirriculars. I get lonely while they are in school

I see, well hang in there. In about 5 minutes, they'll be older.


I once haf my name called over the intercom at Walmart.

I hsd left my purse in the mens bathroom. The womens was to crowded and I had to go.

Well, it was fortunate that you got it back ok.


I was really happy when my nephew was born, Sadly i was informed he had cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease.

That's sad to hear. What's his prognosis?

He's doing about as well as he can be. Very healthy, but without some new discoveries he will likely have a shortened lifespan.

Hopefully medical technology will catch up to where it needs to be for him.


This year has been going pretty good so far.

That's great!  Have you had good things happen?

Not so much. Just the fact that I still have my job and everything is going just as good.


My son was accepted into college the other day!

Congratulations! thats awesome.  Does he know what hes going for?

He is going to be an engineer! Although I told him it is ok to change paths once in school and you get a feel for it

Wow, so he must be really smart then.  Make sure he doesnt do too much partying like I did.


I thought my girlfriend was pregnant recently.

Oh really? How did that make you feel, honestly?

It made me feel very scared not knowing what would happen.

I can imagine. The unknown can be very scary and make you worry.


Sorry to hear that! Losing pets is tough, it's essentially losing a family member.

Yes indeed! I felt very sentimental, when we buried him.

I hope you find the peace that you deserve and know your pet loved you!


Raising children is hard, to say the least. What did she lie about most recently?

being asleep. The are also dumb lies lol

Well that's a relief. It actually sounds fairly amusing!


I look forward to our family reunion every year.

thats cool that you have one every year.

Well this year was terrible. There was a big fight over the food! It was so stupid


I love playing table tennis, so I was pretty sure I was going to beat my Dad last time I played him.

Table tennis is a wonderful game. Did you beat him?

No I lost, but it was a close game! Haha, it can be a good workout when it gets really competitive!

Aw, I'm sorry you didn't win. Maybe next time.


My vacation is coming up in a month. I've worked nonstop for 9 months.

Wow, I'll bet you're ready for a vacation. Are you going anywhere special?

Just going up north to Canada. Trying a new change of scene.

That should be awesome. Do you know anyone in Canada?


Im expecting a good bonus to be on this check coming up. I can finally go buy a new car!

That is some exciting news. Do you already know what kind of vehicle you want?

Yes! Very exciting! Yes I had my eye on one all year. I cant wait

Christmas is coming early. You will have to take me for a ride.


I received a late birthday gift from a friend and it was exactly what I needed


My partner took my car last Sunday morning to visit her friend. She did not even ask me or let me know. I had plans too with friends. And I was stuck at home

Wow that doesn't sound like a very good relationship. Did you talk to her about it?

I did. But she does not listen to my concerns at all. She lives like she is the only one in that house

Wow I'm sorry I hope you can figure something out!


The most awful time of my life was when my wife went to jail for a month. I'm glad it's all over.

Some old stuff from 2 years before but court was appointed this late!

I'm glad y'all were able to make it through such a hard time.


Just started my budget. Apparently I'm going to be ok.

Down the last dollar. I have a baby on the way so we've got to bank money

Ah, that makes sense, well I hope it goes well for you!


I fell asleep during my date last night.


A friend tried to get me to drink and drive but I didn't.

Good for you! It is really dangerous to do that.

Hopefully you can teach your friend to copy your behavior!


I recently flew for the first time on an airplane!

Wow! That must have been exciting. Were you nervous?

My anxiety was through the roof, it was terrible!

Oh, that sucks! Did you relax a bit after take off or were you anxious the whole time?


Im a little disappointed. I just got the call that the job I wanted went with someone else.

I hate to hear that. Did the person that got the job deserve it?

I dont know. Never met the person. Its going to be hard to find another job like that one.

Well, I have faith that you will find something just as good, keep your head up and keep trying.


It really bothers me when people stand right on top of me in line

Its not like they can go anywhere so back on up!


i was pissed when i saw a dent in my door


I kept looking at the door expecting my father to walk in any minute.

I hope you wasn't to disappointed was you to going to spend time together?

Yes, we was supposed to come see me, and he never showed.

A simple call would have been nice hopefully he has a good explanation for this.


I just saved a bunch of people on the beach this week.

Nice! I am glad to hear that you got to use your Baywatch-esque skills!

Yeah, they are saying that I will be the head lifeguard for next season.  I have never been so pumped.

That's great man. You just have to wrestle a few sharks and they'll appoint you head lifeguard of the state.


I was so happy to see that my little nephew made me a birthday gift!

He unexpectedly decided to make me a painting of myself with crayons. It was pretty funny.


My husband brought me a rose home from work, I couldn't believe it!

I was, he never does sweet things like that. I cried a little bit.

Aww - I'm glad he surprised you like that!


My friend recommended me a restaurant. I went with my wife to try it. The food was terrible.

Maybe you should go by yourself. Normally wifes stay at home and clean.

I was expecting better from this restaurant.

Maybe if you go somewhere else without the girl.


We just had a giant storm roll through this week. So much rain and lightning. The ground got so saturated that a tree fell down in my yard.

Wow! I hope it didn't cause a lot of damage, I have a bunch of very tall trees in my yard as well.

Unfortunately it did. It fell right on my shed and absolutely flattened. I have insurance but the shed had a lot of tools in it that held kind of a family heirloom value to me.

That's terrible I'm sorry to hear that. I'm also glad you have insurance.


I have been avoiding watching a scary movie for months

I used to like watching scary movies. Not my thing anymore.

Ive never liked them and I never will. I dont want to be a liar because I said I would. I wish I hadnt said that lol


I was really lonely and depressed at one point, and I had a dinner date with a potato I put googly eyes on.

Haha, that's a nice way to enjoy a sad moment, how are you feeling recently?

Much better, thanks :)  Yeah, I was really just doing anything to feel a connection.

I'm happy to hear you're doing better. If you feel that way again please reach out.


I am excited for the next football season, the Eagles could repeat, who knows


my cat vomited in the floor and i stepped in it!

no just really gross, all warm and mushy between my toes.


Oh no!  How are you handling the disappointment?

I am doing okay! I will just have to work harder next time.

That's a great attitude to have about it.  But I understand that it still stings a bit.


I was walking down the street and I saw a really creepy clown smiling at me. I got so scared.

Oh man.  Now I am having images of the movie "It" in my head.  What did you do?

I just ran home and hid underneath my bed. I looked out the window and it was on the street still staring at me. Now I can't leave my house!

That is unusual behavior for a clown.  I would say you might want to call the authorities.  There has to be a law against a creepy clown stalker


I cheated on my ex girlfriend, and I felt bad about it ever since

Ohhhh, that is so bad. Why did you cheat?

I got drunk - i felt really guilty about it

Oh no, sorry about that. But have you confessed to her


I was recently going through some cupboards and I found my old school tie and some photos. I'm not really someone who holds onto things, and I hated school, I don't really know why I kept them.

Do they have any sentimental value for you?

Not at all honestly. I'm not a very sentimental person generally. I think I kept them because I thought I might 'value' them later on, but looking back I really don't.

Well then maybe it is time to get rid of them?


I tried to buy a part for my furniture but they changed the sizes and left the name the same

That's pretty dumb. Did you eventually get the part?

No, I have to return it and ask about it again


Some man was talking to my girlfriend at the carnival.

No, thank god. But I was extremely on edge. No one should be talking to her except for me.


I'm on a diet to try and lose weight but I slipped up. I don't know what to do since my wife and I are dieting together.

How badly did you slip up? You're allowed cheat days

I ate an entire bucket of ice cream in one sitting. I devoured that thing.

That's quite a big slip up... I'm not even sure how you'd do that.


My best friend's long-term relationship ended abruptly a while back, just after her father passed. I'm so full of admiration for her - instead of turning to drink or becoming crazy-depressed, she pulled herself together and made a new, exciting life her new reality.

That is very unusual. She should be proud of herself.

Yes, she should. She joined a community garden and helps out there, she got a part time job and took up badminton - not something she'd ever done before!

Wow, I wish more would follow her example. That's a recovery.


Omg, how many months were you pregnant before this happened?

6 unfortunately. It was the worst thing I've ever been through.


When I was a kid I used to steal candy from the local 7/11 with my brother. We never got caught from the store but my parents found all the wrappers hiding in our room.

Hahah that is funny. Were your parents angry?

Yes, they demanded to know where we got the money to buy all that candy. We lied and said it was from a birthday party at school. Haha


It couldnt be true, I know that wa my mom, but the man she was with wasnt my dad.

No I just ran and hid, I didnt want to believe it


I am starting my new job tomorrow. I've never been so nervous in my life.

It's a really high paying one to boot - $3/hour. I just don't want to mess it up!


My boyfriend's birthday is coming up and I want to plan a surprise party for him!

Ooh, that's cool! What did you have in mind?

I think I'll get everyone to wait at a restaurant and I'll tell him we're going to dinner and all his friends will be there!

That's a good idea. What restaurant were you thinkin?


I haven't been able to talk to my girlfriend in a few days and it's making me quite sad.

She's in the same city as me, but she's going through a hard time and has decided to seclude herself so I can't reach her.


I had to spank my two-year-old niece today. He wasn't listening and kept doing the same mistake over and over, defying me. I don't like to be physical, and I'm sure others would look down on it, but I didn't feel like I had a choice.

I think the right amount of spanking is OK.  I was spanked as a child and know I deserved it.  Hopefully you didn't take it to far though!

Yeah, I didn't. I try to use it sparingly so that it has more meaning. But he's not even my own child, so it felt wrong in a way. And I also felt like I failed because I couldn't get through to him without doing it.

Don't beat yourself up too much.  Spare the rod, spoil the child.  Your guilt seems to be from what other people might think.  You know if it was necessary or not.


I had no prior experience going ice climbing! This was very strenuous and particular.

I can imagine it was! Wow. Did you enjoy yourself tho?

It was enjoyable! We saw incredible views of the glacier! I wish I had a go-pro filming the experience though.

that would have been so cool! Get one next time if you can. :)


Over the holidays i was visiting my old home town. I rode by my old school and the football stadium still looked the same. Really brought me back.

Nostalgic feelings can be nice! I hope you didn't feel sad

I wasnt too sad. It was just really cool to see.

That's great! Have you moved out of state?


my little brother is my best friend, we always have eachothers backs

That's nice! It's always nice to have a good relationship with your sibling

we used to not get along so well, but now we are like joined at the hip


My friend got a new wrangler, i want one so bad


i felt really good about my change to new york after getting a job

No way! I just moved from NY to FL. You are going to love NY tho, its an awesome state. Congrats on the job!

thank you so much.. i moved from Idaho.. so this is very new to me, all this

Oh yeah sounds like its super new to you especially if you are in the city. I was in the middle of no where so pretty much felt like Idaho where I lived in NY. :p


Last month,finally, after years of working towards it, I was finally promoted into senior management at my job.

Oh that's great! Does it come with a nice raise?

Yes it did, and much better benefits. Seems like I finally got to the end of a very long road.

Do you kind of feel like there's no where else to go?


I'm going to ride a jet ski for the first time this weekend.

Yeah I am excited and yet a bit nervous at the same time. Should be an experience.


My doctor told me to give up caffeine to help calm down my anxiety.

That's really hard to do. I should do the same thing, but I still start my day with a big glass of iced coffee every day. It could help though.

I think it is helping a little, but MAN do I miss that morning cup of coffee.

I can imagine. That is really great that you are able to follow his advice and maybe each day will get a little bit better. Anxiety is the worst!


I'm so excited to go out to dinner tomorrow!

No, we just won't be home so we have to eat out


Omg, the day I found out I was pregnant with my second child was so amazing.

Wow! I can imagine how joyous that feeling must have been!

We had been trying for over a year when it happened. We thought we would never have another one.

Congrats! That would be really stressful. I'm happy it all worked out for you.


I was out with my guy friends last weekend. A girl approached me and wanted my number but I told her no because I have a girlfriend.

Yea I have a great girl. I have no reason to get with other girls.


I have some bad news, unfortunately. Well, bad for me. I was diagnosed with lung cancer.

I am sorry to hear that. How far along is it?

It's stage two. I think I'll be able to beat it because I'm otherwise in great health, and it hasn't metastasized or anything. I just wasn't expecting to have to deal with this incredibly difficult time ahead of me.

Keep a positive attitude. I will be thinking of you!


I can't believe I missed my package delivery. I was home all day! Now I have to go pick it up at the post office

Ugh, that's always the worst. I hope it wasn't something urgent you were waiting on?

No but it's just a hassle to take time and go pick it up... I wish the delivery guy would have knocked

Yeah, I've had them do that to me before too. It's a pain in the keester.


My parents surprised me with a trip up to see me for 4 days. I was so shocked and am so happy they are here!

That's wonderful! I love those 'surprise visit' occassions. Sadly my parents would need to fly across the country to do that and it's just not feasible given my work schedule

My parents are in another country so I haven't seen them for about 3 years.  I wish I had money to go visit them.  Yeah, its a pity that I still have to work too but I got to enjoy them this weekend!

Oh, your situation knocks mine out for sure. That's great that they did that. Traveling is unfortunatly, very expensive


For the last couple years I had a crush on a girl I knew from high school. I saw her recently with her boyfriend.

That must have felt sort of defeating.  There is still hope if there isn't a ring on her finger!

Well it was rough for me to see her with another guy. I was hoping that we could have dated. Now I think about them together and get so jealous.

Try not to feel that way.  If it was meant to be, it would have happened.  There are plenty of other fish in the sea!


Do you live in a bad area or a big city?

Your safe in the woods. Most animals are more scared of you. What scared you?


My hamster got loose in the yard and my neighbors dog ate it.  I can't handle this sadness.

I understand. Those thing happened from time to time.


My electric bill is twice as high as last month

You should check if they raised your rates unexpectedly or maybe something you bought is eating up a lot of electricity.


I was speeding while on my way home from work and I got a ticket. I was only going like two miles over the speed limit!

That stinks but I guess the law is the law. Are you going to fight it?

No I was speeding, but its just stupid that I got a ticket when everyone else around me was speeding too.

I know how that feels but I guess they have to pick someone and it was just your bad luck day. It can always be worse.


I really hate when people can't hold themselves accountable for their own actions and decisions.

I agree. So often does pride get in the way of personal growth and reflection.

Absolutely. Yet, these people have a horrible way of twisting things in order to guilt you, even if you'd done nothing wrong! It's a very manipulating and confusing feeling.

You'd hope folks would grow up, but sometimes people get set in their ways, and become impossible to change.


I've got more sympathy for poor people who are actually trying to improve their situation, than those who are just looking for a handout

Well of course..Like all the drunks and druggies begging for money who won't work on my corner? Most people are poor..and work hard!

Agreed.  It's a common misconception to think all poor people are lazy.  Some just have it rougher than others I know I did coming from a third world country.  But now I'm fully self-employed own my own car rent my own apartment and live life on my own terms

Poor people are the hardest workers in america usually..It's corps that have a HUGE pay gap and the CEOs make ridiculous money while the people keeping the companies don't even make a living wage


I want to ask someone out on a date, but I don't know if I should.

Well, I  feel shy. Also I don't know if she likes me that way.

Well that's the only way you can find out. If she says know there are other girls.


I haven't had a date in 4 years now. My last date was in high school, I'm so alone...

Well there are always bigger fish in the sea trust me.

Thank you, maybe I need to learn to love myself first


After graduating college I was having so much trouble finding a job. A friend of my dad's decided to give me a chance at his business. I was so thankful for the opportunity from him!

He says I'm one of his best employees. I'm hoping he gives me a raise soon though because it's gotten pretty stagnant.

I'm sure it won't be long until your hard work is rewarded


I feel happy to just stay in and watch a movie at home on a Saturday night. I have no desire to go out and party like most people I know do.

I understand that feeling. It wouldn't make sense for us all to want to do the same things, especially if you've partied before already.

Yeah, been there done that. I don't miss those hangovers on Sunday morning. Totally not worth it anymore.

That's cool that you know what you want from life right now and that you don't feel obligated to do things just because of norms.


I just do not like the sauce and too much bread.


I was disgusted when my dog tried to attack another dog

Did the other dog provoke him? I wouldn't stress it too much, its just natural behavior for them, take him to training school.

Not really, but he knows better. I think I will get a trainer.

Oh then yeah, invest in a trainer. I love dogs a lot but an aggressive dog is very dangerous.


After my kids were in school, I decided it was time to do something for me.

I went back to college!  It was quite a bit scary, being in class with kids that just graduated.

That is such a bold move to make.  Congratulations!
