Lately, I was having financial issues. The company that I am working for me is going to pay us bonuses.

That's great. How big is the bonus going to be?

It is about 5 000 dollars. It will help me greatly with my financial problems.


I'm meeting my online girlfriend for the first time this weekend

Wow, that's a huge step. Are you excited?

I am very excited. I hope I don't goof up in front of her!


My pet rock rolled away yesterday. It was a sad day.

I think so. Been thinking about going to the Rockies to find a new one.


it was impressive seeing a guy eat a 3 lbs burger the other day

That is amazing.  He should be on one of those food shows to see how much he can eat.


My four year old daughter came to me beaming with pride and showing me a drawing she did of me.

Isn't that the best!  My 3 year old the same thing!  I couldn't be happier or more proud!

I was really surpised.  I expected a stick figure, but she drew a lot of features including my beard and mustache.


My brother is taking me to church tomorrow. Its a nice gesture from him

That is nice, do you usually go to church?

I do not, but I am looking forward to it

Defenitly, sounds like something that you are your brother can share together and bond!


Being a bit teary-eyed tonight realizing how grown my children are.

In no time at all, they will be out of our house completely.  I guess I'll have to get a dog, I'll be one of those ladies that has a dog stroller and takes the dog to grocery shop!

My oldest only has 3 years to go and I already have dogs! I guess I'll need more


I bought a 20 foot boat. I believe it will be able to handle the large lake that I will be taking it on.

Wow! A 20 foot boat, that must be amazing to take out on the lake! How much did it cost you?

It cost me around $30,000. It has all the latest features, that should keep me safe in all but the most extreme conditions.

Id love to own a boat, are you using it for leisure or fishing etc?

It has been a dream of mine for a long time. I am mainly going to use it for fishing. But might have to take my wife tubing to make her happy.

They both sound like great plans! Tubing would be a great way to keep her happy while you fish haha!

We should have a lot of fun this summer with it! Makes up for all the hard work saving up for it.

I hope you do! It makes you feel like you've actually earned it!


Have you ever had a person who you knew you could trust and go to with anything?

Not really - other than close family - you?

Yeah, I've had crappy girlfriends in the past. But I've been dating one for over a year and its so different- Its one of those when you know you know.


Last time I got really drunk, I told my girlfriend that I thought her best friend was really attractive.

Actually, she wasn't. She knew I was drunk, and she had been talking about involving another partner in the bedroom.

Oh hey! If it works out for you have fun


Left my book bag outside overnight. I live in the south where there's lots of palmetto bugs (cockroaches). Went and got it this morning... it was filled with the things!

Oh yuck! Sounds like a disgusting experience.

Yeah. I just pretty much opened it, flipped out, closed it, then went and got a can of RAID that kills them, and opened it again and went to town! It was like I was possessed and raining bullets on them.

Haha that must have felt a bit satisfying at least. Glad you took care of them.


My brother promised not to tell my parents my secret, and of course he still did.

That was not very nice of him. Did your parents react well?

No, and He really shouldnt have told. He promised me.


I once left my wallet on a bench outside of the airport.

Did you get lucky and some kind person turn it in

I didn't. I was planning to buy my first car the next day and had my down payment in there too. $2000. True story

That is horrible. Just think it could have been worse. You could have wrecked and totaled a car or a house burnt. Lots of things are worse.

It took a while to save the money again, but I lived through it.

Glad for you. A girl I know was walking to her house and a car hit her and killed her. So it's just money and can be replaced

That's terrible. We should all count our blessings.


Thanks, its about time too.  I have't had one in 2 years.


I was hiking the other day and I ran across a dead deer with maggots eating on it. It smelled so bad!

I bet that was disgusting! I would bring a noseplug from now on.

I actually had to hold my nose and run off. Almost ruined my hike.

I love hiking, I can't imagine happening upon something so gross. Would probably ruin my hike as well!


My pet iguana died he was 15 years old..

Wow! Is that old for an iguana? Im sorry to hear that

Not really they can live to be 40 years old. He was nice he loved to just hangout with me and sit on me desk and watch me type.

My daughter wants an iguana. I am scared of animals

They are really sweet  creatures, if you live in a sunny climate they make great pets. One tip is if you want a male get is as young as possible, they have  a hard time forming bounds the older they get

She is . She may be able to handle it on her own. Thanks for the info


Someone was stealing mail out of my mailbox.


I feel pretty bad about some things I have done.

Really? What sort of things have you done that make you feel that way?

I drank a bit too much the other night and accidentally destroyed some things.

That sucks, hopefully nothing you can't replace. I'd suggest getting some help if your drinking has become distructive.


i have a doctor's appointment today and another on thursday. it's really working my nerves

i hope so too. the whole thing has got me unnerved.

Good luck and try to think about something else before then.


Are you looking forward to an event happening then?


I recently was very shocked and happy to find my husband had cleaned the entire house

That was sweet of him!  Were you shocked because that's something that never happens?

Yes! I was out with some friends and have never come home to a house being so clean after an outing with friends!

I guess you need to go out more often so he can keep surprising you.


"I decided I wanted to go to nursing school and that I could get accepted.".

I hope you are accepted. How do you feel as far as your application looked?


The storm is coming, I can hear it with my ears!

I am not. No storm shelter or saved up food. I hope I won't be washed away!

Yeah, I hope you won't either. Maybe find a local shelter?


i pretend to watch scary movies. I always go to sleep

We can sleep when all of the movies come on together!


I'm getting a promotion at work in February.

That is great, I"m sure you've worked very hard for it.

Yes, I have been working toward it for a year.

I'm so glad they are recognizing you for all your efforts.  It feels so nice to be commended for a job well done.


My wife was sick all last week, so I had to stick by her side.

what did she get sick off , im sorry to hear that your a great to your wife

She caught a very bad cold. I brought her soup everyday and tended to her every need.

When i get married i want to be like you , and take care of my loved one


My cat just knocked over the trash and started digging in it.

It was quite annoying. I'm tired of picking up after her.

i feel the same way with my dog sometimes.  always making a mess


My dog pooped on the floor after I let her in the house.

That's a tragedy! What ever did you do?!?!

I told her she was a bad dog and had to clean it up.

Serves her right! These animals can't go around thinking they can poop on our things!


MY kids go so crazy when they have any sugar.

I always hide my sweet whenever I buy any


Have you ever been cliff jumping before?

Yeah me too! I went one time with my friends and I was really scared cause of the heights but I still managed to do it!

Nice, I hope I can overcome my fear one day too!


My 10 year old cat is starting to get sick a lot. I'm worried about her.

Nope, she's been very healthy. She's just getting old.

I'm sorry to hear that. 10 is still very young though so I hope you have plenty of more time to spend with her.


I was always afraid to go to bed at night when I was a kid.

Nope. I always thought there were monsters under the bed.


My cat got spooked by something and jumped over my half wall that I had a candle sitting on top of, and knocked the burning candle onto the ground shattering the glass everywhere and liquid wax flew all over. I dont even know how Im going to clean this up!

Use thinner which is used for painting , i think that ought to do


I ate way too much today. I feel like I let myself down.

I hate that feeling. Hopefully you will feel better about it tomorrow.

It really sucks because I promised myself on Sunday that I would eat more healthy and less. But I already broke that promise, I am ashamed.


I visited New York last weekend, I was amazed.

Wow, I have never been! What all did you see?

Oh cool. What was you favorite thing at the square?


I just bought a lawn mower because mine broke and the grass was getting so long. I barely had it 3 days when my shed was broken into and it was stolen! I'm so irate!

That is terrible. Some people ar just no good.

I know. it really ruins any faith I have in people.  Plus, it was so much money that I had saved for quite a while and now I'm back to square one.  I could explode thinking about it.

I hate that happened to you. I know the feeling too. Someone stole my car from the work parking lot once. I had just soent over 1500 getting things fixed on it.


My Grandma, whom I absolutely love and is the best Grandma, is moving back to my city to live here! I never thought she would but I can't wait!

That's great, what will you do when you first see her?

Give her the biggest hug and help her settle in.  She's going to a wonderful retirement place that is so nice, I wouldn't mind living there right now!

It's nice you have such a good relationship with her!


I'm sorry to hear that. You two were close?

I did the same with mine. I lived with her during the summers and went home when school started back.


I feel bad for forgetting about my mom's birthday

You must feel horrible!  Get her something extra nice and I am sure she will forgive you!

Get her flowers and a gift certificate to a nice massage place!


Are you looking for one, or are you enjoying your singlehood?

I'm lookin'  Good women are hard to come by.

That is true, but they are out there.  Keep looking and you will find one.  Where are you trying to find them?


So I have a big meeting at work tomorrow, which always make me nervous no matter what.

You will be great im sure of it! are you prepared?

Thank you! Yes, I think so. I will just have to overcome nerves and do my best I think.

Just imagine that you are the boss,  or have a few drinks before.


a yukon. it really nice, but I have had my car for forever and I really envy her right now


i was shocked how nice the weather was this morning

How come? Have you had awful weather lately?

not really but it was just especially nice this morning

Oh I see. Beautiful weather is an excellent start to the day!


Today I saw a person screaming at a puppy.

I have no clue but I was really upset about it.


My favorite cake stand that my aunt gave me was stolen.

That's a shame. Do you know who stole it?

Yes, it was a moving company we hired, but I didn't have a way to prove it.


I had a dream the other night about my friends from high school. It brought back all kinds of memories from my teen years and thinking back made me smile.

I told my husband. The dream made me miss my best friend from high school.

You should call your best friend on the telephone!

I actually sent her a message through facebook.

That is sure to make you feel the nostalgic?


I found a poor stray kitten on the side of the road, and I nursed him back to full health. Poor thing.


i've watched a lunar eclipse the other day. i didn't expect it to look that awesome

I saw one for the first time ever too! Where did you see it at?

Russia, i travelled there for business and it looked amazing!! what about you?

I was in the US when I saw it thought it has been a while since it happened.


I used to go out with my girlfriends all the time

That sounds like fun. Do you not go out with them anymore?

They all do couples things now. I am single.

Hey being single isn't that bad! You'll find your soulmate one day when the time is right.


i am so happy the kids are going back to school.

one of them is, the other does not want to return.. oh well.

I hope the one who doesn't want to return at least gets to spend more time with their friends.


My friend is having a baby. What do you think would be a nice gift for a newly expecting mother?

A new mom? Good question, maybe offer to mow their lawn? I don't really know haha

Haha! That's pretty thoughtful, considering they'll be busy with baby stuff! Very creative! Lol. Thanks!

Welcome, and yeah I always disliked mowing the lawn!


I'm so embarrassed. I just ate an entire bag of potato chips in one sitting!

Don't worry, I do that all the time. I love binge eating lol

I just feel guilty. I should have eaten a peach.


It really sucked since I took this girl on a date and she told me it went really well. Well apparently not since she dumped me after.

She said that she wasn't ready for a relationship.


We go school shopping to get ready for school!

I have already done that and it is usually so depressing.

School shopping is great for us. We make sure we have everything.

It's good to get everything you need but I hate school in general.


I'll be getting a promotion in February.

Congrats! What will your new position be?

I'll be a district manager instead of a store manager.


i got cat hair in my food today when eating a sandwich


I'm feeling a bit bummed out since a good friend/co-worker is leaving our company soon.

That's sad, are you throwing them a going away party?

Not exactly, but I do plan on taking them out to a nice dinner.

Well I'm sure they'll like that and I bet they're gonna miss you too.


I went to see Hamilton last month in NYC

Oh the broadway musical? I heard really good reviews of it

It was such a stunning show. Lin manuel should get a grammy for this

Oh yeah, he is such a true genius of our times, he deserves it


I am up way too early this morning, I couldn't sleep at all.

I am full of energy as I am starting a new job today.


I found a terribly beaten dog on the street.

Oh my goodness. That's terrible.  Did you take him to the Vet right away?

No, we actually called animal control first.


I studied all week for my test and im so ready to take it

next week, feeling like it should be easy

That is good, you must of studied a long time.


I got this pizza with 7 toppings and extra cheese. It's heaven.

Because I love Domino's so that's the only pizza I think of!


I have a cut on the bottom of my foot and man is it a nuisance trying to walk.

No, it's just a little cut that needs to heal.


Hm delicious. Do you feel proud of yourself?!


MY oldest made breakfast for everyone for te first day of school

I know. I was expecting her to be dragging behind but she was ready before everyone!


So today I was out to lunch and the waitress was being super nice to me and calling me sweetie and I thought she was being nice to me just to get a tip, but guess what happened

Haha what happened? Did you get her number?

Yea, she asked for me number.  And she just texted me.  She was gorgeous.  I couldn't believe it.

That's awesome! Did you still give her a nice tip though? Lol!


I always have a nice time driving my old truck.


Financial troubles are sometimes the worst! Ugh.

Those are so stressful. Just take it step by step and you can get on track.

You really have to. Luckily, my family was able to help me out and get me back on my feet. It's definitely nice to have people who are willing to help.

That makes all the difference. I am glad you were able to get out of that position.


It's rough getting older. I'm about to be 35 and I've never had a girl friend. I have a couple friends in the same boat as well.

Not even once. I've never done anything intimate with anyone in my life, lol. My friends stress out about it, but I think I've come to just accept that we're not all made to find someone.

It could be that but some of my friends have said that with social media and online dating, it's harder and harder to truly connect with someone. There are a lot of people out there struggling.


my husband gave me his grandmother earrings

I bet that meant a lot to you , and him as well.

Well cherish them, and what they represent, and you will be awesome.


I wish I was smart like Albert Einstein was.

He was certainly very intelligent, you can definitely increase your own knowledge though if you work at it.

What suggestions do you have so increase my knowledge?

Try reading some books or maybe practicing math problems I guess.


I ordered food from Uber Eats and it neve came.

I don't know what happened. It said that it was picked up and then nothing.

After two hours with customer service. I'm still hungry!


Yesterday I was driving down my local highway when suddenly a car pulled right out in front of me!

Yes!  I think I totaled my 1993 little red Corvette!  I am so heartbroken!


Was able to pick up an additional scholarship to help with college tuition for this upcoming semester.. I guess any little bit helps, considering how much student loan debt I'm already in.

That's great! Anything helps as you said, keep trying for more!

Yeah, it's kind of disgusting to see. Like, they send out emails every now and then to break it down what you have in loans so far... and it's not so fun to see the tens of thousands of dollars of debt just peeking at me from around the corner when I finally graduate.

We certainly need to do better as a country to make higher education more affordable.


There is a big storm going on in my town right now!

I don't, it makes me nervous with the strong winds and rain!


I lost my wallet at a store that I frequent near my home.

I didn't. I can't believe no one returned it. Now I have to replace verything

That's such a shame. It really makes you lose your trust in people.


I went to Wendy's and the cashier overcharged me.

I noticed after the fact.  I was so upset about it.


My son experienced stranger anxiety and didn't want to be out in public.

We had to leave the restaurant before everyone could order drinks.


I am so thankful for my wife, and child. I honestly dont know what I would do without them.

Sounds like you have a wonderful family. Some people take it for granted.

They really do.. maybe because they have never had to have it rough. We deff learn from the worst events in our life.

I've had those experiences as well. My family is also very precious to me.


I had a job interview yesterday and it went great, so I'm expecting for them to call soon.

I'm in the same boat. I'm so happy to hear that and I hope you get the job!

Thank you!  I look forward to working for that company because it seems really nice and they pay good salaries.

Companies that pay their workers well equals happy workers!


I love having my kitty snuggling up to me.  I feel so loved!

Funny you say that... my roommate just got a cat about a month ago. I was hesitant to agree to share the apartment with it, as I'm not the most fond of them. But I didn't want to say no. It's actually been an affectionate cat so far.

Cats will make you love animals!   They can be so affectionate.

I suppose so. I've never gravitated towards them. They seem like they only have one personality, and they're either nice or mean, and never warm up to you over time. So, I was a little wary of that.


My son's second birthday is coming up and it has been thinking of when he was born.


A good friend of mine is moving to another city in the other side of the country.

To Seattle, I guess we won't see each other much in the future since I live  in Florida.

That is about as far away as you can move, I am sorry to hear that, hope everything works out!


I'm sure it was, hopefully it's gone for good.


I went to a magic show last week. The magician was really talented.

That's cool.  Was he better than Cris Angel

Oh yeah, definitely. It takes a lot of skill to be able to perform like that.


I had the best weekend! My husband brought a puppy home and seeing him with our son for the first time was so cute!

That sounds adorable! What type of puppy is it?

He is an 8 week old Cane Corso. My son has had such a great time learning how to play with him and teach him things.

That sounds like a great time. I'm sure it's going to be cool to see the puppy grow up along with your son and how their relationship builds.


Oh that is so nice! Was it a special occassion?

No it wasn't and I wasn't expecting it because we are just mutual friends.

That's lovely. I love when people just give small gifts to each other for no reason.


I had a 20 dollar bill in my car and I opened my windows. I couldn't find it so I'm thinking it flew out the window...

Dang, that's quite a large amount of money to lose. Hopefully it went to someone who needs it.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It was in a neighborhood so hopefully some kid found it and can buy something he always wanted.

That would be nice. Maybe he'll go and buy some candy from the candy store.


Sunday will be so fun, I can't wait! We're going on a roadtrip

Sounds amazing! Are you going any place in particular?

We're driving down to the beach, it's been a whil

Beaches are fun! I don't even know the last time I've been to a beach.


Today is my last day working. I am going to miss my coworkers

No I am going to give this whole stay at home mom thing a shot


Have you ever had your heart truly broken?

Yes, when I found out my husband was cheating on me.


My roommate eats my food sometimes. This makes me so angry!

You should get a mini fridge and put it in your room, with a lock on it.

I think that's a great idea. I know where to get those fridges for cheap.


I am so excited for week 1 of the NFL season! Football is my favorite sport.

I love football too! I even catch a lot of the preseason. This is one of the best times of the year. Who are you rooting for?

My favorite team is the Chicago Bears! Haha, I don't have high expectations though. How about you?

I like the ravens and I also don't have high expectations! Haha


I have been researching for a job interview allweek


Rolling down a huge downhill street with no brakes was fun but nervewracking

Whoa!  What were you driving that had no brakes?

I found a bike on the side of the road but didn't test it before coasting down this hill

That sounds quite scary!  Did everything turn out OK?


I forgot to close my zip after using the washroom and I walked into the boardroom unknowingly

Oh no, the dreaded fly being down for the big meeting. How'd it go?

I didn't realize until the meeting was ended

Uh oh. I hope whoever saw it had a little chuckle then let it go. It's no big deal.


I just love halloween. This is going to be the best one yet.

I I do themes with me and my kids. We were all comic book villains last year

Im thinking fast food. Burgers, fries, milkshake lol

That's an interesting theme.  Are you going to make the costumes your self?


I was listening to an old burned CD I found from the early 2000's. It brought back a lot of memories from that time.

I bet it did. I would love to listen to my old cds

I remember be being back in high school listening to some of those songs.


i was upset when i saw my brother pulling up with a brand new BMW

cause he doesnt pay his child support but can buy expensive things like that

Oh, well I wonder how he will pay for that then


I am a drug addict. I robbed a charity organization last week. I feel bad about it.

That's awful! Maybe you can pay them back?

I don't think that I can pay them because I have always money issues due to my addiction.

Oh wow that's tough. Hopefully they don't know it was you at least.


My dog ran away yesterday. I am so distraught.

It is! I don't know if he will come home...

Then it is a little bit scary. Did you try to find him?


Ive just been hanging out with friends and playing games this past week, its been nice

yea it can be nice when i get to do things with them


I remember when I was in my 20's I was so drunk that I accidently went into the womans rest room

No but a lot of people saw me do it and my face went beet red

That's really embarassing! did any of your friends poke fun at you for it?


I am proud of the eagles for winning the superbowl last year

I'm a Boston boy but I gotta give em props

thanks, you beat us in 2005, that broke my heart

People hate on Brady cuz he's been gold since day 1.  But the Eagles came ready on defense that's for sure


I haven't seen my girlfriend in awhile. She told me today she was coming to visit me!

Long distance relationships aren't easy. That's great news to hear. Do you have anything special planned?

Yes we are going to have a date. I am thinking Disney Land!

That sounds like so much fun! I bet you two will have a great time together.


I had to go to child support court last month. What a waste.

Nothing. The other party didn't show up so I missed work for nothing.


My car stalled when I was at a store not long ago.

that's a bummer, i hope it was nothing serious happen to your car

It was nothing too bad.  A man helped me get it started so I could at least get it home.

that is good to hear,  there are always kind people out there to help


My internet service provider cut my internet last week. I was shocked because I didn't miss the payment so I knew it had to be an error.

I think it was an error on their part or the payment delayed. I even paid earlier than the due date because this has happened in the past. Maybe it's time to switch companies.


Thank you. We will probably have to put her down soon.

I know that's gonna to be a terrible loss for the family.


My dishwasher leaked and we had to have our whole kitchen and living redone due to the damages.

That's terrible!  Are you repairing it yourself?

Luckily it was covered by insurance.  However, when our new cupboards arrived the fronts and sides were different colors!

Can they be fixed, or do you have to get different cabinets?


A bunch of my friends met up for dinner recently (I just found out), but I wasn't invited. Not happy about that at all.

Those don't sound like friends. I'd be extremely pissed off!

Exactly. One said they assumed I was busy or out of town, but those sound like excuses to me... Oh well.

Yeah, don't let them lie to you. I don't know them, obviously, but that sounds like an excuse to me too.


I embarassed myself in front my class in high school once.

It is ok. If the teacher was not angry, it should be fine.


my close friend stole from me, im upset!

That's terrible. Did you confront your friend?

no, but i want to. i seen her on my home camea

I'm sorry. I hope you can work things out without too much drama.


When i was younger, my mother would always take away my PC because I would always play video games on them.

Now that I am older though, my girlfriend tries to take away my Pc. Very rough days in my life.

Lol. I take away my daughters now. I guess my mom passed the torch.

Stop doing that, it is very important to have a pc. The internet is the future and very many jobs are opening up online.


My kids wouldn't clean their room yesterday. I was quite displeased.

I shan't! I will put them up for adoption on the morrow!

This is too much of punishment for kids.


I had a bad morning when I went to check my mail.

Oh man...I hate checking the mail..it could be something crappy

Especially when you find your mailbox laying in about 10 pieces after someone knocked it down last night.

Not really. I live in town, but it's a small town.

Then the person might be caught, do you have a camera? That is really crappy of someone! I have seen people put metal or wood pallets next to their mailboxes because of people doing stuff like this

That's a good idea. I might do that. We don't have a camera because we don't normally have any troubles.

It's a good idea to have one just in case. Murders, robberies etc happen even in small/nice towns. Just for your safety


I was happy that I called my mom in time for her birthday this year.  I felt good about myself that I'm a good son who still keeps in touch with his mom.

Aw, that's so nice of you! I bet she appreciated it

Keep doing things like that! Parents appreciate little thoughts like that more than we know


i stated running recently 2 miles a day, the other day i increased it to 3 miles and did not even break a swet i felt really good


My food order today did not turn out as well as I had hoped.

Sorry to hear!  What all did you order?  And what was wrong with it?

Everything was cold. We had burgers and fries. You can't eat cold fries.

Cold fries are the *worst* b/c the potatoes are just gross at that point.  Did you get your money back, at least?

Oh bless your heart!  I'm sorry to hear!  I'd have returned it and gotten the whole meal free for the cold messed up fries!

Well it was a delivery do we would have had to wait another hour. I did complain though

That's good! Hopefully you'll be compensated in some way for the fries.  Ugh, cold fries!  You're way nicer about it than I would have been.


I heard a loud bang outside my house recently and thought someone was trying to break in.

It was just someone shooting fireworks for some reason.

That's a relief. Fireworks aren't illegal where you are?


My wife has been very sick for the last 12 years and is finally feeling better and I am so happy!

Whoa! That's incredible. What caused the change, finally?

We changed our diet to completely plant based food and in 2 months she turned a corner!

I've heard about people doing that... Man, it's incredible how much your diet can affect you. I'm really happy for you guys.


I start a new job tomorrow. I'm feeling really good about it.

You are so lucky, and must be really excited!

Can't wait. I hated my old job so much. Nothing can be worse than the managment at that old place.

I wish you the very best and much success. I hope it's a million times better than your old job.


everytime i i hear metallicas and justice for all album, im reminded of high school

yes i was. a heavy metal band. i played guitar

I bet it was fun, how is your hearing now?


I'm so sorry to hear that. Were you able to be there when she passed?

Sometimes you don't know when they'll pass unfortunately. I hope you take some time to grive.


I'm waiting to hear back from a few colleges about scholarships.

Oh, I hope you get some good news. I am sure it would help you getting aid for college.

Yes, I think my stats are good. I'm hopeful there will be some good news soon.

All you can do is be patient and see what happens. I am sure everything will work out for you.


I am bummed out today. I failed a big test and my co-worker passed.

A little.. I mean it was an English test.. I know English. LOL


I now have a new boss, and today was my first day of a leadership meeting with him.  You never know how you will be received.

Oh man, that's so nerve-wracking. Do you think you guys will be a good fit?

He spent some time laying out his beliefs and his expectations, and I have to say, I agreed with all but one of them.  That's pretty good.  He spent a lot of time watching the rest of us interact with each other, so I think he is trying to feel us out without making judgments yet.

Then it sounds like at least he has some perspective and ability to know not to overreact. I guess you could say you lucked out, but that may be me speaking too prematurely


I was playing a board game with a few friends and I ended up spilling my entire drink all over the table.

That does not sound good. It must have been so embarrassing!


I really dislike people that don't have kindness and have hate in their hearts.

I SO agree. I would not want to live like that. And it's one thing if they're only affecting themselves -- but when it's aimed at others -- the worst.

I know!.My brother's sister is a very negative person who dislikes a lot of people for no reason!

Isn't that weird? I mean it takes *energy* to be that negative! Does your brother feel that too? Or just can't/won't see it?


I got caught stealing food once when I was young and broke, traveling on a Greyhound. I felt awful about it.

I was caught stealing once when I was younger. It was so embarassing, never did it again.

I know, I felt the same, it's not good to do.


I had to cancel lunch this morning with a relative. I still feel bad about it

Aw, I hate it when that happens, but I bet the relative understands.  Sometimes things come up.

They've probably been on the other side of this situation before.


I walked my dog outside, and she still pooped in the house! Ugh.

I am familiar with that.  That is frustrating.

Yeah...Even though I take her outside, 10 minutes later, she'll poop or pee in the house. Why!?

I ask myself the same thing.  Sometimes I think they get mad at something we do.


it always makes me a little angry or a little down , when i see young people begging for money on facebook groups ... like dude get a job

Yeah, i feel some are just picky on what job they want to have

just get a job , does it even matter grow up and contribute


I had to give a presentation in front of my college class and it didn't go so well.

Oh no! I hate speaking in front of crowds. What happened?

There was a lot of stuttering and red-face going on. Also, technical difficulties.

I know you probably feel like you did a bad job- but I bet you did so much better than you think! Be proud of yourself for having the nerve to speak in front of others!


I stayed up all night studying and im sure i passed my final

Congrats! It's great to pass your test. Though staying up all night to study may not be the best studying technique.

That's good. I try to study well in advance. But I find it hard to actually motivate myself.


I'm excited to graduate college and start my career soon! I have a feeling that my life will get much better once I do.

Ooh, congratulations! I'll be graduating soon too. What's your major?

I'm an Engineering major, electrical engineering specifically. And yourself?

That's very cool. My dad's an electrical engineer, actually. I'm a cybersecurity major myself.


I played a game of poker with a friend who had no idea what he was doing. I won about $100 from him that night.

You are probably right! I felt bad when I was spending the money. I hope he didn't really need it.

I would've too, but sometimes people need to learn a lesson.


My co-worker managed to grab the promotion that I was gunning for all year long.

Well that's disappointing. Have you been working there longer then your co-worker?

I have - I was so jealous. Well, maybe if I work hard over the next year I'll manage to get it.


I am depressed most of the time. Im going to therapy and taking meds. I feel like im broken

Oh I'm sorry that you are going through that. Have you discussed changing your medication up with your doctor?

We have changed it multiple times and nothing is really working. Its so frustrating. I just want myself back and I cant have him

I hope one day you can find a solution and get back to being the old you.


I'm supposed to be on a diet, but today I ate a bunch of Hershey's Kisses.

Ah, couldn't resist? Just make up and eat well tomorrow!

Absolutely. I don't know why I even have them in the house.


My mothers, I was playing with my beyblade and it shot off and smashed it.

Ah man, that's a bummer, hopefully she isn't too mad and will forgive you!


Wow! That's exciting! Was it what you were looking for?

It was! It is the perfect place on the outside of town.

That's great. Congrats on your home purchase!


I was nervous about an upcoming job interview recently, I bought a new outfit and got a haircut to make myself feel better.

Do you feel any less nervous?  Job interviews are always nerve-wracking

Yea, it made me feel better about myself and my chances, or maybe i just like spending money

Either way, as long as you feel a little bit better it was worth it.  I'm sure you'll do great!


we changed our internet provider last week and the connection is horrible.

That's not good, we ended up lucky with who we have

Maybe you can find another one or go back to your previous company. Have you double checked with the company to make sure everything is ok?


I was proud when my toddler randomly said 'fries' out loud when he smelled them! Talking has been a process for him as he was born early with some problems. I was so proud that he was able to identify an object with its smell

Cool. I still get excited when my kids say new words.


The mummies at my local art museum are amazing! One that I saw was from the Roman Era.

Wow that really old but not too old for mummies considering.

Right. I had no idea their usage stretched such a long time period.

Haha yea seems like it would be really cool to see in person.


I am trying to sell my house for 89k dollars, I have been in a bad financial situation, my nephew knows it, and now he is trying to buy my house just for 75k, trying to take advance of my situation

Wow, that's terrible. Why would he do that to you?

I have no idea, I guess his husband is evil

I'm sorry you're having to go through that, I hope you're able to sell the home for a better price.

me too, and do you know what makes me mad?  When I had a good job, I helped them a lot, and now they are trying to do this to me

That's just terrible. Some people really are ungrateful.

I know, right? My own nephew trying to do this with me

Well, hopefully he'll learn to be a better person someday, or eventually his actions will come back to haunt him.


I put a deposit down on a dog, but it died before I could pick it up.  I was so sad.

That's pretty heavy. I hope that doesn't discourage you from trying again in the future, especially with a rescue dog or something in that area. If you don't mind me asking, what happened?

It got distemper and couldn't shake it.  I will buy another one some day.  I think I need a little time though.

I had never heard of that before. That sounds like tragic timing. And you're right, I probably shouldn't have brought up getting another one so soon, it just sounded like you'd be a good owner, since you seem like you care so much. It makes sense for you to not rush right back into it.


I didnt cheat on my diet even tho I was tempted at a party yesterday...

Food is the worst too because all that junk food is all around us.


my wife is always there for me, so i trust her more than anybody and i dont want to have any friends otehr than her, she is my faith

That's really nice, however, to keep the marriage fresh and strong, I think it's important for you to have outside friends.

that's only normie talk, we are both introverted and we hate people

Haha, well I do know the feeling. I guess if it works for you, then don't change anything.


My family cosigned my mortgage loan, because my credit wasn't good enough

That's a very supportive family you have.  I'm right there with you on the credit, mine is not too good.

Thanks for understanding.Yes, I luckily have a great family.

Make sure you tell them you love them when you see them next! :)


I bought lots of snacks for the kids lunches this month

Well not really. Ive eaten about half of them. I feel terribel

I know I shoudve have. Next time I will buy snacks I dont like


My brother last month got a brand new computer.

That is nice. What kind of computer did he get?

Something that is super fast, I really wish I would have gotten one.

I wish I had a better computer. Why do they have to cost so much?


The future looks bright though right now things are not going as i had planned

What are you going to do to change that?

Keep doing my best in whatever i do. I'm sure all shall be well.

Keep your head up high, good positive thinking.


Yes, she didn't even give me a reason why.

That must be tough.  Do you have supportive friends to help you through this tough time?


I got contacted about a new job this afternoon

That is pretty good news! What kind of job is it for?

Another IT job.   The real question is, is the money there.

Everyone needs a IT guy though so probably.


Our coworker who has been with us for over 20 years just quit out of the blue.

Oh no, I hate to heart that. I hope everything is okay.

I hope so as well. We're all waiting to hear back from her.


I participate in crossfit competitions. I have been training hard and feel really good about my ability to place.

That's probably great for your body and fitness.

It is.  I am in the best shape of my life and feel like I can do anything!

That's great. Keep up the wonderful work. Do you diet well too?


Lately, I got the best grades in my class at university. I am so happy

Good job! A good education is great for your future.

I hope so even if it is not always true.

It is very much worth it in the long run.


I rode on an airplane last week and there was so much turbulence!

I bet that was frightening and nerve racking.


today I think today is a day to learn, to hug, to smile, to make someone happy

Yes, realistically I wish it were possible to do that everyday but general stresses of life get in the way

that's right ... but I dedicate an hour to do that, to my children I kiss them, my neighbor smiled at him and from life I try to learn something

Maybe thats a good idea, to try and set aside a small amount of time a day to do it instead of trying to do it all the time along with everything else going on. Good idea!


My wife was working yesterday, but she ended up taking the rest of the day off to spend time with me! I was shocked.

That sounds lovely. Did yall make it a special day to remember?

We did! We went out for lunch and hung out on the beach. It was very relaxing and a nice change.

That sounds fantastic. Im sure you guys will remember that day for a while. What a nice surprise.


College football officially starts tomorrow.

Whoop Whoop! Thanks for reminding me. I have to purchase youtube live for it.

Nice! I asdly am a corn husker. it's been a rough couple of years.


I've been seeing someone on line for over 2 decades.  I finally got the chance to meet them in person and took a 29 hour bus ride to another part of the US to finally meet them.

I live with her now.  In fact she's sitting right next to me this very moment.

That is so cool. I'm glad you found your soulmate!


I really like summer time and going to the beach

I do too! Love going out and swimming in the ocean. Why do you like going?

I like to relax by the water, sometimes I like to go on a boat, but it gets a little pricey

I love doing that too and the price is totally worth it.


I'm so made at George Lucas. How could he think something like the Phantom Menace would be a good idea for a movie!

it made him a ton of money so i think thats all that mattered to him at that point cause i agree it was crap.

I don't know I like to think he is better than that.

that was back then when he was trying to do something great, the drive isnt there when you have already done it


My grandmother was diagnosed with stage four cancer. I feel helpless.

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that. That is awful and makes me sad. Have you talked to anyone about it?

I have spoken to our minister about the situation. It's hard to watch her go through this and there isn't much I can do. I can just love and take care of her.

That's what you need to focus on is just giving her all of your love, she will cherish it. I'm so sorry you're going through this, I hope that you can find peace with the situation.

Thank you for the kind words. It gives me hope for the future.

I am glad, I hope you have a great day today!


My boss told me about a potential job opportunity and I've been waiting to hear if it's going to happen

A little bit. I am mostly excited about it though

that's good! excitement and nervousness are both the same, so it's very hard to tell, but it's amazing you are able to convert all the bad feelings into positive ones! good luck


I love to go for nice long walks in the park with my dog.

Nice, how long do you usually take your dog for a walk?

When we are walking we sometimes go for about an hour.


One of my friends managed to pay off their first house at the age of 25.

Yeah I know, I'm really amazed and proud of him. To be honest as proud as I am I can't help but to be a little jealous too lol.

Understandable, i bet the had good budgeting skills and a nice job.


I had such a sweet little parakeet and i was always letting him fly in the house. One day i opened the window and i totally forgot my bird was out of the cage and he flew away

no, i even put the cage outside and i was hoping he will come back but he didn't. I'm so sad, he was such a sweet little guy

I am sorry to hear that.  Maybe he will find his way back home some day.


A few days ago my brothers house got broken into they took everything he had, and on top of that they started breaking the walls for no reason , i was furious

thats a shame! did he get any of it back?

he got everything back we found out who took it , we called the cops and they did not even arrest the lady since she allowed my brother to get his stuff, back she denied any involvement and the cops said she was cooperating

thats good, my house was also broken in to


You know, thinking about it. I don't think I've ever had a honey bun...

OMG! Actually I didn't have any yesterday and they are all gone!! My kids are the worst

Wow, that sucks. I bet you are so disappointed...


My sister kept playing a few seconds of a song over and over again on her laptop last night. Now it's stuck in my head.

That's so annoying.  I hate it when that happens.

Can you block her out, maybe?  Get some noise blocking headphones?


i am happy that the kids return to school next week


One time I had a flat tire and my dad came to help me fix it.

Oh no! Glad your dad was able to help. How did it happen?

I ran over a nail in the road.  Now I know not to drive near new houses.

That's some bad luck. I hope it wasn't too much of a hassle.


Today was one of those days where I almost lost it on someone.

Im glad you didn't.  Do you have these days often?

I got a new car just a couple of weeks ago and today I was sitting at a red light and some guy came really close to hitting me.  Like he stopped only a few inches away.

Honestly I would have freaked out.  I cant stand bad drivers!!


I was really proud of my sister when she graduated

I bet you were. That is a great accomplishment!


once I fell on a nail, And my leg was cut wide open I could see deep into my leg.

Oh man that sounds horrible. I would probably faint.

I almost did actually,  I had to just look away and pretend nothing happened!


I get so annoyed when it rains I had plans for a family cookout but it started thundering and lightening such a bummer.

Oh no that is a total bummer. It's especially common in the summer months.

Yes it's the worse especially in Florida it's sunny one day and pouring down raining the next.

Oh right, I spent some time in Florida when I was younger and I remember it being so unpredictable. Just gotta keep an umbrella all the time lol.


Since I broke up with my girlfriend, I feel bad been alone.

First Im sorry for your heartbreak, but second... its okay to be alone to let the feelings pass. How long has it been?

It is recent. It has been two months now.

sounds like its time to get out and start doing something to take your mind off from it. maybe fitness?


I saw a horror film last night! It was such a scary experience!

A young girl would come out of the TV if you watched a video.

creepy.  Were you able to fall asleep after watching it?


My daughter s so thoughtful. She hugs me daily before I leave for work.

That's very sweet. My daughters do that too.

It's so sweet of them isn't it? She also brings me tea and coffee sometimes.

Yes, it is. They can be very helpful when they want to be.


My husband told me last year that he wanted a divorce.

Sorry to hear that how did things turn out did you two make it work or going through the process now?

Well, he didn't have a real reason honestly - just said he wasn't happy.  But it's a  year later and he's still here so - LOL!

He has to be happy if he still there marriage is important and he has to be open in communication with you instead of pulling the divorce card.


I was following this sad story about a missing kid just trying to be optimistic that they'd find them.

Oh that's great! I tend to follow some missing children stories closely but I hate when there's a sad outcome


I've never been a person of faith. My parents weren't either.


I had to go to Walmart the other day to get my nephew a birthday present, he wanted Legos!

I love Legos! They have gotten expensive though.

They really have!  I was standing in the aisle looking at all the options and it just hit me, I don't have Legos all over my living room floor anymore.  Talk about crying in the middle of Walmart because your kids have outgrown Legos!

Yeah, thinking about old toys makes me somewhat sad.


Why she want to divorce? Did she tell you?


I am looking forward to moving into a easy place to take care of.

No, not moving soon, only wanting to and looking around to see what is affordable.

I hope you find something that you like and are happy with. Its really important to be happy with where you live.


I saw a grown woman pick her nose and eat it earlier.

Okay, so I never understood why people ate it. What is it about it that makes them want to do that? I just flicked mine. And I thought it stopped at a child's age. Really interesting.

I was so grossed out by it.  I think it has to be a oral fixation or something like that.

I've heard of oral fixations before, but only in the context of like chewing fingernails and smoking cigarettes, etc. But I guess if I think about it, a lot of people chew fingernails, and I'm sure that's just as bad bacteria-wise. Maybe the booger eaters are on to something.


I am counting the days until I go on vacation. I can't wait! I am going to Europe for a month.

wow that is awesome are you staying at a friends house?

No.  I am staying at a hotel in Rome.  I don't know anyone there.

wow are you looking forward to seeing the coliseum ?


I know I am late to the party but I am finally going to the cinema to watch the new Avengers movie tonight.

Congrats! that sounds like a good movie!

It got great reviews so I am really excited to see it!

I saw it, and it was a good  movie, i dont usually watch marvel films


That's such a great accomplishment and such a relief at the same time. What was your major?

Communications. It was a little tough but not engineering tough!

I totally get that. I majored in business but sometimes I wish I majored in engineering. I'm kind of glad I didn't though. It's hard!


Have you ever worked so hard, years for one moment that define the rest of your life?

I sort of have. I worked like crazy to get a work visa for the US, so I could be with the person I wanted to spend my life with. It paid off, so I can kind of understand what you're saying.

Scotland. It's quite a process getting in here, despite what some people try to tell you! What happened with you?


When my Grandmother passed away, it was really hard for me.

Oh my goodness I bet! I am sorry to hear that you went through that.

I was really worried about my Grandfather, but I think he has finally accepted her death and moved on.

Well that is definitely good to hear. It must be so hard to go that long as somebody's "side kick" and lose them.


What do you have against the ole waterbug?

They are bugs, huge, and they fly. One crawled over my foot at my grandmas house over the weekend.

That is terrifying indeed! I hoped you swatted that beast with the biggest fly swatter available.


I'm pretty mad about the fact my internet bill went up 40 dollars out of no where

Woah that's nuts! Have you called to complain?

Yeah, I have been on the phone with them all day.  They said it was part of the contract!


I am sitting here and guessing when will the wi-fi stop working.

Oh no, I hate having connectivity problems! Are you having bad weather?

Oh, it has been raining here a lot too. I will keep my fingers crossed that your wi-fi keeps working!


My dog is getting really old. He's always been there for me, so I'm going to take care of this little guy as best I can in his last days.

I'm sorry to hear that but he is lucky to have you.

It's ok. I am lucky to have him as well.

Yes you are, I'm sorry to hear about you losing them.


My girlfriend gave me a box of chocolates the other day. I thought it was so sweet of her.

That's really nice of her!  Was there a special occasion or anything?

Nope! It was just because. It made me feel like she really loved me.

Dang, kind of reminds me I should probably do something nice for my wife...


I was so terrified, but I went skydiving a few weeks ago!

Oh wow! Are you afraid of heights at all?

I'm deathly afraid of heights! I'm so glad I was able to overcome my fear because it was a great experience!

That's great! Maybe I should conquer my fear of heights that way, too!


I cried when the Leafs lost in the playoffs.


I freaking dropped my coffee on the ground this morning

I hear you! I drop things all the time. Was it one you just bought?

Yes.  And to make it even worse I soaked myself!


I just found out that my husband has been spending time with his old girlfriend.

Oh snap! That is not a good thing to hear about.

No, it's not. I don't know what I'm going to do but I sure am angry at him.

Well probably should confront him and if he's lying get rid of him.


Traffic was hard tonight. It was so irritating

I completely understand.  I get pretty aggravated myself driving home from work everynight.

It takes me almost an hour to get home through traffic.


My parents planned a welcoming party for me when I returned from college without telling me!

Oh that's nice of them!  I hope you had a good time at the party!

I did! I met my old friends and drank wine all night. It was a nice surprise.

Ooo wine, a classy bunch of folk you are!


You know how FB will show you memories from years ago?

Nah, it depends on how you use it..I use it to help pets and buy local items..also to keep in touch with people who live far away.  It's showed me a few that made me think of my pets who have passed and how much I miss times with them.


i had the worst meal at a new restaurant today

it was a chicken dish, was still pink on the inside.i took one bit out of it


A few weeks ago, I was walking through my hallway, minding my own business, when all of a sudden a hand reached out from under a table and grabbed my ankle. I was so suprised. I thought i was got. Turns out, it was my son.

That's funny, hope he didn't give you a heart attack.

I may have let out a scream that will have him question my manhood for the rest of our lives, lol.


For the first time in my life I am financially secure, have my own home, and a new car.

That is a good place to be.  Are you happy with your job?

Yes I feel content that I am in the right place. I hope it only gets better from here.


I went through something horrible when I discovered that my parents were messing around with the family's money in a bad way

I am sorry to hear that, what were they doing with the money?

Taking funds from the main account and diverting them to some secret ones

I bet you were very angry with them over this.


hey... i just found out i didnt get the promotion i thought i was getting

Oh well maybe you'll get your blessings in a different way you didn't expect

thanks i hope so!!! another one of my coworkers got it... and i was sure it was going to be me!!!

It's cool, I got fired from my old job 5 months ago...only to upgrade to a self-employed lifestyle, making 2000 a week and hot chicks coming in and out of my apartment every night lol


That's awesome. How long are you guys going to be there?


I am cooking dinner for my boyfriend for the first time tomorrow

Something yummy I'm sure. Are you nervous?

Im going to make chicken parm. IT one dish I do well

Yikes, I'm not sure that will match well with Chicken Parm.


that is lucky do you talk much in class?

well you probably should start paying much attetion if you dont want to risk it


I got a foreclosure notice from the bank. I am preparing myself to move out from my home. I am trying my best to loose less money as possible.

Oh no! I hate to hear that! Have you found another place yet?

I am looking and I am trying at the same time to find the best buyer to be able to recover some of the money.

Well I think you'll be able to sell it for a good price.


We had a huge storm the other day and it was extremely loud, very dark.

Storms can be quite scary! Is it over now?

Thankfully yes and you are right it was quite scary at the moment!

Hopefully, that's the last storm for a while.


My father in law is coming to visit for a whole week and staying at our house!

That's awesome! How long has it been since you've seen him?

Not long enough! I am totally dreading it. He does not like me and he is so rude.

Oh, that sucks then. I hope you guys get along and squash beef?


Someone tried to break into my house last week when I was home!

Yeah it sure was. I was so scared I didn't know what to do.


my favorite show tv is being canceled ! i already hate the idea if it :(

no..haha.its an obscure show called "what in the word" a quirky British comedy sitcom

I need to look it up, never heard of it.


I was stoked when I got my first XBOX 360 for Christmas as a teenager.  Now I don't even play video games

I like a lot COD. It is one of my favorites.


I have a hard time with my anxiety sometimes and I will be alone a lot this weekend. I don't like free time, I like to stay busy so I don't think much.

I understand. Did you try getting out with friends?

I don't trust a lot of people. I do like being alone sometimes but if not then I just want to be with someone I trust- They are not always available.


I go on vacation tomorrow.. I hope I packed everything I need


My mother is looking for a better job, since not only are her two current jobs really bad but we also need more household income.

Oh wow im the same, i hope she gets it, its really stressful

I know, especially since the job she applied for pays more than her two current jobs combined.

yea its a really big deal if it goes through, I hope you guys succeed.


Yesterday, I was in a situation where I had to stand up for myself.

What happened that made you have to do that?

Just some drunken guy, tried to attack me.


I received a promotion and while I didn't expect it, it is much needed and appreciated!

unexpected is even better than expected! congrats!


I love seeing all the kids excited about school starting again.

It is always such an exciting time for them. So many new things to discover.

Especially the elementary kids. I want them to love school forever. That's a pipe dream.

If they get a really good teacher it can instill a love of learning that will stay with them.


So an online payment distributor company won't instantly verify my bank account even though the login info is correct. Feels bad man.

That sucks. Did they give you any reason why they won't verify it?

Nope. I even double checked the login info and signed into my bank's website no problem. I feel a bit let down.

Well, I hope they can get you taken care of soon. I know I hate it when I can't get to my money I have online.


I'm going to eat sushi for the first time this coming weekend.

Yum! Sushi is so good, I'm sure you'll enjoy it! I like the eel roll and spicy tuna roll.

Thanks for the recommendations! I'm a bit nervous about it, but I hope I will enjoy it.

I'm sure you will! Maybe start with a simple roll like the california roll or ask the waitress for recomendations.


It's always a shock finding dried poop hidden away in my apartment. My dog is so sneaky!!!

Not too big but you should see the size of the poop.


My family said they were going to be coming in for a visit. I really wanted to see them and thought there was a good chance they would come!

Yes! It was so wonderful to see them because we have a small family, and I just love visiting.

I enjoy visiting with my family too.  Unfortunately, I don't get to see them that often.  But when we do, I have a lot of fun.  Did you do anything special?


I know I shouldnt be scared this young of death but I am.

Do you have a past traumatic experience?

My mom and dad both died from health issues when they were not very old.

Sorry to hear that.  I'm positive you'll be smart about your lifestyle choices though


I baked a cake for my boyfriend's birthday and it turned out to be so delicious! He was so excited.

Mmm, now you're making me hungry for cake. What kind of cake was it?

Black forest cake! It happens to be both our favorite kind of cake. I made it from scratch. What's your favorite cake?

Personally I'm a huge fan of red velvet, but black forest is amazing too!


My children ask me so many questions every day

The most question are asked when I'm talking to someone else. does that happen to you too/

Sure does. I think they get a little jealous and just want our attention. They're also very curious about the world, which is a good thing!


My brother graduated high school, I was very proud of him!

I know that feel, my brother graduated a year ago, it's a really big milestone.

It is, somewhat common, but still, I am proud of him all the same!

Yes I agree, it really signifies the start of their next chapter in life.


I really like the new stadium my school built.

That sounds great, it's always nice to have a new place to play like that!

Yes, it is beautiful and a fun place to watch games.


Oh no. Sorry to hear that. IS it different now?

Yes, it is. I've got a family of my own now, but it's hard getting used to.

Be patient and things will fall into place. You'll be fine.


I've been getting really bad headaches recently

Headaches really suck, I'm so sorry to hear that. Any idea why you've been getting bad ones?

No clue, maybe it's the lack of sleep? Or maybe I've been in front of my computer for too long

It could be. Also may be related to dehydration, and eye strain related to visual problems. Try and drink more water and have your eyes checked to be sure!


My friend told me that she has a crush on me.

I don't know yet. Kinda need some time to process this.


They leave trash everywhere and so do their guests.

That is so gross, tell them to clean up after themselves?


i was excited when i got approved for my vacation


My wife is pregnant with our first child. I can't wait to see this baby for the first time!

Thank you!  I don't know yet if it will be a boy or a girl, but I really don't care either way, I'm just excited.


I really appreciate all my friends I have.

Friends are so useful and nice to have on happy and sad days.

Yes, I prefer them on the happy days thou

Same here for sure but they make gloomy days a lot better.


I believe in my abilities more now, i am surprised but today i managed to write amazing 3 line code to do the base 64 decode process

that is great! I'm also learning to write code.

HTML/CSS/Java. I'm excited about a career change.


I couldn't sleep on Christmas eve. I was ready to see my daughter's face when she woke up in the morning.

i bet she was so excited!! Did she love her presents?

Yeah she did, but I guess I was looking forward to it more than she was.

that was me last christmas lol my son was only 9 months old but i bought so many presents and i was so excited to see his reaction


I felt very proud of my mom when she put herself aside to be a caregiver for others.

They take care of others. Its like being a nurse to others in ways they need but in your own home


My dog peed all over the fresh, funky socks that I just purchased.

No, unfortunately the store wouldn't take them back. As punishment, I am forcing my dog to wear the socks.


My sister who was my best friend passed away.

thank you. Now I dont have anyone really to talk to or do things with.

Have you ever tried writing? That's what I do


I was upset when I found out my new job does not have paid lunches, I was hoping they would be

No, like I get paid to take a lunch break, still getting my hourly wage for the hour I eat


i cut someone off in traffic the other day and it felt bad

Those kind of thing happened from time to time.


I've been working hard to meet my work goals this summer.

It was to earn a certain amount of money.

Ah I see. It's always nice to have a goal to work towards.


i was up set when i saw someone had put a dent in my car door

it was in a store parking lot .. dont even know who did it


I can't wait to try out my new gold club!

Oh, I meant to say golf, sorry! That makes more sense now, huh?


I had my transmission fluid changed today. Hope I did the right thing.

Afterwards I thought I heard in the past that it has to be done very carefully. Can't remember exactly.


I remember when I was a child and I was told that I would need glasses in order to be able to see the whiteboard in the classroom and do good in school. I was so upset because I felt that the glasses made me look ugly. I was so upset. However, my classmates really made me feel better about it.

Yeah, glasses suck but, so does not being able to see. Good that your class mates are nice people.

Yes, it was a really big deal in the second grade, but none the less I realized that it would just be getting worse so I got used to the idea. And it did, get much worse. Lol

Yep, I've got terrible eyes. I know what you mean.


I agree, the writing part is easy part, but the speaking part is the worst!

Yeah, it seems like the learning curve is impossible! Maybe I just need more life experience

Maybe so, they say to imagine the crowd naked, but I don't think that helps too much with the writing part.


Thanks I know! There's nothing more I could even ask for at this point.

I'm sure it took a lot of hard work to get to that point!


I got some pretty horrible news recently. I've been diagnosed HIV positive. I'm just...lost...

I'm so sorry!  Don't lose hope though. I know some science based nutrition that helps you overcome and kill it going high nutrition plant based vegan.  Look up Dr. Joel Furhman.  It'll save you from all the meds that hurt your body.

I might look into that, thank you for being supportive. I know it's nowhere near a death sentence anymore, it's just there are so many questions. Can I have kids, is a big one.

I know it must be overwhelming you but coming from someone that is fighting chronic epstein barr virus and Lupus, it will change your life.  Check out HIV and going vegan on youtube and thebody,com and so many other resources.  You might be able to reverse it and it wouldn't even be a concern for having kids.  You take care and have hope!


My dog pooped on the rug yesterday. I was so grossed out cleaning it up.

Ewwwwwwwww! Was it a runny poop or a solid poop?

Thankfully it was solid. I would have died if it was runny and all over the place.

Yeah I would have totally done the same. That's why I don't want a dog lol!


i am pleased with the day im having today

Glad to hear you are having a good day. Wish every day was like that.

me too but we wouldnt appreciate the good days if it werent for the bad

That is true. It puts things in context.


i loved taking care of my sisters pet the other day

My kids want one of those, but we have to wait until the youngest is old enough. So cute!


i was hoping to be able to go visit family soon but i don't think it's going to happen

I'm with you on that one, especially if it requires flying. No way can I afford that.


I'm so excitied about going to my friend's big party tomorrow night! I really can't wait!

Parties are so much fun! Are you celebrating anything special, or is the party just a get together?

No it's just a get together. Maybe a mid summer celebration :)

Sounds like a good time! Have fun at the party!


I was surprised at how creative and fleshed out the "Fight Club" characters were on screen...especially after finding out the script was originally a vague short story.

Oh man, Fight Club is a great movie! I just recently saw it myself and was really surprised too.

Nice yeah I love how at the beginning there are foreshadowing images of Tyler flashing in and out of frame...pretty unique style of filming

I agree, that movie is definitely ahead of it's time!


Have you ever heard a song on the radio and it just takes you back to a different time? Like an escape?

All the time.  That is part of listening to music I suppose.  The songs remind you of when you first heard them.

Yeah, I guess that's fair. It happens all the time to me too. Sometimes makes me wish I was reliving those moments but I don't think I would really want to go back..

I know what you mean.  However, the older I get the more I want to go back LOL.


My son placed third in his jiu-jitsu competition. He surprised me with how well he did

That sounds awesome. It's important for kids to know self defense and also to be active so all boxes are checked.

It was only his second competition.  He did a lot better than I expected

I may have to encourage some of my family to pick up martial arts. We never delved to the high levels and I see a lot pf value in the teachings.


I am happy with my cooking skills, I make great seafood dishes

I love seafood! What kind of seafood dishes?

I love crab and shrimp, so I like to make those. But I also make really yummy fish

Awesome! Cooking can be pretty hard and it's an essential skill to have.


I put my dog in dog classes so he would learn to behave. He didn't like it at first but started to make progress.

A blue heeler. Well eventually he graduated and was the top dog of his class. I am beaming with pride at his accomplishments!

I have never in my life heard of that breed before.  I'll look it up.  That is really cool I have 3 crazy untrained minpin


I get very depressed seeing roadkill when driving. Such a sad way to go.

Have you seen any recently? It is really sad, what gets me the most is hearing about black bears being hit.

Yes, I saw one this morning. It was rotting and crows were feeding on it, so sad...

Poor thing, it's not fair! Drivers need to watch out!


I was watching my favorite tv show and my husband kept talking to me during it.

oh that can be annoying, did you tell him anything?

I just gave him a look. The thing is he says I do that instead of waiting til commercial, but then he goes and does it to me.

hahah that's kinda funny. Maybe he just missed you!


I was content the other day while watching my kids play at the park.


The last interview I went to, I studied the company, as well as the role. I felt like I had all the info I needed to succeed

Did you get the job? Or you're still waiting on the response?

I did get the job - the company were really impressed with my knowledge of what they did, and my enthusiasm for the role

You must be really proud of yourself. That sounds really fulfilling!


My husband and I went to dinner tonight and were looking at pictures of our kids when they were really little.

They are 18 and almost 16, they say the days go by so slow but the years fly by - and they are right.  I can't believe they are not that little anymore.

This is true for me as well, I have a 17 and 19 years old. I can't believe it, and just turned 40 on the 5th.


I was afraid when i went home alone the other day

going home in the dark.. live in a wooded area


My neighbor woke me up this weekend mowing his lawn at 5am.

That sounds really frustrating! Who mows their lawn that early holy cow!

I have no idea. I was pissed because I went to ask him to stop and he just ignored me.


The part of the project that we had been working on and that was very crucial, i completed it successfully, all on my own. I hope my manager would notice and promote me

I am very optimistic and hope my efforts would not go unnoticed into nothingness

It is always a good thing to stay optimistic.


I went to a job interview a few days ago, and I feel like I totally rocked it!

Oh man, that's awesome. I hope you get it!

Thanks a bunch! It pays much better than my current job, so I really hope I do, but I think I got it in the bag.

Glad you rocked that interview. Sounds like it's gonna be a sweet gig.


I just saw an old tv show on tv and it reminded me of the old days

Heck yeah!  I love old tv shows!  What was it?

That 70s show. I guess it wasn't that old but it is for me.

Yeah.  It's kind of old now.  Was a really good show for its time until the RANDY DAYS


I got to go to a cat cafe when no one else was around!

I've been to one before with my girlfriend, what an amazing experience eh?

It was! I was the only one around so all the cats came to spend time with me


I hate having to wake up early for appointments. My biggest fear is that I will oversleep and miss it

I understand, I have trouble waking up early too.

I wish I was an early riser but it's not for me.

Me too, I just have to set a bunch of alarms and try my best.


You should watch this movie, I just watched it and it was really good, but also a bit emotional. .

What's the movie? I love watching new stuff.

It was Christopher Robin! When I watched it, it was really heartfelt and wholesome. It made me thankful and grateful for everything in my life.

I'd love to see that. I was a big fan of Winnie the Pooh growing up, so I bet I'll love it.


I found my grandfathers old watch he used to wear all the time. It really reminds me of him a lot.

That is pretty neat especially if it gives you good memories!

It really does. I remember he used to wear it for special occasions and holidays.


I bought all of my books for this semester.

I am sure that is a huge relief but quite expensive.

Have you ever tried to rent them or get the e-books?


Ever had a time where you really needed a certain grade on a final to keep your letter grade? I did that in calculus last semester.

Yea I know how you feel, I have no idea what im doing in math sometimes

Exactly! I didn't even do well enough to keep my A but he gave it to me anyway haha.

Yea I just aim to pass and pray, it can be hard sometimes, depends on the teacher


I arrived in San Diego yesterday. Felt so nice relaxing under a palm tree.

Oh that sounds wonderful! Are you going to visit the zoo?

I here they have one of the best zoos in the us.


I should be receiving a bonus for how well I have been doing at work.

Wow, I hope you do get a nice bonus. Sounds like you work pretty hard.

I cant say for if Ill get it, but I wish that I do.

Well, Ill keep my fingers crossed for you.


I saw a kitten hurt on the side of the road... unfortunately I was in a taxi and couldn't stop to help it

That would have made me sad , poor kitten

Yeah that was a few years ago and it still makes me sad

I love animals , i would feel the same as you


My daughter lied about running the dishwasher today

Well you know how kids are. Probably just forgot and was embarrassed

Well be gentle but firm. Too much and you will scare her more then likely.

Trust me, she probably already knows she made the mistake. Just teach her not to do it again.


i think someone is breaking into my apartment right now

false alarm. it was the neighbors cat at the window


I am going on a cruise next month with some friends.

That should be fun. Where does the cruise go to?

We are going to the Bahamas. I cannot wait! It is going to be so fun!

The Bahamas is beautiful. I am sure you will love it.


We went to the lagoon a few weeks ago. My friends dared me to jump off of the highest cliff into the water.

Oh wow.  Terrifying.  All I think of is Johnny Erricson Tada, who broke her neck in that situation. Did you do it?

That was what I was worried about! I ended up not jumping off of the highest one. I was too scared. I did jump off of the smallest one. That was really fun!

You did the right thing!  Oh fun!  I'm glad you were safe and had a blast!


I recently totaled my car. There were no injuries but I feel absolutely terrible

Oh no! I've been there. How did it happen?

It was very wet and I took a turn at too high of a speed.

I'm glad your safe! Those roads can be dangerous.


I trusted my coworker to type up an important report but he did not.

That would make me so mad!   I wouldn't even want to go to work!


I'm been loosing weight January. I'm down 50 pounds. I have 10 more to go but I'm happy.

I've always walked a lot at work. I average 10 miles a day so kept doing that but I cut out all processed food and drinks.

That is a lot of walking. I can hardly walk 1 mile.


I just bought a brand new necklace and shirt.

What kind of necklace did you purchase? It's good to treat yourself some times.

Not sure I just though it looked cool. Hopefully it gets me noticed.

You will just make sure you have your nice new shirt on with that cool necklace and you will be all eyes lol.


Driving always scares me. I've seen some pretty bad car accidents with fatal injuries on the internet and it always crosses my mind while driving.

I feel the same way.  I don't trust people are paying attention


I have had enogh of this summer heat. Cmon autumn!

It gets do hot in memphis. My daughter is ready for school to start back anyway,


I have SO much to get done around here before summer ends, I am feeling positive about getting it done even through pain.

well atleast when you finish you can pop a beer and enjoy your hard work

Not a drinker ;) lol. But I will feel accomplished. I would pop a piece of sugar really lol

hahaha yeah or go to a nice restaurant to feel relaxed after all that hard work


i had to send my food back at the restaurant today.

I've never had the guts to do that, even though I've wanted to on multiple occasions. What happened, if you don't mind me asking?

my chicken was very undercooked.still pink in the middle.

That's the worst... So it wasn't even just taste, it was about health.. Dang. I don't know if I could ever go back there again. It'd always be in the back of my mind. Glad you caught it early and didn't go home with too much food poisoning.


MY daughter stayed home while I ran errands today

Well that was very nice of her. Did you give her anything in return?


I am satisfied with my gains so far. I hit the gym only 2 times a week but I am ok with that.

I'm making progress but it's a little slow. I am content with that.

You must be quite proud, how much can you lift?


I am so sad lately.  My husband needs a lung transplant and he is only 40 years old.

Oh wow. I'm so sorry to hear that. Was this an all the sudden thing or has he been in poor health?

It has been happening gradually over a number of years he has a genetic form of COPD and has never smoked or done anything to deserve this.

It's so hard how that usually is the case. Never deserved. Is his surgery scheduled soon?

He just got put on the list for the transplant so now he has to wait until its his time.

I'm really sorry. I can't imagine what you're going through. I'll be praying that he will get his lungs ASAP and that in the meantime, you'll feel at peace.

Thank you so much! I appreciate your prayers!


Not too long to wait then. Are you going to Tokyo?


My supervisor yelled at me in front of all my coworkers!

It actually was and it make me feel stupid and put on the spot.

It's definitely a difficult position to be in, I hope your coworkers were understanding.


I think I saw someone die today, I was so frightened.

I was driving and saw a big accident on the side of the road. As I drove by, I think I saw a dead person...

I am so sorry you had to see that. That is so bad. Did you have to call it in?


I have very bad teeth and I feel embarrassed whenever anyone stares at my mouth.

Did you try do to something about it? go to the dentist?

Yeah but I can't afford what I need done right now. Unfortunately I can't find a dentist who will do payment plans so it is what it is

I'm sorry to hear that. It's very expensive to fix teeth in the US :(


I've been trying to save money so that I can help my husband with the Christmas shopping this year.

I hoep you reach your goal. It must be tiring.

Well at first I was a little discouraged because I wasn't making that much. Things have picked up recently though, and I feel I will be able to help him a good bit so I'm feeling better about it.

Don't give up. Things may not be great one day but they always pick up eventually.


My mother is sick in the hospital. I am optimistic she will make it through

Thank you, I am trying to see a positive out of this.

It will be fine. Make sure you spend time with her and let her know that it will be okay. It can be helpful/


Ahhhh I wish I was 18 again.. Things were so different back then..

well i had my parents back then.. and sodas were only a quarter.


My neighbor lets his dog wonder freely around the neighborhood. I honestly wouldn't care much if his dog wouldn't poop on my friggin' lawn all the time.

That would make me so mad!  What did you do?

I haven't done anything yet, but it becoming annoying enough that if it happens one more time I'll give him a call.

You should!  No one should have to clean up after someone elses animal.


Yes, he will be going to college in the fall.

I'm also going to college in the fall, but I'm gonna be a sophomore.


My best friend and I are planning our weddings at the same time but she has a much bigger budget than I do.

Yeah. It's not the worst thing by far and I still can put together a special day but yeah it does irk me a tiny bit.

It's better not to compare your situation to others sometimes.


i did not expect my car to be soo good for the price i paid

yeah it was a used car i was not expecting much but it turned out really well

Well thats good. Probaby saved a bunch of coins


I get emotional about my family and friends sometimes, I am lucky to have them for sure

Nothing wrong with being emotional. It's healthy. I get a bit emotional about that stuff too. Family and friends are extremely important.

I guess not, most people do not have that view though

If they don't, that's their loss. My family are so important to me - I love them dearly. The same goes for my close friends. Don't listen to other people - they're the ones missing out!


I've been long distance with my girlfriend for about 6 years, mainly because I've been in university for a while. But I graduate this spring, and I'm going to propose to her after the ceremony. She's been patient this entire time, and hopefully it will all pay off.

She sounds like a great girl. I am sure it will you sound like a happy couple.

I hope so. I owe a lot to her. She motivated me to get off of my behind and make something of myself and go to school. Before her, I was just an unproductive man-child, playing games at my parent's house. Now I've moved out, work part-time while going to school.. It's time to pay her back.

Hell yea you sound like a genuine guy/girl. You know what is important, you will do fine.


I found out my sister is pregnant today! She's been trying for years

Oh that's cool.  Glad it worked out for her


So i am really happy with myself lately. Finally graduated college after 8 years since 2009.

Wow, go you! I am proud of you, it can be tough to do!

Yeah it felt tough every year that passed but i got that degree man.

That is what matters, best of luck using it friend!


I am as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow that I will get this job promotion!

That is amazing!  I'm really happy for you!

Thank you! I have worked so hard for so many years and finally it shows that someone paid attention. :)


I'm giving a presentation at work that is going to ensure I get a promotion. I know I'll get it.

With my presentation looking so good, there's no reason I shouldn't.


Wen I was in college and I cheated on a test I felt guilty


Today we found out at work that they are closing the business down. This is horrible

Oh no! Do you have any other work lined up?

Not yet... I'm freaking out but I will start applying places asap!

I hope everything works out for you, I know how hard shut downs can be.


Sorry to hear that. I hope you're not feeling too sad.

I had no idea snakes even lived that long. I am sure he was a faithful buddy to you.


Getting everything ready for grad school is so stressful.


I have a girlfriend, and I would never cheat on her

That is an amazing thing. Being cheated on is one of the worst things that can happen when ones enters a bond like a relationship.

I agree, I am not sure how people can do that to each other

I am sure that you two will have a happy and loving life together especially if she reciprocates your desire to never cheat.


My son asked to borrow the keys to my car this morning.

Yeah. I know most people would be worried about doing something like that, but... I trust him not to do anything stupid.

That's good to hear. I assume everything went ok?

Yeah, he brought it back in one piece. Which I'm obviously happy about.


The mosquitos are terrible this year. No matter what they keep buzzing around my head.

I hear you! Have you tried spraying lemon etc on yourself or eating them? Helps me a lot!

I've tried everything I could find on google and they still bite me. Maybe I just have yummy blood lol.

Yes, it is usually if you h ave acidic blood I think- too much sugar? Try onions, garlic and lemons, generally stops them from biting me. I HATE misquitos.


I get so angry when people stand me up it's so rude.

My coworker did this recent we was suppose to have lunch she didn't call or anything.


I was really shocked when my parents threw a party for me for my 21st birthday!

I had to work when I turned 21. That must have been awesome

It was, sorry you did not get to enjoy your day though...

I went to the casino after and won 250 dollars but I was by myself lol


Please describe what scared you about the caves.

That seems like a valid reason to be scared of going into the caves!


I'm so irritated at my neighbor. She moved out recently and left ALL her garbage and old furniture in our parking lot by the garbage.

That's not very considerate of her. Was she a bad neighbor while she lived there too? Some people!

Not at all, that's what is so weird! She was really polite, quiet, and neat.

I wonder what could have changed? Either way, I'd be pretty pissed off.


I made a deal with myself to work out more to get leaner. I've been so down on myself about it lately.

Making moves to do better is all you can do.  How has it been going?

At first it was really tough and I almost gave up on it a few times, but I turned it around and I've been feeling great.

That is great!  The longer you do it the easier it will get.  Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much that actually gives me a boost to read that.


When I was a kid I put a lot of faith in people.  Now I'm paranoid by default because I hate getting screwed over

That really sucks that that happened to you. Maybe start by putting small amounts of trust in people

Lmao so far trust has gotten me jumped, lied to and heartbroken.  Like Scarface said the only person I trust is me :)

Ha, sometimes the only person you can trust is yourself.


I found out my childhood cat passed away


I have been in vacation in Mexico for one week now. I am buying gifts for my family before coming back.

Wow, lucky you.  I hope you are enjoying your time there.  They will be appreciative of the gifts.

I hope they will appreciate the gifts. I bought already for my brother a t-shirt of the Mexico national soccer team and a sombrero.


I won 20$ off a lottery ticket this morning. Didn't expect it to be honest!

I love winning things.  It just makes the whole day perfect, lol.


I had an issue with a package never arriving at my door... thankfully the company had great customer service and replaced it right away

that's great. it stinkswhen you have to worry about customer service giving you a hard time

Yes, I'm glad it went smoothly. Not all companies are like that

exactly. some companies really try to go above and beyond


My best friend just bought a new car, it's a Honda Civic and it's red.

I love hondas.  Are you jealous of that person?

It's hard not to be a bit envious, especially since my car is a 2006!


I had a dream the other night that my daughter got lost at school.

Yeah, she's going to start middle school next week and it's got me nervous.


I just got payed yesterday , so i finally bought new clothes and went out to eat with some friends

Payday is fantastic! What kind of clothes did you buy?

Just some khaki shorts , and running nike shorts since its so hot outside, nothing huge since all my bills are due next week

Do you ever use poshmark or mercari? Those are good for deals. Sounds like you got some nice stuff! Payday is always a fun day

when i was little i wanted to grow up , now that im grown up all my bills leave me broke and bummed lol

I SO HEAR YOU! lol! Being grown up has it's perks but it's not as great as we thought it would be with all the responsibilities. We ARE the mom and dad now ha


Mine did too - 5 minutes ago, actually. Are you thinking about getting a new one?

No, I don't think I will get another one.

That's too bad. Perhaps it would help you heal your troubles away.


My friend told me she didnt have enough money for rent and that she needed to borrow some money.

I know you're not asking for advice but... DONT. Just dont.

I know... but I already did.. hoping for the best :/

ahhhhhh! I see this on Judge Judy everyday!


Temporary teeth? How long do those last?

A long time. Moldable plastic with no dangerous chemicals. It's quite interesting. It's not expensive to get a big bag of it. It is insanely expensive to get one tooth put in, so this should help her until then.

Ah yeah, that was a pretty good idea then. Hopefully she can get some permanent ones soon!

$800 bucks a tooth...From a car accident- Car insurance...FULL coverage does not cover that...it's insane.

Yikes. That is incredibly expensive for one tooth.


My husband aggravates me when he leaves his clothes all over the floor!

yeah that's a bad habit. I don't like it either.

It's lazy! No matter how much I tell him he still does it.

lol, he is just like my brother. You should ignore him, just like I ignore my borther


I can't stop spending money, no matter what I do, no matter how many budgets I put together. How can I be so careless?

That would be tough! Have you tried switching to cash envelopes?

Where you just use cash and put money in an envelope, when it's gone, it's gone, nothing left to spend.


I am having my first date with a woman that I met at party. I am very nervous about it.

Just wear cologne, dress sharp, use mouthwash, and let her do all the talking.  And you'll be just fine

Thanks for the advices. I hope will go fine. I made reservation at a good restaurant.

That's good.  Just stay away from the beans and spicy food haha


This mother's day was amazing! I got so much more than expected and it was all so heartfelt

That is great!!  Sometimes we mom's get a bit forgotten, so to have an entire day where we are just loved is such a great feeling.

Yes, definitely! I actually cried a few times because of how much thought went into each gift and what was written in the cards

Those words are the things we cherish more than any other thing, I love it when my girls do that!


My son is participating in the badminton junior level held between states.

that sounds cool.. how long has he been competing ?

From the age of 8. It's his 3rd match. I'm happy to be his father.


I ate the last of my roomie's ice cream.

Haha how dare you. lol just kidding. What kind?

It was some Hagen Daz strawberry. Soo good, but I feel so bad about it haha.


I spent my birthday last year alone. I expected my boyfriend to make plans but nope.

That's disappointing. What happened? Did he just not do anything?

Yeah, he acted like it was just a normal day, it was so weird. Maybe I'm getting too old to make a big deal out of birthdays anyway.


I have a long drive planned.  About 9 hours.  I hate long drives :/


I managed to get on the A honor roll at my school, I was a bit smug and happy for myself about the whole thing.

I'm just happy that I got it, it took a lot of hard work.


I am so nervous.  I have a blind date coming up.

Well be yourself. If it doesnt work out, think of it as practice!


The GRE Exam.  I am sure I did very well on it.


When I was a kid, I had a dog at my grandpa's. He gave it away because it wouldn't hunt.

I was very upset. I was only like nine at the time so I took it really hard.

Yeah I would have been too. As a nine year old kid that's hard to deal with.


I consider myself an animal activist now. I recently went to a protest

Very cool of you to take a stand on something you believe in.

Someone hurt my neighbors dog at a boarding house and it really bothered me

Oh wow. That has to be hard to see. It's great they you are actually doing something about it.


I was happy my mom gave me her old car but then I wasn't as much later down the road

My mom gave me her old car but I didn't realize the trunk leaked. I had put my dads army memorabilia in the trunk to return it to him and it rained. almost ruined everything

oh, i can see why now youve had a change of heart about the car. thats awful

I felt so bad. He was quite upset about it.


I'm not a big fan of them either.  Are you able to go up in buildings with an elevator, etc..?

Has it ever caused you to not be able to enjoy certain things in life?


My power went out over three or four times today.  I lost count.

Oh wow. Is it raining or something over there?

No they are doing work in the neighborhood.  Im glad I had my old hurricane supplies, batteries, etc.  I couldn't see anything.

How long is the work gonna take? I hope you don't get any weird power outages.


I can't get myself to sell my grandpa's old Cadillac.

I suppose so. It holds a special place in my heart even though its so old.

I know how you feel.  I've got old rifles from both of my grand fathers... along with some WW II bring backs.  I don't think I could sell them.


i had a friend whos life was going down hill with drugs, he threw himself in rehab got his first job , within a few months got asked to be manager i was awe at all of this

That is absolutely amazing. That could be an inspiration to so many different people.

Drugs are bad, but he was homeless for a bit as well , its beautiful how things can change so dramatically

You know that almost sounds like that could be a movie. There are so many people caught up with drugs today in the United States and around the world


I cant believe I hit reply all instead of reply when sending an email.

Oh no, this is a classic office disaster story. How bad was it?

I was complaining to my boss about another employee and I accidentally sent it to the whole company.  I cant believe I did that.  Im glad its the weekend.  I dont want to go back there

Ah heck, I hate that for you. Hopefully it isn't as bad for you as it seems, but just know that that mistake has happened to several people that I know of, so you're not alone.


I can finally say my son is sel sufficient

It is a great feeling when we can say that. My 37th child just became self-sufficient last year as well!

I know! I think my wife is calling it quits after the 38th, though.


I was at the club last night and drank too much and peed my pants.

I hid in a corner until it was time to go home. It was horrible!


I took my dog to the vet yesterday... it turns out that he's really sick.

It's not looking too good. I really hope he pulls through.

I do too.  That's one of the saddest things.  I hope you'll be OK too.


So I was listening to rap in my car with the windows down. The people in the car next to me were just staring at me. It was kinda awkward.

Yeah, not gonna lie my face turned a bit red and I rolled the windows up slightly. Thankfully they are very tinted so they probably didn't notice my shame.

Lol. They probably just laughed about it over dinner


I'm impressed with how well our pool is coming a long, it should be ready by next summer!

Sweet!, must be a really big pool if you have to wait until next summer.

Well it'll be done by the end of fall, we just won't be able to swim then. :(

Oh yeah, gets too cold. I've always wanted one of those concrete pools. I'm stuck with an above ground one for now until i get enough money for one.


We used to live in Hawaii. Only a couple of blocks from Waikiki beach.

Oh wow, that must have been lovely. How was it living in paradise?

Exactly that! Paradise! We were living a dream life...everyday was like vacation. I wish we could go back.

Well I hope for you that one day you can. Maybe retirement! Man, that would be amazing.


My therapist was so kind to me, I had to tell her a lot.

That's good you have someone that you can talk to about your problems and feelings. I'm sure it helps!

It really does, I was so grateful about it. She is very helpful.

It can be hard to find the right therapist, so it's great you have found one that really is there for you and helps.


As I look at my 21 year old son, I often reflect on when he was smaller. Time really flies!

Time sure does fly and change is inevitable

Yes, that's true. I still can imagine when he was waking up Christmas morning to see what Santa brought when he was 5.

Thinking about past events can be very nostalgic


My son's school starts next week and they just changed the first day of school!

My husband had to ask off for a different day without much notice!

That is the worst. At least you and your husband got something worked out for your son's first day at school!


I recently just graduated with my Bachelors

Congratulations! Are you happy to be done?

Yes! It took me a few years longer than expected but I can finally say I finished

That's wonderful. I bet it feels great to have all your hard work finally pay off.


I remember the one time my girlfriend got really sick , i stayed by her side and did everything for her , cooked for her i just wanted her to feel the best

thank you , shes always there for me , even when i come grumpy as hell from work she loves me either way


I felt like I was living in a real live sports movie over the weekend, it was pretty cool

My son had a soccer tournament and his team won.  The craziest part was that he scored the game winning goal.

That is so awesome, you must  be so proud!


I ran into a street performer recently and I enjoyed his music.

Cool. What kind of instrument were they playing?

He had a small guitar. I'm not sure if it has a specific name.

Maybe a ukulele? It's always fun to hear new music you like!


I was heartbroken when my grandmother passed away

I am sorry to hear of your grandmother's passing. My condolences to you and your family.
