Taking my date to the amusement park this weekend. I think we'll have an amazing time.

Sounds like a lot of fun! I'm sure it'll be a great date to bond.

hahaha thanks a lot. She says she's been wanting to go, so I'm sure she'll love it.

Yes defenitly! Go on the ferris wheel and buy her some cotton candy :)


I went to a restaurant last week by myself, meanwhile everyone else was sitting with at least one other person.

Well I felt a bit lonely to say the least.

I know the feeling.  Just broke up with my ex-gf 5 months ago.  But he/she is out there, chin up :)


I am super pumped for the new super smash bros, I hope it is as great as it looks

I'm looking forward to it too! I remember playing Smash on the N64. I loved it.

it was a great game, they have improved every single entry in my opinion!

Sweet. I hope to meet you on the battlefield someday!


My wife made me pancakes for breakfast. I have a full belly and feel rather happy now.

Yum!!! I love pancakes. Is it your favorite food too?

One of my favorite breakfast foods. She also made some thick sliced bacon. She treats me so well.

For sure, no other woman I would rather have.

It is so great to hear about a happy couple :)

How can I complain when she gets up early to make me such a great meal!


My cat just turned 23 last week and has been really sick.

Aw, I really sorry to hear that. Is is serious?

Yes, I think we will have to put her down next week. It is going to be so hard.

I'm sorry, At least you can rest assured knowing that your cat lived a long life.


I think my house might finally be sold! ahhh


My neighbor is the worst! He has a dog that he just keeps chained up in the backyard, and he rarely feeds it. Last week I saw it and he looks anorexic.

That's terrible.  Someone should call animal control on them.

I know, what kind of human being would do that to a poor dog! I'm going to call animal control soon.

I hope they do something to help that poor puppy.


When we moved into our new house, our cat found a field mouse that had gotten inside.

HA!  Well I'm the one that found her and she was just playing with it.  There was blood everywhere, it was so gross.

That's brutal, my cat plays with her kills too.


I've been very stressed out at work. I had it in my budget so I hired a new office manager. I'm having issues trusting her.

Do what i did, quit the job and live at home with mom.

I wish. My mom kicked me out at 14 and I've only seen her a handful of times since over the last 20 years.

I still thing living with a relative is the cheapest way to go.


Hi, this year, I was the first over 300 students at my enginering school

It is computer science. I am very happy of this achievement and my family is very proud.

Well pleased. You should be having brains,man!That's a tough course,i hear.


Last weekend I was dragged to a live piano performance at a local concert hall.  I came away thinking it might have been one of the best live shows I have ever seen!

That's great, from the sound of it, your probably thought it was going to be boring, huh?

I did, but I was so enthralled by the entire thing.  The pianist was amazing!

That must have been very entertaining to watch then. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much.


I was going through a box with old papers in it and I found some old letter my Grandpa wrote me when I was a child.

That's really cool. Did it bring back good memories?

It did! He has since passed away so it made me really miss him.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I'm glad you have the letter from him though.


Ugh, I hate that!  What are they doing to irritate you?

They have people coming in and out at all times of the night. Our doors are like 4 feet apart

That's horrible - can you complain the complex or HOA?   Or figure out a way to cut their power is always an option?


NASA released some free space posters a couple of months back.

Okay! Now that is interested, I would love to see them.

I think they have them up on their website, you should give them a look! I had them printed for a small fee and now they're up on my wall!

Oh really? I will be checking it out. I would love to have some.

Yup. The poster files are free, you just have to get them printed somewhere. They have a few different themes. I got Europa, Trappist-1e, Mars Explorers Wanted and "We Need You"

Free? That makes it even better, I will be getting me some posters.

Sweet! I hope you like them as much as I do!


My wife just quit her job to start her own private practice.

No she's a Therapist, but she is pursuing her Doctorate.

How much longer does she have in school?


I am supposed to give a big speech soon.

dont bee nervous about it panic only makes it worst how are you handling it?

I am okay over all, I have done it before, it just has been a few years.

well i really wish you the best and hope everything goes well


My roommate ate all of my leftovers last night that I was going to take to work for lunch today.

I would like to punch him in the face but I won't. I'll just buy some Burger King or something on the way.

I would maybe hit him or get revenge at least


oh no :( maybe you should confess and i'm sure you will feel better

i understand. maybe next time you shouldn't cheay


A restaurant that I wanted to eat at had "call ahead seating" where you can call and get placed on a waiting list. I called ahead and was told we would have a table in 10 minutes. When we arrived 10 minutes later, our table was not ready!

That is so annoying. They should not call it that if they can't guarantee 10 minutes.

That's what I told the hostess. There was no point in calling ahead if we still have to wait 45 minutes for a table.

Hopefully the food was at least worth the wait. I would have been annoyed as well.


My sister unfortunately will not seek help for her alcohol problems, and she will not even admit to them. I am extremely sad apprehensive about what might happen to her.

Im sorry to hear that , i hope she can find a way stop this before she spirals out of control

I have been trying to get my family and her friends to have an intervention, but they have not agreed to it. She really needs one.

She really does need an intervention , and family and friends would help greatly , i hope she can get her life back together


I had to go to my brother in laws funeral last week.

Oh no! I am sorry to hear of your loss. Are you taking it ok?

I'm ok. It just hit me hard seeing all those sad people.

Yeah, funerals are really sad but they can make one appreciate life so much more.


I get nostalgic thinking about my grandmother

No she passed about 6 years ago. I have little things around my house that remind me of her.


i dont know how my friends out here cheating on there girls , i never cheat on mine its happened to me in the past and it hurt

Some people know they can do better so they shop around I guess.

i dont see it that way , but everyone has there own views

I guess. Or it could be they are ready to move on but need to know someone else will be interested in them.


My wife is coming back into the country at the end of the weeks after 2 months away.  I can't wait!

Did you get to visit? Germany is quite beautiful.


Any of them. I hate all their creepy legs.

Thats fair I guess, weird fish freak me out more then spiders through


Man I can't believe I almost bought that thing at Walmart!

It was a combination rice-cooker and vegetable steamer.  It looked so good in the ad, but when I got there, it looked cheap and shabby!

It's hard to find good quality at walmart

I hope I can find one that lives up to the promise of that ad.  Maybe somwhere else, right?

I would try target.  good quality stuff there.

I could try online, but I'd have to buy it first and then see if it's good quality.

try googling it, and read thru the reviews


Stealing is wrong. I would also be ashamed of my actions.

Absolutely. Although the world isn't so black and white. Sometimes a person may have to steal to survive. Is it really wrong then?

If that is the case, I can understand why they had to do it. In circumstances where someone is stealing solely for unneeded person gain, then it is most definitely wrong.

I agree. Stealing someone else's possession when it wasn't necessary for your survival is despicable! I hate a thief!


My younger brother was playing an old Gamecube game that I loved to play back when I was a kid.

That's cool. Man, those tiny disks were easy to lose. what game?

He was playing Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door. What an awesome game! It brought back so many great memories.

That's awesome. I get nostalgic about old games as well.


My state sent me a tax bill for my newly opened business for $7,000!!!

Gaah! That's a state tax bill? That's insane, it's hard enough already to open a business.

I haven't even made $100 yet..and I have not used my tax exempt status...So that was shocking! I swear..everytime I open the mail..it's anxiety city! I called and they said it was just an estimate to make me file my taxes :/ I'm like...I didn't even make anything last year..My partner did- I was pregnant and sick! I was also on medicaid so how did I make 100,000?? lol! Ridiculous.

Jesus! I hate opening my mail already because it's bills, I can't imagine trying to do something that ambitious which in of itself is a lot of work to get a business started and you have to learn so many different things, and then on top of it being sent stuff like that. Agghh! I hope it ends well for you, though.


My best friend moved away. I was not happy.


I haven't been able to find my phone charger in 2 days.... grrrrr!

You can ask your best friends if they have a spare before spending money on a new one though


It really bothers me that my son sticks his dirty socks in the toy box

Is that like the child equivalent of under the bed?

I guess so haha but no matter what I try to keep him from doing it, it still happens

That's kinda strange. I assume that's something he'll grow out of.  How old is he?


When I was in high school there was a girl I had liked for a long time that ended up dating my best friend.

Oh man, that must have hurt. Did she know you had feelings for her?

Yes. But at the time she was unavailable. Then when she wasn't spoken for my "friend" asked her out.

Sounds like your friend broke bro code, that was kind of scummy.


I have severe social anxiety and don't have any friends.

I used to have a had time making friends when I was younger.


When my friend went on bed rest during her pregnancy, I was confident that she would have a healthy baby.

Yes, but she was concerned about her baby. I was very optimistic for her.

Me too. If she gets plenty of rest, the baby will be just fine.


I was visiting my hometown over the holiday. I passed in front of my old high school. It still looked the exact same.

Excuse me? Seeing my old school really brought back a lot of good memories.

It's weird the way some things from our past seem so timeless. It's nice you had a good experience seeing your school.

It really was. I will always remember those times.

Our past can be a great source of strength and comfort.


I mow lawns for a living, and it is so hot.


I came back from a trip recently, got called in the boss's office and was given a decent sized raise.

Absolutely. I certainly won't say no to that.

Keep up the good work, whatever your doing.


I am going to the music concert this weekend!

The group called, super cellphones. You might not have heard of them?

Never heard of them. What music genre is it?


My dog saw this cat being chase and scared the other dog away

I bet your dog is pretty smart. I mean she was able to notice a cat in danger and helped out and all.


I used to hate it when girls wouldn't text me back.  Now that I'm focused on my job and networking I put little to zero effort in meeting girls...and as a result they're the ones checkin up on me every night lmao

Absolutely! I've always noticed that phenomena. If you act too desperate it actually puts them off. On the contrary, acting a little disinterested gets THEM more interested.

Yup exactly... but I feel like even "acting" disinterested can be pretty transparent since girls are super intuitive...just staying busy and being constantly on your grind turns them on...for me personally anyway how bout you

I can agree with that. Women like a man who is dedicated to something. It shows good characer.


The other day, there was a movie I wanted to see. I invited a friend to go with me, but they decided they didn't want to come because they were going with another friend.

That really sucks... did you tell them how that made you feel?

No...I guess I should have. I guess I really think they should have went with me too, or invited me to go with them.

I would tell them.. and if it happens a 2nd time then they arent very good friends to have! :/


I just applied for financing on a new car. My credit is not well established, but I am praying that I get approved!

Thank!  I really need the car to get to work!

There are many types of loans out there, so hopefully you get one! It will also help you build your credit.


Me and my four year old were grocery shopping. He was saying all sorts of cute things to people and being very polite. People were really amused by him it seemed.

Kids are really cute at that age.  Embrace the cuteness while you still can!

I will for sure! Kids are the best, are you a parent or planning on being one ever?

No I don't have any kids but I teach so I have other people's kids to fill that space in my heart.


I was supposed to go out to dinner with my family tonight, but the restaurant was closed down

Aw, that's too bad. What kind of restaurant was it?

It's Chinese. We go there every weekend.

Dang, what I would do for some sweet chinese now. Did you find one to replace it?


Nothing makes me mad like when people leave their grocery carts in the middle of the parking lot. How inconsiderate is that?

True. i think the store should introduce some policies for punishing such individuals with fines

Aldi has the right idea. You pay a quarter to get a cart and only get your quarter back if you return it.

Excellent. When i was visiting Turkey, they had the same thing for carts used to carry your luggage


I was happy to see that my son got perfect attendance for the entire school year

That is amazing!! I bet you are so proud!

That sounds like a really great kid, your doing a fantastic job!!


Seeing expensive cars on the road is always inspiring. I am usually in awe because I know it takes hard work to get those!

I like big SUVs like Range Rovers and Jeeps

Range Rovers are my favorite too. If you work hard you can get one!


I love it when I get free samples at Costco

It makes my shopping experience so much more enjoyable haha

I wants had a smoothie that was terrible there


I used to watch Sailor Moon as a kid, and when they made a reboot, I got to share that with my daughters.

Sailor Moon~!  That was the best show!  I've shared it with my kids, too.  And the laugh at the picture of me dressed up as Sailor Jupiter from loooooong ago!

See, that what I'm talking about!  They were so into it!  I think I even shed a tear when Usagi made her first transformation.

My girls think I'm the coolest because I watch Sailor Moon and Dragonball Super and a ton of other anime and I'm like, "I've been watching stuff like this since before you were born!"

I've tricked mine into learning, getting them to watch Cells at Work recently.

That's good!  I've got the ones that like watching anything about space.  The older one wants to be on a Mars mission!


I opened my front door and saw a big snake, I immediately slammed the door and went back in.

That is so scary. I don't know what I would have done,

It makes me shiver, just thinking about it. I called animal control.

You did the right thing. I wouldn't have been able to stop thinking about it.


I bought 10 tickets to win a new cars. I am hoping I'm lucky this time!

That would be great! It would certainly save you from having to buy a new car for a while.

Yes, there are not many tickets being sold either so I think I really have a good chance to win!


I once finished a whole bag of candy, just after startinf my new diet.

Oh no!  I don't doubt it.  Diets make you so hungry and gives you crazy cravings for what you can't have.  Did it feel worth it or make you feel miserable?

I felt terrible.  Like I am going to be fat forever.

I have been there and done that.  My vice used to be ice cream.  Then I learned about being high nutrient vegan and started to eat carbs again once I learned about nutrition.  Learning about nutrition made me start thinking about each thing I put in my body.  Like purposeful eating.  It was a tough transition but I never went back.  Just do it for yourself and don't beat yourself up when you mess up.  I know you can do it if I can!

Check out youtube.com and watch the Whole Foods Plant Based Cooking Show and you'll see the yummy desserts you can eat any day of the week without guilt or bingeing.  Delicious! You take care!


I've been happy with the way things have been going in my life lately.

That's awesome, glad to hear, what are you most happy with?

My family life is what I'm always the most happy with.

A solid and happy family life is the key to a happy life!


My cat died last week. I feel so lost without her.

:( I am so sorry to hear that... how old was she?

She was 23 years old. I got her when I was 5.

She lived a long life for a cat but its never long enough for us who they leave behind. I hope you feel better soon...


I was pretty bummed to find out that my favorite coworker is transferring to a different department.

I can see how that would be a downer.  Will you still get to see them?

At least they aren't gone completely, but I can understand how that would affect your day to day work life.


My mom gave me a box of old toys I used when I was a kid.

IT was pretty neat. I haven't even thought about most of those in decades.

A bunch of old toys.  A couple of RC cars. Some silly stuffed animal thing I used to snuggle with... the usual


I made a big mistake at work. I am afraid of the consequences.

Oh no. What happened? Hopefully they will understand it was a mistake.

I made a mistake in one of our client account. It will cost the company thousands of dollars.

Oh I am sorry that happened. Hopefully they understand it was a simple mistake.


I am trying to decide where I should go next on vacation, I love travelling.

I say think of all the places you always wanted to go and then choose a place you never even considered.

That is interesting but I usually look for deals so I can go to more places

Yes deals will allow you to travel more for sure.


Thanks!  And he is playing football too!  Love that kid


every time i go to any fast food joint like mcdonalds they always get something wrong , but that one time they get everything right im actually happy .... and they want to get increased in pay lol

That's why they are being replaced by machines lol

i saw an episode of lockdown once where people would go through the drive threw to order there food, they did not know it but a call center in prison was taking there orders lol

I thought I had seen every episode of lock down. I haven't seen that lol


I was working really hard for a marathon in a few weeks but I ended up breaking my ankle a little bit ago and can't participate. I'm disappointed.

Oh no, that's terrible. Can you walk maybe with some support at least?

No, I have to stay off of it completely. I can use crutches but in the heat, that will not be worth it.

I see, that's too bad but maybe there will be more marathons you can participate in in the future.


You and me both! Nothing wrong with making some more bread!


Weekends off are always great.  What did you do with your time?

Sounds fun.  I hope you had a good time!


I clogged up the toilet at a female friend's house by accident. I didn't tell them.

Did you have a severe diarreia or something?

Yes, it is a legitimate medical condition. I have irritable bowl syndrome.


Last week, I was unfaithful to my wife. I feel bad about it.

Oh no, did something happen to have caused it?

No. It was with a female co worker. She has been seducing me for weeks.

I'm sorry to hear about what happened. Are you staying with your wife?


I have been faithful to my relationship with my boyfriend


My co worker is always sucking up to the boss and doing good work. I think he is trying to get promoted.

Well, I do my work as well as I can. But he just seems like he's trying to be better than everyone else.


I had to cross the border once with very few pages in my passport once.

i do that all the time. i live on the mexican border. what border did you cross?

I think I was flying to Philippines, but they let me in, which was a relief.


I have a test in a month from now in calc 3


It warms my heart to have my parents to have such a good relationship with my kids

It's great that your kids are having such a great relationship with their grandparents.

It really is.  Does your family live close to you?

Yea, they do, but they're getting old. Makes me scared.


When I was a young child, I fell off of the slide, but my father caught me before I hit the ground. I knew I could count on my dad after that day.

What a nice story and how wonderful to feel so protected!

Thank you, and most certainly! Parents can make a big impact in a child's life.

Yes I am sure that have make you or will make you in the future a wonderful parent too!


I can't wait to see the leaves begin to change.

I just love Fall! I'm guessing that's your favorite season?

I feel you. Watching the leaves change colors makes me feel peaceful.


This past month, I was able to visit Six Flags!

That's neat and sounds like a lot of fun!

It was amazing. The last time I was at an amusement park had to have been over a decade ago!

I have not been in years! Was it as fun this time as it was years ago?


I just got some frustrating news the other day.

My son got caught cheating on a test. I really thought we raised him better than to do such things but here we are.


I usually hate to ask for help, so when my friends all surprised me by taking turns bringing us meals for 2 weeks after my 4th child was born I was blown away. I was so relieved to have help.

Wow, 4 children my first is on the way and I'm freaking out. You must have great friends.

That is so exciting, congratulations! We moved 17 hours away from family, so having a great group of friends is really important to us.

Thank You. That is our next step we are moving from NYC to Miami after the baby. How can we find friends like yours?

Get involved in something. Church, a social club for interests you are in. I don't recommend parent groups, for some reason they get really nasty. Just find a way to connect with people. Having children is so much harder without a support system!

I see what you mean about a parents group. I joined a dads group in facebook and it's full of people who complain non stop about  being an adult.


I really enjoyed caring for patients in the Emergency Room while working at my previous job.

I was a patient access representative. I gathered information for the patients.

That sounds like a really cool profession


My wife and I are celebrating 15 years of marriage today.

Thanks.  We have been very committed to our wedding vows since day one.


I just graduated from college! I feel so accomplished.

That is SO exciting! I remember how that felt!

I am very excited about it! Although I am a bit nervous about what is to come. I still need to find a job.

That will come! The hardest part is over now!


I know I will meet my sales quota this month.


My 2 nephews were eating ice cream and the younger one dropped his in the dirt. The older one gave his own ice cream to the younger one.

Awwww.  That is so sweet.  It is nice to see when young people are actually being nice to each other!

Yes but then my older nephew realized he had no ice cream so he picked up the one out of the dirt and ate it.

OMG LOL.  Well maybe that wasn't so nice!  Ewwww.


I had a rough day today and now my son refuses to go to bed

That really sucks. Maybe you should force feed him some melatonin?

That has never worked with him. I bought a huge bottle of the gummies

Oh, well hopefully that works. Wouldn't want you up all night!


School for my kids started again this past Thursday.

How was that? Were you excited for some more quiet and for them to get back on a schedule? Or are you sad that it shows that they're getting older?

It was good. I am dealing with a mixture of both emotions about them being back in school. I was happy I had all the supplies, clothes, shoes, and other odds and ends in time.

Ah, that's interesting you say that. I thought you'd just be like everyone else, who say, "Happy to nudge them out the door!" You sound like a good parent


Sometimes solitude can be a good thing. Were you hoping for company?

Yeah, I hate being by myself.  It makes me sad.

Call me next time and I will go with you.


I have been stealing internet from my neighbor since two months. I feel bad about it.

I have spme money issues currently. I can'r piad for it.

That's reasonable. Just make sure you get your own when you have the funds available.


i couldnt believe how beautiful the weather was when i woke up today

That's awesome, It is very hot where I live, so I am jealous!

Well I'm glad you get to enjoy some nice weather for a change!


Sometimes people ask me to do a lot of other stuff when I already have a lot on my plate.

That must be so annoying. I get that sometimes too.

I feel like people don't care that I have stuff to do.

I'm sad to hear that, I'm sure there is someone who cars.


i feel low and worthless, i hit on my friends wife

Well, just stop here, and all should be ok.

yes. it stopped there. but i still feel horrible

Try to promise yourself you'll never do that, it should help.


At dinner with my friends, I choked on water and coughed it up all over the food

Oh lord, that made me almost vomit! I choke easy too, I am sorry!

That's ok! I just felt so bad for my friends.

Not your fault at all! Somethings can't be helped.


I am currently in the process of building a computer.


My family came all the way from Australia, and I don't really have time to show them around.

I've gotta work. I put in a request for off, but we're short on help.

Oh that is a bummer, maybe you can around work as it's worth it :)


I am afraid of frogs. I know that is weird but they have always scared me.

Actually my aunt is afraid of them also. She said as a girl one cornered her and wanted to hurt her. Why are you scared of them?

Strange. Next time you have them try them cooked in goose liver fat and scotch. AMAZING!


In the other hand, I am excited to go to Vegas tomorrow

Wow ! that sound's really awesome. I wish I could have gone there. But surely not for work !

This is my first time going there. I want to try my luck

I wish you all the best pal ! You will surely rock !


I put in vacation request since January for next week. And now they're telling me they're too busy to let me go.

Oh no! Are they even allowed to do that?

I don't think I have a choice. Otherwise, I lose my job.

That really sucks. I hate how employers expect us to work to death.


My friemd just got certified as a pharmacy technician

Alright! is that a big money promotion for them?

From her current job yes. She was struggling in school. I was surprised she did so well on the first try.

Thats great! did yall go out and celebrate?


Back in school, I studied a lot for an important exam. But, still I was very much worried about my test results.

Ah, well for some people, that is a very big thing!


I have been collecting supplies for this hurricane season. I think I am ready for anything that comes our way!

Nice!  Always good to be prepared, makes things a lot less stressful if there is one.

Yeah, especially since I live in Florida!  I learned my lesson from last years big hurricane!

Florida gets hit a lot! Smart move being ready, but I hope you stay safe regardless!


That's nice to hear! Have you treated her to something special?

I always do.  I would never cheat on her.

Always stay faithful, it is the best thing for your relationship.


I lost my wallet the other day, I think I left it on a bus

Yeah now I have to cancel all my credit cards, it's such a hassle


I have been working on my programming skills and I feel like I can get a new job now!

That's awesome! You're going to be rolling in the dough with those skills

Hell yeah, no more living in mom's basement!

That's exciting. How long have you been learning programming?


My neighbor has a brand new Tesla and every time I look at it I get so envious. I know it's stupid, I should be happy for him that he has such a cool car.

Well that's the thing, I don't. I bike everywhere. Don't get me wrong, I love my bike and it's a great way to stay fit.

You have to think of the positives.  Just because they have a new car doesnt mean their life is great.  They could be watching you wishing they were fit and healthy like you are.

That is a really good way to put it, I will definitely keep that in mind next time I find myself pining after his car.

lol and some day you might you buy your own new Tesla, if you feel like it!


That's horrible. What is your work doing to fix that?

nothing, i had my hair up so hopefully i don't get any

Ouch, I hope you don't either. I'd keep any eye out at work from now on.


I had to get my tag renewed last week as well as change my address. I had to get all the paperwork I needed together.

It was but I found everything I needed before going. Too bad it always takes so long at those offices.

Yes it does. The DMV has the longest wait times. You go in first thing and already have a 45 minute wait from the get go.


I auditioned for a play over the weekend.

I'm afraid of public speaking or performing in crowds, so that takes courage! How did it go?

I am not sure yet, but I am very optimistic about it.

That's great! You have to keep a good attitude about it. I hope you get the part you want!


I remember as a kid when I was mad I would try to break something my parents owned. Looking back, I feel remorse for what I did.

Tell me exactly what that was like? Hopefully it's different now?

I would just try to break a household item whenever they punished me. Yes it is different now, I try to control my temper in non violent ways.

I could not even imagine how mad your parents must be.


I kept getting stuck behind an irritating man while grocery shopping yesterday. He was so loud and always in my aisle.

That sounds unfortunate. You must have been so annoyed with him!

I was! He had an uncanny knack of blocking me and taking up the whole width of the aisle.

People like that should just do shopping online instead of ruining the experience for everyone else!


I just lost some weight so I ordered a bunch of dresses online

Thats great!  It's awesome you are doing things for yourself.

I think I'll be able to fit them all too.

That really is good news you should be feeling proud.

Oooh you will probably get there in no time.


After moving away for college I was by myself alot

Yeah I need to find a way to meet others


Yesterday afternoon as I was walking home from work a giant rat ran across my path. It was so nauseating that I almost vomited!

Wow that's terrifying, maybe next time u should invest in mouse traps

Well it was outside I'm not sure how much the traps would stick around even if I did set them.

Understandable, that's very unfortunate hopefully they will disappear from your home


I was so irked when I took my car in for an oil change last week!!

Yes, it's fine but the salesman tried insisting it required a bunch of unnecessary things, like synthetic oil which costs twice as much. I know for a fact, that was a lie.


I saw someone using a trashcan as a drum set on the street yesterday. I was inspired because they were so efficient with what they had!

Nah, but I stayed a listened for a while. I was just super impressed


i was upset when i had to miss my son's game

that is not good, why did you miss your son's game?

i wasnt able to get out of work on time due to being way too much work

well if it is work then it is ok because you have to put food on the table first i can relate to that


I was going to go see a new movie that came out last weekend.

It was a new comedy movie.  But then my babysitter cancelled and I couldn't go.


I hope you find them! If anyone hurt it I would be furious.


One of my friends recently bought a house. I really wish I could afford a house.

Wow that is great for your friend! and don't stress it, we are still young and have plenty of time to save up for a house!

I'm starting to feel like I will never be able to afford a house. They're just so expensive. And the market has been going up here about 5% a year for the past 10 years.

Wow that is crazy, I know how you feel, the best solution is to probably find a cheap place to rent out until it is possible to buy one.


No he played last year in middle school.  I hope he does great this year!

I'm sure he will love it! Be sure to take blankets to the games. It gets cold sometimes.


Has he done something to make you want to break up with him?

i just no he's not the one. I am scared I will break his heart

Well, if you know he's not the one, it's better to do it now than years from now.


i love my wife because she's loyal and she always takes care of me.

thats a wonderful thing how long have you been married?

very nice its always good to find a faithful and loving woman


I recently attended a play. My friend's acting was significant!

That's really awesome that you supported your friend!

I am very glad that I went and supported him.

I'm sure he really appreciated you support too!


that is incredible i bet you are really proud

i remember when my daughter did her first steps i was so proud of her


I plan on paying off a credit card this weekend.

That's wonderful. It always feels good to pay off debt I think.

I know. I have been working pretty hard so that I can get it out of the way

Yes, you must be very proud for accomplishing that.


oh yea i bet that brings back a lot of memories

IT does. And no matter how famous i get. I will always reme,ber those times


My girlfriend is finally coming back to the states after being away for 4 years.

What a monumental event!  I bet you're so excited.  What took her away for so long?

She got a scholarship to go to school abroad.

She sounds smart.  Are you nervous at all or just thrilled to be with her again?


I defended my thesis last year, with a raging ear infection.

You must have been in so much pain. How did you manage to endure it?

Lots of Advil.  Thankfully, my adviser had prepared me really well.  I wasn't even nervous.

It great you were confident despite your illness. It's a sign of good character.


I learned today that my friends wife had an affair with his brother.  I'm beyond flabbergasted.

Wow! How can someone do that to someone with someone so close?

I don't know.  I thought I knew who she was, obviously I don't.

That's such a shame. And shame on his brother, too!


My almost 16 year old daughter wants to get her ear cartilage pierced.

I'm not so sure, it has to be done at a tattoo shop and we didn't have such a great experience when she was little and had her ears pierced.  I'm thinking it's more of a "follow the crowd" kinda thing than her truly wanting it.


An infiniti. My old volvo is the worst on the block

Hey at least it is still a car, don't feel bad.


I did a walk a thon last week for back to school drive and needy kids it was s long walk but I finished it I felt so happy.

That sounds awesome, i bet you feel proud! Its nice to do things for kids who are in need.

I did before the walk I was un-assured I would finish but I did so I was overly proud and it was a great cause that raised lots of money.

Of course! Dont let fear of not finishing stop you from doing anything!


Once I put my shirt on inside out by accident. I didn't realize it until someone told me at school.

That's hilarious!  Did you try to play it off like you meant to do that?

No I'm not that hip. I felt kind of dumb and made some excuse about being in a hurry.

Well, at least you were honest about it.  I bet you will never put your shirt on inside out again!  So, consider it a lesson learned!


Starting to get better at jogging. Last summer I could only jog a couple of miles. Now I'm working up past 5 miles, to 7 and 8 miles each time I go out. I need to get a lot better with my mile times, but I'm starting to get interested in the idea of a half marathon.

Wow!  That is impressive!  You must be really prod of yourself!

Yeah, I am. I mostly just do it so I can eat as many cheeseburgers as I want and not get too fat. But now that it's a little bit more of a realistic possibility to do something like that as an achievement, it's become a little interesting.

Haha!  That's funny!  I work out to drink and eat bad food as well!  Awesome achievement with your running!  Keep at it!


My son is getting ready to go into the military! I am so pleased with him

The marines. He has always wanted to join.  I am glad he is finally getting to.

The marines is by far my favorite so good for him!


That sounds like you are excited for sure! When is he coming and what are yall going to do?

He is coming next week! We are going to play Bingo at the local American Legion every night!

Honestly that sounds pretty fun to me I havent been to bingo in years. I love listening to the older people arguing when someone wins.


I have my final math exam tomorrow. Never felt so prepared in my life!

It is! It's my final exam for the semester too!

You must be feeling great.  What are you studying?


i was mad when someone hit my car. i think you backed up into mine.

It might have been the same person! We should stake out in the bushes out there and see who it was!

We'll get Taco Bell and eat tacos all night and when we catch them we'll make them watch us eat the tacos and not share with them.


I have big fear of dogs. I can't explain why

Did you get attacked by a big dog when you were little?

No but my brother was attacked when he was little.

Maybe it was because you saw your brother get attacked by one and you are scared it might happen to you.


I can honestly say I have everything i could ever ask for.

Yes! its been so o long since I have been this happy with my life.


MY sister used to be my next door neighbor.

She moved all the way across the city. I hardly see my neice anymore.

I'm sorry, you must miss them a lot if you don't see them as much as you used to.


I can't believe I walked in on someone using the restroom.

Oh my, that must've been an embarrassing situation!

It was! I knocked first and no one answered, so I thought it was okay to go in.

That's ok, you did the right thing. It probably happens to lots of people.


I just ordered food and it came and it's totally the wrong order. Now I have to wait another hour for it!

Oh i can relate, that happened to me with UberEats a couple days ago. Its so frustrating!

Very! and they refused to give me a discount.  Last time I'll order from there again.

Yeah its the worst when they don't own up to it, makes me want to use the competitors service just to spite them. Very annoying.


I really hate when my kids take my things without asking

I feel you!  My two kids know all the rules and yet, they just go out the window when they want to take something or use something that isn't theirs.  I always joke that you can't have nice things with kids.

It's true tho. They will one day understand when the spend their own money on things and someone just comes along and breaks it or leaves at the mall.


I was in the grocery store and my 3 year old blurted out, "Mommy, why is that lady so round?" I was mortified.

Oh man, kids can be terrible about things like that.  They just have no filter.  What did you do?

I just peeked back at the lady and I couldn't tell if she had heard or not but she was fairly close.  I know, usually I can catch them before they say something but not this time.  I just said loudly, "Honey, don't say things like that."

Well, that's the best you can do, is teach them what's appropriate and what isn't.  I think you handled it well.


A few weeks ago we were at a wedding. Everyone was dancing and having fun and all of a sudden my 3 year old niece started to choke on a carrot. So scary!

Oh wow! That must have been terrifying! Were they able to help her?

Yes, someone was able to do the Heimlich maneuver and she was ok right after that. It was quite the panic for a few minutes though.

I could imagine. It must have been amazing to see her rescued though!


My son sits around all weekend and eats everything.

Tell him to get out and do something! That must be frustrating.

Well, he pays rent but he definitely uses up more resources than he pays for.

Its hard being a parent... but i am sure you are doing it right!


i was cleaning out and organizing my attic and found an old quilt from my grandma.  It made me feel kind of bittersweet.

That is right.  It brought back some pretty good memories from my childhood


I get sentimental about my girlfriend, she means a lot to me

That is really sweet. It sounds like you really love her.

It seems like you know what to do to make it work.


Hi friend, guess what just happened that made me cry.

I was all ready to go and see my favorite band and then the entire show was canceled.

Oh wow, what a bummer! Not that it makes it any better, but at least you're not alone. Maybe you'll get a refund?


i am really looking forward to this season of Lakers with LeBron coming in

haha very true.. Lakers fans are so thrilled at the moment


Wow, That's unfortunate. Sorry to hear. were you close?

We were, it's so tragic. Cancer spares no one.

I hope you are finding ways to cope with your loss. That can't be easy to deal with.

It really is difficult, I've started therapy recently.

I hope that helps you and that you find peace.


I recently applied for a promotion at work.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope another opportunity comes up.


i was scared when i saw that owl staring at me

Oooh I don't like owls... they creep me out


I am going bungee jumping next weekend.  I am pretty nervous and do not know what to expect.

Or stupider.  I am not entirely sure.  I certainly do not feel brave about it.

I hope it all goes okay for you. Trust your instincts about doing it or not.


Yesterday, I saw a woman in the bus that her lollipop felt on the floor. She took the lollipop, clean it, remove a hair that was on it and put it back in her mounth.

I start to watch in the other direction because I was going to throw up.

I probably would have done the same thing.


MY daughter and I talk about everything. We are close.

You are  lucky to be able to have that kind of relationship.

You have a strong foundation. Even if she wavers she will return.


Reasearching papers can be tiresome.  Did it turn out well?

Then it was worth it, even if it was arduous.


I've got water dripping from the ceiling under my new AC unit.

Annoying is an understatment.   I've got to take off work tomorrow to have them come fix the AC - plus the water damage.


In university, for my major of social work, we all get mandatory internships where they place us in certain ones and we have no control over it. Some other students received cool internship placements, and I feel like mine doesn't compare. Kind of disappointed I didn't get something more interesting

That's unfortunate. At least you can use the experience with your current internship to get you to another place you want to go!

Yeah, that's kind of true. We can't change them while in school. They have to place so many people, so they can't really give people the flexibility of choosing where they want to go, or else that would get too complex and hectic. So, I understand that. But still.. some of these places don't match up to some others. I'll be twiddling my thumbs and not learning much, while others will get a good experience. I guess I just have to make the most of it.

That's a great attitude. You will be fine, and can use this as a learning experience


I broke up with my boyfriend a month ago. It was hard but he just wasn't right for me. The biggest problem I have now is that I feel so isolated and lonely without him.

It was the right thing to do. Getting used to not having someone around is going to take some time.

Yeah, I definitely don't want to get back together just because I miss having someone but its definitely hard.  I'm struggling to find things to do or get out with friends.

It will take time, but I'm sure you'll be okay.


I think I didn't pay the cab driver and he told me he need the money so badly. I feel so bad, what do I do?

I think you should call the cab company and try to locate the driver!

He works for himself not with a compapny :(  I think the only way is to pray for him. I am willing to give him triple the amount if i can see him

Yes I will pray as well. But try not to let it bite your conscience.


My husband cooked me my favorite food today! He never cooks!

Bacon egg and cheese on toast! It was amazing! He makes the best fried eggs.

that sounds yummy. i'm glad you had that special treat.


I had a court date to dispute a parking ticket.

I hate parking tickets!  What a rip off.  How did it go?

I had my dashcam video and witness statements ready to go

Sounds like you were prepared.  Did you get it dismissed?


I was very happy.  Its like money from god. I didn't even know I had it.

Yeah, found money is always the best money.


My son just graduated from high school! He has worked so hard, and he even earned a scholarship.

Congratulations to you both!  What's he going to study in college?

Thank you! He is going to study Computer Science!

That's a great degree for the future and getting a job.  Good luck to him.


My husband surprised me really good on Mother's Day this year.

He got me the Lego Disney castle that I have been wanting forever.


I couldn't be more thankful to have 3 happy healthy kids.

That is really something to be thankful for. I have lost 2...So for sure!

It's okay! Life happens! Cherish your babies always :)


I went to a bar a couple days ago and was hit on by a woman.

Were you happy about that, or creeped out?

I respectfully told her I was not interested, I already have a wife so I need to be committed. I would never cheat.

You're a good guy. Did she take it well?


My mom went back to school at 63 and recently got her bachelor's in computer science!

Wow That's amazing. You must be very proud of her.  I think coding, etc, seems very hard.

Yea. I mean I can't even code. And there goes my mom who didn't even know a browser was, now coding!

Very inspirational story. They make good money too.


I thought for sure they were going to through me a huge birthday party but I didn't get my hopes up just in case.

Yes, they planned one for months and it was such a good time.


I was super shocked when I did well on my math final, thought i bombed it hard

I have had way too many close calls on my finals. How did you do?

I got a 50ish which was like a C in my class and easily passed, was super happy and shocked

Nice! Good to hear that things worked out for you in the end!


I'm really stressed that I'll have enough money to cover the bills this month.

That is a stress we all go through! It's hard!

Yeah, the struggle is real! I might have to take out a loan!


I went to a buffet the other day and they kicked me out for eating too much.

Oh my gosh, that's the dream haha. What did you eat the most of?

The crazy part is I'm a vegan, but I had like 20 salads.  I guess it was too much! hahahaha.

Wow, that's dedication. I guess those plates add up. That's not a very nice policy for a restaurant to have.


Recently I've been driving my friend's mom to and from the hospital for her chemo treatments. My friend is in the military and she can't drive so it's about the only way for her to get there.

Aww, that is very sweet, kind and thoughtful of you! Has it been troubling for you because I am sure you also have a busy schedule

A little troubling sometimes but It hasn't been too terribly hard to fit in most of the time

That is good, but if it ever becomes too stressful for you I hope that you are able to talk to your friend about it because there are plenty of alternative ways to get her mother to the hospital.


Last night I was getting ready for bed and I saw a ghost in my bedroom.

Of course I did!  It scared me to death!

I can imagine. Did it look like a stereotypical ghost, like Casper?


When I'm driving around and I see a stray dog or cat, I feel so bad that I can't help but stop to pick them up and bring them home! I can't believe how many people neglect their pets!

Oh, man, I have a LOT! I have a pretty big fenced in back yard. I'd say around 20. I need to stop soon, but I can't help it!

Thanks, I appreciate that. I hope others get inspired to do something similar when they hear my story.

i want to rescue but I have to wait until I move. No pets allowed here


I'm prepared tell my girlfriend's parent how much I love my girl

Oh that's exciting! Are you gonna propose or what?

Yes buddy, we have been friends since first grade  and now it's time I take it to the next level :)

That sounds so nice, I wish I had a long term relationship like that!


Waiting for something to come in the mail can send me in to a tizzy. It's even worse when it's parts I need to finish a computer repair job.

I did get it done in the end. It was a nail biter since the client was leaving the day after the parts came.

That's really great. It's nice when everything works out in the end.


Got a bag of candy I'm polishing off. Diabetes be damned

uh oh! Have you checked your sugar lately?

I haven't gotten a physical in over a year.

After that bag of candy, you may want to!


I recently got promoted at my job. It was something I had been trying to obtain for a long time.

wow congrats, how long have you worked there?

6 years! I definitely feel I deserved it!


Would you like to hear about one of the most anxious and exciting times of my life?

One time I took a Greyhoud bus from Atlanta Georgia to Seattle Washington. I was going to work on an organic farm


In high school, I fell down the stairs in front of my crush. My face turned red and I ran away!

He laughed at me. Looking back, I'm sure it was funny but in the moment, I could have died!

I know what you mean. I've done stuff like that too - you do feel a bit silly, don't you!


I think I finally got everything together to apply to graduate school.


I love to play lottery scratch offs!   I once won 4000 on one.

Wow, lucky you. I play those once in a year only

I can understand that, as I usually dont have the money to play to very often.  I couldnt wait to go cash it in.

I do not play too much because if I do not win, I feel it is a waste of money.


She helped us pay off our house so it didn't go into foreclosure.


I went to the bar.  Drank a little too much and forgot to tip my waitress!!


My sister passed away several years ago. I really had a hard time with the grief and couldn't really relate to anyone that tried to help me with it.

i'm sorry to hear that. i know exactly what you are going through. My brother tragically passed away 2.5 years ago. He was only 32

Yes, I'm sure you can relate as well. Ironically, that was the same age that my sister passed away. She took her own life, which my mother and I found her, and it was very hard for us all. But, I couldn't burden my parents with my pain, I felt.

I know how hard it was for you. My parents and my brother lived in a different country so i couldn't even go there at that time to be with them. I felt heartbroken and alone


I don't have much more money to keep living as a college student. But I just have one more year left. After that, hopefully things stabilize.

It's great that you only have one more year left! What are you getting a degree in?

Thanks! I appreciate that. I actually am getting a degree in social work. At the moment, I'm just trying not to become the needy/helpless demographic I seek to serve in a career after I graduate

I totally get that! I am still trying to pay off my student loans.


I keet hearing odd sounds at night... I think there is a racoon in the attic!

I think it's time to call the animal protection unit


That's awesome! I hope you get the good news soon.


My friends car broke down so i let her borrow mine.

That is very nice of you. You two must be really good friends.

we are and also i just felt like she wouldnt damage it!

You are very trusting. Its nice to have a friend like you. Im sure she appreciates it.


"Last week, my husband surprised me with a trip to Charleston, South Carolina next month. I am so excited! We haven't had a vacation in years so I can't even believe it!"

South Carolina is really nice. What are you planning on doing there?

Eat at as many restaurants as I can, go to Folley Beach, explore plantations, and take a carriage ride to name a few. I have been researching a lot.

Sounds like a grand ole time. Everyone likes the good ole carriage ride every now and again.


I was walking out of the store the other day and walked right into the glass pane! It was so clean, I didn't realize the door wasn't open! Talk about humiliating!

Oh no!  I remember doing something similar when I was younger.  There was a pool outside of our screen door.  I went to run and jump into the pool from in the house and smashed right through it!

Yeah, there was no "cool" way to play it off either.  I swallowed my pride and left as quickly as possible.

Gotta roll with it!  Just play it off at that point.


I did! I feel like I am going to crush it.


I got first place in the karaoke contest last weekend.

oh how cool! I bet you have a very beautiful voice. was there any prize?

There was, a free round of beer! There was a lot of talent there so I was surprised I won!

good job! maybe you should pursue a singing career :)


My girlfriend moved some of our mutual money without letting me know

Sorry to hear that my friend.. Was she facing an emergency?

Not really. I dont know what she used it for, she has not told anything to me so far

I know it sucks, but i think you should have an open conversation to your girl about this


I was shocked. I went to Vegas and as soon as I walked into the casino I won 1k on a dollar slot.

THank you!  I love Vegas!  It is so much fun.


I was cornered outside a bar last weekend and some guys stole my wallet! I was so scared I didn't know what to do.

That is so scary! People are so desperate these days.

I know! I blame it on hard drugs and last of government support for addictions and mental health. I really was so freaked out though.

I would have been, too. I am glad you are okay!


I've been taking care of my aging mom for 5 years now and don't really have any friends, since so much time is used taking care of her.

That is a nice thing you are doing for her though. Maybe you could hire somebody for a few hours a week and join a gym or yoga class.

Thank you. Can't afford outside help unfortunatley. Yes. I have picked up exercising though.

Go to a walking path or park. Maybe to a dog park also.


I was really pleased when my son came home excited about being on the honor roll

That's awesome!  I bet you're a proud parent!

Is he getting any gifts because he's done so goo?!


I went to a sketchy part of town once. Just being there put me on edge.

I bet. I'm not a very confrontational person so I do everything I can to avoid places like that

It was for work so I had to do it, but I typically avoid those places as well

You should bring it up to your boss at work for a security guard to accompany you next time!


This weekend I'm taking my kids to Six Flags

That is nice. Do you take them frequently?

Not very often so they're gonna be really surprised.


We had some storming last weekend. It was pretty scary

Oh wow that does sound scary! Are you okay? Any damage to your home?

No damage. There were some trees knocked down close to here though

That's good! I know insurance can be a pain to deal with!


My husband brought me a birthday present last month that I was very excited to receive

An iPhone 8!  I sooo needed a new one, I've been using a 5 for years and it would barely hold a charge.  I really like the 8.


Next month we are finally taking a family vacation. It's been so long, it seems!

Maybe a year and a half... It's nice to  have a little getaway


My brother bought me dinner tonight. It was a nice gesture

That was really nice. I hope you had a good dinner.

Sounds like you have a really nice brother. You are very lucky!


growing up my mom played a lot of Aretha Franklin. Naturally when I heard she passed I was shocked.

Awww. I'm sorry to hear that. Aretha means a lot to you I see

Yes, I have a special place in my heart for classic music.


I opened a corn on the cob and there were worms in it. I hate bugs.

Threw it out right away. I was sad because I love good corn.

i think you could have removed them and still ate it. isnt that normal for them to have bugs in them sometimes?


My sister and I used to chase the ice cream truck when we were kids.

i used to get screwballs with my sister. those were our favorites  as kids

I liked the strawberry shortcake creamsicle. I still buy them. They are too high on the truck now

how awesome. it's fun to remember the good old days


I'd still take a bullet for my ex and her family. Even though she blocked me on Facebook. Call me a sucker but that girl was my first love and she gave me so much I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for her

Definitely not a sucker! If she helped you a lot and you wouldn't be here without her, then YES! Why did she block you? Were you bad to her? Sounds familiar to what has happened between me and a few...I was there for them but had enough and I have had to cuit them out too-

Yes I messed up and ruined a good thing.  I was stressed at my job and took it out on her.  But I'm now self-employed living the dream and just wish she was still by my side

That is hard..I have been abused and burned...and sometimes you just can't go back..It's like the story of a the girl with the feather pillow..once you say something..you can't ever get it back and it's so hard to repair. Its hard to ever trust someone once they have broken it..I am there myself and don't know if I could ever trust or live with that person again. Life is hard but I am VERY glad you have learned and will treat others better


I robbed my coworker wallet last week. I feel bad about it. I needed the money for my addiction to drugs.

That's not good!  Have you considered going to rehab?

I have try that but I didn't work for me. I feel like my addiction is stronger than me.

Maybe a different facility could help?  Addiction isn't something you can deal with by yourself.


I bet! Does your family do a large dinner as well?

Oh wow! That sounds amazing! My family usually does something relatively small. But I'm cajun so we put a unique twist on the food!


A tarantula bit me in my living room the other day and I thought I was going to die.

Oh my gosh! Was it a wild tarantula or a pet?

It was a wild tarantula. I had my family rush me to the hospital, but I ended up being just fine. It only caused me discomfort for a couple of days.

Thank goodness! The biggest type of spider we have here if a wolf spider. They don't really bite you unless you irritate them.


I had some financial problems. I finally paid all my debts. It is a big relief. I am so happy.

That is great.  That is a big worry off your shoulders I'm sure.

Yes, now I think about the future. That is nice.

I am glad to hear it.  It is a lot more productive to focus on the future than the past.


My son started writting. He is three years old. He is making so much progress.

I keep helping him to pratice. It is really awesome.


Recently heard that my father was laid off from his job. He's retirement age anyway, but I felt bad for him, as that must have been, at the very least, slightly humiliating. He's been a hard worker for 40 years, and has done well to support the family. But I do worry for him in the short-term.

Oh that's awful!  I hope he is going to be okay.  Did they lay him off with severence or anything?

Yeah, he gets severance. He was a hotel manager, and I don't think the hotel was doing well, but I'm not sure that could or would be entirely attributed to his performance. Think they just wanted a change of scenery. I'm partially glad, since he needs to relax anyway. It will be good for his health

Yeah.  He will get to spend more time with you all now!  Take the father on a vacation!


My dog just passed away and he was the only friend I had.

Yeah, it has been hard these last few days.  He had cancer, but he went pretty fast at the end.

I know this is so hard for you but he is in no more pain and I am sure he is watching over you


I Think my husband is cheating but I'm scared to investigate.

Investigate that right now! You need to know

What if it true and I murder him in his sleep?

I would not do that, just get a divorce and take half of all.


I love the gifts that i received last week on my birthday

Happy birthday. What was your favorite gift?


"I was getting ready for work when my boss called and said I could take the day off with pay. He made my heart sing I was so happy.

How nice of him! How did you earn such an honorable gesture?

They had been doing some remodeling over the weekend but didn't finish in time to open.

Ah, well, I hope you enjoyed it! I am sure that won't happen often.


A few weeks ago, I had to have some repair work done in my bathroom, what they found surprised me.

The guy had to take out a piece of wall to get to the pipes, and what he found was the entire inside of the all the bathroom walls filled with black mold.

Oh yuck!!! That is terrible! I have heard of people getting really sick from this black mold in the house. What are you going to do?


Both of my daughters are fine musicians.

Wow thats amazing! How old are they and what do they play?

Oh! Two of the most beautiful instruments! Congrats! Does musical ability run in your family?

Awesome! What do you hope for their future?


I leave on vacation in 2 days! Can't wait


I recently started seeing a lady and I want to be committed to her to help build our relationship.

Oh that sounds nice, have you had trouble in the past staying committed?

I have made fumbles in the past, but I'm working on self improvement. Also I'm trying to keep an open mind.

Well, life isn't a football game, so "fumbles" are something that everyone does.


My boyfriend hasn't been paying much attention to me lately.

That is such a bummer have you spoken to him about this issue?

He says I am imagining it and that I am overreacting, but he is always talking to his female coworker.

That may be a issue I mean you want to trust\t your significant other but as women we know the changes and signs trust me.


I am sure I will do well on my test tomorrow. Wish me luck.


My mom used to make me fried rice all the time, when I was little

Yea so do I. Whenever I make it, I kinda miss my mom.

Oh. I am the same with lemon icebox pies and my grandmother


My first dog died a year ago. He was only 4 years old.

I am sorry for your loss. How did he die if you don't mind me asking?

He had to have surgery because he ate something he shouldn't and it got caught. They told us he only had a 5% chance of survival and even then he would be in a lot of pain for a long time. We put him down to keep him out of pain.

That's terrible... At least you tried to save him.


I accidentally ran into a glass wall once when I wasn't paying attention

Oh man! That must of hurt even if it didn't break.

It did! Luckily it didn't break because that would have been even more embarassing (and costly)

It's crazy how glass is hard to notice when it's like perfectly clean.


i was extremely disgusted when a close friend of mine threw up on my baby. he was really drunk at a party we were at

I would have flipped and never talked to him again. I am so sorry my god what did you do?

what else can i do? i washed my kid clean and got the hell out of there

Idk beat him up, lol. throw a drink at him, the sky is the limit!


yes, 5 months ago and still hurts inside.

I bet it does. I am so sorry. Try to think of all the good times with him.


I am going to try and start my lawn mower today, it's missing a part.

I am feeling confident I can get it to start. I am not paying anyone $20 to mow it..They never showup anyhow. It's a hassle...People don't like to work here


I knew the football team would win tonight!

That always makes it a great night when your team wins!

Of course, I know they will beat the browns!

You should have placed a bet since you were so confident. You could have won a bundle.


Someone wrecked my car the other day. I'm so mad.

Oh that's awful! Will insurance cover it?

That's terrible. I hope you can get some compensation and feel better.


My dog had bone cancer and we had to put her down. It was a very sad, but necessary decision.

it takes a strong and compassionate person to make that kind of decision.

It was very hard, but she was suffering. Our vet was very helpful and we did ask him if he thought it was too soon. He assured us that it was not.

She had a happy life. I'm sure she understands.


I cried when I found out I couldn't attend Harvard.


I lost my best friend last year when he moved to Chicago because he got accepted into a master's program, and he made me feel like our friendship meant nothing since he was going on to do bigger and better things.

That can be pretty hard to swallow, do you stay in touch? It's easier these days with the likes of social media. How do you fill that void?

We don't really stay in touch anymore. He and his fiance invited me to their wedding, though. He's not a social media person, and I'm not either, so we've basically lost touch. I haven't filled the void, unfortunately, but I feel okay about it now.

That's such a shame, we grieve any kind of loss, I suppose. Perhaps the wedding would bring you closer together?

Maybe it will. I'm not sure, but I feel more happy for him now than I do envious and hurt. So, whatever happens, happens. It's okay.

I hope it works out for you, life is too short. Fill your life with wonderful things and wonderful things will surely happen.


Me either, so rude! It happens too often.

it's like they think your time is worthless, I don't understand it

Yeah people who do that have zero self awareness. :/


Before signing the contract, the landlord made promises that he will do some reparations but he never kept his word.

What a bummer. Landlords suck for the most part.

I agree with you. I am looking to move now. I don't want to deal with him.


Awesome! Congratulations! I'm sure you earned it.

It's good that they appreciate you and are kind enough to reward you for your efforts!


I already have 6 kids, getting pregnant again is so alarming :(

Wow, that sounds like a very busy household. How are you able to manage them all?

I hire a nanny, I am anti abortion but now that it has happened again, I am afraid I just have to do something that I wouldn't like

A nanny is a good idea. Would you consider using contraceptives?


I was woken up by a noise and it sounded like someone was coming toward my bedroom.

I woke my boyfriend up and he secured the house. We think it was the cat. lol


i was planning to go to work today and when i got closer to my car i noticed a snake. nope, not today. came back home and called off work today

just laying there waiting to bite me i guess. I ain't coming close to it! I'm absolutely terrified of snakes


I couldn't sleep last night at all, I kept hearing some weird bumping sounds that made me think someone was walking up and down my stairs but I live alone.

Thats so scary, do you believe in ghosts?

I do and that's the first thing I thought it could be.


I recently had an existential crisis. It was awful

I watched the new Avengers movie and a lot of people die. And I realized we're all going to die and there's no way to know what that's like. And then I felt sick for a couple days and couldn't stop thinking about it

Wow.  It had that much of an effect on you?  That it made you consider your own mortality?

Yea. I don't know why, it was the dumbest thing. I was really upset.

Well it's good to remember your mortality, even if you have to ignore it to continue normal life.


I used the restroom at a nice restaurant and I had toilet paper stuck to my shoe and didn't know it until I left.

Oh that is the worst feeling! I hate using the restroom in public as is.

Yeah, I wish someone told me at least. They all probably just laughed. Haha

Maybe.  For me I just don't want to cause a stranger to be embarassed lol


there was only one monster drink left, i wanted to get it instead my sister got it! and i feel so envious and angry!

not cool! i love monsters! i hate when my girlfriend takes the last one

thankfully my fiance doesn't like monster that much


I planted a whole bunch of flower bushes this year. I cannot wait until next spring when my entire garden will be in bloom with so many wonderful colors and smells.

It will be amazing!  I should do that too!

Yes! I just went to the local nursery and they had so many plants to choose from. I made sure to only choose the ones that had some kind of fragrant smell. I am dreaming of all the flower arrangements I will make next year.

That sounds so great!   I hope your plants grow beautifully!


We planned our honeymoon and booked a flight but I was so nervous about flying.

Don't worry. It will be okay. Flights are always safe

I found that out, after many sleepless nights. Now we fly all the time and I love it. I feel kind of silly.


Being reasonably competent, unlike most of my co-workers.

Be grateful. Most people don't have a team to make them look good by comparison.


It's been over a year since my last cup of coffee. Today was the day I taste the sweet juice of the god's again.

To show my self I had self control. I was drinking like 5 cups a day.

Today as soon as my lips touched the cup. I felt my soul smile.

I bet. I get that feeling every morning with a Dr Pepper


I found out my baby didn't weigh enough so I devoted my time to helping him catch up.

That's awesome that you devoted time to care for him!  How is he doing?

He is weighing enough now luckily, but he seems a little skinny in some spots to me still.

That's great you got him up to a healthy weight!  Kudos on you!  I'm sure those spots will even out eventually.


wow that is great, good luck, your gonna need it with twins!


I've never been a big roller coaster fan.  I don't know if  you like them or not, but they scare me.

Oh I love the thrill of a good roller coaster.

Well, someone I was conned into getting on one and before I knew it, I was strapped in and could not get off.  I literally felt my heart stop.

It's definitely not for everyone. You either love them or you don't.


Anytime I see a bear, I run the other way.

I cant imagine seeing one in real life. I would be so scared.

I have seen a few camping. I always just run away.

I dont think I could go anywhere where they may be. Its terrifying to think about.


i i feel lower than dirt after betraying my wifes trust

ah well that would be a good reason then


The other night I was watching this documentary about a puppy mill getting busted and the dogs getting rescued.  I wanted to adopt everyone of them

Those poor dogs! I hate puppy mills so much and unfortunately I live in an area where they are very common.

Really?   We actually have a lot of rescue places in my town.  They do not take kindly to people abusing animals in my neck of the woods.

There are laws here but they find ways around them. People are cruel and only care about money.


I went to an EDM concert that had artists that I used to listen to. It was a blast from the past!

I have never heard of an EDM, what is that?

Electronic Dance Music. It's where all the hipster millennials gather to party and listen to trippy music haha

Lol- sounds like fun! Nothing better than nice hippies!


Years ago I used to have such a good time. I had money to spend, time to do the things I love. How I long for those times again!

I know exactly how you feel, I've been slipping back into paycheck to paycheck living recently. It was so much better when I had the money to pay for everything.

Didn't the sun always shine back then, when we were happy and young and had money?!

Hahaha yes, you are so right. Then again, I'm a Christian so I am also comforted when I remember that we have a real, more important and awesome life to look forward to one day.


I've been going to the gym for the last 3-4 years and haven't missed a single workout.

Oh yeah. Being dedicated and consistent is what will get you the furthest when it comes to fitness! I feel great!

Keep it up. One day you might appear in a fitness magazine.


One of my coworkers really ticked me off one day. She decided she would delegate some work to me by slamming on my desk and demanding I do it. She had some nerve!

Yes, she doesn't have the right to do that. I have been that many years longer than her, and it was her work! I let her know it too.


That sounds awesome!  What are you going to do?

We are going to a fancy restaurant. I bought y husband an apple watch


I saw a tv show last night where a guy ate a live squid

Oh wow, that sounds like something I wouldn't do

It was a travel cookery show - he was in Korea and apparently it's a delicacy there.


I have been trying to get pregnant and I am feeling all the symptoms of pregnancy. I think I might be!

I'm trying to not to get too excited yet but I will scream and shout for joy if its positive.


Stuffed animals are always an endearing thing to hang on to.


We all were excited when my sister came home for Christmas. She brought her whole family.

That's fun. Will anybody be dressing as Santa?

Haha! Nobody ever dresses as Santa, but the kids still believe in Santa which is very fun.

Maybe you could pay someone to come into your house as Santa! And all the kiddies will be amazed!


I was throwing away some trash yesterday and I thought I saw an opossum run across my grass.

Yea I was freaked out because I thought they were poisonous or something. They also play dead, they are weird.


Last month, this area got pounded with rainfall. My entire home town was flooded and declared a disaster area.

Wow. That's intense. Did your home get any damage?

No, I move away from there some years ago, but I hate seeing the place I grew up basically destroyed now.

Yeah. I feel for you. It hurts to lose things like that.


love getting together with my brother and reminiscing about when we were younger

Things were much simpler when we were kids. You are your brother must have a close relationship.

We do but we don’t see each other often enough

I'm sorry to hear that. I guess it makes the times you do see each other even more special!


I don't know. I just got the call that I won.  I've got to set a date.

That sounds really exciting. Are you taking someone along?


it was suprising seeing someone eat a 3 lbs burger for a free tshirt

I'll bet it was! That must have been an enormous burger!

yea it was, and it was kinda gross towards the end

Haha! I'd need a lot more than a free tshirt to eat a 3 pound burger!


I was going through the stuff in my attic last night

Yeah I found some old pictures of when us kids used to go to my grandma's house for xmas


All my friends got to go on vacation, but I'm stuck here doing work because I have a tight job deadline

Thats a bummer! I hope you guys can plan something together once the deadline is over!

Maybe, but I'm not sure when another opportunity like this will come. It really gets me down

I know :/ ...just make sure you do something fun when you have a chance!


Ok, so the people upstairs were making a terrible noise last night and I'd had enough. I put jazz on quite loudly and went to bed. I really shouldn't have done that!

Well, they were shouting and stomping around, so I lost it! This morning, they've been quiet as church mice, so I guess it worked :)

that would really help if it was a permanent solution

Yeah, I really do feel bad, but it's been going on for over a year.

yeah enough is enough. i totally can't say i blame you.

Perhaps I'll try classical music next time - that might totally shut them up, lol.

bwahaha not to mention it will help you get some relaxing sleep.


I love hockey, are you ready for the season?

I am, I like the Oilers, who's your favorite team?


I have been traveling for a month now. I am starting to miss my family and friends.

Im in Vietnam right now. This hostel I am in is so empty.


I went to the mall with my neice, suddenly she started to cry, she lost her purse with all her money.

Oh no that's terrible! Did you end up finding her purse?

No, we did not find it, we even alerted the security at the mall.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Hopefully your niece feels better now and hasn't lost too much.


I just had to bury my Golden retriever today. I had him for 10 years.

Oh no. I'm so sorry.  I feel you.  I lost my sweet springer spaniel, Pepper, not long ago. Are you coping okay?

I'm fine, I went out and got a new one this evening.

Well, that's a wonderful thing.  You had a good time with the first one and this new one will breathe life into your day and pull any sadness away.  What will you name it?


What has made it such a long  year for you?

Financial troubles mostly. I've been working my tail off to solve that.

Well, I hope you can get that stuff taken care of, I have had lots of trouble with money in my life. Takes a lot of hard work to fix it.


Same here. Maybe we ate at the same one?

Me too! NYC? We should sue and become millionaires.


My son recently got married, and I gained a new daughter in law. The wedding was beautiful, everyone had a great time !

She's quite the gal. Treats my son with the utmost respect.


I was able to make it through some hard times when my parents were able to lend me some money to finish college.

That was really nice of them and lucky they were able to help you.

Yes, it was. It was a life changer that got me on my feet so I could be able to enjoy life.

Congratulations on graduating college and I wish you the very best.


I quit smoking maybe twice a month. I want to quit for forever.

I know. I can't make it a whole day though.

You have to try, it could change your life.


Ill never forget the day that my little puppy died of cancer.

Literally never have been the sane,  But its a life lesson.


My girlfriend got me concert tickets to see my favorite band this weekend. She told me they were sold out.

How did she get them if they were sold out?

Thats only what she told me. She waited until my birthday today to say that she was actually able to get them.

Wow thats awsome man. Who are you seeing?


My dog eats other animals poop. I have seen them eat goat, duck and cow poop. I hope they don't get sick.

Oh, wow! That is crazy, have you talked to the vet?

The vet says that this can be normal but to make sure that I give them their worm pills regularly.

I thought it would be normal. Good thing to be cautious.


Hi friend, do you have any mailings awaiting you?

I am expecting a letter with my bonus check!

Nice, I hope you get a nice bonus check!


My toilet backed up in my house last weekend! I was so grossed out!

I think my kid put too much toilet paper in it!


My new neighbors just moved in, and they are around my age. Hope we can be friends.

My neighbors are terrible so I hope you have a good relationship

Oh I've got terrible neighbors, too. I know that feeling. I hope these are a lot better.

I actually had some move in a couple of days ago. I have figured them out yet lol


Do you know anyone who spends a ton on eating out every week? It's crazy to me how much they spend.

I know that when just the 4 people in my family do go out, it runs us about $65.  So we do it very rarely, it wastes a lot of money.

Yes, exactly. A friend was telling me they spent almost $300 a week on eating out. I don't even spend that much on groceries.

A week!?  That is just crazy, and pretty irresponsible unless you are a millionaire.


I recently invested pretty heavily into cryptocurrency. I'm anxiously awaiting to see if it pays off!

That is very risky and volatile!  With no risk, there is no reward!  I am rooting for you!

Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, it is a bit risky. I did invest heavily, but not so much so that it burdens my finances.

That is a good position to be in.  There have been millionaires made in crytocurrency.


My grandparents have been married for 50 years I hope to be like that one day.

That is awesome. I never even get a second date A husband may not be in the cards lol

lol you just haven't came across the right person yet. It is incredible I arranged and had them a surprise dinner party it turned out very nice.


i try not to drink to much on the weekends with my friends ,but when i do i start doing dumb stuff and wake up in the morning apologizing to everyone

I've been there before!  Do you ever remember the stuff that you do?

no , but everyone told me how i messed up the night before

Oh no!  I hope it wasn't too embarrasing!


I just gave up smoking cigarettes. It was pretty hard, but the worst part is how everything puts you on edge and it is hard to relax.

Oh wow, I wish I could find the courage to do that, it surely takes a lot of will power. how did you do it>

I closed my eyes and visualize a world where anything was possible. I called this world IMAGINATION land.

I will totally have to try that, It really is difficult to stop smoking!


I'm planning to buy new pet. I've 2 already.

A cute puppy. I clear some spaces for him in my home!


I have to make a dreadful phone call tomorrow

I'm late on my rent and I need another week. I don't want to because my landlord isnt very nice

Oh no, I've been there done that too many times.


I'd have been nervous too.  When will you find out?


I got off work at 10am today! Time to head to the beach.

AHHHHHHHHHH!  That is amazing.  I am so jealous of you.  Where are you going?


I recently got a care package from my sister who lives overseas. She didn't tell me that she was sending it. But it really delighted me.

You are so lucky to have such caring sister

Thank you. I agree. She really is great most of the time.

I hope you can reciprocate by sending her a birthday message  when it's time for it so she knows you care for her


My son recently came home from his grandparents and had a gift for me. I was so excited!

He had helped his grandpa make me a planter box and had filled it with soil and seeds for different herbs.

That sounds way better than the stuff I would try to make for my mom when I was little!


I tried a new lasagna recipe and it turned out amazing!

Really! That's awesome! Was there something new in it you don't usually use?

Yeah quote a few ingredients and a littlr e more work but totally worth  it

I think lasagna is one of my favorite things to make


Last week when I was coming back to my home from office, a strange man approached me

I had a gun. I felt I was ready. If anything would have happened, I could have used it.


I was really touched to watch my daughter program

Wow, she is talented. Is programming difficult/?

She was in a program for choir. She did great

Oh, I thought you meant like computer programming. You must be so proud


I helped my brother study for his final exam. He studied really diligiently with me every day. But in the end on the actual exam he managed to fail it!

I know. I'm just so annoyed at all the time we spent...

Did he just freeze up on the test or was it different then the stuff you studied?


I went to work with some serious bedhead. I went to the bathroom after being there for a few hours I saw how awful I looked! I

Nope no one told me. It was so upsetting and I just looked terrible.


I was looking through my old school yearbooks. It had been awhile since I saw them. It really brought back a lot of memories

Ah, I certainly know the feeling of bringing back old memories. It's fun to go back and remember the people you shared all those classes with, isn't it?

It's amazing what you have forgotten until you see the pictures and then it all comes flooding back.

I know exactly what you mean! All the old flames, the old rivalries, everything is like it was yesterday. It's a pretty cool feeling.


We've had our dog for over 8 years. He past away this spring.

I'm so so sorry!  We lost our chihuahua in February, so I completely understand that feeling.  Was he sick prior to passing away or was it sudden?

It was sudden. He was completely fine when we went to bed. No issues at all. Its been hard for our daughter

I think it might actually be harder to watch our kids go through that kind of loss than to actually go through it ourselves.  Our pup was our daughter's dog and she was sick prior to passing, so we knew it was coming.  Still doesn't really help though.  We ended up adopting a pup from the shelter that had lost her human mom - it was meant to me - my daughter lost her pup and this pup had lost her mom.  It's helped, something to think about at least.


I'm feeling very positive about my future lately.  Big money opportunities everywhere kaching kaching bling bling burrr

Awesome.  Sounds like you are defintely on top of the world today!

What kind of money we talking?  Lottery money?


It went so much better than expected, she loves me back!

Wow that is awesome. What kind of animal is it?

Oh sorry I thought maybe you got a pet. Well I am happy for you guys!


I saw a stranger on the side of the road who needed a ride.

I was not sure whether or not to help them. You can't trust anyone these days.


My son is 16 months and he finally learned how to use a spoon and a fork. I've been trying to teach him for a couple of months!

Amazing! I wish I could see a pic of it!

He is still very messy but he really enjoys eating like a big boy

Oh he will be, but enjoy it, only babies once


Not, really.That is a state of mind.What are you, a robot???


I finished a class and most of my classmates got an A! It took a lot of work.

That's great. Takes a lot of dedication to be that prepared.

It sure does! I am so proud of the hard work that everyone put in!

You should be, not everyone can really be that dedicated about something.


My kids are always not listening it drives me so crazy

Would you believe that doesn't work they still don't listen

yea i can believe it.. but it makes you feel better!


I am jealous of my brother because he is better than me in sport.

In any sport, soccer, swimming, running, etc

You're not good at a single one of those? I was a strong swimmer when I was a kid.


I am getting really nervous about my upcoming trip. I am going away for six months.

It is. I feel like I am not well prepared though. I am just ready to leave.

oh dang ive never really been in that situation before


I have to go to the dentist really soon. One of my teeth are really sensitive lately.

It is definitely good to get that looked at right away. Then they can take care of it!

Yes, that is true. I am one of those people who hate the dentist.

Oh I know it's hard. Just try to relax and it will go quick.


I'm am so afraid of the dark. I can't fall asleep so I have to have a light on in order to fall asleep.

Have you always had this fear of the dark


I'm excited for school to start and for the kids to get out of my hair for at least some of the day!

I have 6 year old and an 11 year old.  I'll have the mornings to myself at last!

Ohhh! Those times are nice. I only have a partner but I know I love my quiet mornings and my morning routine :)


No lol.  Going to go ride some rollercoasters.  First time ever.

Oh wow that's exciting! I'm happy for you.


I did! I got an A and I am so proud and happy !

Congratulations! That's great news. Well deserved


I can't wait for the new Super Smash Brothers game to be released.

It's a video game that includes Mario and a bunch of toher characters, it's by Nintendo.

I used to LOVE Mario Kart - I'm not a big video game fan but I loved that one.  I can see why you are excited about it coming out!


I'm going camping next weekend. It's finally stopped raining.

Well, that sounds like fun! It's definitely much better without the rain.

Yes, they are such a nuisance! Bring some bug spray for sure. And watch out for food hunting critters!


I visited my old home town recently and it has gone down hill so much.  A lot of the houses are run down and dilapidated. So sad.

That sucks..... always bad to see something like that. Did you atleast enjoy your trip?

Yeah, I got to see a few people I knew . It was still fun

Aw thats good! Im glad you still had a good time.


At the airport, I found my luggage broken and objects where stolen

That must have been stressful. Did you report it?

Yes, I filed a complain. I was so angry that could control my temper when I was talking to the agent.

Are they going to accept responsibility and buy you new items?


I cant imagine how much that hurts.. I would be so sad.

It always hurts more when its unexpected. Hopefully time heals.


I stole money out of my church's collection plate.

I just needed money for alcohol.  I feel so ashamed.

I think you need to go and talk to someone, your pastor may be the best place to start.


I'm entering a music contest with my friends. This is our first!

That's a lot. What kind of music do you play>


I had to fly the other day and i was so scared.

yea but man i was scared. Almost shaking on the plane.

Aww, that's too bad.  I hope you don't have to fly a lot.

No  fortunately. But i had to see my family.

Yeah, driving is sometimes not an option.  How long is that flight?  I hope short!

Ugh, that's not great though.  But, yes, it could be a lot worse like across the country long.


My dog chewed my favorite pair of shoes up last week.

No she got me with those eyes but I was very irate with her for a few days and she knew it.

I'd be angry too, but it's hard to get mad at doggos.


I was basically a second mother to my little brother!

Yes, I was always taking care of him and making sure he had what he needed.


I didn't got accepted in the college I applied to

Oh I'm sorry. That must suck. Any second choice?

Yes, but I haven't received a letter from them yet


I remember when we were younger , and my brother came home one of his eyes was swollen shut, and he had a giant gash under his other, he had gotten jumped i almost cried in just anger

ah no thats horrible i hate to hear that

he bumped into one of the main ones that jumped him, and my brother beat him up twice , shortly after we both joined jiu jitsu

thats legit! i love mma and jiu jitsu is crucial


Our youngest daughter is in a local ballet company.  They are dancing at Scottish Rite Children's hospital next month.

I'm so very glad that they are focused on giving back.  A few months ago they worked with a local community in a trailer park, bringing dance to kids that don't have any exposure to it.

That's such a great idea! Dance is a great exercise for kids.


I recently got married and I'm so lucky to have found someone who enjoys doing the same things that I do.

Congrats! It is nice to find someone with things in common. Shared interests can be fun.

Thank you. It is nice. This is a second marriage for us both and I like that we are both happy with things just the way they are, no high expectations

I'm on my 2nd as well. I like to think that we will do things more wisely the second time around. best of luck to you both!


I told my best friends about my suicidal thoughts.

It's really a good start to recognized that you should talk about it. We all need someone to just listen once in awhile.

Yeah you're right. I had faith in them and they ended up being really supportive.

Oh that's a good friend. I hope your feeling better now.


i was scared to walk home the other night

Me too, sometime, I had the same feeling about someone walking behind me.


i just opened my whataburger bag when my wife reached for my fries

Nice! How is your business doing nowadays?

its great,  but i cant believe she eats after me every time.

That's really great. I am proud of your success.


We recently got a new puppy. My older dog waits his turn and knows the puppy should go outside to the bathroom first.

Aww, sounds like he is teaching the puppy. That's so sweet.

It is pretty awesome!  I'm impressed that he knows he doesnt need to be first and the puppy should have priority.


So when adults don't clean up after themselves in a business environment -- what is that ?! Why do they think a "mommy" will come along to clean up after them?!

LOL! This is perfect timing because I had the " You are an adult not a child" conversation with my girlfriend not too long ago. I had left popsicle wrapper on the night stand and it got sticky. I argued if you are willing to date someone who likes to eat Popsicles in bed, then you have to deal with the consequences.

LOL! Okay, y'all are a sitcom. I have to ask what flavor. (And yes, I side with your girlfriend. If for no other reason: ANTS. You do NOT want ants marching into your bed toward any potentially sensitive regions. Okuuurrrrrr?)

Okay, it wasn't just one, it was three: One cherry, and two grape. How anyone can eat just one at a time? Oh, the number of wrappers was also brought up. Like, I don't care if yuo bought them for the kids, I am part of this household as well. I tried to make it a teaching moment about how if you don't get the popsicles first someone else would, but I think my arguments have been falling on deaf ears for awhile now, lol


Over the past year I've been on a weight loss journey of over 100 pounds.

Wow, that is truly incredible! What is your secret?

As well as exercise and diet, by far the most important thing is strong will and determination.

That is so true! You are a true weight loss warrior I think!


Im so proud of myself.  I started a new job today!

Oh YAY congrats! You should be proud of yourself, that's a good accomplishment

I know.  I had my last job 5 years so it was hard to make myself quit and try something new.

Yeah, people get comfortable even if they don't like it. It's sometimes good to try something new.


I always try to tell my kids they need to be kind and understanding to others, no matter what.

I think those are very important lessons. Do they always listen?

They try but it's hard when there are so many bullies at school. I wish other parents would try to do the same.

I'm a parent and I wish the exact same thing.


I am planning to travel around the world next year, starting off in europe and ending in south america

oh wow, this is my passion too, which EU country are you going to start first?

Have you done much travel? I am going to start in spain then go to france

i have, and i plan to travel the world in 1-2 years with my wife, spain is amazing, you're going to enjoy yourself i wish you the best


I've been feeling down since my pet died.

It will get better. I know that is a tough thing.


I feel very happy when my children are happ

That is the greatest feeling in the world, to see them smiling.

I do.  A child's laugh takes away all of life's stress.


My wife has been out of the country for the last 2 months for school.

I do.  She's getting back soon, but it's been tough being along with the dogs every night.

Well, at least the dogs still have you for company. I'm sure you'll be happy when she gets back though.


That's a loaded statement.. Can you unpack that for me? What are you so excited about that's coming up?

The family and I are going on a vacation to Florida.  So pumped!!

Oh, right on. Do you guys not have school starting already though? Maybe you guys have kids that aren't school-aged. Anyway, I've only been a couple of times, to go to Disney World. Is that where you guys are going? If so, I hope you have a good time!


i just love christmas , and every time a christmas story movie comes on around december i just have to sit down and watch it , brings back happy memories

Its the best honestly , well i like  the other holidays but this one just has a special place in my heart


My wife planned a welcoming party for me behind my back!

That's nice of her!  I bet you were shocked when you saw everybody!

I was! I was surprised at how secretively they had kept it. It brightened up my week.

That's awesome, it's nice to feel loved.


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

That is impressive! Where they ok afterwards?

That's what they get for eating that much food!


I was going through my attic and found some of my old childhood toys

You must be feeling nostalgic, maybe your kids will enjoy them

You are right and I am really looking back fondly on some times in the past

Right, it's amazing how one thing can bring back so many memories


I get sentimental about my brothers, they are very important to me

That is very sweet. I assume you guys are close.

Very much, we do everything together pretty much

That is great that you have that kind of relationship.


Man... i just lost the championship game for my football team

Yea it wasn't grea a lot of my friends will be sad for days.

Eh next year they'll have forgotten it mostly


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


It was.  They had a blast and I caught the biggest catfish I've ever caught!

That is cool!  I bet you all had a really great time


I saw an ad for Disneyland and I remembered the first time I had ever been there

I LOVED Disneyland growing up! Did you go often? How old were you and what was your favorite ride?

Splash Mountain, of course :D I was maybe 9 or 10, and I've only been once

Ha! I hear you on that. I also loved the Matterhorn! And the Haunted House. We used to spend summers in Tucson with my grandparents, and they would drive us to Disneyland every year ;-)


But yeah - school started for the kids today and it was weird how quiet it was once the bus pulled away.

Oh, but I bet you appreciated it! Summer can get long.

It can.  But we had fun!  Visited lots of relatives, cooked lots of stuff, goofed off and watched more anime than is probably humanly possible...a part of me is enjoying the quiet but on the other hand, I miss having my kids around to do stuff with.

Oh, that does sound like a fun summer. I read recently that we only get 18 summers with our kids- make them count.

Yep - and I have two left with the older one.  They do grow up so fast!

It's good to stop and appreciate teh moment sometimes.


My two daughters make me happy in my life.

I've never experienced anything as nice.


Yeah I found my old NES!  I remember those days!

Oh wow! Those were fun. Did you play it?
