My sister actually paid my back on time last week

Well, that's good. Did she borrow money from you?

she always does and never pays it back on time. But this time she did

Perhaps she's turned over a new leaf. It's very good of you to lend her money, even if she is your sister.

It's surprising how people suddenly wake up and realize that perhaps they haven't been acting as perhaps they should have.


My work has been going very well lately. I'm up for a promotion.

Nice! What kind of job is it? Are you going to be a manager?

It's in research, and yes, I'll be the department head.


I spilled my coffee on my way to work. That cost me $4 and I was really looking forward to it.

That sucks, if it had been in the coffee shop maybe it could have been replaced.

I was already five blocks away. I had to drink the gross coffee at the office. I usually dont buy coffee so I was trying to treat myself.

They have these new portable cup holders that attach to almost anything. Maybe that can help in the future.


I saw a wolf or coyote in my yard a while back and I think it killed a little beaver that lived in the creek  for years behind my house.

That must have been amazing to see!  Did you try to scare it away or just watch it?  Be careful since it sounds like it may be dangerous.

No I didn't see it happen, there was a piece of a dead animal that looked like the beaver in my yard, just the mouth and eyes were left. ugh..


I am worried about my upcoming court date. :(

I wish I could relate, but I've never had to go to court. I hope it goes smoothly for you. All I've ever heard is to dress appropriately and to speak as respectfully as you can as possible.

Yea that's what my attorney keeps telling me. I don't want to have to pay a large fine.

I hope for your sake that you don't have to, either. But this doesn't have to define you. How you respond can, though. If you're mentally tough, it will be a bump in the road. I guess do whatever you can to maintain healthy focus.


We had a doberman for over 8 years. He passed away last spring. It was a hard time for our family.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. I know pets can be like one of the family.

They are like having another child! I hope to have another doberman one day. They're really good dogs.

You should adopt a rescue dog. That would be great for the family.


Oh no! I hope your toe is feeling better!

Luckily it will heal soon and you can feel back to normal.


I can't believe he won't let me play baseball anymore.

Oh that's terrible! If you don't mind me asking; Who and why?

My stepdad won't let me play baseball anymore simply because I hurt my arm throwing.

Maybe he is trying to do what he thinks is best. I'm sure it's out of love not just being mean.


As a summer class, I have successfully passed my Linear Algebra class. I am so happy and satisfied with my results so far

That is great, do you have any other classes this summer?

No. I only took this one class as I expected it would take much of my time for being an advanced class


Some of my friends brag too much about the things they have. It makes me a little green sometimes.

I totally get that. My sister does the same thing. It's hard not to feel envious even if you have a good life.

I know, right? I work very hard, some of my friends have no idea what hard work is yet they have so much.

I have friends like that too. To be honest, I have dropped friendships over this.


My baby had his first day of school yesterday! It was a huge day, but I made sure to have everything I needed ready to go, to help things run smoothly

That's great! Was it Kindergarten or Pre-School?

Preschool, we put him in a Montessori preschool and absolutely loved it, luckily my older son has went there for 2 years and this will be his last year, so starting next week they get to go together!

That's great! Did you cry when you took him?

i did, they had to pry him off of me haha, it was his first time being away from me, but it is only for 3 hours 3 days a week, so I know he will be fine

That's true. When my kids went to school the first day, I just kept standing around until one of the teachers finally told me I could go...


I've been dieting really hard for three months now to get ready for a bodybuilding show I have coming up. The results speak for themselves and I think I got this one in the bag!

New Orleans, Louisiana! I'm so hyped up... but hungry. Once it's over and I go home with my first place trophy, I'm going to eat like a pig!

that sounds amazing! check out the french quarter while you are there.


My friend is a single mom, works full-time and goes to school fulltime.

She is a hard worker. Her husband passed away suddenly, and she's working hard to support the family.


I had some tests done at the doctors yesterday, hopefully i hear good news

i hope all goes well. was something the matter that made you decide to have the tests done?


I did a bit of the Appalachian Trail. Luckily, I had over-prepared as my flashlight had broken and it would have been difficult if I didn't have a spare

This is a trail where you can walk for months?


I'm sorry to hear that, growing up can be tough.

Yeah, I was an only child, and over 300 miles from any extended family growing up.

That is hard, especially being so far away from family.


I was walking around with my brother on a Sunday, and I got into a pointless argument with him. I am disappointed that I left myself get caught up in it.

I think we all do that with our siblings. I'm sure he knows you still enjoy spending time with him anyway.

Yes we talked it over and thought about all the good times we have when we get along!

I'm glad you were able to remedy the situation so easily! I think that shows you have a really good relationship with him.


Long time ago, we saw a driver throw a kitten out of his car window. We picked him up and brought him home.

That's so nice of you, I would have chased down the car, but you did the right thing

He was such a sweet kitten. We had him for years. He's gone now and miss him still.

Feels bad, hope you have someone to talk about it with!


I ate 10 pizzas all by myself last night.

I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but either way it is EPIC.

Oh, at the time I thought I was equivalent to Zeus himself. Then the morning came and I felt like yung, powerless, baby Hercules. It was dreadful.

It is hard to recover from a binge like that, but do a few thousand situps and you'll be good as new!


VACATION DAYYYYYYYYYY YESSSSSS Can you tell I am ready for it or what?

I can tell! Are you doing anything special for it?


My wife has been out of the country for school for a while.  Dropping her off at the airport was really hard.

Yeah, we talk by text all the time and call every day.  It's still hard though, we haven't been apart longer than a couple days since we met.

Getting through it can only make your relationshipi stronger though


I got a hamburger earlier and they forgot to put cheese on it.

i would have been too.. i love my cheese burgers


One of my more embarrassing moments was when I was jumping over my backpack and my foot got caught in the handle. It's the only time I've ever actually fallen on my face.

Quite a few, but I knew most of them. I consider that better than falling in front of a bunch of strangers.

Probably but that is still the worst thing ever.  Are you finally able to laugh about it?


i am so mad at myself, i woke up late again today and missed a very important deadline, even though i set 4 alarms

Oh no! You must feel really bad. Are you able to fix the problem?

no, i can't i just need to fix myself as  i am the problem

Please try not to be so hard on yourself! We all make mistakes.


Did your car break down?  I always hate when unexpected things come up.

No worse, I walked in with two different shoes on


I had a deadline coming for my part on the project. Without my co-worker's help, i would not have finished it on time. Very thankful to him

Its always great when u have good co-workers you work with.  Im glad you got it done on time!  What kind of project is it may I ask?

Indeed. Without reliable co-workers it can be hard to get around and finish things on time

I agree, good co-workers are a must.   I have a good co-workers at my job that I can rely on as well.


the best friend I have had for he last 10 years will always be my best friend

That's so neat when friendships last so long.

I am sure you guys have a great bond and many fun memories.


"I found a stray dog last night and took him home with me.

What a nice thing to do.  Do you know what breed?


My social anxiety kicked up the other day while paying for groceries and I failed at doing basic math in my hand due to my nerves. I ended up giving the wrong amount of money.

It's okay. People are very understanding. Did you underpay? I'm sure it happens all the time!

Yup, I did! And I'm usually very good at math. When my anxiety acts up, it's like my brain just goes blank.

We all have those moments! Sometimes you just have to shake it out of your mind and take a deep breath.


I used to get nervous and anxious whenever someone would try to start a fight or argument with me...now I don't ever back down, and it helps I've been boxing and wrestling for 5 years

I am glad to hear that. It can take a lot for some people to be confident like that. I am glad you got over your issues with it.

Yes too many people talk a big game but can't back it up.  Sometimes I just want someone to blatantly talk crap so I don't have to do any talking hahaha


I was being robbed but a policeman stopped him.

Are you feeling okay from the experience?

Wow, you must have felt so stressed and scared about that robbery.


I had to leave my son for the first time to go to work and it was so hard.

Yeah, that's a hard age to separate from a child. They don't really understand. I have to leave my 16 year old sometimes and he jumps for joy.


Tomorow, I am starting a trip of six months to visit different country. I am so happy and I cannot sleep.

I recently got back from a trip abroad as well! Traveling is a blast. Where are you going?

I am visiting France, Egypt, Thailand, India. I having saving money for this for the last four years

Dang, now that sounds like a swell adventure. Which one are you most excited to visit?


I went to pick up my kid, and saw him helping a pregnant lady carry her stuff.

Well you seem to have done a great job parenting!

Well yea, that and I think he's a good kid on his own.

That is awesome, that is hard to come by


i feel i will do well on my test next week

Oh man. That was a difficult subject for me after Physics. Are you a science major?


I found out in the last year that both of my parents have dementia.

Thats so sad! Im really sorry. :( Have you been researching about it?

Yes, they've already gone pretty far. My dad thinks that I'm half my age. My mother only knows who I am about half the time.

I cant even begin to imagine how hard that must be. Stay strong!


My son cheated on an exam in high school last year. I was disappointed when he told me, and I gave him the choice to come clean. I told him I wouldn't turn him in, that only he could decide that. He decided to tell the teacher what he did

He did the right thing, how did the teacher react?

He got the punishment he deserved. Failed the exam, failed the class. Had to make it up over the summer. Learned his lesson I'm sure. But I'd rather he do that then cover his tracks and get rewarded for dishonesty.

Well, you're doing a good job as a parent. There's no justification for what he's done but he had the strength of character to confess to the teacher when confronted. He's still a good kid even if he does bad things occasionally. I hope you guys can put this past you quickly.


I mistakenly hugged another girl instead of my girlfriend.

You bet she was! I really thought it was her. Should've worn my glasses.

Dang. Well, I am sure you won't make that mistake in the future!


I think I was tired because I was up all night studying. I guess I was very clumsy that day.

I ended up dropping my lunch tray in front of a girl I was attracted to!

I remember when that happened on the Spiderman movie. Did she laugh at you?


I baked recently and I was happy to find that my cheesecake was fluffy like the Japanese kind

Yummy! That's great. It's always nice when you bake something and it turns out just right.

Yes! The top kind of fell a bit flatter after, but it looked kinda like a souffle

Well, that's okay. I'm sure it tasted fantastic.


I have an appointment next for the doctor and I might get some bad news. I am not sleeping well just thinking about it.

I hate to hear that! I hope everything goes well and you get better news than you are expecting.

Yes me too. I'm not feeling for well about it for now. I guess I just have to hope for the best.

I always try to do things to avoid thinking about things like that, maybe you could do the same!


I found an old stamp booklet my girlfriend and I filled out before we started dating.

That's very sweet! I bet it brought up a lot of feelings inside you.

Definitely. I felt so warm and fuzzy on the inside, and so did she when I sent her a snapchat of it.

You guys sound like you have a solid relationship. It's always great to find those little pieces from the early days.


I've been training hard for a marathon next week, and I am beating my record time!

That's amazing! How long have you been running?

For a few months now, but I've been training pretty hard just these past few months.


I watched a TV show last night where a guy ate a live squid

Oh my, that is so disgusting. Why would you watch something like that?

I normally like the show - its a travel thing so he eats cuisine in different countries.

Oh I see, I don't think I would be able to eat something like that!


a general worker, but i dont feel confident about it.


I entered a raffle at a local fair and actually won $1000.

Wow! What are you gonna do with the winnings?

Oh they are long gone,lol. Bills to pay and all.


My son took his first steps the other day, I was so excited.


My wife went on a trip for a week to see her family but I had to work so I had to stay home alone.

I wish I could have went on this one but I couldn't. It ended up bein a long week by myself.


I had a wisdom tooth bothering me and I knew what I had to do but didn't want to.

Yes, eventually but it took me quite a long time to get the nerve to even go to the dentist but I knew I had no choice.

Do you feel better now that you got it done?


"I was impressed with my friend when she finally left her ex

That's too bad. Hopefully he gets better and wakes up now that she left.


My mom does that for a living. I could probably be good at it.


My nephew just asked me for advice about his girlfriend. His friends were telling him that she was cheating on him.

Oh, that's terrible. What did you tell him?

I told him that he needed to be prepared if he finds out the truth and it's not what he want's to hear. He said that his friend said she was meeting some guy at the movies. I gave him a ride to the theater.

Well that's good advice. I hope it worked out for him!


Does she compensate you or anything like that?

i dont want compensation. I want her to babysit sometimes too lol


I need money for beer.  I feel so ashamed for my behavior.

That is terrible, I hope things get better for you both


I got startled while walking in my yard a few days ago.

Strange place for something to surprise you. What happened?

Eek, I'm with Indiana Jones on this one. I hate snakes. Hope you weren't bit!


I am mortified. I was going to the bank and tried to open the door. I kept pulling and pulling until I realized I was supposed to push. Unfortunately, a bunch of people saw me.

I had a similar experience the other day at the gas station. It's terrible when that stuff happens.

I wish nobody had seen my.  There was no good way to play it off.

Yeah but people are only amused because something they fear is happening to someone else. Those people don't matter and it's happened to everyone


My friend just bought my dream car. I have never been so envious in my life!

Buick Enclave. I wanted that SUV for years.

Dang that is a pretty slick ride...how close are you to buying one


I took a sip of milk at work and it was sour.

I am pretty sure.  I was really sickened by it.


Everyone wanted to go skydiving for my birthday.

Do you like skydiving?  I would be terrified!

I'm pretty sure that my greatest fear is my chute not releasing and plunging through the sky into the ground. Oh well you only live once.

haha, that's true but you can also live with your feet on the ground!


I got to see some family members that I haven't seen in a while, so I feel pretty good.


I really miss Hastings.  I spent so much time in that store when I first started college.  Both just hanging out and working.

I remember that store! I loved going shopping there, was it your first job?

It wasn't my first but it was my most favorite retail job I had

Yeah, I bet, it looked like a fun place to work.  Especially for a college job.


When I interviewed for the job I have now, they didn't give me a solid answer for like a month after the interview.

That's a long time to kind of hang in limbo. I am sorry you had to endure that for a month.

It worked out ok, but I had to keep bugging them to make sure they hadn't given up on me.

Well, at least that story had a happy ending. It could have went much worse.


Did you ever see the movie Home Alone?  The movie scared me as a child

I saw it when I was much older but my parents didn't let me watch it when I was young.  I bet.  That wouldn't be like real life for really being left home alone.

I was terrified to go into my basement after I saw that movie.  The furnace was so scary

I forgot about that part!  Yes!  Terrifying!  Hope you didn't have too many nightmares over it.


my coworker comes into work late everyday and it drives me crazy

she just keeps letting him get away with it

You could just start going in late everyday as well, to make a point to her.


I made a list of what to bring to the waterpark. Hopefully, I am ready and didn't forget anything.

Did you get sunscreen and a waterproof belly bag and a hat?

Yep! I forgot sunscreen last time and the sunburns were awful...not again this time!

Oh no! Yes it's the number one thing to not forget. I hope you all have fun!


My cat tore apart my favorite book this morning

Ah I've never read it before, I was hoping it would have been one I'm familiar with.


I was born in the late 80s but raised in the 90s. Seeing everyone dressed from the 90s brought back so many memories at the party.

I am sure it does. It is same for me. I was also raised in the 90s.

The 90's were a great time to be alive. So many memories, good music, good TV shows. The whole atmosphere of the era was awesome.

Yes it was. I miss that time in my life.


My car broke down this week and the mechanic said that there is nothing they can really do for it.  It is just done.  I am going to miss that car.

That really sucks. What kind of car was it?

It was an old Grand Prix.  I had it for years and it am very emotionally attached to it.

Ah, I used to have one of those. Those cars were built to last.


My kid trashed my entire bathroom this morning, was definitely not a good morning.

That sucks. Is your day going better now at least?

Somewhat. I have a little bit of a headache now, but we just had some good pizza so I'm happy.

Pizza makes everything better. Hope your night ends on a good note!


after quitting school for two years I am finally going back

Oh wow, good for you. That education will help you the rest of your life!

yeah I hope so it's exciting and scary at the same time

It can be frightening, especially with all those new classmates and teachers.


My friend recently told me that she couldn't have kids, I tried my hardest to be there for her

Wow that would be terrible news. I can't imaged shit is taking it well.

She is not at all, I have really been there for her, I have two boys of my own and could not imagine not being able to have kids of my own

Hopefully she has a supportive partner to help her as well. Glad you are there to help her.


I am getting started on my work week. I didn't go out much this past weekend and instead worked in my garden. It was very tranquil.

That sounds very relaxing, what do you grow?

I have tomatoes, peppers, corn, and summer squash coming up now. I just put down some winter squash so I'm good for when it's cold.

Wow that's quite the collection, you must be pretty experienced.


I wanted to hold out and see if I got a bonus.

I did, the family was able to take a vacation with it


Oh no, were you able to get into you work ?

I haven't needed to enter the building since I last had it. I'm very embarrassed to admit this mistake because I recently started.

I'm sure you will not be the first or the last to lose one of those.  My husband has lost his a few times as well.  Hopefully it's a simple process to get a new one made.


i was crushed when i wasnt able to go to vegas as planned

That's such a shame, I'm sorry to hear that.


Sometimes I'll have a song stuck in my head for hours

Story of my everyday life. I swear I ear a jingle for hours

Hahaha, me too, I'll hear something on the radio and then when I get home I'll be humming it for hours


I was feeling a little insecure so I decided to get a haircut and change my hair color a bit. I feel like a different person!

wow. That is amazing, I love to change. What color did you choose?

I decided to get dirty blonde highlights, just to add some dimension to my hair. I feel so beautiful now!

Nice. I would like to do the same, but it is very expensive where I live. I hope I can afford it one day.


I was thankful my brother helped me move. It was needed

That's good that your brother helped. My daughter I moved alone.


My friend and coworker hasnt been coming into work.  People are starting to talk but its hard to stick up for him when he only comes in once or twice a week.

A little bit of both.  He has bad anxiety but he also has told me he just doesnt like going into work.

I hope he can get the help he needs and maybe a job he enjoys more.


I'm upset I didn't get the promotion at work I wanted

That's terrible, my friend. Is there a chance to get it in the near future?

Yeah, maybe next year, I will need to prove my worth

I am sure you will. Just gotta keep kicking butt and taking names!


I was so thankful that my friend came to pick me up when my car broke down yesterday!

I absolutely hate car trouble! It is the worst!  Thankful for friends that can help out in times like that - did you get it fixed?

I did, thankfully! It was an easy repair! My friend was nice enough to take me out to lunch while we waited for the tow truck!

That's a good friend for sure - I'd keep their number on speed dial!


Someone gave my husband and I tickets to a concert and we can't wait to go, but my sister really loves the band we're seeing so I feel bad going too.

Yea that is kind of a weird situation. I am sure she would want you to have a good time though.

She did say she wanted us to have fun but she's been kind of quiet and evasive since then.  Maybe I'm reading into it.

I wouldnt let it ruin a good time. Just dont mention it anymore maybe. Im sure you feel a little guilty.


I sprain my ankle really often. I'm not great at basic walking

That's too bad. Have you seen a doctor about it?

No, I think I injured it when I was really young, so I must have weakened it

Ah, makes sense. Just drink milk everyday and it should be fine in a week.


Some people might be worried but I really wasn't.

Letting their kid get into an Uber or Lyft.

Lol i think thats the 21rst centurl. its funny back in the day they said don't get in strangers cars.

I know! But he's 15, and 6 feet tall, and there is so much transparency in the ridesharing system.


I stole my mother's card details to pay for a subscription.

I have too... to pay for food though. She told me that she would have paid if I asked but I am too proud.


My friends organized a surprise birthday party for me last year!

I really was, I had no idea! It was a lot of fun.

That's really cool, I'm glad you were surprised and had a blast!


Someone I know was nasty to me again after trying to build trust.

Oh man doesn't that just make you want to take a car and run right..... Just kidding.. but yeah that would make my blood boil

Oh man..you are speaking my language..I have wanted to run them over before lol- Some people are just SO horrible and say the most horrible things to hurt you.

Yes! I agree! I guess a lot of people say 3 strikes and your out, I'm done, but for me, I dont care who you are, I just dont give even second chances to most people!


The first time I asked a girl out, it was way back in middle school. My heart was beating out of my chest. She said no, but I learned that rejection isn't the end of the world.

her loss :) i'm glad you didn't get too stressed about therejection

Your emotions are so heightened at that age. It seemed like a big deal at the time, but it's funny to look back at it now.

it is. i remember all the drama from my teen years and how i was stressed and crying over really stupid stuff :)


I was really proud of my friend for doing a backflip

Backflips are scary. Neck injury is serious.

Yes, but luckily he completed it without hurting anything.


One of the times I remember feeling the most blissed out in life was right after the birth of my first child.

That is a very blessed day. It is something you will never forget.

Obviously there are the demands of a new child -- but that feeling of finally meeting someone you waited so long for, and the love surrounding the whole situation. Truly something to remember.

Yes, I couldn't agree more. It is remarkable how your feeling suddenly change.


I'm so excited to go out to dinner tonight! I bought a new dress and shoes and I can't wait to wear them.

That sounds like fun Who are you going with?

My family to celebrate my dad's birthday.


Hi friend, I recently went on a fishing trip.

Sounds like fun. What kind of fishing did you do? Fly fishing?

I do all kinds of fishing. I have never done the sea fishing though.

I quite fancy sea fishing - I like boats. Did you catch many fish on your trip?


Hi, I joined a firm 6 months ago and then I got a promotion for Junior Manager

Congratulations. That sounds like the fast track.

yes, They thought that I have some extraordinary talent and that is the reason I got that position

Cool. Maybe next year you will be a partner!

Maybe yes, Haha, Now I am looking for a Manager post and then become a senior manager


Oh no? I hope you're okay. Why is it that you feel guilty?


I had to drive 5 hours the other day to attend a funeral of a cousin of mine.  It was a sad day.  Got to see family though.

oh im sorry to here that. always good to see family

Yeah.  Seems like they're dropping like flies up there.  Won't have much family left in illinois if this keeps happening


i feel so proud of all that my husband and i have accomplished together

Aww thats great! Sounds like you two are a power couple!

he is the perfect balance to set off my strengths and weaknesses

Sounds like you two are the perfect match, cherish your marriage.


The quality of television the make these days compared to when I was growing up is very good

I think there are a lot more choices now than there was years ago


I am happy I have a home without a landlord and can do what I want, like rescue animals.

I'm glad you can do what you're passionate about.  What kinds of animals do you rescue?

Any kind that needs help and happens to fall on my doorstep. I even feed all the wild critters I can :)

That sounds so fun.  I hope I can do that some day, too!


My wife is having a hard time after finding out we can no longer have children. I am doing my best to support her and care for her but it is very hard when nothing seems to work.

Oh thats heartbreaking, do you guys already have children?

I do but she doesn't. Which makes it harder I think. All I can do is be there for her and hope time helps her heal.

I really hope she gets better too, it must be terrible to know you cant have any kids. You're a good man for helping her cope.


My girlfriend is moving in this weekend.  It will be great finally living together.

Oh that's wonderful! How long have you two been dating?

We have been dating almost a year.  I'm just excited to take this next step in the relationship.


There have been other times I felt like a poor parent and provider but that was one of the most memorably worst.

I drove with my son, who was small then, by a carnival in town and had to drive by it quickly because I didn't have the money to take him.


I remained with my girl after a long distance relationship

That's great. I never did a long distance one. But my brother did, and it was about 400 miles.

I feel his pain, it sucks at times.  It makes you cherish the moments you do have together though!

She was a keeper though, I'm sure it was worth it for him.


I have a stuffed animal that my old dog used to lay by/on as a pillow. My dog is dead but I still keep that stuffed animal to remind me of him

I am sorry your dog passed away, I totally understand wanting to keep a momento to remind you of him. Was he old when he passed?

He was about 12.  He was my first dog though! He was a sweetheart.  It is nice keeping something to remind me of him.

I'm glad you have something that helps keep his memory alive. :)


I once ate a piece of cake, it was old.  After the first bite I noticed spots of mold on it.

That sounds gross, did you get sick from it?

No I spit it out and listerined my mouth.

Smart move, at least you noticed it and it wasn't hidden under icing or anything


oh gosh, me too!! especially the clown from the movie IT

i slept with a light on for a couple of night lol


I recently had a giant exam that counted for half of my semester grade. I was really nervous over it.

I did! I studied for weeks and re-watched lectures. I felt really good when I walked into the classroom to take it.

wow, you must be so proud of yourself! Good job!


My mother has been diagnosed with diabetes, so I have been taking care of her diet. I am worried about her health

I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope she'll be doing good, she is very lucky to have someone taking care of her.

Yes she is, I really love her because she has brought e up all on her own

You must have a very good connection, that's beautiful.


i saw a guy smack his wife at the store, i was furious

I did, i usually mind my own but that isn't right too me

Sometimes you got to setp in and say something though when you know something is not right.


The cafe down the street used to be my favorite place to eat.

Used to be? What happened to it? Did it get closed down?

They are not completely shut down yet, but they have recently failed several health inspections.

That sounds alarming. You better be careful next time visiting the place. They maybe careless with their sanitary responsibilities


My cat vomited on the couch today which sucked

Eew! My neighbor's cat used to puke on my bed - coughing up a furball.

Not surprised - I've felt like that too. Did you manage to get it cleaned up ok?


I stubbed my toe on the side of my bed this morning, it's still hurting!

i hate when that happens! I stub my toes all the time i'm surprised i didn't break none of them yet

I think this one might be broken, I'm so annoyed.

good thing is they heal pretty fast and you don't need a cast or anything like that


The little kitten I rescued last Friday passed away.

That is very heartbreaking. How did you find the kitten?

She was under my house, crying.  Her mother had apparently abandoned her.  I called my friend who said she was dehydrated and we did what we could, but her motor functions quit and she passed away in her sleep.

Very sad to hear. You have a good heart and are very caring, that is something to atleast be proud of!


I recently went tubing on a river with my girlfriend and her friends from college.

I had a blast! It's supposedly a four hour float but we were out there for eight!

Amazing! did you go down rapids and do scary stuff?


Someone bumped into my car in an intersection and took off.

That's unfortunate. A hit and run is terrible

Yes it is and now I am left to deal with the cost.

I hope things look better. My friend dealt with a similar issue


I was so embarrassed at work last week.  My boss keeps bringing up a mistake I made months back.

That happens, you have to acknowledge mistakes to learn from them.

I did though, I've apologized repeatedly.  we've discussed it multiple times.  It's hard because she brings it up in front of others.

Oh well that seems improper, you should bring it up to her supervisor.


Found someone's scarf the other day and returned it to her. She completely bawled.

It was just a scarf. Didn't think it would have such value for her.

it could have been sentimental. like a gift from someone special


Today traffic was horrible and was so frustrating!

Yes! People were constantly cutting me off,not signalling and slamming on their brakes

People are so rude when they drive these days


I found a salad in the back of my refrigerator that I forgot about. It smelled awful when I opened the container it was in.

Gross. It would have gone straight into the trash here.

Yes, it went straight to the outside trash container. I was very surprised that my entire refrigerator didn't smell bad.

You can use baking soda to get the smell out of it.


I broke my coworker statue which was on her desk. I feel so bad about it.

Oh no, were you able to tell her you did it?

Yes but there is no way to replace that statue. It was a sentimental object for her

Ugh, I'm sure that was hard.  I'm sorry you had to go through that.


My lawn is getting overgrown and I don't know if I can afford a new mower.

Try your local pawn shop for a cheap one you don't want a messy looking yard.

The pawn shops here are OUTRAGEOUS..They cost just as much as a new one. I had one..that was stolen and my other one is VERY hard to start it's broken. Debating on getting a part or saving a little more for a new one

That is crazy maybe you should check offer up and that is crazy I dislike when people steal what is yours especially something you really need.


I was waiting to hear back about a potential job offer, I really wanted the job.

How long has it been since the interview?

That's the thing, my anxiety and excitement started the moment I first talked to the company, it was driving me crazy. But I ended up getting the job!


"I once had to go camping it didn't have the right equipment. So I went to the store and bought a new tent and sleeping bag.

That sounds like a fun trip. I love camping.

Yep as long as the weather is nice, it's fun. It's too hot right now though

I'm glad the weather seems to be holding up. I live in Florida and it is always hot.


I yelled at my toddler earlier because he wasn't listening but I think I went a little overboard with it.

I bet it can be easy for that to happen in the spur the moment

It can be but I wish I handled it differently.

You'll have a shot at it again, I'm sure!


I was mowing the lawn today and it started storming out of nowhere!

No. I was in the middle of the yard and it was sunny, next thing I know it's pouring down rain and I'm soaked.


I can't stand it when you talk to someone who doesn't know a lick of English. It makes everything so difficult...

Language barriers can be pretty problematic. Always keep an open ear, though.

Yes, I know. I try my best to understand what they are trying to say but it's annoying.

That's fair. The same would be true in any other nation.


I was cleaning out my grandfathers closet finding old moldy clothes.

I almost did, I had to leave the room for a second.


I have to be away and I am not able to play with my son

yes that can be a huge problem. I'm so sorry you're having to go through that.

Of course, I've felt sad for many reasons. Things that happen in the world make me sad.

Do you recall something that makes you really sad?

What makes me sad is hunger in the world. I cannot stand people suffering.


Yesterday, I caught my neighbor letting his dog poop on my lawn. I had a few choice words for him.

That's understandable.  How receptive was he to your complaint?

He wasn't to happy about me confronting him. I told him if it happens again it might get physical.

Oh, so it got pretty serious.  I guess he needs to learn to respect boundaries.


I saw a guy at the mall wearing a cut off tank top like you used to see in the 80's except he was 400 pounds.

Yeah, I looked at my wife and said that he must have lost a bet.


Last year a student I teach had a house fire.

Oh no!  How terrible.  I hope no one was hurt.

Luckily no one was hurt, but he lost his home and all of his belongings.  It was awful.

That is horrible.  I can't even imagine.


i was upset to see my dog gone when i returned home

I am sorry to hear that.  Have you tried looking for him.

if he wants to be with us he will find his way back home


I told my husband that I was going to see a friend when I didn't. I went to a party planner's place.

Yes! I feel bad for lying to him but I would only ever do it for his own good.  Its nagging at me already though.  I might up the date of the party so I don't have to lie too much!

I know that is hard, but it's alright if you do it for the right reasons.  You all will be able to laugh about it when it's all over.  Have fun!


I didnt know how I was going to pay my car insurance last month. If it got canceled, I wouldnt be able to drive to work!

Well.. LOL, In Mississippi, LOTS of people drive without auto insurance !

Oh no. If you get caught here, its a $500 fine!

I"m not one of them, thank heavens.  I"m sure you have a plan B for paying your auto insurance I  hope ?


There were 6 kittens in front of my doorstep this morning.

Yep. Let's see how it goes. If not, I could always find a good home for them.


I was flying back from Boston a couple weeks ago and there was some insane turbulence! I had never been so scared in my life!

Oh god, I hate flying. I always seem to get the plane that ends up having some issue.

Yeah, and it doesn't help that the news seems to be reporting on plane accidents all the time!

Yeah, I will drive almost anywhere rather than fly if I can.


Many of my friends go to medical school, they will be very successful in the future

Well, they deserve it. Medical school is not easy and they spent unimaginable effort and hard work to finish it

Yeah, they have great work ethic, I would not be able to do those 24 hour shifts

I truly respect and admire those people. They are the most beneficial members of the society


My sister recently paid off her house. I felt so envious of her as I've been trying to pay mine down.

That will be *such* a wonderful feeling when you do. I know it's hard when you see someone reach the "finish line" first -- are you able to turn that envy into inspiration?

I really am trying hard to- that's such a great suggestion. I know I'm making good progress to my goal, and I genuinely am pleased she did it!

See? That's terrific! And she's got to love that you can celebrate her victories too -- even more inspiration to support yours!


Met my friend way back from elementary school. She grew up to be a hottie!

that is interesting.  did you ever date?

No, I still thought girls had cooties back then.

oh yes that's true.  i thought you might have dated later in life.


Despite leaving to work with enough time, the train was out of service and delayed for about 30 minutes

Never found out. I ended up very late to work but at least my boss understoof


This guy at school keeps following me around. He followed me all day yesterday. I think he want's to be my friend.

It's getting to that point. I wish he would just stop. I have enough friends already.

Have you tried to talk to him at all and see what his deal is?


I never took a drink before and my friends were all over me to take a drink

Why did you feel guilty for taking a drink?

It was not my thing and the moment I took I did wrong. Later in the night I started feeling bad.

I can understand. I am not a big drinker myself, but I wouldn't feel guilty about it.  Not unless you promised someone you wouldn't drink.

Yeah I did to my mum and dad...When I started vomiting I mess my dress and mum knew.

Oh yea I can understand that then... Well I am sure you learned your lesson, right?


I sometimes wish I could go back to high school and be a kid again.

I certainly don't. I was miserable as a kid.

I am sorry to hear that. I think we all had struggles we went through as kids,

Yes, some worse than others. What do you miss the most?

Talent shows in high school and Pep rallies, getting out of class. Just the memories I made with friends I don't get to see now.

You can always organize a reunion for your former classmates.


Last week I had to babysit my new born nephew whilst my sister went on vacation!

That was very nice of you. I am sure that your sister appreciated that.

She did. She said I cared for him so well that he looked very healthy and happy when she returned.


It's tough seeing my dog get old and have trouble walking now.

Oh mine too, he is 12 and lost eye sight


My daughter is at her job interview. I'm sure she got it in the bag.


I dislike a careless driver and this morning I was furious with one by my daughters elementary school.

Oh I know how you feel! I wish there was some kind of hotline where you could report a license plate to law enforcement so they would get in trouble for being stupid with kids around

I wish to and the school zone light was flashing but they was driving past the 15 mph minimum a child could have got hurt.

Thats awful! People should be arrested for that


One night during college I got a phone call in the middle of the night that one of my best friends had been killed in a car wreck.

That sounds terrible! you must have been devastated!

Absolutely. It was really the first time I had lost someone close to me, family or friend.

It was a terrible way to comes to term with dead, I'm so sorry you have to go through that.  I hope time have healed you.


I got on social media yesterday and saw that my friends went to a party, but they didn't invite me.

ohh that's rough...did you talk to them about it

No, sometimes I feel like they just don't understand me.

do they give you any kind of value...or do they just ignore you / put you down 90% of the time?


I was at this guy's place and even though I didn't like him, I felt bad for stealing from him.

Just a coin, but it still made me feel really bad.


Oh wow! That is great. Did she have a good day?

She did, and I know we aren't supposed to cry when they walk down that hall toward the classroom all by themselves, but I could not help it.

I don't blame you. It's so sad to know that you have to leave them there.


An eagle landed on my flag pole in my front yard last week!

That is awe inspiring, very patriotic.  Did you get pictures?

I did. Not the best pictures because I was using my phone but still, it was really surprising.

I'm sure, that isn't something you see every day, or would even expect to see ever.  I'm glad you got it documented.


Yesterday I got into a scrap with a homeless man over a half eaten sandwich.

No, but I was terribly hungry, since I didn't go grocery shopping. I felt so bad.

Lol, I bet that a good looking sandwich then.


Do you ever feel like everyone has nicer things than you do?

Yea, but I try not to compare. It'll just make me feel bad. What about you?

MY car is trash and it seems like someone around here get a new car every month.

Wow. How does one get a new car every month. Must be loaded.


I tutored my little cousin in math. He made an A on his test. He did so much better than before.

Yea I think He will continue to improve. It feels great knowing he can achieve if he tries.


My co-worker bought me lunch today out of the blue.

Yes, it was great! I was so shocked and yet so happy.


Just finished my Master's degree now time to take on a PhD

Congratulations!  What are you getting your PhD in?

Oh geeze, I didn't know I was talking to a genius.  How long is the program?


I look at my facebook memories every day

I dont even remember when I joined. The memories are so cute though. I can see my kids gtoeing up all over again

Oh that's nice, yeah it's a good feature of Facebook


I drank and got drunk out of my mind yesterday despite promising sobriety to my wife.

Oh no, that's no good. Did she find out?

Yes and I feel so ashamed right now. I can't even look her in the eyes anymore because of shame.

Just have a talk with her and apologize. I'm sure she'll understand. Addiction is a life long battle. It's never too late to jump back on the wagon.


Last semester was probably the largest challenge of my life. I go to school for electrical engineering, and I took 6 courses.

that is a lot.. most i ever took at one time was 5 classes and i cried at least twice that semester.

Oh my gosh then you know! I have to say though, it all came out in the wash - 4 As and 2 Bs!

Damn that is impressive congrats.. I took 1 class last semester and got an A lol


I thought I did poorly on a job interview. They called me today with an offer! It feels like it came out of nowhere since I wasnt expecting to hear back from them.

I would be so excited! I'm so proud of you!

Thanks. Im blown away. I never expected to hear from them again.

Hopefully you have some wine to celebrate with!


The store was all sold out of the new book I wanted.

Oh no! You should have preordered it online!

I know! I normally do, but I thought it would be okay. Next time I will though.


My wife and I took a two week vacation last year, and a friend of mine watched the house for us while we were away.

That sounds awesome!  Did everything go well?

It did for the most part. The vacation itself was great, and my friend took good care of the house. The only thing that happened was on of the faucet handles on the bathroom sink broke while we were gone, but it wasn't my buddy's fault, it had needed replacing for awhile.

That's not too bad, I'm glad you had a good vacay and your friend is trustworthy!


I saw someone play an entire song by themself at a talent show once.

They were singing and playing the drums and guitar at the same time.


my friend won the lottery whcih is awesome


My friend had to miss a concert, because I was sick.

Oh wow I'm sorry, but your health is more important!

Thanks a lot! She didn't have to miss it actually but didn't want to go without me.


Just moved and there is a pier near where I live

Oh, that's kind of nice. It's nice to have those natural landmarks near where you live, so you can visit them and get a sense of relaxation and peace. I've lived near the ocean all my life, and while I do take it for granted from time to time, I try to remember how useful and beautiful it is.

Yea. I'm so used to living in the center of the city. Nothing but cars and buildings. I already feel so relaxed here.

Sometimes it means increased work commute, or higher costs of living. But sometimes that can be worth it in terms of the health benefits and lifestyle improvements that come along with it. It's all a balance. I'm glad you seem to have found yours!


I believe the new super smash bros will be very good, the new video today makes it look amazing

The new one looks fantastic, you should check it out!

I will. I should be playing the COD beta but I have other things to do


I lost my mother to breast cancer several years ago and I am still grieving the loss.

I am so very sorry. Have you had time to talk about it

yes, I talk about it but it really does not help much. I pray a lot and that gives me some comfort

that's good prayer can comfort, maybe you should talk to your pastor


Everyone is my neighborhood has a nicer car than me.

Very much so. It's petty but I can't afford a new car. I feel out of pplace lol

Maybe they don't even have enough for the cars themselves.


I found my old diary in the basement. It brought lot of memories

How nostalgic! Was there anything in there that surprised you?

my first love letter which i received. I have read that 5 times again lol


I am upset that I have been used for so long.

By someone I cared about. After you get out of a situation you realize how bad it was.

i can see that.. your vision is clouded sometimes.


We packed up everything in the car to go visit my family.

We went on vacation to see my family in another state. I was very happy to be going.


today is a weird day, i'm just feeling so emotional

I'm sorry to hear that. Do you mind if I ask what happened today to make it so weird?

it's not a bad feeling so dont be sorry, it happens every now and then, just makes me realise how grateful i am to be alive

Oh, I see. I think I kind of understand. It at least sounds like you're a really self-aware person, and appreciative of the small things, and that you have decent perspective on things. The emotions might be difficult to deal with, but at least there are some positives there for you to take stock of


lol a little bit.  I paid for my tab and forgot to tip the waitress :(


I am having a day let me tell you.. not in a good way either.

Oh no, please tell me what's going on! Can I help?

Not really but maybe just by listening to be complain! LOL - i lost my wallet and my keys in the store today

That's the worst, I'm sure it was an annoyance!


It was rough comforting my friend when she left her boyfriend.

Oh, that would be tough! Were they together for a long time?

They were for 5 years, I brought her food to calm her down,

That was really nice of you. Your friend is lucky to have you!


I saw my boyfriend speaking to his ex girlfriend at the store. The way she looked at him made me so mad.

Oh man, I would have been really frustrated. Does she know he is dating you now?

Of course, our town is so small. However, I could be letting my imagination get in the way. Gosh, her smirk is what made it worse.

It's never fun to see your significant other around someone they used to date. At least he is with you now and I'm sure you have nothing to worry about!


Mentioned my company on social media the other day. Now I'm getting told I have to meet with management after the weekend for something they can't talk about until then. I'm not sure how they could know about what I said, but I have no idea what else it could be, and I'm nervous.

try not to stress out about it all weekend. if you didn't do anything wrong nothing bad will happen.

Yeah, I tell myself I shouldn't, but I know I will. Like, there's no way they could tie my social media to me. But I never get called in to meet with these people. And it happens right after I made a negative comment about the company online? Can't just be a coincidence.

maybe the suspect something and want to talk to you about it. or maybe it's nothing. try not to let it drive you crazy. i know it's easier said than done.


On the road that's the only access to our neighborhood there was a dead animal that the city was notified of.

A small doe. The worst part about this was that they decided they had better things to do and didn't get around to cleaning it up for nearly 4 weeks it seemed!

Oh wow, you think they would get to cleaning up an animal that big as soon as possible. Glad it's gone now though!


I've been trying lately to potty train my youngest daughter.

It's been a challenge.  Yesterday she got on the toilet herself though.  She said she didn't want to be a baby anymore.

Thats one way to get them. being a "big girl" is such an accomplishment


I passed my final! I'm glad my hard work paid off.

Congratulations! Was it your last final?

One of my last ones... many sleepless nights paid off


My daughter sang in a chorus concert. She did so well. She has a beautiful voice.

She does! She is only twelve, but she really sings nicely. She loves to sing.


My friend got a huge scholarship last year

That is wonderful!  They must be so happy and relieved also to not have to pay!

Oh good. I was going to ask how you felt about it.  Are you in college?


I was out in a fishing boat last weekend, and I was afraid we would see some sharks. I am really afraid of them.

Yeah, I was sweating and shaking the whole time. I seen a show on the Discovery Channel about sharks once, and I've never been the same since.


My friend lost her job but won $5,000 from a scratch-off ticket.

Sometimes those things happen just when we need them. It would be nice if they happened for extra money too! lol


My stepdad passed away and my mother moved in with my sister.

Aww I'm sorry for your loss. How is your family holding up?

Pretty well, I didn't know him very well.  But my sister took the insurance money and bought a huge house - way bigger than they needed for my mom to move it.  I feel she took advantage of my mother.

Yeah it sounds like she did take advantage. That's a cruel thing to do.


I was driving home from work last night and some guy on his phone started coming into my lane.  I honked and he turned and flipped me off!  The nerve on that guy!

I hate rude drivers like that. I swear they should not be able to drive.

Part of me wanted to follow him and give him a piece of my mind, but thankfully cooler heads prevailed.

Yeah, that would not have ended well. I usually take a picture of their license plate and publicly shame them on social media haha.


I once had people pass right by a little chihuahua on a hot day when they needed help

Awwwww, poor little doggie. Did you end up helping the poor thing?

Yes! He was in front of a grocery store..so hot! and so many passed by and he was asking for help. He got a great home!

That's good! Small dogs like that make excellent companions. Do you plan on keeping him?


i am so excited i will be a masters student starting next month

Oh wow thats a big accomplishment, congrats.

I feel the same, college is stressful but its a nice environment.


Do you ever see someone and feel like you are transported back in time to a specific place and moment?

Oh yes! Deja Vu has happened to me quite a bit! It's eerie and cool huh?

its crazy! I ran into my ex at the grocery store.  She has kids now, so that was weird.  We talked about some of our old memories.  It was fun thinking about the past and imagining what could have been.

It's always intense running into ex's. I'm glad your guys conversation went well and you guys could catch up.


I am so ready for my first day at my new job. I went out and bought all new outfits.

Thats the spirit. It is always exciting to start something new.


Sorry to hear that. Maybe your luck will turn around soon!

my friend at work won a free trip that we were both going for.  i really wanted to win

I hope you weren't too jealous of him! I hope you win next time.


i found a pyrex bowl at the store like one my mom used to have

Oh wow!! I love pyrex stuff. I bet it brought back many memories.

it did. i remember watching the cheese bubble up on the top when she made tuna casserole thinking how much longer is this going to take.

Its funny how items can bring back such good memories.


There's this Chinese takeout place I used to go by during college often.

It was great. I always ordered their cheapest item, but they'd always throw extra portions in.

That's awesome!  Nothing better than free food!!


Yesterday was my first time at a karaoke bar. I started to get all tense when my friends kept telling my I should go on stage to perform.

I feel you! I don't like to perform in front of people either. Did you decline?

No, I ended up going through with it. I was worried that they would boo me at first because my singing is horrible, but I guess everyone was too drunk to care.

Oh you can be as bad as you want there, it just matters if you're having fun :)


Me and this guy that I met in class always had each others backs.

It really was. We cheated and helped each other all the time.


I spent 20 dollars on a piece of cheese cake.

Oh my, I hope it was delicious, that is a lot of money

I thought it would blow my mind but it was dry and really disappointing. Talk about a let down.

goodness, i would be so upset, that is a terrible experience!


Last week I had a wardrobe malfunction at work.

My dress got shut in my car door and then it ripped as I tried walking away.


My dog pooped on the rug today. I was livid!

That's horrible. Were you able to get it up before it stained?

I was, thankfully! I couldn't be mad at her for too long either. She is just a young pup after all.

Yeah, one look at a cute face like that and it's hard to be mad.


I'm so angry! I lent my friend my expensive, designer dress and not only did she stain it, it's torn!!

I wanted to!! I'm never lending her anything ever again!


my neighbor dog is always barking, I can't stand it

Oh man, I can't stand barking dogs. I wish owners would do something to shut them up.

i know the worst part is my bedroom is near the fence and the dog barks all night

That can make it so hard to sleep at night.


So, I got home from work yesterday and I found out that my girlfriend threw me a surprise birthday party!

I turned 28! I was so excited for the party, even though I think I'm too old for them.

You're never too old to have fun! Don't ever think that. Always stay a kid at heart


On Black Friday, I was in line at a store and it was taking forever. I had to use the restroom so bad.

Oh yeah those lines can be super long. What did you do?

The person behind me offered to hold my place and watch my stuff, but they didn't.

Oh no that is terrible. What happened to all your things?


School starts a week from tomorrow and I am getting fairly nervous for it!

how come? it will probably be an exciting adventure for you to start

Oh yes, I really like school and my classmates and stuff! I guess just because summer is coming to an end?

the summer is horrid. heat, sweat, mosquitos, rain, and crowds everywhere


I let my cousin borrow my car. I regret doing that.


I'm going on a long train ride tomorrow! From South Carolina to New York! I'm just going to see an old college friend for a couple of days, but I'm just as pumped about the train ride, because I've never been on one before! They seem so peaceful and charming.

That seems like a short train ride compared to say, going across country or something! Are you going to be sleeping on it overnight?

Yeah, I am. I didn't even know they did across-the-country train rides... Those would be cool. Or maybe they would get boring because you'd start to feel cramped? Who knows. It just always seems like when you hear about trains in movies and TV, they have this romantic quality about them. Maybe it's because they feel like they're from a different era

They really do feel that way! There's actually a train in Africa, I want to say Kenya? Where it is like stepping back in time and you go on a week long journey on the train, you have to dress fancy and it seems like a dream come true.


I let my wife deal with all the finances.  I rely on her to do the right thing with it.  I am cool with that.

that is so much trust! i hope she doesn't let you down!

If she does, it's no big deal.  We all die in the end.

that went really dark quickly. making a mistake is not the same thing as dying.


That sucks. I hate when I am running late I always feel behind


i love playing video games, i wish i could make money doing it

madden, i have gotten really good at it over the years


For my birthday last year, a coworker gave me cheese. It sounds ridiculous but I was touched by her thoughtfulness. I love cheese!

I love cheese too! What kind of cheese was it?

Smoked gouda, one of my favorites! I ate it all in a day haha

Gouda is great! Do you like prosciutto too?


I was so afraid when my daughter was born. She came out with the cord around her neck.

Yes luckily, the nurse scared me too because she kept saying shes not crying and she should be.

I would have been SO scared! I'm glad it all turned out fine though!


I asked my son to clean the kitchen. He left dirty dishes in the sink and garbage on the counter.

Oh thats not good..sometimes teenagers can be alittle messy

He's 10 but definitely messy. We are working on it though.

Well I am sure he will get better with age


I was jogging a couple days ago and suddenly a bear came out of the woods!

Yeah, I just stopped in shock, but it crossed the path and kept going without missing a beat.

Just don't get too close! You never know what can trigger them


When my wife left me, i felt worthless and like giving up on life to be honest, I've since started making some positive changes and and more optimistic

I can't even imagine how devastating that would be. I think you must be really strong to be able to move forward.

Well, Like the saying goes, get busy living or get busy dying. I'm not sure if i'll ever find someone i truly love but life goes on!

You might, but I believe you can have a full life as a single person, too.


I don't know what I would do without my parents.

Me either,  they have done so much for me in my life.

They live so close to me and they are always helping me out.

wow, thats so nice.  there are alot of people in life who have no one.


i went to a new restaurant that has been getting bad reviews, it was actually really good.

it was a new mexican restaurant. i think the reviews were inaccurate

I do love a good burrito, I should go check it out some time.


I am really praying that I get a promotion at work! I need the extra money and my boss knows I want it badly!

I hope you get it too!  Best of luck!  We all could use extra money in the pocket!

Yeah, it is really important to me.  I am crossing my fingers!


My friend has been diagnosed with cancer recently but I have been helping her out by paying her visits everyday

I'm so sorry to hear that. She is lucky to have you checking on her, you sound like a good friend.


I was so lucky I met them together having dinner in a restaurant in town


My brother moved to California a few days ago. It was stressful for him, but he's always been good at thinking things through

I am sure the stress will be worth it in the end.  Just keep encouraging him!

I will! I bet he will make lots of friends too. He's very outgoing and approachable

Those are good traits to have.  Good for him!


My grandma is 93 and needs a lot of assistance with everyday tasks. I try to look after her as best as I can.

I understand, my parents are 85 and 88, both with dementia.

Yeah, it is hard, but worth it to make things easier for them.

I'm glad it's that way for you. My parents destroyed my life intentionally years ago.


My sister is having another baby! I can't wait to meet her! This will be her fourth child.

Oh wow! Congrats!! How exciting!! How far along is she?

Only one more month to go. She is about the explode though! Glad it is her and not me, lol.

LOL Right!!! It's way too hot to be pregnant right now!

Totally agree! But I will be there to fan my sister for her at least. Haha

You are so awesome!!! I wish I had  sister like you when I was pregnant.


I am fortunate that I had good parents growing up.

Yes, they both were educated and taught me well.


I forgot to put on Off! spray the other day before I went out and a bunch of bugs bit me up.

Yes, I try not to scratch a lot and I put rubbing alcohol on the bumps.

That's good.  I hope it gets better soon :(


I cant wait to go shopping. I really need a new purse.

Wherever they are the cheapest, but still of nice quality! I like a good deal.

You sound like a smart and informed shopper.

You can use the left over money on so many other things!


I get so mad when the local kids throw eggs at the front doors of houses in my neighborhood. It is so infuriating!

Oh man I'd be mad too...you should wait outside with a paintball gun

Yeah! I wish I had the time for it! I am going to buy one of the web cams and catch them in the act. I am going to teach them a lesson! But I love the paintball idea! That is great!


I am in awe when people turn their live's around for the better

Me too! I helped a guy with his immigration case and saved him from being deported. He ended up becoming a pastor.

He deserved it. He was fighting for his life.


I have an interview with my boss tomorrow about my performance. I've compiled all of my work from the past month as well as great reviews from our clients!

That's great. Maybe a promotion or a raise in on the horizon?

I'm hoping for both! but I'll take just the raise!!


every july i feel the same way, down in the dumps because its the month my father passed away.

Oh man, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure as time goes on it will become less and less.

Thats what they say but it just feels the opposite as you accomplish things in life and just really want to share it with your parents! Thanks tho you are kind


I'm still kinda bummed about this, but like a month or more back I was really into this girl from Tinder and we started dating too. Unfortunately, after like 4 or 5 days, she said she wanted to stop dating and hasn't spoken to me since.

Oh no, that really sucks. That's awful that she wanted to end things, especially since you were really into her. I am sorry.

It's fine, I'm feeling a lot better about it. The thing that irks me is that she went from super happy about dating to literally ending it and ghosting me in so little time. Makes me think it was all fake, but I can't think why she would do it.

That's really odd, and unfortunate. Thankfully there are many more girls that would match you better :) Don't lose hope!


I finally have a job and paid off the last dollar on my student loans today!

That is awesome! I cannot wait until my student loans are paid off!

It is! Its best feeling and is a weight off my shoulders! I am finally content with my finances.


I was beaten by my ex, when I was pregnant of his child.

yes I did report him, he went to jail and we broke up


Isaw the most amazing sports play yesterday! I was shocked.

A wide reciever in a football game made a one handed catch.

That is awesome, I remember Odell Beckham doing that a few years ago.


I am so happy today because my peacocks just had 3 babies! They are so cute!

that's the coolest thing ever I didn't know you could have them as pets

Oh yes! I have 3 adult females and one male. I have had them for 5 years. They have names and I can call them and they come running to me. They are cool pets.


Most people are dreading it. How come you're looking forward to it?


I am very much looking forward to going to Busch Gardens next week with my family!

Ive been to Busch Gardens before.  They have some really cool Roller coasters.  I hope you have a great time.

I do too. Did you go to the one in Williamsburg or in Tampa?

Ive been to the one in Tampa.  They have this new coaster that rotates forward and backward and spins around. It was equal parts fun and scary.


got pulled over last night for going 25mph over the speed limit.

That is a bummer.  On the bright side you probably won't do that again!

that's for sure was so nervous i would lose my license.  But he lowered it down to 5 mph now all i have to do is pay a fine.

That is awesome!  It is nice to know people can be fair!


On my way home today there was someone in the fast lane going so slow in front of me.

Ugh, that's so annoying.  How long did you have to follow behind them?

about 5 miles. there was too much trafic in the slow lane, couldn't get over

I hope you weren't late for anything important!


I took up running and I started seeing a huge improvement in my cardiovascular endurance.

Unimaginably hard. But once I got into it I couldn't stop. I'm feeling pretty certain that I'll hit my 5km goal in no time.

Wish i could run close to 5km, i'd struggle with 100 meters.


I had a chance to judge foods in a food festival.

One dish was mind blowing. It tastes delicious.


I'm happy with where i am with life right now. Work is great, family is good and business is booming.

I am very glad to hear that. Do you have any children?

I have no kids, but would love to have some at some point!


I am having my first baby; a boy. I hear all these different labor stories that aren't exactly reassuring!

Congratulations! If it helps at all, my wife and I have two young boys and both of her deliveries with very smooth! She said it wasn't as bad as she expected.

Aw, that's so neat. I would love two boys!  I am having a boy!  Oh good, that's another good story for me to hold onto.  I'm not expecting it to be amazing or anything but wow, so many people say they almost died and things.

I think those types of situations are rather rare! The medical field has come a very long way. I'm sure you'll be fine and it'll all be worth it in the end.


I really feel good when my friends keep my secrets. (Or at least I think they do!)

Not much, I just value my privacy. Do you have secrets that you tell your friends?

Of course, I only tell them the best ones though!


yes i was walaking alone in a wooded area

I don't blame you, I would be scared too.  It seems like you got home alright though, so that is good.


As i get older I've fully accepted who I am. I'm not here to impress. It makes life easier when you think like this.

33 so not super old or super young. Just happy with who I am.


my husband and i are trying to have a baby

Aww! I bet that is so exciting! Do you want a girl or boy?

i would be fine either way as long we have a healthy baby that's all that matters to me.

I hope it goes well. Children are great.


I fell down in a mud puddle today while walking to lunch. I was covered in mud for the rest of the work day.

Oh no! That is awful, that can mess with your mood.

No kidding! It was hard to keep a good attitude for the rest of the day.


My best friend has alwas been there for me.

That's cool.  It's good to have loyal friends

Our friends have even grown up together and we met at a job that we both hated. She is like my sister.

What are some personality traits you both have in common


I'm having heart palpitations all the time and they are very concerning to me.

Uh oh!   You should go see a doctor to get that checked out!

I got checked out by one that had no idea what it was so I need to find a good cardiologist.

Yeah that's what I would do!  Good luck, friend!


i went into that interviewing knowing the answer to every question they threw at me!

That's great!  I love it when something like that is completely under control.

Awesome!  I hope you got/get the job, and it goes well!


I'm picking up my new puppy on Saturday!

A little yellow lab!  I think I'm looking forward to it more than my kids are.

i bet. dogs are amazing. we have a big ole mutt who is 75 lbs of lap dog love


My daughter took it upon herself to make extra money mowing yards.

She is growing up and showing so much initiative.

She's showing she's responsible. I think she'll be just fine growing up.


I miss living at home with my parents. They took care of everything. No bills or stress back then.

I'm right there with you. Those were much simpler times

Yeah, I didn't know what stress was back then. Wish I could go back in time.

Yeah I don't know how our parents did it


On my 29th birthday my wife invited all my friends without me knowing

a surprise party that is awesome - did you have fun ?


im a little on the fence if i should ask for time off this week

If you need to take time off, then I'm sure your company will understand.

yea but i should probably save it for later down the road in case one of my kids get sick


I feel so bad for my husband.  He is getting a lung transplant.

oof, that is a long healing process after the surgery.

I know.. we have to move to where the hospital is for three months while he recovers...

That is tough i bet. I hope he heals well.


when i was walking home last night i was robbed . was terrrible

i just froze and did what they wanted. they pullled a gun and a knife. i gave them my money in my pocket and they left. it was 12 dollars

oh god! just hand them what they want, it's not worth your life


The other day I got on a roller coaster for the first time, and I almost pooped my pants because we were so high up.

Oh wow, now that's funny! I've only been on one roller coaster and it was rather small, but I loved it!

This roller coaster was one of the biggest in the world and i'm not good with heights.

Oh wow! I'd love to go on a much larger coaster than the one I road. But it might be scarier than I imagine.


I took out the trash today and the bag burst all over me. I knew I shouldn't have kept 50 pounds of ramen sitting in the fridge for 2 months.

I am a poor college student and needed to eat the leftovers. Thought it would stay good for all eternity. Guess it doesn't when it's cooked.

How are you  doing in college? because that is ridiculous lol


My husband and I recently decided we are going to get another puppy! He has to go pick him up and the drive is 15 hours!

That must be one special puppy for that drive! How adorable... are you going with him to pick it up?

I will have to stay home because we have two kids, but our neighbor actually offered to make the drive with him!

What a nice neighbor you have, awh well happy and congrats to you and the fam.


The high school I went to is being torn down for a condo

It is extremely, and I feel bad for the kids.

Where will the current students of that school go?


I let Daisy my cat out the other evening and she didn't come back home.

two days. I live by a road , so I'm afraid she'll go in that direction.

I hope not. My friends cat left for two weeks once. she came back hungry, but she was fine.

I've seen a lot of animals killed on the highways. Its so sad.


Just came home from the buffet. Oh man, I'm stuffed

It's Chinese and they have a bit of American food, too.


I'm waiting to hear back from my doctor about my test results.

oh that sounds super scary , i hope everything comes back ok

Thank you. I'm scared, but I'm also ready for what could happen.

dang you sound really calm about it , i have super high anxiety and would be in a state of panice the entire time


So my father has done some dumb things. He missed a soccer game once and i was just not happy with him.

Not anymore, I play Hockey more which he would show up to those games.

Oh cool.  Maybe he was more of a hockey fan


I wanted to show my brother I cared about him. So I bought him a new jacket

He did very much, He will wear it here soon when it gets colder


I walked around the mall for 2 hours with my fly down.

Haha.. I'm sorry, that made me laugh a little bit. I do that sometimes too, and have no idea how I can forget so many times. I think at least if it happens, almost no one can really tell or notice, if that helps.

Unfortunately I had my shirt tucked in and I was wearing skinny jeans so everyone noticed they just didn't tell me.  I was wearing my superman undies too so it was extra noticeable...humiliating.

Well, you could have been going commando, too. And shame on them for not letting you know. Let's focus on the positives--you can pull off skinny jeans, and you're interesting enough to want to wear Superman underwear. Keep it up


I came home today after a long day at work in a pretty foul mood.

Well, work can be stressful for many and do that. Often, we can bring it home with us.

I was passed over again for a promotion. They gave it to someone who has been there less than a year.

That would be very disappointing and frustrating I'm sure. No doubt you wonder why they would do such a thing!


My husband has a job interview coming up and we re really hoping he'd get the job.

What kind of job is it?   I will keep my fingers crossed he gets it!

It's for health care company. It'll be a better job for him. Thank you.

THats awesome, does it pay better than the one he has?  A pay increase is certainly helpful.


So I just got a check from a family member who just passed. For 100,000 dollars

Wow, that is a big inheritance. What do you plan to do with it?

Payoff my credit cards, invest some of it. I don't know how taxes work on this stuff so I don't want to spend too much

Yeah, it's better to make some good choices with that amount of money.


I am so elated!  I am going on a vacation tomorrow!

I am going to North Korea.. I can't wait!

Wow, that should be interesting, have fun!


I get sentimental around Christmas. Christmases with my parents were the best but now they're gone.

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that, how long have they been gone.

I lost my dad a couple of years ago and my mother followed a year later. It is sometimes hard to get through Christmas without nostalgia.

Oh wow....I hope you can get through it.


I'm very proud of my daughters grades on her yearly exams.

That's great! I assume she did well then?

That's amazing. I can see why you are proud!


Oh my gosh! I was outside the other day, and what did my eyes see? A rattlesnake! Ack! I was never so terrified in my life!

Those are nothing to mess around with. They can be deadly.

Yes they can. Thank goodness my husband was home and killed that sucker!

No kidding. I would hate to have to come face to face with one.


I was happy when my friend invited me over tonight. It had been awhile

It's always nice to visit with friends you haven't seen in a while.


i was upset when i saw someone had dented my door


Me and my friends ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere one time. It was scary.

Oh my, how did you manage to get out of that situation? Did you hitch a ride?

We walked to a gas station that was luckily pretty close by.

Phew! Good have ended a lot worse if that gas station wasn't there.


I went into that interviewing knowing i could answer any question they threw at me

Good. I hope you do. When will you find out?


I got really annoyed at my husband the other day when he left his dirty clothes hanging around.

Ugh! Why can't people pick up after themselves! I'd be frustrated too.

I hate mess and clutter. It makes me anxious.

I feel you on that! I need to have a clean space!


I am a little scared to move to a new neighborhood

I don't know any one. I am worried we won't fit in. But the rent was affordable and we needed more space.

Well as long as they're good people than it shouldn't be that bad.


His teacher called me today. Never have I been so upset with him...I thought he was better than this.


I am trying to quit drinking soda and I have prayed to God and asked Him to help me. The problem is I am addicted to soda and Its very hard to quit. When I do manage to skip a day, the lack of caffeine causes horrible headaches.

I know exactly how you feel. I have a crazy addiction to soda.  I don't think I can quit!

It just makes me feel bad, that no matter how many times I try, I still give in to the temptation.

Maybe try to slowly quit? Like just drink one less a day


Yesterday I came across a huge snake in my back yard!

I think it was. I was too freaked out. Just ran inside.

Hmm, what state do you live in? Although I am in Michigan and we have poisonous ones here too. I didn't even realize in MID michigan we did until I almost stepped on one..I had a panic attack too lol

I'm in Tennessee. Yeah, I would have a panic attack as well! That's a scary situation!

Oh man..TN has water mocassins I think- Be careful!


My best friend's dog died and she has been really upset.

I totally feel for her. I have lost many the past year. It's hard

I brought over some pizza and movies to cheer her up.

That was nice of you. Having company helps through grief.


Wow! That is pretty amazing IMO..unless she isn't good with kids..My first almost killed me..and I am terrified to do it again..

I know she's always wanted a big family, but I didn't know she meant 6 kids big.

Aw well, as long as she is a good mom, more power too her :) Children are great fun.


I work in tech support.  Every once in a while a customer will want our software to do something it either cant or is not built for.

I've had similar experiences.  What do you end up doing?

I write up feedback for development. It just gets frustrating when they start to demand that I fix it.  I might be good at my job but not good enough to do a code change on the fly.

Have you ever had a positive experience from that cycle?


I bought a used car a couple months ago and I have to say it's holding up really well for a 6 year old car. It's like new.

I am, You never know what shape a used car really is until you have it for a while.

true that, you cant be too sure until you use it


i admired the way my nieghbors helped each other out after a storm

Storms are the worst and destroy so much.

they are horrible, luckily this one wasnt deadly or too destructive

My family went through a big storm a few years ago.


Did you get a chance to talk to them yet, and introduce yourself?

Its been a week and every day I am picking up their trash of the stairs

Have you considered getting back at them by pranking them?


my friend bought a big house and i'm happy for her but at the same time i'm a little bit jealous

Big houses are a pain in the neck to keep clean.

true, but there is so much space for her kid to run and play at and I live in a tiny apartment with my son


I wish my sister felt that way about mine! lol. What kind of pets does she have?

They are very curious creatures. Very people friendly. What is their name?


I had the scariest experience the other night.

I woke up to growls and scratches coming from under my bed.

Oh no. I hope it wasn't something dangerous.


I ordered pizza and it should be here any moment. I keep looking out the window to check, and I can feel my brain slowly turning into a caveman brain I'm so hungry.

Yum that sounds delicious. You're making me hungry.

Aha, I'm sorry! If it makes you any less hungry it's a vegetarian pizza because the wife doesn't eat meat.

You should just get a half vegetarian. No need to punish your self like that.


i was looking towards friday all week , im finally off and i want to get so much done

i have all day to try and get everything done , go to the mall , have lunch with my friends , workout , buy art supplies todays gonna be a good day

i hope so. It feels good when your day goes smoothly


I found an old picture in a box of my Great Grandparents.

Not visibly.  It was a picture from their wedding day and it brought a smile to my face to see them so young.

Aw hopefully you never lose that picture!


I'm excited to start on a new website design tomorrow.

What kind of website are you planning on designing?

Our company landed a big deal with a local car dealership!  So it should be a fun project.

Nice! Perhaps I can go buy a car on the website one day!


I have been collecting supplies for this hurricane season. I am as ready as I'll ever be for whatever comes my way!

That's a good idea. It's best to be prepared for a dangerous weather situation, as you never know when it can happen.

Yeah, that is especially true since I am responsible for my wife and kid as well!

Yes, as a wife and mother, I know I usually look to my husband for guidance and strength in situations like that!


I cheated on my math test the other day. I felt pretty rotten about it.

What prompted you to do that?  Did you tell someone and clear your conscience?

I haven't yet - you're the first that I've told. I have a feeling I won't be able to sleep tonight.

Best thing you can do is tell the truth and clear it up. Its not worth it and you only cheat yourself.  You can do it and you'll feel better.


I swear as I get older I need to take my time in getting dress. I'm afraid I'm going to be on one of those Walmart meme.  I've left home and before you know it I realize I have something on wrong.

Oh no! I always like to pick out what I'm wearing the night before. Maybe that would help?

Funny you say that.  I just told my mom she needs to pick out her clothes for the week and church on Sundays to avoid being frustrated.  I think I should take my own advice.

It really could help. I heard Einstein used to wear the same clothes everyday because it would help him stay focused on his studies!


At the movies last week, the children would not stop talking.

No they were unsupervised, I was getting fed up

I would be too. I would have complained to staff.


I got back from vacation last week and found a huge dent in my car.

That is awful, did the person who hit it leave a note or a call back number?

No. They just hit it and left the airport parking lot. I'm pretty incensed.

You should ask the airport people if they have any security footage of the parking lot, maybe they can track down the car.


He did it without incident.  I admired his skill.

Wow, that's impressive! It usually comes back up.


I felt so down when i failed the test at school and didnt win

a golden medal and my name in the gym wall

Oh well I'm sure there's always next year! Was it a fitness test or what


I am taking care of my sister when she get out of the hospital

Good for you.You are an exampler brother.

That is so hard to imagine.She will need all the help she can get from you.


I feel like my husband is the sweetest man in the world

That is great! Hopefully he continues to be

I think he will. He puts up with me, and sometimes i can be a pill!

Lol i'm sure you have to put up with him as well so its even


Why should I feel sorry for myself when I gave it my all but the experiment still failed

You should be proud you gave it your all

Yes buddy, I will just record my data the way it is maybe it will help another research someday

That's a great way to look at it. Stay positive!


I ended up on one of those "Top 40 under 40" lists for people in my profession. Felt pretty good.

That is an amazing accomplishment.  What field are you in?

Finance, basically, but it was a little broader than that. I wish my mom were still around, she would have been so happy.

I'm sure you know that she is so proud of you!  That is really incredible!  Congratulations!


I saw a lot of people voting today. I voted early.

Very long. I think its good that people are taking action.

I agree. More people should get involved to make a change.


My dog go into the trash can and drug it all over the house. I am so mad right now!

I know, it is going to take me all evening to clean up!

I like dogs but thats why i dont have one lol


I ordered a birthday cake from the local bakery for my husband.

It was a chocolate cake. It was the best decorated cake I have ever seen.


I was able to get an interview for a great job, by the time I was going into it I felt that I knew everything they would require and I was not worried at all.

Nice! You sound like you prepared very well

I did, I prepared in every way possible. It was all worth it in the end because I was able to show them just how valuable I was.

I love that feeling. Being prepared for whatever comes your way, good luck!


i lost my wallet but someone returned it

oh really? they are very handy and i was happy the guy got it to me'

I just use the back of my phone, which holds my cards.


That's pretty impressive.  I don't think I could manage that.,


I am nervous because I am having a surgery tomorrow

I could say major surgery. It is a surger for an ulcer.


I was gardening last weekend and have to move pots that have been sitting outside for years. I knew there were spiders!

Oh no! I hate spiders! Were you able to avoid them and move your pots?

I was very careful and scanned what I could see then I got a grip and threw them and kicked them around in the yard. I must have looked nuts!

If people knew it was because of spiders they'd totally understand. I can't stand their creepy crawly bodies!


MY ex has a gambling problem. Thats why we broke up

That really stinks. What game did she used to play?

He play slot machines only. We broke up two years ago and he still hasn't gotten it together. He asked me for help with his car note the other day. I'm no enabler.

Yup. Because as soon as you give him a sweet stack of cash, he's probably going to blow it at the slots.


I cant wait to go on my end of summer trip in texas.

not really sure but im excited to just be invited

Got any family out there? Cousins perhaps


That's great! Where are you working for your new job?

I am working as a broker.My dream job !!!

Congratulations on your new job! You must have worked very hard to get there!


Just found out I'm not getting a promotion at work that I was up for. I'm kind of bummed to not be moving up in the company that I work for, as I really like everyone here, and the company itself, and what we do. But I'm satisfied knowing that someone more deserving than me got it, and that they still see me as worthy in the long run, and that I still get to enjoy my current situation.

I'm sorry the hear that.  Maybe another company would appreciate your talent.

Well, maybe so, but that's okay. Like I said, I like where I'm at now and I kind of hate change, so we'll stick it out for another year or two and see how it goes. I'm not in a big rush. It's the first job I've gotten since I graduated college, so I don't want to be too hasty and move around too much. I appreciate your viewpoint, though!

The first job out of college is a good way to test the waters but someday you will have to spread those wings.


A few months ago we were planning our wedding and I couldn't wait until the actual day finally arrived.

It was even better then expected. It was very small, but so happy how it turned out.

I'm glad to hear... Weddings can be stressful


I went to a hanuted house ans severely underestimated how scary they are.

I love haunted houses! Did you go alone?

No i went with friends. I don't know if i would have made it through without help. Lol

That sounds like a great time! It's always good to do those things with friends.


My cat spit up a hairball into my shoes today.

Well, at least he/she feels better now? Sorry about your shoes.

I was so mad her! Those were ten million dollar shoes!

Wow. I didn't know shoes could cost that much!


That's terrible, I hope you apologized, or at least returned it and it was stolen for a good reason.

It actually just stolen so I could get ingredients for pancakes. I keep meaning to pay them back, but I haven't.

Well you should if it's weighing on you.


I got everything I need for a quality work session this morning. My coffee, a hot shower, and some food/water. Should be an efficient day!

Sounds like an amazing day honestly... i hope tomorrow goes the same for you.

Thank you. Do you have a morning ritual like me also?

Oh yeah and I hate to admit it but if it doesnt go as planned I do let it ruin my day.


My husband put together a graduation party for me and I had idea!

That was nice of him. What idea did you have? As in how to return the favor or something?

Sorry, I meant no idea. I was so happy and shocked.

Ohh... hah, that makes more sense. Then he did his job well. Good on him. But more importantly, congratulations to you for graduating! I know the feeling.. I'm close to graduating myself, and I can already feel the excitement. I hope no one surprises me with a party though.. too shy of a nerd for that.


Yum!!!!! I literally just watched a recipe on how to make a vegan chocolate cake so I'm craving one!  With tons of icing!


My friend got drunk over the weekend and I had to take care of him. It was pretty irritating

He was just slurring words and saying dumb things

Oh, yeah I get it though, you do not get paid to babysit


I am really glad to see how hard my son is working

Sounds like a good kid. What has he been working on.

He got his first job and he has been really responsible with it and it has been 4 months


I'm surprised with how clean the house was after I came home from my trip. My wife is the best!

That's awesome. Would have been a bummer to come home to a messy house.

Yeah, I hate messy places, I'm OCD and it drives me nuts

Well it's good that you have such a great wife! I hope you guys have an amazing life together.


i saw a cat the other day it showed up out of nowhere i got really scared.


Oh yeah, we talked for quite a while about all the fun memories!

That is so fun!  Memories are always a wonderful thing to have


My friend bought me a programming course.

Yea, it is. I was just talking about how I wanted to learn yesterday, and the next thing is this course in my email.


I am proud of myself for working so much recently, I stepped up and worked long hours each day, and I was not used to doing that

You will be really happy when you get paid

I hope so, my problem is I do the math before, so I expect the numbers


When i was cleaning the basement. I found old video game which i used to play when i was young!!

Wow! What platform was it for? Nintendo or Atari or Sony?

Nintendo. It brought up lot of good old memories!!

Sounds like you had a great childhood, you can try playing it now by downloading an emulator haha, I tried that and it was great


Went out to lunch and no one ever came over to greet let alone seat us, what a waste.

I would never go to that place again. Did you go to a different place?

No, by the time we got there and back into the car, it was time to head back to work.

that's horrible! I'm sorry to hear that. if i was you i would write a bad review on this restaurant's facebook page


I went out and got everything the kids needed for school to start.

Good for you.  Feels nice having school supplies squared away in advance.

For sure! Everything ready to go, and I can relax and count down the days.

You're excited for them to start back then?


Man, I let one of my friends take my Benz one day to run some errands. I really thought she would be careful with it.

Yes, she hit a parked car at the super market. She's okay, but I am not sure I will let her use it ever again.

I can understand that. I would be extra careful if I was driving someone else's car...especially Benz!


I am really nervous about my court date on Monday.

It must be nerve wracking! Will you be contesting a ticket?

No, a drug possession charge, but I was just holding them for a friend.  I don't know what will happen, though.

Oh my, sorry to hear that. These things are never easy. You must be strong in order to fight this.


My boyfriend broke up with me and I understand but I miss him a lot. I liked having him around, he always made me laugh and not feel like I was doing everything on my own.

I'm sorry that happened. Do you still have contact with him?

Nah, I'm doing that whole no contact thing that people suggest.

Cliche as it is, time heals all wounds and whatnot. I hope you can find somebody just as great as him or learn to be content on your own!


I can never figure out why my wife is so grumpy.

maybe she is getting older, mines a little grumpy as well but i accept it

that's not too bad, maybe she needs more attention from you


I was torn away to hear that my dad was having health problems again. It's always so stressful

I am sorry to hear that.  Will he be okay?


I'm asking my girlfriend to marry me this weekend.

wow. congratualations. do you think she is expecting it?


I know that feeling!  Are you involved in any political or activists groups?

Me neither.  But I agree with your sentiment - it is a great place to live and be a part of!


I was challenged to a 2 on 2 pool game with my partner being my friend Joe.

I did alright, but Joe carried the team and I expected him to due to his pool skills.

Being on a team with someone more skilled than you has it advantages, it's good that he lived up to those expectations.


I've been feeling pretty wholesome recently.

I don't know whether that's a good or bad thing. Which is it?

It's good, I just meant that I can be by myself and feel alright.

That's great! It's definitely a good thing when you can be yourself.


I found albums of old pictures in my attic when I was a little kid. I miss the old days when I had no responsibilities!

Yeah I heard that before. You must have a twin running around here!

I actually do have a twin, lol. I miss the good ol' days!

When I was young we had tintypes. You had to stay still for 45 minutes for your picture to be taken. I don't miss the ol' days!


I found out that I'm getting a bonus for having the top rating in my district!

Congratulations!  That is amazing!  You must be a hard worker.  What do you do?

I help manage distribution for a large company in my city.  Really I just hold a clipboard and crunch lots of numbers.  LOL

That's an important job though!  You're keeping things running smoothly for that business to thrive.  I'm so happy for you.  Money is tight for me so when I hear someone getting a bonus...it just makes me so happy for them to get that added chunk of money!


the house has been so empty and quiet since my dog passesd last week.

it has been hard. he was always here waiting for me to get home


Once I accidentally farted very loud in school.

Yes!! and I was yawning so I didnt really hear it.  But everyone else did.


I can't believe my husband planned a trip all by him.

I am still shocked he planned a cruise for 7 days.


I am feeling a little bad I forgot bird food this weekend. The birds and squirrels gather on my fence line when everything is empty :(

Oh hey! A fellow bird feeder. Did you eventually get some?

No I have to go tomorrow. I feel a deep pain when I am not taking care of them. They definitely expect it! I LOVE making sure all the critters are fed- with how cruel the world is to them- It's the least I can do..also skunks, bunnies etc at night like to come too. I will go get it tomorrow, I promise!

That's good. Sometimes we forget to do things that matter to us.


I get to the airport 3 hours before my flight leaves

I prefer to be early than being running late.

Me too - I get very stressed if there's even a chance of being late.


The garbage men had trash strewn all over and they just left it- It fell out apparently when they were throwing trash in the truck.

Nope! They never do here. I don't understand not doing your job and they provide a great service! but they should really do it well.


I went camping the other week, and it was so nice to not worry about everything like I normally do

Oh I love camping.   Was it relaxing?  Sometimes camping can be work.

It was very relaxing. Camping can be work, but once you set things up it should be effortless. I really needed it

Im glad.. it seems like we both are getting the vacations we need!


my husband I are fixing my parents house.

Well that is very nice of you.  Is it a pretty big project?

yes it is, but we are helping it to look better everyday!

That is great.  I sure they are very thankful for the lep


We're taking my neice and nephew to the amusement park


My child is having his first birthday soon.

Ugh I was hoping that is not the case, I would want my kid to be young forever
