i loved taking care of my sisters pet the other day


I was a little lonesome last weekend. I was sick and my friends were busy

Was the cat nice? I know they can be sassy when they don't get all of the attention lol


i have a coworker that comes into work late every day and takes way too many breaks

How frusterating! Have you brought it up to management

i have told my supervisor countless times and she fails to address the problem

I can tell the frusteration in your tone. I would go above your supervisor since nothing has been done. Otherwise you will stay frustrated and angry.

it won't help anything because management is so nonchalant about discplinary action at my job

Wow! I dont know what else you can do. Your at a dead end right now. How annoying!

I know how you feel. I would be furuious.


I finally thought my dog how to sit and give me her paw. I felt very accomplished and happy!

Like 7 months or something? She's still a puppy but she never listens so when she finally learned something, I was so excited!!


I'm going off to college soon and I'll be leaving the small town that I grew up in. It's a pretty tough thing to do, I really love this place and have a strong attachment to it.

Understandably so. You must be pretty anxious over the whole ordeal.

A little bit, but mostly excited. I do plan, if at all possible, to move back here or at least close enough to visit often. It's hard to let go for sure.

That's a great idea. No need to let go of the place you call home completely. I hope everything works in your best interests!


I've just successfully completed my first international flight/trip by myself.

Yes, I got to see my family so it was great! I had to be very organized. The flights and layovers were kind of intense.


Went to the store, and the steaks were $1 per pound. I stocked up!

What!! That's a crazy good deal!! where at?

It's at Giant. Not sure if you guys have it where you live.

we do! I will definitely go there tomorrow. hopefully our giant has the same deal lol


I was so upset when I lost my wallet last week. I looked all over for it and could not find it anywhere.

Well I was going to give up and cancel all my cards when I got a knock on my door. It was a nice lady with my wallet! I was so thankful I gave her $50.

Oh wow, that's very nice of her. A lot of people would have just stolen it.


I recently found out that the woman of my dreams like another. I am incredibly jealous of him.

:( I'm very sorry. Have you tried telling her how you feel? That could affect her decision.

I have not told her as much as I need to. I am trying to build the courage.

I know it's hard to build the confidence needed to do something like that, but you don't want to keep them to yourself. If you really think she is the woman of your dreams then you have to try


I have an adorable hamster that doesn't look like he's doing well. He is on the old side for hamsters, and I'm worried he won't live much longer.

Oh no, I am sorry to hear that. I hope that he gets to feeling better. How old is he?

Thank you, me too! He's a little over 2 years old. I'd hate to lose him, but they usually don't live more than 2-3 years.

Oh I see, I can understand your concern. Perhaps he will live longer than most hamsters!


I hope to get the good news from the doctor today.

It would be that there is nothing wrong with me.


I remember when my mom used to make me brownies.

I miss those times.  Those were the days.

I understand. I have sometimes the same feeling.


Going on vacation this weekend. I can't wait!


So when i was younger i had family over and also my girfriend.

Well i ended up making out with my girlfriend on the couch when i though everyone was in the dining room.

I bed it was exciting just because of the idea of getting caught!

Well i got caught and i felt bad and awkward.

Oh wow! Wasn't expecting that. But kissing your girlfriend is hardly something to be shamed of.


I was watching a TV show and the couple were getting married. It was so sweet that it made me cry.

Awe I love weddings! Were they having a big wedding or a small one?

It was big. But it made me feel down because I haven't had one yet.

You will when the time is right and it'll be beautiful.


My boss finally realized all the hard work I've been doing lately.

That is great that your hard work has paid off.

Things have been slow at work and no one has gotten any raises lately, but mine finally came through at a good time!

Now you having something to celebrate. Congrats!


That's too bad. Why do you think she is doing that?

She just started daycare. I think the kids there whine a lot.

Those dastardly kids! I hope she grows out of it eventually.


I am happy with my life right now, everything is going well

That is awesome! What all do you have going on?

I have a good job, good girlfriend and good friends!

That is great, you are very lucky and blessed!


Since it was my birthday today, when I came home there was a big pink cake and flowers waiting for me :)

My husband! I did not see it coming at all, thought we were going to wait till the weekend to celebrate.

Wow, how sweet of him, you are both lucky!


My grandma passed away earlier this year. We used to always get together as a family and play cards on sundays. This sunday is the first time we're doing it again without her. It will feel weird, but nice to be with family again

Aww, that's so sad. I'm sure she would have wanted ya'll to keep having fun times together.

Yeah, you're right. And we figured the same. We just didn't do it for a little while because it felt weird at first, and then it was easier to not be doing it once we got out of the habit. Glad we didn't let it go too long though.

Yes, it's good to keep bonding. I understand not being able to do it at first, though


i hope that i can see my family by the end of the year

Why are they in a  place so far away from you? Are you away at college?


I was upset when I found out my job does not pay for you to take a lunch break, that ruined my day

Ours does if you are full time, but I have been working full time hours recently but not getting that perk...

That's very unusual. Most jobs don't. I would talk to the managers about it! Paid lunch would be great


I just found a photo book of me and my family growing up.

Aw, that's awesome, did it bring back memories?

It was pretty nostalgic , how young we all looked growing up.

Yeah, it's always nice to take a look back and reflect on the early days.


My parents threw me a surprise party today!

woah really nice!! what and all they did

They gave me a bunch of presents and doritos! I was so stunned!


I had a great job interview the other day. Im really feeling good about how it went.

That's fantastic! Hopefully you'll hear something about it soon.

I should be. I just feel that I did really well.


Luckily the braves are doing good this season, the past few years have been tough.


Ever since I started riding my motorcycle, traffic has been an interesting affair. Sometimes I think drivers are mad or confused at me, but they really just want to talk about the bike!

I bet that is an experience you are still trying to get used to

Oh, for sure. I always try to ride defensively and so I don't cause offense to others, but it can really be random sometimes.

I see a lot of cars that do not watch out for motorcycles, be careful out there


I am very convinced that I have severe trust issues. It's really hurting my relationships with other people.

I'm sorry! I can relate to that to some level, as I often feel leery of other's intentions as well. Any reason why?

I am confident that it's because of my past relationships. Hopefully, I can learn to trust people more someday

Yes, it will take some time and being with a person that is worth your trust, but it can happen. Best of luck!


Me and a classmate compared scores we got on a test.

That sucks. And you guys studied the same amount?


Man, I was sitting alone at 3am last night with the lights off. Felt spooky

I can imagine.  I hate being out alone at those kinds of hours.  I try to avoid it.

Yeah, it wouldn't be so bad if I was with someone, but you know how it is. When the lights are out and no one is around, you feel lonely

I get that feeling.  Something about the dark just feels so depressing sometimes.


I always feel sad when i think about my dad, he passed away few years back

Oh god.. so sorry to hear that. May i ask how did it happen?

Sorry.. Hopefully he is at a better place now.


The other weekend I really wanted to go out, but I realized I don't have any good friends left.

That is a bad realization to come to.  Where did they all go?

Well I used to hang out with a lot of my coworkers but I left that job. And just kind of drifted away from everyone else. I definitely need to find a new sport or something and make new friends.

Yeah, that is tough.  Once you get to a certain age you have to work pretty hard to meet people.  Maybe you could join a softball league, that's what I did.


I entered a raffle to win these amazing homemade things. I really wanted this big beautiful quilt. It was so pretty.


Last night I was looking at my things I have in a storage locker and found a tub filled with my grandfathers things. The good memories came flooding back.

Yes, he's been gone 10 years but I still think of him daily. It's strange how someone can make such an impact on someone for so long.


I can't wait to see how my daughters turn out as adults.

Me either. It is going to be interesting.


i am alwys in awe watching my favorite band play


Oh no, that's terrible. Is there anyway to redo it?

No, I will just have to get an A on my final.


I was able sort out some communication problems that I had with my manager. I can finaly enjoy my job with peaceful mind.

Yes. Now, I have a nice weekend. Job problems can be heavy impact on my life.

It definitely does.  You shouldn't have to stress about your job


I feel so at ease and happy when my husband is home with me. I don't like being home alone

that's sweet. You guys must have a great relationship.

Yes, we do. He just makes me for so happy and satisfied.

That's great. How long have you been married?


He owes me money, but he was out drinking last night. I can't afford to go out.

You should not lend money to anyone,even if it is your friend


I got a retro video game system the other day.

It was a Super Nintendo Mini. It really took me back to my childhood days.

Wow, I just got the NES one.  They are so nostalgic.


I felt sad that I was not asked to be the bridesmaid at a close friends wedding

That is unfortunate, how long have you been friends with this person?

We have been friends for about 5 years now.  I was happy for her. Just shocked at the situation

There is surely a reason why. Did she have many family members as bridesmaids?


How are you going to learn! Why are you afraid to go?

It ain't so bad. I'm sure you'll make a few new friends and everything will be just fine.


One of my classmate shamelessly asked me to copy my homework and submit as his own. So disgusted at his behavior

Well maybe he trusted you as a good friend, next time try to help him with his homework instead

We are not that close and that is the thing that he dared to directly ask me for it. Plagiarism is unacceptable no matter what

Oh yeah, that's not great. Next time make sure to say no directly to his face


My aunt just signed for my cousin to get an FJ Cruiser! That is my dream car! He doesn't even have a job.

It does! Maybe he will at least let me drive it!

Hopefully! It is your dream car after all


I lost my friend in a car accident. It has been very sad news.

That's sucks. You must have been devastated when you got the news.

Yes I was. I felt so numb when I first got the news, but slowly learned to cope with it.

You'll get over it. They're probably up in heaven watching over you now.


A lady was having issues with a program on her computer, and I solved it with no problems!

That's awesome! My experience was quite opposite as I sat waiting in the dentist chair for a 2 1/2 hour procedure!

That sounds unpleasant, did you get in afterwards?

Yes! I'm actually glad it's over :) So, how long did it take you to fix the computer problem?


I am angry with how my neighbors talk to their dogs.

I can't stand people who treat animals horribly.

They yell at them everytime they go outside for the MINUTES they are out there and they get harassed the whole time until they don't want to get off the porch..then they get yelled at more! I rehabilitate dogs from such issues..and this gal is GIVING them complexes!

I hope you call the cops on them, so they can go to jail for animal abuse.


An actual ice cream man came through my neighborhood! I didn't think they still exist.

I don't think that I have seen/heard one of those since the 90s... Possibly the early 2000's at the earliest! Crazy, I didn't know that they still exist either!

Right? Seeing the kids come running out really made me miss when I was little and got all excited about the ice cream man!


Whenever I work in my garden the mosquitoes eat me alive. It is the worst experience!

Omg yes, mosquitos are awful. Do you use any spray?

I tried some but it didn't help that much. I think I need some citronella candles to handle the pesky critters!

Nothing seems to for sure keep those things away but the bites are the worst.


I had a get together recently, One of my friends brought someone who couldn't hold their liquor.

Oh no, did they do something embarrasing?

Heh, well they projectile vomited all over my carpet, it was gross.


I found my old teddy bear in a box from a storage unit today. It really brought back some memories.

That's really cool! What kind of memories resurfaced?

It was the last thing my mom gave me before she passed away, so it wasn't really good memories.

Oh, I am sorry for being so insensitive. I am sure your mother is in a better place.


That's unfortunate.  You must have been lonely.  Has your situation improved since then?

Not really. At least not in that way. I've got my own family now, but the last time I saw a friend was over 20 years ago.


I was driving to a new destination and I kind of knew the directions. My mom did not turn the navigation on and she let me drive there.

I hoe you made it there. Getting lost sucks!

Yeah it does. Well, I made it there with a couple wrong turns, but my memory worked out for me.

I am glad you made it there with only a few hiccups along the way. You must have a good memory when it comes to directions.


I am sad I didn't get to see Taylor Swift in concert.

Taylor swift is actually amazing, she is my guilty pleasure.

I hopefully can see her on her next tour.

Yes! I think she is coming to my city soon!


I understand. Will your insurance help you?


I understand how you feel, I used to have one like that, when It passed away, I got a puppy of the same exact breed and gave it the same name. with a few month, It looked like the one that passed away so It helped me to forget


I really do not like it when people lie to me.

Yes, I try not to associate with those kinds of people.

Same here. It's better in the long run if you don't I believe.


It's birthday soon. I want to be a better person.

Make that wish when you blow out the candles

Birthday wishes come true. You will have to work at it still though.


I have a solo trip coming up. I'm going to Colorado to climb Mt. Elbert Solo. It's the tallest mountain in the united states.

Yes me two. I used to live in Colorado. I have not been up a mountain that big in years, I'm getting the belly butterfly's.


I won a prize at the fair, it was ok I guess.


Never. I don't remember a time when it was that cheap anywhere in the world

I remeber my mom taking us to school once and getting gas for 98 cents.

Good memory. We all have to change with the times.


My neighbor in my duplex is still up at this hour doing some kind of sanding and sawing! I asked him to stop and he won't!

That is very disrespectful, especially since he is not in a stand-alone home.  Can you tell your landlord about it?

He's my landlord's father-in-law, oddly enough.  I have let him know in the past and will let him know at a good hour.  Next time I'll just call him in the middle of the night and tell him its happening.  Its like he's an insomniac.

That is just crazy!  I hope he stops really soon - or you can figure out how to cut the power off on his side - LOL!


I got an interview for a job way above what I thought I was qualified for

That is great news. How did the interview go?

It hasn't happened yet. Monday 20th August


Diet and exercise and it was rough. I just ordered some new clothes online. I can't wait til they get here. I still don't like trying on clothes in public.

Trying on clothes is the worst.  I went through a weight loss recently, and it's definitely worth it in the end.  Keep vigilant to keep it off!


I'm meeting a girl for a date at the zoo this afternoon.

Awesome first date! Hopefully it goes well for you.

I'm optimistic. I think its going to go well.

What's your favorite exhibit at the zoo?


I have a 7 year old daughter that asked to play piano. I found a piano teacher and she is very intense. I thought she would scare my 7 year old but she has excelled in just 7 months of playing. Maybe the teacher is not all that bad.

Wow!  That is amazing!  I guess a little tough instruction and training has paid off!  No need to worry then.

That is exactly what I thought, but recently she has started to push her a little bit harder and wanting to her to compose music because my daughter has a great ear for music.

That's fantastic.  It sounds like she has tapped into her inner musical talent!


So Im a little bummed out today. I couldnt secure tickets to see my favorite band. They sold out really quick.

That is indeed a bummer. Maybe you can pick some up on a ticket trading website?

They are already marked up really high. Those dang scalpers really irritate me.

Seriously. It ruins it for the real fans.


A really young guy hooked up my cable yesterday.

Are you a guy too? I bet you were envious of his looks and age hahah

Haha. No I was just impressed that he did such a good job, and so quickly. He was pretty cute too


I can't make decisions when buying things if there is too many choices

Do you run into this issue a lot?  I could imagine grocery shopping to be a nightmare

Yes! I get very anxious and tense about it. Shopping is my least favorite thing to do

Does online shopping make it easier?  I would think maybe it would relieve some stress if you could do it from your house


I am so happy.. my sister just had a baby!


My girlfriend is going through a tough process of finding a job after graduating. She's hearing a lot of "no's." She's going to an interview later today for a job she really wants, and I'm worried it will be another no. Trying to make sure the evening is nice and comfortable afterwards to ease the pain, if there is any.

That is tough. I would just make sure everything is nice and clean around the house so she can just unwind. Maybe make a nice dinner and do the dishes after.

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought about doing. It's just weird cause there's only so many times I can say the same lines about how she just has to be patient and to not take it personal, and all that stuff. I just try not to be annoying, I guess.

I see. I would maybe only bring it up if she wants to discuss. It a hard position to be in.


I went to the pound today and i felt like taking every animal home.

I have been there, done that.  I used to be a dog groomer and I love dogs.   Its so sad to go the pound and see all the homeless dogs.

How do you deal with it? I just want them all!

I usually deal with it by not going to the pound anymore to look.   I had a dog die in a house fire not long ago and I am just not ready for a dog.


I've gotten a good deal of work done today.

That's awesome. You must feel really relieved.

I do feel a lot better when I work well.


i cant wait to take my son to his first day of school tomorrow. pre k


I work in retail. I think I'm being considered for a promotion too.


I really miss when I was young and living at home with my parents. They spoiled me.

I'm sorry that you are missing them.Maybe you can go home and see them soon?

I will soon. What stinks is now I have to work for a living. I really miss the good old days.


There was this one time years ago that we threw a party and I got so drunk, I do not remember anything! You know it is bad when you have people telling you what all you did and you can not remember any of it

Yeah, when I was younger I did some of that stuff as well. It's a really embarrassing thing to hear stories about things you did that you don't remember doing.

Tell me about it, nothing like having someone tell you that you strpped down and jumped into the pool while everyone was still there. Glad those days are behind me

Well if you have never gotten blind drunk and strip naked, you haven't lived.


My dad told me he was going to give me a gift card to a steak house, but he never followed through.


I heard gunshots outside my house the other day in the middle of the night. I think it was 2 or 3 in the morning.

Not a chance! I was too scared to go out, and I didn't want to peek my head out to talk to the police or anything when they showed up. I honestly thought someone might have barged into my house and started trying to shoot me.

Man. That must've been really nerve wrecking. Did you get any sleep?


I have a really big game coming up this weekend. I haven't played soccer since I was a kid and have been really nervous about joining an adult league.

I just don't want to embarrass myself or my team. I'm so scared i'm going to make a fool of myself.

You're too hard on yourself. Everyone messes up sometimes, even the greats.


I have a full time job that doesn't pay anything.

That really sucks man. Are you planning on looking for a new one?

I love my job, it involves my five year old kid and my eighty year old grandma.

Well, as long as you're doing something you enjoy, that's all that really matters.


This is ridiculous. I have to take my car to the shop again.

I hate having car troubles! What is it this time?

Some jerk rear ended me and now I need body work done. The clown didn't even have insurance! Its insane what people get away with.

My sister is recently going through the exact same thing. It was frustrating for her for a while, but things are looking up for her! I'm sure they will for you as well.


As a kid, I was SO frightened any time there was a tornado warning. Not sure if it was the Wizard of Oz effect or what -- I just remember being frozen with fear.

Oh, wow! My son was terrified of tornadoes because of that darn movie, and we don't really even get tornadoes where we live! Did you ever live through a tornado?

That's the thing -- NO! I mean, there were some that were kind of close -- but NOTHING like what so many folks have to deal with. I just remember wanting a basement sooooo badly -- not something that's common where I grew up!

Aw, poor little thing! How did you overcome this? Or, are you still afraid of them?

My mom said the best thing once when I was babysitting and a tornado warning went off and I didn't want my own fear to affect the little boy I was with -- she was on the phone and just said "You have big plans for the future, right? Nothing is going to get in the way of that." For some reason, it worked a charm ;-)

Your mom sounds awesome!  Wow, what a cool thing to say!


The sun is shining and I have no plans for today

Sounds like a great day to relax then! What will you do?

I don't know. I need to pick up a delivery - but after that I'm just going to chillax

Nice, you should just snuggle in and binge your favorite tv shows.


One time I was so nervous to look at my grade for my final exam

I feel that way sometimes when I check my bank account, how's school going?

I failed and dropped out! Now I live in my parents house doing nothing all day

Word, college is tough, wishing you the best


My dog died 10 minutes ago. I am quite saddened.

That is terrible, I am so sorry. Was it of natural causes?

Yeah, I think so. I am really not sure, since he hasn't been to a vet in a while. I may go get a new one in a bit.

You can just replace him that fast? Don't you need time?


I had a job interview today and i think it really well.

that's really good you feel pretty secure about it then?

The interviewer told me that I was his favorite interview so far. And I think my qualifications are a really good match for the company.

oh wow then that is really good! For someone to say that! You should be very proud of yourself.


Overtly superficial people tick me off.  They're nice to you in person but talk crap behind your back that's what you call a two-faced friend

I call them hypocrites. They take advantage of people whenever it suites their needs. Can't stand the presence of such people

Yup exactly.  Especially when you're keeping it real.  The least you could do is return the favor

I knew a couple of people whom I suspected of fitting the description we talked here. And I tried to stay away from them as much as i could


MY kids just won't go to sleep at night.

They going to have sore bottoms soon. I can't stand it.

Well they will have insomnia and sore bottoms haha


I was so gosh darn mad when my favorite show, the Beverly Hillbillies, got canceled!

Oh me TOO!!!!  That and Hee Haw both!  How did you cope?

I cope by eating 10 gallons of Ben and Jerry's and watching reruns. I've been doing that for the past 20 years!

Oh man.  So the cancellation of Beverly Hillbillies took a toll on your health?


My friend won the lottery, wasn't expecting it.

Jeez, that's a lot!  I hope they can manage it ok.


Do you know it was her for sure? That is horrible that you cant trust your own sister.

Yeah, no one else in the household would ever do something like that. The worst thing is, my parents did nothing about it.

That is horrible. It sucks that you have to keep such a close eye on your things in front of family. I would be so mad.


I'm hoping to buy a home this fall.  I recently met with a loan officer about a mortgage.  He was very highly recommended by my realtor, so I thought the meeting would go well.  I was really disappointed when I didn't like the guy and he wasn't helpful at all.

Oh my yeah I would have been pretty irritated!

Yes, it was a real bummer.  Now I have to search around for someone else to help me get a mortgage.  It's a drag when personal recommendations don't work out.

Yes it stinks when things just dont work out, but keep your head up, Im sure you will find someone you like that will be a big help to you!


I found my old play toy the other day. It made me feel like i missed the old days.

Haha adulting is a funny word. yes those old days were the best.


I was thinking about my pets and a few loose cats I know of a lot the past few days and how I will always be dedicated to helping animals."

Awww.. I love cats.. Sorry.. I was yelling at my boyfriend..

LOL! Well that is a funny thing. Yelling at him? What happened! Yes, I will always help them. I am very worried about a little grey and white one especially...He used to beg at my neighbors door..and my neighbor is now gone and I haven't seen him.

Awww.. I hope you find him.. he is playing video games and being super lazy

Oh girl...Don't you hate that? I cannot stand a lazy dude..Unless they are working 15 hour days..and even then..I work too- Everyone needs to help. Oi...When did men ever turn into boys as they get older? And not in the cute happy way! lol

He sucks he doesn't work or do chores at home.. PS4 24/7

Kick him out honey..You are not his mother. Partners should never have to be the parent to a grown adult. You are worth more then that and you are here working. Frankly he either needs to be taking care of the house and doing a good job OR WORKING..His job should be looking for work all day then. Oi...I am angry for you!!

He thinks I am his mother I think he wants to be mothered


i am just absolutely mind boggled, i just brought the coffee 3 days ago! and it's ALREADY FINISHED! WHAT

Oh gosg. Do you have some greedy roommates or something?

just greedy? more than that, who the hell finishes a whole 500g of coffee in 3 days !

Hahahaa good point. Maybe try hiding your groceries.


I wish I was born wealthy. I have to give up spending time with my family to get more hours at work in.

I'm sorry, that's life for most of us, though.

Yes, it definitely is. Gotta work with what ya got.


I can't wait for the new Super Smash Brothers game to be released.

when does it come out? i wanna get that too and the new online service

I think it comes out in December, but I'm not positive actually.


Oh really? Is there any specific reason why?

Its been a good day at work, it just put me in a good mood!

That's great! Do you have good days often?


In July, I found a large moth inside a cottage that my brother and friends were staying at.

Oh fun!  How big was it about?  Did it have neat markings on it?

It was as big as a small bird, I was super surprised. It was furry and white all over. I caught it with a cup and let it outside so it can live on!

I think I saw someone post a picture of those online. Maybe it was a lunar moth! What a fun experience!


I don't know who keeps double parking at my workplace.

that is the worst, i hate when people cant park

I just don't like inconsiderate people. Like they own the world.

i know the feeling, there are a ton of people like that too


I am so upset with how my rent continues to increase!

I know, it's awful! How much did your rent go up?

another 95 dollars. it has went up 3 times in 6 months.

Wow...You need to find a new place to live because that's completely unreasonable.


I felt like I could do anything after I finished meditating

I try to go longer everyday, I was able to go 50 minutes yesterday

Dang! Well I hope you have a stress-free weekend and be full of energy!


They're buying everyone shakes today at work.

Do you like shakes? Where are they from?

Sonic.  The real question is are these thanks for being awesome shakes, or bad news shakes.

That is a good question, I would be scared


so i am trying to type fast right now and my cat keeps moving on my lap.

i love cats, just hold it between your arms, it will be okay

yea she finally decided to settle down so i think I can type good now.

thats better, but sorry for the disappointment she had caused


Last week during the night someone came into my yard and stole my push mower.

Oh no!  Do you have any way of finding out who did it?

No, I called the police but it's almost impossible to track. I had to chained to a steel post, but they cut the chain with bolt cutters I guess. I sure hate thieves.

Yeah, thieves are terrible.  I mean, who would steal a mower?


I couldn't sleep last night. I ended up staying up till 2am and eating a large amount of Shepard's pie.

Combination of stress and new meds I think. Maybe I can get back to my old scheduled soon.


"My dog injured herself on her tongue and had to go in for surgery and my child went to his grandparents house that day so it was weird having the house so quiet. It was almost an eerie feeling.

It is eerie, isn't it. You must have felt quite strange. Hope your poor doggie is ok!

Yes she recovered well. Yes it was strange. I was jumping at every sound because I knew I was the only living thing in the house.. or was I?

That must've been terrifying for you. It's amazing how we can hear every little thing around us when we're alone!


it feels good the braves are finally relevant again

Yeah, they seem to be doing good this year.

they are and they are young so its going to be a few years of this hopefully

Hopefully so, maybe they can make a good run this year.


I was pretty excited to have a night out with the girls

It has probably been about 8 months are so


I stole candy from the candy store yesterday.

did you feel like being spontaneous or just did it for the thrill of it

I just did it because I wanted some candy, but now I feel kinda bad about it.

next time you go in, put the money of the candy into one of those charity cans


A friend of mine hadn't taken out her garbage in weeks.

You got that right. Also there were so many fruit flies around it, I felt sick to my stomach.

Oh gross.  I hope she won't do that again.


I see these bug guys at the gym lifting heavy weights and think they're cool with their big muscles. I don't know what girls see in them.

Yes I guess so. I wish they would look at me that way.


Well I have worked hard and lost some weight and toned up a bit after a year of not working out. I finally feel good when I go out in public instead of gross

Holy cow that's amazing!  Good on you!  How much weight have you lost?

Oh about 70lbs. I got in very bad health and had a bad health issue with pregnancy it's been a battle but after 6 months, I finally feel like an attractive woman when going outside. Its hard when you don't feel you look good

Yeah I can relate.  I bet you feel and look amazing!  That determination is a quality to behold.  Keep working hard!


My two best friends are going on vacation next week and I won't have anyone else at work to goof off with.

Awww that will be a boring week. Sorry to hear that. Maybe you'll be productive!

On the one hand, I hope so but on the other hand, I'll get bored because there's nothing to break up the day.  Just straight...ugh!  XD


The other day I was driving somewhere unfamiliar and I got lost.

I hate when that happens. I'm so bad with directions.

It was pretty scary. The GPS on my phone stopped working and I felt panicked.

I stopped at a gas station and asked for directions. Thankfully someone friendly was willing to help!

I depend so heavily on my GPS, i don't know what i would have done


That's great! I hope she goes to a good graduate school.


I babysat my nephew overnight last weekend. He was scared so I let him sleep in bed with me, even though he kicks a lot.

That was thoughtful, sometimes i think kids fake being scared just to not be alone. hope you didn't get kicked too much!

Haha I didn't sleep a wink. He's only 8. He pretends to be all cool, but he's still very much a little kid.

Kids are interesting creatures that's for sure. I'm sure you got some cool uncle points.


There was a wreck in front of my house yesterday morning early.


my grandmother passed yestserday. she was the one who raised me

oh im so sorry! it hurts when our parents leave us.  my uncle, who was basically my father, died in april.

yeah. i was fine yesterday but today has been hard. i usualy dont  show much emotion but i cant help it.

it's ok to feel however you are feeling. it's normal. you never get over it, but you do learn to live with it.


Hi friend, did you ever walk in the woods only to see a snake?

I have not seen a snake in the woods, have you? That sounds frightening!

It just sit there and then when I seen it, I ran away!


My elderly neighbor just recently had to put her dog to sleep. That dog was her best friend and companion.

That's sad. is she going to get another one?

I came across a really good, loving 8 year old dog that was abandoned by his family. He was in need of a home, so I got him and gave him to my neighbor. She was so happy.

That's good. Its important for the elderly to have some company.


I was waiting for a while for a video game to come out.  When it finally did it wasn't as great as I thought it was going to be.

I got my hopes up too much. I should wait for reviews to come out before I rush out and buy next time.

You can always sell them if you buy discs. Cant do anything with a download though

That's very true.  Which is why I prefer physical discs most of the time.


Hey, yesterday I forgot I had a test and spent the entire day worrying about it while trying to study.

I'm not too sure to be honest, I reviewed as much as I could, but I'm still worried about the results.

It was over linear algebra, which I've been having some trouble in.


I went to work with my pants inside out, and I didn't notice until my secretary pointed it out.

Omg i would have been so embarrassed! :O

It was very embarrassing! At least I didn't go the whole day like that.

thats true imagine if you had! it takes a lot of talent tho to put your pants on inside out and still manage to button them. ha ha


Speaking of babies, I got to meet my nephews yesterday!

Yes!  They are so sweet. I don't even like kids and I really felt my heart warm up to them.

Awww! Twins seem like a handful but also very exciting at the same time!


My son starts his first day of kindergarten next week!

Ah, that's so exciting! Is he looking forward to it?

Oh yes! he has not stopped talking about it all summer!

That's so cool, I'm sure he'll love it and make some great friends!


One of my friends just got a girlfriend and it was really surprising that he would get one before the rest of us.

He's pretty shy and also because he is just not great with women overall.

Some girls like a certain type. Or maybe it was written in the stars.


I felt really good tonight after I got back from the cinema.

Oh that sounds like fun! What kind of film did you see?

It was an action film, and it was surprisingly one of the best I've seen recently.

Action films on the big screen are very exciting with the loud sounds and visual effects!!


So my boss just gave me a huge bonus for managing to cut down expenses by ten percent

Well it turns out we were spending a bunch of extra money paying for a service we weren't even using anymore.


I got a good job, a nice house, a lovely dog, and great food. Life is awesome. I am so happy.

Yeah I can't complain. Guess everything has gone right for me!


That is definitely something to celebrate!


I worked hard coaching my pitchers all year, only to get smacked in the playoffs

That's a real bummer. I am sure they benefited from your coaching even if they didn't win in the playoffs.

i hope so! thats why i coach to better all of them

It must be satisfying to see the improvements of your pitchers. You are really helping their careers.


Oh yeah? Nice to hear. What exactly did you do?

We took a trip to the mountains to hike.  So nice to be away from the city outside in nature.

That's awesome, I'm from Kansas and first went to Colorado just a couple years ago. It was beautiful!

That sounds fun.  I haven't been to Colorado yet.  I'd like to go.

I agree though, always a good time to get away and explore some nature life.

It's very relaxing.  There was a lot of people.  More than I expected to see.

Well I'm pleased to hear you had a fun time. Hope you get to do it again soon.


I caught my wife red handed cheating on me I feel so bad

Oh that's got to be very tough! I'm sorry to hear that. How did you respond?

I couldn't move my body. I fainted because she had introduced the guy to me as her cousin

That would be pretty shocking overall! I hope you're able to move on from this somehow.


My supervisor belittled me in front of all of my coworkers in a meeting.

That is absolutely horrible! Was this recent?

Yes it was. I was furious and hurt. Leaders should not do that to their employees.

I agree. You should bring that up to HR.


i am so proud of my fiancee, she's been working extra hard.

thats good! nothing wrong with hard work and dedication

and seeing her reaching her goals and growing so much makes me so happy.


"I was thinking about going camping, but I'm worried about the weather ruining it.

Is it possible to re-arrange the date to when the weather would be more favorable?

Unfortunately not, this time is the only time I can get off work until a few months later.

I see. You shouldn't let it spoil your plans. Go and have fun but take a rain coat with you!


My roommate's friend comes over and just eats all of the food in our fridge without really asking. I don't get how people can have a total lack of self-awareness and can be so selfish to just barge in and eat other people's food. I cringe at thinking about being that rude to someone

I would be mad as heck. Did you confront them about this behavior?

I'm not really a confrontational person... I asked my roommate to say something since he knows him better obviously. He said he brought it up, but didn't seem to change much. Then I kind of said something too, but the guy just kind of laughed it off, like he thinks we're just joking. I dunno what goes through his head

Well, I might leave him a surprise in the fridge for the next time he comes over. Some Ex-Lax chocolate pudding or something.


I'm graduating in the Winter and already have a job lined up

That's awesome! I hope it's a good paying job.

It's ok. I'm just happy I won't have to job search for the time being.

I know what you mean, I hate job searching.


I had to sit with a dying dog at the rescue today.   It was sad but I felt like he deserved to be loved on before he passed away

That is terribly sad. I volunteer at our local shelter. I just love dogs.

Yeah its hard, but its worth it.  The next week I met another neglected dog that looked like my childhood dog.  He now has an amazing home.

That is so happy to hear! It's the nice things like that that make it worth it to volunteer.


My mom made a chocolate cake the other day and it reminded me of the one I had at my 8th birthday party.

Aw, good on her. I bet she knew exactly how it would make you feel, too. Things people do personally themselves always have the better result.

Now it's your turn! Surprise her with something that will remind her of something special too. People hate to hear it, but our parents are only with us for so long, and when they're gone we have so many regrets. Use that as a motivator


I lied to my friend about hanging out with someone she really hates, I feel bad about it.

No, but this person spread a nasty rumour about my friend.


Killed it then took stripped my bed apart to look for his friends.


Our computer system at work is goofing up a lot, but the development team just keeps saying there's nothing wrong.

Ugh, I bet that is really frustrating. Is it making it difficult to do your job?

Sometimes. It doesn't stop me from doing things, just slows me down and takes longer than it should to do the things I need to do.

That makes for long days at work. I hope they can fix it for you soon.


It is really crucial to being an honorable mate in your relationship.

Nothing happened on my end, but my mate used to be a horrible cheater.

That is bad and difficult to live. Sorry to hear that.


i lost my job today. was not my fault we got robbed

Oh no I am so sorry! I bet that must have been scary too

yes they took the money, but boss says its my fault they took it

wow they should care more that youre safe!


Hi, a few years ago, my husband got a job offer in Hawaii. We LOVE Hawaii, but we didn't know anyone there and you know how expensive it is to live there. We really had to think about that move...

Sounds like a real hard decision. I would be very apprehensive as well.

Yeah, but we did move and it ended up the best decision ever! We had so much fun and really loved living there. At least beaches are always free!

You sound so excited about it and your future there. I would be full of joy as well.


Every hurricane season I make sure to stock up on water and the essentials just in case.

Have you been through many hurricanes?  We stock up in case a tornado takes out the power.

I've been through quite a few. I live in Miami.

I've been through quite a few tornadoes.  I live in Missouri, but before that I lived in Kansas.  Have you ever had to use your supplies?

Yup. Last year when Irma came I had to pull out my kit.

Yikes!  So far we haven't had to dig into the water or food.  I do debate on getting a generator though.


Great day at the pool yesterday up until the point my shorts came off.

I found a bunch of dead mice few days ago

Getting out of the pool, my shorts slipped off.


I found out that my partner purchased a new bag for herself with my credit card. She did not even bother to let me know or ask me before using it

WOW, I would be quite upset,  Atleast let me know before you do that!

Indeed. I was quite angry at her for behaving in such a careless way. She did not even apologize to me for her actions

wow, Thats unbelievable.  Did you let her know it upset you?


Last week I felt so abandoned when my family went to town all day without me.

I'm sorry to hear that, I've felt similar before.

Yeah, I was pretty miserable until they got home, but then I felt much better.

Did they every tell you why they left without you?


My son won the spelling bee yesterday. I felt so proud of him!

That is great. Do you remember what words he had to spell?

I remember the last word was cafeteria. Which is somewhat funny because it's the word I missed when I was in my first spelling bee.

That is a pretty tough word. I am happy your son did so great. You must have been beaming.


I had been craving a burrito all day and my sweet boyfriend brought me one after work.

Yes especially burritos, but after I took a bite, I found a hair in it and lost my appetite.

Oh did you tell your boyfriend about it?


Nothing! My dog was just walking passed him!

No. I mean did you yell at the person or anything after they did it?


I wound up on the floor at Panera Bread not too long ago.

LOL Definitely slippery me! New medication with fun side effects.

Oh, been there before. Sometimes I'm given things that make me very unsteady.


There's a new Korean restaurant that's opening up.

i have never tried korean food , and i love trying different kinds of food i would be so excited

You should definitely try. You'll get addicted!

i would love to try it one day , im happy for you


summer was so boring for me, im really happy school is starting again

Why was it boring, nothing exciting to do where you live?

not really, i just stayed home all summer because my parents worked the whole summer as well as i did

Ah yeah, that sucks. No time for anything fun.


I rode on my boyfriend's motorcycle for the first time on the highway and I was a little anxious about it

Haha bikes can be very scary. Did you lean the wrong why, i did that my first time.

Yeah, I had a bad feeling about it, but he reassured me. No, I did! He has a backrest installed so I just lean back and relax!

Oh nice! He sounds like a cool dude. haha

Yeah, he totally is. He likes all that type of hardcore biker stuff.

Bike's are a lot of fun i can see why he would be into them.


Oh no, why are all the pets dying. It is so sad when that happens.

I have no idea why it's happening all at once, but I had that cat for a good long while. He was such a great cat.

I bet you will miss your feline friend. Hopefully they are in a better place now.


It was a detroit style with 3 cheeses and tomato and garlic sauce. Mmmm


I had a client meeting in Dallas, and as I was driving to the airport I heard there was going to be a lot of storms we'd be flying through. I ended up renting a car because I hate flying so much in just calm weather.

That is a lot of extra money to spen, but it is completely understandable it you are that nervous about it.  Have you ever looked into calming medications, or meditation to help your nerves?

I have, but they only cut down the anxiety instead of making it go away completely. Something about hurdling towards earth at a rapid pace in a large metal box alarms me.

I completely understand that.  My mother in law used to have really bad anxiety about flying, but she did hypnosis and it really helped.


My girlfriend seems to be distant and talking to other guys

Not yet, she's also been texting other guys as well I think

That doesn't sound too good. Has she been like this before?


This past weekend I found out a friend of mine I went to school with passed away. He had a heart attack while he slept.

that's terrible! how does that make you feel?

It makes me feel old. I mean I am not that old, but to see people my age passing away really makes me think about my own mortality.

That is the reality of life, unfortunately! That's what you have to enjoy life now.


I'm going to China to a meeting for work. I've never been without my coworkers for these kinds of things.

That sounds exciting! When are you going?

In 2 weeks. I'm excited to see China but gotta focus on work.

It's good to focus, but surely you can take a few hours to take in the culture.  China has a long and interesting history.


I have all my kids' things ready for the first day of school tomorrow!

I think I am.  I tried to do as much in advance as I could.


Do you ever hear an album and it brings you back to when you first listened to it?

Oh, all the time. What album is that for you?

I just listened to a Billy Talent album again the other day and it brought me back to high school and reminded me of the person who showed me them.

I really love that album! We will have to listen to it together sometime.


I came home from work and dog had pooped on the floor

It was gross having to clean it up.  She knew that I was not happy.  but I did not want to have to pick it up


my parents want to get me a brand new camaro !

yea they are they said since I graduated top of my class that they are going to cover it !

You have some very nice parents, when I graduated my parents said pay us more rent now.


The other day I had to take my dogs out before work, but my neighbor was right outside with her aggressive yappy dog smoking so I couldn't get out.

Eww, I hate neighbors that have no class.

She usually cares enough to at least time her cigarettes so they don't get in the way with things like work, but not this time.

Maybe you should start a petition in the neighborhood to kick her out.


There was this scary crashing boom in my garage.

Oh that is pretty terrifying! What caused it?

I thought it could have been an intruder or something, but it was a raccoon instead!


My son drove down and spent the whole weekend helping me move.

Aw, that's so nice of him! Does he live far away?

He lives about a couple hours away, but he's young and always busy. I was very relieved to have some help as it was a BIG job!

That's a great son. It's always nice to be able to rely on people close to you to help out when needed


Next week might be fun.....kinda scared though :/

Taking my neice and nephew to six flags.  I've never ridden a coaster before

That's what everyone says but they're scary.  Maybe if I try one I will like them!

We'll see LOL.  I bet the kids will call me a sissy.


I'm very happy that summer is almost over and fall is around the corner.

I used to be that way, because I love holidays and the mood it puts everyone in. But I'm starting to hate how short the fall and winter days are, and how quickly it gets dark. Now that I've been exercising outside more lately, I hate losing that time in the sun

I like the summer some, but really love the fall and winter.

I can understand that. And I live in the south, so it doesn't get that cold, so I can't really complain. I visited my girlfriend who lives in the midwest last winter, and it got under 0 at times. I could not live like that long term.


I often am gone from my home and family for days or even weeks at a time.  I work on remote locations, looking for oil and gas.

Sounds like an interesting job.  I'm sure it's taxing on the family though.

It is difficult feeling isolated.  I miss them a lot.


In order try to get a friend to break up with her jerk boyfriend, I sent him fake texts that looked like they were from another woman.

No, and it made her feel horrible because she thought that she wasn't enough for him.  In the end, it wasn't worth it.

I bet you felt really bad. Did you end up telling her the truth?


i los left my purse in the restroom at the local store, its gone

Aw, that is terrible. Hopefully you did not have much money inside. I guess the worst part is all the cards that have to be replaced. So sorry to hear this. :(

thanks, no ididnt have much money in it, had credit cards and my DL and SS card

Ouch! You know that you can replace all those cards online now. A bit easier than it used to be.


My friend asked to move into my home that I am selling and live there for free until she can find a place.

Yikes, that's a tough place to be in. She's very forward for asking something like that too.

I know shes a pretty close friend, but its still scary the thought of letting someone move in. They say dont deal with friends or family when it comes to business.

They do and you never know what could happen, let's say you guys get into a fight and then she trashes your house! Not a good outcome!


She wasn't upset because I lied and said my cat did it.

Smart thinking! Cats are always good scapegoats lol


i believe in society and the work the government is providing for us!

Where do you live?  Cause it isn't in the US.


It was my birthday and My friend sent me a birthday card with a gift card in a mail... i never got it, somebody stole it! and we actually have a cluster mailbox so only i can open it. it means that usps worker stole it

Have you tried speaking with the post office?

i did, the lady told me they can't do anything about it because it didn't have a tracking number.

That's ridiculous, they should have to do something.


MY kids are gonna take care of me when I get older. I just know it

That is a great thought! What makes you so sure?

I'm just wishing they would. I do a lot for them and I hope they appreciate it lol

I completely know the feeling. My kids are teenagers and I threaten them every day that I will move in with them when I am old and grey lol.

Lol. I should do that too. And say you still have to do what I say because I will always be the parent lol

If only that actually worked, right? lol


I had a terrifying experience what using the restroom yesterday.

As I was sitting on the toilet I kept hearing a scratching noise.  When I turned to look a huge waterbug had climbed up the tub wall next to me.

Holy moly! That would have scared me too! Did you kill it?


I was at home and last minute my dad took me to the Yankees game.

That is so thoughtful of him, did you guys catch a ball?


For sure! I work with the state so I'm trying to hang in there for the retirement.

Just try and keep a low profile and stay busy.


1 million.  I just won the lottery! I was finally able to pay my house of and my parents' house.


I remember I remember when I had my little Labrador puppy. But I had to give her away.

why? i had the same thing happening to me with my dog. is she somewhere safe though?

Yes she is safe. I was pretty young back then and already had another dog. Couldn't keep both unfortunately.

that's okay. you can always get yourself another dog.


A man was chasing after me because I did not give him money.


i wasnt happy when i had to go into work on saturday


I canceled a dinner with a old friend because I was just so tired had a long work week.

I understand! As we get older, it's hard to do it all everyday!

It is I just feel a little guilt-ridden because I told her I had an emergency instead of telling her the truth because she would have tried to talk me into still coming out.

It happens, but definitely be honest as you would want someone to be honest with you


I'm finding it super hard to move on from my last relationship.

I know how that can be such a struggle.  How long has it been and why did it end?

Thanks.  I messed it up by cheating on her.  It's been 5 months

Everyone makes mistakes, we live and learn I guess.  If there is no hope of her taking you back, then you have to find a way to move forward, but take the time you need to grieve as it is a loss.


Yeah about a kid who get kidnapped and they end up killing him. The actor is dead now too. I get sad watching this movie

Oh wow, that certainly sounds like a sad movie for sure!


My family put me in charge of the thanksgiving turkey. Everything was going right and I was so pleased as punch to be in chage.

Not good. I dropped it as I was about to serve it. The family dogs got to it almost immediately.

Oh no! How awful! Did your Thanksgiving improve?

It did but my face was so red all night.


My friend has been traveling for work, and he still manages to take care of his sick mom

That is a big burden, hope he is holding up okay

He gets stressed, but he keeps going. He's a really terrific guy.


So my friend built a deck and it turned out amazing, I didn't know he had it in him.

I think its probably about 20 feet by 25 feet? I'm bad at guessing that kind of stuff hah


i am very ready for my first semester in university!

ready for all those ice breakers? those amazing crazy party? what are you hoping to do this year?

i am really hoping i can make some good friends, and just learn about everything i don't know a lot about you know?

yeah defiantly, my best advice to you is to learn and focus on your studying and always expand in knowledge that's the one thing we seniors always wish we had done


Sat here by myself for 10 days straight. Car was in the shop being repaired

Wow that must have been frustrating.  I hope it didn't cost too much.

It did actually. Made me so mad. Now I have to save up again

I know how that is.  At least you have your car back!


i never really had thought to do this, but the other day I just grilled spur of the moment and watched the sun set with my sister. It was really nice, honestly.

That sounds pretty awesome.  What did you guys grill?  Was she over for a special occasion at all?

We grilled a couple of hotdogs and hamburgers, and we're roommates basically. It works good because I'm so used to living with her that it's a lot better than an average roommate.

I agree.  I had a cousin living with me for a while until he got on his feet.  I really preferred that over a stranger.  It sounds like you both had an awesome night!


I received a call a few months back that my dad had been taken to the ER.

Well, it turned out that he'd had a stroke.  Fortunately they gave him the clot busting medicine really fast and he's recovered completely and is back at work.

That's bad, but really good that he is fine! I am very glad for both you and him.


A friend of mine is a self-published writer. She put out 22 books this year! I can't believe how many she did.

That is wild, I wish i could write and make money.


I don't get why people feel the need to be Facebook trolls and leave nasty comments?

Pretty much they have problems in their own lives.

Yep. If people were truely happy, they wouldn't have time to troll others.


I'm sure our dance show will go well. We've practiced for months.

That's awesome. You must have trained really hard.

We totally did. Every day after work, we'd all get together and dance that routine until we were exhausted.

That's great dedication! I just know it will go well!


I was switching around the tv channels and came across a show from my childhood. It really brought back some memories.

It was on one of the channels that shows old shows. I had not seen it in years.


This new Korean barbeque place just opened up. Will be nice not to have to drive more than 30 minutes to one anymore.

It's some great stuff! That's why I used to travel for it lol.


Whenever I see Jeeps on the road, I get so envious! Such beautiful cars...

They are really nice cars! Have you driven one?

No, but I've been in my friend's Jeep and it feels like you're in a tank haha.

They are nice looking cars and I have heard are great to off road in!


His tweets are rude and ill informed and he never apologizes for anything.


A few days ago I've met a couple of people that got me feeling negative things, even though I don't even know them.

Did they say or do anything specifically to you that made you feel that way?

Not really, maybe just a bit, it's how they said it I guess.

I understand how that can make you feel a certain way. Unfortunately, there are those types of people around every corner.


Im going to Chicago in a couple weeks.  I havent been there for about 15 years so I'm really looking forward to it.

oh nice! i know that feeling, is it home? what made you think about going there?

It isnt home but I went there for family trips when I was younger. My girlfriends friend is having a baby shower and lives there so I'm tagging along and were going to make a long weekend out of it!

nice! hope you enjoy your weekend and make sure to make the most out of it!


I ate at a Korean restaurant for my birthday and the food was delicious.

There is a Korean restaurant by my house that I've been thinking of trying. I've never had Korean food.

I love Korean barbeque, specifically grilled beef with rice. You should definitely try it!

That sounds delicious! Now my stomach is growling!


I forgot about my grandmother's birthday a couple years back. I felt so bad about it!

Oh no! It happens to the best of us :) Have you talked to her about it when you remembered?

Absolutely! I called her the next day and made sure to visit her. :)

Awww I'm sure she completely understood and really appreciated you reaching out and going to visit her!


Yesterday, I wanted to cook something new for the first time, so I looked up this steak recipe and it went really well!

congrats!  i love love love steak and to cook

yeah! i'm just getting into it right now, could you recommend me some stuff to cook?

i love to make shredded bbq chicken sandwich, get chicken breast seasone place in crack pot


I just remember laughing and running on summer days with my friends

Yes, do you ever remember playing in the ocean?


i was impressed by my nephews performance at his little league baseball game

they won the game and he played really well


My daughter needed a computer for school and we were trying to figure out which one to buy and how much we could spend.

Well, in the midst of trying to figure it out, my dad called and said he had a Surface Pro that he didn't use.  So he gave it to her and it was a huge blessing to our family.

That is really good timing! I think dads have that instinct when their children need help.


This is an important time for our family because our son is applying for colleges this year. We're all nervous!

It's a great stage in your life, what is he majoring in?

Most likely he will study finance. His grades are good but not the best, so we just don't know what to expect.


I think my cat likes my new girlfriend more than he likes me now.

I've had that happen before. My cat is definitely more my wife's cat now. Does he still cuddle up with you?

Yea he loves to sit on my lap while i work, but prefers her side of the bed now when he sleeps.

Haha, same for me. It's like as soon as my wife is available to sit or lay with, I'm chopped liver.


My daughter rides horses as a pasttime and was in her first dressage show a few weeks ago.

Well, the first showing I think she was nervous and she placed 7th - but then in the second showing she placed 2nd out of 43 riders!

That is amazing! You must feel pretty proud of her.


I came home from work and my fish was dead

that's sad news, i am sorry for this news you must have been extra drained after coming back from work from that news


I took credit for some work that wasn't mine. My coworker has not found out yet.

I don't know.  I feel really bad.  Should I fess up?


my favorite pair of shorts are ruined, thanks to an overtrusted fart

Oh no! Was you at least at home when that happened?

I bet that was embarrassing. Was you drunk?


Watching my daughters play volley ball with their team makes me remember all the games I played in with my friends.

The memories are awesome and I miss playing.But I wouldn't trade the life I live now to go back,

you know today's events are tomorrow's memories


Everyone is gone for the night. I haven't been alone at night in forever

Stay with my sister for a sleepover. Im a litlle scared. ITs so quiet

It takes some getting used especially since you haven't been alone in a while.


i cant wait until tomorrow. i get to see my favorite band korn play

I didn't know they still toured. I saw Korn years ago.

yes they are still out there. listening to them takes me back to the good high schoo days


Nice.  I grew up as a Redskin fan and hate the cowboys

needless to say im a lifelong eagles fan since last year!


Super upset with a company I thought was trustworthy.

Why what did they do to betray your trust?

Well I looked up reviews..I didn't see anything bad in my FB groups about them either..and they decided to charge me early and didn't want to refund me!

I would be so mad I dislike when company's charge my card did you call to get a refund for the charge?

They had NO number, support was super rude but finally refunded me..not without a lot of threats though :/

I would make a complaint and try contacting the BBB that is so unfair or even get your bank to dispute the charge.


I am supposed to be moving in with my boyfriend next month.

Congradulations. Is this your first time moving in with a boyfriend?

It is, but I keep wondering if it's the right choice.


"I am grateful for my family, they mean the world to me

Blood's thicker than water, whether you like it or not

That is true, I appreciate them for sure though


My neighbor used to have an old beagle - a lovely pooch. He died of cancer just before Thanksgiving. I looked for him for weeks - I miss him.

That's so sad.  I've lost dogs before.  I know how you feel :(

Yeah. I used to see him when I was out on my porch and he'd come out for a sniff around or a tinkle. He was so sweet and gentle.

They sure are. I actually prefer them to some humans I know! Do you have a dog at the moment?

Yes I've got one.  She's a stray that showed up to work one day.

That's wonderful, that you were able to take her in. Good for you! More people should act like that.

She's been a great dog. I've got no complaints or regrets.


I came home expecting an empty apartment, but my boyfriend had come home a day early from his trip!


i was so stressed when i found out that i did not get accepted in my dream college

Oh no. Did you have a good backup plan ?

yeah i got into another college that was not as good haha


I feel good. Everything finally seems to be working out.

That's great! What are some things you're enjoying about life right now?

Finally having a steady job and no work on weekends lol

Oh man, having weekends off is such a deal breaker for me too.


That will be a nice change of pace! Do you have plans for retirement?


I am excited for the new Spider-man movie. It comes out October 5th and it has one of my favorite actors, Tom Hardy!

He is. And he is nice to look at too lol


We go to Florida for vacation!  So pumped!!


I asked my friend to get some stuff for a party, I knew I could count on him though.

How many people are you expecting? I hope he pulls through.

About 50 people roughly, I have no doubt he will pull through though.

Wow that sounds like a big shindig! I bet everyone is going to have a great time, good for you!


I had such a nice dinner, I still feel nice and full!

Lasagna and lots and lots of garlic bread

Oh man that's my favorite! Did you bring home a doggy bag to eat later?


I went to a restaurant yesterday for dinner and it was pretty good.

That is nice. Did you know the restaurant before going there?

I did, it is one of my favorites.  The great part was that I ended up getting the meal for free because of their rewards program.  I didn't even know I had any points.


Sorry to hear that. What were you upset about?

A C is not too bad. I know how you feel, I hold myself to a very high standard as well. It could have been much worse though!


My dog has cancer, and he's starting to walk around really slowly.

So sorry, that must be devastating for you.

Yeah it's tough to kind of see him on his last leg.


I haven't made a home cooked meal in a long time.

Oh, that's a shame - cooking's such fun. Why did you stop cooking?

I know. Just been busy. I ordered take out like every day last week.

Gosh, I couldn't afford to do that! It's far cheaper for me to cook up a big pot of stew or something and freeze it for busy days.

I should do that. Im losing money like crazy

That stuff's hard to come by! It's so easy to chuck stuff in a pot and then go watch tv or do something else for a couple of hours. Tastes better, too!

I am going to look up some recipes then. I never use my slow cooker.

I wish I had a slow cooker. Or one of those Instant Pots everyone's raving about.


My youngest child started high school this year. It really made me think back to her starting kindergarten, and how time really goes by. I can just see her learning to read!

It is so hard and so rewarding to see them grow up.

Yes, it really is bittersweet. But, the older they get, the easier it is to think back to the younger days!

I bet.  I really want to hold on to mine forever, but I know that they need to grow up.  I hope you are still able to make memories with yours even as they are getting older.


I got a promotion at work! I'm so excited!


This was my first time winning a contest on the raido!

Thanks! I will get to go free to the Taylor Swift concert tonight!

No way! That's actually a super awesome prize! Have fun


my husband and i have such a great relationship i am so thankful for it!

Not anymore, but it is so great to hear that it is possible to find happiness!


I really enjoy looking after defenseless animals. All of our cats are rescues!

It sounds like you have a lot of animals!

Not too many.  3 cats.  We just like to help them as much as we can and give them a good life.


I dropped their anniversary cake when bringin it in. IT was everywhere

It happens, you can't beat yourself up about it, it was an accident!


So tonight I am seeing my favorite band for the first time ever. I have been a big fan for a while now.

Awesome, do you plan to go early to try and get autographs?

I am so pumped up. I would love to do that. Great idea.

Enjoy yourself, if I may, refrain from recording it on your phone, just be in the moment!


tomorrow is my first university day and i'm very nervous

its not so bad, it can be intimidating but you just need to figure out the campus layout and classes but its very smooth from there

i hope i won't get lost but i'm so bad with that, i always get lost.

once you figure the way it just becomes routine


I'm torn up, my dog had to be put down today because of old age

Oh my Gosh. I am sorry. that can be really tough.

Yeah, he was a great dog, but he lived a very good life so that's a positive, I guess.

Thats the most important thing. I bet he wants you to move on and be happy.


No, I love Christmas, but my son will be born.


I have a friend with loaded parents. She doesn't work but has anything she wants anytime she wants.

Wow, must be nice. My parents were really poor- still are.

Mine aren't poor but they aren't loaded. They struggle. Same for me. I work my butt of for what I have.

Yeah me too. I like that though, I like earning my way.

Same. I do wish I had a little bit more money to do a few more things though.

I often dream about winning the lottery!


I have been craving ice cream for weeks and finally went to the store to get some only to find out they didnt have the kind I wanted!

NOOOO! I've been there, and I feel your pain! What kind were you trying to get?

Chocolate peanut butter - haagen dazz brand. ( spelling probably wrong there! )

That sounds delicious and I'm going to have to try that! My personal favorite is Ben & Jerry's Phish Food. Now I want some.


I just received my certification to teach english as a second language!

Congrats!!! Do you already have a job lined up?

Yes.  I will be teaching children from Asia.


My neighbor just bought a new apple computer.

He must have saved up quite a bit for that. They're pretty expensive

Definitely.  I'm more a "buy the cheapest computer" type person, but I tried his out and it was really  nice.

Being frugal is always a benefit in the long run. I suggest doing online surveys to make some extra cash  ;)


I am so funny. People say I should go into comedy. They also say I might be the next Rodney Dangerfield!

i don't think i know who Rodney Dangerfield is but hey, good for you! it's awesome when people have a good sense of humor

He is probably one of the greatest comedians of all time. His signature phrase was "I don't get no respect"

I need to google him. I've never even heard that phrase lol


I was born in the Philippines and living in America makes me value my heritage even more.

That is interesting, what things do you do while living in America to keep your heritage alive?

I read a lot of books and try to find other Filipinos to hang out with which is pretty hard

I would imagine that might be difficult, perhaps there are some online social groups you could join as well?


i lost my wallet but someone returned it

I'm sure you were, money is good to have.


I haven't slept in 3 days, yet don't feel tired.


MY best friend and I have worked together for ten years.

Wow thats a long time to work together did yall meet at work?

We did. Now she is leaving and moving away


My car broke down yesterday and the mechanics say it might be the transmission :(

Oh no! Sorry to hear that. How are you planning to get it fixed?

Well, I'd have to dip into savings to finance a new car...but that's rough right now when I'm moving apartments

Ah, I see. Well I hope you figure it out soon. You need a way to get around town!


Hi, I booked a 5 star hotel for my vacation and there were roaches in the hotel room :(

That sounds terrible. I would expect nothing less for a presumably high cost hotel.

I agree, I complained to the management and they gave me a new upgraded room.

That's good but should also be standard for any hotel, nevertheless a 5 star one. How was the new room?


It was my 40th birthday and my coworkers threw me a party. I had no idea!

That is awesome that you have such friendly coworkers!

I do. I was so surprised they did something so nice for me.

Make sure you give each of them a thank you card


I took a helicopter ride for a date one time and the helicopter malfunctioned.

We ended up being okay. We had to do an emergency landing.


i feel heartbroken whenever memories of my brother pops into my head


Today when I went into my roommate's office to fix the internet, I noticed the collar of his old cat that passed away. I miss her.

I am so sorry to hear that. We need memories of our fur babies to help us in our grief.

Yeah, she wasn't my favorite cat, but I still miss her. Cancer sucks.

People do not realize that Animals can get cancer too.  Its more common than we may think.


We went camping one weekend and I packed everything.

Nice, I usually forget a thing or two. Did you get everything you needed?

I always make sure to get everything needed.


My dog loves to hide whenever she has to poop or pee. So I always find hidden treasures around my apartment and boy is it gross!

It's always a surprise haha. I call the poop le shrimp because it curves like a shrimp scallop scampi. Oh baby!

Omg. You should take your dog to an obedience school.


My friends are late to plans all the time.

That must be really annoying! What were they late to this time?

Just an evening beach plan. They were nearly 4 hours late this time.

4 hours late! Totally unacceptable! But hey, at least you live near a beach.


I couldn't afford my textbook, and my roomie made copies of the pages for me.

That is a great friend as well. I hope you all have a long lasting relationship


I was saying goodbye to all of my friends like I would never see them again.

It was the last day of school, It was such a bittersweet moment.


It was just cheese and tomato, but it was Detroit style - so it had a cheesy chewy crust and teh sauce is on top of the cheese. I was really impressed with myself!


My father passed away about 2 years ago. It was so very difficult for me and very unexpected. We didn't know he had a life-threatening illness and weren't prepared in any way for his sudden departure from us.

I'm very sorry to hear that.  Losing anyone close to you, especially a parent would be very hard.  Are you close to other members of your family and were you able to help each other through it?

Yes, my family and I are close and we were there for each other. But, my sister had passed away around 6 years before, by committed suicide. The last few years have been very difficult.

I bet it has.  Keep sticking by with your family.  I'm sure you are all there for each other more than you know.


It's for university, I got a good feeling personally, just want to get started.


I get sentimental about my family, they mean a lot to me and I do not know what I would do without them

I feel the same way. Everyone isn't as fortunate to have family.

That is true, many people take it for granted

I learned a long time ago how important family is and now I have my own.

That is awesome to hear, appreciate them for what they are!


I found out my storage unit burned down and I had lost several irreplaceable items

Was the fire set by someone or an accident?

It was an accident at the storage faciltiy


That's great! What makes you so confident?

Well that awesome to hear! I hope you do get it soon!


I finally tough my new little puppy his first trick!

I tought him to sit for a treat, its so cute.

That is good, do you plan to teach him more tricks?


My friend died in a car accident recently.

Oh no!!  That is awful.  I hope you are okay :(

I bet.  Nothing is worse than losing a friend suddenly like that.   Keep your head up, friend.


Is it physical? If you need anything let me know.


I am constantly finding plates with food or grease still on them.

That is annoying!  Is someone in your house not doing there job cleaning after themselves.

No, they think they are but I guess they are lazy and don't use soap on their dishes or will just dust the plate off and put it in the drain! lol

That is no good.  What are you going to do about it?


My father passed away. He left me his favorite watch. I like to wear it often to serve as a reminder of how great he was.

Thats amazing,  I am sorry for your loss, But atleast you have a constant reminder of him.

Yea it sort of makes me happy when I wear it. I can still see him getting dressed in the morning and putting that watch on.

Thats so sweet.  He is probably looking down happy you are wearing it!


I found out recently that my school processed my financial aid paperwork improperly. So I won't be able to attend school this semester.

Oh no. That happened to my sister last year. We were able to work out a plan, but she had to get a loan temporarily.

I recently had to declare bankruptcy, so that unfortunately isn't an option for me.

That's no fun, but I hope everything works out for next semester.


It is a big change. What is scaring you?

I hate bugs too. You should exterminate before you move in


We are going to Six Flags this weekend and my kids want me to ride the roller coaster with them.

Sounds like found!   Are you scared of roller coasters?  I love them!

I'm really hesitant to get on. It's been a long time since I've ridden one and I don't think I'm going to like it at all


Lifes good right now got a good paying job , all bills getting payed, not late on anything plus money on the side to go out , i am just overall happy in life right now

Man, I'm jealous! I'm still a college student, barely paying rent! And nothing but student loans to look forward to. I probably should have taken your path in life. Not to say you haven't worked very hard for it, because I'm sure you have.

I am sure you will do well eventually , just keep setting goals an surpassing them , once u pass your goals , create new goals and keep winning in life !!!

Hey I really appreciate that advice. I need to take it. I'm horrible at setting goals. I just move in a general direction. I need to break things down step by step. We'll see how it goes.


My son just started to take his first steps.

Wow! That's amazing. I remember when mine started. It's off to the races soon!

That is the truth, we will be chasing him soon.


On Friday I'm having my daughter, I am so nervous!

I think you will do fine! You will be in love at first sight for your!


I had yet another death in my family. This year has been the worst.

im sorry, theres nothing worse than that. i hope you're doing okay

I don't know. I feel pretty horrible. I feel like not going to work or anything.

im sorry. it eventually gets better though


Public speeches always get me. It makes me very nervous and I just can't do them.

I feel the same way. I have social anxiety so standing in front of a crowd is pretty terrifying.

I will start speaking gibberish and sweat bad. Not only that but my face turns so red!!!

Oh man! Just stay confident! You have to keep the negative thoughts in the back of your mind.


I feel like I can handle myself in a street fight if I've been sparring at least 2 days a week in the gym.

What techniques have you learned so far though?

I've dabbled in Jiu Jitsu but most of my sparring is boxing/standup

I think you will do pretty well then in a street fight.


I'm really looking forward to starting my new semester next week.

You want to start school back up?  What are you going for?

I'm getting a masters in education. Yeah, I feel like summer break has been good but it's time to get back on it.

I bet that is a lot of work!  Do you already teach?


My friend was telling me about teaching jobs to apply for. I didn't get hired, but she got one right off the bat!

It sounds like you're happy for her, which is commendable given you didn't get hired. Were you very disappointed?

I was kind of envious that she got the job and I didn't because it seemed like I was more qualified than she was.

That's always tough. It's so hard to tell what other factors come into play in situations like that. Are you happy where you're currently at, or still looking?


I let my daughter take my credit card to the mall today for school clothes shopping.

Oh wow! I would have been scared to let mine do such a thing.

I have faith that she did not spend more than I told her she could.

That's good to hear. She must have a lot of your trust, sounds like a bright young lady!


My son just took his first steps, I am so excited.


Hello friend, I am feeling very nervous!

well you know we are going on a trip soon but we have to rely on someone else for our transportation, so I am nervous about trusting that person to not leave us hanging.

Is the person someone you know well, a long time friend, a family member?

My brother, but he is not very trustworthy. Guess I am just very nervous about the whole thing

I would talk to your brother and let him know how concerned you are and ask him for reassurance


I woke up this morning to find that my dog pooped on my brand new rug!

Oh no! Not the old pop on the rug trick. Did you yell?

It was too late. He did know I was mad at him. I could tell he knew he did wrong.

What kind of dog? I have a boston terrier. She's the cutest.

Aww I like those. He is a little shitzu.


MY new neighbors have been making so much noise moving in

Not yet. They have been moving in for weeks and only at night. Its horrible

That sounds rough, sorry to hear about that!


I ordered a half pound of turkey at the deli. That is not what I got.

I got some weird cajun roast beef. I didn't even notice until I was gonna make sandwiches.

oh wow.. thats horrible.. our butcher gives you a sample before slicing.. i find this the best way to verify


Whoa! That's incredible! I've never even been out of the country. Who are you going with again?


i really wanted to hit the lottery when it was over 500 million!

What would you have done with the money?

First i would have taken care of my parents, they deserve it

Good for you, you have your priorities straight!


I haven't slept well this week at all. The county has been drilling outside my house for 12 hours a day.

Well that stinks.  What are they drilling for?

They're ripping up the road to just re-do. I'm not saying it's unnecessary but it's sure driving me nutty!


"I have a hard time eating, I am allergic to so much! It gives me a lot of mixed feelings when thinking of eating.

Oh I know that feeling. What are some of the things that you can eat?

I am not sure! lol- I seem to be allergic to pesticides so any unorganic food, artificial flavors, colors, dairy, meat, gluten, sugar :/ I just never know how I will feel after I eat and what the issue is so it's hard! I need to get an allergy test done soon. I eat so plain..and even that seems to hurt me.

It has to be tough to not know what to eat. I hope you'll get that allergy test soon to figure things out.


On my way to work today, some guy just cut me off in his car. Can you believe that?

Wow, some people are horrible drivers.  Did you honk at him?

Yes I did, I let him know he needed to at least use his indicators. He didn't even signal!

At least you didn't get into an accident.  I guess it could have been a lot worse.


Once I saw 2 men playing basketball and one of them hit a long range 3 pointer

That's pretty cool! Was it a professional game?

No it was a pickup game but the one who it the shot is playing college basketball. Hopefully he can get me some tickets

Sounds like he's a good player! You should ask him for some tickets!


Once I got a big gift in my mail. It was from an anonymous person. I never found out who gave it to me.

It was a stuffed teddy bear. it was cute.

What a neat mystery. I bet you wish you could thank them though.


In the fall, i had a week off and I didn't make any plans because I was pretty broke. My oldest and best childhood friend flew in from where they live in Europe to spend the week with me- they didn't tell me they were coming. It was wonderful!

The best part was just seeing each other- it has been five years. We didn't really do much, all our time was spent chatting.


I had to trust that my boyfriend would be where he said he would be after boot camp. He wasn't allowed to use his phone until after the ceremony, so I waited patiently for him in a crowd of people.

You are such a good and patient person,you must really love him

I am such a lucky guy to have a friend like you


I remember when fast food used to be really cheap.

Yes, and you didn't have to always buy items for the extra value menu.

Absolutely! Those were the good old days.

Those are the good old days. Have to use coupons these days!


Yes, I cried for weeks when I found out.

I'm sorry, maybe they will get back together.


I never win anything but took a chance on buying a few lottery tickets the and I won $50,000!

Wow, that must have made you feel so good about yourself.

Considering I never win, it made it even more awesome, yes!

It's such a great joy to win something. I hope your luck continues.


I don't think there is anything wrong with average.

We are all average until circumstances require us to be extraordinary.


I suppose to be on a committed diet but I kind of cheated today.

Well, I can understand that. It's very hard to be on a very strict diet, without a break here and now!

It is my coworkers said they was going to Burger King and I couldn't resist I feel so bad and guilty.

Well, i am sure you are disappointed, but all you can do now is just get back on the diet again and try to be more dedicated. It's hard, I know!


Last week we had a fire start in our bathroom.

Oh no! Is everything okay? What happened?

I don't know how it started, but luckily I had just bought a fire extinguisher for the first time in my life, and had changed the fire alarm batteries.  Very fortunate.

Wow, that first-time fire extinguisher purchase and replacement of the fire alarm batteries was definitely a blessing.


I ran into my husband's car in the driveway today but lied about it/

There was but I blamed a random kid riding his bike on it. I feel terrible for doing it,

I feel ya. It's important to have honesty in the relationship.


I am so happy that I have finally gotten a head start on being organized to teach this year

Thank you. There is so much to do when you are teaching multiple grades


I have a great job that allows me to stay at home

I could only dream of having that. That must be nice.

I wish my company would allow me to do that.


I have a big job interview coming up. I am so nervous I almost dont want to go. Its kind of scary to think about.

i get that, I have one coming up as well

I dont know what to do. My nerves are really bad.

just stay calm and collected, talk slowly, gather your thought


What kind are you looking for? I don't know about you, but I hate car shopping!

I am trying to find something that is easy on the gas and affordable


i hate being around negative people and situations

I do too! Have you had a specific situation lately?

yes, work has been really negative lately

That sucks. You can't really get away from that situation. Maybe look for a new job?


One of my friends jumped from the roof of his house to the pool and somehow made it, it was like 10+ feet of distance, really amazing stuff.

Yeah i was really nervous that he was gonna get hurt since he likes to do stupid dares. It was quite the experience.


i cant wait to visit my family back home they are so far away i dont get to see them a lo

in a couple of weeks i am really happy to see them it has been 5 years

Wow, I hope you have a really nice trip.


Yes. I think someone took her. Im so worried.

Have you put out signs? contacted the animal shelter?


I can't wait for the release of the new Super Smash Brothers game.

That is a really fun game.  I wonder how they will make it better than the original.

Well I hope they will find a good way because I don't want it to be similar to Smash 4.

There is nothing worse than spending big money on a game it's no good.


I recently tried my luck with online dating

I met this girl, we really hit it off.  we are going out for drinks on saturday.  i think it is going to go well


I lied to one of my friends, and I feel bad about it. I just  dont know how to tell her the truth.

Just tell her? She will be grateful for the honesty.

Ugh... shes literally about to get married and her boyfriend has been cheating on her. I am scared to even bring it up.

Dang, that's rough. I wouldn't know what to do either. It's like you choose to be a good friend and destroy their marriage or let her get married so she's happy. Goodl uck


There's a new hotel that's been headhunting me to work for them, but I think I'll stay at the one I'm at now. They've been good to me.

I'd probably stay loyal too, after weighing the pros and cons, making a list for myself.

Yea. It's a tough choice, but I'm happy where I am.

good for you, wish i could say the same for myself. I'm not unhappy, just got more work to do.


My husband convinced me that it was a good move.

Changing jobs after 16 years at one place.

Oh wow that is a long time. Why did you change your job?


I'm glad to have a lot of work to keep me busy


Recently my grandma passed away.  she lived pretty far from us most of our lives but at the end she had Alzheimer and so we moved her down to be near us

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope she passed peacefully.

Yes, it seemed so.  I really had fun reconnecting with her as an adult, so it was really hard when she passed.

I am sure she appreciated your visit before her passing. She must have felt loved.


When we were kids, my older sister pretended to abandon me at the mall because I was being a brat.

Oh no, I had a older cousin who did that to me as well. Hopefully she was just giving you tough love or discipline.

Yeah, I definitely deserved it LOL.  I never acted like that again with her!

Yeah it really teaches you! I would always sit down where i was and start crying.


I tripped and fell face first at a bar last night.

Yep, my pride might be a little brusied though.

Well, just never go back to that bar and make all new friends!


I'm in a great mood, it's almost the weekend!

That's really exciting! Do you have any special plans for this weekend?

Well that does sound like a restful and relaxing weekend. I love traveling on my off time!


I love buffets. What kind of food did they have?

It was seafood night. I dropped my plate in the middle of the food area. It was terrible.

It happens to the best of us. At least you were able to get more since it was a buffet.


I took my trash out a minute ago in the dark barefoot and wouldn't you know I stepped in dog poop!

Ugh yes and it went all up between my toes and everything. So gross. I tried to wipe it off in the grass but it just made it worse.

That is gross, did you get a bath or a shower?


That is awesome!  I would love to get something like that from a relative!  Does it have any sentimental value?

Yes, It goes with the rest of the stuff.    It's a rifle he hunted with, and my father hunted with.  Now I've got it.

That was so nice that your were chosen to get it and hopefully pass it on again!


Just moved here for work, and I don't know anyone. My coworkers have families of their own.

That's sucks. You just have to warm up to people.

Yea. It's going to take some time. It's just tough going through it right now.

I would be so scared to move to a new place. I commend you. It'll get better


Each week I look forward to one day and one day only.

Friday! Fridays are what get us all through the rest of the week


I saw on the news where someone escaped from the local jail and is still on the loose.

Yes, it's about 10 miles or so away from my neighborhood, so it has be a bit freaked out.

Well make sure you stay inside and lock your doors and windows and don't answer your door!


My son had been working so hard practicing for his guitar solo in the concert.

When and where is his first solo concert?

It was at his school. He did great. I was blown away!

Fantastic, I imagine you must be so proud.


Its so quiet in my house, my husband is out of town for work.

Hey I like alone time!  Just gotta find some cool stuff to do!

True, I'm trying but keep hearing creepy noises. Guess I need to turn the TV up louder haha

oh no!!  The ghosts are coming!! Yeah turn the TV up LOUD :D


I have this feeling that I shouldn't drive my car again until I can get new brakes put on.

I don't think anything is wrong in particular, but I have this feeling that something bad could happen if I drive it

You can always stop at a shop and have someone check it out


I won a $100 pizza hut gift card. It's a meager winning, but hey, pizza!

Nope. I intend to spread out using it. Maybe $10 every other weekend or so.


My children have started a new year at school.

There are two girls, they are ready to go, I'm the one that's nervous.


My neighbor bought a new porsche. I envy him so much.

No, that is also a problem. It is not clear what is job. I don't understand how he manage to have that much money.

Hopefully he  has worked hard for it. I'm sorry you have to deal with that


When I was younger I was playing basketball and I accidentally hit my sister as she was walking by.

Yeah she was fine. I made sure to apologize several times after.

That is good, I'm glad she was okay. I once got hit in the face with one, so I know it can sting.


I do not know if I will get a positive or negative review. I do not ever look forward to these things!

What type of review are you looking for?

It is my annual review for work. My performance review.

Oh that would be nerve wracking! Good Luck!


I cant believe that I won $100 on a scratch off ticket. I think I am going to buy a new pair of shoes with it. I cant wait to go cash it in.

I was super pumped up. I cant wait to go get those shoes after work today.

I wouldnt even know what to do with an extra $100


I've been waiting a long time for our church to be able to hire me on as the admin.  I'm doing it as a volunteer now.

Well, it's getting a bit irritating.  I think that some of the  higher ups think I'll just keep doing it, so I kinda feel taken advantage of.

They will promote you someday, don't give up.


My wife went on a business trip for two weeks. At first I thought it'd be awesome to have the house to myself, but I'm starting to miss her now.

Aw, that's never fun.  My husband used to travel all the time for work and it was so lonely.  I'm glad she won't be gone too long.  I took advantage of the times he was gone to clean and organize and fix things to surprise him when he returned.

Yeah, this first week was pretty productive, actually. I fixed a few things around the house and then just relaxed. But now the fun is over and my emotions are getting to me. But hey, not long left to wait!

Wow, you're on top of things! Being apart does make the heart grow fonder. :) Make (or carry out) her a romantic dinner when she gets back. Go out with a friend while she's gone!


I got new neighbors recently. I wanted to do something nice so I baked a meatloaf for them. The problem is it smelled so good I had to try it first.

Haha that's not a problem! You must be a good cook!

Yeah well it becomes a problem when I keep eating a little more until it is half gone. Now I have to bake another one! I felt so bad.

Hahaha that's funny. Sorry but i find that hilarious.


We went on our vacation about a week ago to the beach and it rained several days while we were there. We wanted to go to the beach every day!

I hate when that happens! Especially when you have been waiting for the beach!

Yes, and when you pay a fortune to get beachfront! But, we still had a good time, just wished we could have had less rain!

That's what matters most, that you had a good time and made memories!


The mechanic who came to fix our air conditioner overcharged us by $200

Who would I report him to? I did write a bad Yelp review.

Well thats what I mean. I hate when people take advantage of others


I am hopeful for the new pokemon game, I think it could be good!

I think I haven't play pokemon since Gameboy. What will this new one be about?


Going to the store today was a bit hard.

It was? What made it hard specifically? Hopefully nothing too bad happened.

Not too bad! I do not like big stores or being around people sometimes but you still have to run errands. I just swallow the panic on those days as best as I can.

Yeah, I'm with you. I hate going to especially Walmart, because it's so freaking crowded all the time. It's a hassle getting even the shortest shopping list. But I'm on a budget and it's where I have to go.

Try the big A store online as it is cheaper then walmart a lot. Do you know you can get pickup also at walmart for free? Helps if you don't want to shop there. I feel you on that- I don't like big stores especially!

Thanks for the awesome tip. I appreciate you trying to think of an alternative for me! I'll give it a look.
