I always try to stay positive no matter what.'

I like that philosophy. Here lately, has it been easier or harder to stay positive?

Let's put it that way, even when it's harder I still remain positive.

I like that, how long have you felt this way about life?


Well I had to go to the store yesterday but I was all muddy. It made me quite anxious. I didn't have a choice as my power went out and I didn't have much clean.

we are too hard on ourselves! we really shouldnt care what others think but i would have felt the same

I usually do not but boy I hate it when my clothes are not clean and I'm not clean. I try not to let it get to me..but I just feel gross! lol

im the same! give people a look when they look at you maybe some crazy eyes! lol


Aiming to have my first amateur fight this year and my first pro fight by next year at the earliest, fingers crossed

Wow good luck, I'm a big fan of watching MMA myself.

Thanks! I actually box..quite different but the nerves and adrenaline rushes are the same lol

Oh oops, my fault for assuming. Definitely an intense experience either way as you said.


Just made the team at my local school, I'm happy.

Thank you! It's baseball and I worked hard,

That must feel really good. I bet your parents are proud!


I refinished the concrete slab before erecting a new screened in lanai.

Very good. You must be handy around the house - I'm useless! Lanais are wonderful - and necessary in many places!

Yes, I am a bit handy and our old lanai was small and needed an update. I wanted to stain the concrete with an acid wash to be the last time I would need to deal with it.

Smart move. Wish I could do stuff like that. You should be very proud of yourself :)

Yes, I am kinda proud of it. I watched YouTube videos and used my prior concrete experience and I must say the result was pretty awesome. Totally Happy with it.

I think you should take the rest of the day of and relax in your new lanai. You can sit and bask in the glory of a job well done!


One time I tripped over nothing and landed on my face

Ouch. I actually have done that before too though...

I'm so clumsy, my balance is just terrible sometimes

It's embarrassing in the moment, but I think there are more clumsy people all around us.


My car broke down on a busy highway the other day. There were so many cars zooming past me, it was scary!

that is very scary, how did you get home

My brother had to pick me up. He had to pull up behind me on the curb. It felt dangerous!

that is dangerous, glad that both of your are okay


my neighbors had a party last night, so freaking annoying! I could barely sleep. I went to talk to them but they didn't care

You should've called the police if they didn't listen to you

I did call police later on. I didn't wanna do it but i had no choice


Im glad i'll be able to leave from work on time today

thats great, are you usually not able to?

work just starts to stack towards the end of the day


I heard on the radio that Beyonce will be performing in my city soon.

Yes I have enjoyed her music over the years and I like to attend her concerts as well when I can.

That msut be exciting then, I hope the tickets aren't too expensive.


I can't wait for saturday! We're going on a little family adventure

We're driving a few hours away to the beach

That sounds like fun! Beach days are the best days!


My vacation is coming up, just thinking about it makes me happy!!

Hey that's awesome!  Where are you going for vacation??

Oh I'm so jealous!  I bet that place is beautiful!!


I had such a good moment yesterday...my son spoke his first word!

I cried so hard...can you believe that his first word was "sea cucumber"? Couldn't believe it!

Your kid should be on America's got Talent! unless you're not in america.


Hi, I have a co work always asking me questions about how to use her mobile. It is almost always the same questions.

It must be so frustrating to have to answer the same thing over and over. Is she older?

Yes, she is. She is telling that all the cell phone that she has been using have deleting her contacts.

My aunt does the same thing! I think what she is doing is accidentally deleting texts, and she doesn't understand how to check her contacts list. What do you think is happening with your co-worker?


I never thought I would be where I am today. If you would have told me I would go back to school at 27, I would have thought you were crazy.

I had always wanted to be an electrical engineer, but had settled for life in the service industry (not knocking it). I re-taught myself basic algebra, and was accepted to a state university two years ago!


Must be nice!  Do you think he will let you ride it?

Probably, but I am really envious of him.

I would be too, those things are really nice.


My friend is taking 18 credit hours this semester

oh wow.. do you think they can handle it?

I hope so. I know she's trying to save on tuition by doing this.

thats a good idea then if she can manage it


I was able to achieve my diet goals finally. It has been one year that I am on diet.

Congratulations on making a plan and sticking with it. What kind of diet are you doing?

I wanted to loose weight. I proud of myself to have finally acheived my goals.

You can do anything (realistically) as long as you stay consistent and take it one day at a time!


one time i got to work and my manager said where have you been , i didnt think much of it i said in bed relaxing , shes like your late 3 hours i guess i wrote my squedule wrong, it felt so bad

Hey, honest mistake. Obviously you didn't come up with some dumb lie and make it seem like they made the mistake and not you. You owned up to it. I'm sure they appreciate that more than you would figure.

my manager laughed and said dangit man get to work , lol thanks for your input it made me smile

I'm glad! It's the honest truth. Everyone screws up. And I bet it will motivate you to never make that mistake again, too. So in the end, they have someone who's sharper about things. Good to hear it worked out in your favor.


I am an ESL teacher and one of my 3 year old students came to school singing an entire song all about the planets. It was so cute!

Awe, I bet you felt so proud and happy for them.

Yeah, it was a really special moment for me. Little kids that age are so cute!

I know, they can be amazing when they are learning and exploring the world... however, I still don't think having a different colored cup than the one they wanted warrants the response they tend to give. ( I have a 2 year old and a 3 year old son)

Haha, I know that argument well. I teach some preschool/pre-k kids and they can definitely be a handful!

I agree. I am still trying to figure out why they fight so much over Blippi and Peppa pig! They are both horrible, just pick one and get it over with.  I will be miserable through both, lol


I am very disappointed at the way the political discourse in our country is going. The major parties are so openly hostile toward each other

I agreee, and I see no point in it, This is all our country we are all one here, why fight.

To be honest, my disappointment during this last year has piled up to a level that my future hopes for our politics seems bleak

very bleak, maybe we will have some sort of saving grace candidate.


Back when I was in the Navy, I hated studying for promotion tests, so you can imagine my reaction when I got selected.

I must have been, because I always was promoted the first time I was eligible!


This week again I forgot to call lawn mowers again. The grass is now high and my residential administration has already sent me a warning notice

you ever cut it yourself ? or is it too big of a yard?

I do not cut myself. I generally the service provider for it. The yard is not that big though. I think I should learn doing it myself

yea sometimes its relaxing to be out there cutting the grass by yourself


I am worried I will not be able to go to my fathers birthday party.

I have a big meeting for my job. It may go later than expected which means I can't go to the birthday party.


I sold some stuff I didnt need last week.

Yea, enought to have great weekened anyway.


the other day i saw a preview of my favorite game remake , resident evil two i was super hyped just remembering the old game

Oh yeah? I was a little too young to be playing that game when it came out. My stepdad had the first one though.

the first one was really good too, i liked mostly all of them to be honest

I only played the fourth one. All I remember was "Leon!!!"


sometimes i just wish i could be a hermit and never deal with people

Man, are you me? People been annoying lately?

Yes!! Try to walk through walmart, people are so rude!

Here I was hoping a Walmart would open in my area. Guess it's a good thing there isn't one.


I made an artistic creation that took me a long time and i finally had the courage to release it.

haha, well it's an album that I made a while back but finally finished and yes, I am pretty happy with it


I can't wait to go to the cinema this weekend!


I know that sounds crazy, but I have never been so frightened in my life! It was terrifying for sure.

Yeah I can imagine. I would be moving out right away!


I hope I will win the contest I have entered!

I have entered to win a ticket to my favorite amusement park!


i was so grossed out when a friend threw up on me

we were at a party and he had too much whiskey inside him.


It is. I didn't even ask for it, and it's not a special occasion.


Im always giving life advice to my best friend.

nope,  young people know everything already.

welll one day they will see you were right


My sister flew over to my state during the weekend and I wasn't expecting it at al!

Indeed! I haven't seen her for a few years so I was happy for it


I cannot wait to see Taylor Swift in concert!

I actually went to high school with her. I cannot believe she is as famous as she is.

That is awesome, I went to high school with Brett Favre! Small world.


I'm pretty content with my family life right now.

Yes, no kids.  Nothing too crazy has happened in awhile.


I have a final exam for my Economics class tomorrow. I had been studying the whole past week and am ready to ace it

Indeed. Besides, hard work boosts your confidence and make you more to believe in yourself


Looking forward to getting my new vacuum for the SECOND time tomorrow.

The one they sent me wouldn't turn on and I needed a vacuum badly.  I hope it works..I swear I will cry if it doesn't.

I'm sure it will be fine.  Did you buy a good brand?

Yes! Great reviews. The former one just wasn't inspected even though it said it was. Stuff happens, but really I need a vacuum and it's cheaper to get them online

Yeah occasionally stuff breaks during shipping.


I am so sorry. I know right now your mind is spinning and everything is chaotic. You need to sit somewhere and let your mind settle down.


I missed my good friend's birthday party last month because I was too busy and forgot.

That's such a shame! Were you honest with your friend, and did they forgive you?

I was honest, they were still upset which makes me feel bad. I tried to make it up to her.

If she is that good a friend, I'm sure she'll forgive you soon enough.

I hope that she does, it made me feel awful. But here's to good thinking and positive vibes, she will come around!

sending my positive vibes to you too! Fingers crossed!


Yesterday I was doing shores outside and was just finishing up when a lizard jumped on me out of nowhere!

No.  They are really harmless, but I just wasn't expecting it at all!  It made my heart skip a beat!


One year i filed false tax forms and i feel really bad about it. I feel like i cheated on society.

No but i want to somehow fix my mistake.


My little brothers team were the campions, I couldnt believe it

Good for him. What sport do they play and was it any of that state level competitions?

He is just a little baseball player now, But I have high hopes for him

Seems promising. What position does he play?


The family and I are taking kids to the first beach vacation!

Oh, wow! That's awesome. What beach are you going to?


My friends 3 year old is able to ride a skateboard with ease! I was amazed at his skill!

Nice, it's like little kids can learn anything!

Yeah, I just couldn't get over how well he was able to balance!


I saw a man put ketchup in his milkshake.


Nikes are usually pretty cool. What do you like about the new ones?

I really like the new comfort fit soles.


Woah.  I would be too.  What do you think happened?

How can people do that!  Its awful.  I think you can use those suction things to get dents out pretty well.  Sorry that happened to you.


I am going to Boston in a couple weeks! I have never been and am really excited and looking forward to it!

that sounds like it is going to be a super trip, you'll have a blast

I hope so!  I have been waiting to go for a long time!

Boston is a great place to visit, makes sure you have some chowdah  :)


When I went on holiday to San Sebastian I was amazed at how beautful it was


I am sure you will be OK. The doctors can be very scary sometimes but most people get scared about things that aren't worth it.


All my life I have wanted to be a mom. I finally got the opportunity.

Congratulations!! How did it feel when you found out?

It was awesome. I just gave birth last week. This is the happiest I have ever been.

How cool! Congrats again on your new addition, I'll keep you in my thoughts and pray you get some sleep in the next 12 months haha


I was heartbroken when my grandmother passed away, I could not handle that at all


I remember being so happy when I was a child during Christmas. I loved opening presents with family and sharing that experience with them.

Yeah I remember those days too!  What was your favorite gift from a family member?

I remember getting a Barbie doll that was the special holiday edition one. It was pretty rare and hard to find, but my grandma found it!

Go Grandma!  What an awesome gift.  I bet you were stoked! :D

Oh yes! I was smiling from ear to ear! I hugged my grandma so tight that day.

Excellent!  Those thoughts are beautiful.  Have a good day :)


I feel so happy to live out in the country. Nature is the most beautiful thing to experience everyday!

That sounds so nice!  Are you very far from grocery stores and stuff?

Only about a 30 minute drive. Not to close and not to far. But we grow some of our food here and we have cows and chickens too.

Yeah, that's not too bad at all!  Sounds idyllic!


The lottery ticket I bought last night did not win.

Haha, well that's to be expected I guess. Do you play the lottery often?

I think it's fun to buy one every now and then, but wouldn't be my go-to for entertaining gambling.


I used to love taking my kids to the portrait studio.

We don't have time. The pictures are great but seeing them reminds me of the experience too.

Oh, that is no fun, but at least you have the memories!


The other day i saw the boy in the striped pajamas movies , boy was that a downer the end almost made me cry

I've never seen that but I love a good tear jerker!

watch it i wont spoil much , but its about the holocaust

I'll have to check it out this weekend. Anything about the holocaust makes me cry.


I stole from my friend and i feel pretty bad about it.

I needed shrimp for a recipe and he had some.


I absolutely can't wait for my kids to go back to school tomorrow. They have been driving me crazy all summer!

Bet you'll be glad to have some free time on your hands at last.

Yes, I can finally catch up on Netflix and get the house clean. Can't wait!

lol - yeah I can relate. Kids can be a real handful when they don't have structure - as in during the summer months.


I misunderstood what someone said to me, I tried to help but in turn it all turned out awkward and the conversation went wrong.

ah i know this feeling, how did the conversation go?

They kind of went off on me ad disagreed. What I said wasn't offensive, just irrelevant though lol.

it's okay, next just tell them that you didn't quiet understand what they meant and so they will explain it again


I got to hear a lot of cool songs on a radio station I usually don't listen to.

Mambo #5, Missy Elliot, and Ricky Martin. It really took me back

That one is a zinger! I remember listening to that when I took my grandma to prom!


I worked really hard on this project for work and it totally bombed.

Awe, sorry to hear that. I am sure you did better than you think.

Well, not really according to analytics. I was really let down by the fact that it was a flop but I'm not going to let it drag me down too much.

That is a good attitude. Better luck next time!


I am confident I will soon find a well paying job that will allow me to pay my student debt

Those are such high payments, be sure to get your plan based on your income, it really helps.

I will thank you for the advise.  Yes it is hard, I am glad to hear some schools will be free son so student don't get such a load.

Yes, the US takes advantage of the need for education. I hope you find a job you love, and don't forget that they have lots of payment options.


Guess what, I was really surprised today.

My friends threw my a birthday party! :)

That sounds wonderful! I'm sure that felt great.


I really felt confident that I could trust and love this girl that I used to date.

You always hope that is the case. Sounds like it didn't turn out well. I'm sorry.

It didn't turn out well since she lied to me, even though I really thought she was truthful.

That's terrible and really not fair to you. I feel so bad you had to go through that.


Yeah my nephew and I were playing the other day in the house, he got into these old porcelain pug figurines my mom used to have out and at first when I saw he had them I was apprenhensive about letting him fool around with them. I decided to just see what he would do, and he did end up ramming them together like cars, but they didnt break and we both ended up happy.

Oh my. You are brave.  Thank goodness they didn't break.  Did you mom  know what happened?

No, she wouldn't mind if she saw they were fine though.


I was going through an old photo album. It brought back so many memories.

I know how that could be, an old trip down memory lane can make you reflect on so much.

I agree, I fondly remember my childhood and got a blast of nostalgia looking at those photos.

That is wonderful.  I think that I will take a look at a few of my photo albums and get that feeling too.


Aww, that's sad. I love any and all animals, I'm sorry

It can be tough losing a pet, keep your head up


There's this Japanese restaurant I keep passing on my way to work. I'm finally going to check it out this weekend

Not sure yet. I'm trying it this weekend.

Oh I see. What made you finally decide to try it out?


October? I thought most Call of Duty games come out in November?

I know right. October 12th. I just pre ordered it. Im sad because its still so far away.

It will be October as soon as you know it, trust me. Hopefully they release a beta so we can play it earlier.


I was so happy to have my nephew spend the weekend with me

Nice, Did you do any fun activities together?


Sometime I envy my coworkers because some of them have a better career than me.

Yeah, I sometimes do that as well. But, as long as the bills are getting paid, I guess you can't complain.

You are right but sometime I can't keep think about it, mainly when the coworker is not smart.

True. But, you can't help stupid people from getting high paying jobs. I am a prime example.


My friend won the big screen TV at the work raffle. He only put one ticket in there. I put all twenty of mine. He is so lucky.

He sounds like he got really lucky. I'd be pretty jealous of him if I were you.

Oh I am. He keeps rubbing it in my face.

Well, that's not a very friend like thing to do.


I scored a 95 on my promotion exam, I was upset that I missed one question.

But that is an awesome grade!  You should be so proud!!!

Thank you, I am definitely proud! When was your last exam?

Oh, it's been years since I've taken an exam!  Perhaps the last one was a para-pro exam to help out in the local schools when my kids were younger - but they didn't even give me the grade - it was a pass/fail type exam (the horror of not knowing the grade though!!)


I am ready for the Foreigner reunion concert.

I am not sure what that is, but I wish you luck with it.

It is a rock band from the 80s. They are my favorite.

That is actually nice, i like rock music.


I recently got a new job in a city three hours away in an industry that I've never worked in yet. I'm a bit nervous, but at the same time I'm excited.

Congratulations, I'm sure you will do great.  it's always nerve-racking the first day of work!

Thanks for confidence. Yeah, it's all overwhelming. The new job in a new industry and the move away from the town I grew up in. But I'm ready to take it head on!

Good luck, and have fun.  The money will just be a bonus!


I am a little envious of my brother in a good way. He is getting married to his best friend

thats amazing, and also i would be a little envious, I just want love.

Yeah, love seems to be something hard to find these days

I believe its out there for all of us, we just gotta find it.


Those days are they best. Are you going to run errands or just chill?

Just gonna chill.  The new warcraft expansion came out. I'll probably check that out too.


I'm stoked for my EP release.  Still working on it but I'm 7 songs deep and feel like a lot of people will vibe with it

Oh sweet, I can't even  imagine the excitement you must have. I hope everything works out for you!

We need more musicians who are about the music and bringing enlightenment to people. We got way too much commercial garbage on the radio. I really hope your message resonates with people.


I got this gold chain from my dad and I still wear it every single day.

I'm not sure, it was just a seemingly normal gold necklace with a charm on it.

Cool, I like those, but they are crazy expensive, if you want a thick one.


There's a new cute girl on our volleyball team.

hahaha I think we should get to know each other for more than one day first?

Alright alright, you can go the slow route


As a child, I was mean to my sister all the time and I still feel awful about it.

Aw, well when your younger you don't do those things on purpose. I think everyone is mean to their siblings every now and then.

True, but she's very sensitive. I'm sure it still bothers her. I try to make up for it today, but I never can take those things back.

Have you talked to her about it? Maybe she doesn't really think about it anymore.


When I shop online for computer parts, I like to use newegg because I am confident their items will ship fast and on time.

I have never used newegg before, and I think that sounds like that are very good at what they do. I might have to check them out!

They are great! Have been around for a very long time and I've bought from them since I was a teenager.

I will have to check out newegg based on your recommendation. They sound fantastic so thanks!!


That sounds like fun! It's great to spend time with our children. Did you have fun?

I did. My daughter is almost my size. Reminded me that she is growing up on me...

Oh yes, they can do that when they get older. My daughter is a teenager now, so I can relate!


I can't seem to get to sleep tonight, too much on my mind.

Oh no. Have you been stressed about anything?

No, its just that I am starting a new job tomorrow.


I know how you feel. I have not seen mine as well as we all live so far away

Same. It just feels like I am not even apart of the family sometimes.

Yep, I hardly talk to them. even less to my dad.


My son was prett slow to start speaking.

I took him to get evaluatd and we are waiting for a spot to open at school. I practiced at home with him non stop though and now he won't shut up. I'm so proud of him


I am expecting my first child. It is going to be a boy! We are preparing the nursery and getting everything in order for his arrival!

Must be such an exciting time for your family!

Be sure to get plenty of rest thought! Its easy to lose sleep in such a time.


My daughter started high school this week. I am so proud!

Thanks.  My only hope is that she can stay on the honor roll like she has for the past three years.


Last year, during the spring, extremely heavy rainfall caused our basement to become flooded.

Oh man! I have been there, I hope you didn't have anything special down there??

I lost all of my childhood photos and many of my childhood toys and things I had saved, my bible from my late grandmother being one of the items.

Oh lord, i am so sorry! I have been there, that is hard!


My daughter borrowed my car the other day and you won't believe what happened.

Oh dear. Is it what I am thinking? Did she wreck it?

Not quite. She tapped another car in the parking lot. It has a big scratch on it now.

I am so sorry to hear about that. The good thing is she is okay

It was a new car so I'm pretty ticked off.


My daughter and her family are coming this Thanksgiving. I'm already preparing for their visit.

Oh that's exciting! Are you nervous at all?

Not too much, just really exciting. I'm planning everything even though it's months away, even the menu.

Oh wow, it sounds like you really love them. I'm super happy for you! I hope it goes exactly how you planned. You sound like a good father.


I had a fun weekend planned with my best friend'


I somewhat disagree. It's been so hot I'll be happy to see the end of summer.

I love the fact I do not have to work in the summer.


I think my brain is full.  I am ready as I can be!

I have a test at work this week.  I have been studying for like a week.  I think I am ready for it.


I got angry at my brother one time when he ruined a football game score that I had recorded

Because he was sad at the result I suppose


A lot people know Toys-R-Us has completely shut down not long ago.

yea i remember it seeing go away a few months back, sad.

Yeah, a lot of my friends and I got to thinking of all our memories there. Really makes you think back.


I have a wonderful colleague who is awaiting biopsy results. It's so concerning. She's a lovely person.

Oh, dear! You must be anxious for your colleague. I really hope everything comes out alright.

Same here. I'm trying to do everything I can to be supportive while trying to distract her from worrying.

You are a good and caring friend. She is lucky to have you.


At work, the men restroom was flooded because of a clogged toilet. It was so bad to see. I wanted throw up.

Yes. I had to wait until i get home to go the bathroom.


One of my favorite things to do is cook, and I recently moved into a new apartment by myself. I'm gonna say cooking for yourself isn't really as fun as cooking for a group.

Not at all. It is kind of boring being left to clean everything alone.

It is! It's sort of like how if someone packs you a little note with your lunch, it's really nice, but obviously if you made your own note you'd just feel silly.


Around this time of the year, my husband usually always gets a large bonus, but it's not a promise. It's not easy waiting to see if he will!

It all depends, but always has been thousands. So, the waiting drives us nuts!

Wow, well I hope you guys get it this year then!


There was a party at work today. Totally unannounced.

No one. Upper management just decided to throw a part for us!


My friends threw a party for me when I got promoted at work. I couldn't believe it.


My friend has been taking care of his elderly mom, going to school and work full-time.

Wow, that's amazing of him, it must be really hard.

It is hard for him. I try to help, when I can.

That's really kind of you, I bet he appreciates all the help he can get big or small.


I love streaming services but sometimes they really frustrate me.

Every once in awhile I get the idea to search for a movie, and almost every time it's either not listed or requires an extra charge.

I hear that.  Sometimes the classics are impossible to find.


My wife just celebrated her one year anniversary at her business

How awesome! She must be proud of herself! Where does she work?

She owns her own salon, I am so happy for her

It isn't easy to be successfully self-employed but she did it!


i shouldnt have trusted my brother with my dog!


it is nice to have a loving pet , My dog is always there for me

What a great feeling! You must love your dog.

i really do, no matter what happens, she will always be by my side


Me too, I'm excited for fall, I like to layer my clothes

And the snow! I'm excited to start skiing again


I had some Big Macs and Taco Bell gorditas. They were delicious

That sounds like a good lunch! I love Taco Bell

It was! Thank god I don't gain that much weight.

That is definitely good, I am not that fortunate!


Was it in a field that you wanted to be in, or just because you needed a job?


i live next to a football field and every football season i hate living here

i have signs up this year, so i can do that legally!

Oh so you have to have a sign up to legally tow them?

Yes. Which i think is wrong.  If they are on my property i should have the right without the sign.

Or you could just park behind them so that they would have to knock on your door before you let them out.


I saw my ex-girlfriend on a date with my best friend.

Oh man. I'm sorry. Do you still have a cordial relationship with your ex?


Last Halloween a few kids Egged my house.

Thats super mean of them.  Did you give them bad candy?

I didnt catch them in time so I couldnt get my revenge.

Too bad, You couldve done something really good to them.


I had 4 out of 5 lottery numbers right, but I didn't get any money for it.

Oh man!  That's sick!  So close!  That is torture.

I know, the excitement was building as every number came up, then.....so excited....NOTHING!

Horrible!!! I know you probably could've used it to go on a vacay, right? Outer Banks beach or something? Right? Sorry man.


My computer's motherboard wasn't running properly so I did a little quick fix. I'd really like it to keep running for another month or two until I can afford a new one.

Oh no!  That is always terrible when technology stops working well.  What did you do to fix it?

I had to solder it in a few different spaces. So far so good! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll run a bit longer.

That's awesome!  You are talented! Maybe it'll go for another year so you can save.


I carry around the ticket stub from the first concert I attended in my wallet.  It brings back good memories I had spending time with my friends.

Aww, that's really sweet and sentimental. I like that. Can you still read the words on it?

The edges are a little frayed but I can still make out everything on it.  I keep it in a zippered compartment to preserve it.  Maybe I'll frame it someday.

I was going to say, yeah, that's the kind of thing I would love to preserve in a frame or something for my office. How cool!

Yeah, it's a nice little souvenir to remind me of good times.  It was a great concert and experience for all of us.

Who did you go see? And are you still friends with all the same people? I wonder if any of them kept their ticket stubs too.


I saw this kid on a skateboard the other day.  I thought he was gonna wipe out hard, but he pulled off some kind of multi-flip jump thing that really shocked me.

Skateboarders have some serious skills! I can barely walk a straight line.

I know, right?!  I tried skateboarding once when I was a kid, made it to being able to kind of not fall over in a straight line, never managed to do anything else.

We all have different talents. Mine do not lie in those kind of stunts either lol!


A bus hit my car once. It came out of nowhere!

The car was totaled but I was very lucky not to get hurt. I never thought something like this would happen to me.

Good! Life is unpredicatable and on the road, its not how you drive it's how other drive.


I love to reminisce about my childhood. I grew up during the 80s.

I graduated in 2000, but all the toys and video games I remember fondly are from the 80s.


I bought a raffle ticket for a charity where I have a 1/500 chance of winning a car

Oh nice! That seems more likely than winning the state lottery. That would be so cool if you won!

Yes.  They were $100 but they only sell 500 tickets.  And the money raised goes to breast cancer research

That sounds like a really nice program. Where can I buy some tickets?!


My friend doesn't know how to swim, and she just went in the pool with her life jacket with no care in the world.

That is amazing,  Is there a certain reason she cant swim,  she just never learned?

Yea, she just never learned and wants to hang out with us when he go to the pool or beach.


whats is your opinon on situation like this?

"I don't like doing my job and the duties of other co-worker that slack.".

My opinion is I don't mind doing my own job but if I have to do my co-workers jobs, I would get furious. It is not fair?


I was so mad when my dog got my dinner off the table.

Oh I would be pissed. Hopefully you had more so you could fix another plate.

Guessing he didn't get anymore food for dinner lol.


Have you ever thought something was yours and you wanted it so bad only to find out that it wasn't?

It just happened to me, I thought I had my dream job.

wow that really sucks, im sure you will bounce back


My coworker stole my presentation idea and claimed it was his, I can't believe it.

WHAT? did, you have any idea beforehand,  or he just showed up with your idea.

He showed up with my idea so not only was I so mad but embarrassed to because it looked like I stole from him!

OH no! I didnt even think about that.  That must have been terrible.


I am so thankful for invention of cars! Can you imagine have to walk or take a bike to places very far away?

I couldn't. I would love to be able to walk to work, but it's just too far.

Me too, everything is so far nowadays. I am so grateful!

If we had a better public transportation system where I live, I'd probably choose that over cars.


I have been feeling a little lonely lately

I'm sorry to hear that! Maybe you can find a local club so you can meet people with similar interests!

That sounds like a great idea! I would love to just dance and shake off all these bad vibes! :)

That sounds like fun! And a great cure for loneliness!


You are saying it as if it's a bad thing, are you left without friends?

My friend just stay strong, family and kids can suck you life away(not always of course).


My daughter and I just got home from her high school freshman orientation.

Awesome! How was that? do you think she will enjoy high school?

She got her schedule, locker and was able to figure out where her classes were.  I think we are both ready for school to start now.

I know that feeling, I'm waiting for the college to start myself!


I've been studying for my math test all this week. Never felt so prepared in my life.

That's awesome.  What level of math is it?

I always had trouble with math so anything above counting is beyond what I feel competent in.  Good luck on the test!


I used to have the best next door neighbors.

They wer really nice and trustworthy. I even let them use my wifi password.

That's awesome, I've never had good neighbors so I'm pretty jealous of you!


I never thought I would miss high school.

Oh I have felt that way before. When did you graduate?

2002. I just didnt have to pay bills back then. I don't like it anymore lol

I can totally understand that. I was so excited to get out into the 'real' world. I did one enlistment in the military after high school, and now I am in college. Rude awakening after high school!


I was checking mail everyday to see if I had won the contest

Nothing yet, the suspense is killing me!

Well, I wish you luck. Maybe you need a distraction.


I have been working on getting a lot better at my job. It requires a lot of studying.

I have to read all the benchmarks that we use to do our work and read all the policies. It is so much reading.


That's good :)  Having a good family always makes life easier.

I bet!  Mine have been really great too!


How exciting, is he a non-traditional student?

Yes, he is still active duty army but getting out in November. I am so proud of him furthering his education!

That is really good, speaking from experience, all military men and women should get a degree.


I doubt I will get any sleep waiting for tomorrow.

I am finally getting to take the kids to Disneyland!

Oh, well that is a fine thing indeed! I would be  jumping up and down!


so friend i just went on a vacation and i was very happy i needed it

Yes! where did you go? do you feel relaxed?

i went to santa fe! I felt very relaxed and happy you know? It was chill

Yes! I bet it was great, probably really nice weather.


Saw a person who seemed very sick and unhealthy..spit in their hands..sneeze in them..sling it everywhere..then touch the doorhandle to the store

Oh god. Does that store have sanitizing wipes?

Nope! I just can't believe how gross and selfish they were..If you want your sickness ok..but don't share it with everyone.

Some people just aren't considerate of others like that.


I am so proud of my bff. We started out a servers together in a restaurant

She does but she is the head chef now. Isn't that awesome?


I am really impressed that I am still able to teach my dog things at his age

Wow, you can teach an old dog new tricks.


my health isn't that good lately but i'm scared to go to the doctor because i don't like getting blood work done

I don't think many people like going to the doctor.

My wife is always laughing at me about that. she tells me i act like a kid

hahaha you know your relationship is alright, if your wife isn't afraid to tease ya.


Last year my little boy almost failed the second grade. I have been helping him study and can you believe that he passed third grade with an A in every subject. I am beside myself.

I am a teacher so I understand.  You must be working well with him!  Do teachers know what accommodations to make or how to differentiate for him to be successful in the classroom?

I think his teacher last year was very involved and was able to communicate what he needed. I think he has really formed some good habits over the past year. I cant wait to watch him succeed.

The amount of pride he will have in himself with speak volumes.  Let his new teachers know what works for him.  You are his best advocate!


I was heartbroken when my grandmother passed away, I am still not over it

Oh I am sorry to hear that. You must have been close to her.

I was yes, but I guess that is life sometimes

Yes, at least you have those memories of her to cherish and hold forever.


I felt very confident when I aced my job interview for my current job

Thats good. One should always appreciate family.

Yeah, and i am really close with my brothers which helps a ton

I see, healthy relationships should be cherished!


I'm shopping for a new bicycle! Can't wait to pick one out.

That sounds like fun!  Are you big into biking?

I have been recently, yes. I'm using an old beat up hand-me-down mountain bike so getting the right bike for me is going to be so much fun.

Mountain biking is great.  Is is really theraputic.  I hope you enjoy your new bike


A big wind storm blew through town and uprooted one of the trees in my yard.

No, but that was my fear. I kept waiting to hear the sound of a branch or tree hitting my roof, or breaking glass.

That's pretty scary. I'm glad there wasn't any damage and that you're okay.


My sister is coming from France to visit us. I am happy to see her again.

No, I am not. It is exciting. It has been almost a year since I saw her.


I have 2 working arms and legs. I am so thankful for not being handicapped in life.

I'm grateful for my limbs as well, this the reason I'm a hard worker. I appreciate what god gave me.

I know right? We could have gotten so much worse in life.


I ordered a vacuum that I needed asap..however it didn't work when I got it and they wouldn't rush ship another one to me.

Could you purchase one from a local store?

I could but it would be twice as expensive! I prefer buying things online as it's less of a hassle to return them if something is wrong. I don't have to drive anywhere

I see, online is such a convenience but if things get delayed or don't work it becomes an issue.


I am happy with my life now, I have a good girlfriend and friend group

That is great! I bet you are feeling very good.

I am, it is nice to feel like this for a change

It takes a while to feel that great. I am almost there.


When I was younger, my grandmother passed away, I was so upset

I loved my grandparents on my mother's side , so I understand how you feel.

Thank you, I hope nothing ever happens to them!

I was very close to mine. They are like parents but more fun.


My kids left for college last summer. I got teary when they got in the car to leave. I was thinking about how quick their childhood had gone by.

I have those kinds of feelings as well. I think memories are a good thing though

It was rough for me because I have so many memories of them growing up. Now I miss them so much!

I can understand that for sure, just remember the good ones


Roommate just walked in on me while I was... trying to... "feel good" if you know what I mean. So awkward. My door doesn't have a lock, either. I told him to not come in, and he just kept coming in!

I not sure what do you mean, but can use my imagination,  it sounds like something really embarrassing.

Yes, I was... self-pleasuring, if you can understand that. It was definitely an awkward and embarrassing position to be in. I just went out there and tried to have a normal conversation afterwards so that we could move on as quickly as possible. But I was mortified.

Yes what I thought,  I guess your roommate must have been more embarrassed.


I typically procrastinate when needing to pack for a trip. But this time I got my butt in gear and it's all done several days early.

Thanks. I usually get somewhere and realize I forgot a bunch of stuff I need cause I packed in a rush 30 minutes before leaving.

It reallyi s the best way to do things. That way even if you forget something you've got time to remember and remedy the situation

Fortunately, my wife usually comes to the rescue on me.

Haha, sometimes wifes are nice to have around.


The other day I was going through my things and I found my old Gamecube. I remember all the fun times I had playing with friends.

Why certainly! It brought back memories of childhood and how carefree I used to be. I'd love to go back to those times.

I know what you mean, life gets more complicated as you get older :)

Such is life but, the best we can do is find pieces of the old emotions we cherish in modern item. Like the smell of dishsoap my grandmother used to use.

Funny how some of those smells bring back the feelings of old times!


Motorist scratched my car in the road today.

Yeah, I filed a complaint. I enraged on him.


I was watching a show last night about the shooting at PArklands school in Texas a few months ago.

It was very sad. But focussed on the gun control debate.

It sounds like an important film. I love watching documentaries.


I once had a long walk home from the railway station with two very heavy bags. It turned out that another person had also missed the last bus and had to walk much of the journey with me as his home was in the same direction as mine. The two bags I had had some expensive DJ equipment but they were VERY heavy so when they guy who had to walk home the same way said he would help by carrying one of the bags I trusted him! He didn't disappoint, he helped me get home earlier and without a bad back; while the kindness of strangers made what a potentially bad night to a reasonably pleasant one - all down to trust!

What a nice guy.  There are fewer and fewer of those every day.

It's one of those things that in the day time you might expect but this was like 1am so I'm sure he would have wanted to get home as soon as he could but he chose to make his night harder to make my night easier.


That's kinda bad. What did you lie about?

I know its bad, but I went out eith some new friends who probably wouldn't get her like I do

Well, I suppose it is justified as long as you don't do it all the time.


A few years ago, I was invited to Rockfest by my older brother and his friends.

That was nice of them! I bet you felt really cool hanging with them. How did it go?

Yeah it was awesome! I was a little scared at first but within a few hours of arriving there it turned into a total blast!

That is awesome! I love festivals, they're always great to unwind and even just walk around talking to people.


I know things will work out in God's perfect timing

Yes, I agree, are you hoping for something in particular.

Yes I am. For everything we want for the baby to be gifted to us lol

That's a good hope. Good luck with that.


my son is going to be tested for school soon

the school board. he might be able to start school early.


I saw my friend projectile vomit on the rollercoaster. The smell still haunts me...

Oh lord, you might make me vomit right now!

My bad! But I can't get that picture out of my head. The yellow juice was so powerful and the smell was even worse!!!!

You totally aren't sorry. You are being super gross! lol. TMI


I went a bunch of job interviews last week. I have a good feeling that I will land something soon.

Yes! I bet it will, did you go in and kill it?

I feel like I did. I should hear something soon.


I went to the park to read a book yesterday.

That sounds so relaxing.  What book did you read?

I read "The Cat and the Hat"! It is a very intellectual and soothing book.


I was lonely when my family left for the weekend

I'm sorry to hear that. Where did they go?

Oh man, Sometimes it's hard to strike that work life balance.


I have a disease called Lupus.  Because I am so sick from this It causes me to lose alot of friends.  I am not able to go out and hand out like I use to because I am just to sick to get out.  It makes me lonely.

That's really sad. Is there a cure for Lupus?

No unfortunately there isn't.  You can sometimes go into remission with really powerful drugs but that isn't guaranteed

I am sorry about that. Is it contagious?


My neighbor is asking to borrow stuff from me.

Do you think they will return it if they borrow it?

Probably, but it will be a habit.  It is so irritating.

I wouldn't let them borrow it. Who has time for all that?


it upset me to see that my dog to loose the other day


I cut someone off in traffic this morning, made me feel a bit bad.

You shouldnt feel bad. It happens to all of us at some point.

yea but still makes me feel bad for doing it.


the chargers are set up for a great season!

I agree, are you looking forward to them winning some silverware?

Yep, and I think they will be playing fantastically well. No one stands a chance!


My daughter was accepted into Harvard. She starts in the fall.

That is very impressive. She going to make sooo much money

She worked so hard and it's really expensive so I hope so!

Any employer would hire someone who went to Harvard in a heartbeat. You are a lucky parent!


My car is on it's last legs. I think I see a new car in my future very soon.

Oh, I'm sorry.  What are you thinking of getting?

I would love to get an X-Terra! I'm a big fan of the SUV platform.


Well no softball tournament for me this weekend!  Not enough interest I guess.

Its always hard finding enough teams to sign up for tournaments on the weekend.

Probably a lot are on vacation  ,especially now.


I met this girl on Tinder one time and she gave me such mixed signals.

haha, welcome to Tinder! It's the app of mixed signals. Did things work out finally?

Yeah, usually you just move on. There are plenty more fish in the sea!


Going camping next weekend. I haven't hung out with my friends in so long.

That sounds like so much fun.  I hope you have a good, relaxing time.  Where are you going?

To a city named Scotland. Their pier is supposed to be very beautiful.

I hope it's a better experience by the pier than mine.  hahahaha.


My son just passed his fist level in swimming lessons. I feel good to be his dad right now.

Did you help him to learn the swim techniques?

Yes, we would practice every even in our pool when the weather is nice.


I have a final exam that I've been studying for for days.

How do you think it will go? Are you confident?

I think I will do really well. I feel prepared for it.


I watched a movie the other night with my kids, they really enjoyed it and we had a lot of cute conversation about it.

What was the movie? I'm always looking for something new to watch with my kids!

It's called Ponyo. They've been singing a song from it for the last couple of days.

I will have to check it out! Thanks for the suggestion.


I got a pet hermit crab when I was on vacation in Hawaii, and I just found him dead this morning.

Yeah, I was crying a bit. We spent so much time together I would take him everywhere.

I hope you can find some comfort during this time!


One time, I was in the elevator with a couple people inside and I accidentally let out a fart. I could not wait to get out of there!

Oh lol, I'm sure it was embarrassing but it's happened to most, so understandable.

I know it that is a common scenario, but I could not stop thinking about that for the rest of the day!


Doesn't it always seem like there's a new reboot of something sprouting up wherever you look?

Hmm. Superman, Spiderman. Voltron. Batman!

I get it. It does seem like they are always coming out with another version.


I was recently looking through old pictures and it made me feel weird. Like a longing for the past.

I get nostalgia all the time.  Were they family pictures

Cool.  Do you still keep in touch with those friends


I wish I could go back to the 80's for a little while at times.

Don't you wish you knew you were living in the good ol days while your going through them

That's nothing but the truth! What's your favorite era?

Probably the mid to late 90s. This is going to be hilarious but my one memory from that era is when I first heard Brittany Spears hit me baby one more time song. It changed my life


My nephew starts the 10th grade this year

10th grade was a good year.  I met my favorite girlfriend that year.  Is he excited?

Yeah.   He's playing football too.  Little boy is growing up :)

thats so cool.  what position is he playing?


Next month I teach a beginning cake decorating class.

Do you have a lot of experience baking cakes?

Yes, about 5 years.  I've also taught this class before.


I am so sorry to hear that she has passed.  How long has she been gone?

21 years, but I miss her every single day


A lady left her young kid in the car yesterday alone in front of the gas station. I would have video taped it but my mom told me after she left. Anything could've happened..and too boot- we are in the ghetto.

Some people are just so careless... I am sure your mom was keeping a good eye on the child. shame on the parent tho.

My mom saw it when she came out- It was hot out too- child in a car seat..YOUNG- Screaming. Seriously? I just don't get it- Even in a nice town your child can get stolen in a second.

I know its a pain in the rear to lug them around but you have to. I lug mine around like a kangaroo with her kid in her pouch.


That does sound scary.  I would have used my phone flashlight


You know sometimes when you just feel like you have to leave a job? Well, that time is now for me and I can not wait for my job interview this week.

Yeah I have had that experience. One was so bad I left before getting another job. Don't recommend doing that, lol.

It is so tempting you're absolutely right. I'm going to try and hang on though, and thanks for the advice.

Stick it out until you have a backup. Your bank account will thank you!


My child lied to me and it really hurt but more than anything I just cant believe he would lie to me.

He went out to another friends house, but didnt tell me where he was going.  Anything coulda happened and I wouldnt have known where he was.


MY son hits his head on the floor purposely when he doesnt get his way

about a year. the doctor said he does it for attention and real tears.

yea once it doesnt work anymore he will stop doing it


I got some BHB salts that are for keto in the mail today and I am VERY intrigued and couldn't wait to try them!

I sometimes eat too many carbs or sugar now and again and wanted a way to get back in too ketosis quicker

Ah okay, that is good then, I hope they are effective for you!


We've been really struggling with potty training my son.

I do understand, I have a son myself. You just need to be patient and continue trying.

Thanks, we are.  He did finally go #2 in the toilet by himself last night, though!


I am upset I have to tell my daughter her pet died.

That is terrible. How long have you had this pet?

She had it for 2 years. But I feel I must be honest with her.

Honesty is vey important. I hope she will not feel too bad.


I started to feel panicky and breathless.

That's no good. Why did you feel like that?

Some knocked the door forcefully. I was alone at that time.

Oh no. Who was at the door? Was it a mime?


During a work meeting, I was presenting and two coworker keep talking to each other. It was bothering me.

That's really rude of them, I guess no one taught them manners.

I am shy and I didn't find the way to say to them politely to stop.

Someone else should have looked out for you, though.


My son failed his physics exam yesterday.

Ouch, was it an unfair test or did he not study?

Naw, he's somewhat lazy like myself when I was a young lad, but still, it was rather disappointing.

Yea, hope he can make it up the rest of the year.


I was happy when my brother moved home. I missed him

I bet! I am glad you have a good relationship with a sibling! That's rarer nowadays


I am excited for the new super smash bros game coming out for the switch soon

That will be a ton of fun to play!  I rememeber when the first one came out, what a blast.  Now I have to go get a switch!

You definitely should, they are a great system to own, I LOVE mine


My friend wrecked my car when I let him borrow it over the weekend

That is a real bummer. I hope your friend gets it repaired for you.

Well, it's a giant hassle to manage from the insurance side but apparently they will cover it if he doesn't. Might hike my rates, though

Well you probably won't be lending your car again any time soon hahah!


My bank, which I've had a savings account with for over 10 years has been deducting $15/month from me for "inactivity". How about that?

Death by a thousand cuts, I call it! They'll try to make a buck off anything!

Very true. They didn't even tell me. That was the last thing I expected! I only just decided to use it again.

Did you try talking to them about it? I can only assume it wouldn't go well but you never know.


My husband used to tell me to go to sleep at night when my daughter was born. I didn't want to go to sleep because I didn't want to miss a moment with her.

Aww that is so sweet.  I completely understand why!  Oh and thank you for your apology but I am truly content and have accepted it.

My husband didn't get it. He thought I was crazy. Oh well.....


Yesterday my sister left to go back to her state

Oh that must be hard.  Are you guys really close

We are, and it's painful to see her go because I know I wont see her again until next year

Man I know how that feels.  When I go to visit my sister and nieces, I have such a hard time when its time to fly home


So I was at the mall yesterday and saw my ex having lunch.

Yea and it made me feel so nostalgic when we talked about old memories!

It is nice that both of you still share good memories.


You know being a parent is so hard, but I feel so lucky to have my children especially in stressful times...

when you need them the most they are there, i hope they always keep that same attitude as they get older.

I am trying to teach that to my children. They are stubborn


the event was all white from dressing to the decorations. I really loved it

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Was it a wedding?

That's wonderful. I am going to a wedding next week!


My friend's boyfriend of 10 years cheated on her.


My husband is out of town for work. This sucks

Sorry to hear that. Must feel quite lonely for you.

Yes I don't like being home alone at night

Luckily you can always contact your husband to see how he is doing and hear his voice.


I'm sad, tomorrow will be the last time I get to see my friend before she leaves for college!

Oh that is sad. I hope you can spend some good time together then.

Yeah, we have a whole day planned, but I'll definitely miss her!

I hope you can also visit her there if you get the chance!


I'm taking my wife out this coming weekend to dance.

That sound amazing.  Dancing is very bonding.

We haven't been able to go out in quite a long time.  Family and life stuff just gets in the way sometimes.

Well, a night out dancing will go a long way towards reconnecting with the love of your life.  I am happy for you!


i know right, but what can we do, he is the president :)


My dog returned home after running away today.

It was! I was so happy. I thought I would lose him forever.

Did the little guy even feel guilty for running away?


It seems funny to me how all my hometown friends are all moving away

Tell me about it. Both of my best friends moved several states away from me.

I've always been content to just stay here. I guess for some people, adventure is nice, but for others there's no place quite like home!

Yeah, I'm content being at my home town aswell.


I found a biggest spider in my shower this morning. I never knew I could shriek like that..

Did you jump out or did you brave the war and kill it!?

I killed it but it took a lot of courage and hesitation haha

Im sure!!! I had a gecko come in my house today and it was adorable yet i was still super scared to touch it.


Yesterday i watch on tv a kid who could speak 4 different languages at age 3, i was in shook!

Well they are called wonder kids! i was in wonder, i also read about one who just graduated from college at age 11

I wonder if they ever feel like they don't get a childhood?


my little boy learned how to  count to ten eeven know he is super young

ohhh cute!! i am so happy for you, smart boy!

yeah i was so proud of him as well i thought i would have to wait months till he got to that point

a rare one, i hope he goes a long way and maybe even be the next Einstein we need


My bank refunded me 100 bucks over a clerical error!

Oh wow! What are you going to buy with all that sweet loot? Firecrackers?

Not sure yet.  I know some of it has to go for groceries, but the rest - I should save it, my burned out laptop needs a new hard drive.

That sound like a wise decision. I think I would just get a blow up doll instead.


I tried a new restaurant down the street from me and WOW it was amazing. Totally wasn't expecting it

That's amazing! I love finding new places like that.

Me too.. it's been a while since we got a new restaurant around here. I bet it's going to do great

I hope it does and you can KEEP going there! haha


I am shocked that CNN is still in business.

They lie more than any other news organization.

I am not American so I am only vaguely aware of them.  They are an American new channel is that right?


I need new carpet for my house so I cannot wait to get my income tax return this year

What happened exactly? Is it just old and moldy?

no its just 17 years old and needs to be replaced

At least you got your moneys worth! Are you going to have it installed?


I totally thought that I aced this calculus test I took like a year ago.

Oh, I'm so sorry, can yo retake the test?


I see, being alone can be fulfilling to. It all depends on the kind of person you are.

i agree with you, i get a lot of inspiration when i'm alone.

Yes, we can discover our inner worlds whenever we're alone!


I'm sad when  I use a clever one-liner from old pop lyrics...and it goes right over people's heads..waste of genius really

Oh no that is truly tragic. People dont appreciate the older novelties

Right, some guy was complaining about how this old playground he used to play at was being renovated...and I said "don't it always seem to gooo.." and the counting crows reference just went up in flames

You dont know what you got till its gone.. lol the ignorance!!!


A coworker helped me move to another city. He was so kind.

That's really nice of them, did they help you move your heavy appliances and stuff too?

No, I sold the heavy appliances before moving but he helped me moved my stuff. I thankful to him.

Oh, either way that's still very generous of them and I'd certainly be grateful to have someone like that.


So i used to shop in walmart and i thought it was the cheapest place to shop at but yesterday i went grocery shopping at aldi's and i was so surprised to see how much cheaper it is to shop there

I thought walmart was pretty cheap.  I've never been to aldi's

you should give it a try! They have their own brands which are super cheap and the quality is great

I may need to see if I have one near by.


I'm grateful for the work hours, but bummed that I can't get time off.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe you can talk with your boss about changing the schedule a bit.

Well, I've worked without a break for the last 3 years, I just want to get away abit.

Wow, that is a long time! That shows how dedicated you are to your job, and that you deserve some time off!


My aunt and I clean up/renovate houses, and the one we're working on now was lived by an elderly man with dementia. It has been seriously gross trying to clean!

No way! That's sad for the man but gross for you

From what I know, the man was real nice, but his dementia had gotten very far. There were silverfish everywhere (in the house he had to live in), and a stack of discarded adult diapers just piled in a corner.


I was really looking forward to New Year's. We go to a celebration at a restaurant and then cook lots of great food.

Oh that sounds like fun! What types of food do you cook?

For New Year's, we make all sorts of little appetizers. It's the stuff we normally wouldn't splurge on.


I rented out my house and when I came back it was filthy and smelly

I had to call the police and report the renters because I was so disgusted!


It's finally raining after weeks of hot humid weather, I'm so relieved.

That would be nice. We need some rain too.

I hope the weather takes a better turn for you guys soon!


I got cut off in traffic the other day I almost wrecked. It ticked me off.

Dang, traffic must be intense in your area

People are just crappy drivers everywhere.

True, driving takes more focus than a lot of people can handle


My friend managed to do a cartwheel in front of me. I didn't think he could do it anymore.

haha that's pretty cool. Is he a gymnasist?

Nope, he just swore he would be able to. I can't accomplish that!

Me neither! That is pretty cool. I fun party trick haha


Hi, I slipped on my wedding day whilst walking on the aisle.

Yea but I got really red faced and embarrassed.


Awesome, I bet you're with your puppy all the time now :)

Yes of course! He is the cutest pup, and full of energy!

Puppies are so wonderful, I'm happy for you!


Another one of my neighbors got a new car.

Who cares? I want a new car too. I think I am the only one on my block without one now

I know it sucks when people get what you need and its out of sight but I hope you get one soon!


I was walking down the hall at school and slipped and fell.

Yes, luckily I landed on my back and not on my head.

Sounds painful.  I hope you didn't cause any damage.


My parents reminded me of this time from when I was younger and got sent to the principals office

Lol are they still holdig that against you?

No, they thought it was funny.  I got caught cheating on a test.  I wasn't really good at it and everyone found out.  It was quite an ordeal

Lol. We all cheated at some point.  They know that.


I had to compose myself and pull over to remove the spider. I'm so thankful that I didn't freak out and crash the car.

It was very scary, i'm terrified of spiders. What are you afraid of?

I hate snakes! They are like little evil creatures.


i saw a sad kid at the store and bought him a candy to cheer him up

Aw, that's so sweet of you. Did it work?

That's really nice. The world needs more people like you.


Every night before bed, we read the Bible to our son. I love when he relates what he learned to real life.

That is really awesome! That is so important to be involved in his life like that.

It does! Kids can understand things about the bible that most adults overlook.


I was at the fair, and I spilled my drink all over myself

Oh no! Did you have to go home and change?


So I had a customer sign the wrong form today. I feel kind of bad because I'll have to have them sign the right thing next time and I'll look incompetent.

That's a bummer. At least you will be more attentive next time?

For sure, that is a silver lining. Mistakes happen I suppose, can't expect to be perfect!

Indeed. If everyone got worked up over things like that, we'd all be out of jobs.


My friend is getting a new truck tomorrow. I wanted it so bad

Aww dangit!  Maybe he'll let you drive it

And then just keep driving and don't take it back lol


it was suprising to see my dog find his way home the other day

He was probably hungry, and thought to himself, that place wasn't so bad huh.

nah we dropped him off about two miles away and he made it back

HAHA, you wanted him gone? maybe he did it to spite you.


I felt very unpleasant last week when i fell to the ground skateboarding and lots of people saw it happen

Oh no! You have to have a tough mentality when you do that as it can be rough to have people see you fail

Yeah it was bad but i kept practicing and eventually learned pretty quick

That's good! Practice makes perfect and if everyone stopped when they failed, we would not have as much as we do today


I have been ordering out for the past two weeks.

Is it too hot to cook or do you just hate cooking?

Well it gets really hot in the kitchen, but I just haven't been feeling like doing it. I feel bad.

Don't feel bad, I have those days, too. I keep boiled eggs handy for those times eating out gets too excessive. (protein)


My class is finally over and now I just wait for my grade to be posted.


So my friend adopted a new kitten very recently.

I love kitten, but I can't have one where I live. I bet it is so cute

Oh, she is absolutely adorable! I'm so envious, I haven't been able to adopt one yet.


If my friends hadnt picked me up, id still be at rock bottom!

True friends can be tested at such situations. Good for you to have such friends. It is very rare to have such ones

I try my best to only associate with the best of people.

I have only 2-3 close friends with whom I closely associate. I think that is the ideal number one should have


I recently was worried about a job interview even though I think it went well. I hope I get it.

Good for you. I had couple of interviews couple of years ago. Was very nervous, but thankfully they all went well. My advice, just try to hide your nervousness and show confidence

Thanks, I'll take all the advice I can get!

So when are you expected to hear back for final decision on your hire?


I live really far from my family. I have been missing them a lot lately.

I would be too! Try and find a time you can go back and see them?

We're working on it. It is more about their schedule than mine. I work from home, I can go anywhere any time.

Oh man! That sounds great but bad at the same time!


My girlfriend has been messaging another guy from work a lot recently.

I can't help but feel like they are.  I have asked her about it, and she says they're just talking about work.  Maybe I'm just envious of the attention she's giving.

You should be careful about jumping to conclusions.


My family forgot about me and left me behind at the house this weekend. It felt so weird to be all by myself in the house.

I imagine that must have been quite a lonely experience for you. Did you see any ghosts?

No ghosts, but I did order some pizza and had that delivered to me. A large pizza all for me!


I was shocked when my parents got me a car for graduation

No one has ever given me a car. That must be nice

It was, it runs and that is all I could ask for


I was eating some food at a restaurant when I found a hair in it. I didn't NOT want to eat any more!

I know how you feel that would gross me out too.  Makes me feel like whoever prepared my food was not very clean.

No, it just feels yuck. It pretty much makes you lose your appetite.

I agree, I wouldn't be in the mood to eat after that either, it's disgusting.


Today was my one day to sleep in, and I got woken up early by the construction workers making noise early this morning

Gee, that's no fun. I hope it wasn't too early? There are usually laws about making noise early in the morning.

They started hammering away at 7am.  I think I am going to call their boss and complain.  Maybe ill call him tomorrow at 7am

Yes, that's a good idea. I think 7am is way too early for that.


Yesterday, I was caught taking the bus without paying. I felt so bad.

I had to pay a fine. Everyone was watching me. I had a feeling of guilt and shame.


Every year I'm so excited about Christmas and have all these plans.

Me too, how does Christmas in July work?

I've seen that also, but I'm not sure.  I'm just talking regular Christmas in December LOL!  But it always seems that time slips away from me and all the traditions I want to do with my kids don't get completed.

Maybe keep it simple, and do different things each year. Last year we went on vacation.


I thought I was going to get a tax refund this year.

Yeah, that's always fun! Did you get a lot of money back?

I didn't get any, but luckily I didn't owe either.  I think it is the first time I have seen a zero after I had done my taxes.

That's no fun. I once had to pay in about a $1000 so count yourself lucky!


This time of the year makes me think of the past. I think about football and my parents

I keep forgetting that football season is right around the corner. Did you play when you were younger?

A little bit, it was mostly just watching games with them I remember

Spending time with your parents and watching games can create great memories!


I went to the beach for the first time since I was pretty young, and the smell of the seawater triggered a lot of memories. I didn't find this out until I got back home that memories are sometimes really closely tied to scents.

Oh yes they are! I love it when that happens

It's the first time I've ever experienced it! Oh, and the beach was really nice, too.

Lol! Cool, what kind of memory did it trigger?

My granddad and some of the family were on one of those deep sea fishing boats. I was too young to catch anything, but I remember thinking it was really fun.

Oh you are brave! I LOVE the ocean but I am terrified of being in the middle of it :)


I feel so at peace, and in a good mood today but very stable and relaxed. Yano?

Yeah I love that feeling, you need to cherish it!

I am really I am taking it for as long as I can because it doesnt happen often. lol

That's good, try to figure out what caused it!


i was so happy to see my high school friends at our reunion

That is really sweet my friend. It is nice to see old friends

True! All those old memories started rushing in

Aw, i am missing my high school now that you said it


I hate bullies. Playground or politics, I find them intolerable.

Me too, bullies are part of the reason that I homeschooled.

Good for you! Did you find other ways to interact with kids on better terms?

Well, I was referring to my own kids. They have adjusted well at 17 and 19.


omorrow I'm finally having a day off where I can enjoy going to the mall... I can't wait!

Oooh, that sounds fun. What are you planning on shopping for?

Oh, what a coincidence! I moved into a new apartment as well. You need more stuff than you'd think!


Tv has gotten so good in the past few years

I agree with you! What are you into watching right now?

I just started Sharp Objects. ITs creepy

I've been looking forward to get some time to sit down and watch it, I can't wait!


i found a dead bug in the kitchen today, it looked so nasty! makes me wanna burn the whole house

I understand that, I hate bugs, even alive ones

me too! I know they won't hurt me but for some reason i'm terrified of them


I have a huge fear of heights, so when I went on a plane for the first time, I was the most scared I had ever been

Thats pretty brave of you facing a fear like that.  How did you feel when the flight was over?

Uneasy to say the least. I don't know if I'll be doing it again, ever!

Flights are convenient though.  Definetly faster than driving somewhere


I was moving furniture in between rooms and one of the bookcases fell apart. I got so ticked off.

Oh, I bet that did irritate you! It's bad enough moving, but you don't need your furniture falling apart on you.

Definitely, I figured it was because the wood was cheap. I will make sure not to buy that brand of furniture again!

Yes, and possible it just had too much stuff on it. But, you're right, sometimes it's cheap wood they use.


I broke up with my girlfriend a week ago so now I'm adjusting to single life.

I'm sorry to hear that. That can be a hard adjustment to make.

I agree, I'm taking it one day at a time and I realize that it will be a process.

Everything will work out fine. Stay strong, you're going to find someone that completes you and you will see that it was for the better.


A while back, my older sister stole my younger brother's iPod touch to sell.

That sucks. Did she make a lot of money off of it?

No idea. All I know is that I was furious, especially seeing as my brother is the sweetest most innocent kid ever.

I would've been very angry too. I hope the money went towards something useful.


I knew I was nervous about coming in as a new female coach because working with mostly males can be so intimidating.

I bet so.  I can't imagine the difficulty of having to enter a field like that.

Yeah, on the division 1 level the pressure is always on, no matter the sex

Division 1 is pretty prestigious.  That is very cool, indeed.


I just moved to a new city. i am looking forward to having a new start.

Congratulations! It's not easy moving to a new place, but it's great fun getting to know your new home!

Yes it is. im so optimistic that things will be better for me now that i took a chance and left my old life.

That takes a lot of courage. I'm proud of you! I moved last year and it's both fun and scary at the same time


I found my old Nintendo at my parents. I had so much fun playing it last week.

That sounds like a lot of fun! What were some of your favorite games to play?

I play Super Mario Brothers and Metroid. I even remembered most of the levels. It was really cool.

That is really cool. It's nice that you could rediscover a bit of your childhood.


It was miraculous that Philadelphia beat out New England in the Super Bowl!

I know. The game was full of intrigue. They truly deserved the win

You should definitely get a tattoo of his name on your chest


it annoys me that my wife keeps giving our son a stick even though he hurts himself every single time

i did, she calls me a helicopter parent and just laughs at me


Last night at like midnight the power cut out completely on my street

Oh no, did you have candles and flashlights available?

We luckily had candles around! I was so worried cause it was so fast it was like someone cut our power

Good thing, you have to be prepared for those situations


Our fence fell down. It's going to cost so much to get it fixed.

That is not good, how much will it cost?

Over $1,000 just for the material alone.


Its crazy how sometimes something or someone you havent thought about in a long time can impact you out of no where

Very true. Has this happened to you recently?

Someone that I went to high school with is really sick and it sounds like they might die soon.  Its upsetting to hear news like that.  It makes you think about things.

I am sorry to hear that. News like that can come out of nowhere.


No it is just a party but my girlfriend might show up.

cool, hopefully she does and yall have fun


My best friend has moved to New Zealand and my family is quite far away


Last week I received an award at work for good performance which really made my week!

Well done! Do you get a prize or anything?

Yes actually, a small prize and some recognition which is great as I haven't been working there long.


When I proposed to my wife I knew she was going to say yes I just felt it

Aw. When you know, you know. How did you do it?

I was rather cheesy and proposed to her on christmas

I bet it was really special though! Christmas is such a beautiful time of year. When are you getting married?


My best friend took my daughter for the weekend so that I could have some alone time with my husband.

How nice! Are you going out or are you going to have a nice night in?

She's awesome I'm so thankful for her. We are going out! To see a movie and to eat dinner!

Thats great. I hope you both enjoy yourselves.


I am so sorry to hear that.   What happened?

That is so awful.  I just hate to hear that.  How old was he?


We just got a new puppy, a real water dog. We have been trying to get it to swim and today he did for the first time!

Aww that's so cute! Was it tough trying to get it to swim?

At first, he was curious about the water but had a scared look in his eyes. But he did it!


I'm doing laundry and packing my clothes to fly to see my long distance girlfriend tomorrow. Even though I just saw her a month ago, I'm really looking forward to the trip.

That's pretty cool.  How long have you been together in this relationship

We've been together for six years, long distance the entire time. I go to college, and she has a good job, so we haven't been able to move to one or the other yet. But I'm graduating soon, so we'll see what happens.

Well have a safe flight and make sure you make the most of it!


Last week, my childhood friend came to visit from out of town. I couldn't stop smiling when we hung out.

Great. We were just cracking jokes the whole time. It was good to see him.

Awesome! It's nice to see people who knew you so long ago. No friendships like those!


My friend called me out for being noisy and rude at the dinner last night. It was a rude awakening for me.

Uh oh, do you think you were being rowdy?

Looks like it. And I was making everyone else feel uncomfortable too. i feel so ashamed that I made my own friends feel uneasy.

It's Ok. Everyone can chang ein life. Do you drink too much?


Ive suffered from anxiety and sciatica for years , the anxiety since i was small , one day i ordered cbd oil in hopes it would go away

what is CBD oil? I feel bad for you.. i fell you though, i recently started having bad anxiety attacks, i will see a doctor in 2 weeks

my anxiety went away , and back pain is not ass bad , cbd oil is the extract of cannabis , legal in all states trump made it so , look up the youtube video charlottes web its awesome

I don't think i would ever be comfortable using cannabis. even if it's legal. but i'm really glad it worked for you


I took a licensing exam for the state. I thought it was going to be so easy so I didn't study at all. I ended up failing the test and feeling very frustrated at myself because of my lack of efforts.

Yes but I have to wait a year. In the meantime I can't keep working.


Got a huge delivery. Not even sure I can get it through the door.

Don't think I ordered anything. I don't even recognize the company it's from.

Well better be careful, you might end up opening someone else's mail lol


Today, it is rainning because of that I can't get out. It is boring.

Rainy days are boring, but I do like the sound of them. It's calming in a way

Yea, it is better in moderation. That's true


My wife is the greatest person in my life.

That's really great to hear. I love my wife too. What does she do that make you appreciate her every day?

She cooks and cleans.  I am so thankful to have her!

Mine does the same! It's nice coming home to a clean house everyday.


Im worried that I am going to get fired at work.  I dont know what to do.

Just found out that my partner at work submitted our project, but most of his work was stolen.  I didn’t know that he did this, but I feel ashamed and embarrassed.

Do you plan on discussing this with your boss?


I love Taylor Swift! She's talented and beautiful!

Yes I need to arrive at her concert tonight at  8!


I had just arrived to work, got out of my car and spilled coffee all over myself.

Oh no! That's a terrible way to start your day. Did you still go to work?

Well at least you managed to make it through the day. I probably would have just gone home.


I was upset not to get a response back from a company that I applied for a job at

Oh no, I am sorry to hear that. That really sucks, maybe you can reapply soon?

I suppose I could, but I'm not sure I want to apply again as they didn't treat with any respect, and ignored my application

I can understand that. I think the next company you apply for will be your time to shine!


My son will be turning two in a few months.

what are you going to do for his birthday

We are going to have a small get together with family!


My 15 year old stole a family members bank card number and overdrawn the account by $500. I was so mad I asked him about it and he had the nerve to lie to me even with the proof that I needed

Ugh teenagers can be so troublesome some times! I hope you made him realize what he did was wrong.

Oh I did. I was always told that newborn years was the worse but raising know it all teens is the worse, makes me miss the newborn stage

Yup, but what I don't like about that age is having to stay up all night!


if the braves dont win it all this year im going to be bummed

That's awesome!  I hope they win it all !  They really are a great team.


My dad and I used to play chess together. I miss that.

Why don't you two play chess together anymore?

My father passed away. Unfortunately, our chess playing days are gone.

I'm sorry to hear that. I can only imagine how precious those chess matches were to you. I bet you look back on them fondly.


I think something bad could happen on my vacation. I should cancel.

I don't know. An accident? Something catastrophic?

Just try to relax and not worry so much. Yes something bad could happen but there's also a chance nothing goes wrong. Having anxiety about something can be hard to overcome but you can do it :)


I forgot to put up the leftovers last night and the food was no good.

You could have still eaten it if you were daring.

Well I'm not. And I can't afford to be sick and miss work either.

Bright side, it would have been a great excuse to order pizza.


I just moved out of my parents house into my own apartment.

That must be a wonderful feeling, now you are on your own.

Its is but I don't have anyone to talk to anymore.

Ah, so you are now a loner, you should try to make friends.


I hope I'll get the funding for my experiments

No, I meant I hope you get the funding.  Sounds interesting!!


MY kid loves her new school and she doesnt like anything!

Don't be daft! Kids should never watch tv!

They have tv inside the school do they not?

She likes school because she met a bunch of kids that like anime.

Even I love anime and i stopped watching tv a few years ago, maybe I shall return.


My moms full coverage car insurance won't pay for ANY dental work after her car accident.

So she has had to save $500 per tooth to get them pulled and it's over $800 for each NEW tooth. She has medicare too..but it's always useless it pays for almost nothing and no dental care..Seriously this country does not take care of it's seniors.

That is infuriating. I know how costly healthcare is. Such a shame that we as a country cant do better.


I live in a big city but I leave my car unlock. I'm really not that concerned about it getting stolen.

That's the way I was too and I really haven't changed since I moved and got a car.


I feel guilty about breaking our television

It was, but it was a nice tv in any event, so I feel bad

It was just an accident. There will always be another tv


Anytime I have a family get together coming up, like during the holidays, I get super anxious and worry non-stop about it

Same here.  Is it because of needed prepartations or because of family drama?

Yeah for the most part, I enjoy one side of my family, but other side, I could care less for.  Lots of drama and subtle remarks.

Drama is never good.  I usually don't re-invite people who bring it with them.


I am getting my exam results back tomorrow and I feel scared to even look.

I am sure you did fine. Did you study hard?

Thanks, I did study pretty well (I thought). I suppose I'll have to look at them eventually.

It will be fine! You'll be staring at an A before you know it!


I just celebrated my 35th wedding anniversary and I have never been happier in my marriage!

That is amazing!  So many people do not stay married these days, you should be proud of that accomplishment!

I am,  but I have to attribute most of it to my wife putting up with me for so long.  She is a saint!

It's 100% for both of you!  It takes two to tango you know - Congrats on 35 years!


My son got a remote control car for his birthday. Its really cool.

That's awesome. Did you get him it? I bet he loves it.

No, his grandpa did. But, after he went to bed, I went outside and played with it for a while.

Haha I would've done the same. Those toys always make me lose myself. They're so much fun!


I was left at the alter by the bride to be this weekend.

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that. That must have been awful.

It was and still is.  I was left with the task of returning all the gifts.  All this in the midst of the worst pain I've ever felt in my life.

I can't even imagine what you're going through. I hope your friends and family can help you.


I just got a bonus at work that I wasn't expecting!

It was $180!  I got it for making the most sales of the quarter for my company!

Well great job, get something nice with it, you deserve it!


Nice, what did you have? I am so hungry right now.

I went over to a friend's house and she had made lasagna

Mmm, I love lasagna. Wish I could have come too.


really? i tortoise? i have one in my backyard too!

What are you gonna do with it? I have no idea what kind it is. It has a fat shell.

he is my pet.. i have had him 10 years.. he is about 70lbs now.. got two more little ones inside


When I go to the gym with my girlfriend, she is always looking at the other guys. It makes me feel a bit weird.

I understand where you are coming from. Can you blame her for window shopping though?

Yeah, I guess so. I'm guilty of doing the same things now that I think about it.

Honestly, we all do it. Plus, who cares if she checks out other guys if she is coming home with you!


No- I would never want to be- They are too corrupt here. My neighbor has not come out of his house or let his dogs out in days. I am sure they won't do anything! They don't even show for gun shots..rape..beatings etc.

Dang whereabouts do you live man? I'm in South Texas sometimes cops are like that here too


Yes. It is mostly birds but even a dragon I do not like. I am afraid they will attack me.


I'm having a baby next week... I think I am ready!

Oh congratulations! That's wonderful news.

I am very happy for you. I wish you all the best!


Wow that's so cool, those are a type of reptile right?


Hi I was on the train yesterday and accidentally farted in front of a pretty girl

That is terrible, is it someone you like? or did you not even know her?  I don't know which is worse.

No she was a stranger, She covered her nose and I got super red-faced.

Can you laugh about it now that you look back at it, or has not enough time passed yet?


I written down my notes on a double sided A4 paper, now I just have to wait for the exam which will begin in the next 5 minutes.

Okay that's good to know. Hopefully you pass the test and I hope you studied.

Oh I did, I have been doing it for weeks!

Very nice man. Let me know your exam results when they're released!


For some reason I never liked cloudy weather.

Me neither. It's why I hate living in London

Oh I don't know how you guys do it, you must have artificial sun at home?

Nope. We just remain miserable year round


I'm so happy, My jalapeno plants are producing so many peppers.

That's great news! Congrats! My garden is not doing great this year. Do you grow anything else?

I grow a few other things. Green beans, tomatoes, cucumber, melons, and a few other things


I feel like I wasted a lot of time today because someone blocked my car after work and I couldn't leave.


my best friend friend helped me through some rough spots with my marriage and job. I am gland he was there for me

Thats really nice you have a friend like that.That's hard to come by. I hope everything is better for you now.

thank you, i do not know how i will repay him back, I will always be in his debt

I'm sure he doesn't expect it but thats a really nice thing he did.


Last semester, I had to give a class presentation. My stomach was full of butterflies from the nerves.

All things considered, pretty well. I definitely had some anxiety about it though. Presentations are my least favorite thing in the world.


Every night, around midnight, I hear terrible noises coming from the woods outside of my home.

That sounds scary. I couldn't sleep with that.

Believe me, I'm up for hours after I hear those noises. I wonder what it is; what do you think?

Perhaps it's deer? That's what it's been in my experience.


The other day I was watching a talk show and they started talking about how if you eat a big meal like dinner after 4 hours prior to going to bed, that it results in more rapid weight gain and hinders weight loss! I had never heard that before!

I didn't know the exact timing like that, but it's believable and I know it's harder for the body to use the energy when you eat late.

I suppose it makes sense because your not burning as much calories when laying in bed then you would be otherwise right?

Exactly, and since they don't burn the body turns it into fat to burn later or something like that I think.


I feel for a friend because he got laid off and now cannot send their daughter to college next month

Oh no. I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope things get better for him soon.

Thanks.  I feel for him because my son is starting college too and would feel terrible if I was in his situation

Kids grow up so fast. Will your son be going to college locally or away?


I got a job offer at a different company and the benefits sound good but I'm not sure if i should take it

Nice! If it pays more, then why wouldn't you take it?

I probably will... I'm just comfortable at my current job

Gotta put up with some discomfort to make dat bank.


I had to have a scheduled c-section with my 2nd child.  But it didn't exactly go as planned.

It did, she will be 16 in a month.  But about a week before it was scheduled, I went in for a checkup and my blood pressure was up a bit.  They didn't want to wait and decided to do it right then!

Oh I bet that was a load of anxiety! I can't imagine going through that


I've gotten a raise that'll start in February.

Congratulations!  Are you going to celebrate?

I just did, by telling you...lol. No, I'll be too broke till then.


I can't wait for teh Spanish football season to start

Do you cheer for a specific team or just watch the matches?

I co-own a team (Eibar) so support them.


My dog randomly got up on my couch last week, and just started peeing.. Like what!?!?!??!?!

haha that sucks! did you take him/her out to pee recently?

Not since lunch, so it's actually been about 4 hours.. I hate living on the top floor!


I was just reminiscing with my mother about my childhood.

Oh? What specifically were you talking to her about?

My aspirations when I was younger. We had a good laugh when I read in one of my old journals that I wanted to be a teacher when earlier that day I had stated that I couldn't imagine being a teacher now.

Haha! Well, as we mature, we learn so much more about ourselves.


My cat was playing last nigh and brought it to me.

That sounds like fun. what did it bring to you?

Well, it wasn't one of his toys like I thought. It was a dead mouse

Eww... that's pretty gross. I had a cat once that would bring me dead birds too. I think that means they like you!


When I was a teenager I used to borrow my big sisters clothes without her knowledge.  One time she had just bought a lovely new dress after saving all her wages.  That weekend I borrowed it and of course ripped it!  The next day when she found out she was so angry and i felt terrible.

Oh no! I hope she's forgiven you since then.

oh yes she has, it was a while ago now but at the time the guilt was awful.  Needless to say I learnt my lesson and never borrowed her clothes again!


Yesterday, I spring cleaned my entire house. Then I sat down and enjoyed a book.

That's a great achievement! What book did you decide to read?

Thanks! It was a summer beach novel, so it was an easy read.

Neat! I am trying to find so good books to start reading.


My family used to go apple picking every year when I was young so now I'm starting that tradition with my young kids.

That sounds like a neat tradition. What did you guys do with the apples once they were all picked?

My mom made apple sauce, apple butter, apple pies, and apple turnovers so I have a lot to learn from her!  I'll probably make my specialty which is apple crisp.

Sounds like a bunch of tasty items! My mom used to make a banging apple pie whenever I came home for Thanksgiving. It was the best feeling in the world eating it.


I really like this girl at my job, but I am sort of nervous to ask her out. I am not very confident when it comes to those types of social situations.

You got this bro, just be confident. I believe in you

Yeah, I need to just hype myself up and get it over with.  My coworkers already tell me that she asks about me.

She likes you! If she asks/talks about you then you have a much better chance too.


My cat just died. I have had her for like 20 years.

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that. My cat is getting old, she's 15. I'm scared she'll pass soon too

Yeah  had to put her down because she was in so much pain. I don't know what to do without her.

That's so sad. I hope you feel better soon. I would be so devastated too.


I am eating at my favorite restaurant next week!

I love eating out at a restaurant with great food! Too bad it's too expensive to go every night!

I know that's right, so much more convenient than cooking.

Yeah, I enjoy cooking but it can be so time consuming.


My Mother came into town unannounced.  She hardly ever does that.

No.  Thankfully it was just a visit.  She took us all to dinner, it was nice.

Sounds like everything went better than expected.


I am watching "i am a killer" on netflix

Its crazy to hear people talked so casually about murder. I cant stop watching though


Last year my grandmother passed away. It's still hard to cope with

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Losing a family member is so hard.

It is. I still can't look at old pictures of her.

I miss my grandmother every day. I hope things get easier for you over time.


I drank the last of my roommate's beer last night. He still doesn't know.


Oh that's cool.  Sounds like he's living the dream lol

Do you have any kids of your own...or is he your main / only furbaby


I am feeling very empathetic to someone this week who sometimes I just want to run over! lol

Well that is kind of you. They must really be going through something.

They are mentally ill and the mood swings can be a bit much and seem intentional...as they tend to take it out on me..When they are being good though..it's hard not to be compassionate

That would be a lot to deal with. I hope things stay good for awhile.


I made a girl pregnant without marrying her, I feel so terrible because I am a very religious person

Well, if you provided for your child's care then you shouldn't feel bad. I mean, this isn't the dark ages.

I need to go and confess my sins if not I won't be able to deal with the burden

I am sorry you feel so bad about it. I sincerely believe God will forgive a truly repentant heart.


I homeschool and am used to schooling one child but now I started 2 kids in school this year and I'm not sure if I'll be able to juggle it well.

That would be hard, can one work independently?

For some things they both can work independently so I'm trying to pair those subjects up and then do some subjects together with both of them.  I hope I'm doing well enough!

I'm sure you are doing an amazing job, you seem to care which makes you a great parent.


Came home to absolutely no one. I wonder where they all went.

As long as they're ok. No one left a note or anything.


I don't get mad easy.  But if there's anything that ticks me off a lot it's someone who tries too hard to make an impression.  Like if I like you I like you if I don't I don't it's that simple really haha

Some people don't realize it's just as easy as being comfortable being yourself to be accepted.

Are you gonna have to see this person again?


I had to give a big presentation at work today. I prepared really hard for it. Unfortunatley when it became time for me to present I got really nervous and just froze up.

Sadly yes... I don't know how I'll get over it though.

You will be fine. Do your best the next time!


I accidentally left my dog outside in the heat for too long recently.

Oh no!  Was he OK?  I hope there was no permanent damage!

Yes he was fine after a few hours but he was certainly acting strange at first.

That had to be really scary for you.  I bet you will never make that mistake again!


You certainly are lucky to have a dad, me too!


I just took a very hard test in math. Tomorrow I will see how I did

Great then! You can ace any "hard" test as long as you put in the work and time! I hope you did well.


My friend was very supportive when I was in distress

I'm sorry to hear you were feeling that way.

What types of encouragement was your friend saying to you?


There was a guy I liked and my friend knew it but she set him up with our other friend instead!

What a mean friend person. Did you get mad?

I was really upset especially since they are seriously dating now and I have to see them everywhere!

yes, true, but there's probably someone out there better than him!
