[User] It felt really strange to be by myself. But I got used to it.

[User] Were you ever scared?


[System] afraid: Earlier a guy cut me off on the road, he was driving a box truck and I saw my life flash before my eyes.

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

[User] Oh no! Are they even allowed to do that?

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

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


[System] grateful: My car had a bat hanging out the back, and I was about to get on the highway. A nice person stopped me and let me know so it wouldn't fly out

[User] So, I got done with a game and I had a bat that sort of fell loose in the back of my car. It could have been bad since I didn't have the back on it, but luckily someone stopped me before I got on the highway!

[Assistant] Oh wow. Glad that person helped you out there.

[User] Me too. It could have led to a very, very bad accident for someone else.

[System] sad: I moved to another state and my family was left behind.

[User] I moved to another state and my family was left behind

[User] I got a job offer but, i'm not sure if I should take it.

[Assistant] How come?

[User] Similar pay, possibly more room for advancement but, I don't know anyone that works there.   So I could be moving over to a place with similar pay  benefits and stepping into some sort of fresh hell

[Assistant] That's definitely concern. Is there no more room for advancement at  your current job?

[User] Not unless we have an ebola outbreak or people start getting cancer.


[System] anxious: I haven't heard from my girlfriend in 2 weeks. Wonder what's going on?

[Assistant] I haven't heard from my girlfriend in 2 weeks. Wonder what's going on?

[Assistant] I was afraid of that.

[User] Women, amirite?

[User] That sounds very exciting -- if nervewracking! How did it go for him? (And you ;-))

[Assistant] I thought I'd die of nerves, but it went great! He is a pitcher and had a rough warm-up in the bullpen, so I was worried. But when it was his turn to take the mound, it went great!

[User] That is the *best* feeling seeing hard work pay off! You much have been so happy for and proud of him!

[System] caring: My friend adopted a really elderly dog. I'm so proud of her.

[Assistant] My friend adopted a really elderly dog. I'm so proud of her.

[User] Oh that's nice! Most people don't adopt older dogs

[Assistant] Yea, they don't. They're probably afraid of loss and of course, the medical bills.

[Assistant] Not christmas no, New years is still decent for me. Everytime I think of christmas my mind just goes red.

[User] Do your parents feel terrible about that? (Not that you want them to....I just imagine they'd be pretty devastated to know that's why a holiday was ruined for you.) On the other hand -- I LOVE New Years!

[User] Awesome! I've never been able to sit that long, so getting really good at video games is hard for me

[User] Well, no matter what you're doing, it's always great to keep practicing and get better. I feel like I can take on anyone now!

[User] That's neat. I wish I had your motivation for...well...everything else in life.

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

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

[Assistant] Well, I try. I moved to Alabama after the divorce and the kids hate it here.


[System] proud: that i made a nice meal. from homemade

[User] Oh wow, sorry to hear, that was really rude of her.

[Assistant] that was very stupid of her , it seemed kind of racist to me

[User] Some people can take things so far. I hate it when they do that.

[System] hopeful: I was in college taking exams, and I was trying my best to get an A

[Assistant] Hey, how's it going?

[User] Going good...what's up with you.

[Assistant] Nothing much. Just thinking about the time when I was still in college and had exams, and how hard that was. Sitting there wishing I was going to get an A at the end of it

[User] So how did  you do? Did the hard work pay off for you?

[Assistant] I didn't get an A, but I ended up getting good enough grades to pass. So, I guess that's something


[System] afraid: I was driving through flood waters and my car stalled out.

[System] ashamed: I lied to my girlfriend about how much education I had

[Assistant] So, I lied to my girlfriend about how much education I had

[User] why would you do that

[Assistant] Well because she's a little older and I felt like I was lagging behind her in life

[User] I am not sure I get it

[Assistant] Well, basically she had already graduated and had a good job, and I was someone who hadn't completed college yet. But I wanted her to stay with me and not break up, so I lied


[System] impressed: I was impressed on my first day of my senior year in high school. The new science teacher was talking about things I liked

[User] My first day of my senior year impressed me when I met the new science teacher. He was cool and made it easy for everyone

[User] I was approached by a man that I did not know while walking in the park

[User] What did you do?

[User] He wanted money. I told him I didn't have any and kept walking. I think my dog might have scared him off.

[User] Did the dog bark at him?


[System] disappointed: my friend did something bad to me

[Assistant] I am not in the best mood today. I wish it turned out differently.

[Assistant] That sounds terrible. Sorry to hear that. What exactly happened?

[Assistant] My friend did something behind my back against me.

[Assistant] That's the worst, when you personally know someone that treated you badly. I hope things turn out better for you.


[System] surprised: Found out my roommate got a cat while I was gone, which was a little shocking

[Assistant] Found out my roommate got a cat while I was gone, which was a little shocking

[Assistant] oh no.. are you upset?

[Assistant] I was at first. But now it's okay. The cat is actually kind of nice and affectionate.

[Assistant] awh thats good it turned out well afterall


[System] apprehensive: I went to a new school my sophomore year. I was just leary about the whole thing

[User] I was scared and worried when it came to going to a new high school my sophomore year. I was not sure how it would go

[Assistant] Yeah, I think most people feel that way, but it's still a valid feeling. How did it end up?

[User] It was okay eventually

[Assistant] that's great to hear! Did you have any cool teachers or make any new friends?

[User] At first no, but it did get better


[System] embarrassed: I walked into the wrong class on the first day of college

[Assistant] I walked into the wrong class on the first day of college

[User] I bet that was a little scary

[Assistant] It wasn't as much scary as it was embarrassing and silly. I was too nervous to get up and leave, so I just stayed in the wrong class the whole time...

[User] Oh well, I am sure most people forgot about it quickly

[Assistant] Oh yeah, I never saw them again. I basically just missed the first class of my actual class, no big deal.


[System] proud: My son finally passed his swim class.

[User] After having to retake the class twice, my son finally passed his swimming test and can move on to the next level!

[Assistant] Thats awesome! Im glad you persisted because that is so important these days, not being able to swim is a real danger!

[User] It is and he had some struggles at first but I'm glad he stuck to it as well! He could have easily given up and put up a fight about continuing to attend class!

[Assistant] Yes, sounds like your doing a great job with the little guy!


[System] guilty: My dog was running around in my yard the other day, and she came inside and was being really mean to everyone. Upon closer look she had a splinter in her paw from wood that my other dog chewed up on the porch that I had not cleaned up yet. I felt bad.

[Assistant] My dog was running around in my yard the other day, and she came inside and was being really mean to everyone. Upon closer look she had a splinter in her paw from wood that my other dog chewed up on the porch that I had not cleaned up yet. I felt bad.

[User] Oh no, did it take you a long time to figure out what the issue was?

[Assistant] Well not really she kept putting her paw up and not wanting to walk on it, I think it took longer to get her to let me see it.

[User] Dogs can be a little squeamish when it comes to that sort of thing. I wouldn't feel bad, it could happen to anyone!


[System] joyful: I had a baby last month, so happy.

[User] I had a baby last month, so happy.

[User] I know you are over the moon. What did you have?

[System] proud: i got a dream house!

[Assistant] Makes sense. when you know what you want, you should go for it. Well, I'm happy for you. I'm far away from being able to do that.


[System] nostalgic: Seeing pictures from my summer vacation a month ago with my long distance girlfriend, makes me feel both happy and sad

[Assistant] Seeing pictures from my summer vacation a month ago with my long distance girlfriend, makes me feel both happy and sad

[User] I bet you had a wonderful time together

[Assistant] We really did. We did a lot of physical activity, hiking, and we did have one or two fights, but I miss that time

[User] how fun! Where did you guys go?

[Assistant] We went to Colorado and hiked the base of the rocky mountains


[System] excited: I was excited when I was accepted into graduate school

[User] I was excited when I was accepted into graduate school

[User] I bet

[User] it was a weight off my back more so

[User] That is good to hear, less weight the better


[System] disappointed: I failed a science test early on in high school. I was just ashamed at how I did

[User] I failed a test early on in high school. I was real ashamed at how I did

[User] why would you do that

[User] Wow, I am sorry to hear that, that must have not been fun...


[System] anxious: I was hit by a tornado in the middle of the night and now I can't stand big storms.

[Assistant] I am so super scared of big storms.

[User] The loud roars also make my dog shake and run to the basement

[Assistant] Well the basement is the safest place. I freak out over thunder, too.

[User] My dog never used to do that, it was only just recently that he started doing that.


[System] angry: I was driving through the parking lot the other day and someone backed into my new SUV!

[User] The lady accused me of being at fault for not honking my horn!

[Assistant] Oh no, was anoyone hurt?

[User] Thankfully no

[Assistant] That is good news, I hope your car is ok.

[User] I have to get an estimate soon but it is still driveable.


[System] impressed: I was impressed when my best friend graduated as valedictorian of our class

[User] I was impressed when my best friend graduated as valedictorian of our class

[User] You must have been so proud of their hard work.

[User] I was, they tried their hardest and earned it

[User] Was it a large graduating class?


[System] grateful: I had a flat tire while driving on the interstate. A nice man stopped to help me.

[User] I had a flat tire while driving on the interstate. A nice man stopped to help me

[User] Wow, I am glad you got help, that could have been a lot worse

[User] You are so right. I offered to pay but he would not take it.

[User] That is so sweet of him, those are the people we need more of in the world


[System] terrified: Riding a big roller coaster for the first time while having a fear of heights, I was kind of worried how I would do

[Assistant] Riding a big roller coaster for the first time while having a fear of heights, I was kind of worried how I would do

[Assistant] how was the experience?

[Assistant] It was great in the end. A little nerve-wracking doing it, but eventually after it was over, I had a lot of adrenaline and pride in doing it

[Assistant] It was good you got over the fear, do you ride roller coasters more now?

[Assistant] I do, yeah! I'm still nervous about them, but it usually ends up being okay.


[System] terrified: almost having a car crash

[Assistant] I was almost in a nasty car crash earlier

[Assistant] Oh my gosh, that's terrible. How did that happen

[Assistant] A truck was in the middle of the road on a tight country road

[Assistant] That's one of my worst fears when I drive to my girlfriend's parents' house. So everything ended up being okay, though?

[User] I believe I did rather well on my Law School Admissions Test.

[User] what do you think your score was?

[User] I am hoping for at least in the 150 range.

[User] I am hoping to go to Mitchell Hamline in Minnesota or Syracuse

[User] Good luck!

[User] Thank you, I should hear something in the next two weeks


[System] devastated: I was shocked when Lebron left the Cavs again

[User] I was shocked when Lebron left the cavs again!

[User] I too was surprised.  To leave the team again sort of upset me.

[User] Yea, I didnt think he had it in him but I guess you can blame the cavs owner for that as well.

[User] He is a legend in the making


[System] nostalgic: When I think about a certain even with my parents that involved a dinner party, I get very nostalgic. I just think it was a fun time and I miss it

[User] I get nostalgic when I think about times with my parents in the past. A lot of different get togethers make me feel that way

[User] I feel the same way. The times you spend with family should be cherished forever.

[User] Yeah, its times like that make me who I am today I feel like

[User] I agree, be grateful for those in your life because they help you become a better person.

[System] surprised: My husband has never planned a date on his own since we were married. This weekend he is taking me on a trip, I'm so excited.

[User] My husband hasn't planned a date for the two of us since we were married. Usually he looks for my input. I just found out that he is taking me somewhere special for the weekend. I can't wait!

[User] That is sweet of him, marriage can be tough at first, so at least he is trying

[User] It can be, I also think life gets in the way sometimes. Things aren't always picture perfect as we hope.

[User] That is true, marriage is great in a vaccuum, but life pops the bag sometimes


[System] confident: I was confident when I won honor society preisdent in high school, I beat a really popular girl

[User] I was confident when I won honor society preisdent in high school, I beat a really popular girl

[User] Was it a long campaign?

[User] A few days, but it felt like forever at the time

[User] I bet it did


[System] proud: It felt good when Lebron left the Cavs for the Lakers

[User] It felt good when Lebron left the Cavs for the Lakers

[User] Why is that?

[User] Cause the cavs owner is an awful owner.  The way he threw Lebron under the bus and talks trash about him.

[User] Lebron isnt a saint though


[System] confident: When I studied all night for a test in science in high school, I felt confident. I just knew I was going to do well

[User] I felt confident when I was able to study all night for a science test. I just knew I was going to do well

[System] apprehensive: I am nervous about going to law school soon

[User] I will be starting Law School in January.

[User] I am.  It is a goal I have had but have never made the jump until now.

[Assistant] Well, you sound confident. And applying and getting in is one of the toughest steps, so I'm sure you'll do fine.

[System] proud: I got all As in my first college semester, and it made me feel really good about myself

[Assistant] I got all As in my first college semester, and it made me feel really good about myself

[User] Wow. That is great.  Not everyone can say that.

[Assistant] No, but I do think they made it a little easy to get As in some classes, especially the general education courses. I got an A in biology and definitely don't remember much from it

[User] Most struggle in their first year.  That is amazing that you did so well.

[Assistant] I appreciate it. I'm a little bit of an older student, so I didn't have much to worry about in the way of feeling overwhelmed

[User] I am an older student too so I hope things go well for me in school.


[System] angry: Asked a relative to care for our pet while we were gone and the dog ended up missing.

[User] Asked a relative to care for our pet while we were gone and the dog ended up missing.

[User] Oh no, did the relative say what happened? That sounds fishy.

[User] That he got out and he was unable to find him.  Things are known to go missing when my brother in law is around.  We should have known better.

[User] It's an easy mistake to make, we're supposed to trust family, you know?


[System] anticipating: I'm going on my first trip to Disney World in a few weeks. I can't wait!

[User] In a few weeks I'm going on my first ever trip to Disney World! It's taken me 30 years to get there and I can't wait.

[User] It wasn't easy. I was working too but I did it.

[User] All that hard work was worth it I am sure


[System] apprehensive: I was not sure if I needed to accept this new job offer. I just did not know anyone there

[User] I was not sure I wanted to accept a new job offer. I did not know anyone at this job

[User] Making a change can be hard. Did you take the offer?

[User] I did not, I was not sure enough

[User] It's always best to do nothing if your not sure.


[System] disappointed: I procrastinated on turning in a paper for a college class, and she ended up giving me a D for the course overall.

[Assistant] I procrastinated on turning in a paper for a college class, and she ended up giving me a D for the course overall

[User] were you able to do any extra credit to bring up the grade?

[Assistant] I had some that I did, yeah, during the year. And she counted it towards the overall grade, but I don't feel like it counted for as much as it should have.

[User] That stinks. There's always next time!

[Assistant] I guess. I did end up passing and being able to move on, so there's that.


[System] disgusted: I was disgusted the way the cavs owner treated Lebron during his two stints with the team

[User] I was disgusted the way the cavs owner treated Lebron during his two stints with the team

[Assistant] Oh, very interesting. I'm not a fan of the owner either. Why do you feel that way, though?

[User] I think owners should be professional because everyone is watching.  You treat your star like that? how do you treat the little average joe on the team.

[Assistant] That's a fair point. But Lebron James is different, and probably seeks to try to really control the team he is on, so that can be difficult too


[System] ashamed: My friend and I got into an awful fight, she won't forgive me.

[User] My best friend for years and I got into a fight, I said some things I regret out of anger, she won't forgive me. This is awful.

[User] how long have you two known eachother?

[User] 15 years, it's so very bad.

[User] I think you just need to give it time. Hopefully she will come around.


[System] hopeful: I was hoping to get a new pet this year!

[User] I was hoping to get a new pet this year!

[User] What were you thinking? Have you been thinking it over for a long time?

[User] No, we gave one of our bearded dragons away to a relative who is a teacher, however its too much for her and she wants to give him back

[User] Was she keeping him in her classroom? I can see how that can be a lot of work.


[System] faithful: I have always been faithful to my grilfriend of 2.5 years

[User] I have always been faithful to my girlfriend of 2.5 years

[Assistant] That's nice. Hard to find nowadays.

[User] That is for sure, you see so many bad stories around the enws and people

[Assistant] I know. I wish things were better!


[System] sentimental: I miss being a kid. Adulting is terrible

[Assistant] I miss being a kid.

[User] I do too honestly, I used to play all these fun games with our neighbors late summer nights, it was amazing, but I took it for granted

[Assistant] I am tired of paying bills lol.

[User] I hear you there, that is the worst part!

[Assistant] Things should be cheaper


[System] nostalgic:  I get nostalgic thinking about all the games I used to lpay with my friends on our street

[User] I get nostalgic thinking about all the games I used to lpay with my friends on our street

[User] I remember those games too. What kinds did you play? My favorite was flashlight tag.

[User] Ball tag, ghost in the graveyard, kick the can, all the best games haha

[User] Ghost in the graveyard was a blast! I can't believe I forgot that one. It sounds like we both had great childhoods.


[System] jealous: All of my friends have these great jobs and travel so often, it isn't fair.

[User] All of my friends have these great jobs and they get to travel to awesome places so often. It's not fair, having to watch them jetset and have a blast while I'm stuck working all the time.

[User] I get that, I am not sure how some of these people can afford the places they go!

[User] It's ridiculous, everyone has to be so showy.

[User] Yeah, that is not me at all, I barely post anything to people online


[System] surprised:  was surprised when my parents gave me a car as my graduation present from college

[User] i was surprised when my parents gave me a car as my graduation present from college

[User] How exciting for you. What kind of car is it?

[User] It was a ford focus, it was actually a car I had and was in the process of paying off, and they just gave it to me!

[User] That was so generous of them.


[System] guilty: I told something to someone that I had promised to keep a secret.

[User] I told something to someone that I had promised to keep a secret.

[User] That is not nice! People do that all the time as long as the person they tell is closer to them

[User] I felt bad afterwards for what had happened. I am a very nice person.

[User] Everyone believes that of course, but I believe you, people make mistakes


[System] prepared: School is about to start and we have everything we need.

[Assistant] School is about to start. We are ready.

[User] Ugh I remember those days! All the shopping, making sure to look good for the first day! good times

[Assistant] Yep. My daughter is so excited. I am glad summer is over.

[User] Me too, I am looking forward to winter and christmas, much better in my opinion!

[Assistant] I like spring because the weather is so nice.


[System] faithful: I have always been faithful to my girlfriend of 2.5 years

[User] I have always been faithful to my girlfriend of 2.5 years

[Assistant] congratulations. marry her

[User] I am thinking about it, we are still young

[Assistant] then maybe you should cheat.

[User] Where did you go to college.


[System] ashamed: I think I sometimes enjoy it too much when my kids leave for the weekend.

[Assistant] I feel bad. I had too much fun while my kids were gone and I want them to stay away for another day.

[User] Nothing wrong with that.

[Assistant] Are you sure? I think its bad

[User] No, only one extra day isn't bad.

[Assistant] Cool.


[System] anticipating: I can not wait for Top Gun 2.

[User] I can not wait for Top Gun 2.

[Assistant] IS that a real thing?

[User] Yes, they are filming it now.

[Assistant] Wow. The first one is so old now.


[System] surprised: I found a winning scratch off ticket on the side of the road!

[User] You won't believe this but I found a winning scratch off ticket on the side of the road!

[Assistant] That's amazing!  How much did you win and what did you buy with it?

[User] $50 and I haven't spent it on anything yet! I'm behind on my cable bill so it will probably go towards that! What a wonderful thing to happen!

[Assistant] Smart move!  Good for you for deciding to use it responsibly.


[System] proud: My daughter had her first dance recital and remembered all the steps!

[Assistant] My daughter just had her first dance recital and remembered all the steps!  It was great to watch!

[User] That's so sweet! Always a special moment, how old is she?

[Assistant] She is 3!  I still can't believe she was able to perform so well!

[User] I bet you are so proud!


[System] lonely: My wife is off to her mom's, stuck alone at my home!!

[Assistant] My wife went to her Mom's place. so bored without her

[User] I can understand that. My husband went to a friends to work on his car. I'm home with 5 kids!

[Assistant] No need to worry about loneliness then.

[User] Ha ha! No loneliness here. I think the biggest worry is craziness.


[System] disappointed: My family has fallen on hard times. We got to the point that we couldn't catch up on our car note. One day the tow company came and hauled it away. I felt really let down and didn't know what I should do.

[User] When we lost our car I felt lost. How do you put your life back together without transportation.

[Assistant] oh how sad, how did you lose your car?. Public transportation is not every one's cup of tea..

[User] My husband lost his job and we got behind. We also live in a rural area about 15 minutes from town and an hour to the closest big city.

[Assistant] you guy's will get back everything you have lost. It is difficult for travel as you said

[User] Thank you for the kind words. I hope so. I try to take it one day at a time.


[System] disgusted: My new SUV was hit in the parking lot yesterday

[User] someone backed into me in the parking lot yesterday because they didnt look in their mirror.

[Assistant] oh no, that is unfortunate. are you alright?

[User] Yes.  The first thing they said when they got out of their car was "I don't have insurance."

[Assistant] wow, you might just have bad luck

[User] I believe I do because it was the third straight time someone has hit me without insurance.

[Assistant] i would just take an uber from now on if i were you.


[System] excited: very recently i got back into cooking. i've always loved it and it makes me so happy. i recently made some jerk chick philly cheesesteaks and seeing an idea come to life right in front of my eyes was so exhilarating.

[Assistant] very recently i got back into cooking. i've always loved it and it makes me so happy. i recently made some jerk chick philly cheesesteaks and seeing an idea come to life right in front of my eyes was so exhilarating.

[User] Thats sounds so delicious.  How did it turn out?

[Assistant] it went pretty well. i didn't use the kind of bread i originally wanted, but potato bread is never a bad choice either.

[User] Did everyone else enjoy your new found passion for cooking?

[Assistant] yes, my family has found it to be very beneficial for themselves.


[System] proud: I loved celebration July 4th this year.

[User] I loved celebrating July 4th this year.

[User] That's always a great holiday. What did you do to celebrate?

[User] I shot off fireworks and had a BBQ.

[User] Sounds like a great time! Did you celebrate with family or friends?


[System] sad: I didn't get the promotion I worked so hard for.

[User] I'm super bummed out. I worked really hard for this promotion and I ended up not getting it.

[User] I'm super bummed out. I worked really hard for this promotion and I ended up not getting it.

[User] Why didn't you get it?

[User] I'm not sure, my boss won't return my request for a meeting emails.


[System] anticipating: School is going to start in a few weeks. Not looking forward to it.

[Assistant] School is going to start in a few weeks. Not looking forward to it.

[User] I'm excited personally, I guess you have to like your school and what you're studying.

[Assistant] Yeah, I do like it. It will be nice in some ways. But I'm not looking forward to having to write papers.

[User] I hate writing papers too. That's why I am an engineering major. Lol its still pretty hard though.


[System] excited: I get to visit my long distance girlfriend in less than a week!

[Assistant] I get to visit my long distance girlfriend in less than a week!

[User] I bet you are excited for that

[Assistant] Yeah, no kidding. I love traveling, and obviously love seeing her. Gonna suck that it only lasts a couple weeks though.

[User] Yeah, it's always hard to leave in those situations. Are you flying to see her?


[System] joyful: I felt so much wonder and awe when I went to the beach. I was surrounded by such profound beauty, and I spent my entire day swimming, sunbathing, and laughing with my partner. It made me so happy.

[User] I went to the beach a few weeks ago, and it was great. The beach is so beautiful and serene

[Assistant] I live near the beach, too! It really is great. Although I've been out of town for a while, so I haven't been to it yet this summer. I'm glad you got to go there.

[User] Lucky you to be so close! Yeah, I had so much fun, especially since I could spend a lot of time with my partner and a lot of time swimming!

[Assistant] Only thing I'm not wild about is dealing with cleaning up afterwards.


[System] guilty: Yesterday was my brother's birthday and I forgot to call him. I always call him on his birthday and we go to lunch. I feel so bad.

[Assistant] I usually take my brother to lunch for his birthday, but not this year. His birthday was yesterday.

[User] Why weren't you able to do it?

[Assistant] I forgot about his birthday. I didn't even call him!

[User] Oh man that sucks, do you feel bad about it?

[Assistant] Yes. Horrible!

[User] I'm sure if you apologize he'll understand at least a little. Were you just really busy or something?


[System] content: I'm in a current situation with my mother where I am not feeling as caring as I used to be. This is because of how she acted towards me when my father was in hospice and watching him suffer through his last days.

[Assistant] My mom said some pretty offensive things to me while my dad was in hospice. It's hard to forgive her for them.

[User] Sometimes people say things they don't mean when their angry. Maybe you should just let it go.

[Assistant] Her personality is pretty direct so I have gotten used to her being offensive. This time it was more personal so it's harder to let it go.

[User] Well, you both have the same blood, so I would advise just to let bygones be bygones.


[System] content: Doing pretty good at work today. Feeling like things are going my way.

[Assistant] Doing pretty good at work today. Feeling like things are going my way.

[Assistant] thats awesome, love the positive vibes. good for you!

[Assistant] Thanks. Yeah, just started the job a month ago. Finally starting to get the hang of it. I work in construction.

[Assistant] good paying job and keeps you active!


[System] hopeful: that i will find love

[Assistant] I am in a good mood today. I think I might have found someone special.

[Assistant] Whoa... that's awesome. I love hearing that. Can you tell me about them?

[Assistant] of course, shes super smart and beautiful - 2 killer combos.

[Assistant] Absolutely. I'm glad you're experiencing that. Me on the other hand, I'd be worried that I wasn't good enough for them. But I'm sure things will work out for you.


[System] lonely: My girlfriend and I are in a long distance relationship. It's rough sometimes not always having the person you love the most around

[Assistant] My girlfriend and I are in a long distance relationship. It's rough sometimes not always having the person you love the most around

[Assistant] Yes it is... when can you see her again?

[Assistant] Not for four months, when she comes to visit for Thanksgiving. She isn't able to take a lot of time off of work.

[Assistant] well i hope you two get to spend a lot of time together when she comes up


[System] furious: my child lied to me

[Assistant] I am trying to keep my cool but its pretty hard right now.

[Assistant] That sounds like trouble. What exactly is going on?

[Assistant] Oh it is.. I caught my child telling a lie to me.

[Assistant] Dang! I'm not a parent, but I have siblings who have done the same (and of course I've done it to my parents, too). Any idea what you're going to do?
