[System] nostalgic: I was browsing through my old cd collection and found a bunch of old pc games i used to play. Some of the classics like command and conquer, age of empires, warcraft.

[User] I found huge box full of my old cd's recently, found a ton of old pc games i used to play, reminded me of a simpler time!

[Assistant] Awesome! Did you play any of them after you found the box?

[User] I did, i played a few sessions of age of empires and i plan to play some command and conquer red alert tonight before bed, still great games.

[Assistant] Neat! I haven't played them. Even though everything is becoming digital, I find there is something special about the physical copies!


[System] devastated: I got turned down for a job I really wanted.  I'd worked extremely hard to put myself in a position to have a decent chance of getting it, and I thought I interviewed really well.  But when I found out someone else got the job I was extremely disappointed and demoralized.

[User] I got turned down for a job I really wanted.

[User] Ugh, sorry! You must be disappointed. But remember if the door doesn't open, it probably wasn't yours. There's something else in store for you!

[User] Thanks.  But yes, I was really dejected.  I thought I'd interviewed well and had a good enough resume.

[User] Sometimes they already have a candidate in mind but have to go through the motion...the same thing happened to my husband. Your time will come.


[System] hopeful: After my wife left me, i've been trying to better myself and have a prosperous future. I'm looking to make positive changes and am optimistic about the future.

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

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

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

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


[System] trusting: I bought a 20 foot boat. I believe it will be able to handle the large lake that I will be taking it on.

[Assistant] I bought a 20 foot boat. I believe it will be able to handle the large lake that I will be taking it on.

[Assistant] Wow! A 20 foot boat, that must be amazing to take out on the lake! How much did it cost you?

[Assistant] It cost me around $30,000. It has all the latest features, that should keep me safe in all but the most extreme conditions.

[Assistant] Id love to own a boat, are you using it for leisure or fishing etc?

[Assistant] It has been a dream of mine for a long time. I am mainly going to use it for fishing. But might have to take my wife tubing to make her happy.

[Assistant] They both sound like great plans! Tubing would be a great way to keep her happy while you fish haha!

[Assistant] We should have a lot of fun this summer with it! Makes up for all the hard work saving up for it.

[Assistant] I hope you do! It makes you feel like you've actually earned it!


[System] trusting: I don't like loaning money to friends because a lot of the time it doesn't get paid back or ruins the friendship. I recently loaned my friend some money because of her situation not counting on getting it back but I did.

[Assistant] I like like loaning money to friends. It can ruin friendships and sometimes doesn't get paid back.

[User] I'm always leery of loaning money to friends

[Assistant] Yeah, I meant don't like, sorry. I recently lent some to my friend with no expectation of getting it back because of her hard situation. I actually got it back.

[User] That was a nice surprise!  I have tried lending money to friends but finally had to stop after never getting it back


[System] devastated: Late last summer, my dog went missing. I caleld everyone in the neighborhood to see if they had seen him. I spent hours looking for him and i checked all of the shelters for about a week. We eventually found his body. He had gotten trapped under a neighbor's house and could not get out.

[User] Last summer, my dog went missing. We looked for him everywhere and called all of our neighbors. No one had seen him.

[Assistant] Oh no! How sad! Did you ever find him?

[User] After a week of looking for him and checking the shelters, a neighbor found his body under her house. He had gotten under there and couldn't find a way out. I was so heart broken and so were my daughters.

[Assistant] Oh, how awful! I'm so sorry!


[System] content: I really enjoy going out and skating with my kids in the evening. Its the most fun part of my day.

[Assistant] I try to skateboard with my kids everyday. They love it, and it makes me feel young again.

[User] Wow, very cool. The last time i tried to skateboard i almost broke my tailbone. props to you though!

[Assistant] It can be scary some times, but its worth it.

[User] Is it though? haha. If you can do it without falling down then you are doing better than me. Probably a good bonding experience i'd imagine.


[System] disappointed: Half of my family didn't show up for my kids 6th birthday, it was upsetting to say the least. She was looking forward to seeing them.

[User] My daughters 6th birthday was recently, unfortunately her mothers side of the family didn't show up, even though they all rsvp'd

[Assistant] Too bad for them! My sons 6th birthday was just last week, and we had a fun party. There so much easier to please when their little lol.

[User] Hah yea, she was sad at first but there was plenty of presents and people who love her around to distract her. They grow up fast.

[Assistant] They do. I can't believe how fast the time goes.


[System] ashamed: I missed a chance to get a new job the other week. I really wish I had put my resume in sooner.

[Assistant] The other week, a friend of mine told me there was an opening where he worked and to get him a resume. I took to long to get my resume together and they gave the job to someone else.

[Assistant] That must have been aggravating! Job hunting is so hard.

[Assistant] It would have been nice. Less pay, but I would have had to work less. Oh well, guess I'll try harder next time.

[Assistant] Maybe something better will come along!


[System] ashamed: The other day I was running late. So, I jumped up and threw on some clean clothes. After I did half of my errands I noticed the shirt I was wearing was stained all over with grease.

[Assistant] The other day I was running late. So, I jumped up and threw on some clothes then ran out of the house.

[Assistant] Well I hope you got there in time and nothing bad happened.

[Assistant] I did but when after I was out for a while I noticed the shirt I was wearing was covered in grease stains. I apparently washed it with my husbands work clothes.

[Assistant] Oh know! I hope you weren't heading to a job interview, haha.


[System] embarrassed: I pooed my pants one day at work. I have MS and sometimes during flare ups i have bowel control problems.

[Assistant] I have MS, and sometimes I have bowl problems.

[Assistant] I'm so sorry. Have you tried any natural remedies?

[Assistant] No, I've tried science remedies. I like those kinds better.

[Assistant] I hope you find something that gives you some relief!


[System] jealous: My son got a cool remote control car for his birthday. It was really cool. After he went to bed I took it outside and played with it for a while.

[Assistant] My son got a remote control car for his birthday. Its really cool.

[User] That's awesome. Did you get him it? I bet he loves it.

[Assistant] No, his grandpa did. But, after he went to bed, I went outside and played with it for a while.

[User] Haha I would've done the same. Those toys always make me lose myself. They're so much fun!


[System] furious: The other day I seen someone had broken into my car. They didn't take anything. I'm not sure if I should feel violated, or bad because I had nothing worth stealing.

[Assistant] Someone broke into my car the other day, but they didnt steal anything.

[Assistant] Wow you were lucky! It has happened to me before too. It feels so violating.

[Assistant] I know! I feel both violated and kind of sad because I have nothing in my car worth stealing.

[Assistant] Because you were not in it. :)


[System] caring: There was an elderly lady at my church who was blind, but she was faithful about coming to church. Different church members helped her to and from her seat and to and from the preacher's car since he was the one who picked her up. Every time I saw that she needed help, I tried to direct her using words like " go a little to your left or right". She recently passed away. I miss her.

[User] There was an elderly lady at my church who was blind and could not hear well so you had to talk really loud for her to hear you. She was very faithful about coming to church so our preacher picked her up and took her home for every service. When she needed help, we took turns helping her.

[Assistant] That is so nice of you all! I know she appreciates it.

[User] When I saw that she needed help, I always tried to give her directions based on where she was with her walker. I liked helping her. She recently passed away and I miss her.

[Assistant] Aww, I'm so sorry but know you made a difference in her life.

[User] Yes, she loved everyone she met. She would say she couldn't remember everyone's names, but she loved them anyway.


[System] hopeful: my son went for his first day of kindergarten. He likes it so far so thats good.

[Assistant] I took my son to kindergarten the other day. He loves it so far!

[User] First day of school I remember ,my kids first day of school, how did it make you feel?

[User] And tons of pics!  I try to take pictures of everything.


[System] devastated: I couldn't believe Aretha Franklin passed away last week.

[Assistant] Neither could I.  It was the first thing that was on the news right after I woke up.

[System] content: Just finished eating dinner.  We had red beans and rice with sausage.  I'm as full as a tick!

[User] I just finished eating dinner.  We had red beans and rice and with sausage.  I'm as full as a tick!

[User] That sounds amazing! How long does it take to make the beans? Do you have to soak them?

[User] I had to soak them for 3 hours.  I think that's what makes that meal so satisfying - the wait!

[User] I can smell the beans and sausage as we speak.. I always find after cooking I'm never hungry. Maybe that's because I snacked the entire time I was cooking.

[User] I do the same thing!


[System] devastated: Found out some bad news today. Due to a technicality, custody reverts back to my kids dad.

[Assistant] Found out some bad news today about my kids custody case.

[User] Awww, that is awesome! I am so proud of you!


[System] caring: My dog got very sick and didn't leave her bed for weeks.  I was so concerned that I stayed with her most of that time.  I'd lay beside her bed with her, trying to comfort her and make sure she had everything she needed.

[User] My dog got very sick and lay in bed for a couple weeks.  I was so concerned.

[Assistant] that is so sad i hope your pet gets better

[System] furious: My ex and I broke up because he decided that he would no longer be willing to leave his job from overwork, like 70 plus hours a week.

[User] My ex and I broke up because he decided that he would no longer be willing to leave his job from overwork, like 70 plus hours a week.

[User] I am sorry. Breakups are the worst. Did he just not want to give up overtime or he worked 70hours always?

[User] He claims that he kept getting raises and felt obligated to work even harder. So he just kept working more and more and I rarely got to spend time with him and he was always tired.

[User] That's rough but you deserve someone who is willing or wants to make the time for you. Never settle for less than what you are willing to settle for.


[System] hopeful: My ex recently said that he was wanting to get back together. I'm not sure how to feel about it, we've been getting along great since we broke up.

[User] My ex recently said that he was wanting to get back together. I'm not sure how to feel about it, we've been getting along great since we broke up.

[User] Why did yall break up?

[User] The straw that broke the camels back is that he broke a promise that he would leave his job if they were over working him too much. He decided he didn't want to leave after all and wants to keep working 70+ hour weeks every week.

[User] That doesnt leave much time for yalls relationship


[System] disappointed: I came home today and the food I had put in the crock pot was ruined. The outlet must have died and the food sat in there all day not cooking.

[User] I came home today and the food I had put in the crock pot was ruined. The outlet must have died and the food sat in there all day not cooking.

[User] Oh darn I hate when that happens! I've experienced the same thing in the past once.

[User] Yeah it was pretty terrible. I had to throw out a TON of food, and to add insult to injure I had to go eat out tonight.

[User] Yep not always a terrible time to eat out at least.


[System] trusting: I let a friend watch my child for the day while I ran some errands. Usually I am very skeptical about letting people watch either of my kids but I knew I could count on her.

[User] I let my friend babysit my kid last week.

[Assistant] How did they do?

[User] Awesome. I usually have a hard time letting anyone watch my child but he had a great time with her.

[Assistant] How old's your child?

[User] 5

[Assistant] Just barely older than my son. I can definitely understand that.


[System] disgusted: I was out walking by the lake over the weekend and there shore was just covered in dead rotting fish.

[User] I was out walking by the lake over the weekend and there shore was just covered in dead rotting fish.

[User] what happened why were their so many dead fish?

[User] I don't know, that's what I would like to know! The best I can imagine is that the water quality dropped, and they died. I imagine it was pollution.

[User] I hope they are not using the lake for drinking water .


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

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

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

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


[System] terrified: Several years ago one of my neighbors dogs attacked me and I had to go to the hospital to get stitches.

[Assistant] That's quite the win! What was the bet?

[Assistant] Oh! Gotcha! I've never played the switch but I heard it's an exciting console!

[User] I am visiting my friend this week.

[User] Oh cool, where does your friend live? Is it an exciting location?

[User] Oh man, don't bail on your trip. Try and get those thing that came taken care of this week. You don't want to disappoint her.

[User] Oh I know I can't. She had lots of plans for us.


[System] afraid: One time when I was little and playing hide and go seek, my cousin talked me into remaining hidden even when our parents came looking for us. After a while I realized that we were going to be in trouble, and then we saw a police car pull into the drive way.

[User] One time when I was little and playing hide and go seek, my cousin talked me into remaining hidden even when our parents came looking for us. After a while I realized that we were going to be in trouble, and then we saw a police car pull into the drive way.

[User] Oh no, I bet your parents were freaking out.

[User] Yeah I guess they were, they made sure to spank me and ground me for 2 weeks. I was also told that I was a terrible influence on my 9 year old cousin, even though I was 7 and it was his idea.

[User] Oh that sucks getting blamed for it when it was their fault.


[System] sentimental: Been going through stuff for our move and I just can't get myself to part with some things. My grandma gave me this sewing machines, it's huge but it meant a lot to her so I just can't let it go.

[User] So we are moving and I'm having trouble letting go of a sewing machine my grandma gave me. Thinking I should keep it.

[Assistant] Do you get much use out of it, or is it just collection dust?

[User] Kind of just dust. It meant a lot to her that I have it so I just don't think I can let it go.

[Assistant] I guess you can hang on to it, or maybe there's someone else you both know who can show it some proper lovin'.


[System] impressed: One of my friends managed to pay off their first house at the age of 25.

[User] One of my friends managed to pay off their first house at the age of 25.

[Assistant] Understandable, i bet the had good budgeting skills and a nice job.


[System] angry: One time I stayed at a friend's house for the weekend. When I got home I discovered that my brothers had destroyed my bedroom

[User] I stayed at a friends house for the weekend a while back, and when I got home my bedroom was destroyed

[Assistant] Oh no!! That is terrible, do you know what happened?

[User] My younger brothers went in my room and messed with all my things. I am so angry about it

[Assistant] Oh no, I am sure they meant no harm, they always say that they are more curious when they are young.


[System] lonely: Today when I was home alone I was snuggling with a stuffed bunny my ex got me, because I missed him. I feel so pathetic.

[User] Today when I was home alone I was snuggling with a stuffed bunny my ex got me, because I missed him. I feel so pathetic.

[Assistant] It will pass in time, even though it feels awful right now.

[User] I hope so, I'm tired of feeling so miserable. I just wish I had someone here with me right now.

[Assistant] Aw I'm sorry. I remember feeling like that and it was horrible.


[System] content: Saturday was mine and my husband's anniversary. It was just a good day relaxing with the kids and having family time.

[User] I went to the zoo last month, I haven't been since I was a kid. I went to a zoo that was supposed to be one of the top zoos, however I couldn't help but feel bad for the animals the whole time.

[User] Oh, I know exactly what you mean. It's not the same as going as a kid.

[User] The enclosures all just seemed so tiny and it felt like none of the animals were able to have any privacy if they wanted it.

[User] Yeah, it's no wonder these animals go crazy on humans sometimes.


[System] excited: One time I won an essay contest. My prize was a free trip to Washington D.C.

[User] I won an essay contest and I get to go to Washington DC for free!

[User] When I was in middle school there was this boy that sat in front of me in 8th, he was always trying to get me to kiss him before class started.

[Assistant] Wow, really? Did you have any feelings for him?

[User] No, the whole thing was really weird and kind of embarrassing really. He sat in the desk in front and would turn around and basically ask me to kiss him in front of the whole class. I only knew him from that class. I usually would just smash my binder in his face instead.

[Assistant] Hahaha, that is so cute, I am sure he loved that you teased him like that! I bet your classmates also had a good laugh!


[System] hopeful: One time I was worried about finding a new job. A person I had worked with before offered me an opportunity to do some work in my field

[User] I've been out of a job for a while but someone I know has offered me an opportunity to do some work in my field

[System] jealous: My friend and I both entered a drawing at the mall for a weekend vacation last month and she won. I have to admit it stings a little that she won and I didn't.

[User] So a friend and I entered a drawing at the mall and she won. I wish I could say it doesn't sting a bit that she won.

[Assistant] Wow! Congrats to her, and I am sorry that you didn't get the prize. What did she win?

[User] A weekend trip to Gatlinburg. I would of loved that.

[System] impressed: One time I saw a man swallow a sword. It was scary to watch but he turned out fine.

[System] prepared: I've been so busy packing and getting everything cleaned for our move soon. I like being 10 steps ahead.

[User] I've been packing, packing, packing and cleaning.

[Assistant] o That sounds exciting. Moving or spring cleaning?

[User] Moving, not sure when yet but I like to be  ahead of the game. I hate being rushed.

[Assistant] Ya last time I moved I was packing for about 6 months. It's smarter to do it a little at a time and get things purged and organized.


[System] furious: Someone ran into my car while I was grocery shopping. I came out to a huge dent in my car, I was so mad.

[User] Someone hit my car while I was shopping. I am so mad they didn't even leave a note.

[Assistant] Oh no that is terrible, I can not believe that they would drive off without leaving any contact information! How bad was the accident?

[User] Huge dent, I can't believe someone could do that and drive off.

[Assistant] Wow, that is terrible. I hope that you are able to catch them or find surveillance videos of who did it, because most malls do have cameras in the parking lots.


[System] excited: I remember back when I got to pick up my dog at the airport when she was a puppy.

[User] I remember back when I got to pick up my dog at the airport when she was a puppy.

[User] Aww were you excited when you picked her up?

[User] I bet! What kind of dog is she?


[System] trusting: My brother asked to borrow money from me and promised to pay me back. He has trouble with money but I lent it to him anyway

[User] My brother isn't very good with money but i just lent him some

[User] Uh oh, be careful about that, you don't want him becoming dependent on you for handouts.

[User] Yeah I don't do that often, but i am certain he will be able to pay me back this time

[User] Well that's good. I hope it works out for both of you, maybe you could give him some budgeting tips.


[System] ashamed: Some people in this country are just heartless. I watched someone throw their trash at a homeless man today.

[System] trusting: Any time I order food, I count on the cook and server to make sure it's handled and cooked appropriately.

[User] When I go out to a restaurant, I order gluten free food items.  I have to trust that the cook and server take my request seriously.  If not, my food could be "gluten free" but cross contaminated with foods that aren't and still make me ill.

[Assistant] What kind of illness occurs if food is cross contaminated? I'm so sorry this happens to you.

[User] If it's mild, just stomach pains for a few days.  If I were to say, eat a bun that was supposed to be gluten free and it was full gluten, my joints also inflame.  So you see it can affect more than just my stomach!

[User] That might be for the best.  Were they arguing about her color or something else?

[Assistant] No. She just thought the other woman wasnt doing her job. Classic sense of entitlement.

[User] Thats really annoying. It would be great if people would just let other people be.

[User] Oh no! that's no bueno. Usually the person that wants the least deserves the most. Thats sad

[User] Oh that's awful and borderline abusive

[User] Yes, the whole situation made me mad then and mad now. There is nothing I can do though except pray about it.

[User] The other night i heard a sound like someone was breaking in my house, i was pretty scared.

[User] Wow, that sounds quite disturbing. Was someone breaking in?

[User] No, it turns out the power had went out for a minute and it was the sound of the printer calibrating.

[User] Do you feel any less nervous?  Job interviews are always nerve-wracking

[User] Yea, it made me feel better about myself and my chances, or maybe i just like spending money

[User] Either way, as long as you feel a little bit better it was worth it.  I'm sure you'll do great!


[System] nostalgic: I love chocolate cookies because my grams would always make them for me.

[Assistant] Only if it has raisins to sweeten them up!

[User] I've been teaching my young daughter to play video games with me, she's such a quick learner.

[Assistant] What video games are the two of you playing?

[User] Minecraft and asphalt racing are two of them, It's amazing to watch a child learn and grow their intelligence.

[Assistant] It's always amazing how quickly kids pick up on new skills.


[System] disappointed: It broke my heart today when I went to the grocery store and found out that they were out of Dean's French Onion Dip.

[User] It broke my heart today when I went to the grocery store and found out that they were out of Dean's French Onion Dip.

[Assistant] You must really love that dip to have that much of a reaction to the loss of it.

[User] I do!  I've loved that particular brand for years - to me it's the best out there.  But I guess there's quite a few people out there besides me that have a real love for it!

[Assistant] I would assume so, since there has to be someone out there who robbed you of your oniony gold!

[User] Oniony gold!  That's a very apt description!


[System] faithful: I'm glad I stuck my job out as long as I did - I finally got offered a promotion today.

[User] I put in to get a promotion at work, and I should know something either way by tomorrow.

[User] Wow, that's really exciting! Good for you, you must be nervous.

[User] On the one hand, I am but on the other hand I have to relax knowing I did everything I could do and worked as hard as I could.  It's kinda out of my hands now.

[User] That's great, what kind of work are you in?

[User] I work for a medical supply company.

[User] Well I really hope you get it. You're right, you did what you could.


[System] disgusted: Last week, they arrested 9 people for animal cruelty at a nearby farm and the place was littered with dead and sick and dying animals that they weren't taking care of.

[User] Last week, they arrested 9 people for animal cruelty at a nearby farm and the place was littered with dead and sick and dying animals that they weren't taking care of.

[Assistant] That's horrible news!  I don't understand how people can be so cruel sometimes.

[User] I have a hard enough time understanding man's inhumanity towards their fellow man, but towards animals who can't do much to defend themselves?  I hope they put those people *under* the jail!

[Assistant] I know in some places, the penalty for hurting an animal can be tougher than that for hurting your kids.  Nothing makes sense sometimes.

[User] Where I live, they're only now starting to toughen up the animal cruelty laws.  Even so, they lag far behind a lot of other states.


[System] faithful: When the England national team made the semi-finals of the World Cup.

[User] When the England national team made the semi-finals of the World Cup

[User] It can.  But we had fun!  Visited lots of relatives, cooked lots of stuff, goofed off and watched more anime than is probably humanly possible...a part of me is enjoying the quiet but on the other hand, I miss having my kids around to do stuff with.

[User] Oh, that does sound like a fun summer. I read recently that we only get 18 summers with our kids- make them count.

[User] Yep - and I have two left with the older one.  They do grow up so fast!

[User] It's good to stop and appreciate teh moment sometimes.


[System] apprehensive: I had to clean beneath a desk which had not been cleaned in about three years, after there had been some flooding from a manufacturing unit. It was so gross!

[User] I had to clean beneath a desk which had not been cleaned in about three years, after there had been some flooding from a manufacturing unit. It was so gross!

[Assistant] Oh no, I can imagine so! Was it gunky?

[User] Yes indeed, there was even a frog under there! So bizarre!

[System] furious: They arrested 9 people at a nearby farm for animal cruelty and they are already out on bond!

[User] They arrested 9 people at a nearby farm for animal cruelty and they are already out of jail on bond!

[User] Oh, that's not right. I have a rescue dog, she had a litter of puppies at a puppy mill before she was a year.

[User] Wow!  It makes me sad how people can be so cruel to animals that don't have the ability to fight back.  The rescue shelters here have been working overtime to get things straightened out at that farm.

[User] I could chat with you all day! We have a lot in common- I feel the same way. Keep chatting? Poor rescue animals.

[User] Yeah.  But I'm glad at least here we have enough agencies [and people volunteering their time] that hopefully, those animals can find good care and good homes.

[User] That's great! So sad for those poor animals.

[User] And in my opinion, the bond for those people was nowhere near high enough - they should have had to stay in jail!

[User] They should- they say people who hurt animals will hurt people too.


[System] impressed: My son's soccer coach said nice things about his play last year and told me he would do what he could to get him on his team this year as well.

[Assistant] I hope he gets the team he wants.


[System] grateful: I'm so glad the kids went back to school today!

[User] I'm so glad the kids went back to school today!

[Assistant] You must be relieved! You excited for free time?

[User] Yes!  I can go back to having ice cream for breakfast!  I can watch Law and Order all I want to without the, "Mom, you always watch this!" comment!

[System] sad: The little kitten I rescued last Friday passed away.

[User] The little kitten I rescued last Friday passed away.

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

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

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

[User] And that kitten knew she was loved.  It ended sad, but I take comfort in those things.


[System] impressed: My 6 year old daughter couldn't understand how to use a gaming controller. after a few days she had figured it out on her own.

[User] My 6 year old tried to play a video game but couldn't understand how the controller worked. A few days later she was playing no problem!

[User] Kids pick those things up quickly.  And it'll help with her hand-eye coordination, reading - all sorts of things!

[User] Yea, i was pretty proud of her, especially since things are more complicated now than when i was a kid.

[User] Yeah.  Back when the only buttons on a controller were Start, Select, A and B!


[System] annoyed: I thought I had paid all my daughter's band fees only to find out that I'm 10 dollars short.

[User] I thought I had paid all my daughter's band fees only to find out that I'm 10 dollars short.

[User] Oh no! Hopefully you are able to get it sorted out. It's hard to keep up with all the fees for kids schooling.

[User] I keep all my receipts - I learned that lesson her 9th grade year.  I just hate having to make the trip over to the high school because it's in the opposite direction of where I do everything else!

[User] Sounds like a headache, i know the feeling. I got a letter saying i had a few days to purchase a purple shirt from my daughters school. Good luck!


[System] grateful: when i was going through a divorce, money was tight, my mom stepped in and helped with attorney fees, was so helpful.

[User] I went through a divorce last year, which caught me off guard financially, luckily my mom was able to help with some of the costs.

[User] That would be rough.  Hopefully youre in a better spot now!  Thats awesome you had family to help you out too!

[User] Yea i'm much better now, thanks to my mom. Attorneys make a killing on these types of things.

[User] I bet they do! I mean they do go to school for a while and study hard, plus the schools arent cheap but they still dont have to charge as much as they do!


[System] lonely: when my wife left me a year ago i went a little stir crazy. it was so silent in the house, i had to get out and make new friends.

[User] I am sorry that happened. Don't do him any favors.


[System] annoyed: I work from home, sometimes my daughter will bug me intentionally to get a rise out of me, it can be bothersome.

[User] I live in bear country.

[System] impressed: I went to a karaoke bar with a guy I was dating and he sang really well. I didn't know he had such talent

[User] I let my friend borrow my car. He's an international student and only has a permit.

[Assistant] Wow you are very trusting, I do not think I would allow a friend to borrow my car. Is it legal for him to drive with just a permit?

[User] I was in the car with him. He just wanted to practice driving and he didn't have his own car.

[Assistant] Oh okay I see, I thought you actually lent him your car and let him drive around town with it by himself!


[System] trusting: I walk out on belief that I will be lead down the right path. I read the bible and I know the answer will come.

[Assistant] I am at a cross road. I am trying to decide my major in college.

[User] That's a big decision! What are your choices?

[User] okey no problem

[Assistant] I don't want to have problems. This is why I check in with him.

[User] For mine too. That was also i said.

[User] I understand completely. One has to live within one's budget. It can be hard though.

[Assistant] I like go out but I have to really make sure that I don't spend too much. I sometimes like to leave a tip if possible.

[User] It's only normal to want to live within one's means. Too bad you can't leave a tip every time.

[User] I find it appalling how my husband's family is acting now that his grandfather has passed away.

[User] Wow ! Thats quite unfortunate!

[User] Yes, it is. They are all being really selfish and childish. My husband is staying out of it, but I can tell that he is getting fed up with it.

[User] Well handle it wisely


[System] anxious: I feeling kind of anxious today because I have to run several errands for my father-in-law and he wants them done before my mother-in-law gets back into town which will be sometime today. We don't know what time, so that just complicates things.

[User] I have to run several errands for my father-in-law today and he wants them done before my mother-in-law get into town, which is at some unspecified time today.

[Assistant] It sounds like a stressful day. You have to just live in the present so, you will not be too stress out.

[User] Yeah, I'm ready to get everything done so I can relax. I can't start on the errands until I drop the kids at school though.

[Assistant] When that is over then you can do you. We have to make time for ourselves.


[System] sentimental: I think about my mother and I getting really sad. She has been dead for 15 years now.

[Assistant] I really do miss my mother. She has been dead for about 15 years now.

[User] I'm very sorry for your loss. Thinking about and remember all of your good memories with her may help.

[Assistant] It is a blessing and curse. When I am having problems I think about what she would say to me.

[User] That's a good way to remember her and keep her close to your heart.

[Assistant] Yes, it is. I know that time heals.

[User] Yes, it does.


[System] caring: I feel protective of my children. I love them more than anything in this world.

[Assistant] My children are getting old. They are starting to spread the wings. So, I would have to let go and let them fly.

[Assistant] That can't be easy. How old are your children? Sometimes I wish we could keep our kids small forever!

[Assistant] I have 23, 20, 17 and 14. They are doing stuff that I question but I don't want them to not tell me stuff.

[Assistant] Yeah you want them to learn, but it's definitely hard to see them doing things that you might not agree with.


[System] terrified: When I went into labor with my youngest child, while I was at the hospital, the baby's heartbeat dropped and they told me that had to take me for an emergency C-Section. It was one of the scariest days of my life. She is a happy and healthy three year old now.

[User] When I was in labor with my third child, they were monitoring me regularly in the hospital. The nurse came in and made a face and then called the doctor. In the 2 minutes it took for him to get to my room, my heart dropped and I started to panic. He told me that the baby's heart rate had dropped and they had to preform an emergency C-section right then.

[Assistant] Wow that's really scary! Labor is a really terrifying thing, especially when something like that happens. Did everything turn out okay?

[User] Yes, everything turned out fine. She is a healthy and happy three year old. It was the scariest day of my life though.

[Assistant] I can imagine. When I was in the hospital with my 3 year old they lost all his vitals as well. Kids like to keep us on our toes from the start!

[User] Yes, they do. I ope your boy is all good now.


[System] proud: I beat level 150 on my favorite game Grim Dawn this morning. I've been grinding levels all week!

[Assistant] I finally beat level 150 on the crucible today in my favorite game Grim Dawn.

[Assistant] What platform do you play it on? PC or PS4?

[Assistant] PC all the way. I've been grinding devotion points all week.

[Assistant] PC is the way to go for gaming. That sounds like an awesome type of game. Is it multiplayer?


[System] disgusted: I was cleaning my daughters room the other day and found a hello kitty pot filled with water and old flowers that had turned into a green mold soup. We had a talk about keeping things like this in the house.

[Assistant] I just found a hello kitty pot in my daughters room filled with water and old flowers.

[Assistant] That's so cute. How old is she?

[Assistant] It's not cute, and she's nine. By old flowers I mean, it's a green, stagnant slush with mold growing on top.

[Assistant] Oh mine. That is not cute.


[System] embarrassed: I fainted on the bus. All of the passages looked at me with disdain.

[Assistant] When I enter the bus, I fainted. I think that I got overheated.

[Assistant] That's no good. Did you go to the doctor?

[Assistant] Yes I did. It was so hot outside and I did not have much to drink.

[Assistant] Got to make sure you take care of your self. It's scary when your heat sensitive.


[System] ashamed: I got drunk and embarrassed myself in front of my friends.

[User] I got drunk and embarrassed myself in front of my friends

[Assistant] It will be okay. We sometimes do things that we regret.

[User] I fell down, and apparently said some embarrassing things.

[Assistant] You have to forgive ourselves. We don't need others validation.


[System] anticipating: I cannot wait until my daughter graduate. She has worked hard. I know that she will be so happy.

[Assistant] My daughter is graduating from college. I cannot wait until she finish.

[User] Will you be able to spend more time with her?

[Assistant] Yes, I will. She has been under a lot of stress.

[User] I can imagine, but it's good that her hard work is about to pay off.


[System] surprised: A couple years ago I suddenly went blind in my right eye. Two days and several test later, I found out I had MS.

[Assistant] Two years ago I got diagnosed with MS.

[User] What'd MS?

[Assistant] Its a disease that attacks the nervous system. It was really scary to find out I had it. I just went blind in my right eye one day. Two days and several test later I found out I had MS.

[User] Well ,I pray you get through it


[System] jealous: My daughter does not share things with me. I found out that she was moving out from my other daughter

[Assistant] I found out that my daughter is moving out. My youngest one told me so.

[User] How do you feel about that ?

[Assistant] I feel really sad because I felt she should have told me.

[User] Hopefully she re considers you should talk to her about it


[System] trusting: I let my sister borrow my car. I was confident in her driving ability even though she is an inexperienced driver.

[User] I let my sister borrow my car. She is a new driver.

[User] That is risky, what do you plan to do

[User] Well, nothing. I'm sure that she will be a responsible driver.

[User] Okey if she is no cause for alarm


[System] confident: I feel that I can make an A in my graphic design class. I have been keeping up.

[Assistant] I think that I will do good on my test.

[Assistant] Good. You sound confident. When is it?

[Assistant] It is tonight. I studied really hard.

[Assistant] I'm sure you'll do great then!
