[Assistant] I have to pass twice a day too. Oh well, I should just be grateful for what I have now. I just can't help that feeling from creeping in though. Maybe I will buy a lottery ticket, lol.

[Assistant] Heck no.  Be envious that they were lucky enough to have their parents hand down all their money to them.

[User] I let my little sister go into my wallet and grab my credit card so she can order something online for herself.

[User] Why did you do tht?

[User] why is that?

[User] My parents never saw the importance I guess.

[Assistant] How well did it work out for you?

[User] Right. Not much that can be done about it now. I enjoy having more money now though for sure!

[User] That's understandable. I wish you the best in staying smoke free!

[User] Well, you never know if you can do something till you try. I am glad you were able to do so well.

[User] I am content with my life. I have nothing to complain about, luckily!

[Assistant] That is wonderful to hear, good for you. There's way too much craziness in the world making people unhappy. It's nice to hear someone is doing well and happy.

[User] Agreed. I have to actively distance myself away from the drama of reality but doing this makes me happier. Not sure if this is ideal but that's ok!

[Assistant] Distancing yourself from the negative things sounds like a totally healthy way to insulate yourself from that stuff.

[Assistant] Yes, there is no better satisfaction, in my opinion, than a clean house. :) My sister is visiting with her kids. They are staying for a week here at my house. I am sure the house is going to be trashed in the end.

[User] I completely agree.  Mine can get trashed in 10 minutes flat from the kids.  ha ha. Oh, how fun!  I hope you have a wonderful time!  Yeah, you'll probably be cleaning all over again by the end of it but its worth it.


[System] disgusted: My neighbor sits out on his balcony naked sometimes. It's really awkward and I'm grossed out by it.

[Assistant] I wrote an email to a family member I haven't spoken to in a long time and I wasn't sure how they'd take everything I said in it.

[Assistant] Oh wow! That is a brave thing to do! Your letter must have been a little intense if you are worried how they will take it. How did it work out?

[Assistant] Oops. I hate when that happens. Did they say anything to you?

[Assistant] No, but the person who told him confessed. So I decided to be the bigger person and apologize to my coworker before things got too out of hand. He actually wasn't that upset and appreciated that I owned up to it, but I still felt bad for it, mostly that I did it behind his back.

[Assistant] That was really nice of you to apologize like that. Some people would have just ignored it. I know that could have been embarrassing.

[Assistant] Doesn't sound corny. We all need a hobby to relieve stress!


[System] sentimental: I miss being able to take my children to the park.

[Assistant] I miss being able to take my children to the park.

[User] I am sure she will forgive you

[User] She already has. We both think of these type of things so all is good.

Whatever you can do to spin it positively, I would suggest that. Being negative about it will only make everyone's lives worse.

[User] Yeah I feel like not everyone is as moral as me. But that's pretentious which is ironically amoral.
