[System] angry: I would be angry if a truck full of rotten salmon smashed through the wall of my room right now, if I'm being honest. Not only would it destroy most of what I own, but it would also make the place smell awful for months. And I mean, the smell is a bit more important, let's be real.

[User] I am actually furious. I'm writing this from a hotel. A truck full of rotten salmon smashed through the wall of my bedroom yesterday. Place smells awful.

[Assistant] That does not sound plpeasant at all, maybe they should relocate those who are staying there.

[User] I relocated myself to a hotel to stay there until it gets repaired. Luckily my insurance is paying for my stay, but I'll be suing the hell out of the trucking company.

[Assistant] Hopefully no one was injured at all from the accident?


[System] prepared: I had just packed a roadside emergency kit in my car when a snowstorm hit and stranded me on a back road.

[Assistant] I am so glad that I decided to pack a kit for my car in case of bad winter weather.

[User] I bet you are, that's some pretty good foresight right there! Did you have to use it this past winter?

[Assistant] I did, two days after packing it we had a blizzard and my tire went flat out in the middle of it. I would have been very unhappy had I not packed it.

[User] How satisfying must it be to have something like that ready to go in case of emergency, and then to actually get to use it? I'm pretty jealous, and proud in a vicarious kind of way.

[Assistant] I was, and happy to have water, granola bars, and an extra cell phone charger!


[System] excited: I am very worked up about completing my doctoral thesis and defending it this year.

[Assistant] I have a ton of work to complete to earn my degree this year.

[Assistant] Well good luck with that!

[Assistant] Thank you, I have been compiling  data for 5 years, my brain is totally absorbed by it.

[Assistant] What are you studying?

[Assistant] Criminal and social justice.


[System] apprehensive: I was at disney world, and I was going to go on the tycoon rollar coaster but as soon as I got to the top of the line all I could do was worry about the height.

[User] I just froze when It was my turn to get on the tycoon rollar coaster at disney world.

[Assistant] Do roller coasters scare you

[User] I think it was just the thought of being so high up.

[Assistant] I used to be afriad of heights too


[System] lonely: I had to stay home and work while All my friend got to go to colorado to skii. Not only was I missing out on the fun but I was lonely with nothing to do.

[User] I had to stay home and work, while all my friends go to denver and snowboard.

[Assistant] That's a bummer. Maybe next time you can join them.

[User] Hopefully, but the worst part is there is nothing to do on the weekend with everyone gone.

[Assistant] Sound like a Netflix weekend then. Hope you got a lot of work done.


[System] sad: I couldn't believe it when my dog died a few weeks ago. I honestly thought I was going to stay lonely forever. When my girlfriend asked me if I wanted to go look at dogs to cheer me up, I said no.

[User] In some ways, losing a pet dog is even worse than losing a relative. They're so innocent, they're so helpless. They don't deserve to have to die or suffer ever.

[User] Goodness, you're right about that. Plus a pet is the only thing to show unconditional and neverending love for you.

[User] Exactly, and they never demand anything from you. When my golden retriever Louie died a few weeks ago, I honestly thought I would die too.

[User] I'm so very sorry for your loss, I can only imagine that pain. I had to put my girl down 3 years ago and I promise that it does get easier.

[User] Thank you, that's good to hear. I find it pretty difficult to continue on most days...but I suppose it's starting to get easier.


[System] excited: I absolutely could not wait to go on my cruise this summer! I had so many fun activities planned that I just wanted to jump out into the ocean and swim to my destinations, just to get started!

[User] A week before my cruise this summer, I was counting down the days with bated breath. I thought I would actually DIE before I got to go on it.

[User] It's the worst waiting for vacations! You want the time before to go fast but then it to go slow during. Never works out that way, unfortunately.

[User] Yes! Completely the opposite of what you want. The universe can be funny like that. But I had an absolute blast!

[User] That's great! I'm glad you had a good time. I've never been on a cruise before but it sounds like I need to try one out!


[System] proud: When my daughter was born they thought she would never be able to attend school and basically be mentally retarded. Now she is a normal A-B student and just started the 8th grades.

[Assistant] When my daughter was born doctors said she wouldn't ever go to school and basically be mentally handicapped.

[Assistant] And how is she doing now

[Assistant] She is a normal A-B student and just started 8th grade

[Assistant] That is awesome.  Sometimes a second opinion is all you need


[System] sad: It was raining all day on my day off. The sky was gray and cloudy and it felt really cold. What a terrible day off

[User] I finally had a day of, but the weather was terrible and rainy and cold.

[Assistant] aww that's too bad.  I hope you got some solid netflix in at least!

[User] I was hoping to get a chance to play outside and get some sun.

[Assistant] bummer.  Well I hope you get a chance to do that soon!


[System] afraid: I just went to a late night showing of insidious. I almost wet myself from the shock at certain parts.

[User] I just got back from a latenight showing of the horror movie insidious

[Assistant] Oh that sounds fun!

[User] Not really I  almost had an accident at some of the startling points.

[Assistant] That isn't good at all, glad you didn't have an accident.


[System] surprised: I was looking for quotes for car insurance. I was astonished how high the rates were.

[Assistant] I have been looking around at different car insurance quotes

[User] Did you find any good companies.

[Assistant] a couple but it amazes me how expensive insurance is

[User] Did you have alot of accidents that can jack your rates up.


[System] guilty: I ate a whole cake by myself, I'm suppose to be on a diet. It's so hard!

[Assistant] I just ate a whole cake by myself, I feel sick!

[User] It's okay! Try to rest on the couch and that might help!

[Assistant] Thank you, being on a diet is hard with sweets in the house.

[User] I know that feeling all too well. But don't get down on it, just try better tomorrow.


[System] anxious: I had a panic attack the other night and it was terrible. The worst part is that I have no reason to be so stressed

[Assistant] The other night I had a panic attack out the blue

[User] That must have been scary.  Is that the first time it has happened to you?

[Assistant] Sadly no, I get them maybe once a year. The worst part was that I had nothing to be stressed about.

[User] Are you able to do anything to prevent them?


[System] disappointed: I left the front door unlocked this morning and our dog got out. I can't believe I would be so careless.

[Assistant] I left the front door unlocked this morning and our dog got out. I can't believe I would be so careless.

[User] I'm sure that he will turn up soon. I really hope that you find him.

[Assistant] We have been driving around all evening looking for him. He really is my best friend.

[User] Maybe check your local animal shelters? Sometimes they are taken there by people who find them.

[Assistant] We will have to go there next, hopefully he is chilling there.


[System] lonely: When my last ex ghosted me after things were going really well, I felt lost. I had no idea what I'd done wrong, so I was forced to assume that it was something to do with my personality. That didn't help matters.

[User] I felt completely discarded after my last ex ghosted me. We'd been seeing each other for a few months, and everything was fine. Then...nothing.

[Assistant] Aww, I'm sorry to hear that.  Was it a bad break up or did you part on good terms?

[User] That's just it. We didn't really "break up" in the traditional sense. She just sort of stopped talking to me and I eventually texted her and said okay, thanks for the memories. But it was rough.

[Assistant] That's really odd.  I wonder why they didn't have the courtesy to let you know that they'd lost interest or whatever the case may be.  To just cut off contact seems a little rude.


[System] grateful: Today I was getting coffee and the person in front of me paid for my drink. I couldn't believe people would be so nice, I was so thankful because money has been tight.

[Assistant] Today I was getting coffee and the person in front of me paid for my drink. I couldn't believe people would be so nice, I was so thankful because money has been tight.

[User] How thoughtful.  Now you have to pay it forward, as the saying goes.

[Assistant] I will, you never know when someone else is in need!

[User] Kindness is infectious.

[Assistant] It is, I have been so blessed in my life!


[System] impressed: My husband started college this week, I am so proud of him.

[Assistant] My husband started college this week!

[Assistant] How exciting, is he a non-traditional student?

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

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


[System] disgusted: I ordered a hamburger and when I got it there was a hair in it.

[Assistant] I am a really picky eater, and now my favorite restaraunt is ruined for me.

[Assistant] Why? What happened? I hope you didn't get food posioning.

[Assistant] No poisoning, but my burger had a long hair in it, so I couldn't eat it.

[Assistant] Oh gosh, that is gross! Maybe tell the manager so he can make it right, and make sure his staff is doing things to health codes!

[Assistant] So gross, that is certain.


[System] embarrassed: I was walking back to my desk after getting a cup of coffee and tripped over my own two feet and spilled coffee all over myself

[Assistant] I got a cup of coffee the other day and on my way back to my desk I tripped on thin air

[Assistant] Oh no! I hope you did not burn yourself.

[Assistant] I thankfully didn't burn myself bad but I spilled it all over myself! I was so shy afterwards

[Assistant] Hopefully you were wearing dark clothing, coffee on light colors stinks!


[System] terrified: I went down to get a drink of water in the middle of the night and my back door was just standing open.

[Assistant] Watching scary movies lately has me paranoid, I was really frightened the other night.

[Assistant] Oh no! What happened?

[Assistant] I went for a drink downstairs, and the back door was wide open. I didn't sleep a wink and kept my phone and a big knife with me the rest of the night,lol.

[Assistant] Oh man! I would have been so scared!

[Assistant] I really was, and I'm supposed to be the grown up, but I got my daughter to lie next to me.


[System] angry: My neighbors dogs keep barking, and my daughter is asleep. I'm afraid they are going to wake her up!

[Assistant] My neighbors dog are barking so loud and my daughter is asleep!

[User] Ugh that's so annoying. What are they even barking at?

[Assistant] People walking on the bike trail behind our house. It's a daily thing, it gets so annoying!

[User] Yeah, that would drive me crazy. Sounds like the neighbor needs to control their dogs.


[System] content: I had just got done making an entire pizza and eating it whole. it was so filling and left my mouth watering.I was fat and content.

[User] I just got done eating an entire pizza by myself.

[User] I do that all the time, no big deal.

[User] I feel so full and fat and happy. I can't wait to do it again.

[User] What kind of pizza did you eat?


[System] content: It really put me at ease when I got my first paycheck from my new job that included a bonus. I knew that I'd be able to cover my monthly expenses as well as get to buy some nice things for myself.

[User] When I got my first paycheck with a bonus, I knew I didn't need to worry anymore about my expenses. It was quite the feeling!

[Assistant] That is such a relief, it is so nice to have money saved up in the bank.

[User] Yes exactly! I was able to finally start saving for retirement. I'd been procrastinating somewhat, so it really was a relief, like you said.

[Assistant] Oh yeah, retirement will come before you know it, it is good to be prepared!


[System] anxious: Tomorrow I start my new job teaching kids. I really hope it goes well!

[Assistant] Tomorrow I start my new job teaching kids. I really hope it goes well!

[User] Oh wow, now that really is exciting, congratulations! Did you get the grade level and subject you wanted?

[Assistant] I am teaching at a small private school, so I will be teaching all the subjects for 3rd grade. I am pretty excited, just nervous.

[User] Teaching little humans will be such a joy. I really hope you enjoy it!

[Assistant] It really is, you are molding their future!


[System] sad: I lost my dog in the divorce, everything else I lost were just things and money. But My dog was one of a kind.

[User] I just lost my dog. My ex got him in the divorce

[User] That sucks, will she not let you see the dog at all?

[User] No we are not on speaking terms, It's pretty unfair, thankfully we didn't have a kid together.

[User] Yes, that is probably a positive.


[System] annoyed: I lost my credit card and now my bills aren't going through. Trying to explain to the phone and internet companies is such a pain.

[Assistant] Getting a new debit card takes so long and really is a hassle.

[User] Yeah it really does. It's even worse to try and close those accounts!

[Assistant] They don't want to. I lost mine or it was stolen. But all my autopay bills are at a standstill and the companies are not happy about it.

[User] Man that sounds really stressful...

[Assistant] It is, to say the least. But at leaast it will be over at some point.


[System] proud: My sister got a promotion at work last week! She really deserved it and has been waiting for it a long time!

[Assistant] My sister got a promotion at work last week!

[Assistant] oh that is awesome. what does she do?

[Assistant] She is an accountant for a college in Alaska. She's been working their for years so I'm glad they saw her dedication :)

[Assistant] that is great. my sister is an account too. she's also the office manager.


[System] impressed: It was really cool to be at the award ceremony for my friend whose paper received a scholarship. I knew she had a good piece of writing on her hands that I'd helped edit, but I didn't expect it to win an award!

[User] My friend wrote a creative writing piece that I helped edit, and it won her a scholarship. I was so proud, like a dad, even though we're roughly the same age.

[User] Congrats to your friend! That is an amazing accomplishment.

[User] Yeah it was! I joke with her that I should get a portion of the money since I told her she had a really good piece and that she should submit it. She wasn't originally going to.

[User] I would be proud of her too! Hopefully her success continues. You sound like a good friend!


[System] anticipating: Anxious awaiting son to start college

[User] My eldest son is off and is starting his first year in college.  Im so nervous for him!

[Assistant] don't be. i'm sure you raised him right. he will be starting his new adventure

[User] I think it's more stressful for me than it is for him!  I just want the best for him, just not used to not being there with him.

[Assistant] i'm sure he's cool as a cucumber while you are a nervous wreck. it will be fine.

[User] Thanks!  I m sure it will be to just have to get over it and let him grow up.  Gotta lose the control freak in me at some point right?

[Assistant] it will be find. have a little fiath in him and you will see

[User] Cant wait to see what he can do,  Its exciting too!

[Assistant] it's very exciting. i wish you both all the best.


[System] joyful: I was jumping up and down with happiness when I got an N64 for Christmas when I turned 11. Even when we had to go get an RF switch so it would work with my TV, I was ecstatic.

[User] I have trouble remembering a time I was more incredibly overwhelmed with excitement than when I got the Nintendo 64 for Christmas all those years ago.

[User] I remember that console, that's old school.

[User] It sure is now, but back then it was the cream of the crop. You can bet that I stayed up a few hours past my bedtime to play it that evening.

[User] Those were the good old days!


[System] disappointed: I studied really hard for a physics exam and still didn't get a B, which I need for my major.

[Assistant] I need a B average to stay in my major and I'm struggling in a course.

[User] are you able to get some tutoring or find a study buddy?

[Assistant] I found a study group, I didn't flunk the class. But I made an 84 on my physics test and need an 86.

[User] thats good.. well you are on your way up!

[Assistant] Hopefully, I don't even understand how others get all A's.


[System] surprised: I came home from work and my husband had dinner already made. It felt nice to be able to just relax.

[Assistant] I came home from work today and my husband had dinner already made!

[Assistant] Thats awesome, can we trade?

[Assistant] Haha my husband plays video games as well, but we limited it to after my daughter goes to bed only.

[Assistant] That is a really good idea. He must be thoughtful to have cooked dinner for you and had it ready, unlike mine


[System] annoyed: It drove me up the wall this morning when I realized I ran out of coffee filters without getting more at the grocery store the other day. I can't believe I forgot to check!

[User] Let me tell you something. Always check before you go grocery shopping to see if you need to pick up coffee filters. Few things worse than having to go without your morning coffee because you forgot!

[User] that is very true

[User] Not only did I have a rough morning because of it, but I had to deal with the caffeine withdrawal headache all day at work. What a disaster.

[User] hopefully its better tomorrow!


[System] disappointed: I studied really hard for a physics exam and still didn't get a B, which I need for my major.

[Assistant] 4

[Assistant] Hmm, that's interesting tell me more about what that number means to you.

[Assistant] Four years old is the age a child needs to be for a bearded dragon, they carry something in their nails/claws.

[Assistant] Really, my friend had a tarantula as a pet when she was five, scared the poop out of me

[Assistant] My son wanted one of those once, but when we got to the pet store he refused to hold one,lol.


[System] joyful: Having more work than I can handle

[Assistant] I got canned from my job and I'm feeling pretty good these days because I have more work than I can handle without needing to go to an office everyday

[Assistant] Are you really able to work from home? Finding a gig is so difficult, I'm glad that it is working for you.

[Assistant] Yeah it's still a work in progress but I'm young and basically living on peanuts, good thing I'm not allergic

[Assistant] 5


[System] content: I was laying in bed getting ready to fall asleep when I realized just how happy I was. I felt so peacful

[Assistant] I was laying in bed last night when I realized just how happy I am

[Assistant] That is fantastic. Any good new lately?

[Assistant] Nope! I just realized how happy and content I am with my life!

[Assistant] That is an amazing feeling.


[System] disgusted: I was super grossed out last week when I had a sore throat and was coughing up a lot of phlegm. I know it's just a symptom of the cold, but it was still pretty nasty.

[User] I had such a bad cold last week, I was coughing up a lot of nasty stuff into cups just so that it wouldn't hurt when I swallowed.

[User] did you go to the doctor

[User] No, thankfully my symptoms weren't anything that couldn't be managed with a stiff mimosa or seven. But still, I had to throw those cups out. Yuck.

[User] yuk for sure


[System] furious: When I got falsely accused of eating my roommate's ice cream last night, I was completely outraged! I don't even eat ice cream because I'm lactose intolerant, and she knows that!

[User] No matter how many times I told her that I didn't do it, my roommate insisted that I ate her ice cream last night! Unbelievable!

[User] Well, did you eat her ice cream?

[User] I certainly would have liked to, but I'm lactose intolerant! If I had eaten it, I would have been so miserable that there's no way she would've mistaken it.

[User] I wonder who actually ate it then.

[User] She probably did, during one of those nights when she stumbles into the apartment at 3am, drunk, with some random guy she brought home from the club.

[User] So are you saying it could be the guy?

[User] Either he ate it, or she did and she just doesn't remember doing it. All I know is that I didn't do it, and I'm about to hulk out!


[System] apprehensive: I'm really not sure what to do; my wife is having our baby next week and I don't think we're ready for her! I've read parenting books and talked to my own therapist about it, but I'm just a nervous wreck.

[User] I am so not ready for this baby. The wife is due next week, and I'm really uncertain that I'm gonna be a good dad or that we'll have enough to provide for her.

[Assistant] You will be fine. Its going to be hard but dont beat yourself up over it.

[User] I hope you're right. I've read lots of parenting books, and I've been seeing my therapist regularly. There's just so much that I'm still worried about.

[Assistant] Then it sounds like you are already ahead of most new fathers.


[System] joyful: Seeing a cat on the side of the road.

[Assistant] I was walking and say a cat in front of me wagging its tail on the sidewalk and thought it was awesome

[User] That would be pretty cool to see, but you should know that typically most cats swish their tail when they're annoyed or angry! It didn't attack you, did it?

[Assistant] I attacked it with some pets, it was an outside cat which don't get angry too much I'm guessing

[User] Ahh, okay. Yeah I don't know. It might have also been scared or feeling like it had to protect it's turf. But still, that's neat to see and not an everyday thing!


[System] hopeful: I really really would like to make a good grade on my midterm exam this week. It's my first graduate level course, so I need to be on point.

[User] I'm taking my midterm exam this week, and I really want to do well on it. I've studied a lot, and taken the practice test 5 times. I'm still pretty anxious though!

[Assistant] Nice, I guess the only times I was nervous to take a test was when I wasn't prepared, but there's only so much preparation you can do until you just have to trust your brain or whatever

[User] That's true. I probably have it down pat at this point. It's just it's my first graduate course, and I want to ace my entire graduate degree with a 4.0 GPA. This is my first major major grade.

[Assistant] Wow! You must have like every technique in your toolbox to go for that goal


[System] nostalgic: When I went through one of my unpacked boxes, I found some of my ex-girlfriend's old clothes that she never picked up. I really missed her, and I started thinking about all the good times we enjoyed together.

[User] I was unpacking the other day and realized that my ex-girlfriend didn't get all of her stuff out of my place after we split up and before I moved. Really made me miss her, seeing all that stuff.

[User] i bet it does bud, I know the feeling. So how do you deal with it

[User] Well, I spent some time remembering the good times. Then I reminded myself that we broke up for a reason, and we'd moved on. Had to process all the way through it, you know?

[User] yes i know, good memories do help. every relation is a new chapter in the book called our life.


[System] afraid: A squad car cut in to my lane head on the other day and I had nowhere to go, I was on a small crossbridge and he would not slow down at all. I could see that he was looking at the seat next to him and not straight ahead so I threw my car in reverse and hauled it.

[Assistant] Polie officers should still be required to drive safely even when responding to a call.

[User] sometimes they cant avoid it

[Assistant] I threw the car in reverse and hauled my butt backwards!

[User] ok


[System] afraid: A squad car cut in to my lane head on the other day and I had nowhere to go, I was on a small crossbridge and he would not slow down at all. I could see that he was looking at the seat next to him and not straight ahead so I threw my car in reverse and hauled it.

[Assistant] I understand, but coming at me head on, on a two lane highway, while I'm on a bridge with nowhere to go is not cool.

[Assistant] I cant imagine how scared you must have been.

[Assistant] Uh oh, did he destroy something? Sounds as though he misbehaved a bit.

[Assistant] Not sure. You must be very confused. Did you crash?

[Assistant] 2


[System] terrified: I saw a scorpion in my house. It was huge and it ran under my couch before I could kill it.

[Assistant] I saw a scorpion in my house yesterday and still haven't found it!

[Assistant] Oh god. Was it big?

[Assistant] Yes, im scared to sleep! It ran under couch last time I saw it.

[Assistant] Well, maybe look at its lifespan? Maybe it'll die if you end up not finding it.


[System] proud: When I saw my sister's artwork for the first time, I knew that she was going to go far if she really applied herself. She is so talented at such a young age.

[User] I am constantly amazed by my sister's art skills. I'm not sure where she got them...my brother and I can't draw to save our lives.

[User] what does she draw

[User] Mostly anime characters and various portraits. She's still quite young, so she has a way to go, but if you asked me to draw anything similar to what she can when I was her age? Forget about it.

[User] thats awesome


[System] trusting: I knew that when my best friend told me she would always be there for me, that I could have great confidence in her. She's always been a good listener in the past, and has never been anything but supportive when I've gone through rough times.

[User] I used to worry that I would never have a long term friend who would be there to listen to me if I had problems, but my best friend Kayla has proved otherwise.

[Assistant] Kayla sounds wonderful! How long have you guys been friends?

[User] I'll have known her for 7 years next year. She really is wonderful. I've gone through a lot of tough stuff in my life, and she's always been supportive.

[Assistant] Finding someone like that is rare. Take good care of that one!


[System] surprised: I recently found out that I have lung cancer. I think it's beatable, but I really wasn't expecting to have such a difficult journey ahead of me.

[User] I have some bad news, unfortunately. Well, bad for me. I was diagnosed with lung cancer.

[Assistant] I am sorry to hear that. How far along is it?

[User] It's stage two. I think I'll be able to beat it because I'm otherwise in great health, and it hasn't metastasized or anything. I just wasn't expecting to have to deal with this incredibly difficult time ahead of me.

[Assistant] Keep a positive attitude. I will be thinking of you!

[User] Thank you so much for being supportive. :)


[System] terrified: I almost lost my mind the other day when I heard gunshots right outside my house. I thought someone was going to come in and shoot me!

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

[Assistant] Did you find out what happened?

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

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

[User] Only the couple of hours before the gunshots woke me up. After that, no way jose.


[System] anticipating: I sat in the waiting room last weekend and waited and waited to find out how my dad's neck surgery turned out. This was one of those last ditch effort to keep his cervical vertebrae from having to be fused.

[User] I really didn't know what to expect while my dad was having neck surgery last weekend.

[User] did it turn out ok ?

[User] Seems to have, yeah. He has a lot less neck pain now than he has this past year, but that's happened during his previous neck surgeries as well.

[User] hopes he continues to get better

[User] Yes, hopefully he does, because this was one of the last neck surgeries they were willing to do before fusing his neck completely, not allowing him to be able to turn his head anymore.


[System] devastated: I recently found out that I have been diagnosed HIV positive, and I'm at a complete loss for words. I don't even know how to go on anymore.

[User] I got some pretty horrible news recently. I've been diagnosed HIV positive. I'm just...lost...

[User] I'm so sorry!  Don't lose hope though. I know some science based nutrition that helps you overcome and kill it going high nutrition plant based vegan.  Look up Dr. Joel Furhman.  It'll save you from all the meds that hurt your body.

[User] I might look into that, thank you for being supportive. I know it's nowhere near a death sentence anymore, it's just there are so many questions. Can I have kids, is a big one.

[User] I know it must be overwhelming you but coming from someone that is fighting chronic epstein barr virus and Lupus, it will change your life.  Check out HIV and going vegan on youtube and thebody,com and so many other resources.  You might be able to reverse it and it wouldn't even be a concern for having kids.  You take care and have hope!


[System] nostalgic: Playing old video games

[Assistant] Playing old video games reminds of the summers where my friends and I would hang out endlessly

[User] Sounds like you're feeling nostalgic.  What games were you plaing?

[Assistant] Super smash bros is a classic, never gets old, but yeah you're right

[User] I've never played it but its supposed to havea bunch of old game characters in it


[System] anxious: Once I had an interview for a job. I didn't feel prepared for it at all

[User] I had a job interview recently

[User] Oh, how did it go?

[User] Not well. I didn't really feel prepared for it.

[User] I'm sorry, I am sure you will be ready next time.


[System] jealous: My co-worker discovered the cure for type two diabetes before me, and I just can't believe it. It was supposed to be my Nobel Prize, not his. Now my dad will never respect me and my accomplishments.

[User] Speaking of co-workers, one of my colleagues just found the cure for type 2 diabetes, and I honestly couldn't be more annoyed about it.

[User] Wait, why would you be annoyed by that? That's amazing!

[User] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Amazing and all, but it was supposed to be MY discovery. I wanted that Nobel Prize and the trip to Stockholm. Now I don't think my dad will ever think I've accomplished anything.

[User] I think you need to look at the bigger picture, though. Someone cured a disease that has caused so much suffering for so many people. Though I suppose to can be both excited for the discovery and jealous at the same time. The two aren't mutually exclusive.


[System] lonely: There was a movie out i wanted to see but no one else was interested. I went to see it by myself

[User] I went to a movie alone recently because none of my friends wanted to go with me

[User] What movie did you see

[User] Jurassic World. It was okay.

[User] Yeah I have heard bad things to be honest


[System] annoyed: I bought iced coffee and my brother drank it. I was looking forward to drinking it in the morning.

[User] I just bought iced coffee yesterday and my brother drank the rest of it without asking me.

[Assistant] Wow. Does he usually do stuff like that?

[User] Yeah, he will eat or drink whatever he finds in the fridge.

[Assistant] Damn well, he's gonna have to learn some boundaries with that.


[System] sad: I felt sad when I saw Alex Jones channel taken down

[Assistant] I thought it was unfair how YouTube banned Alex Jones

[Assistant] It is indeed unfair, they shouldn't have done that

[Assistant] I think people are just getting riled up for the midterms

[Assistant] you are right. But hey people just do what they want to!!


[System] embarrassed: Playing hide and seek and I ended up in the bathroom

[Assistant] I was playing hide n seek when I was a kid and I had to use the restroom, but then I realized after a couple minutes that there was someone behind the shower curtain

[User] I bet that was awkward

[Assistant] Yeah, nobody said anything

[User] I guess that happens sometimes, did you finish the game


[System] angry: I recently found out that my girlfriend has been cheating on me with another woman. She promised me that she wasn't that type of girl. Needless to say, I'm quite upset about it.

[User] My girlfriend has been cheating on me with another woman!

[Assistant] That is terrible and a little odd!

[User] Yeah, tell me about it! I trusted her to only cheat on me with other men, but I just don't know how I can deal with this betrayal!!!

[Assistant] Wait, you were ok with her cheating?

[User] Not like this! She assured me that she wasn't that type of girl, and I was stupid enough to believe her.


[System] caring: When my Uncle Bill told me about how he was planning to desert his military duty and flee to Canada, I knew he'd need my support. It was a tough decision for him with a lot of risk, but I was there for him.

[User] I knew that I needed to support my Uncle Bill when he told me he wanted to flee to Canada to escape military duty. Family always comes first.

[Assistant] Yes indeed! what did you do?

[User] I helped him pack the essentials in his wood-paneled station wagon and filled his gas tank for him. It was the least I could do.

[Assistant] You did great! Family comes first. And you gave him your support!


[System] disappointed: I found out that my son got a B in one of his classes at the end of last year. I thought I had a truly exemplary, world-changing student on my hands. Now I know he's just...above average.

[User] Speaking of kids in school, I just found out my son got a B in his world history class at the end of the previous school year. I can't believe it.

[User] That's great!!  History is so important I think and so few kids really grasp it well.  Congrats to him for a job well done!

[User] No no, see, it was the first grade below an A that he's ever made. I honestly thought I had the next Einstein on my hands. Now I guess I'll have to settle for...above average, I guess. :(

[User] Oh, I see what you are saying!  Did he get upset about it?  And you never know, he could turn it around next year and blow you away!

[User] He seemed fine about it, which is weird because he's always been so proud to bring home straight As. I'm really hoping he does turn it around next year. I also hope he's not on drugs or something. I suppose we'll see.


[System] joyful: I was so elated to find out that my dog could speak to me! Even better, he has an adorable Cockney accent. We've been chatting about philosophy for three days now.

[User] So I have some amazing news. I recently discovered that my dog can speak to me! Isn't that incredible?

[User] Wow, is that true? That's pretty amazing! I'd say science should know about your dog.

[User] I'd say you're certainly right about that! He's got the best Cockney accent though, and won't shut up about philosophy. It's all he wants to talk about! Like okay, we get it, you're suuuuper into Immanuel Kant, cool.

[User] Wow, that surely is incredible! Even the accent too? And intelligent! The full package!


[System] confident: When I saw my competition at the world championship for Major League Eating, I knew that I had nothing to worry about. These kids had only ever eaten 30-40 hot dogs at once, and here I am, 60, easy.

[User] I mean, let's be honest. I'm the Major League Eating world champion. When I saw that my next closest competition had only ever maxed 40 hot dogs, I knew I had that thing in the bag.

[Assistant] Dang, that's a lot of dogs. Cleaned out the pound, you did. But that doesn't hold a candle to the 100 I ate yesterday.

[User] Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well. I would relish the opportunity to eat alongside you one day at the troughs of battle. Be warned, however: only those with the strongest of stomachs have ever dared to challenge me!

[Assistant] How dare you question my intestinal fortitude?!? I would watch out, friend. I may just slip some cyanide in your relish if I ever have the chance to challenge you!

[User] Hmph. Well, you should check the by-laws. Major League Eating Official Rulebook page 42, section 4.2.b strictly forbids the usage of cyanide as a food enhancement. You must eat the food as is. So I'm afraid I'll have to report you to the governing board and get you disqualified.


[System] grateful: One time I was sick with the flu. My boyfriend stopped by to check up on me

[User] I was sick in bed with the flu. My boyfriend took care of me though

[Assistant] That is so nice of him. Are you feeling better?

[User] Yes, I feel much better now.

[Assistant] That's good to hear. I hope I meet someone that will do that for me.


[System] sentimental: When I was going through my old photo albums this morning, I came across a picture of my mother and me. It reminded me of a much simpler time, before she abandoned the family and joined a nudist colony. Ah, she was the best. I miss her.

[User] I was leafing through my old photo albums this morning and ran across a picture of me and my mother. I really remember her fondly.

[User] That would bring the tears. I love looking at pictures especially old ones.

[User] Yes, it definitely did. It reminded me of a simpler time, before she abandoned our family to join the local nudist colony. Oh, I do miss her though. She was just the best!

[User] Sounds like you are conflicted. She ran off but she's the best? Are you being sarcastic?

[User] I'm just saying I respect her life choices, but she was a great mom while she was around. I think she's brave.


[System] annoyed: My dog pooped on the floor. I had let her out several times and she still decided to use the house as her bathroom.

[User] My dog pooped on the floor after I let her in the house.

[Assistant] That's a tragedy! What ever did you do?!?!

[User] I told her she was a bad dog and had to clean it up.

[Assistant] Serves her right! These animals can't go around thinking they can poop on our things!


[System] impressed: I was blown away when my six year old nephew solved the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem. He will be getting the million dollar prize for it, which I hope he doesn't blow on cocaine and beef jerky.

[User] Honestly? I have a pretty special nephew. He just solved the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness Millenium Prize problem.

[Assistant] Holy moses, he must be as smart as me. I solved that thing in five minutes last week. Child's play.

[User] Child's play is right, the kid is only 6 years old. And you couldn't have, because the Clay Institute says the million dollar prize is still at large, which I'm sure he will be blowing immediately on Tropical Sprite and cocaine.

[Assistant] Yeah, that's what they tell everyone because, in reality, they blew all the prize money on the very same thing themselves. I was pretty peeved that I couldn't even get a dime bag and the sleeziest of hookers.


[System] jealous: I've been trying really hard to get a promotion at my company but they just hired someone to fill that spot from outside of the company.

[User] I've been trying really hard to get a promotion at my company but they just hired someone to fill that spot from outside of the company.

[Assistant] Ahh, that's too bad, did you mention it to your boss?

[User] My boss is pretty temperamental and doesn't like people questioning his decisions, probably a bad idea.

[Assistant] Oh I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe next time!


[System] sad: My roommate's cat passed away last week. There is a heavy air over the household.

[User] My roommate's cat passed away last week. There is a heavy air over the household.

[Assistant] I bet. That is so sad. I am so sorry.

[User] Yeah hes really lost without her. It was unexpected.

[Assistant] I bet! I hope they can find peace soon.


[System] lonely: I broke up with my boyfriend last week, and nothing is the same without him

[User] I broke up with my boyfriend last week, and nothing is the same without him.

[User] Time will make it better. You just have to move on.

[User] Yeah, I know but we were planning to start our lives together. We were moving in and now I have to rethink everything.

[User] Better to find out now then move in and invest your time. Trust me it's worse.


[System] content: I just made a delicious pie, i let it cool to room temperature and ate it with ice cream it was perfect.

[User] I just made the most delicious pie

[User] Really? What kind was it?

[User] It was apple pit,  I let it cool to room temp and ate it with ice cream it was so good.

[User] Oh I love apple pie with ice cream, it's such a good combination


[System] confident: I had just got a 100 dollar haircut and some new clothes and yeezy shoes. I felt on top of the world

[User] I just got a new pair of yeezy shoes and a clean hair cut.

[User] Nice, I wish I could get a pair of those shoes.

[User] I feel on top of the world. I don't know whoever said things can't bring you happiness. They must never owned a pair of Yeezy's

[User] How much did you pay for them?


[System] content: I just built a warm fire and huddled up next to it until i started to fall asleep. I felt safe and secure

[User] I just went camping and build the warmest fire.

[User] I love a warm fire outside while camping! Sounds like a great time.

[User] Yeah, I ended up falling asleep to the dying fire. I felt very safe and secure.

[User] Yes that sounds like a wonderful way to sleep.


[System] afraid: I was all alone in the house. I had all the lights off and was alone in my bed. It was storming outside and I couldn't fall asleep

[User] I just had to spend the night all alone in the house. The power was out and It was storming outside.

[User] That sounds like it could be quite a scary experience.

[User] I started a small fire in the trash can to get some light. It almost started a fire.

[User] Oh yeah that's a bit dangerous. Candles are good to have on hang.


[System] apprehensive: apprehensive: travelling to dubai

[User] I'm a little worried about travelling to dubai

[Assistant] Why are you worried?

[User] These muslim countries can be a bit fanatic

[Assistant] That is true but Dubai is a bit better


[System] trusting: I left my cell phone on the table at the starbucks. I was going to the bathroom and didn't worry about leaving it.

[User] I left my cell phone on the table at starbucks.

[User] Oh no! Was it still there when you went back?

[User] Of course, I'm not worried no one would steal from me.

[User] You never know these days. Luckily there are cameras everywhere.


[System] anxious: anxious: I can't help feel stressed about money

[User] I can't help feel stressed about money

[Assistant] I usually don't feel the greatest because of health problems.

[User] what kind of health problems ?

[Assistant] Blood pressure and crohns disease, as well as, a few minor ones. Not sure why but today I feel really good! Slept well, woke up happy and energized

[User] i'm glad you feel good today!


[System] prepared: I know I will be safe in the event of a total nuclear holocaust as long as I duck and cover underneath the nearest school desk. There's just not a single thing wrong with my plan.

[User] You wanna know why I'm not worried about nuclear armageddon? Because I bought a school desk at one of the district auctions, and all I have to do is duck and cover and nuclear fire won't touch me.

[User] lol! I remember those drills when I was a kid!

[User] Ahh, then you know exactly what I mean. I don't see a single thing wrong with my plan. I'm not sure why everyone is so worried about North Korea or Iran or Russia or something when it's just like...get a school desk. It's not hard, people.

[User] And your largest hardback book will protect you from a tornado as long as you put it over your head and sit in the hall!!

[User] Actually a genius, I love it. Parents and teachers tried to tell us that going to school would prepare us for the world. We just didn't know how right they were, did we?


[System] anticipating: I have a job interview next week. I'm hoping for the best but not getting my hopes up too much. I really need a new job

[Assistant] I have a job interview next week. I'm really nervous.

[User] That's normal. Try to just be your self. I'm sure it will work out fine.

[Assistant] I'm hoping for the best, but not getting my hopes up too high. I need a new job!!

[User] Amen, me too.   I hate my current job.


[System] joyful: My new upholstery/carpet cleaner arrived today. I am so very happy it's here as my living room rug needs a good clean!

[Assistant] This is going to sound really pathetic, but I'm so happy my new upholstery/carpet cleaner arrived today. Now I can clean!

[User] It's not crazy! I'm all about cleaning up. I LOVE the smell of clean house

[Assistant] Me too. I live in a first floor apartment and it gets so dusty. Now I'll be able to clean the carpet and the couch! Funny how some strange things lift your spirits.

[User] I find it very satisfactory to clean and vacuum :) I bet it will smell so good

[Assistant] Hope so. I'm moving out of this apartment and into another one in a few weeks, so I want it to be really clean.


[System] proud: I can't help but sit back and think what a great mother my daughter has become. She recently had a baby that was premature and is juggling so many things at once but is doing a great job.

[Assistant] My daughter is doing such a great job juggling so many things after having a baby that was premature.

[Assistant] That's good. I know that would be difficult.

[Assistant] She really has become such a good mom. I must have done something right ha ha

[Assistant] That is great. I am sure you are proud and you should be!


[System] apprehensive: I'm moving into a new apartment soon and am really excited about it. But at the same time, I'm hoping and praying my neighbors will be nice and quiet. The current upstairs ones are not!

[Assistant] I'm moving into a new apartment soon. I do hope that the neighbors are nice and quiet.

[Assistant] That's always both an exciting time and a nerve-wracking time. I'm in college and I had to move the past two years in a row. This year, I decided I kinda had enough and would just stay put, even though the apartment was just so-so. Do you like it well enough even if the neighbors may give you trouble?

[Assistant] Not really, but my current upstairs neighbors are awful and I feel it'd be worth moving just to get away from them!

[Assistant] Oh yeah, I know the type. Where they sound like they're having a parade at 3AM. Sorry you had to go through that. Luckily (or unluckily, if you want to see it that way) I have a loud window AC unit in my apartment, so even if they did make noise, I couldn't hear them over it!

[Assistant] Lucky you! And you're bang on about the 3am parade - sounds like a herd of elephants. Maybe I should speak with the current tenant of my new place before moving - just to see how the neighbors are.


[System] apprehensive: When we first decided to sell off everything and hit the road full-time in our RV, I was a bit worried and scared. I was afraid we wouldn't make it lol. So far so good, 2 years ina nd still going.

[User] Two years ago we decided to sell off almost everything we owned and move into our RV so we could travel full-time. I was really scared and worried about literally everything lol.

[Assistant] Oh wow that is a huge commitment! How did it go?

[User] It has been amazing! We have enjoyed every minute of the last 2 years. My kids are seeing and experiencing things that they may have never been able to see or do.

[Assistant] That is really awesome! Im glad it all worked out for you!

[User] Thank you! We have had so much fun an dI now realize that I had nothing to be so worried about lol.


[System] nostalgic: I was looking back through pictures online of me and my friends years ago.  It made me kind of wish I could be back then for a little while.

[User] Sometimes I look at old pictures of times in my life and kind of wish I could go back for a while.  Do you ever feel like that?

[Assistant] Yes I feel like that every time I look at old pictures!

[User] It's good to know others feel the same.  I mean, I love my life right now, but sometimes it would be nice to go to something simpler for a bit.

[Assistant] I agree and time jut goes by too fast!


[System] nostalgic: I was looking at old pictures of my friends and I.  I sometimes wish I could go back to those days, at least for a while.

[User] I was looking at old pictures the other day and kind of wishing I could go back to those times in my life.

[User] Do you reach out to your friends from your childhood?

[User] As much as I can, but some have gotten far enough away that I'm not sure how to track them down anymore.

[User] Exhaust all options, social media is a big way to stay connected


[System] impressed: I had a package delivered to the property management office recently. It was quite a large package and I couldn't carry it. Without saying a word, one of the maintenance men took it to my apartment for me. Is that service or is that service?!

[Assistant] Sometimes I'm just surprised and amazed at the kindness of others. Recently, one of the maintenance men in our complex delivered a package to me, without my saying anything!

[Assistant] Wow!  What was in the package?

[Assistant] It was a carpet/upholstery cleaner and is quite heavy. I'm disabled, so wouldn't have been able to carry it. They don't normally do deliveries, so I thought that was really nice of him to do that.

[Assistant] That was really nice!  What a wonderful surprise!  This act of kindness helps to restore my faith in humanity.

[Assistant] The service they provide is so considerate and thoughtful. I'd probably move out of the complex if it wasn't for the staff!


[System] nostalgic: Me and my friend used to play nintendo all day long

[User] My friend and I used to play nintendo all day long. it was fun! We used to play ninja turtles and other fun games. Gosh, i miss her so much

[Assistant] Nice do you still keep in touch with her

[User] yes but she lives in a different country, different time zone so we barely have time to talk. I wish she lived closer

[Assistant] Well if you stay in touch then I'm sure she'll come back...but in the meantime try to take your mind off her or get involved in something fun so you have cool stories to tell her


[System] content: I'm usually at my calmest and happiest when I'm sitting on my porch with a good book and a glass of wine. It's a lovely feeling to end the day with.

[Assistant] For me, one of life's greatest pleasures is to be sitting on my porch with a good book and a glass of wine.

[User] What book do you enjoy reading?

[Assistant] Lots of things. I like historical novels and legal dramas best. What about you? Does reading give you a sense of relaxation?

[User] No, actually I'm under a lot of stress right now and I'm in pretty dire straights financially. The only book i'm really reading at this time is the Bible.

[Assistant] There's no finer book to help you in distressful times than the Bible. I hope it gives you a sense of peace to read it. So sorry to hear you're stressed out.


[System] disgusted: My cousin recently sent me a video she'd taken with her phone, It was a tour of my home village. What I saw horrified me and made me sick - they've built all manner of hideous buildings in really prominent places!

[Assistant] My cousin recently sent me a video from her phone of my home village. What I saw made me mad and sad!

[Assistant] Where is your home village?

[Assistant] In the North of Scotland. It used to be a quiet little place, and now there are hideous buildings in really prominent places!

[Assistant] That's a shame. I"m sorry to hear that.

[Assistant] Me to. I was even considering moving back there some day, but not after seeing the mess the planners have made of it.

[Assistant] Do you live in the United States now?

[Assistant] Yes. I've been here for about 20 years now and love it. But there's something about where I grew up which pulls (or rather pulled) me back.

[Assistant] Yes it sounds like it was a great place to grow up.


[System] caring: i really love my dog, i always make sure he has everything he needs food, water, vet etc

[Assistant] i love taking care of my little dog i give him everything he need

[User] One time as a surprise for my birthday, my college friends "kidnapped me"

[User] Oh my goodness, that must have been terrifying until you figured out what was going on.

[User] Nah - I knew that they were just having fun with me!  I was blindfolded and put in the trunk of a big car (I am tiny).

[User] Well at least you had a good time.  Did they do something nice for you after?

[User] Well they took me to a local fountain and dunked me in it!  It was warm out so it was funny and I liked that they cared about me.

[System] surprised: I never buy scratch off tickets but decided to stop by the store and grab a couple the other day. I waited til I got home to scratch it and ended up winning $500 on one of them. I spent $20 on them and one I won $5 but the other $500.

[User] I won $500 on a scratch off the other day.

[User] Awesome.  What are you going to do with the money.

[User] I'm really not sure. I was shocked to win that much.

[User] Don't spend it all in one place :)

[User] I'll try not to. I'll probably just save it :)

[User] Putting it away for a rainy day is the best bet.,


[System] ashamed: I once put googly eyes on a potato and had a nice dinner date with it.  I was really lonely at the time and was doing anything I could to keep occupied.

[User] I was really lonely and depressed at one point, and I had a dinner date with a potato I put googly eyes on.

[Assistant] Haha, that's a nice way to enjoy a sad moment, how are you feeling recently?

[User] Much better, thanks :)  Yeah, I was really just doing anything to feel a connection.

[Assistant] I'm happy to hear you're doing better. If you feel that way again please reach out.


[System] furious: I woke up and I found out that my cat had destroyed my shoes! I was SO mad

[Assistant] I woke up and the first thing I saw that my cat had decided to play with my shoes and ruin them!

[Assistant] Aw he's just a kitty after all. I'm sure he didn't mean to make you mad.


[System] confident: I was confident that I was going to win that prize

[Assistant] I was confident that I was going to win that prize

[Assistant] What prize was it, or what was the competition, rather? I'm interested to know, but don't want to pry, if you don't feel like saying.

[Assistant] It was a $25 Visa gift card. The competition was a talent show. I didn't win unfortunately but It's ok

[Assistant] Ah, gotcha. It's good to see that you tried and that you care that much. Most people are too lazy or scared to compete in things, myself included. I hope you continue to do the things that make you competitive and interested.


[System] apprehensive: We were buying a new kind of sausage for the first time and I was really nervous if it was good or not cause it was super cheap!

[Assistant] Sometimes the cheap things are the best


[System] sad: it is really depressing going to visit my grandmother to the hospital and see all the sick patients

[Assistant] it is really hard going to the hospital to visit my grandmother

[Assistant] yeah it is the worst having someone in the hospital

[User] i hope she will recover soon. Stay strong and think positive


[System] anticipating: I'm going to my home country next tuesday

[Assistant] aren't you afraid of the wild animals that will be roaming the area?


[System] surprised: I came home one day to find that my dog had eaten a sandwich I had taken home from lunch.  The odd thing is that it had been in a bookbag, and he had unzipped the bag to get to it.

[User] I came home one day and found that my dog had unzipped my bookbag, gotten a sandwich I had forgotten I brought home from lunch, and opened the bag it was in without damaging it to eat it.

[User] That sounds peculiar. I've never known a dog with such finesse, yours may have talent.

[User] He's an evil genius.  He tried to get toys out of a christmas stocking one time by climbing on the coffee table.

[User] That's really cool, it makes me want to consider getting a dog.


[System] impressed: I am impressed in my sisters camping skills. They are very good

[Assistant] I am impressed in my sisters camping skills. They are very good

[Assistant] Every day I practice - I'll be back on the golf course in no time, lol.


[System] furious: A public road in front of my house closed because of a limestone mine.

[User] I am so upset that a public road in front of my house closed because of a limestone mine.

[Assistant] That sounds frustrating. How did it affect you?

[User] It is hard because cars come up the road all the time and turn around in my drive.

[Assistant] Ooh, that would be aggravating. I guess there isn't much you can do.

[User] I just have to wait for the city to fix the collapsed road and reopen the road again.


[System] hopeful: I am hopeful that I will win my ebay bid

[Assistant] I am hopeful that I will win my ebay bid

[Assistant] Best of luck! What are you bidding for

[Assistant] I am bidding on a rare comic book

[Assistant] Archie? marvel? dc?


[System] terrified: I was walking home one day and was passing a house that had been empty for a while.  As I was passing a very large dog came charging out barking very loudly at me.

[User] I was walking home one time and a really big dog came charging out from a house at me barking really loudly.

[Assistant] Sometimes dogs just bark a lot. Did anything happen?

[User] Thankfully not really, it stopped near me and barked a lot until someone got it, but it was really frightening until it was retrieved.

[Assistant] Thank goodness. I'd be scared, too. You can't really know whether a dog is harmless or not sometimes.


[System] impressed: i was really amazed to see the devolpment of new technology these days compared to past years

[Assistant] it is incredible to see how technology has advanced these past days

[User] It has, what did you see that impressed you?

[Assistant] well the phones are basically a 1990's computer

[User] They're more powerful than that. More like an early 2000's computer.


[System] guilty: I ate like a whole cake last night! It was so good I couldn't stop eating it

[Assistant] I ate an entire cake last night

[User] What did i tell you about doing that. It was a chocolate cake right?

[Assistant] It was! I just couldn't stop! It was so good that I just had to keep eating

[User] Ok, at least it was the right kind of cake you liked. But still not a good thing.


[System] prepared: I am prepared to help my family financially whenever they need it

[Assistant] I am prepared to help my family financially whenever they need it

[User] That is really great.  You don't find too many people willing to help others financially.  Do you have a really good job?

[Assistant] Ehh, its not the best but it's not bad either\

[User] It's good just to have enough these days.


[System] afraid: I was afraid when I saw that horror film in the theater

[Assistant] I was afraid when I saw that horror film in the theater

[User] Which film was it?

[Assistant] It was the First Purge

[User] I haven't heard of it, sounds interesting though.


[System] surprised: I just moved to this area quite recently and am quite pleased with the quality of stores, restaurants and variety of accommodations available. It most certainly was not expected.

[Assistant] Wandering around my little area of the world I am quite pleased with the variety of stores and restaurants here. I didn't expect it.

[User] That's good. I live in a small town but we have a big shopping center across the street and there are all the stores i love

[Assistant] Nice! You just don't expect it in a rural area. Well, I didn't anyway. We have large grocery stores and a little (but very good) organic grocery store. Quite incredible.

[User] wow even organic store? that's pretty cool

[Assistant] I find it hard to believe, myself! This is the rural south, yet there are fine dining restaurants, the aforementioned store, really good independent stores selling all sorts of stuff.


[System] disgusted: I hate when i wash dishes and touch food

[User] i hate when i do dishes and touch food that was on the plate1! so gross. makes me wanna throw up

[Assistant] Really? It doesn't bother me at all. I wonder why you feel that way?

[User] because the food is all soggy and mushy. i don't know, such a yucky feeling

[Assistant] Well, most people have intense likes and dislikes. Personally, I can't stand cigar smoke, but some people love it! I guess in your case, you need to scrape the food off the plate first.


[System] angry: i hate when my kids leave their clothes all over the floor, i punish their video games but they still manage to leave their clothes on the floor

[Assistant] i really hate when my kids leave their dirty clothes on the floor

[Assistant] I can imagine they are a right pain to pick up after!

[Assistant] yeah they even have a bin specially for that

[Assistant] What an annoyance!


[System] annoyed: i hate when people try to cut lane in traffic without putting their signal it really makes me angry

[Assistant] i hate people that cut lane in traffic without signaling it

[Assistant] Oh me too. I'm not a driver but that is so annoying.

[Assistant] yeah it really makes me mad to see that people dont care about these types of things

[Assistant] It can be really dangerous too


[System] disgusted: I found a rabbit that had been shot by someone in my yard.

[User] I found a rabbit that had been shot by someone in my yard

[User] That is terrible.  Was it dead or just injured?

[User] Thank goodness it was dead, poor thing is not suffering, but some people can be so cruel.

[User] That is true.  I would hate for people to be shooting things that close to my house, too.  Do you know who it was?


[System] apprehensive: We have been talking about trying a new restaurant that just opened a few months ago. I had been holding off because it's a little pricey and I'm worried I won't like the food even though it has gotten good reviews.

[Assistant] We had been holding off trying a new restaurant in town.

[User] What's been holding you back?

[Assistant] It's a little pricey and I'm worried I won't like the food and waste all that money. It has good reviews though

[User] That's a tough decision to make. It's good to try new things sometimes and I'm sure the waiters can recommend you a nice meal you'll enjoy based off your preferences.


[System] joyful: I just discovered that our local organic store stocks Indian food made by a local Indian lady. I was the happiest person alive at that point - I love Indian food!

[Assistant] Our local organic store now stocks Indian food made by a local Indian lady - heaven, heaven, heaven!

[User] That is very cool!  I love when food is authentic.  Do you shop there often?

[Assistant] About once a week. Her husband works in the store, so he brings her food in regularly. It's such a pleasure to find such a thing - I missed my Indian food!

[User] I have never tried making Indian food myself, but I do really enjoy Indian restaurants.  I am jealous.

[Assistant] Well, my uncle's Indian and his sisters and mother taught my aunt to cook, and she taught me. But I'm disabled right now so can't cook much. This is such a find!


[System] confident: I have been practicing my jump shot for months. I am read for a game of horse against my friends.

[User] I have been working on  my jump shot all month.

[User] That's awesome!  Have you gotten any better yet?

[User] I hope so I have a big horse tournament against my buddies I want to win the 100 bucks prize.

[User] That would be cool.  Hopefully the hard work will pay off


[System] annoyed: One of my neighbors (next building and two floors up) insists on playing talk radio every morning with his door open. It's blaring out and driving me nuts!!

[Assistant] One of my neighbors (next building and two floors up) plays talk radio every morning Very Loudly.

[Assistant] Urgh that sounds like the worst! How early?

[Assistant] Not until about 8am, but it's so loud I can hear it in my first floor apartment with the doors and windows closed. Idiot man!

[Assistant] So inconsiderate! It reminds me of my neighbours doing building work one morning at 6AM!

[Assistant] Yikes! Why are some people such inconsiderate creeps? It makes me really mad!

[Assistant] Me too!

[Assistant] I've called management twice about it and both times he quietened down - for about two days. Then up it goes again!

[Assistant] How many times do you need to tell them!? :(


[System] anticipating: I just bought a ticket to britney spears live show in vegas, It is in 3 months, I cannot wait!

[User] Nothing in life is certain, the only control you have is to decide what to do with the time that has been given to you.

[User] I tend to believe that those who have Biblical faith do have a certainty, that God will bless them despite circumstances.

[User] I have just bought a ticket to a britney spears live show in vegas.

[User] Oh really, when are you going to go see her?

[User] The show is in three months, I hope she sings he late 90s hits.

[User] I hope you have a good time at the concert, and she sings all the songs you're looking forward to.


[System] anticipating: I just got an email from property management confirming that I've got the new apartment I wanted. I can't wait to move in!

[Assistant] Our Property Management team just emailed me to say I've got the apartment I wanted!

[User] Congratulations! That must have been such a great feeling.

[Assistant] It really was - I can't wait to move in! It's a smaller apartment, but quieter (I hope!).

[User] I can't wait for the day I move out into my own place!

[Assistant] You'll get there. It really is nice to have your own space. Do you live at home?

[User] I do, I live with my parents because I'm in university and I'm still pretty young. Hopefully by next year!

[Assistant] Good for you! Start saving your money now - believe me, you'll need it!


[System] disgusted: I was on the patio and a giant roach crawled out under neath the deck. It was as big as a golf ball.

[User] I was on the patio and a giant roach crawled out from underneath.

[Assistant] Those are my nightmares. They are so big where I live in the South.

[User] It was almost as bug as a golf ball I felt like throwing up.

[Assistant] I would immediately start spraying bug spray all over. Those things terrify me.


[System] confident: I have to go to see my orthopedic surgeon next month. It's a bit of a drive - about 1 1/2 hours, but I've done it before and know I'll manage ok.

[Assistant] I have quite a long drive ahead of me next month. It's about 1/12 hours, but I've don it before so I'll be fine.

[User] I don't know how you do it. I can't stand long drives.

[Assistant] I put music on and open the window. Otherwise I'll disappear into my own little world, and that's not a good thing to do when you're driving!

[User] Definitely not! Music is a great idea though; I listen to music on all bus rides and car rides.

[Assistant] It really helps to pass the time, not to mention it can calm you down. And the drive's quite easy and very pretty, which help.


[System] excited: I was so amped up to go get my new computer from the store

[Assistant] I was so amped yesterday. I got to pick up my now computer for the store!

[Assistant] Thats awesome.  What kind of computer are you getting?

[Assistant] It was just a new model HP that I bought but I'm so excited!

[Assistant] very nice.  Id be super excited too.  Have some fun playing with it


[System] grateful: There's a woman in town who has started delivering groceries to peoples' homes. As I'm disabled, I'm so thankful for her service. Things would be a lot more difficult without it.

[Assistant] I get my groceries delivered to my home and am so grateful for the service.

[User] Yeah it is really nice to have other people do your shopping

[Assistant] It helps me a lot as I'm disabled and it can be quite difficult. Anyway, I hate grocery shopping!

[User] Shopping is no fun, waiting in lines is not fun.

[Assistant] Ugh. And don't even get me started on "mini-shoppers" racing round the aisles screeching! Much better to have someone else buy for me!


[System] sad: I had just watched the notebook. The main character ended up forgetting everything about his life. He died at the end

[User] I just watched the notebook, pretty depressing movie.

[Assistant] I haven't heard of that movie. What's depressing about it?

[User] It's a romantic love story. Doesn't end so well for the main character.

[Assistant] Oh dear. I think I'll give it a miss - I cry at the drop of a hat! You should watch a comedy next, just to cheer yourself up!


[System] impressed: i was in shock when my little boy showeed me he could count to 10 by the age of 1

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


[System] angry: I was walking to the park, I was wearing flip flops, I tripped over a log and smashed my toe.

[User] I just went to the park today.

[Assistant] What did you do there?

[User] I was going to hang out, but I ended up tripping and smashing my toe up into a rock.

[Assistant] Sounds painful, did you have to go to the doctor?


[System] furious: my little brother dumped a glass of water on me while i was sleeping just because we are in a prank war

[User] oh, do you have any revenge planned?


[System] afraid: There was a strange sound coming from outside my window last night and I was so scared!

[Assistant] Last night there was a really strange animal screaming outside my window in the middle of the night

[Assistant] That is really scary!  What was it?

[Assistant] Turned out to be a skunk! It sounded so strange!

[Assistant] Yuck!  Stay away from that guy!


[System] nostalgic: I remember being in college and traveling around Europe

[User] When I was in college I travelled all over Europe one semester.

[User] Yes it was truly an amazing time meeting people from so many different cultures


[System] surprised: I could not believe my eyes when we came home from vacation and the house was clean from top to bottom. The kids had to stay home and decided to help out before we got back. Wonders never cease to amaze me.

[Assistant] We went on vacation and the kids stayed home. I couldn't believe it when I walked in the door and the house was totally clean.

[User] Lol! I thought you were going to say MESSY! Good kids!

[Assistant] Wonders never cease to amaze me. First time for everything I guess, lol

[User] So true! Maybe they want something or they did something bad and are hiding it lol

[Assistant] I totally thought the same thing. Too funny (but you might be right)

[User] Lol ;) Well enjoy the clean house, don't worry about the rest!


[System] excited: I was excited to go on a zip line day trip recently

[User] I went ziplining the other day

[User] oh awesome, i love ziplining, last time i went was 3 years ago tho, how did you find it?

[User] We might have to put our dog down soon.

[Assistant] Oh no. I have been there before. It was really sad.

[User] Yes, she's getting older and she's just getting to that point she can't move around good.
