person A: I can't believe my girlfriend was still interested in me after she saw the slum I was living in.

person A: I only met him a few times_comma_ but he touched a lot of people's lives.
person B: What a sad way to go. If only he could have gotten help. |

person B: Why were they doing that?
person A: I'm not sure. Doors and windows were locked_comma_ but I was so relieved when my husband got home. |
person A: I'm a youth leader_comma_ and just the other day a teen from the group was asked to speak at a local church.
person B: Oh that's awesome! What was the teen asked to speak about? Are they nervous?
person A: He was nervous_comma_ he has to prepare an original message. He did really good_comma_ and he really showed and understanding of the bible.
person B: When I was growing up I know that my youth leader made a huge impact on me_comma_ so it's really a great thing that you do working with kids.
person A: Thank you. |
person A: I get so mad when I have to repeat myself
person B: try not to get so tense_comma_ that can harm your health

person A: It was for work so I had to do it_comma_ but I typically avoid those places as well
person B: You should bring it up to your boss at work for a security guard to accompany you next time! |
person A: We went to a friend's house the other day for dinner. I was helping her cook. I was following the directions of a recipe and accidentally cracked her baking dish.
person B: Did you offer to replace the broken baking dish that you accidently broke?
person A: Yes_comma_ I did_comma_ but she wouldn't even hear of it. She told me it was fine.
person B: That sounds like a good friend_comma_ forgive and forget. She new you did not intend on breaking the baking dish. |
person A: I am looking forward to moving into a easy place to take care of.
person B: That sounds good. Are you moving soon?

person A: The time just flys by doesn't it? It hard to imagine that they dont need you so much anymore. |
person A: So a customer just came into my work and started yelling at me for something that wasn't my fault. I hate when people do that!

person A: Not very well! I mostly just stew and complain about it and wish I had his money and lifestyle.
person B: I bet. It's so annoying when people show off like that. |
person A: I was disgusted when my food had a hair in it
person B: ewww did you get a refund or at least a voucher ?

person B: That was nice! What does Scottish cheese taste like?
person A: This particular one was a cheddar and it tends to be from smaller producers and is creamier and more flavorful than the cheeses we typically get here.
person B: Cheddar is one of my favorites. I live pretty close to Cabot Creamery and I love their sharp cheddar.
person A: Ooh_comma_ I haven't tried Cabot. Must look out for it. The cheddar I normally get is from Tillamook. I think it's from Oregon. Where's Cabot from?
person B: It's located in a small farming town in Vermont. I went on a tour of their factory once and it was interesting to see the cheese being made.
person A: I've never done that. Wonder if there's a cheese factory near me. I'm in NC_comma_ where the people almost all seem as nice as my kind neighbor!
person B: You should definitely check to see_comma_ or stop by Cabot if you ever visit Vermont. |
person A: my brother would've turned 34 today. he died 2 years ago and It still hurts so much

person B: Ah man_comma_ that's a buzz kill_comma_ are you still going to rough it out in the rain?
person A: Nah_comma_ it said there's be thunder and lightning_comma_ so looks like we're stuck inside :(
person B: Ah dang_comma_ well there's always next weekend! |
person A: I spent last weekend with most of my family_comma_ they live out of state and i don't see them often.
person B: Did you have a good time visiting with them?
person A: I did_comma_ Yes. Work has been hectic lately so i was really looking forward to unwinding with them.
person B: What did you guys do?
person A: We ate good food_comma_ drank wine and went swimming.
person B: That sounds fun. Was the weather nice?
person A: It was_comma_ kind of hot but not enough to complain about.
person B: What sort of food did you eat? |
person A: I hate how our country is so divided right now
person B: It is_comma_ but I think it was all along and people are just standing up for what they believe in more now.
person A: True. I hope we can become less divided in the future and solve things
person B: Maybe_comma_ but I think the best we can hope for is tolerance. |
person A: My father passed away about 2 years ago. It was so very difficult for me and very unexpected. We didn't know he had a life-threatening illness and weren't prepared in any way for his sudden departure from us.
person B: I'm very sorry to hear that. Losing anyone close to you_comma_ especially a parent would be very hard. Are you close to other members of your family and were you able to help each other through it?
person A: Yes_comma_ my family and I are close and we were there for each other. But_comma_ my sister had passed away around 6 years before_comma_ by committed suicide. The last few years have been very difficult.
person B: I bet it has. Keep sticking by with your family. I'm sure you are all there for each other more than you know. |
person A: I feel like a terrible sibling right now.
person B: What did you do to feel that way?
person A: My sister_comma_ who lives out of state and i don't see often_comma_ was recently in town visiting our dad. I didn't visit with them.
person B: I'm sorry to hear that_comma_ you could make it up to them by going to visit? |
person A: I am going to a concert very soon.
person B: Cool! Who are you going to see?
person A: Imagine Dragon and Grace Vanderwhall_comma_ do you know them?
person B: Of course! Grace is so talented! She was on America's Got Talent_comma_ right? I get all those reality talent shows confused.
person A: Yes she was. |
person A: Our new property management person is remarkably efficient. She emailed me details of a conversation we had yesterday. The others promise the earth and don't deliver!
person B: Wow_comma_ that sounds amazing!
person A: It is. I've been trying to switch apartments for months and this is the first time someone has actually done anything about it.
person B: Great news then!
person A: Absolutely! I move September 1st. No more stompy screechy neighbors at 3 am!! |
person A: School for my kids started again this past Thursday.
person B: How was that? Were you excited for some more quiet and for them to get back on a schedule? Or are you sad that it shows that they're getting older?
person A: It was good. I am dealing with a mixture of both emotions about them being back in school. I was happy I had all the supplies_comma_ clothes_comma_ shoes_comma_ and other odds and ends in time.
person B: Ah_comma_ that's interesting you say that. I thought you'd just be like everyone else_comma_ who say_comma_ "Happy to nudge them out the door!" You sound like a good parent |
person A: I had planned a beach trip about a month before we actually went.
person B: What beach were you heading too?
person A: We went to Virginia Beach earlier this week. I was so giddy up that whole month I could barely contain myself.

person A: My husband_comma_ 2 kids and my mother. My kids had never been to the beach.
person B: That's awesome_comma_ have you ever tried surfing? |
person A: I bought a ticket last week for the lottery_comma_ when it was over 100 million dollars.
person B: Did you win? LOL
person A: I was so excited watching the numbers being drawn_comma_ but no I didn't win. But someone did! I'm sure they were happy.
person B: Winning those huge jackpots is always a curse. Go for a smaller win :)
person A: True_comma_ but it would be fun spending that money. |
