1. I dont think anyone really wants to hear anything other than great.

2. I’m depressed and going through a lot

   And people take it as a joke

3. I don’t have one because I fucking hate that question.

4. Great, they’ll never find his body.

5. [deleted]

6. I’m sad. I just watched that new documentary on Prime about Randy Rhoads. He was a hero of mine. Such and overwhelming tragedy for me. Such an incredible loss. I know it is better that we celebrate that he lived vs.mourning his loss. But it was a loss. So that’s how my day is ending.

7. Normally goes like this,

   “how’s your day?”
   “I’ve got a pulse”
   “well that’s good”
   “depends on who you ask”
   🤘

8. It depends. If it’s a coworker or someone else who I care little for, just just give a one word answer and a smile. If it’s a friend, I unload all the bullshit the day has dumped on me.

9. ‘Great. Considering I wasn’t in today’s obituaries.’

10. This could be a two minute overview or an hour long account. The choice is yours.

11. I k ow what supposed to come after “how was ypur day?” But im seldom i terested in continuing the conversation.

12. I’ll tell you when I wake up.

13. Eat shit Daryl. You handsome son of a bitch.

14. Obligatory not a man

    I usually go for a “Do you want the honest answer or the easy answer” if its someone I’m mildly close with

15. I’ve said, “My wife doesn’t love me. My kids ridicule me. Even the dog ignores me. How about you?” I can also do the “My life is a joke !” routine to really mess with them.

16. “You tell me. It’s your world I just live in it.”

17. So far so good but it’s still early. Let’s give it some time.

18. The doctor said it’s not cancer, just really bad hemorrhoids.

19. I usually say “Bah”

20. Alive.

21. It’s none of your business. Ask me again and they will find you in the swamps.

22. In the words of Joe Walsh…I can’t complain, but sometimes I still do.

23. ###

24. Saying “fine” and then changing the subject.

25. I’m alive. I have mixed feelings on this but here I am. Waiting.
