I just take things slow when I work, but I went about it so gracefully that he thought I'd done it before

I’m gonna be honest, I’m not entirely sure what that is. 😂 but congrats. like I said, you seem very knowledgeable, and you’re mentality seems as if you’re always willing to learn. That I suppose is the best way to succeed in life

This is something called a carburetor. It's a mechanical way of feeding fuel to your engine. They used to be common up until around 35 years ago

Oh, I see

You're a smart, young woman if you recognize the value in that approach

It'll get you far in life

Thank you. I attribute that to my parents, in the way that they raised me.

You've got great parents. They did a very good job raising you

At least, based on what I know of them so far

Indeed I do.. they’re good people.

I'd tell em that personally, if I could. It's hard to find people like that anymore, at least out here in Cali

We’re in AZ.. but yeah, younger generations have been more spoiled than raised.. I admire the effort they put into it, with the homeschooling and all.

Damn. They went the extra mile

You've got a bright future ahead of you. I know it

Thank you. I was working in a dental office, and preparing to train for an assistant position

That's a good field that pays very well

And there will always be demand for them

Indeed.. my grandmother is an assistant

I got laid off due to financial reasons, I’m still not sure if that’s the career I want to pursue or not..

Do whatever it is that makes you happy, but have something to fall back on

Tbh, I need something to do till then.. but my ultimate life goal is to be a mother.

You can get whatever you want, if you want it badly enough

Eventually 😂

All in due time

I'm only 23, I still got some time left. I got a long ways to go

True that

Heh. I'm getting the feeling that you're the type of person I could just talk to about whatever for hours on end

I’m getting the same feeling about you 😂 you seem very open.

I am a pretty open book, I'll give you that

And I'm a sucker for a good story

You’re not alone, there 😂

Nothin wrong with that, lol

I happen to enjoy it, personally

Agreed

Something else in modern society that's rare. Lot of folks lack that kind of patience and that yearning to learn from other folks' stories. It's good to see that there are some folks in the younger generations (I feel like an old man saying that) that have that virtue

True.. it’s sad to see. There’s little appreciation for things like that nowadays.

Indeed

I hope that turns around.. in younger generations there’s a lack of respect.. and to me it’s kind of sickening to see.

I hope it does, too. The urban "culture" embodied in a lot of them today is, to use your word, sickening

No doubt..

Respect used to be demanded.. now kids do and say what they please. Discipline has been very underused.
