I often respond with: “Well, I’m still kicking and screaming.” I don’t know why. I think it got used a lot when I was growing up - someone getting dragged kicking and screaming.
Folks get tripped up by that.
For me, it means that despite the fight being hopeless, I’m still trying.
Fuckin a, man.
So far, so good.
Is another of my favorite responses to "how's it going"
One time I was in a really run-down thrift store looking for anything neat that stood out. A random guy asked how I was doing and y'know, I tried to be genuine enough, but in return he gave what is now one of my favorite replies:
"Too blessed t'be stressed!"
The delivery of it was like he actually meant it. Like he was just enjoying his day lookin' at stuff and nothing could bother him.
It's a good outlook, y'know... especially because at the time I was in a miserable job and often used the "Been better" and "I'm here." Responses because I just didn't have much else in me.
I love stories like this because it makes me reflect on random people I've seen who have stuck in my memory for years who probably never noticed me. Makes me wonder if anyone remembers me for something random like this
swandiving into a woodchipper. Love it
if you're a nerd and want to remain mysterious about your status like the OP, just say " red 5 standing by."
It's more of a "I just lost my starboard engine. Get set up for your attack run."
I see no "it is what it is" on here. This one happens a lot where I am
Yup.
You want to make them stop and process, answer it with "I can still walk, how about you?"
