How are you doing?

U ask for it, jen. lol. i am worn out from yesterday & not worth a hoot but will re-group, hopefully. I hope u are o.k. Have a great weeknd.hugs.

Hi Jen Good morning , How are you today? How true ! So many take the time to ask ,but never bother to listen or have to run.That's fine but why ask then ? Good question,I surely can't be the proper thing to do.When I take the time to ask ,I listen also. Well trying to figure out such a common way of being rude ,I have no answer except my own above.

Exactly! It has become yet another greetings and people are so busy today that they do not even have time to stop by and listen to what the other person has to say! Sometimes, I out if habit try to explain things about how was I been but only to be ignored. I, myself, make sure to listen. My job demands this and in the process I think I have grown more empatheic.

Hi Jen. I'd have to say that, basically, I'm doing good. VERY basically! LOL I'm in agony from cooking the Turkey Day feast which we celebrated on Wednesday because of my son's working last night until 7:00 this morning. He had security detail at Walmart for the start of the Black Friday shopping deals. He didn't need to be gorging himself with turkey right before working! So, I cooked the big meal on Wednesday. The pain level on the second day after strenuous activity is usually the worst and it's really holding true! My muscles are SCREAMING at me today! Fibromyalgia is bad enough on good days but.... Also, STILL waiting for the big bucks from my over-seven-year-long battle with Social Security Disability. I was approved for it waaaaaaaaaaay back in August and here it is, almost December, and still no big check. It defies words. Also, having to pack away all of my gardening supplies until next Spring kinda brings me down every Fall. Gardening is my passion so having to wait six months before digging in the dirt again seems sooooooo long! But, at least I can start pulling out the Christmas decorations now to keep me occupied. Do you think I should say all of this to the next person to ask me this question? LOL I'd love to see that "I wish I had never asked" look on their face! So, Jen, how are YOU doing?

Hidee hoe! I am on my way out. To sleep that is. It is about 5:30a. I have been getting along better with my granddaughter. She told me she was pregnant a couple of days ago and I am trying to be cordial. She is going to be 18 in another 24 days. Her mom had a dream it would happen when she was sixteen so I guess we lucked out alittle. Hey, for winter I am doing okay. On the vurge of a break at any moment is about the norm for the dark months. So, how is you my friend?

I agree, Jen, that the question has become more habit than actual interest in one's well-being, although when I ask someone I know well, I sincerely DO want to know how they are doing. Just as with the question, the standard response is "fine, thank you. and how are you?" How am I really doing? Pretty well, thank you. Thanksgiving was wonderful and I enjoyed waking up this morning to our first real snowfall of the season :)) Are you doing okay? And yes, I'd really like to know :)) Karen

Today I'm doing really well. It's Saturday so I don't have to go to work but I got up early and got some routine chores done so the rest of the day is pretty much free to do as I please. I'm also feeling better today - I've had a bad cold and then caught a stomach bug so the past couple of weeks I've felt pretty bad and I really hate being unwell. Fingers crossed that seems to be gone now! So a good start to the weekend for me - how about you? How are you doing today?

Good morning Jen! It feels weird to say that because it’s ten past eight p.m. here! (LOL) So many of us say ‘How are you doing?” but do not really care to know in fact I’m sure that many ask the question and secretly hope they don’t receive an answer! I feel sad today because my vet has informed me that we will have to make a decision in regards to putting my sick 13 year old cat to sleep. I knew this was coming but it is still tough!

over all...better than the past few months!:D

Hi Jen, and how are you doing today. Me, I'm pretty tired, but other than that I think I am doing very well today. I was up very early this morning and I spent the majority of the morning fighting the crowds at WalMart, but it gave me the ability to be all the way done with my Christmas shopping with four weeks to spare. That is a first for me and it is something that I am very proud of. It was great to go this evening to the store to buy something that we legitimately needed and not have to waste time looking for Christmas presents.

You're bang on. It has become more of a ritual. It would be infinitely better if we followed it up with a counter offer. Is there anything I can do to help. To be honest, I am struggling at the moment to raise my income level.

hENIN tN good morning, I am doing breakfast now and after that i will go to the service station for my car service and i don't know how much time will spent on my car service and i think all day i will be busy with my said schedule because my office is off today.

I think this is the starting point of a formal talk when we meet to the people or now a days it is very famous in youngster who used to say this.there are lots of greeting sentences which has no specific meaning but when speak out leave some good remark to the others...

Haha, "how are you doing" is usually a rhetorical question. But I always choose to answer with something completely random & strange, like "I'm doing great, just murdered a few people, y'know the usual ;) haha but right now I am doing lovely because I just found this site, and I already like it ALOT. Haha Facebook watch out!

Hi Jenin... this is a very good discussion. I am doing fine and awesome and feeling great definitely. Hope you are also feeling the same way. For me, as long as I could breathe healthily and enjoy my time with my love ones, that is already a good feeling.

Thanks for asking, I'm doing really good this morning. I'm having my first cup of Coffee and a piece of Apple Pie that I couldn't eat last night because I was so full.. Now as soon as it's 3pm I'll be even better because it's my Friday

Hello!I'm doing great these days!but I am not as happy as before,because I live alone now.I have no friends here!EVen I have something great, I DON'T have any friends to share!The only way to communite with my friends is through the INTERNET!So now I always feel lonely!

hi jenin! well, i doing great today? thank for asking, how about you?...it's my day of today so it's gonna be sweat day again in the gym...ooohhh hhhaaa! good morning sweet!!

LOL! How true. Like you say "Do you really want to know?". Today has been somewhat of a stressful day. The cost of living has increased substantially the last few months yet the rate of pay has stayed the same for the past year. It's tough times but we are thankful that we are able to pay all our bills :). In all honesty, I think people don't listen because people complain about their lives. LOL. Like me. Other than that all is good :) How are you?

It's true. When you ask "how are you doing" to someone, usually people don't really mean that they want to know how was your day, it's just a greeting. This kind of greetings exist in all languages, can't be helped, but they always sound like that because it's polite. It's better to say hi in a nice way than to say it in a bad manner.
