[Speaker 1] How did your Philly cheese steaks turn out last time we talked. I bet they were delish!

[Speaker 2] They turned out pretty well, my family enjoyed eating them for dinner. I wouldn't mind making them again in the future, although it would be nice to try something new as well.

[Speaker 1] It's always nice to try out new recipes.  Next time I come over, maybe you can make it again for me so I can finally try one :)  What are your plans for Halloween? Going all out like usual?!

[Speaker 2] Definitely, I had decorated my house and everything for Halloween, its much more extravagent than last years decoration. I plan on taking my family out to trick or treat, around the neighborhood mostly.

[Speaker 1] I wish I were closer so I could see it in person, Halloween is definitely the best holiday!  Although that is during hunting season so you know me and my man will be quite busy.

[Speaker 2] Oh thats interesting to hear. Do you have any hunting plans in particular, such as what you want to hunt this season?

[Speaker 1] I think we're going to hunt deer this year.  That is typically what we do.  Now that my daughters are getting older I tried to get them to join, but they have no interest.  Oh well!  They do however love beading, they must have got that from you.  Have you created any new patterns lately?

[Speaker 2] I did, I was experimenting with a new type of floral design to make some bracelets for my family, I think it turned out well. I did end up running out of materials, so I had hoped on heading out to the store soon to stock up.

[Speaker 1] Your family will love those, you are so talented at whatever you put your mind to!  Have you made any trips to Virginia to see the family lately?

[Speaker 2] Not recently no, I had hoped on doing so this summer. I think Virginia is lovely in the summer, and I would love to visit the beaches with my family when I do travel there.

[Speaker 1] It really is beautiful in the summer. It's been a while since I've been there but they have the best stores to shop at as well.  Perhaps I'll bring the girls down there this summer and join you.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a lovely idea. I think my family would enjoy the your company as well. Are you interested in seeing anything in particular, when you visit Virginia?

[Speaker 2] oh great! I've been wanting to make a summer-themed bracelet! what color beads did you find?

[Speaker 1] It's a whole rainbow of them, reds, greens, blues, I'll make sure you get them in short order. You'll love them!

[Speaker 2] can't wait! did your daughters help you pick them out?

[Speaker 1] They sure did, because they wanted some of their own too. They're really eager to start their next project :)

[Speaker 2] you should encourage them to open an Etsy shop or something so they can share their creations with others! I would love to support them

[Speaker 1] I think that is a great idea, that way I wouldn't have to keep buying them beads and they could buy their own lol

[Speaker 2] haha exactly :) how's your most recent house flipping project going?

[Speaker 1] Well, hubby bit of a little more than he could chew with this one. More of a money pit so we're not expecting a whole lot of profit :(

[Speaker 2] aw that's a bummer. hopefully you'll learn some good lessons moving forward. it often seems like construction projects never go smoothly

[Speaker 1] Well luckily the other project we got going on is going a lot better so we're covered!

[Speaker 2] I do play frequently during holiday period.

[Speaker 1] That makes sense, I always like to relax and play games when I'm on vacation. Have you ever played bingo or anything like that at the beach?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I love going to beach to relax.

[Speaker 1] That's great. I love the beach, as long as there's no cliffs around. You know I don't like heights. I couldn't rock climb like you do. How often do you climb?

[Speaker 1] I'm free on Sunday, but on Saturday I have to go to an event so I can write an article about it.

[Speaker 2] That's fine.  9am too early for you?  It's best to start early before it gets too hot outside.

[Speaker 1] I usually wake up around 8am, so 9 is fine. I'm going to be sweating either way, nervous about the heights!

[Speaker 2] You'll be fine.  You'll be tied to ropes the entire time so you have nothing to worry about.  They did want to know if you still have your gear from last time?

[Speaker 1] I don't, I gave it to my brother. He's always been braver than I am, and he went on a rock climbing trip last month. Do they have spares?

[Speaker 2] They have the ropes, harness, helmet, chalk and the rest of the equipment.  You'll need to get a pair of shoes.  Oh and they said to pack water and protein/snack bars.  Think you swing that by Sunday?

[Speaker 1] No problem! How long does the class last? Are you going to be doing it as well? I hope I don't end up looking foolish in front of everyone!

[Speaker 2] I'm supposed to work on Sunday.  I'll see if I can switch shifts with someone.  You won't look foolish, trust me!  Everyone is a little shaky in the beginning.  The first class will last 2 hours because they need to go over safety rules.  Then you'll start to climb a VERY EASY rock to start.  Only when you feel like you've mastered that will they put you on anything harder.  Excited?

[Speaker 1] Excited, and nervous! But I'm glad it's with people I kind of know, and not in front of a bunch of strangers at a class. I always feel so bad when I feel like I'm holding things up. And even worse when some 8 year old kid goes and does it with no problem!

[Speaker 2] That's because 8 year olds are resilient!  They don't know they need to be scared.  You'll be great.  You know, there's an indoor rock climbing wall that you could practice on in you're interested.  I'm going tomorrow night if you want to join me.

[Speaker 2] Living in colorado, there is not much for me to do.


I am all about family and fun.

I am a free spirit.

The idea of working isn't my cup of tea.

I like to live off of the land.

My parents were like this as well.

I went to an all girls christian high school.

My mother was a sunday school teacher.

I'm an only child.

I dance ballet.

I'm currently in nursing school.

I love my relatives and having a good time.

I am relaxed.

Who wants to grind and toil all day?.

I'm a farmer and grow my own food.

My mom and dad were very similar.

I attended a religious institution.

I am religious.

I don't have any siblings.

I want to be a professional ballerina.

I'm attending college to work in a hospital.

[Speaker 1] Hi there! What are you up to?

[Speaker 2] Hey, I was at an christian secondary school, all girls ;!

[Speaker 1] Checking out the girls or do you attend?

[Speaker 2] My mom taught at the church though, sunday school. Lame!

[Speaker 1] I bet. Church is definitely not my cup of tea... And neither is work!

[Speaker 2] Yep, but I do not have any siblings, its why I am this way!

[Speaker 1] That is okay. That just means you are special and I mean that in a good way

[Speaker 2] Super special 0 I like to do the fancy dancing, or as the french say, ballet!

[Speaker 1] Very fancy! Maybe I'll watch you dance someday... Like a free spirit on the stage!

[Speaker 2] Sure I'm going to be a nurse, I'm at school now!

[Speaker 1] Oh you are in nursing school! Good for you!

[Speaker 2] Thanks, all girls high christian schools rock!, that's where I went.

[Speaker 1] Do yourself a favor and break free from the chains of your past!

[Speaker 2] Yep, my mom, she was a teacher, at the parish on sundays

I dislike church and working.

I am a teenage girl. I go to a Christian school.

My family is religious.

I am an only child.

I do ballet.

I want to be a nurse.

[Speaker 1] How is the ballet going?

[Speaker 2] I actually got hurt yesterday during practice si that was a bummer! I am waiting to hear back from the doctor still. He x-rayed my foot.

[Speaker 1] Oh no I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope everything will be okay, I forgot how strenuous ballet can be.

[Speaker 2] Thank you I have been really depressed about it and am hoping it won't keep my out for months. I will lose so much progress if I can't practice daily. How's work going for you?

[Speaker 1] Well I'm sure God will be on your side for this one and you'll heal quickly. I wish you the best! Work is so-so, my boss has been making so many demands lately.

[Speaker 2] Oh, gesh! I understand demanding bossy bosses! lol They can be a real pain too! I need to remember that my church upbrings has given me nuggets of faith to hold onto.

[Speaker 1] Well that's good. I wish I was as religious as you then maybe I'd have more faith in everything. By the way how is school going?

[Speaker 2] I was raised this way so church and faith filled schools are all I have ever experienced before. I have been getting good grades and doing really well on my exams. I have to get good grades in order to attend ballet so I always study before tests.

[Speaker 1] Sounds tough, it can't be easy studying to be a nurse. I do accounting and that's nothing compared to the challenges you'll be facing. I think all your experiences will work out for the best and it's awesome that you're doing so well on your tests.

[Speaker 2] I totally agree that our life experience prepares us for our career paths. Do you think you should show me the basics of balancing my checkbook sometime?

[Speaker 1] Of course that would be no problem. I'm always happy to help those in need. Come over sometime and we'll get it settled.

[Speaker 2] That would be great especially if my foot is broken! I will have a lot of spare time to learn about how to manage my basic finances. I don't have very much money to manage! lol

I dislike church and working.
My boss is demanding.
I do accounting.

I am a teenage girl. My family is religious. I am an only child.

I want to be a nurse.

I got hurt in ballet.  I got X-rays on my foot. I have been really depressed about my accident.

I go to a Christian school. I get good grades.

I do not have much money. I need to learn to balance my checkbook.

[Speaker 1] Have you heard back from the doctor about your foot?

[Speaker 2] Yes. I'm going to need surgery. I tore my ACL. It's very discouraging, but I'm trying to look on the bright side.

[Speaker 1] Oh no, what's the recovery time on that after surgery? Will you need physio?

[Speaker 2] It's going to be like 4 months. I'm really going to miss dancing. How is your work?

[Speaker 1] He is still a pain. I have a couple of interviews lined up for new jobs, that's keeping me going.

[Speaker 2] That's good news. Are these remote jobs or do you have to go in?

[Speaker 1] Remote 3 days in the office for 2 days

[Speaker 2] It's nice to have that flexibility. My dad is working from home now and seems to like it. My mom is a nurse and is going in to the hospital each day. She's my inspiration.

[Speaker 1] That's good he is liking. Amazing that your mum's a nurse it really is a vocation. Do you want to be a nurse then?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I don't think dancing is a good career choice, and I love seeing my mom do so much good in the world. Have you thought about doing anything outside of accounting?

[Speaker 1] I have spent to long studying to switch but I would like to learn about forensic accounting. It's how you catch criminal and money laundering.

[Speaker 2] That sounds really cool. Have you watched that show Ozark? Money laundering is crazy.

[Speaker 1] I couldn't. I ended up ducking into a movie theatre next door to the show.

[Speaker 2] You must be extremely anxious

[Speaker 1] Oh yes. My shyness is debilitating. I cannot bring myself to sing in public.

[Speaker 2] I hope you can get over that and recover from it.

[Speaker 1] Hope so too! Whats your greatest weakness?

[Speaker 2] I believe you are an amazing singer and can do it.

[Speaker 1] Thanks for the vote of confidence, take care!!!

[Speaker 2] No problem. I can see that you need it.

I am a singer.

I am trying to overcome shyness

I don't really like sports.

I live in Canada.

I love soccer. I play soccer.

I don't have a good voice. I like video games. I have a brother.

[Speaker 1] I sang in front of a small crowd.

[Speaker 2] How did it go?  Did you overcome your fear?

[Speaker 1] Gosh, It is one of those personal problems that still come up every now and then. I still have the fear about 50% of the time. How is your brother doing? Anything new?

[Speaker 2] Well I'm glad you were able to sing in front of a small crowd at least.  He's doing great.  He's looking at buying a house soon so I'm gong with him to a couple open houses this weekend.

[Speaker 1] How fun! That is wonderful news! I have never been to Canada but would love to visit sometime. I have heard many singers start their careers there. What type of house does he want to buy?

[Speaker 2] Canada is a great place, you should definitely visit sometime.  I don't know of the great places to visit for singers and performances, but I will talk to a couple of my friends and let you know some good places to come to if you would decide to visit sometime!  He wants to buy a fixer-upper that he can re-do and add his own style too.

[Speaker 1] Okay, thank you I would appreciate all the info you could gather for me. I love buying and fixing up homes. I did that for about 10 years and made a good living so if you ever need any tips I can help you guys out.

[Speaker 2] Of course, I will definitely get some info for you.  Awesome!  Once my brother finds a house I'm sure he would love any tips and help you can give us!  Thank you so much.  Do you still buy and fix up houses?

[Speaker 1] You are so welcome! When the banks stopped financing the !00% loans and the economy started to decline I started losing a lot of equity. After a lot of hard choices I had to close my business and try to dig myself out of debt for a while. Singing was my peaceful place and helped me get through a really hard time in my life. I need to get into exercising more and am considering soccer, like you.

[Speaker 2] I am so sorry you had to go through all of that.  I'm glad singing brought you out of that hard time and helped you deal with that.  Do you write your own songs?  Soccer is a great work out and so much fun!  If you need any help on where to start with it I can give you some pointers on different drills and basics and even send you some great tutorial videos.

I am a singer. I want to sing in front of an audience but I am too shy. I once walked away from an audition because I was too nervous. I'm afraid to sing in front of people about half the time.

I've never been to Canada, but I'd love to go.

I love buying and fixing up homes. I did that for 10 years.

When the economy declined, I lost money flipping houses. Singing got me through a hard time.

I don't really like sports. I need to exercise more. I'm thinking about playing soccer.

I live in Canada.

I love soccer. I play soccer.

My brother is going to buy a house. I will go with him to look at houses this weekend. My brother wants to buy a fixer-upper.

[Speaker 1] I'm sending you some videos to send to your brother about fixing up his house when he gets it.

[Speaker 2] Awesome. Any advice about what he should look for in a house to fix up?

[Speaker 1] I would start by just suggesting he doesn't go for anything that is going to be too big of a project for him - especially since it is his first time.

[Speaker 2] So no knocking down walls? Lol.

[Speaker 1] Not necessarily. I just wouldn't recommend a place that needs lots of walls knocked down along with new plumbing, electricals, new roof etc. That takes alot of time and if you don't know what you are doing can be very expensive!

[Speaker 2] Okay. I'll tell him to stick to simple patch-work. Fixing holes, new coat of paint. I know nothing about fixing stuff. I'm only there tell him if I think the house looks pretty.

[Speaker 1] LOL I'm sure there will be lots of decorating you can advise on! What sort of decor do you like?

[Speaker 2] I like minimalist myself, but he prefers ugly clutter. Posters all over the walls, rows of knick-knacks filling the shelves.

[Speaker 1] I have too much stuff to be a minimalist. I would consider that homely!

[Speaker 2] To each there own. How's the singing going? Working on any new songs?

[Speaker 1] No new songs but I have been practising - hoping I can get up the courage to perform properly someday.

[Speaker 2] Let me know if you ever are performing. I'll be there, front row, center.


I brew my own beer.
I am gay.
I like to make my own coffee.
I live in portland, oregon.

Sometimes, I have sword fights with strangers in the park.

I am particular about the taste of my beverages.

I like people of the same sex and gender as me.

I periodically engage in fantasy battles with people I don't know in public places.

Science fiction flicks are my favorite!.

[Speaker 1] Hi, I'm about to brew some coffee.

[Speaker 2] Hi there, I prefer to get my daily caffeine from mountain dew.

[Speaker 1] That's outrageous, I live in the north west coast, we make our own craft beer.

[Speaker 2] Do you like to watch movies? My favorites are films like independence day.

[Speaker 1] Yes I love those films, I watch them all the time with my boyfriend.

[Speaker 2] I met my boyfriend at a chess tournament. We were both competitors.

[Speaker 1] Sounds like true love, maybe you guys should visit us. We have great weather.

[Speaker 2] Are there any l. A. R. P events in the area? We go to those often.

[Speaker 1] Yes we have a few of those, I usually provide the refreshments.

[Speaker 2] Awesome. I'll check the schedule and pack up my costume.

[Speaker 1] Okay great, the city is portland, oregon.

[Speaker 2] Wasn't there a movie about alien invasion made there?

[Speaker 1] There might have been, I was probably too busy making coffee.

[Speaker 2] Ll takes me 4 mountain dews a day to get my quota of caffeine.

[Speaker 1] That makes me want to take a run down to the docks.

[Speaker 2] Docks are especially fun for sword fights. The water hazard makes it so suspenseful.

I like coffee.

We make our own beer and coffee.

I love films like Independence day too. I have a boyfriend.

I live in Portland Oregon.

I like to run at the docks.

I like films like Independence Day.

I wear a costume to I. A. R. P. events.

I like sword fights at the docks.

[Speaker 1] So how was your sword fight? That sounds invigorating.

[Speaker 2] It really got my heart rate up! It was kind of exciting even though it was a draw. When was the last time you ran the docks?

[Speaker 1] It sounds more fun than running at the docks that's for sure! I ran this morning actually, by any chance was it Portland docks you had your fight?

[Speaker 2] It was! Maybe you'll see me on your next run. Are you training for anything? A marathon perhaps?

[Speaker 1] I'll have to duck and weave your sword as I'm running if I see you! At the moment no, I just run for cardio training, although I have ran a few half marathons in the past. Speaking of health, 4 mountain dews is a lot, you should replace a few with some great coffee!

[Speaker 2] I was thinking of trying a chain called Starbucks. But can you recommend something you brew at home?

[Speaker 1] I have a friend that gets beans imported from Columbia, I could bring some to your next sword fight if you want to try some! Did you manage to beat your boyfriend at chess again last night

[Speaker 2] I did, but it was a very close game. I'm trying to play against the computer more to practice my chess strategies. It's nearly impossible to beat the computer!

[Speaker 1] It depends what difficulty you use, I like to play on beginner to boost my ego sometimes ha! I watched the new Gerard Butler disaster movie last night, I highly recommend it to you.

[Speaker 2] What was it called? I love disaster movies... I even bought a soundbar to enhance my TV's sound for the big explosion scences.

[Speaker 1] It's called Greenland. It starts a little slow but is nothing but action and tense scenes after! Did you get the one which was on offer in Walmart?

[Speaker 2] That movie sounds fantastic! And yes, I did get it on sale. I love a good deal! I have to admit I also picked up some Mountain Dew while I was there...

I like coffee. We make our own beer and coffee.

I love disaster films like Independence day too. I have a boyfriend.

I live in Portland Oregon.

I have a sound bar. I love sales.

[Speaker 1] Who is winning in the household chess comptetion?

[Speaker 2] I am....but he thinks he is. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. lol. Try any new coffee drinks lately?

[Speaker 1] I'm working on a new one that's got a cheesecake flavor to it. I'm not convinced it's 100% yet, but it's going to be popular once I can really nail the creamy flavor!

[Speaker 2] I love cheesecake. That would be a flavor I would buy. I hope you succeed and market it.

[Speaker 1] I should let you try it next time you stop by! I'm getting to the final rounds of taste tests, for sure. Is cheesecake your favorite dessert?

[Speaker 2] yes! I love to try out new flavors of cheesecake. I Have even tried a mt. dew cheesecake. It had such a bright green color to it. after I have a slice, I need to get to the docks and do more sword fighting

[Speaker 1] I'm a bit weary of that! Did you like it? I can't imagine a creamy taste melding well with Mountain Dew!

[Speaker 2] It was surpisingly good. Would that make good refreshments at the IARP events?

[Speaker 1] As long as people like it, anything goes! Cheesecakes can also be made in muffin tins so they end up being personal and easy to eat with your hands. Good for on the go!

[Speaker 2] Good idea! people are so clever to come up with ideas like that. I gain a lot of inspiration from them. Speaking of inspiration, I ought to study some chess moves so I can win more chess games

[Speaker 1] Yes! Learn some new strategies and teach your boyfriend who's boss! Hopefully you can place higher than him at the next competivie event you're both in. If you two want to make a bet about it, I'll let the winner pick the next kind of beer I brew!

[Speaker 1] I'm a friendly viking and I only eat fish that I catch on my viking boat.

[Speaker 2] I would worry that you'd sack our recycling centers.

[Speaker 2] Oh. I am going to backtrack now! I don't want to be trapped with a bunch of Vikings! HA! I would rather have a fine dining experience instead!

[Speaker 1] That's understandable, and I would probably prefer that too for tonight. What's your favorite restaurant in California?

[Speaker 2] Okay, deal! I really love Bubba Gumps in Monterey. The whole place is themed from the movie Forrest Gump! Have you heard of it?

[Speaker 1] I haven't! It sounds like fun though. Would you call it "fine dining", or no?

[Speaker 2] Well, it isn't fine dining, you're right! Its more like "fun dining"! My favorite thing on the menu is Bucket of Boat Trash, its a bunch of seafood in a bucket.

[Speaker 1] Haha well you can't go wrong there! I love fish! I fish from my boat all the time. Have you ever caught fresh fish?

[Speaker 2] I love fishing too! I have been on a fishing excursion in Hawaii and off of the coast of Alaska.

[Speaker 2] The film is a documentary. I'm sorry to hear about your dog. Is he doing better or will you take him to the vet?

[Speaker 1] I love documentaries, I think they are a good way to expand your knowledge and understanding of the world. What is the topic of your documentary? I'm taking him to the vet tomorrow morning when they are open but I think he will be fine as he has started to eat again.

[Speaker 2] It is a documentary about the environment and the damage done by fracking natural gas. Great to hear! I'm glad he's feeling better. How many dogs do you have?

[Speaker 1] That sounds interesting, I'd watch it when it comes out but I'm sure it will be a while as you have only started it. I have 8 dogs in total, they are quite chaotic to say the least. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a handful

[Speaker 1] Yeah it is tough but rewarding to have them all, sledding with them is very fun? Do you get much snow where you are from?

[Speaker 2] I do! We just got close to a foot of snow last week! It's really beautiful. How much snow do you need to sled with dogs? (I'm sorry, my last message sent before I was finished with it).

[Speaker 1] Around 2-4 inches is needed for sledding. Snow is very beautiful but unfortunately it only comes with cold weather. I love the warmer weather in the summer too. Maybe you could make a film on dog sledding sometime?

[Speaker 2] I actually love winter. I would love to make a film about dog sledding! Maybe you know some people I could interview.

I am from nova scotia.

I like to climb.

I race dog sleds. I have sled dogs. I have 8 dogs.

I love documentaries.

I love warm weather.

I have been to nova scotia.

I have been on the news. I am well-known.

I make documentaries. I am making a film about fracking.

I love cold weather.

[Speaker 1] I watched an interesting documentary about sledding.

[Speaker 2] Oh cool, I'll have to give it a watch! Did your dogs enjoying seeing other dogs on screen>

[Speaker 1] My 6 working dogs live outside. But my 2 old boys in the house definitely enjoyed it - they had their noses pressed right up to the screen. It was really funny.

[Speaker 2] Haha, I bet that was really funny to see! Have you got any races coming up soon?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I have one next weekend that we are currently training for. It is a much longer race than we normally compete in so I'm excited to see how my dogs cope with it. I picked up a few pointers from the documentary that I hope to use.

[Speaker 2] Well I hope it goes well for you! Hopefully your dogs will do you proud!

[Speaker 1] Whatever happens I'm sure they will. So what's happening with your film - nearly finished?

[Speaker 2] It's getting there, I've got a lot of editing left to do, this is the part I find the most frustrating during film making.

[Speaker 1] I never knew how time consuming it was until I watched a documentary about the film industry. I'd just never considered that. How long do you think it will take?

[Speaker 2] I think I've probably got a few months left until it's properly finished, I don't think I'll need to do any re-shoots though so that will help!

[Speaker 1] Oh that's good then. How is the film being released?

[Speaker 2] We have a deal with an online streaming service, I'm not allowed to say which one, but it's one of the big two! Keep an eye out!!

[Speaker 2] Hey hows it going tonight?

[Speaker 1] Good! The usual! Waking the dogs, feeding the cats!!

[Speaker 2] Ohhh nice I love dogs, what are you getting up to after the walk?

[Speaker 1] One word! Quake! As always! You?

[Speaker 2] Oh my me too, its my favorite game actually, we gotta play sometime!

[Speaker 1] Surely!! I play it on slackware linux! Where do you live?

[Speaker 2] I'm down! In new york! Working as an officer of the law these days.

[Speaker 1] How about a lan? I could drive over there! I am from chicago!!

[Speaker 2] As long as we are not eating broccoli at the lan!

[Speaker 1] My three dogs like broccoli!! So!! What do you like to do in your free time?

[Speaker 2] Just play games and walk my dogs honestly.

[Speaker 1] Our pets could meet too!! I've 3 dogs and 2 cats!!!

[Speaker 2] Meet up have a lan session and walk the animals!! It would be fun

[Speaker 1] That is right! Those are the things that make me happy!!

[Speaker 2] What do you do for work?

I play Quake on slackware linux.

I am from Chicago.  I can drive.

I have 3 dogs and 2 cats.  My dogs like broccoli.

Pets make me happy.

I love dogs.
Quake is my favorite game.
I live in New York. I am a law officer.
I do not like broccoli.

[Speaker 1] I just finished a game of Quake.

[Speaker 2] How did you do in the game? I am about to start another game tonight.

[Speaker 1] I did alright. Not my best, but that's okay! Nice! What level are you on?

[Speaker 2] I finished the last game at level 38, the highest level. I was proud because I had never done that! So I'm starting at the first level again.

[Speaker 1] Great job! I have only made it to level 38 a few times. Sometimes it's nice to start back at level 1. Have you tried the multiplayer version?

[Speaker 2] I haven't yet, but I do want to. I am finding it harder to find time to play with my work schedule so crazy the last few months. Have you tried Quake II yet? It looks really good!

[Speaker 1] That makes sense. I imagine you have a lot of work! I haven't tried it yet. It does look really good though!

[Speaker 2] Yes, work is getting more intense with each tour (what we call a shift) I do. The stress can be unreal, so Quake and other games really help me to unwind. I would also like to try some of the other Quake specialty games. Have you tried any?

[Speaker 1] That makes sense. I like playing the game to unwind too. It helps distract from everything else in life! I have not tried any of the specialty games. I enjoy the original too much to change!

[Speaker 2] The original is definitely my favorite as well! I always seem to find something new, including some easter eggs that I haven't found previously.

[Speaker 1] Same! It's always exciting to find the easter eggs! Do any of the specialty versions have easter eggs?

[Speaker 2] Yes, they all have their own easter eggs! There are some great videos about them online. I like trying to find them by myself without help, though. But sometimes they are very elusive.

I play Quake on slackware linux. I don't haven't tried any other specialty games besides Quake.

I am from Chicago.  I can drive.

I love dogs.

Quake is my favorite game. I reached level 38 in Quake, which is the highest level.

I live in New York. I am a law officer. I have a crazy work schedule.

I do not like broccoli.

I like trying to find Easter eggs in video games.

[Speaker 1] My dog knocked over my router today and disconnected my internet in the middle of a Quake game!

[Speaker 2] Which one of your three dogs knocked over the router?

[Speaker 1] I'm pretty sure it was Tortellini because she has been whimpering ever since she realized I was upset. No broccoli treats for her tonight!

[Speaker 2] Poor dog! I am sure it was an accident. So odd they love broccoli, how did you ever discover that?

[Speaker 1] I was steaming a bag of it, and they kept jumping up and licking their lips the same way they do when I'm making bacon, which is their favorite. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 2] Well I bet the broccoli is healthier for them than the bacon! I would love a dog, but with my work schedule I do not have the time.

[Speaker 1] What about cats? Mine are way less of a handful than the dogs, and they're great company! One of them is turning 17 next week.

[Speaker 2] Wow! 17 is crazy age for a cat! I am honestly more of a dog person. I have nothing against cats, but if I were to have a pet, it would have to be a dog.

[Speaker 1] Her mother lived to be 23. They've got some good genes! Surprisingly, the cats also like broccoli. And it's good for all of them, so I always make some extra for the animals whenever I'm having some for myself! It's good encouragement to eat my veggies, because I don't care for the green stuff much otherwise.

[Speaker 2] Well I guess between the genes and the broccoli, your animals will live a long happy life!

[Speaker 1] That's the hope! So, have you found any interesting easter eggs lately?

[Speaker 2] Unfortunately haven't found any this week! But I believe I am on the verge of locating the one I have been searching for. Wish me luck!


I m a older woman.
My favorite food is pasta.
I love helping people.
I live in a rural area.

I work in a factory.

I am very unproductive unless it comes to my job.

I'm not social.

I do not eat well.

I sleep most of the day.

I am a seasoned girl.
I love italian cooking.
I volunteer as much as possible.
I have a home in the suburbs.

I'm a labor worker.

I am so lazy at home but not at work.

I don't enjoy spending time with people.

I'm unhealthy.

I spend my afternoon hours relaxing.

[Speaker 1] Hello there how are you?

[Speaker 2] Hi. Alright. Just tired from work.

[Speaker 1] Oh what kind of work do you do?

[Speaker 2] Nothing fancy. Just factory work. You?

[Speaker 1] I'm retired. I do a lot of volunteer work

[Speaker 2] That sounds a bit boring.

[Speaker 1] I enjoy helping others so I find value in it

[Speaker 2] Well if I was retired, I'd be relaxing as much as possible.

[Speaker 1] Relaxing is nice. Where I live pretty empty for the most part.

[Speaker 2] Where do you live, if I may ask?

[Speaker 1] More in the countryside. There is a lot of farmland around here.

[Speaker 2] That sounds so similar to my town.

[Speaker 1] Oh do you live in small town?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes. It is quite boring. Which is why I do not go out often.

I volunteer. I am retired.
I live in the countryside.

[Speaker 1] I've have had a few days off volunteering so went walking in the countryside.

[Speaker 2] That sounds really relaxing. I would love to have more time to go walking. My town has spots to do that, but I'm always so busy at the factory. How was the walk?

[Speaker 1] I was able to spot a few blue birds and robins so that was a joy. I love bird watching so I take my binoculars when a go on walks.

[Speaker 2] That sounds really fun. I especially love seeing the birds in the Spring, after a long winter. How often are you able to go on walks?

[Speaker 1] I volunteer a few days a week so I try to walk on the days I am not working. I would love company if you ever get a break from work. I am getting pretty good at spotting owls now too.

[Speaker 2] I really would love that. I could use the stress release for sure. It's hard working in the factory all the time, you know? What did you do before you retired?

[Speaker 1] I agree that work can  be stressful. I was a nurse for many years and worked in a local hospital. I was able to make a lot of friends and had a rewarding career.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that does sound like quite a career. I think being a nurse would be more rewarding than being a factory worker, but we do what we can with the talents we have, huh?

[Speaker 1] I had a lot of people who dear friends and who passed away under my care so it was an emotional career and could become overwhelming when I was younger. I agree we all have a calling though.

[Speaker 2] Yes, that would be very difficult. I have to imagine that they appreciated you being there for them, regardless. I know if I was in a difficult situation like that, I would be happy to have a friend care for me. In my town, everybody knows everybody anyway, haha.

[Speaker 1] Yes, it sounds like you can understand how I was feeling. I often find that people don't like talking about end of life but that was what I faced daily for many years.

[Speaker 2] I think that helps provide some perspective on life itself, though. I know for me, whenever I consider what the end of life will be like, it helps remind me to make the most of the time I have. It's a good thing to confront our mortality, I think. But I also understand it can be overwhelming when it's every day.

I volunteer.
I live in the countryside.
I like to bird watch.
I'm retired. I used to be a nurse.

I work in a factory.
I live in a small town.
I work at a factory.

[Speaker 1] What kind of factory do you work in?

[Speaker 2] It's a packaging factory, so we make boxes for different products and companies, it's really nothing interesting!

[Speaker 1] I would have thought there would have been machines doing that. Do you enjoy your job?

[Speaker 2] Well we help do some of the more intricate work, some of the packaging is quite specifically designed, but there are a lot of machines there too. My job is ok, I often wish I had trained to do something else.

[Speaker 1] Well it is never to late to retrain. What would your dream job be?

[Speaker 2] I don't know... I'm not the smartest so I don't know what else I would be good at! I do like being outside in the garden, maybe a gardener? But then I guess you have to deal with the weather!

[Speaker 1] Yes, I suppose you would need to work even if it was colder or raining. I wouldn't mind that though - I often bird watch in the rain. Well you never know an opportunity may come your way and you'll find yourself working in a job you love.

[Speaker 2] Maybe, I could do with thinking more positively like you do, I always seem to see the bad side of things. What is your favourite bird that you have spotted?

[Speaker 1] Positive thinking will always help. My favorite is probably the blue bird. I think they are so pretty and they sing a lovely song too. I don't really see them that often though.

[Speaker 2] Ah, I'm not sure if I've ever actually seen a blue bird up close? I bet you have to have a lot of patience in order to see most birds.

[Speaker 1] Oh yes you do. You need to be able to sit and stand quietly as well - they are easily frightened!

[Speaker 2] Yeah I bet! I guess I'd get to see a lot of them if I was doing gardening full time!

[Speaker 2] I miss it sometimes what do you do for work I am a personal trainer

[Speaker 1] I'm a tarot card reader. It is a fun job.

[Speaker 2] Cool do you go hiking? I like the outdoors

[Speaker 1] Nope. But I'd love to learn self defense someday.

[Speaker 2] Its a good skill to have

[Speaker 1] I'll bring my sister, who is also my best friend.

[Speaker 2] That's cool that you guys are close I am going fishing this weekend

[Speaker 1] Love fishing. Just caught a huge bass last weekend.

[Speaker 2] Awesome I try to go most weekends

[Speaker 1] Same here. When the weather permits.

[Speaker 2] Yea its relaxing do you have weekend plans?

[Speaker 1] Just to make some candles and read some cards.

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds pretty mellow

I do not go hiking.  I would like to learn self defense.

My sister is my best friend.

I try to go fishing on the weekends.

I am Dave from Nevada.

I was in school. I am a personal trainer.

I try to go fishing on the weekends.

[Speaker 1] I had some interesting results reading my tarot cards. My candle-making went well.

[Speaker 2] Oh do tell :) what did you tarot cards tell you?

[Speaker 1] It sounds like I have something exciting happening in the future but I am not sure what it is. I am excited to see what my future brings. I need to come over and give you a reading one day!

[Speaker 2] I would really like that. Perhaps we could make a day of it and do some fishing afterwards, or even before.

[Speaker 1] That would be great! I love fishing!! My dad, sister, and I fished a lot growing up. We will have to plan a fishing trip. Where is your favorite place to fish?

[Speaker 2] There is a remote lake here in Nevada that I often go to. Hardly anyone knows about it. The fishing is great, and I rarely run into other people. And what's this about candle-making, I didn't know that was something you wanted to do. Sounds kinda cool.

[Speaker 1] I will have to come visit Nevada very soon so we can fish that lake! It sounds great! I could also show you some tips and tricks on candle making. It is SUCH a fun hobby! Plus, everyone loves a nice scented candle.

[Speaker 2] You are right, I love the scent of juniper candles... so relaxing! I would love for you to come and visit. I am free for the next few months, work has slowed down a bit, its our less busy season.

[Speaker 1] Oh juniper is my favorite!!!

[Speaker 2] Really? Oh that's funny :) ... but it is a great scent isn't it. Hey, how is your sister? Is she well?

[Speaker 1] It is! Did you know that the Juniper tree produces seeds that mice eat and leave holes in. You can use these seeds as beads to make jewelry! My sister and I used to LOVE collecting juniper seeds. She's doing well! She started a new job, so she has been a little too busy to fish.

[Speaker 2] OMG I love that tidbit of information. I had no idea! Really glad she is doing well, I know how close you two are.

I love to watch shows on netflix.

I am a tarot card reader. I enjoy my job. I am excited for my future.

My sister is my best friend.

I try to go fishing on the weekends. My dad and my sister and I would go fishing together as a child.

I make candles. I like juniper.

I am Dave from Nevada.

I try to go fishing on the weekends.

I like juniper scented candles.

[Speaker 1] Do you want to come fishing near me, instead of me going to you?

[Speaker 2] I would love to. When do you want me to come?

[Speaker 1] I know you are travelling a long way from Nevada, so whenever works best for you. The summer months are definitely the best. Nothing beats an Midwest Summer!

[Speaker 2] Sounds good. I can confirm it later this week once I check my schedule. And yes, I am travelling a long way. So I want to do everything I can while I am there. Does it work for you?

[Speaker 1] Yes of course! We can plan a bunch of outings, but lots of fishing for sure! I am excited for you to meet my sister, and for me to read your tarot cards! Is there anything else you would be interested in doing while visiting Chicago?

[Speaker 2] Yes, yes, lots of fishing. I would love to meet your sister. I can hear some of your childhood stories from her. We can watch some of your favorite movies. And, how did I forgot to mention this? You should try hiking with me. You will love it. I know you don't go for hiking. But, you know, you can give a try. No pressure!

[Speaker 1] Oh I am sure my sister has lots of stories about me, haha! They are all embarrassing, I am sure. If the weather is not great on some days, we can make those our movie days. You're right, I don't have much interest in hiking, but since you as passionate about it I will give it a try. I will hike if you do some candle making with me!

[Speaker 2] Don't worry about those stories, I won't make fun of you. Kidding! I will tease you, hahaha! And it's great that you are coming to hike for me, it means a lot. Yes, I would love to make some candle with you. I can surprise you.

[Speaker 1] Hahaha I can handle LITTLE teasing! So this hike, though...a short one right? And not uphill...

[Speaker 2] Definitely, a short one. I don't want to get restless while I am there. As I said, I want to everything I can while I am there. But I will consider uphill, if you want. That way we can spend more time knowing about each other.

[Speaker 1] Yes, that is what I am looking forward to the most. We have different interests but we are both open to learning about the other, so it will be great to spend that quality time and build a strong relationship.

[Speaker 1] The water is a good place to be, I like biking by the lake.

[Speaker 2] I love dessert. I could eat it a lot

[Speaker 1] I love making brownies or pies too, I understand that.

[Speaker 2] I like whip cream but I'm doing my best to stay away

[Speaker 1] Good for you, I need to practice more self control.

I don't speak any foreign languages.

[Speaker 1] I just learned a new dessert recipe that I think you might enjoy.

[Speaker 2] Really? What is the recipe?

[Speaker 1] Its a recipe for a caramel apple pie.  I have my mom's apple pie recipe but adding in that caramel makes it fun and new.  It calls for whipped cream but you don't have to use it if you don't want to.  You should come over and try it!  That way, I don't eat the whole pie myself.

[Speaker 2] Lol. That sounds awesome!! I'll stop by later! Will you make your famous lasagna or fajitas? Or we can just have the apple pie for lunch.

[Speaker 1] Apple pie lunch sounds perfect but I'll make some lasagna too, why not! I think we should also plan on taking a nice long walk after eating all that food!

[Speaker 2] That sounds good! We can go to the lake. Do you fish or exercise?

[Speaker 1] I don't fish but I do love riding my bike!  Walking by the lake sounds lovely!  I'll pack us some brownies in case we get hungry while walking.

[Speaker 2] hahaha... I think I'm gonna have a food coma. Thought you're trying to have more self-control on food?

[Speaker 1] You really inspired me when you cut whipped cream out of your diet but I just can't help myself sometimes.  OK, maybe I'll save the brownies for AFTER our nap, haha.  That way we can really enjoy the nature as it is.  You'll have to show me your favorite walking path! I've taken my bike to the lake quite a few times and it seems every time I'm there I discover something new.

[Speaker 2] Oh I'll show you my favorite walking path! It's pretty desolated with lots of wildlife! Lots of turtles and I even stepped on a frog once! And it's a great site to do bird watch if that's something you

[Speaker 1] Yikes about that frog, haha!  That path sounds like a great way to relax in nature; sounds like a great plan.  I do love bird watching, in fact I learned to love it while studying abroad in France.  I still owe you that French lesson!

[Speaker 2] French is the most beautiful language in the world! The speaking sounds like singing... I wish I can learn French one day.

I think I am funny.

I like nature. I like animals. I like birdwatching.

[Speaker 1] I tried a new recipe today!

[Speaker 2] What did you try? I'm eager to learn something new

[Speaker 1] It was a gluten free cheery pie! It tasted like a regular pie but people with gluten intolerance can eat it as well!

[Speaker 2] Sounds delicious! I wouldn't mind trying some of your fajitas, those sound pretty yummy!

[Speaker 1] Yeah I am starting to cook other things besides fajitas. My Family says there are getting sick of Mexican food. I have been studying French cooking lately.

[Speaker 2] Oh man, well if you need someone to feed, I'm your person! My appetite has been pretty ravenous as of late lol

[Speaker 1] Well maybe I can have you over for dinner and teach about French food and language. Did you still want to go to the lake with me too?

[Speaker 2] Sure, that sounds like lots of fun! Nothing like a relaxing lake jaunt after a good filling meal :)

[Speaker 1] The lake by my house is beautiful. It has won awards for being one of the cleanest lakes in the USA. We also have a pontoon you can ride!

[Speaker 2] I can't remember the last time I went on a pontoon boat, must have been when I was a kid! Sounds awesome!

[Speaker 1] I promise you it will be a great time!

[Speaker 2] I can't wait! I'll bring some of my cooking too to make it fair lol


I like watching action adventure movies and eating popcorn.

I m starting an internship at a construction site next week.

I love riding roller coasters.

My mother raised me since my father left when I was five years old.

I wish I could write in cursive.

I wait for something interesting to happen each day.

I wish I could live in iceland.

I enjoy cold winters and strong breezes.

I listen to a lot of strange music.

I love salty snacks in front of a large screen.

I like to work with my hands.

I am a thrill seeker.

I had a rocky childhood.

I would like to have better penmanship.
My life is boring.
I'd like to stay cold.
I live in chicago.
I've odd tastes in songs.

[Speaker 1] Hi! How are you this dreary day?

[Speaker 2] Practicing my cursive I'm terrible at it. Yourself?

[Speaker 1] I'm ok. Too rainy and cold out. I have great penmanship for a man.

[Speaker 2] Really where are you at sir?

[Speaker 1] I'm in wisconsin. My ma raised me here since my pops left.

[Speaker 2] Dang its 80 degrees at my house. I do enjoy cold winters tho

[Speaker 1] It s beautiful here! Lots of snow though. I love rollercoasters but too cold for it.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I have been to six flags. Have you?

[Speaker 1] I've. Two of them. Great america and over texas. I've traveled a lot.

[Speaker 2] I just moved from texas. I want to visit iceland maybe one day. Maybe live there

[Speaker 1] I would love that. I'm obsessed with viking culture.

[Speaker 2] I think they are badass. Did you know cellphones were invented in norway?

[Speaker 1] Were they really? I did not know that. I love to learn.

[Speaker 2] Yeah me too. I take online courses but get distracted.

I am male. I have great penmanship.

I live in Wisconsin. My father left our home and I was raised by my mother.

I love rollercoasters and have been to two Six Flags amusement parks.

I am very interested in viking culture.

I enjoy learning new things.

I am not skilled at writing in cursive.

I have been to Six Flags amusement park.

I moved from Texas recently. I enjoy cold winters. I want to visit or possibly relocate to Iceland.

I take online classes, but am easily distracted.

[Speaker 1] The snow has really been coming down in Wisconsin. I have had to shovel the driveway every day this week.

[Speaker 2] I'm loving all the snow!  Sort of ironic that I moved away from Texas to find some real winter weather, and then the whole state freezes up!  Do you like the cold too?

[Speaker 1] Haha, I know what are the chances! I much prefer the sun, I don't mind the occasional snow fall but not a great fan of it all of the time! I suppose that's another great reason for you to move to Iceland as you love the cold. Have you thought any more into that?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I'm actively saving money up for a trip there this summer.  I want to visit the Blue Lagoon, see the geysers, and see some real Viking villages!

[Speaker 1] That sounds great. Your making me jealous, I absolutely love Viking culture. While your in Iceland you will be able to continue your online classes as well, another reason to do it! You'll have to remind me what classes are you studying again?

[Speaker 2] Right now I'm taking Statistics (snore, zzzzz), Calculus 2, and then my interesting and just for fun class is American History, 1945-present.  I seriously doubt I'll study in Iceland - talk about distractions!

[Speaker 1] Haha, just find a right balance and you will be good, you don't want to give up on them now after you've spent so long doing them. Maybe being in Iceland will give you a new prospective on life and you will find them much easier!

[Speaker 2] That could be!  They have an incredible genetics institute there that it's my dream to work for.  Their genetics are great to study, because there has been so little movement of populations in or out.  Did you know that most Icelanders are direct descendents of the slavik Vikings, and that their language is almost unchanged since that time, too?  There is also some Irish blood mixed in, because the Vikings picked up Irish slaves on their way North!

[Speaker 1] I had no idea! You do seem to be very well informed on the matter. If it's your dream job you should defiantly try for it! Do you know if they have a six flags in Iceland, because that would be an even better reason to go!

[Speaker 2] I was just wondering about that!  Maybe if the genetics doesn't work out, I can be a carney at Six Flags Reyjavik! ha ha...  Have you been to any new Six Flags parks lately?

[Speaker 1] Haha, that would be awesome! No not recently I have too busy looking after my mother she has been ill, so I've had to take some time off work to take care of her, thankfully she's getting better!

[Speaker 2] Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom - I know you guys are super close.  I'm glad that she's on the mend now.  It's so, so hard watching parents age.  They seem so indestructable when we're children.  Please give her my well wishes.

I am male. I have great penmanship.

I enjoy learning new things.

I like sunshine. I don't like a lot of snow.

I love Viking culture. I am interested in Iceland.

My mother is ill. I have had to take time off work.

I am not skilled at writing in cursive.

I moved from Texas recently. I enjoy snow and cold winters.

I am thinking about moving to Iceland. I am saving money to travel. I want to visit the Blue Lagoon and authentic Viking sites.

I am taking online classes in math and history, but am easily distracted. I find Statistics boring. I find American history interesting. I am interested in genetics, Icelandic history. I am interested in languages.

I am a compassionate person.

[Speaker 1] My mother is feeling much better.

[Speaker 2] I'm glad to hear it! Do you think she will be well enough for you to start working agaion anytime soon?

[Speaker 1] Yeah hopefully in the next week or so, I want to make sure she's 100% ok before I head back and leave her alone. It will be good to have a change of scene as well, it can be draining caring for someone for so long.

[Speaker 2] Of course, you don't want to leave if she will struggle on her own. Yes I imagine taking care of someone fulltime is a big challenge. Do you get any respite?

[Speaker 1] Not really, there's not really anyone else around to help out, I have no brother or sister to step in. Do you have any siblings?

[Speaker 2] I don't have any siblings either but I do have a big family - lots of cousins and aunts and uncles that would be there to help me out. Hopefully your mom fully recovers soon and you can get back to normal life.

[Speaker 1] Thank you, she's getting there now thankfully. Do you think you'd miss your family if you did move to Iceland?

[Speaker 2] I would but I think with all the technology we have , face time etc it wouldn't be so bad. I would easily be able to keep in touch!

[Speaker 1] That's true, video calling has come a long way! Have you been learning to speak Icelandic as one of your languages?

[Speaker 2] Not yet. I have been focussing on Norwegian. I am definitely going to move on to that next though. I'm sure it would come in handy!

[Speaker 1] Oh Norwegian, that sounds hard! I have a Norwegian Forest Cat but I doubt that she speaks much Norwegian!!

[Speaker 2] LOL they are gorgeous - what's her name?

[Speaker 1] There is a lot of professional help out there. Maybe you can talk to somebody!

[Speaker 2] I really need to. I hate leaving the house though
