[Speaker 1] Sorry to hear that. I always had bad allergies when I liven on my farm in kansas.

[Speaker 2] I live on a farm too, a pig farm.

[Speaker 1] Mine is a horse farm. I love horses and horseback riding. Do you like pigs?

[Speaker 2] No. I don't like animals at all. I would rather live in a city.

[Speaker 1] Sorry to hear that. Do you have kids?

[Speaker 2] No I do not. Do you?

[Speaker 1] Yep. Three daughters. My house is crazy.

[Speaker 2] Are you a vegetarian? I am because of living on the pig farm.

[Speaker 1] No but I do not blame you. Do you have any hobbies?

[Speaker 2] I like to do research on different cities. You?

[Speaker 1] I go scuba diving with my wife a lot.

[Speaker 2] That sounds fun and adventurous.

[Speaker 1] It really is. I live in detroit so we have to do it in the lake though.

[Speaker 2] You should go to a tropical island and do it in the ocean.

I had allergies. I lived in Kansas.

I have 3 daughters. I have a crazy house.

I am not a vegetarian.

I scuba dive with my wife.

I have allergies.

I live on a pig farm.

I like to research cities.

[Speaker 1] One of my horses had a died last night.

[Speaker 2] Oh no, that's awful. You must be heartbroken. How are to taking it?

[Speaker 1] It is so hard. You get so close to them.  I'm really going to miss him.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I know what you mean, when you spend so much time around animals, they become part of the family. Had you had him for long? How are your daughters?

[Speaker 1] That is so true. My daughters doing great! The three little drama queens.

[Speaker 2] Oh great. Have you got anything planned to do with the family, perhaps to take their mind off things?

[Speaker 1] You know I do. I'm gonna take them to the beach for the next few days they love that.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great. I think I'm going to plan my next trip away. I love to visit cities around the world.

[Speaker 1] Yeah it's a big world there is a lot to see!

[Speaker 2] Definitely, I love the cities. They are so full of culture and diversity. I really want to visit Europe.

[Speaker 1] that would be exiting. I love all the cultures and different foods.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I've just been looking into visiting Spain. I'd love to go to Barcelona. Have you travelled much?

I had allergies. I used to live in Kansas.

I live in Detroit now.  I live on a horse farm. I love horses and horseback riding. I had a horse but it died. I am having a hard time because I will miss my horse.

I am not a vegetarian.

I scuba dive with my wife.

I love different cultures and foods.

I have allergies.

I live on a pig farm.

I am a vegetarian.

I like to research cities.

I love to travel the world.

I want to go to Spain and Barcelona.

[Speaker 1] I planed a beach vacation with my daughters, we will go travel.

[Speaker 2] Nice, where are you going? Who will take care of your horses when you are gone? It is always nice to have a change of pace from everyday life.

[Speaker 1] We have hired help to look after my horses while I'm away.  I think a vaction was best because it will take my mind of one of my horse's death and my daughters will be able to have some fun and gain new experiences. I know you want to travel to Spain and Barcelona, I want to do so too, but why do you want to go there?

[Speaker 2] I'm glad you have help to look after the horses while you're gone. I know the loss of your favorite horse was hard. So sorry about that. I hope you all have fun. Will you fit in some scuba diving with your wife while you're there? I do want to go to Spain and Barcelona because there are so many sites there to see and I want to get a feel for the culture and food. I love going to different places.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I have already booked a time slot for me and my wife. She's helped me a lot during these tough times. Also, Malta is perfect with its crystal clear waters, so yeah looking forward to some fun and good times. By the way, how is life when you live on a pig farm?

[Speaker 2] I don't know why I ever bought a pig farm, I actually prefer living in the city. I find the sights and sounds very exciting and there is so much to do there. I think I will be selling the farm next year.

[Speaker 1] Oh, well that makes sense considering you love to travel a lot and research cities. I too was thinking of selling my farm and move into the city, but the thought of that alone made me feel like I was abandoning my horses :'( so I decided against it, for now. I think if and when I decide to sell the farm, I will take a world tour with my wife and explore all the places I can because I love to experience different cultures and try new foods.

[Speaker 2] It sounds like you have a good plan. Maybe when the girls are grown you and your wife can plan that big trip. It sounds very exciting and right up my alley. There is so much to explore and see and do in this world. Do you sell your horses, or do you board horses on your farm?

[Speaker 1] For the most part, I just board them because they are part of our family now, but if a very good offer comes in then sometimes I do sell them. I don't want to sound like thats all I raise horses for, but I also have to look after the future of my girls and something for me and the wifey. Have you always been a vegetarian or did you make a switch?

[Speaker 2] You definitely have to make a living, even though I know you all love horses. I'm sure you make sure they go to good homes. It seems funny a vegetarian on a pig farm, but I wasn't a vegetarian when I bought this place. I just found so many wonderful foods that are plant based that I see no need to kill animals for food. That's another reason I really want to sell the farm.

[Speaker 1] Ahh, I see, you see my wife was pushing me to make the switch to a pure vegetarian diet. So I was just asking if it is hard making the switch. Also, yeah I need to make income somehow, because the eldest of my 3 daughters is almost ready to go to university, so I don't want her nor her sister to accumulate any debt from student loans, so I will try to support them as much as I can, thats why I sometimes resort to selling my beauties. You mentioned you have allergies, I dealt with a few of them before. What allregies are you dealing with right now?

[Speaker 2] I have a tree nut allergy, which is tough being a vegetarian. I have learned to avoid all tree nuts and still have a large choice for a vegetarian diet. Is your wife a vegetarian, or is she leaning that way? It is not really hard to switch once you are committed. I feel for your facing all the college expenses. I don't that worry since I don't have any kids.

I used to live in Kansas. I live in Detroit now on a horse farm. I own the farm. I live outside the city. I love horses and horseback riding. I had a horse but it died. I am having a hard time because I will miss my horse. I sometimes sell my horses.

I am not a vegetarian.

I scuba dive with my wife.

I love different cultures and foods. I want to travel to Spain and Barcelona.

I've had allergies before.

I live on a pig farm.

I do not like kids. I prefer living in the city.

I am a vegetarian.

I like to research cities.

I love to travel the world. I want to go to Spain and Barcelona.

I have a tree nut allergy.

[Speaker 1] Have you received any offers on your pig farm?

[Speaker 2] Not yet but I can’t wait to sell it so I can move to the city!

[Speaker 1] You gotta come visit and doing some horseback riding when you move!

[Speaker 2] I’m going to take you up on your offer! You obviously love living on the farm. How many horses do you have?

[Speaker 1] I have 3 horses, one for each of my daughters haha.

[Speaker 2] Sweet! And the one that died?! Was that one yours.... I bet you miss that one terribly

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I miss him very much...I try not to dwell on it too much.

[Speaker 2] I understand... my apologies for bringing that up! On a lighter note, what is your favorite cuisine?

[Speaker 1] I love food from Spain, how about you?

[Speaker 2] I should have guessed haha! Me too... in addition to Thai, Middle Eastern, Indian, Japanese.... you name it lol

[Speaker 1] I can't believe you still live on a pig farm and are vegetarian.

[Speaker 2] Well I was always raised to be a proper lady so yes..

[Speaker 1] How about people you know and they annoyed you?

[Speaker 2] I have a large family soon 6 children so it takes alot to tick me

[Speaker 1] No, am referring to neighbors and work mates

[Speaker 2] I own a crocheting business on etsy so I don't deal with work mates

[Speaker 1] Then what of neighbors and people at church?

[Speaker 2] My husband and I are agnostic so I've not been to church ever

[Speaker 1] So you are attached to only your family and not community?

[Speaker 2] No I foster cats so I do give back just I live in the country

[Speaker 1] Do you have a best friend apart from your husband?

[Speaker 2] Yes I did but she passed away last year

[Speaker 1] So you don't have any other friends a part from her

[Speaker 2] Well none I had held as close or trusted like her

I am female.

I am pregnant with my 6th child.

I like to crochet. I own a business on Etsy. I work alone.

I am married. I am agnostic. I have never been to church.

I foster cats. I live in the country.

My best friend died last year.

I don't have a best friend currently.

[Speaker 1] How is your business going since we spoke last?

[Speaker 2] It's been going well! I've had quite a few orders to complete this week. It's hard with 5 kids and another on the way.

[Speaker 1] I bet it is hard I have 5 kids as well but only 3 live with me all the time so I can understand how hard it can be. What sort of things do you sell on Etsy?

[Speaker 2] I like to sell homemade wire wrapped necklaces. I've done all sorts of different kinds recently. My favorites are the ones with gems in them.

[Speaker 1] Yeah they sound cool I will have to have a look at your online store at some point maybe I will see something I like. I sell on eBay myself I have been doing so for quite a few years now.

[Speaker 2] Do you work with anyone else or is it just you? I've been working alone ever since my best friend died.

[Speaker 1] I work on my own my partner gives me a hand from time to time but he has a full time job himself. I'm really sorry to hear that. Was she very old?

[Speaker 2] No she was only 30. It happened last year but I still miss her tons. I haven't found a new best friend yet either.

[Speaker 1] That is so young what happened to her? I bet it will be hard to replace her in your life. I can imagine how much you miss her I don't know what I would do without my best friend about.

[Speaker 2] It was a car accident. I don't think I am ready to replace her yet. It will happen when it happens I suppose. My children keep me busy so that has helped.

[Speaker 1] I'm so sorry that's horrible, yeah it takes time to greave and move on. That's the great thing about having kids they keep you so busy.

[Speaker 2] I have another one on the way soon too. 6 kids is a lot to handle sometimes.

I have 5 kids. 3 of them live with me.
I sell on ebay.
I have a partner.

I am pregnant with my 6th child. I am married.

I like to crochet.  I make jewelry. I own a business on Etsy. I work alone.

I foster cats. I live in the country.

I don't have a best friend currently.

[Speaker 1] How is your jewelry coming along today?

[Speaker 2] I've had a busy week, made loads of necklaces. I need to order some more gemstones.

[Speaker 1] Glad to hear you've been productive, more to sell. How do you decide what kind of gemstones to use?

[Speaker 2] My supplier normally uploads new batches to their online catalogue, then I can purchase the ones I like, I tend to stick to a certain price range so I can make a profit. Although occasionally I get some more expensive stones for myself and friends.

[Speaker 1] Ah, makes sense. Do you get all of your supplies from the same person, or do you shop around?

[Speaker 2] Most of the time from the same person, I know they're reliable for shipping and quality. But sometimes I use my backups. I'll have to take a break when the baby arrives so just trying to do as much as I can beforehand.

[Speaker 1] That makes sense, babies are notorious time vacuums, haha. Are you still going to try and keep your Etsy going?

[Speaker 2] That's the hope, I'll probably try and have enough stock to release the jewellery in batches. How's your eBay been this week?

[Speaker 1] It's a little slow right now but that happens. I bet it'll pick back up in no time. How are your Etsy sales?

[Speaker 2] They're going fairly well, there was a peak around Valentine's, then it drops, but picking up again now.

[Speaker 1] Valentines makes sense for jewelry. Does that happen every holiday? I imagine Christmas is the best time.

[Speaker 2] Yea, every holiday normally boosts my sales, Mothers Day is another. Do you find the same?

I have 5 kids. 3 of them live with me.

I sell on ebay. My eBay business is a little slow now.

I have a partner.

I like to crochet.

I foster cats. I live in the country.

My best friend died last year in a car accident. I don't have a best friend currently.

I work alone. I work in making necklaces with gemstones. I normally purchase gemstones from supplier online. My stock is limited to release to jewellery. My Etsy sales are going fairly well especially in Valentines. My business sales boosts every holiday.

[Speaker 1] How about your stock now?

[Speaker 2] It's running a little low right now because I had a rush of orders for Mother's Day!

[Speaker 1] That is great. I bet it's crazy around the holidays trying to fulfill orders.

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah, it def gets crazy. But I'm thankful for it and luckily I was able to order some more stock so I should be up to quota soon

[Speaker 1] Do you ever sell any crochet items or just jewelry?

[Speaker 2] I have done a few crochet baby blankets that were special order. I advertise that I can do them, but I don't regulary keep them in stock.

[Speaker 1] That is cool. Do you do this full time or do you also do other jobs?

[Speaker 2] This is my fulltime job! I love it because I enjoy what I do but I also get to stay home with my kids.

[Speaker 1] It's wonderful that you are able to stay home with them. Do they ever act as helpers when you are putting the jewelry together?

[Speaker 2] A couple of my oldest do! They really like it. My younger ones just want to play in the beads, haha

[Speaker 1] I bet. They must think your work is super cool. I wish my kids could find some ways to help me with my work!

[Speaker 2] Maybe they could help you set up items for pictures?

[Speaker 2] Mom got me started on piano at 6 but now one of 9 guitars

[Speaker 1] I learned guitar at one point. I cannot remember a single chord now

[Speaker 2] What do you do for a living?

[Speaker 1] I'm a writer. I don't currently work for a publishing firm

[Speaker 2] So you are freelancing now?

[Speaker 1] I just try to live simply until someone likes something I write

[Speaker 2] Kinda same as me. Chill out, eat vegan and shred on guitar.

[Speaker 1] I couldn't do the whole vegan thing

[Speaker 2] Its tough but if I touched a burger again my girlfriend would kill me

[Speaker 1] A vegan that would kill somebody. I do not believe that

[Speaker 1] I have my garden and I live to visit my friends in the city. How about you?

[Speaker 2] That's awesome, I also like gardening. But I am into hunting too.

[Speaker 1] I've never been hunting. What do you like to hunt?

[Speaker 2] I actually hate to shoot things I just like the outdoors.

[Speaker 1] I love the outdoors! What do you do for a living?

[Speaker 1] Its just me and my mom, she does social work for schools.

[Speaker 1] Thats great, did you go to school for writing?

[Speaker 2] I did. I got my undergraduate in English. So, not exactly journalism, but definitely writing. What was you major?

[Speaker 1] I went to college for engineering and mathematics.  I wish i was a better writer

[Speaker 2] Don't sell yourself short. It's amazing that you majored in engineering while playing basketball. Were you on a full scholarship?

[Speaker 1] I was on a partial scholarship.  I tore my ACL my second year and it was taken away

[Speaker 2] Oh no! That's horrible. I tore my ACL too, but I just did it playing hoops at an LA Fitness! How's your knee now?

[Speaker 1] I've recovered, but its not the same, i can tell that it still affects my jumping and running.  what else do you do for fun

[Speaker 2] I've been really into hunting this year. My dad took me a lot when I was a kid.

[Speaker 1] nice! i've always wanted to go, but I don't like all the blood at the end. what are you hunting?

[Speaker 2] I bagged a Turkey this past fall. I went deer hunting too, but I didn't see any.

I enjoy gardening.

I enjoy basketball, gardening.

I work as a journalist.

I am unmarried.

I went to school for writing. I got a degree in English.

I tore my ACL. I play hoops at LA Fitness.

I like to hunt with my dad.

[Speaker 1] Hey you think we could set up a hunting trip anytime soon?

[Speaker 2] Yeah! We can definitely try to set one up. Are you going to be okay with the blood?

[Speaker 1] I guess that'll be something for me to get used to if I want to go hunting, huh? Maybe I shoot and then you can go find what it was I shot, lol

[Speaker 2] Haha! That's not how it works! Maybe it won't be so bad once you get out there. Will your ACL be okay carrying all the gear?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I can still carry OK, so long as I do it ergonomically and follow what my PT taught me. How about you? How longs it been since your ACL tear?

[Speaker 2] That is great to hear. I tore mine about 5 years ago. Some days it may hurt if I have been playing a lot of basketball, but usually it's fine.

[Speaker 1] So bring on the hunting then! What's in season at the moment?

[Speaker 2] It's still deer season! Have you ever eaten venison?

[Speaker 1] I love venison! Mostly I've just had venison burgers but I love the gamey taste. I'm yet to have a venison steak. Do we get to take the deer home and butcher it ourselves or do we take it somewhere to get butchered? I'm not sure I could butcher it, think of all the blooood!!!!!

[Speaker 2] Wonderful!!! We will drop it off at the processor and they will take care of everything! Once they are finished we will go pick it up. Venison steak is delicious! We will have to have dinner too!

[Speaker 1] Sounds awesome. The guys at work are gonna be stoked to hear what I've been up to. We sell a ton of fancy gourmet meats at the shop. This will be so much fresher, and I assume cheaper

[Speaker 2] SO MUCH! I was wondering if you had worked in the meat department at the store you work at?

I played basketball in college. I had a partial Scholarship. I majored in engineering and mathematics in college. I tore my ACL. My scholarship was revoked. I recovered from my injury. I can not run and jump the same. I have a physical therapist.

I am unmarried.

I like to hunt with my dad. I hunted a Turkey. I did not see any deer. I am an experienced hunter.

I had an ACL tear five years ago. I play hoops at LA Fitness. I play basketball.

[Speaker 1] Did you get in any basketball today?

[Speaker 2] Yes! Some friends of mine and I did this morning.

[Speaker 1] I miss playing a good game of basketball. Things just aren't the same anymore after my injury.

[Speaker 2] I can't imagine :( I am so sorry that happened to you. Maybe therapy will make your leg stronger

[Speaker 1] Apparently it will get better but it will never be to the point I can play competitively again. It really took my by surprise as I had my whole future planned out.

[Speaker 2] I know it wouldn't be the same, but maybe you could be a coach or assistant one day?

[Speaker 1] That is a really good idea. I never thought about that. I guess that is what top athletes end up doing in the later part of their careers anyway. Have you ever had an injuries from playing before?

[Speaker 2] Like I said, I know it's not the same, but at least you would still be around the sport and instilling a love for it. I have had a couple of sprained ankles, but thankfully nothing serious.

[Speaker 1] I am sure that most of these injuries are just bad luck. A fall slightly one way and it could have just been a sprain. What other hobbies do you have except basketball?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it certainly does. Especially with people like you and I who know what they're doing fairly well. Talking about injuries, I did have an acl tear but it was very minor. As for other hobbies, I enjoy hunting.

[Speaker 1] I have had a go at hunting but I was rather unsuccessful. It is something I want to get into more. Do you have any suggestions for improving my hunting?

[Speaker 2] Patience lots and lots of patience. Some days I get so frustrated because I see nothing at all.

[Speaker 1] Noah, that sounds like a great story! Please tell!

[Speaker 2] When I used to live in california, as a kid, I went hiking with friends.

[Speaker 1] Yes? Go on? Build up the story, line by line!

[Speaker 2] We were pretending we were on a quest, in the woods nearby our neighborhood.

[Speaker 1] After a dragon? An evil wizard? The little white rabbit? I will be quiet...

[Speaker 2] Ll! Actually, it was a dragon! When it got dark, we wanted torches...

[Speaker 1] Whispers to self I am so stealing this for my students....

[Speaker 2] Go ahead! So, we got some sticks and an old lighter we would found on the ground and... Well...

[Speaker 1] Oh no! This cannot end well!

[Speaker 2] No, it didn't. Huge trouble. I was never allowed back there, and for good reason.

[Speaker 1] Was it a national forest? That could be bad trouble

[Speaker 2] No, but it could have been worse than it was. We found help quickly.

I am old.

I am old.

[Speaker 1] Are you still in touch with you friends that you started the fire with?

[Speaker 2] Since the fire incidence, we've not been in contact.

[Speaker 1] That's a shame. It's always nice to keep in contact with old friends.

[Speaker 2] Indeed, but keeping in touch would bring back bad memories

[Speaker 1] I guess you're right. Some people you should cut out of your life. I'm old enough to have learned that a long time ago.

[Speaker 2] I couldn't agree more with you

[Speaker 1] I hope the friends you have now are better for you than the others were.

[Speaker 2] Fortunately, yes. At least we won't have any reason to start a fire

[Speaker 1] That's good to hear. You grow out of doing things like that as you get older.

[Speaker 2] Indeed. I hope my old friends eventually outgrew our reckless childish behaviors

[Speaker 1] For their sake I hope they do to. At least you were responsible enough to find help to put it out too.

[Speaker 2] Lucky me! It's been ages since I engaged in such reckless behavior

I am old.

I am old.

I have good friends.

I don't engage in reckless behavior.

[Speaker 1] So what good things are you up to today.

[Speaker 2] Not a whole lot. As always, lots of little things to do around the house. How about you? What are you up to?

[Speaker 1] I've been enjoying a puzzle, with some "help" from my cat. The picture is of sailboats on a sunny day. Do you like puzzles?

[Speaker 2] I haven't done one in forever, but it sounds relaxing. Much better than pairing socks! I would imagin its much easier with the cat helping. Is the cat a fan of sailboats?

[Speaker 1] Haha! Most activities are more enjoyable than pairing socks. If the cat would help me place the pieces instead of stealing them to play with, it might be easier. She seems to like the puzzle sailboats, but I suspect she would be pretty upset if I took her on a sailboat. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 2] I have a dog. The probability of him liking puzzles is low. Maybe sailboats though. Most of the time he is just happy to be around. Getting out in the warm weather at all?

[Speaker 1] I had a spaniel as a kid that loved going out on my father's fishing boat, that brings back some good memories. What kind of dog do you have? I got out yesterday afternoon for a stroll around the block, the sun sure feels nice, doesn't it?

[Speaker 2] The sun does feel good. I have a pitbull thats about six years old. We do just about everything together.

[Speaker 1] Sounds like a real sweetie. I miss having a dog, the way they follow you around, but my cat is good company and I don't quite have the energy to get a dog out for regular walks these days.

[Speaker 2] I hear you on having energy. It takes some effort for me to keep it up! I kind of miss having a cat. The women in my life always showed up with one.

[Speaker 1] You always did like the mysterious type, perhaps that's why they tended to be cat owners. Did you never own a cat personally then?

[Speaker 2] I have assumed ownership of a few. And I had one that adopted me! But I have never gone out and got myself a cat. Maybe only because they found me.

I am old.

I put puzzles together. I own a cat.

I had a dog as a kid. My family had a fishing boat.

I miss having a dog. I don't have energy to walk a dog every day.

I am old.

I once started a fire in the grass in California when I was a kid. We found help to put out the fire we started in the woods. I was not allowed to go back to the woods.

I have good friends.

I don't engage in reckless behavior.

I live in a house.

I have not done a puzzle in a long time.

I have a six year old pitbull. I miss having a cat. I always had girlfriends with cats. I have owned a few cats.

[Speaker 1] Does your dog ever make a mess in the house?

[Speaker 2] He used to, but not so much anymore. As he's gotten older, he's become much more relaxed. He has his moments, though!

[Speaker 1] That is great that he is improving. Would you recommend me getting another dog?

[Speaker 2] I would! It definitely makes me feel safer when I'm home alone.

[Speaker 1] That is good, I think the pros outweigh the cons when it comes to pet dogs. Is a pitbull a good dog?

[Speaker 2] If you take the time to train them, yes. They are just like any other dog. They just have a bad reputation. My dog is the sweetest guy ever, though. It's important to exercise them regularly.

[Speaker 1] I have changed my diet along with some new medication and I am starting to get more energy so I will definitely look into getting one. Plus I have grand-children that can help me.

[Speaker 2] I think it'll be good for you! Maybe look for breeds that are known to get along with cats as well

[Speaker 1] That is a good idea. Do you have any specific breeds that are known to get along with cats?

[Speaker 1] Hi, how are you doing?

[Speaker 2] I am good. How are you?

[Speaker 1] I'm good too. So what do you like to do in your spare time?

[Speaker 2] I like swimming. I can actually jump straight up out of the water

[Speaker 1] Wow! Are you on a swim team?

[Speaker 2] No, but I am tall. Both my parents are over 6 feet.

[Speaker 1] Lucky! If I were that tall I'd have tried out for basketball.

[Speaker 2] Haha. Who do you like to do?

[Speaker 1] I watch alot of basket ball and sing barbershop rap.

[Speaker 2] Fun! I really like fish. It is really all I eat

[Speaker 1] Have you ever gone fishing?

[Speaker 2] When I was younger I did

[Speaker 1] Any reason you don't do it anymore?

[Speaker 2] Not really, just went with my dad then.

I am shorter than 6 feet.

I like to watch basketball. I sing barbershop rap.

I like to swim.

I am not on a swim team. I am tall. My parents are over 6 feet tall.

I only eat fish.

I fished with my dad when I was younger.

[Speaker 1] I watched a great basketball game today!

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah, who was playing?

[Speaker 1] Just a collegiate game. I thought it was interesting that Ohio State turned the game around 5 minutes before the game ended. It was a fun game. How have you been doing?

[Speaker 2] Awesome, sounds like a great game. Yeah I've not been too bad. I when for a swim today. First time in a while so was good to get back in the water.

[Speaker 1] Cool. I know how good you are at swimming. I always think you should've joined a competitive swim team. I still think it's not too late?

[Speaker 2] No, I was never as devoted as I should have been. I like to swim but I like to keep it fun. Do you like to swim?

[Speaker 1] well I would drown if I were to get into a pool. I am not really into swimming ha. But I like relaxing on the beach basking in the sun light :)

[Speaker 2] Yeah I just love being around water, swimming or fishing, that's my kind of day. Do you like playing basketball or just watching?

[Speaker 1] I am not that tall so I am not that good at playing basketball. So I would rather watch others playing haha. Have you been fishing lately?

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah, I go fishing every week. It's my way to chill out and destress from the week.

[Speaker 1] Yeah and you make good fish dish too don't you? I remember you caught some tilapia and made grilled taco.

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah, nothing better than cooking what you've caught. You can make the most tasty food with fish. I guess you like to eat fish too?

I am shorter than 6 feet.

I sing barbershop rap.

I like to swim. I like to swim for fun not competitively.

I only eat fish.

I go fishing every week to destress.

I like cooking what I catch.

[Speaker 1] I just finished watching a basketball game.

[Speaker 2] Who was playing and who won ! I had the choice of basketball and swimming at school I chose swimming.

[Speaker 1] Miami Heat beat the Atlanta Hawks. It was a close one. That's no choice for me. I would never go swimming. I am terrified of drowning. How did you learn to swim?

[Speaker 2] It still amazes me you don't like swimming! The amount of time you spend down on that beach, does it not entice you to try it? I think it was just a combination of my huge feet and the fact we always used to fish so my dad thought it was super important for me to know. One day I will get you swimming like a dolphin haha.

[Speaker 1] I had a cousin that died in a boating accident and it haunts me to this very day. He fell off the boat and couldn't swim. When I think of how scared he had to feel, and what it must feel like to have lungs full of water, it keeps me on the shore. I do like that your dad made you comfortable in the water. I don't think I'll ever fully swim but I would maybe like to wade in.

[Speaker 2] See, that is the reason why he felt any one going on a boat should now how to swim! maybe you could start looking at it as learning in his memory and it might make it easier! But hey, with your height and basketball skill, you should get into that as thats where your talent lies.

[Speaker 1] That makes sense. My cousin also refused to wear a life jacket, so he did two dumb things that day. I do want to enjoy the ocean but I am legitimately terrified. I do love basketball but I don't like all that running. I usually prefer the sidelines.

[Speaker 2] Well as sad as the story is, there is lessons to be learned from it ! Haha, they tried to force me to play when I was younger due to my height but yeah... to much running for me ! I prefer the water all day. Any beach days planned anytime soon? I would love to come.

[Speaker 1] Yes! Do you know where the pier is on George Washington Avenue? Let's meet up there on Saturday if you're free. What time is best for you?

[Speaker 2] That sounds amazing! I would prefer early morning as I will have a a couple of rods with me to do do some fishing if you fancy trying it out? If we catch something we can eat we can cook it on the beach.

[Speaker 1] YESSSSS fresh fish is amazing. I love a good fish fry. I'll try to build myself up to touch the water. We'll see how it goes.

[Speaker 2] Well I think if you combine it with fishing you wont even notice as if we get a big bull or something you may have to walk into the water a little, only up to the lower knee though. Adrenaline with having a shark on the end should cancel out the fear haha.

I am shorter than 6 feet.

I sing barbershop rap.

I can't swim and don't like going swimming. I like sun bathing on the beach. I am afraid of drowning.

I'm not tall. I like watching basketball but not playing. I do not like running. I like staying on the sidelines.

My cousin died in a boating accident because he couldn't swim and fell off a boat. I am haunted by the accident. I am too afraid to swim because of it. I don't think I will ever fully swim but am open to wade in. My cousin didn't want to wear a life jacket. I enjoy the ocean but am also afraid of it.

I am going to the pier on George Washington Avenue this Saturday. I love fresh fish, especially fish fry. I will try to touch the water on Saturday.

I like to swim for fun not competitively. I am not on a swim team. I am tall. I  have huge feet. My parents are over 6 feet tall.

I only eat fish. I fished with my dad when I was younger a lot. I go fishing every week to destress. I like cooking what I catch.

I did not play basketball at school. I did swimming at school.

My dad thinks anyone going on a boat should know how to swim.

I do not like running which is why I chose swimming over basketball.

I would like to meet up for a beach day in the early morning. I will bring fishing rods to fish together. I will eat what we catch.

[Speaker 1] What was the most interesting thing you've caught while fishing with your dad?

[Speaker 2] I have never caught anything that interesting, mostly just common fish like trout and sunfish.  I do like looking at tidal pools at the beach.  You can see a lot of cool creatures.

[Speaker 1] I would guess that's true. I do like spending time on the beach and seeing if anything interesting pops up. What is your favorite fish to cook?

[Speaker 2] Any fish like bluefish or trout.  You stuff it with lots of lemons and herbs and salt.  It tastes so good on the grill! Do you have have fish you love to eat at a fish fry?

[Speaker 1] I like most fish as well. I do like fried cat fish but also love trout. Cooking it with lemons and herbs sounds delicious. I'll have to try that.

[Speaker 2] If we catch any when we go fishing we can definitely try!  Have you ever gone crabbing?  Then you don't have to go that deep into the water so it won't matter if you can't swim.

[Speaker 1] I've never tried it. I might be open to though if I don't have to get into the water too deep. After my cousin's accident I just have a real fear of drowning.

[Speaker 2] I get that, it can be hard to get over a fear like that.  Have you ever tried taking lessons at an indoor pool?  Then you might feel safer because they would be teaching you and making sure you are safe.

[Speaker 1] I've never thought of that but it might be something to think about. Honestly I don't miss swimming in the ocean as long as I can be near it and still enjoy the beach and the pier and the atmosphere.

[Speaker 2] I'm glad you can still enjoy the ocean.  I like swimming, but also like walking around on the pier and beach.  We can walk around for a while and explore if you want when we meet up.  Also, it might be a good idea if you wear a life vest just in case?

[Speaker 1] Good idea. Sounds fun. I'm looking forward to getting outside this weekend.

[Speaker 2] Me too, have you heard anything about the weather?  I hope it's nice out.


I cannot hold down a job for very long.

If I'm not drinking, I'm thinking, which makes me uncomfortable.

I'm constantly drinking.

I blame myself for all of my problems.

My family loves me, but keeps their distance.

My wife is a nurse.
My favorite place is the mountains.
I like to play baseball.
I have 2 kids.

I'm unable to keep employment for any considerable length of time.

I like to party and not study.

I seem to never stop getting drunk.

I have a hard time forgiving myself.

I am a loner.

My spouse works in a hospital taking care of others.

I hate the beach.

I'm a cubs fan.

I am a proud mother.

[Speaker 1] I need another drink, pronto.

[Speaker 2] Haha, my wife made me stop drinking. She's a nurse.

[Speaker 1] Ever since they kicked me out of the white house, I cannot stop drinking.

[Speaker 2] You got kicked out of the white house?

[Speaker 1] Sshhh! My initials are s. B. I cannot keep a job for very long.

[Speaker 2] Haha, I may know who you are. My 2 kids are the same way.

[Speaker 1] Its all my fault. I caused all those problems for djt.

[Speaker 2] Well if you need a hideout. I've a place in the mountains. Its great.

[Speaker 1] I think too much. And then I get tired of thinking and start drinking.

[Speaker 2] You should try baseball. It always gets my mind off things.

[Speaker 1] I may take you upon that offer. My family wo not take me in.

[Speaker 2] Well if you want to play against someone let me know.

I drink alcohol.
I don't have a home currently.
My intials are S.B.
I drink regularly.
I am separated from my family.

I don't drink alcohol.
My wife is a nurse.
I have 2 kids.
I own a home in the mountains.
I play baseball.

[Speaker 1] I haven't had alcohol in three days.

[Speaker 2] That's great news! How do you feel?

[Speaker 1] To be honest, it doesn't feel that great. I am experiencing some withdrawal symptoms and anxiety.

[Speaker 2] I don't know a lot about this sort of thing but I think that might be normal when you're so used to drinking often. I hope you can keep this up, it could be really good for you in the long run.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I am trying my best to be committed to sobering up. I just hope to find the strength to keep going.

[Speaker 2] I think you can do this. From the stories my wife has told me from the hospital she works at, people are capable of recovering from all sorts of things even when they don't think they can.

[Speaker 1] That is great to hear! May God bless your wife for the numerous service she does to humanity. If you don't mind, can you please consult with your wife and suggest some coping mechanisms?

[Speaker 2] Of course, I will talk to her tonight at dinner when she's done with her shift. Do you have any friends you can spend time with in the next few days? It might help to take your mind off things.

[Speaker 1] Thanks! Yes, a few of my close friends and I are going to the cinema. Probably it will help me relax a bit and keep me engaged

[Speaker 2] That's really exciting! Have you picked which movie you'll watch?

[Speaker 1] Not yet. We are trying to experiment this time, so our plan is to go to the theater and see what's running to avoid decision fatigue. It wasn't my idea though!

[Speaker 2] Oh that's interesting! I have to admit I wouldn't be able to help myself and would end up trying to find out beforehand what's playing. I can be pretty indecisive on the spot.

I don't have a home currently. I am separated from my family.

My intials are S.B.

I am an alcoholic.

My wife is a nurse.

I have 2 kids.

I own a home in the mountains.

I play baseball.

I dont know alot about alcoholism. I don't drink alcohol.

I am indecisive.

[Speaker 1] I am still struggling to stay sober so I was thinking of taking your baseball suggestion.

[Speaker 2] That's a great idea! You can either play or watch whatever you're comfortable with. I'm glad you're taking these first steps.

[Speaker 1] Well, it will be a start at least. The main thing will be to have supportive friends around!

[Speaker 2] Let me know if you need anything else, I'd be happy to help you along. Do you at least have a place to stay now?

[Speaker 1] I managed to find temporary shelter with a local church group. The hostel is a bit cramped, but they don't make you pray unless you want to. It's a bit like 12-step, although we haven't done the group thing yet!

[Speaker 2] That's great. I'm sorry you got kicked out, but it sounds like you are making all the right moves. I'm proud of you SB.

[Speaker 1] Hey, thanks. You've been really great about this! I probably need to find someone who's gone through all this themself too, though - kind of like an AA sponsor. I'll ask the pastor if they do that kind of thing.

[Speaker 2] That's a good idea. Although I don't drink, I haven't been in the same boat as you so you probably need someone who's been down that same road.

[Speaker 1] That's kind of what I was thinking, too. Still, at least I have you and my other friends for now - and that movie to go see. So things could be a lot worse!

[Speaker 2] You're right they could. My wife has certainly seen some stuff from people who are drunk that end up coming into the the ER.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I've certainly been warned where I could end up. But I'm really starting to think I can turn this around, with the right help of course.

[Speaker 2] I'm confident that you can do it.  I'll take you to that baseball game this weekend and if you have a sponsor by then, maybe they can come along too.

My intials are S.B.

I am an alcoholic. I want to do something about it, like pick up baseball.

I live in temporary shelter from a local church group.

My wife is a nurse.

I have 2 kids.

I own a home in the mountains.

I play baseball.

I am indecisive.

[Speaker 1] I finally found a sponsor to help me through this difficult time.

[Speaker 2] That is so good.  Have you met with the sponsor yet?  I'm not really sure how it works with sponsors?

[Speaker 1] I have met with him and he is a really cool dude.  He basically just supports and motivates me to attend meetings and work on my sobriety.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome!  Has the church that you're staying at been able to help you too?

[Speaker 1] Yes, they have been very supportive.  I don't know what I would do without them because I have nowhere else to go.

[Speaker 2] Have you had any contact with your family lately?  I know it can be tough.

[Speaker 1] No, I don't think any of us are ready to starting talking yet.  Have you ever been separated from your family?

[Speaker 2] I have never been separated from my kids for longer than 2 weeks when they were at camp.  I can't imagine what you're going through.  But you definitely need to take time to get yourself straight and strong again.

[Speaker 1] Yes, that is good advice and exactly what I'm trying to do.  I actually started playing baseball to give me something to focus on.

[Speaker 2] I was just going to mention that...there are a bunch of us going out to the park after work tomorrow.  We could use one more person.  Would you like to join us?  I've got an extra glove you can use.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely!  I really appreciate you asking.  Being active and around other people is a great help to me.

[Speaker 2] Catch me after work tomorrow and I'll give you a ride down to the park.  Then, if you'd like, you can come have dinner at my house.  My wife makes a mean lasagne.


I have a job with a corporation.
I like to gamble.
I've a race mobile.
I'm a musical person.
I love to grub.

I don't want to admit to my inner emo.
My friends always say I am shy.
I'm on the spectrum.
I am not very active.

[Speaker 1] Hey how are you doing?

[Speaker 2] Fine. I'm on the spectrum autism

[Speaker 1] Oh that is interesting... How is that like?

[Speaker 2] Well, people don't know how to react, so I tell them whats up

[Speaker 2] Would you get boarded. When all your friends get promoted asn such

[Speaker 1] Mmm I'd probably just enjoy speeding around in my car

[Speaker 1] Yes, I'm on the west coast. Our problem out here is wildfires.

[Speaker 2] I've been watching that. Its heart wrenching to see all the devastation.

[Speaker 1] I know! I'm heartsick. The columbia gorge will never be restored in my lifetime.

[Speaker 2] I've never been there. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 1] No, I am allergic. Oddly enough, my twin brother is not.

[Speaker 2] Too bad, I bet there are a lot of displaced pets from the fires.

[Speaker 1] Some of them have been flown out here. We have animals displaced by wildfire out here, too.

[Speaker 2] Flooding in the south, fires in the west. Lets hope yellowstone does not erupt

[Speaker 1] If only we could fold the usa in half, so the fires and floods meet

[Speaker 2] That would be awesome! I hope it all ends soon.

[Speaker 1] I shot a workplace safety video today for a construction firm. Funny coincidence.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow that was fun ! They dont usually like that at construction sites as they all have to behave and be safe haha! How are the french fry designs going.

[Speaker 1] The fry designs are fun. I certainly enjoy making them. I pressed the Arizona Cardinals logo into them one day. The customers went nuts! How are you feeling?

[Speaker 2] I bet they did ! I hope you charged a little more for them. Well still very sore and unable to do proper work ! and with my passion for eating pizza puffs, its not going well haha! Did you ever manage to query me working some part time shifts at Del Taco? Nothing to strenuous but I can stand at the till for hours.

[Speaker 1] We actually didn't charge any extra, and I don't get paid extra to make the fries, but I still do it just for fun. It's my passion. Yes. I asked my manager but he said we wouldn't be hiring anyone for about 6 weeks. Can you wait that long?

[Speaker 2] Ahh thats a shame, that sounds like it would have made a killing! They better appreciate your skills! Hey, I am not going anywhere fast after this injury so I can wait 6 weeks. Thank god I have kids haha they have been so good helping out. Have you thought about kids yet.

[Speaker 1] I'm glad your kids have been helpful. I want kids but I don't want to go it alone. I haven't quite found the right girl yet, and that's important. I do like the idea of kids in my future though. Have you completed an application online yet? I'll tell my boss to lookout for it.

[Speaker 2] So am I otherwise id be struggling hard! That makes sense regarding kids, no point rushing into it with a hot head and regretting it when it goes wrong. I have it filled out I just have to hit apply. Is it worth me doing it now or in 6 weeks?

[Speaker 1] Go ahead and do it now. I'll put in a good word for you and tell him to look for the application. He can go ahead and do his paperwork so that you can be hired quickly once the hiring freeze has ended.

[Speaker 2] Perfect I will do it now thank you. How is he as a boss? Am I going to get along with him haha.

[Speaker 1] He's so laid back. As long as you show up and even make a minimal effort to work, you'll get along fine. He's the best boss I've ever had. He's kind of a slacker but he lets us slack off to. He also genuinely cares for his employees. That's why we love him so much.

[Speaker 2] Ahh that sounds like a perfect boss to me. Does not micromanage and does not mind as long as the work is done! God its so hard on a construction site... If you do something wrong you get teased by the whole team for days after and the boss has big favourites usually.

I ride a bike. I like listening to U2.

I like to watch TV.

I am single.  I do not have children.

I have imaginary friends.

My favorite show is Tom and Jerry.

I have a job in construction. I cannot work at my job due to an injury. I am looking for a job. I'm interested in working at Del Taco. I am applying to Del Taco.

I am married. I have children.

[Speaker 1] I sent the email to your boss applying for a job.  Has anything been said to you at work?

[Speaker 2] No i have not been to been to work because of an injury.

[Speaker 1] How much longer until you are fully recovered? Is rehabilitation helping?

[Speaker 2] They say it will be a couple more months before i am fully mobile again. Yes the rehabilitation is helping but it is very painful.

[Speaker 1] I am sorry to hear that! Hopefully you can work from home until then.  A lot of companies are very flexible with that these days.  I work from home part time and just fly to the office for important meetings.  Did you look if Del Taco has any online openings?

[Speaker 2] Yes they have some online positions available. Do you have any tips for filling out the application and can i use you as a reference?

[Speaker 1] Of course! Just go through the process online and I will also try talking to my boss and recommend you. How are your kids doing?

[Speaker 2] They are doing great, they cant wait for school to be over so we can go vacation.

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah, the end of school year is so close.  I am glad you are able to travel.  I have been to Maui last year.  Probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. I love traveling.

[Speaker 2] Do you get to travel a lot for work?

[Speaker 1] Probably 35-40%.  Just enough to collect points for flights and hotels.  It is so much to travel once you have the status.  I can't wait to have kids and travel with them.  Where are you going on vacation?

[Speaker 2] We are going to Colorado, i have always thought it was beautiful there. Traveling with kids is a lot of work but also fun to see their faces light up.

[Speaker 2] Oh what happened? I do not know what I would do if my puppies got sick.

[Speaker 1] He just caught a bug at school, but he's feeling much better.

[Speaker 2] Have you considered, maybe he's possessed?

[Speaker 1] What?!? No!

[Speaker 2] Yes! I have seen many ghosts in my lifetime.

[Speaker 1] I believe in shots but that doesn't mean my son is a demon.

[Speaker 2] My wife likes documentaries. What is this one about?

[Speaker 1] The worlds columbian exposition in chicago. Intriguing stuff.

[Speaker 2] Sounds interesting. Makes me think of travel and learning about new cultures. I enjoy both.

I spend my free time volunteering at nursing homes.

My dad was a cop.

I'm tall.

My favorite color is red.

I like to paint outdoors.
I like to make bagels.
I'm a cartographer.
I like to arm wrestle.
I used to be a nurse.

In my down hours I give my minutes to old folks in collectives.

My father was a police officer.

Friends always ask me to reach things in high places.

I like bright colors.

I love to use oils to create vivid landscapes.

I like to bake.

I love to design.

I enjoy horsing around with the guys.

In my past life, I was an rn.

[Speaker 1] That is a nice red sweater you are wearing

[Speaker 2] It could be because I make bagels

[Speaker 1] Are they tasty like donuts. My dad always had donuts in squad car

[Speaker 2] They have the inspirational taste of my like to paint outside and cartography

[Speaker 1] Do you paint houses? Being tall helps me be good at it

[Speaker 2] Actually a cartographer, arm wrestle and paint anything outside. Being tall nice!

[Speaker 1] I feel like I'm wrestling at the nursing home sometimes

[Speaker 2] Are you a current nurse? I use to be a nurse

[Speaker 1] Just volunteer. I enjoy the company

[Speaker 2] How wonderfully sweet, helping heal people can be rewarding

[Speaker 1] Yes it is, kinda runs in the family. My dad was officer of the year

[Speaker 2] That is great we always need good people in the force, how may years?

[Speaker 1] 15 how long did you nurse?

[Speaker 2] 17 years, made food goods, entertained the community I took care of

[Speaker 1] That is a long time. I hope to go into the health fields after college

[Speaker 2] It can be rewarding take in all the knowledge you can and be smart

I am tall.

I volunteer at a nursing home.

I am in college. I intend to enter the health field.

I make bagels.
I like to paint. I like cartography.
I like to arm wrestle.
I used to be a nurse.
I spent 17 years in nursing.

[Speaker 1] I was just offered a part-time position at the nursing home!

[Speaker 2] Oh that's great news, congratulations! That will really help with some extra money for college, and help you get lots of experience

[Speaker 1] Thank you so much! Yes, I really need some money for all of the expenses. It's been really tough lately.

[Speaker 2] I can imagine! It will be worth it, healthcare is such an important field to work in. Have you thought any more about what you'd like to do in healthcare? Does being a nurse appeal?

[Speaker 1] Yes, it is. I think I will study to become a nurse. It seems like a worthwhile pursuit and I should be able to get my certifications without too much trouble.

[Speaker 2] Oh yes, being a nurse is amazing most of the time, some days are more difficult than others but I guess you get that with all jobs! Keep working hard, you'll get there in no time!

[Speaker 1] I hope so! I think the stressful days would wind up being exciting. As long as it's a patient interaction thing I think I'd be able to do it!

[Speaker 2] Nurses get to spend much more time with the patients than the doctors, you'll make a fantastic nurse! Does the nursing home job fit around your college hours ok?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, they say the hours are very flexible plus the nursing home is right by my college so it shouldn't be a problem at all. I've always loved people so I think I should get along great!

[Speaker 2] Oh that's great, a lot of people struggle to find a part-time job that fits around college, you're so lucky! Yeah, you'll do fantastic, caring for people is the most important part of nursing. You need to make sure you have hobbies to help you relax in your downtime though, what do you like to do in your spare time?

[Speaker 1] I enjoy exploring nature a lot. I'm really into mountain biking and hiking through the nearby hills. I'll pretty much do anything if it keeps me outdoors.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's nice, that will keep you nice & fit too, nursing can be quite physically demanding at times.

I am tall.

I volunteer at a nursing home.

I am in college. I need money to pay for my expenses. I would like to become a nurse. My college is near the nursing home where I will work.

My working hours will be flexible.

I like being outdoors. I hike and mountain bike.

I make bagels.

I like to paint. I like cartography.

I like to arm wrestle.

I spent 17 years in nursing.

I think that caring for people is the most important part of being a nurse.

I find my work physically demanding.

[Speaker 1] I accepted the job! I'm excited to start and it's a big relief to have that taken care of ahead of time.

[Speaker 2] WOW congrats! I am so happy for you. I can imagine that's quite a weight lifted. When do you start?

[Speaker 1] Thank you! It really is a big relief especially money wise. I start next week. I'm excited but also a little nervous.

[Speaker 2] I can understand being nervous, but I promise that once you get in the flow of things you'll feel a lot better. Just make sure to find a good balance between working and school.

[Speaker 1] I hope to get the balance right for sure. Any tips for me? I'm sure you have lots of valuable knowledge being a nurse for as long as you have!

[Speaker 2] Sure! It's a little hard to remember all the way back to when I first started, I remember being nervous too. One tip is that while you're there to care for the patients, don't forget to also care for your co-workers. It can be a stressful job and it's good to see it as a team effort and help each other out.

[Speaker 1] Yeah teamwork is key! How do you manage the stress? Do you find you are able to relax in your free time or does work always find a way to be on your mind/

[Speaker 2] Yea it's SUPER important to be able to, at least try, leave work at work. It can be a really emotional job, you'll have people pass away and people going through painful ordeals, but remember you can't help them if you're not at your best, and so you have to take care of yourself.

[Speaker 1] I'll keep that in mind thanks! College can be stressful too so I think that approach would be useful for both work and school. You have such an interesting mix of hobbies. Do you have much time for them?

[Speaker 2] I do my best to make time for them, because it's important to enjoy life, even if our hobbies are just for us. Also be sure to ask your professors for tips on balancing the new job, the stress, etc. That way you have advice from a number of people.

[Speaker 1] I will! You have given me some great advice thanks! I'd love to see some of your paintings!

[Speaker 2] That's sweet of you! Maybe once you find your footing with the new job we can get together and I can show you some, and you can tell me how everything has been at the nursing home.

I am tall.

I volunteer at a nursing home. I am in college. I need money to pay for my expenses. I would like to become a nurse. My college is near the nursing home where I will work next week. I was offered a job at the nursing home. My working hours will be flexible. I work and go to school at the same time.

I make bagels.

I like to paint. I like cartography.

I like to arm wrestle.

I spent 17 years in nursing. I find my work physically demanding. I work at a hospital.

[Speaker 1] My work at nursing home started great, i made a few new friends at work already.

[Speaker 2] That's great!  Who are these new friends or yours?

[Speaker 1] They are working together with me. We hit it off very fast, I am glad I met them.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that's so great.  It's always so much more rewarding and enjoyable to go to work if you like the people you work with.

[Speaker 1] Very true. How is work going for you?

[Speaker 2] It's going fine.  Had a few rough days recently but those come with some regularity and you just have to push through them and hope things go more smoothly the next day.

[Speaker 1] Oh I'm sorry to hear about the rough days. I volunteer at a nursing home and I totally get what you mean.

[Speaker 2] How are your interactions with the residents?  I've worked with the elderly and they really run the gamut.  Some are very warm and rewarding to work with and others are very difficult, although I don't blame them for that.

[Speaker 1] Me neither. It just depends on the person. I sometimes have difficulty trying to handle the residents but I try my best.

[Speaker 2] How are you finding it to fit the work into your schedule and balance it with college?  You had said the hours were flexible.  Are you finding time to do everything and still have some time for yourself?

[Speaker 1] The one I was working wasn't as flexible, but I will be starting at another place close to my college next week so I should be good.

[Speaker 2] That's good.  I know you've got a lot on your plate so I'll be thinking about you and hoping it goes well.  Hey, what do you think about me making you some bagels?  And if you don't like them you can give them to people at the nursing home.

My name is Nina. I have green eyes.

I play sci fi space games.

I don't work out alot.

I am in law school.

I don't like to read.

I lived in Los Angeles in my youth but not now.

[Speaker 1] Las vegas sounds fun, do you gamble a lot?

[Speaker 2] I don't actually. I do like visiting the casinos once in a while, but no, I don't gamble a lot. I guess you do?

[Speaker 1] Sometimes, when I have friends or family visiting. What's the point of living in Vegas otherwise!

[Speaker 2] Haha. You do have a point. I do wish to visit sometime. I just have to get through school.

[Speaker 1] Nice. Don't you have to read a lot, if you are in law school? Or do you not like reading stuff other than law books?

[Speaker 2] Sigh! Sadly, I do have to read a lot for school, but I totally hate it. If only, I could do without the reading! But you have got to do what you have to do! Isn't it?

[Speaker 1] Exactly, that's how life is! i'd love to open my own hiking troupe but right now I have to be content working as a personal trainer and work harder to achieve my dream

[Speaker 2] I understand. Life is not easy, my friend! I wish you all the best with your dreams! Some day, we will look back and laugh at what we had to do to be there!

[Speaker 1] Ya, I hope so too. I wish you the same. So what other plans for the weekend?

[Speaker 2] Thanks! I just have to finish this paper for school and then, my all-time favourite pass time - me and my sci-fi space games! I want to get lost in gaming once I am done! Do you have any plans?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I plan to get up early and hike to Norman Point. The weather is clear and promises some beautiful views. I can't wait!

[Speaker 2] That sounds like so much fun! Have a great time! I'll catch up with you again soon.

My name is dave.

I think green eyes are beautiful.

I am a personal trainer. I want to open a hiking troupe.

I live in Las Vegas.

I like to gamble occasionally.

My name is Nina. I have green eyes.

I don't work out alot.

I don't like to read.

I live in Las Vegas. I do not gamble often.

I go to law school in Las Vegas.

I am in law school. I do not enjoy school.

[Speaker 1] I just saw an ad for that new game that is coming out tomorrow, it looks intense!

[Speaker 2] What kind of game is it?  You should send me the info, I've been looking to get into a new game.

[Speaker 1] It is a cooking game. I forgot the name but you are able to play task and beat levels. It is not your usual Sci-Fi space games though.

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds interesting though.  I might still want to look into it.  It might be nice to try something different than my regular games.

[Speaker 1] It is always good to take a break and try something new. I cut back from games and went back to hiking. I make a game out of that.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a lot more work than video games!  I'd like to get outside more, but between all the work with school and playing games I just don't have the time.

[Speaker 1] That is what all my clients say. But they like to blame the Las Vegas heat for that. Maybe next time you come and visit I will take you on a hike with me. How does that sound?

[Speaker 2] That sounds great!  I'm sure I

[Speaker 1] Good. How is law school going for you? How many years do you have left?

[Speaker 2] It is not going so well, it has been so much work lately.  I have a year and a half left, but I'm looking forward to it being done.  Have you been to any rock and roll concerts lately?

[Speaker 1] I have one planned for the end of the year and was hoping you could come with me. Maybe we can use it as a break from school and have you get some weight off your shoulders.

[Speaker 2] I would love that.  When is it?  I'll check my calendar and make sure I'm free and we can get tickets right away.

My name is dave.

I live in Las Vegas. I like to gamble occasionally. I've cut back from games.

I like tuna fish salad.

My name is Nina. I have green eyes.

I play sci fi space games. My favorite activity is gaming. I've been looking for a new game to play.

I don't work out alot.

I don't like to read.

I do not gamble often. I go to law school in Las Vegas. I do not enjoy school. I have a year and half left in law school.

I'd like to get outside more.

[Speaker 1] Have you looked into games you can play outside, like Pokemon Go?

[Speaker 2] I don't have much time to wander around collecting Pokemons. Maybe when I have kids, we could do it together.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that would be a good idea to get your kids involved. But by then you'll be raising kids and working in a law office.  There never seems to be enough time!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, never enough time. I loved games when I was younger. I still love them, but law school just sucks up all my time. I wish law school had a game for learning the law.

[Speaker 1] There was an old game based on Perry Mason.  You should try to find it. But, yes time is why I had to cut back from playing games as well.

[Speaker 2] Living in Vegas gives you a chance to play games. What kind of gambling do you recommend? Can you beat the system?

[Speaker 1] I mostly stick to blackjack and occasionally poker.  There's no real way to beat the system.  But games of skill at least give you a fighting chance to walk out with some money in your pocket.

[Speaker 2] Poker looks like the game for intelligent gamblers. I've seen some movies about poker players that make me think I could never win against the pros.

[Speaker 1] It takes patience and a lot of experience to play with the big boys, that's for sure.  But, I learn a lot from them.

[Speaker 2] I see celebrities playing and wonder how good they could be. Famous? Sure. Good at poker? Well, maybe they're good at the "poker face." But it takes so much more to read opponents.

[Speaker 1] Orel Hershiser is a poker player with mad skills.  Probably part of it came from his competitive instinct.  It takes confidence as much as anything to play well.

[Speaker 2] Nerves of steel. Patience. Intelligence. I'll stick to video games. Can't lose the house that way. LOL
