[Speaker 1] Hello! How are you today?

[Speaker 2] Great. Just taking a break from playing football with the guys

[Speaker 1] That sounds fun. I enjoy sewing for fun. And swimming!

[Speaker 2] Interesting. I am too caught up in football for anything else

[Speaker 1] Do you play on a team?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I'm a linebacker. I actually made 128 tackles last year

[Speaker 1] Wow. Awesome! I love to make pies using ingredients from my garden.

[Speaker 2] What is in your garden?

[Speaker 1] We have all kinds of things. Spinach, pumpkin, tomatoes, blackberries.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, that sounds great! I should bring some for the team baltimore ravens

[Speaker 1] Oh my friend lives in baltimore and she's a huge fan!

[Speaker 2] Cool. I should get you guys some free tickets

[Speaker 1] That would be great. I would love to surprise her.

[Speaker 2] One day for sure. What else do you like?

[Speaker 1] I really like swimming! I love any ocean and lake!

[Speaker 2] I do sometimes to keep fit during the off season

I enjoy sewing and swimming.

I have a friend who lives in Baltimore.

I love to go to any ocean and lake.

Football's my only hobby.

I play for the Baltimore Ravens

My position is linebacker. I had 128 tackles last year.

I exercise to stay in shape.

[Speaker 1] How did your football practice go?

[Speaker 2] Practice was good. I went through all the plays in the new playbook with my teammates on the Baltimore Ravens. Man, it's tough work learning all those plays, but it's worth it once we get to execute them in a real game.

[Speaker 1] It must be, that's enough tackles to lead the league! I go to Ravens games when I visit my friend in Baltimore, maybe you can give us some tickets for next time?

[Speaker 2] Sure, I think I can hook you and your friend up. Just let me know when you'll be in Baltimore and which game you want to go to.

[Speaker 1] How about next time you play the Buccaneers? I want to see Brady in action at some point before he retires. No offence, of course.

[Speaker 2] That will be next season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are playing the Kansas City Chiefs next Sunday in the Super Bowl. I'll have to see what our schedule against Tampa Bay looks like next year.

[Speaker 1] Sounds good, I'm looking forward to it, even if it is that long away. What was your most memorable sack?

[Speaker 2] Well, in my last game, I sacked the quarterback three times, so I was really jazzed about that

[Speaker 1] That's impressive. Sometimes I wish I was more of a sports person, but I enjoy gardening too much. I'm a bit of a green thumb.

[Speaker 2] We all have our own unique interests. Do you do any professional gardening or just hobby stuff?

[Speaker 1] I enter crop into national competitions before, but so far I don't have any accolades to speak of on that level. I've won the state competition before.

[Speaker 2] What did you include in your competition-winning garden?

I enjoy sewing and swimming.

I love to go to any ocean and lake.

I have a friend in Baltimore. I go to Ravens games when I visit that friend. I hope you can give us tickets next time. I am a fan of Tom Brady. I am looking forward to the possibility of seeing the game next year.

I have entered crops into national competitions but have not won on that level. I have won the state competition.

Football's my only hobby.

I exercise to stay in shape.

In my last game I sacked the quarterback three times and that made me happy.

[Speaker 1] I received a new orchid via delivery today. I'm excited for the challenge of it. While orchids are quite beautiful, they are notoriously difficult to care for.

[Speaker 2] I have heard that they orchids quite finicky in their care. Have you crown an orchid before? From your past gardening experience I am sure this new orchid will flourish under your care!

[Speaker 1] I actually never had. Most my gardening is for fruits and veggies, things I can use in cooking. This orchid should look nice though. How's practice been?

[Speaker 2] We are in the off season for NFL, so we aren't running plays right now but we are continuing our exercise regime. I have been spending many days in the gym doing cardio as well as muscle building exercises. Diet is a huge part of our physical fitness as well. I sure wish I could garden as well as you do so that I could supplement my diet with home grown produce.

[Speaker 1] It takes about an hour each day. I imagine your practice schedule is pretty crazy. How do you deal with that?

[Speaker 2] Being a professional athlete, I have the good fortune of not having to balance a seperate career with my football schedule. That helps in terms of time constraints, as I look at the time I spent on my physical fitness and personal care as my time "on the clock".

[Speaker 1] That does make sense. Really cool especially because it's your hobby. It's pretty amazing you're at where you are. I hope your next season is even better than your last!

[Speaker 2] They say when you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life, and that is correct. I have been very fortunate to have the career I do considering how it started as just a hobby I loved as a child. How did you get into gardening?

[Speaker 1] It's just always been a nice thing to do. It doesn't take too long each day and you get to build towards something beautiful in multiple ways. It's very relaxing.

[Speaker 2] Do you have a favorite crop to grow? I know you like to use your produce in your meal preparation, have you found a favorite recipe?

[Speaker 1] Most vegetables are nice. Tomatoes I have to say are my favorite. They start small and turn into such pretty colors. And you get so many once they get going!

[Speaker 2] They seem like they would be versatile in use as well. So many recipies call for tomatoes, and they can be seasoned in many ways to meet a variety of flavor preferences.

I enjoy sewing and swimming.

I have a garden and i like to make pies. I grow spinach, pumpkins, tomatoes, and blackberries. My favorite vegetable to grow are tomatoes.

I love to go to any ocean and lake.

I have a friend in Baltimore. I go to Ravens games when I visit that friend. I am a fan of Tom Brady. I am looking forward to the possibility of seeing the game next year.

Sometimes I wish I played sports but I do enjoy gardening. I garden for about an hour each day.

I have not grown an orchid previously. I have gardened fruits and veggies before that I can use in cooking.

Football's my only hobby.

I play linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens. I had 128 tackles last year. I don't have another career.

It's difficult learning all the football plays but I find its worth it. I love football. It was a hobby when I was a child.

I work out at a gym where I do cardio and muscle building exercises. I diet as a part of our fitness routine. I am not that good of a gardener.

[Speaker 1] What age did you start playing football at when you were a child?

[Speaker 2] I started playing in a peewee league when I was 6.

[Speaker 1] Amazing!! How many time a week do you practise?

[Speaker 2] In the off-season I train 10 hours a day 6 days a week.

[Speaker 1] That is a rigorous training, is it from the gym you get the diet requirement you follow?

[Speaker 2] I get that mostly from the Raven's trainer.  Coach wants me to come into camp under 365 this year.

[Speaker 1] Oh I would love come see another Ravens game do you per chance have complementary ticket?

[Speaker 2] We do get some will call tickets for home games when it's not sold out.  Let me know when you are coming and I'll see what I can do.

[Speaker 1] you awesome , I will let you know my next visit. Would you like me brings some fruits from my garden for you

[Speaker 2] That would be great too!  I'd share them with the guys at the training table.

[Speaker 1] Thats fine. I will be more than happy to brings to share with the team

[Speaker 2] The trainer is insisting on us eating more simple carbs, instead of 16 pound steaks every meal.

[Speaker 2] No! When did it come out?

[Speaker 1] It came out last week. You definitely need to hear it. Are you ready for the snow this weekend?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I am so excited. I've got plans for a hike at least, and then I hope to get out and ski a bit. How about you?

[Speaker 1] Yes. I am really looking forward to the snow. I love the fall, but I am so ready for the winter weather. I will probably just stay inside and watch the snow.

[Speaker 2] It's always nice to be inside where it's warm and just watch the snow fall, for sure.

[Speaker 1] I agree. I have to help my mother cook soon. We are having spaghetti and meatballs, my favorite, as you know. What are you having for dinner?

[Speaker 2] Oooh, I'm jealous. We ate a few minutes ago. We had sandwiches and chips, lol.

[Speaker 1] It was really good. My mom puts 4 different cheeses on top of the spaghetti and meatballs. It is the best and a good winter meal. Sandwiches are always good, also

[Speaker 2] Do you ever make baked spaghetti?

[Speaker 1] No, but I want to! I am going to look for some recipes. Thank you for the inspiration.

[Speaker 2] It's really good, especially with some garlic bread.

[Speaker 2] Wow! I love spaghetti and meatballs, but I have to top it with parmesan for the magic touch. What do you like to do when it snows? Do you know how to ski?

[Speaker 1] I don't! I am going to have to ask my parents to teach me how to. How long have you been skiing for?

[Speaker 2] I have been skiing for a long time. My parents were ski instructors and I grew up going to the mountains every winter. It's a very fun sport filled with adrenaline. You should definitely ask your parents to take you skiing! Do you practice any sports?

[Speaker 1] I am going to very soon! Right now all I get to do is build snowmen and have snowball fights! I like sports but have mostly just been watching my mom play tennis. She is teaching me herself.

[Speaker 2] Wow! Tennis is a great sport. I recently watched the Australian Open and it was a lot of fun to watch. I love watching the ballpeople chase after the balls. Is your mom good at tennis?

[Speaker 1] She's a great tennis player! I hope to be just like her one day! She teaches me so many good things.

[Speaker 2] That's great that you get to bond with your mom over this amazing sport. What about your dad, does he play any sports?

[Speaker 1] My dad is more into hiking, just like you! I love to go hiking with him, especially in the fall.

[Speaker 2] Ah! If you are ever in the Northeast, I recommend you go hiking in Shenandoah! There are some beautiful state parks there and you'll love the foliage. It can get pretty crowded so I suggest you go early.

[Speaker 1] My dad will love that! I am going to have to tell him about that tonight! He has been trying to plan our next trip for such a long time.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I'm sure he'll love it. Look for some pictures on google and show him and I'll sure you'll convince him really quickly! Where was your last family trip to?

I am in elementary school.

I am a fan of One Direction.

I don't know how to ski. My parents know how to ski. I am going skiing soon. I currently build snowmen and have snowball fights. I like sports. My mom plays tennis and is teaching me. My mom is a great tennis player. I want to be like her one day.

My dad is into hiking. I love to go hiking with him, especially in the fall. My dad has been trying to plan our next trip for a long time.

I watch Game of Thrones.

I like Madonna.

I like baked spaghetti and garlic bread. My favorite food is spaghetti with lots of cheese and meatballs. I like to top it with parmesan.

I like Winter. I like snow. I like to hike and ski. I have been skiing for a long time. My parents were ski instructors. I grew up going to the mountains every winter. I think skiing is a fun sport filled with adrenaline.

I thought the Australian Open was really fun to watch. I love watching the ballpeople chase after balls.

I am into hiking.

[Speaker 1] My dad booked the trip to Shenandoah after your recommendation!

[Speaker 2] That's great. The scenery there is breathtakingly beautiful. I'm sure they will enjoy the trip. Will you be going on the trip with them?

[Speaker 1] I will not be but I have always wanted to go. What is your favorite part about the area?

[Speaker 2] There are some amazing waterfalls to see there, which is my favorite part. There are also some great hiking trails, too. I know you would enjoy the hiking trails if you ever get a chance to go.

[Speaker 1] I would absolutely love hiking the trails it is one of my favorite things to do! How often do you hike?

[Speaker 2] There are some hiking areas with safe yet exciting trails, all about thirty minutes from my house, so I usually go hiking at least two or three times per month. And you and your dad, how often do you get to go hiking together?

[Speaker 1] Together not as much as I would like. I tend to go on my own more often than not, which is okay because it is peaceful

[Speaker 2] Yes it is so peaceful. It is a great way to practice mindfulness, and just enjoy the present time minute by minute.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! Is that how you feel about skiing in the winter as well?

[Speaker 2] Yes, but fast skiing is definitely on the more exciting side of my activities, whereas hiking is usually more peaceful, as you mentioned.  The rush I get from skiing cannot be beat. It is definitely my favorite sport activity.

[Speaker 1] Sounds so fun! I wish I knew how to ski!

[Speaker 2] It is easy to learn, and most ski resorts offer lessons for newbies.  You should give it a try.

[Speaker 1] I'm cutting some trees

[Speaker 2] I'm wiccan, I love nature and trees.

[Speaker 1] Really, interesting, I enjoy fishing

[Speaker 2] Who does not? I've a hard time believing fishing stories though.

[Speaker 1] Fishing ans some pancakes plus syrup, the life haha

[Speaker 2] Waffles are pancakes with syrup traps. Much better.

[Speaker 1] Yep love waffles, what is your fav food

[Speaker 2] My favorite food are tacos. And bacon. Haha

[Speaker 1] Nice combo there, how old are you

[Speaker 2] A 36 year old starving metal musician living the american dream!!

[Speaker 1] Cool sounds better than cutting down trees

[Speaker 2] If you don't mind being tired, broke, and hungry. But its a passion.

I am tired, broke, and hungry.

[Speaker 1] I went fishing today, and I caught a really big fish!

[Speaker 2] Good for you! Where were you fishing and what did you catch?

[Speaker 1] I'm currently on vacation in Florida. I caught a manta ray off the coast.

[Speaker 2] Where in Florida? What did you do with the manta ray after you caught it? Did you put it back or keep it as a trophy for bragging rights?

[Speaker 1] I'm in Tampa at the moment. I released it. I considered keeping it as a trophy, but it was too majestic to keep.

[Speaker 2] I think you did the right thing. I haven't done much fishing in my life, but I've always put back fish that I caught because I wanted the fish to live and I don't eat fish. When are you on vacation until? Where do you live?

[Speaker 1] Agreed, although I do have a sailfish mounted on my wall. I get back next week. I'm from Boston. How about you? Where are you from?

[Speaker 2] Enjoy the rest of your vacation while it lasts. I'm from Los Angeles, California. I moved here because I'm trying to make it big as a heavy metal musician, but the music scene is tough to break into. I'm originally from Chicago, Illinois, though.

[Speaker 1] Well, I hope you make it big. With enough practice and dedication and perhaps some luck, you should be able to. What's the most famous band you've performed with?

[Speaker 2] Thanks. I really want to be a rock star. At 36 years old, I have a lot of experience playing music, but I'm running out of time. I haven't played with any famous bands, and I've only done local gigs at dive bars and small venues. Are you into heavy metal?

[Speaker 1] Not really. I like rock, but metal is too much for me. I'm more into nu metal and classic rock.

[Speaker 2] I love classic rock. My favorite artists include Neil Young, the Grateful Dead, Santana, the Steve Miller Band, Bob Seger, and the Allman Brothers Band. What are your favorite artists?

I love waffles.

I went fishing. I am on vacation in Florida. I am visiting Tampa.

I live in Boston.

I volunteer at an animal shelter.

I'm wiccan. I love nature and trees.

I don't eat fish.

I live in Los Angeles, California. I am from Chicago, Illinois.

I love classic rock music. My favorite artists are Neil Young, the Grateful Dead, Santana, the Steve Miller Band, Bob Seger, and the Allman Brothers Band.

[Speaker 1] I am about to head home 2 days later, have you been to Florida before? Any recommendations?

[Speaker 2] I have to say that I've never been to Florida before. It's probably a lot like California so I'd recommend the beaches and anything to do with that. Are you thinking of doing some salt water fishing while you are there?

[Speaker 1] I'm thinking about going fishing, yes! Also I would love to go snorkeling. How do you like living in LA? Do you go fishing there?

[Speaker 2] It's okay. It's great for getting work for the band and all but I have to get out of town to see my true love, nature! In my free time I like to drive as far away as I can get.

[Speaker 1] Wow! The band must keep you very busy. What's the furthest you have driven in your car? I'd love to go on a roadtrip in California some day

[Speaker 2] The furthest I have gone so far is about 300 miles.  That was for a gig though.  Do you go on road trips where you are?

[Speaker 1] I have gone on road trips before, yes. I like going to Niagara Falls every once in a while. If I'm feeling adventurous I'll even cross the Canadian border and go to Toronto. I love driving and I listen to cool music in the car to keep it fun.

[Speaker 2] I hear you there!  What is it like in Canada? I would love to go and see a different country!

[Speaker 1] It is really cool, actually! I love Toronto and Quebec, I would like to visit other parts of Canada like Montreal, though. The people are so nice there. I think your family would love it too! Maybe you can suggest it for a family trip as well.

[Speaker 2] Maybe some day when i have the money.  Did you check out any parks while you were there?  I've seen pictures of blue lakes online and wondered if they were real.

[Speaker 1] I did not, I mainly went to museums, but I will the next time I visit. What do you want to be when you grow up?

[Speaker 2] I can't decide between a musician or something to do with animals. I love them both so much!  Say, what kind of museums did you go to?

Fishing and some pancakes and syrup is a good life to me. I love waffles.

I was on vacation in Tampa. I live in Boston.

I like classic rock music, but not metal music. I have a family.

I like fishing. I like snorkeling.

I want to go on a roadtrip in California. I have been to Niagara Falls and Toronto. I listen to cool music while I drive.

I love Toronto and Quebec. I want to visit Montreal because the people are nice there.  I have visited museums in Canada. I haven't visited parks in Canada yet, but I will next time.

I am tired, broke. I don't eat fish.

I love being in nature. I like driving to far places. I have never visited a different country. I haven't visited Florida yet.

I have a family. I don't have enough money for a trip right now.

I want to be a musician or to work with animals when I grow up.

[Speaker 1] What is your favorite album of all time?

[Speaker 2] I think Neil Young's album On The Beach is probably my favorite, but I like all of his albums a lot. I know we both like classic rock music, but what are some of your favorites?

[Speaker 1] Rumors by Fleetwood Mac and Nevermind by Nirvana are both excellent.

[Speaker 2] I'm trying to learn how to play more Nirvana songs right now actually! I'm surprised you like their music

[Speaker 1] Oh, that's excellent. Yeah, Nirvana is punk rock, which is a bit more "metal-y" than classic rock, but I'm a fan. As long as it's not hardcore, heavy metal, I'm ok with it.

[Speaker 2] Awesome! You still might not like my music too much haha. Where did you last see a band in concert?

[Speaker 1] I last saw a live rock concert in Toronto! It was lots of fun. Not too many recognizable names, but I enjoyed the experience nonetheless.

[Speaker 2] I hope I can visit Toronto and the rest of Canada sometime soon. There is an abundance of beautiful nature in Canada that I'd love to explore. How was the food in Canada?

[Speaker 1] The food was excellent. It's not overly dissimilar to American cuisine, and has some French influences to it. Think of Canada like New Orleans, but of the north.

[Speaker 2] Interesting! I have been to New Orleans twice, once to play a show and once to celebrate Mardi Gras. Have you ever visited?

[Speaker 1] I have! I really like bourbon street and their crawfish boils. You won't see too much of that in Canada, though.

[Speaker 2] I believe it. The weather is quite different as well, I imagine. I have seen some Canadian whiskeys in stores before which I do enjoy.


I'm a fan if the great white.

[Speaker 1] Good morning how are you

[Speaker 2] I'm great, just working on my live action role playing character, how are you?

[Speaker 1] I enjoy reading and studying sharks

[Speaker 2] Sharks are awesome, there are some in my role playing world

[Speaker 1] That is neat I like to boogie dance

[Speaker 2] I love dancing, but I live at home with my mom and loud music bothers here

[Speaker 1] Sometimes if it is to loud it gives me a headache

[Speaker 2] That's what my mom says, but I cannot leave her, she needs me

[Speaker 1] I'm so glad that you are there for your mother

[Speaker 2] My father is gone and she needs my help and emotional support

[Speaker 1] That's sad. Do you read to her

[Speaker 2] She helps me with my live action role playing where I am a general in an army

[Speaker 1] She sounds like a great mom

[Speaker 2] She's my best friend

[Speaker 1] Did you encounter any interesting animals during your work today?

[Speaker 2] Well, we had a call from a farmer who had needed us to come by and look at his cow! I don't think I've ever worked on a cow before. I was surprised by just how BIG they are!

[Speaker 1] Wow. I don't think I have ever seen a cow up close. What was wrong with the cow? Was it sick?

[Speaker 2] It had a sore that had gotten infected and we had to clean it out and give it some antibiotics. Pretty  gross actually. I thought all farmers kept cows! What animals do you keep instead?

[Speaker 1] I am glad you were able to fix the cow. I am a farmer without cows. :)  I only have alpacas on my farm. The alpaca farm has been in my family for a long time.

[Speaker 2] Alpacas seem so cute! Are they as fluffy in person as they are in pictures?

[Speaker 1] Theyreally are! They are great animals. Since I have not been working, I have been spending more time with them. I am really attached. Have you ever had an alpaca as a patient?

[Speaker 2] No, I haven't, but I feel like I'd love it. It seems like it would be really calming to work with them, but I suppose some of them might be mean?

[Speaker 1] They can have a variety of temperments, but all of mine are pretty calm and peaceful. They like to rest and relax out in the sun, just like me.

[Speaker 2] Oh man. Lying out in a big sunny field with alpacas sounds better than a beach! I'm sure you love them all equally, but do you have any favorites?

[Speaker 1] I do love them all. It is hard to choose. But there is a baby that was born 2 weeks ago, and she is so cute and cuddly.

[Speaker 2] Oh she sounds so cute! What did you name her?

I am from Kansas. I am a farmer. My farm has been in my family a long time.  My alpacas are calm and peaceful. I have a baby alpaca who was born two weeks ago. I've been spending more time with my alpacas. I like to read the farmers almanac.

I currently have no job. I want to find another job one day.

I would like to live in Hawaii.

I like to read.

I sometimes watch reality TV. My favorite movie genre is horror. Stephen King is my favorite author.

[Speaker 1] My baby Alpaca is acting like she isn't feeling well. If I can't get her feeling better I might need you to have to come out here and help me.

[Speaker 2] I'm so sorry to hear that! I wouldn't mind taking a look at her at all if I lived closer.  There might be someone nearby who could stop by. Kansas is a long way for me.

[Speaker 1] I see. In this case I will try to call a friend of mine that works as doctor. He might give me some help in case. Where are you living now?

[Speaker 2] I'm in Michigan.  I think you might want to see if there is someone who specializes in alpaca's.  I don't know much about them, but a specialist might have some insight that a normal vet wouldn't. Sorry I can't help!  Do you have multiple babies or is it just the one?

[Speaker 1] Yeah maybe you are right. I am in a bit of a shock right now and I do not think clearly. I am so worried about her. She is the only one. That's why I am so worried. I really care for her

[Speaker 2] I can understand that.  Have you always had alpaca's or is that a more recent endeavor for you?

[Speaker 1] Yes indeed. It is a recent endeavour. I am quite familiar with all the rest of the animals in the farm, but this is the first time I am dealing with a baby Alpaca. What animals do you usually work with?

[Speaker 2] Well since I'm a vet tech, I normally just work with the typical dogs and cats that get brought in. Occasionally I will get called in to help with something larger or more unusual. I love all animals, but dogs really are my favorite.

[Speaker 1] What kind of dogs are your favourites?

[Speaker 2] I have always loved basset hounds.  Those floppy ears and droopy eyes get me every time! What is your favorite animal on the farm?

[Speaker 1] I do not really have any favourite. I love all my animals. In their way, each of them is fundamental for the whole farm. In this moment, perhaps, I would say the baby alpaca, Alex, is my favourite.

[Speaker 2] That's great, I love the farm and life on it as well.  You mentioned one day having a job besides the farm.  What other kinds of things interest you?

I would like to live in Hawaii.

I have a baby Alpaca named Alex. My baby Alpaca is special to me. Raising Alpacas is new to me. I am generally experienced caring for animals.

I like to read.

I am a vet tech. I help heal animals. I have never worked with alpaca's. I work mostly with dogs and cats. Dogs are my favorite animal. I love basset hounds. I love working on the farm.

I live in Michigan.

[Speaker 1] I was able to get someone qualified to come treat Alex for me.

[Speaker 2] Is it a special occasion for Alex?

[Speaker 1] No, but she is not progressing as she should be for this age, so I need a vet specialized in Alpaca care to come and take a look at her.

[Speaker 2] Oh Ok, I see.  I know Alex is like family, so I'm sure you're a bit nervous having somebody come into to see her.

[Speaker 1] Yes you are right. Also, I feel like this is a hit to my pride because I usually know how to deal with all of my animals ailments but the alpacas are a mystery to me.

[Speaker 2] Well, you're still getting used to alpacas.  Hopefully the expert can shed some light.  What kind of symptoms is she having?

[Speaker 1] She doesn't seem to want to eat anything. What do you normally do with animals like that on the farm?

[Speaker 2] well, usually the mother can eventually help the baby along.  But in this case I assume the mother hasn't been able to help?

[Speaker 1] No, the mother is showing no interest whatsoever in Alex. Can alpacas experience post-partum depression? Because I think the mother may have it.

[Speaker 2] Hmmm, interesting point.  I assume they can, just like anybody else.  Hopefully the vet can take a deeper look and determine what's going on.  Anyways, how is the rest of the farm going?

[Speaker 1] Yes, hopefully. Everything else here is going great! How about with you?

[Speaker 2] Vet business is keeping my busy...dogs and cats are my day but I love the little fur balls!!!  Been so busy I've hardly had time to read.

[Speaker 2] I'm pretty good, too. Do you like sushi? I love it.

[Speaker 1] Its alright do you wear glasses?

[Speaker 2] No. Do you? I own my own car, do you?

[Speaker 1] Yeah I own them yo

[Speaker 2] When you say them, how many cars do you have?

[Speaker 1] Like a dozen heh. I love the rain

[Speaker 2] Rain is calming to the soul.

[Speaker 1] Do you ever just stand in it?

[Speaker 2] Sometimes but not when it is lightening.

[Speaker 1] As long as you do not have any metal on you

[Speaker 2] I do not think it is safe period.

[Speaker 1] Awesome, what major? Mine was american literature and education

[Speaker 2] Computer sciences. I work as a software engineer.

[Speaker 1] Must be hard! I want to teach kids at school myself, elementary school hopefully

[Speaker 2] Its worth it. I've a great job at google.

[Speaker 1] What do you do for fun? I love long weekend hikes myself

[Speaker 2] I go hunt for the best lobster.

[Speaker 1] Haha that's funny I am a boring person compared to you!

[Speaker 2] Nah, not at all. I just live near the coast in seattle.

[Speaker 1] And you do computer stuff! Hopefully I wo not have to use one at school

[Speaker 2] I think you'll be out of luck. It would be uncommon to not use one.

[Speaker 1] Yeah you are right.. Kids will be better than me on it though!

[Speaker 2] Going back to school later in life?

I just graduated.

I do not have a job.

I love to hike.

I like lobster.

I live in seattle.

[Speaker 1] I've started sending out resumes to some elementary schools.

[Speaker 2] Have you had any look? I was lucky my internship turned to a job, it must be rough trying to get a job right now

[Speaker 1] yeah it actually is. I love teaching and I'm very good when it comes to interaction with kids, yet no esponse. how did you get your internship btw?

[Speaker 2] That's a shame, hopefully something will come up soon, I know you're definitely qualified. I got lucky that my college helped me get a place on Google's intern program, I wouldn't have known what to do otherwise. Not a huge number of jobs in Seattle otherwise

[Speaker 1] oh, thanks man. they say it's all about networking and I'm pretty new to the city. Maybe I should try to reconcile with some of my old friends here. Do you know any social media for people looking for a job?

[Speaker 2] Definitely, it's all about connections these days! I don't know of any social media jobs right now, but I'll keep an eye out for you! Have you been up to much other than the job hunt?

[Speaker 1] unfortunately not. I even had to cancel a hiking tour with my friend planned way before now but I'm in red and behind my rent, so better to get my hands on a job quickly. let's not make it all about me! :) what have you been up to?

[Speaker 2] Ah that's such a pity! I'm sure you'll find something soon, and then you'll be able to go hiking when you like. Not a huge amount, working most days recently. A lovely restaurant has just opened nearby though, I'll have to take you sometime. The lobster is fantastic there

[Speaker 1] Sure, I love seafood and believe me or not haven't tried lobsters, always waiting for a friend to take me to a good place. how does it taste? is it more like shrimps or fish?

[Speaker 2] Ah no! We'll have to fix that and get you some lobster, on me aha. Honestly I don't even know how to describe it, you have to taste it to do it justice! Are you free next week? I could maybe help you with your resume while we're out

[Speaker 1] oh, that would be very nice of you. I'll give it a try. always open to risk it and try new food. I think I'll be free. no plans as of now. what specific day you have in mind? like weekend or a weekday?

I just graduated. My major was american literature and education.

I do not have a job. I am applying for a job at elementary schools.

I recently moved to Seattle. I love hiking.

I am behind on my bills.

I like seafood, but have never tried lobster. I like to try new food. I should be available to meet up next week.

I went to college. I did my internship at Google. My major was computer sciences. I am a software engineer at google. I work most days.

I like lobster. I live in Seattle.

[Speaker 1] I received a call from one of the schools that I applied to and they want me to interview in two days.

[Speaker 2] Oh how wonderful! Very exciting! Maybe we can meet next week after your interview is over.

[Speaker 1] I would love that. We can go out for lobster since I know you like it a lot.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like a plan! I know of a new restaurant that opened in downtown Seattle that we can try out. I know you like to try new food, so this will be good!

[Speaker 1] That sounds good I am looking forward to it. How is your job at google lately?

[Speaker 2] It is going very well, although I am working most days including weekends. It'll be good to meet you and get a break from that.

[Speaker 1] That sounds stressful I don't know if I could do it software engineering seems so complicated. Yea we will have a good time maybe we can also do some shopping.

[Speaker 2] Maybe we should go hiking on the weekend instead. It will cost less money than shopping and I know you are behind on your bills. It will be good fun.

[Speaker 1] Oh that sounds fun I wouldn't mind pivoting to that. Thanks for always being so considerate though since I am new here I will have to rely on you to pick the hiking trail since you have lived in Seattle longer.

[Speaker 2] Sure, I know a few. A good meal and a nice hike. Sounds like a great plan

[Speaker 1] Yeah sounds like a lot of fun will be nice to get some exercise in and get to see some different sights in Seattle.

[Speaker 2] Good luck on your job interview at the elementary school

I've been in a relationship for many years.

[Speaker 1] Hello, I hope you are safe from the fires and floods,

[Speaker 2] I am safe but times like these always make me miss my mother.

[Speaker 1] Mine is a language teacher, I speak three. Does she live near?

[Speaker 2] Well, she passed away, unfortunately.

[Speaker 1] I'm so sorry. Mine taught me how to cook.

[Speaker 2] Well, since I like being alone, its okay.

[Speaker 1] I like being alone as well. More time to go bike riding and do what I want.

[Speaker 2] I want to get a bike. I would like a pink one.

[Speaker 1] Mine is yellow, I did the paint myself

[Speaker 2] That's really cool! How often do you bike?

[Speaker 1] Daily, same with running and other forms of exercising.

[Speaker 2] I should really exercise daily.

[Speaker 1] Its healthy and you'll feel better.

[Speaker 2] Are you married? I am lucky and found my person in high school.

I speak three languages.
I like to being alone.
I painted my bike yellow.
I bike daily. I run daily.

I am safe from fires and floods.

My mother is dead.

I like being alone.

I want to get a bike.

I want to exercise daily.

I found my current spouse when I was a student in high school.

[Speaker 1] What kind of bike are you looking for?

[Speaker 2] I am really not sure. I have not had a bike since I was a teenager. But I think it will be a good workout for me.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely, biking is a great workout.  I have a Diamondback Mountain bike and it is great.  It was a bit pricey, but I justify it because I use it everyday.  You could get a very good bike for 300-400.  I can recommend a few if you want.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I really do want your recommendations and advice. I know you have been biking for a long time. How many miles do you usually bike?

[Speaker 1] I do about 10-12 miles a day.  I would consider a Cannondale, a Giant or even a good ole Schwinn...can never go wrong with that brand, their bikes are still rock solid.  It really depends on where you will be biking, trails, road, or both?

[Speaker 2] You really know your stuff. I want to focus on trails. I feel like biking is something that I can do alone, out in nature, and will be peaceful and serene.

[Speaker 1] No doubt, there is nothing like being on the trail and in tune with nature.  It is liberating.  I would go with a Cannondale, which will probably be at the top of the 300-500 price range.  I would also suggest you attach a GPS device to your bike if you will be riding remotely.  It gives my wife a sense of security knowing she can track me when I am off road.

[Speaker 2] I am glad you understand. That is all really good input. Thank you. Do you usually go on trails or roads? I feel it will be a long time before I would ever be able to bike as much as you do, but I may as well start.

[Speaker 1] I do both.  I am a member of a road racing club where we ride mostly on country roads. What I really enjoy though is trail riding.  There are many good trails where I am at and it get's me away from things.  Sometimes I even bike to a location, secure my bike and do a 2 mile run through the woods. Do you run?

[Speaker 2] I do run, but not as much as you. You run every day, don't you? I got in to running about 3 years ago. I do about 5 miles a few times a week. It is really cathartic for me.

[Speaker 1] I do run daily, usually before work.  I try to get out at about 530AM and try to do 3-4 miles a day.  I once ran a marathon, but would need lot's of training to attempt another one.  I would really love to do a triathlon some day.  Something to strive for!

[Speaker 2] You are amazing.  I wish I was as dedicated as you are. I have thought about running some races, but I am really all about the solo running. It helps me clear my head. I feel the presence of other people will ruin that for me.

I speak three languages.

I am married. I like to being alone.

I painted my bike yellow. I bike and run daily. I have a Diamondback Mountain bike. I  once ran a marathon. I run around 3-4 miles a day. I live where there are trails.

I am safe from fires and floods.

My mother is dead.

I like being alone.

I want to get a bike and bike on trails. I have not had a bike since I was a teenager. I want to exercise daily. I run about 5 miles a few times a week.

[Speaker 1] I had a great ride up a hill side on Monday.

[Speaker 2] That sounds tricky. How long of a ride was it? Did you legs get burnt out?

[Speaker 1] It was a bit tricky as the weather had been a bit damp in the preceding days making the trails a bit mucky. Riding in those conditions do make the legs tired, but it is also an excellent workout! Have you gotten out for a run lately?

[Speaker 2] I ran this morning, I must have been feeling it because I was able to do 6 miles today and it actually felt easy. Sometimes running gets repetitive and I get bored, that's why I want to get into biking.

[Speaker 1] I enjoy running, but I agree that at times it can be a bit repetitive. Biking is a great way to stay active while also being able to see different sights and terrain.

[Speaker 2] Do you think that since I run a few times a week it will help me with leg strength for biking?

[Speaker 1] I would think so, yes. Picking a high quality bike and choosing the correct gears for the terrain you are on are important too. But because your legs already have a good muscle base you should be able to handle more difficult inclines with very little effort.

[Speaker 2] Do you have a favorite brand? I would love to get a decent quality bike, one that would last me a while and I could modify if needed.

[Speaker 1] Diamondback is my favorite. It is a bit of an investment initially, but the quality of the machine as well as the smoothness of the ride pays for itself. Do you have a local bike shop? The staff there would be able to reccomend a bike that meets your needs as you are just starting out, and may have a better idea on the tires that would best suit your local terrain.

[Speaker 2] I do have one, but I've heard they are overpriced. Maybe I can go locally and check them out and figure out sizing and what will be best for me, then price shop online and order something. It's a fairly small shop, so I doubt they will have a lot to choose from.

[Speaker 1] That is a very good idea. But also take into consideration the quality of service you will get with an online purchase, should your bike need repairs. When it ocmes to being overpriced, it wouldn't hurt to shop around online a bit to get an idea of what is within normal range. I always like to support a local smaller business if the price is comparable to something I can purchase online. I like to think that I am helping that owner to put food on their families table.

[Speaker 2] That's an excellent point. I'd hate to order something and then not be able to have repairs done easily or have to return it because of shipping issues.

[Speaker 1] Snake? Furry? Do you sleep with your snake?

[Speaker 2] No I don't, its my husbands pet. I've got a phobia against spiders, but not the snake.

[Speaker 2] I bet they do! What do you do for a living? I'm a computer technician.

[Speaker 1] Married my high school honey, taking care of our home.

[Speaker 2] Www that's sweet. I secretly hate my job.

[Speaker 1] My kids have an amazing teacher.

[Speaker 2] Really? What subject do they teach your kids?

[Speaker 1] It's their science teacher who has been absolutely amazing! He's really gotten them interested in science and made it seem fun

[Speaker 2] Oh that's really great! I hated most of my science teachers growing up, so I want to be a teacher so I can do a better job. I actually thought you were going to say you homeschooled your kids and so you were the amazing teacher lol!

[Speaker 1] No, I don't think I'd be a good teacher at all. I get too frustrated when somebody doesn't understand something. Science seems to be one of the hardest things to get people interested in so I'm really glad that my kids have been enjoying it so much. I hope they're able to keep the interest up

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that would be good. Oh, I totally get you about the frustrated thing though! I get so upset when I try to explain something to a customer like six times and they still don't get it at all.

[Speaker 1] Yes! Before I got married I was in customer service for a while. I really couldn't deal with the customers. It was impossible to explain policies to them over and over. I'm thankful that now my kids just see me as fun because I'm home all the time and I'm always trying to create some adventure for them.

[Speaker 2] Yes! I'm always thinking to myself, "You're an adult in 2020. It's not that hard to figure out!" What adventures have you made for your kids recently?

[Speaker 1] Well we recently had a treasure hunt in the back yard where they had to find a pirate's burried treasure. That took me several days to put together!

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a little kid's dream! What did you bury for them to find?

[Speaker 1] Some old pirate themed books and gift cards for iTunes. They love reading so I'm sure they'll take their time finishing the books first.

I have been married for 10 years.I have 3 kids in school. I am a homemaker.

My children are interested in science.

I am frustratable.

I don't like customer service.

I like creating adventure for my children. I made a treasure hunt for my kids.

I am a computer technician in customer service. I hate my job. I want to be a teacher.

I love jalapeno cheetos.

[Speaker 1] I planned another amazing activity for my kids today.

[Speaker 2] Is it another amazing treasure hunt? They had so much fun when we talked last week, I'm curious about your adventures for them today/

[Speaker 1] Pretty much, yeah. Considering that they loved the previous one, they'll be blown away by this! It's basically a sequel to the first treasure hunt haha.

[Speaker 2] How they raved about lasts weeks grand adventure, you could give them the exact same one and i'm sure they would not complain. You are the best homemaker. There should be an award.

[Speaker 1] Thanks! They are my award :) Maybe we should make a treasure hunt for your pets too? I bet they're lonely when you're not home!

[Speaker 2] I love my pets. But they would never appreciate the creativity involved. Someday My husband and I will have kids and then I will make the most fantastic adventures in the world. with your help of course!

[Speaker 1] Oh, you don't know that, pets love to have fun too! I'm sure you will be a great mom though, there's no doubt about it.

[Speaker 2] Your right I don't know. But I do know that my pets are kind of like fur babies and that we have so many beacuse we are so hesitant to have kids beacuse they are smarter and more demanding. I can give a dog a bone, but I have to give a child support and education

[Speaker 1] That's totally understandable, I agree with what you're saying. Kids are a huge responsibility, one of the toughest in life probably. So it's only up to you and your husband to decide if you really want them.

[Speaker 2] Thanks. I was going to wait but now that we are on the topic. I am pregnant!

[Speaker 1] Wow, congrats! Does your husband know?

[Speaker 2] No. He is away on duty for the next couple months so I was going to wait.

My children are interested in science.

I am frustratable. I don't like customer service.

I like creating adventure for my children. I set up treasure hunts and adventures for my kids.

I'm a homemaker. I think kids are worth the responsibility.

I love jalapeno cheetos.

I have pets. I have a husband. I don't have kids. I'm hesitant to have kids. I am pregnant.

My husband works out of town. My husband doesn't know I'm pregnant.

[Speaker 1] How does your husband feel about having kids?

[Speaker 2] He want kids... am sure telling him will be a great joy for him

[Speaker 1] That is so exciting! Have you figured out how you will tell him the news?

[Speaker 2] Hmmn ... more of a surprise way and a bit romantic . I am not sure how to go about it yet  Do you have any idea?

[Speaker 1] I am not too sure. Are you planning to tell him in person when he gets home from duty or would you rather tell him sooner?

[Speaker 2] I would prefer when he returns I need his warm hug to keep me calm

[Speaker 1] Wow, good for you for being able to keep it a secret for that long! You may already be showing by the time he gets home, that will be an easy way to tell him!

[Speaker 2] I hope it wont be that obvious when he comes home. Tell me how was it like  with your first kid

[Speaker 1] The first one was the easiest! I loved being pregnant. But the second and third I had the worst morning sickness. Are you experiencing that?

[Speaker 2] Oh really. For now no that big dramas I dont think I can cope by myself if I have all those signs

[Speaker 1] You are stronger than you know! Do you have any other family nearby to help support while your husband is away?

[Speaker 2] No one around... I dont want think negative at the moment I have all under sweet momentum for now and my husband call every day atleast twice to check on me I cant wait to leave my job and go see him

I'm very attentive in class.
I desire to be a vet as an adult.
I am in high school.

[Speaker 1] Hi there, do you enjoy spring as much as me?

[Speaker 2] I sure do! It is when the baby animals come out!

[Speaker 1] It is my favorite time to fish.

[Speaker 2] Ew, fish are gross! I want to be a vet, but not of fish

[Speaker 1] Fish killed my father when I was two years old.

[Speaker 2] Omg! That is just the saddest thing I've ever heard

[Speaker 1] I've sworn to spear all the fish I come across.

[Speaker 2] Do you have teeny tiny spears for the little fish?

[Speaker 1] No, I give those the death stare with my piercing blue eyes!!

[Speaker 2] Fish can be violent and deadly. You are a brave soul.

[Speaker 1] They killed my father, they must prepare to die!

[Speaker 2] Oh, you are so gallant with your vengeful threats!

[Speaker 1] All I'm saying is that I'm ready to grill some fish.

[Speaker 2] Now I'm hungry! I eat fish n chips after playing hockey or soccer.

[Speaker 1] Alright take it easy... Fish tacos!!

[Speaker 2] Hmmmm food sounds good right round now

Spring is my favorite time to fish.

I've sworn to spear all fish.

I don't like fish. I want to be a vet.

I play soccer. I eat fish and chips after playing soccer.

[Speaker 1] What position do you play in soccer?

[Speaker 2] I am a goalie. Do you play soccer or is fishing the only sport you play?

[Speaker 1] I used to play soccer when I was a kid, but now I just stick to fishing. When is your next game? Maybe I can go.

[Speaker 2] It's next weekend. We had practice yesterday and we all went to eat fish and chips after. I also had a beer. Do you like beer?

[Speaker 1] I do like beer, and it definitely goes well with fish and chips. What is your favorite beer?

[Speaker 2] I like Heineken.  What is your favorite beer?

[Speaker 1] Heineken is my favorite, also! It is so good. I find people either love it or hate it.  Actually, I haven't had Heineken in a while. I may need to go get some.

[Speaker 2] Yea there are always great prices at Vons for beer, I recommend going there. It's my favorite grocery store. Do you like to cook?

[Speaker 1] I do like to cook. Do you? I am going fishing in a little while and then I am going to cook up the fish.

[Speaker 2] I do! My favorite food to cook is mexican. Fun! Where are you going to fish?

[Speaker 1] You will have to cook me a Mexican meal one day. I am going down to the river near my house. It is very serene there.

[Speaker 2] Definitely! That sounds relaxing! I haven't fished since I was a kid

Spring is my favorite time to fish.

I've sworn to spear all fish.

I used to play soccer.

I like heineken beer the best too.

I don't like fish. I want to be a vet.

I play soccer. I am the goalie.

I like Heineken beer. I like to go to Vons for beer. Its my favorite grocery store.

I like mexican.

[Speaker 1] Would you like to go eat mexican?

[Speaker 2] Yes, that would be wonderful. Did you have a specific place in mind?

[Speaker 1] I was thinking that local place just of Main St? We could go to a bar after, it's been a while since I had a night out.

[Speaker 2] I love that place, they have amazing fajitas! That sounds like a wonderful plan, I'm down. When was the last time you had a night out? It's been about a month for me!

[Speaker 1] Oh wow! For me probably about two weeks. I've mostly exhausted myself during the day, with all the fishing. I can't abandon my mission. But I took a break these last few days so I finally have some energy!

[Speaker 2] What is your mission? I have two jobs so the 12 hours days are killer, it will be nice to go out with you and get some food and drinks.

[Speaker 1] The mission to spear all fish. 12 hours is insane! You must be exhausted. Do you like your jobs?

[Speaker 2] Spear all fish? That's a lot, how many fish have you speared so far? I like one of my jobs, but the other is just a side gig to pay of student loans.

[Speaker 1] I've speared many, but they just keep coming. I know it's a doomed endeavor, but every fish gives me some satisfaction. Yeah, I get the side gig thing. I'd like to become a chef one day, but waiting tables is all I can manage right now.

[Speaker 2] It must seem like a daunting hobby, but I'm sure you get a lot of satisfaction from it! That's cool, what kind of food do you specialize in?

[Speaker 1] Fish tacos, fish sandwiches, filets of fish. Wide variety, really. I bet I could open up a restaurant one day.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense because you like to fish! I hope fish and chips would be on your menu, and beer too. I like Heinekin best, Blue Moon second.

Spring is my favorite time to fish. Fish killed my father. My father died when i was 2.

I've sworn to spear all fish.

I used to play soccer.

I like heineken beer the best too.

I wait tables. I want to be a chef. I like to cook. I like to fish and then cook the fish. I fish by the river at my house.

I enjoy Mexican food.

I haven't been out in two weeks. I fish during the day with a spear. I want to open a seafood restaurant.

I don't like fish. I want to be a vet. I eat fish and chips after playing soccer.

I play soccer. I am the goalie.

I like to go to Vons for beer. Its my favorite grocery store. I like Mexican food.

I haven't had a night out in a month.

I have two jobs. I work 12 hours a day. I like my main job. I have student debt. I work a part time job to help pay off debt.

I like fish and chips. Heinekin is my favorite beer. I like Blue Moon beer.

[Speaker 1] How long do you think you'll have to keep a part time job?

[Speaker 2] I am not sure, it is taking a long time to pay down my student debt. Do you make good money waiting tables? Maybe I can get into that line of work to speed things along.

[Speaker 1] I do make okay money waiting tables but it can be so inconsistent, you really have to work weekends to make anything, would you be okay with that?

[Speaker 2] I think I would if the money was good. When do you think you will open your restaurant? You could hire me, haha!

[Speaker 1] As of now no real plans to open one, definitely hoping to open a seafood place one day though! We will definitely have to servce Heinekin and blue moon beer at the place!

[Speaker 2] Definitely! In the meantime, we will have to get together for Mexican food sometime soon!

[Speaker 1] For sure! Whats is your go to at the Mexican restaurant?

[Speaker 2] Definitely fajitas! And I love to have a Mexican Bulldog to drink, have you ever tried one of those?

[Speaker 1] No I have not what is it? I usually just stick to the margarita or a good old Heinenken

[Speaker 2] Oh, then you will love this drink! It's a frozen margarita with a bottle of beer flipped upside down into it. The best of both worlds!

[Speaker 1] Oh my, that is right down my lane, I will have to get one or maybe two when we get some food

[Speaker 2] Or three or four haha! What will you order to eat? I am getting so hungry thinking about it.

[Speaker 1] My favorite snack is god

[Speaker 2] Yo you got some profound words there. You rap??

[Speaker 1] No, I am just a little suburban girl

[Speaker 2] I feel that, I feel that. But you got a favorite rapper tho

[Speaker 1] No I do not listen to rap, it is too hard for my groove

[Speaker 2] You gotta check out yo gotti! He is god in the flesh

[Speaker 1] God shouldn't be treated like that, only dogs

[Speaker 2] I mean I get straight a grades but you are too smart for me!

[Speaker 1] It is cause I've a special car that whispers all the secrets of life to me

[Speaker 2] Tell me more about your special car and life!

I like sushi.

I do not rap. I do not listen to rap.  I am a suburban girl.

I own a car.

I believe in God.
I am in school.
I get straight As.

[Speaker 1] What classes are you taking in school?

[Speaker 2] I am focusing on Accounting, but also have to take some classes like English and Humanities to get my degree.

[Speaker 1] That makes sense. They do want everybody to have a well ronuded education. Personally I'm planning on taking a class on prepearing sushi, which is my favorite food, next semester!

[Speaker 2] Are you in a culinary school?  Sushi making classes sound fun.  I can't imagine how hard it is to make the rolls look perfect.

[Speaker 1] No, I'm taking courses at the community college. But they do offer interesting things like cooking classes. I've learned a lot about nutrition through them.

[Speaker 2] What other types of things have you learned to cook?

[Speaker 1] All kind of meats like chicken and beef. I want to get a home grill but I've been having difficulty finding one that I could fit in my car for transportation.

[Speaker 2] Maybe you can order one online to get it delivered quickly.  I am planning to go to church this morning.  God is very helpful to me in my goal to get Straight As.

[Speaker 1] I'll probably have to do that. I just was hoping to save on the delivery fees. I hope you're able to enjoy your time at church today.

[Speaker 2] Are there a lot of churches in your suburb?

[Speaker 1] Not really. It's quite a long drive to the closest one. I never attended church regularly anyway so it doesn't matter too much to me.

[Speaker 2] They don't play rap music at church.  You should give it a try.

I own a car.

I like sushi and I'm planning to take classes on how to prepare it.

I want to get a home grill.

I don't attend church on a regular basis.

I am in school. I get straight As. I am taking accounting classes but will need to take English and Humanities.

I go to church. I believe in God and I believe God is helpful to me.

[Speaker 1] What did you think about the church service this morning?

[Speaker 2] I didn't actually go this morning. Needed to sleep in.

[Speaker 1] Wow! Were you really tired? Do you think you'll go to church later?

[Speaker 2] Probably will. I've got an accounting midterm to study for. So It'll depend on how much work I get done. You taking any classes right now?

[Speaker 1] I am taking an investing class right now, I am trying to learn technical and candlestick analysis. It's an online class and I hope to learn enough to start day trading a bit. Have you ever traded in the stock market?

[Speaker 2] I'm pretty risk averse, so I just stick with my mutual fund. Slow and steady wins the race I say. You aren't worried about losing money?

[Speaker 1] No I'm not worried at all. Historically the stock market has done better than any savings account. I do have a mutual fund as well but it's not growing nearly as quick as my other investments. It's a matter of personal preference I think... and risk management!

[Speaker 2] But doesn't trading individual stocks mean you risk a lot more about them going up and down in the short term?

[Speaker 1] Yes, but there are ways to trade to make money even when stocks go down. Have you heard of stock options? Calls and puts? That's what I'm trying to learn in this course. There is money to be made no matter what happens in the stock market!

[Speaker 2] No offense, but I think the money is being made by the big guns. Those reddit adventures only come around once every few years.

[Speaker 1] Yes, reddit and twitter, and even tiktok are a big part of investing now a days, it's completely different. I made my money with some of the reddit stocks and got out quickly because I was afraid they would not hold for much longer. Maybe you are better off with mutual funds haha.

[Speaker 2] Well, part of it is I'm very risk averse, hence all the accounting classes. I always rooted for the tortoise against that pesky hare.

[Speaker 1] I like to gamble and talk on the phone

[Speaker 2] That sounds fun. I do not go out much because of my allergies.

[Speaker 1] What a shame about your allergies I love hiking outdoors

[Speaker 2] I am trying to get them controlled. What do you do for work?

[Speaker 1] I'm bilingual so I translate spanish for a living. How about you

[Speaker 2] I work in production making commercials. I really love my job!

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a lot of fun. Do you like to cook?

[Speaker 2] No not since by dad died back in high school.

[Speaker 1] Ouch. You have a lot of problems. I gamble way too much.

[Speaker 2] Do you often win or lose?

[Speaker 1] I think I lose too much. Winning wouldn't be a problem right?

[Speaker 2] Casinos are not built on your winnings, that's for sure.

I love hiking.

I am a translator.

I enjoy watching movies and TV.
I have a lot of allergies.
I work in commercial production.
I do not like to cook.

[Speaker 1] Have you watched any good TV shows lately?

[Speaker 2] I recently watched The Leftovers. Have you seen it? It is like nothing I have ever seen. I was blown away. I watched all 3 seasons in 2 days.

[Speaker 1] I watched the first season and I did like it but just didn't keep up with it. I will try to watch it this week. I actually saw an ad for it while I was at the casino yesterday.

[Speaker 2] Please watch it. I had to push through at first, but it is amazing. It is depressing, but it is worth it. Did you win anything yesterday?

[Speaker 1] I didn't. I put $50 in and was able to win it back but I was there for a couple hours. How is work going?

[Speaker 2] What games were you playing? Do you usually win? Work has been sort of chaotic and stressful.

[Speaker 1] I usually play roulette and the slots. Yesterday I just played the slots.  I don't always win. What do you do to de-stress?

[Speaker 2] Watching tv is a good way for me to unwind and relax, even though I always seem to watch dark stuff. I also like to light incense and candles and meditate.

[Speaker 1] I like to hike to de-stress. What is your favorite candle smell?

[Speaker 2] Hiking is also a good way to de-stress. It is peaceful to be out in nature. With all my allergies, sometimes even smells bother me, so I have to be careful with which candles I choose. I really like amber and woodsy scents.

[Speaker 1] That makes sense that you have to be careful .I also enjoy amber and woodsy scents. Hiking is definitely peaceful. I love hiking in green areas.

[Speaker 2] Me too. There are some great forests near my house that I like to hike in. It is especially awesome looking in the fall.

I like to talk on the phone.

I love hiking. I like the smell of amber and the woods.

I am a translator.

I like to gamble.  I recently went to a casino. I gamble on roulette and the slots.

I have a lot of allergies.

I work in commercial production. My work has been stressful and chaotic.

I do not like to cook.

I like the television show "The Leftovers.".

I like to relax by watching television, meditation, and light candles and incense to help me relax.

I live in a house near forests.  I like the smell of amber and the woods.

[Speaker 1] I can't decide this weekend whether to go to the casinos, or go out for a hike. The weather forecast says that it is going to be beautiful weather.

[Speaker 2] I'm not a huge gambler, so I would definitely recommend a hike!  Especially if it's going to be great weather, you should take advantage of it!

[Speaker 1] Yes, I believe when there is a nice breeze that sure can help on a good hike. But, I sure do love to hit the casinos too, so it's a toss up. Maybe you can go on a hike with me? Is there good hiking near your home?

[Speaker 2] Yes definitely, there's a great forest by my place that I love to explore.  And yeah not knocking casinos, I do enjoy the occasional game of poker, but with most of the games I don't like leaving so much up to luck I suppose.

[Speaker 1] We should do go hiking. Could I convince you to cook me a good meal? I know you love to cook.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I'd love to hike sometime!  But I'm sorry I'm not sure you'd want my food haha, I've tried to get into cooking but I just can't wrap my head around it.  Maybe my wife could whip something up for us.

[Speaker 1] Well, I thought if I offered you a little encouragement you may give it a go. I don't love the cooking myself though, so I get it. Have you been watching your show, "The Leftovers"?

[Speaker 2] Yes I have!  Been really getting into it lately, it's so compelling.  Have you seen any of it?

[Speaker 1] I don't watch it too much, between my hiking and casino trips. Anything exciting happening in it?

[Speaker 2] Well I wouldn't want to spoil anything for you if you're still getting into it.  How's your translation work going lately?

[Speaker 1] It can be quite difficult at times, but it is very fulfilling. Have you ever thought about doing it?

[Speaker 2] I have, I know a little spanish but I'm not sure I know enough to support that career.  Anything would be better than my current job though, so maybe I'll look into it.


My favorite show is csi.

I once swam with manta rays.

I hate winter and the cold.

I would like to work for the smithsonian.

My parents are lawyers.

My mother is a teacher.
I cook well.
I can speak three languages.
I like to bike.
I love being in nature.

I like to watch tv programs that depict crime investigations.

One of my favorite memories is swimming with some ocean creatures.

I prefer summer over all the other seasons.

I love going to the museum.

My mom and dad are both attorneys.

I learned to read very early.
I am really good in the kitchen.
I like to travel.
I enjoy cycling.
I like outdoors.

[Speaker 1] Hi. Do you watch television shows like csi?

[Speaker 2] Yes, but not csi specifically

[Speaker 1] Since I don't like cold long winters, I enjoy watching television.

[Speaker 2] I prefer criminal minds. Cold winters, are you north?

[Speaker 1] Yes and I would rather be in a warm place swimming with manta rays.

[Speaker 2] I agree! Instead I spend my winter cooking up a storm to stay warm

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

[Speaker 2] I am a teacher, just like my mother was. You?

[Speaker 1] I am a lawyer, just like my parents both are.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that's impressive. What type of law do you practice?

[Speaker 1] General but some days I wish I worked at the smithsonian.

[Speaker 2] Ah, an art lover! What do you do for fun?

[Speaker 1] Besides swimming, I like to go out boating. You?

[Speaker 2] Same here, but throw in biking. Anything outdoors or on the water.

I don't like cold long winters.

I am a lawyer. I practice general law.  I wish I worked at the Smithsonian.

I like to go boating.   I enjoy watching television.

I prefer Criminal Minds.

I am a teacher.

I like to go boating and biking. I like to do anything outdoors or on the water.

[Speaker 1] I was busy this past week helping clients make their wills.

[Speaker 2] That sounds both depressing and rewarding.  I was busy making lesson plans about health and exercise.

[Speaker 1] I find it rewarding to help people make sure their assets will be well used after they're no longer here. Since I practice general law I really don't deal with wills too much. What sort of exercise lessons are you teaching?

[Speaker 2] I am trying to teach my third graders that even when it is winter they can get exercise.  I teach them about fun things they can do in the snow or indoors.

[Speaker 1] Oh that's fun! You know how much I hate the winters. I'd love to be more active during these long winters but I only like summer sports.

[Speaker 2] Perhaps you can incorporate your love of television into exercise.  Maybe you can get an exercise bike or treadmill and put it in front of the tv.  I watch Criminal Minds while I run a few miles.

[Speaker 1] I've done that at the gym ocassionaly and it is kind of fun. But I guess you just can't do things like swimming in the ocean with manta rays in front of the TV. It just never can feel real enough for me.

[Speaker 2] That is true.  Have you thought about moving your practice to Florida?

[Speaker 1] I've fantasized about it but it just doesn't seem practical having to get licensed down there and then finding new clients. Plus I don't want to abandon my clients here so i'd have to maintain my this license as well.

[Speaker 2] Good point.  Maybe you can move after retirement.  There certainly aren't any manta rays in the north, so if you must travel a lot.

[Speaker 1] Yes, any vacation I always rent a boat and sail around for a while. It's so relaxing. I do go to tons of aquariums so I can feel some connection to the ocean even in this climate. Looking into retirement homes down there does sound like a great idea!

[Speaker 2] I think if I move to a warmer climate, I would stop cooking as much in the winter and it is something I really enjoy doing.

I don't like cold long winters. I like summer sports.

I live in the north.  I'd rather swim with Manta Rays where it's warm. I enjoy sailing vacations. I visit many aquariums.

I like to go boating, watching television.

I love watching TV. I go to a gym. I like swimming.

I watch television shows that are similar to CSI. I prefer Criminal Minds.

I live in a cool climate. I enjoy cooking in the winter. I stay warm in the winter by cooking up a storm.

I am a teacher. I teach third grade.

I run on a treadmill.

[Speaker 1] What kinds of dishes do you cook in the winter? I'm always looking for new ideas.

[Speaker 2] Where to start? I love fixing soups and chilis in the winter. They're great for crock pots, and they help warm everyone up. Are you looking for stuff for breakfast, lunch, or dinner?

[Speaker 1] That dinner stuff sounds awesome! I like the idea of a crock pot. Just set it and forget it, right?

[Speaker 2] Exactly! I know a really good recipe for a pork based vegetable soup. It's a Cuban recipe from a friend in Florida. I feel like that might be right up your alley when there's 2 feet of snow outside.

[Speaker 1] Oh DEFINITELY. Nothing like a hearty bowl of soup when I come in from shoveling. What did you get up to for the rest of the day?

[Speaker 2] I ended up putting a pork roast in the crock pot for dinner, and got caught up with the last few episodes of Criminal minds that I had recorded. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I worked out to try and destress. Work has been crazy lately. You'd have been proud of me, I hit a new personal best on the treadmill!

[Speaker 2] Congrats! You're gonna' need to put that treadmill to use more if you let me cook for you. I tend to pack on the pounds during winter, and we'll need our boat bodies ready when it warms up.

[Speaker 1] Haha! That seems like an extremely good deal to me. I get all of the benefits while still being able to correctly claim that I go to the gym!

[Speaker 2] There are some dishes I fix that are much easier on the hips. I've gotten pretty good at cooking good meals to serve as fuel for the treadmill.

[Speaker 1] Perfect. And if there's any simple recipes and particular crock pot models you'd recommend let me know, so I can practice at home!

[Speaker 2] Do you already own a roasting pan and baking sheet?

I go to a gym. I like swimming.

I want to learn new recipes to cook. I want a crock pot.

It snows where I live in the winter.

I work out to help with stress. I workout on a treadmill .

I live in a cool climate. I stay warm in the winter by cooking up a storm.

I am a teacher. I teach third grade.

I run on a treadmill.

I love to cook soup in the winter. I like cooking with a crock pot.

I have a friend in Florida.

I gain a little extra weight during the winter. I know how to cook healthy meals.

[Speaker 1] The UPS driver dropped off my new crock pot I ordered!

[Speaker 2] Love that! What color is it?

[Speaker 1] Green... I am glad i have the pot delivererd soon. Will you please send me the recipe I can start practising new meals cooking

[Speaker 2] I don't really have an recipes up my sleeve, what are you planning to cook in the crock pot? I'd reccommend chilli

[Speaker 1] I got no plans just want to learn... teach me how to go about  cooking chili

[Speaker 2] You just need the basics red kidney beans, I go with turkey beef because it is healthier and chili powder

[Speaker 1] Thats better I love turkey beef. how long do I need to cook it and any other specialty to add

[Speaker 2] No other special things to add, in the crock pot I'd just let it simmer for 4-6 hours and then enjoy. You can even workout while it cooks

[Speaker 1] That sound right for me. I am surely going to give you report how it goes by evening time

[Speaker 2] Thanks I'd appreciate that! Just remember if it doesn't turn out perfect it is only your first time making it

[Speaker 1] I hope it doesnt mess my first time up... lol . thanks for your tips i do appreciate

[Speaker 2] Any time! I also reccommend making buffalo chicken dip in the crock pot as well!

[Speaker 1] I just got back from the animal shelter. I wanted to see if I could find a dog that would be a good fit for me.

[Speaker 2] I never had a pet before. Is it a lot of work taking care of one?

[Speaker 1] Yes, taking care of a dog is so much work! But it's also really rewarding. My biggest fear is that the new dog won't get along with the dog I currently have.

[Speaker 2] What kind of breed is your current dog?

[Speaker 1] She's a golden retriver. She's five years old and is the friendliest dog that I've ever met. Still it can be hard introducing a new dog.

[Speaker 2] Do you have any pet-loing friends that has ore than one dog? Maybe they can give you advice.

[Speaker 1] Well anyone else I know that owns dogs adopted them together. I've watched a lot of videos on introducing new dogs and think it should work. But it just has to be done slowly.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it looks like you need to be careful when picking your new dog. Having two dogs fighting in your home could easily turn deadly.

[Speaker 1] I don't know that it'd turn deadly. But it could get expensive to have to replace all of my furniture when I didn't even have the money to buy it in the first place. And worse could destroy some of my matchstick houses that I've spent hours working on!

[Speaker 2] I would be livid if that happens. One of the reasons I haven't gotten a pet yet.

[Speaker 1] That's understandable. It's why I was so nervous about getting pets in the first place. But everything did seem to work out and she really hasn't caused any issues.

[Speaker 2] Seems the emotional support pets bring was worth the risk.

I already own a 5 year old golden retriever and want another dog that will get along with my current dog.

My dog is very friendly. I am worried that having multiple dogs will damage my furniture.  I also worry they will destroy the matchstick houses I make as a hobby.

I've never owned a pet. I currently have no intention to adopt a pet.

[Speaker 1] I just got back from another shelter and I think I may have found another dog to adopt!  She is about the size and age of my current dog and has the sweetest disposition.  I can't stop thinking about her.

[Speaker 2] That's wonderful! Are you able to bring your dog to meet her before you adopt? What type of dog is she?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I am bring Dexter with me to meet her. I'm glad she's around the same age, I think the two of them will tire themselves out. I just hope they aren't destructive while doing so.

[Speaker 2] Great! Hopefully they'll be fast friends. As long as you keep your matchstick houses out of reach and make sure they get lots of exercise you should be okay.

[Speaker 1] Here's hoping. Have you heard any good songs/bands lately? I feel like a lot of what I hear on the radio all sounds the same.

[Speaker 2] I agree. I'm not a fan of much contemporary music. I prefer listening to classic rock bands. Nobody these days can compare to Queen and the Beatles

[Speaker 1] Ah! I love Queen and Freddy Mercury. Such talent. I also really enjoy the Rolling Stones. What's your favorite band of all time?

[Speaker 2] I'm a huge Fleetwood Mac fan. I saw them in concert a few years ago and they were amazing! I also love Prince and wish I could've seen him in concert

[Speaker 1] There's something so haunting about Stevie Nicks' voice. Dreams is one of my favorite songs by them. I happened to see her about two years ago. One of my most memorable concerts. Do you have tickets to any upcoming concerts?

[Speaker 2] In a few weeks I'm going to see Jay-Z and Beyonce on tour. I've heard they do an amazing show together

[Speaker 1] That sounds fun! Where are you seeing them? I was once at a Linkin Park show at Madison Square Garden in NYC and Jay-Z came out and sung with them. The crowd went wild.

[Speaker 2] That sounds amazing! We're seeing them at Red Rocks. I'm excited to see a concert there; I always love an outdoor venue but have never been.

[Speaker 1] Dexter trampled some of my matchstick houses.  Perhaps that hobby does not mix with being a dog owner, maybe I should pursue another interest.

[Speaker 2] or you could train your dog!

[Speaker 1] It has been a while since you travelled. Are you planning to travel soon?

[Speaker 2] hopefully, there are many countries i would like to visit. and many concerts in those countries

[Speaker 1] I bet there are! What countries are you interested in visiting and what concert groups are you interested in?

[Speaker 2] i would love to see the killers and visit new zealand

[Speaker 1] I have been to New Zealand. It is awesome, particularly the hot springs and geysers there.

[Speaker 2] when did  you go? i will go when i have the money

[Speaker 1] A long time ago - in the late 90's. It wasn't as expensive to fly then as it is now.

[Speaker 2] yes it costs a lot now i will need to work for a long time

[Speaker 1] We also visited Australia on that same trip.

[Speaker 2] would you reccomend that i visit? they are very cose
