[Speaker 2] Waffles! Yummy! I even made some for my three special doggies.

[Speaker 1] Cool. What is you favorite color april? Mine is green

[Speaker 2] Turquoise. I love it! Its got some green in it.

[Speaker 1] That's a pretty color! I know I

[Speaker 2] I am also thinking of building my own house since I am and architect.

[Speaker 1] That is a great career, mine is mcdonald, nothing special like yours

[Speaker 2] Well, micky ds has a lot of college programs you should try to apply

[Speaker 1] Yeah I should, maybe I should apply for basketball career

[Speaker 2] Well, if your in high school train hard you could just get drafted into a college.

[Speaker 1] Very true! Well I have to get going

[Speaker 2] No problem, best of luck!

My name is Gerald.
My favorite color is green.
I work at McDonalds.
I like basketball.

My name is April.

I have three dogs.

My favorite color is turquoise.

[Speaker 1] Did you get around to building that new house yet?

[Speaker 2] Not yet, still working on the design. It's in progress though. Have you played much basketball since we last spoke?

[Speaker 1] That's great ! you must be enjoying the basketball now.  Are you planning to color any area with turquoise in your new house?

[Speaker 2] Probably will be colouring a few of the walls turquoise, yes! Do you have any colour suggestions for the exterior?

[Speaker 1] For exterior I like bricks in brick color. Do you plan the space for your dogs?

[Speaker 2] I am planning to have a large garden for the dogs, yes. Hopefully I should be able to have enough room for all 3. How has work been going for you at McDonalds?

[Speaker 1] I am very busy at McDonalds. I love to work there. Everyday I see and meet new people and new experience. When I come back home I feel lonely. planning to get a dog. Can you suggest me the good one?

[Speaker 2] Good to hear, is it very busy at the moment? If you work a lot you may want a dog that is quite independent like an Akita or a Shiba Inu, they can take care of themselves a little better than smaller dogs.

My name is Gerald.

My favorite color is green.

I work at McDonalds.

I like basketball.

I like exterior bricks on homes.

I plan to get a dog. I suffer from loneliness sometimes.

My name is April.

I have 3 dogs.

My favorite color is turquoise.

I am an architect. I want to build my own house. I am designing a house. I will paint a few walls turquoise.

[Speaker 1] I really do need to get a dog. It's so boring sitting here by myself.

[Speaker 2] There is nothing like a dog (or 3) to take away loneliness.  My dogs keep me in such good company.  Do you want me to keep my ears open in case anyone has any puppies they need to give away?  And the shelter usually has a lot of dogs in various ages.  Mixed breed dogs are usually great in terms of personality and behavior.

[Speaker 1] That would be great, though I'd prefer an adult dog rather than a puppy, so I wouldn't have to housetrain it.

[Speaker 2] The the animal shelter is probably your best bet.  All of my pets have been adopted or strays.  Hey, why don't you come over this weekend and visit?  You can be around my dogs and maybe that will help you decide about getting a dog.  We can play HORSE or a pickup game with some of my neighbors, too.

[Speaker 1] I would really like that. I could even bring an McDonald's with me. Do you like big mac or chicken nuggets?

[Speaker 2] Big Mac for sure--I don't like their nuggets.  Why don't you come Saturday around 10--you can spend the night if you want and we can watch some movies and have beers in the evening,

[Speaker 1] I like that plan. I'm looking forward to it.

[Speaker 2] Me too!  Any particular movies you want to watch?  I have Neflix but I also have a bunch of DVDs.  What kind of beer do you like?

[Speaker 1] I like cider, So I bring my own. I'm not sure what genre, but maybe we could watch a new film.

[Speaker 2] That works.  Yeah, I'm open to watching anything.  There's a lot on Netflix I haven't watched yet.  So we're on for Saturday around 10?  Can't wait for you to meet Moe, Larry and Curly (my dogs).

[Speaker 1] Yes, definitely. And maybe we could walk your dogs too?

[Speaker 2] Sure, I'm always up for some exercise and so are the boys!

[Speaker 1] I have been know to throw a good party

[Speaker 2] Thatscool I want to be a wedding planner

[Speaker 1] Thanks great. Mine will be monkey themes

[Speaker 2] Awww that sound so cute

[Speaker 1] Hoping so. I enjoy meeting strangers

[Speaker 2] That's cool I don't it freaks me out

[Speaker 1] I think they're sweet. I wonder if they like honey lie I do

[Speaker 2] Ok that's just a little creepy

[Speaker 1] Like clowns I suppose. You enjoy weddings?

[Speaker 2] Yes I do I'm getting married tuesday

I throw good parties.
I enjoy meeting strangers.
I like honey.

I want to be a wedding planner. I enjoy weddings. I just got married.

I don't like meeting strangers.

[Speaker 1] How did your wedding go?

[Speaker 2] It was the most magical day of my life so far, and the reception was a party even you might be jealous of. Go to any good parties lately?

[Speaker 1] No good parties lately, I'm afraid. Been mostly keeping to myself. How is work?

[Speaker 2] Not so great, I was working at a florist so I could get more experience to become a wedding planner one day but all the bouquets for funerals kept bumming me out. I told one person that it seemed a waste to be putting flowers at a gravestone and they fired me. Can you believe that?

[Speaker 1] That's crazy! Some people are so stuck up. I work at a retail store and I've had annoying bosses like that too.

[Speaker 2] I am sure you understand then. Like they want your opinion until suddenly its telling them that gram gram won't enjoy those roses and they will just wilt away like she did. Where do you work?

[Speaker 1] I work at a large retail store. It's brutal hours given the pay. I'm looking for a better job for sure.

[Speaker 2] Hopefully you find something more your style. Where would you like to work?

[Speaker 1] I want to be a lawyer! It'll take a lot of studying though. But it'll be worth it.

[Speaker 2] Lawyer does sound awesome, and I hear they like to party hard as well if you know what I mean. What kind of law would you want to practice?

[Speaker 1] Copyright law, since it's a growing field. Some people might hate me for that, but oh well!

[Speaker 2] Not hate you but I was hoping you would say something like environmental law or something got to keep those bees alive long enough to make the honey. So you just want to practice law to make money?

I like honey.

I work in retail but am looking for other job opportunites. I am interested in becoming a copyright lawyer.

I don't like meeting strangers.

[Speaker 1] I just got accepted into college to start working towards my law degree!

[Speaker 2] Very nice! How soon do you start?

[Speaker 1] I am not starting until next fall, which gives me plenty of time to prepare! Have you taken any steps to start wedding planning?

[Speaker 2] I have talked to a few people about it. What I'm thinking at the moment is find a wedding planner that need help and work with them. What do you think? I'm not really sure how to peruse it.

[Speaker 1] That is a great idea!! Sort of like an apprenticeship! I think you'd be great at that! Do you have a portfolio you could show them?

[Speaker 2] What I have is from my wedding planing mainly. Looking back at it in hindsight I'm adding to the notes. So, yes, I have one started I guess!

[Speaker 1] That is a great thing to show people you are potentially working with! I didn't know you planned your own wedding. That's very cool! Is that how you decided you wanted to be a wedding planner?

[Speaker 2] I suspected it before, but my wedding confirmed it. I did have help. It would have been to much to plan everything and be in it. The best part would be meeting new groups of people with every job.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I thought you didn't like meeting strangers! Are you trying to learn to get better at it and like it which is why it would be the best part?

[Speaker 2] In general I do have issues with it. But I found that when it was my job and I had a goal it was easier for me. Am I crazy?

[Speaker 1] No that's not crazy at all! I think that's very common. To do things for work that you might not be able to do in your personal life. It's great that you can grow like that! Will you plan my next party? That's kind of like a wedding.

[Speaker 2] Sure. Sounds like fun, and practice, to me! Ever use web applications to organize an event?

[Speaker 1] Hello, I just got out of work. How are you?

[Speaker 2] Me too, I hate my job I do computer work.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I enjoy my job, but I get tired of smelling pizza.

[Speaker 2] Me too, I hate my job I do computer work.

[Speaker 1] What do you do on the computer?

[Speaker 2] But pizza is amazing! Technically stuff

[Speaker 1] Oh well if you were a waiter serving pizza everyday, you would be tired of it.

[Speaker 2] Most of the time I spend is with my dog, he is my best friend

[Speaker 1] That's nice. I don't have pets, so I spend free time riding bike.

[Speaker 2] So no I'm just getting ready to drink some chai tea, do you like?

[Speaker 1] I like chai tea! I am drinking a margarita though!

[Speaker 2] Nice, I like to drink when I can

[Speaker 1] I don't drink often. I'm not married though and need to relax.

[Speaker 2] Yea, I agree I drink wine every night but just one glass.

I work at a pizza place.

I'm a waiter.

I don't have any pets. I like to ride my bike.

I like chai tea and margaritas.

I do computer work. I hate my job.
I have a dog.
I like chai tea.
I drink a glass of wine every night.

[Speaker 1] How is your dog? I wish I had a pet.

[Speaker 2] My dog is doing well, thanks. How about your job as a waiter is that going well?

[Speaker 1] Glad to hear it! And yeah it's going okay, yesterday I had a bad experience with a customer though

[Speaker 2] It's terrible when customers are rude! What happened?

[Speaker 1] They were angry for no reason even though I was polite to them, and they kept yelling at me when I wasn't fast enough, which just made me even more nervous

[Speaker 2] I think some people just get their own frustrations about their lives out on customer service people, it's disgraceful. Did they leave a tip?

[Speaker 1] No, but at least it's over now. I always feel so bad when people are mad at me but I'll try not to take it personally

[Speaker 2] You really shouldn't, if somebody acts like that it's about them not you. Did your boss side with you about the situation?

[Speaker 1] He wasn't even around to see it and I'm not sure if he would've done something even if he was there

I like to ride my bike.

I like chai tea and margaritas.

I'm not married.

I don't have any pets.

[Speaker 1] I got a call of my boss the customer that yelled at me rang him to complain about me.

[Speaker 2] Oh man, customers are rotten! What did your boss say to you?

[Speaker 1] He said that it happens from time to time and you can't please everybody and that I should carry on with a smile delivering the finest pizza's in the tri-county area.  I live in Newark, NJ.

[Speaker 2] You have an exceptional boss! Have you worked there long?

[Speaker 1] It's been about 20 years I've been serving pies now, this complaint it like water off a ducks back, nothing could get between us.  Anyway, what am I suppose to do?  The shop is busy.

[Speaker 2] I need to find a job that I respect and like like you do.

[Speaker 1] It's hard to hate a job where you're surrounded by the sweet sweet aroma of a good pizza pie all day.  Maybe I can put a word in for you?  You'd have to start in slinging dough, wait staff is only after some time.  We want to make sure we represent the business kindly to the public.

[Speaker 2] I would be glad to try it! Thank you.

[Speaker 1] Hey, it's nothing, least I could do for a friend.  Are you tired of working on cars these days?

[Speaker 2] I'm miserable at my job. You seem so happy, I do love pizza. I'm beyond ready to try something new. Thanks pal!

[Speaker 1] Hey, no problem.  Anyway, it's all you can eat here at the shop.  Have you been out surfing recently?

[Speaker 2] Yes! I caught some nice waves and beautiful sunset to boot. How bout you?

I am a waiter at a pizza place. I got yelled at by a customer because they thought I wasn't fast enough. I've worked as a pizza delivery person for 20 years.

I like to ride my bike.

I like chai tea and margaritas.

I'm not married.

I don't have any pets.

I live in Newark, NJ.

I do computer work. I hate my job. I want a new job. I work on cars.

I have a dog.

I like surfing.

[Speaker 1] There is a job opening at the pizza place!

[Speaker 2] Oh I bet that's a fun job. Do you like interacting with all of the customers?

[Speaker 1] Most of the time it's not that bad. Only occasionally there's a customer that's mean or having a bad day.  But I generally just ignore them when they are nasty.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like good advice. So what position is the job opening for?

[Speaker 1] The position is a line cook.  It's not as glamorous as sitting in an office, but the pay is decent, and you don't have to deal with customers, which is a bonus!! If you still hate your job, it might be worth considering.

[Speaker 2] I will definitely think about that; thanks for the tip! maybe we can go out for drinks and you can tell me a little more about the company. I know a bar that makes great margaritas.

[Speaker 1] That would be awesome! I love great margaritas!! Heck, I like them even when they're just average margaritas!! haha!  Maybe we can get together this weekend.

[Speaker 2] haha I know what you mean. Lets plan on it. The bar is right there in Newark so it'll be convenient for us both. Who serves your favorite chai tea?

[Speaker 1] There's this cute little cafe in town that makes a great chai tea.  I can't remember the name of it, but it's right in the middle of town across from the statue.  They always have live music on Friday nights.  It's a fun time.

[Speaker 2] I love going to hear live music. My favorite chai spot is Harvest Table. let me know if you're able to remember the name of yours; I'd love to try it sometime!

[Speaker 1] I think I have been to Harvest Table!   Have you tried their vegetarian chili?   It is to die for!!

[Speaker 2] Oh I know, it's so good! I really like the aztec salad. It's got the right amount of heat and spice for me, it's so delicious.


My family is poor.
I practice yoga and hike.
I'm obsessed with animals.
I love the natural world beauty.
I believe in fairytales.

I'm training to be a welder.

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

I like watching action adventure movies and eating popcorn.

I love riding roller coasters.

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

I come from a lower class household.

I like healthy activities.

I love dogs.

I enjoy nature.

I give credence to made up stories, choosing to accept that there's truth within them.

I am learning to weld.

I had a rocky childhood.

I love salty snacks in front of a large screen.

I'm a thrill seeker.

I like to work with my hands.

[Speaker 1] Person I come from a poor family who loves nature and beauty, and have faith in fairytales

[Speaker 2] I can relate. I was raised in a one parent household

[Speaker 1] Being poor I learned that yoga helps ease the mind, so I practice and hike.

[Speaker 2] I harnessed my shortcomings by learning welding. Its relaxing

[Speaker 1] Me too. And I love animals and am obsessed with them like really love them ya know

[Speaker 2] I'm more of a roller coaster junkie!!

[Speaker 1] Don't you wish the animals would become more human? Like in fairytales, so I can love them

[Speaker 2] I wish life was more like an action movie. I love that genre!

[Speaker 1] I cannot get off the animals, I am obsessed. My keeps telling me to get off them.

[Speaker 2] That is certainly different, I will give you that

[Speaker 1] I just love them animals so much it hurts me sometimes.

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

I do yoga and hike.

I love animals.

I was raised in a one parent household
I learned welding.
I like roller coasrers.
I like action movies.

[Speaker 1] Hey there, I went on a great walk today and saw some deer and even a bunny. I just sat and stared at them and really feel so connected with nature right now, it's definitely been a good day.

[Speaker 2] Hi that sounds great. I just finished watching the new X-men movie. Have you watched it?

[Speaker 1] I have not seen it yet.  Could you tell me more about X-men? I am not sure if I would like it.

[Speaker 2] It's great! Are you into action movies or do you prefer fairytales? It is about a group of mutant humans with special powers.

[Speaker 1] I do prefer fairytales but I think science fiction movies can offer similar entertainment.  That sounds cool I might have to check it out.  Why do you think you like action movies?

[Speaker 2] That's cool. I like sci-fi too. I would definitely recommend watching it! And I guess it's because there is always something exciting happening that makes life seem less boring. Have you got any film recommendations?

[Speaker 1] If you like action movies, you would love Chronicles of Narnia, have you ever seen it?  It is a fairytale, with beautiful fantastical creations, mixed with drama and action.

[Speaker 2] Yes I love that film. My favourite character is Aslan, who is your favourite?

[Speaker 1] Me too! although I like all of the animals.  There is something so beautiful about animals and creatures, but then so sad when they all fought in the battles!

[Speaker 2] Yes it was very sad when Aslan nearly died, a good surprise when he came back though. I heard they are making a new Chronicles of Narnia movie, or maybe a TV series.

[Speaker 1] That would be really awesome.  I think that TV series like Game of Thrones are almost like extended movies if that makes sense.  It gives you the ability to really explore the beauty and magic within the universe without having to go to a movie theater or wait a year for a new film to release.

[Speaker 2] I love Game of Thrones! I thought the previous season was terrible though. I hear there is a sequel coming which should be good. I especially like the dragons.

I come from a poor family. I love nature, beauty and fairytales. I do yoga and hike. I like walking.

I love animals.

I prefer fairytales over action movies. I like science fiction movies.

I like Chronicles of Narnia. I like Aslan from Chronicles of Narnia.

I was raised in a one parent household.

I learned welding.

I like roller coasrers.

I like action movies. I like X-men. I like science fiction movies. I think real life is boring.

I like surprises.

[Speaker 1] I just watched the new X-men movie.

[Speaker 2] Oh I haven't seen it yet so no spoilers please! What did you think though, good or bad?

[Speaker 1] No worries, no spoilers. I quite liked it but I don't think it was as good as the first movies. Are you planning to watch it soon?

[Speaker 2] Well now I don't know. I don't want to be disappointed. There's so many great movies out there, why watch the ones that are just okay, ya know?

[Speaker 1] Hmmm, you are probably right. But if you liked the other X-men movies then you will probably enjoy this one as well. If you don't give it a chance you will never know. Did you see any good movies you could recommend?

[Speaker 2] I saw Drug War a few days ago, I highly recommend!

[Speaker 1] Ok, I haven't seen this movie, is it action movie?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I looked up what free youtube movies had the highest rotten tomatoes score and looked for action movies, that's how I found it.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I have never looked for movies this way. Thanks for the tip. I will try to find it on YouYube tonight. Do you like reading science fiction books as well or just watching the movies?

[Speaker 2] Well there's Frankenstein, I love that book. Mary Shelley created the whole genre with it. Have you read it?

[Speaker 1] Yes I did of course. What a great book. I have read it when I was about 12 or 13. I have to admit I was a bit scared some nights when I was reading it haha

[Speaker 2] I love how the monster isn't the horrible one. I guess there's a theme there that's common with X-men. It's never necessarily the "new" or "different' folks that are the evil ones.

I love animals.

I like Game of Thrones. I like shows based off of books. I prefer television to movie theaters. I liked the X-men movie but not as much as the first movies.

I have not used youtube movies.

I read Frankenstein when I was 12 or 13. I was scared by the book.

I was raised in a one parent household.

I learned welding.

I like roller coasrers.

I like action movies. I like X-men. I have not seen the new X-men movie. I like science fiction movies. I think real life is boring. My favourite character from Chronicles of Narnia is Aslan. I love Game of Thrones. I did not like the last season of Game of Thrones. I like dragons.

I like surprises.

I like the Drug War movie.

I enjoyed reading Frankenstein. I enjoy that the monster isn't portrayed poorly.

[Speaker 1] After thinking more about that book, I don't quite see how Frankenstein was not the monster. Could you elaborate on why you think that?

[Speaker 2] Well, I think the confusion is that most people think the monster is named Frankenstein but he's not. He's a creature made BY Dr Frankenstein. The creature is not the monster; the doctor is.

[Speaker 1] Oh, that's right. Now that you mention that I do recall my teacher telling us that back in middle school. Wow, it has been a long time since I read the book. Are you reading anything good these days?

[Speaker 2] I just picked up Ready Player 2 but I'm not too far into it yet. I don't think it's as good as Ready Player 1, which was an excellent read. The movie was not as good as the book.

[Speaker 1] Hopefully, Ready Player 2 will pick up soon and the rest will be as good as the first.

[Speaker 2] I hope so! What about you? Binging anything noteworthy on Netflix that I should check out?

[Speaker 1] I'm kind of lost with Netflix these days.  The last thing I enjoyed was The Queen's Gambit and that was quite a while ago.  Yesterday a woman mentioned to me that I should check out a show on HBO called Mare something?  She got hooked on the first episode and binged watched 3 before meeting me to volunteer.

[Speaker 2] Mare of Easttown? I've heard a little bit about it but I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Have you watched His Dark Materials yet? It's also on HBO, it was much closer to the books than the Golden Compass movie they made years ago

[Speaker 1] That's it!  I often only remember part of the title which makes searching interesting.  ha ha We cancelled our HBO a couple of years ago, but have recently been discussing changing our service to include it.

[Speaker 2] We ended up cutting cable and it's definitely been worth it. We just have a few streaming services to cover the things we want to watch the most. I really don't miss having 500 channels of nothing to watch.

[Speaker 1] I kind of agree with you.  Sometimes having so many channels and so many shows to watch begins to feel like an obligation to get through them.

[Speaker 2] Right? I got so tired of just watching the channel guide or scrolling through on-demand. At least with streaming, we don't have to worry about running out of space on the DVR!

[Speaker 1] They are toe chewer breeds, and I love to photograph them every day!

[Speaker 2] Can you send some pictures here?

[Speaker 1] No, the only pictures I need are the tattoos on my arm.

[Speaker 2] Why you need it and how many?

[Speaker 1] I don't understand your line of questioning. Do you have a hobby?

[Speaker 2] I don't have because I am blind

[Speaker 1] Do you have an aid reading this for you?

[Speaker 2] Yes my laptop helps me

[Speaker 1] You should take your social security check and go to the phillipines.

[Speaker 2] Why should I go there?

[Speaker 1] The cost of living is low, and if you are a male, you will do well.

[Speaker 2] Why have you been there?

I have 3 toes. I work in a zoo. I eat six eggs everyday.

I am blind.

I have a laptop.

[Speaker 1] How is work going? Have you looked into the Phillipines?

[Speaker 2] I love working with the animals everyday.  I have not looked into the Phillipines.  Is that where you are from?

[Speaker 1] No, but I went there on vacation once. What is your favorite animal at the zoo?

[Speaker 2] I like the birds.  I am blind so I cannot see them but I love to listen to their calls.  Do you have a favorite animal?

[Speaker 1] Dogs are my favorite animal, but as far as my favorite zoo animal, I'd have to say giraffe. Every time I see a giraffe in person, I'm awe struck.

[Speaker 2] I'm told they have black tongues but are very friendly.  They eat a ton of food daily.  I personally eat six eggs everyday.  How many dogs do you have?

[Speaker 1] I have four, and am considering getting another one. My neighbor's dog is about to have puppies.

[Speaker 2] That's wonderful!  I have one right now, hoping to adopt another soon.  My partner likes to take pictures of our dog and save them on the laptop.  With four dogs you must have a lot of photos.

[Speaker 1] So, so, many dogs pictures, you wouldn't believe it! My dogs are really chill about being photographed, too, so that makes it even more fun! What kind of dog do you have?

[Speaker 2] My dog is a rescue.  We think part daschund part beagle.  How about yours?

[Speaker 1] That's cool! Mine are rescues, too! I have two Puggles (part Beagle part Pug) and two Chugs (part Chihuahua part Pug). The one I'm thinking of getting from my neighbor is a Pomeranian.

[Speaker 2] I love rescues.  They're the best.  I'm glad you don't have any aggressive dogs.  I had one attack me and now I only have 3 toes.

I have four dogs. I like to take pictures of my dogs. All my dogs are rescues.

I've vacationed in the Philippines.

Dogs are my favorite animal. Giraffes are my favorite zoo animal.

I work in a zoo.

I have a laptop.

I'm blind. I like listening to bird calls.

I eat six eggs a day.

I have a dog. My dog is a rescue.

A dog attacked me and now I only have three toes.

[Speaker 1] I took all my dogs to a local dog park earlier.

[Speaker 2] Do they enjoy it there? Do they play with other people's dogs?

[Speaker 1] They do! Well, Benny is shy, he just goes and sits in the shade usually. Well, either he's shy or just lazy lol. But the other three love chasing the other dogs around.

[Speaker 2] My dog doesn't play well with other dogs, and also isn't great with humans. I think he was abused by his previous owners who abandoned him, and never recovered.

[Speaker 1] Oh no, yeah that's rough. Something like that can really stick with a dog. Does he attack other humans, or is he more scared of them?

[Speaker 2] He's more scared, I think, The growls and barks are defensive. I see a lot of animals at the zoo whose apparent aggression is really just fear.

[Speaker 1] Oh that makes sense. It must be terrible to be an animal in a zoo if you're scared of people, since people are basically always around

[Speaker 2] Yes, though modern zoos give them more space so they aren't as close to people. They become less stressed.

[Speaker 1] That's good. That reminds me of a video I saw the other day of a honey badger that always managed to escape from his enclosure. I think he did it more for fun though than actually being scared/stressed. He was a very skilled escape artist!

[Speaker 2] They can be very clever. And they have better senses of hearing and smell than us. I can kind of relate to them in not just leaning on sight all the time, as most humans do.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, I didn't know that was actually a thing. I remember Toph in Avatar the Last Airbender learned to use her other senses from badgermoles, but I didn't realize they took that from actual honeybadgers. Have you seen that show?

[Speaker 2] No, I haven't. Isn't that a martial arts movie, or am I confused about that?

I've vacationed in the Philippines.

I take my dogs to the dog park. I have four dogs.  One is named Benny and is shy (or lazy).

I sympathize with zoo animals. I watch videos about animals.

I like Avatar the Last Airbender.

I work in a zoo.

I have a laptop.

I eat six eggs a day.

I have one dog.  My dog is a rescue dog that doesn't get along well with others.

I have a visual impairment.  I know information about honey badgers. I am not familiar with Avatar the Last Airbender.

[Speaker 1] How do you feel about descriptive video?  I looked at my old Avatar discs and realized that they have a descriptive audio feature.  Would you want to check out a few episodes?

[Speaker 2] Yeah id love too. I love learning about the little things in movies!

[Speaker 1] I really like Avatar the last air bender. Have you seen in?

[Speaker 2] No, i never got into it and now i think theres so much to catch up on!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, it was a good series but was on the long side. Plus each season was like 22 episodes. It was a commitment.

[Speaker 2] We might have to make a few weekends outta this ha

[Speaker 1] Yeah, a lot of weekends! My old room mate got me into it. We would sit around and have a few cocktails and watch the show before we went out. We are not cool.

[Speaker 2] Hey, cocktails are cool with me ha

[Speaker 1] Most people would play drinking games or talk but we would sit around and watch cartoons. We loved it though...

[Speaker 2] Hey time spent doing things that make you happy is not wasted. Hows your pups doing?

[Speaker 1] Good. I think she is a little under the weather but I think overall she is good. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 2] Well my rescue, who helps me get around

[Speaker 1] Not too bad, tell me about yourself?

[Speaker 2] Well, I retired a few years ago, and have focused on my love of baking!

[Speaker 1] Oh that's awesome! I am a vegan and work as an emergency room nurse

[Speaker 2] Ah, I imagine that's pretty stressful. But, must be very rewarding, no?

[Speaker 1] Sometimes, but I like the fast paced work. I also love to read

[Speaker 2] I could never get into it, the only thing I read is recipe books lol

[Speaker 1] That is ok though! Do you like movies? That is my other favorite thing

[Speaker 2] Not particularly, I'm just a boring old lady lol. Any children?

[Speaker 1] Oh I love julia roberts, especially pretty woman yep 7 1 year old girls

[Speaker 2] That's great. Just a 5 year old grandson here. He loves chocolate cake!

[Speaker 1] Smart boy.. I like chocolate cake too

[Speaker 2] Who does not right? Last time I made it the retirement home went nuts!

[Speaker 1] I bet. I am no good at baking. I have a hard time with boxed mixes lol

[Speaker 2] Haha, well, we all have our different talents on this earth, no?

My name is Ree.

I like to work in a fast paced environment. I like reading, movies, chocolate cake.

I'm not good at baking.

My name is Rose.

I read recipe books.

[Speaker 1] Today I found the best vegan cake mix! Did you ever try out being vegan?

[Speaker 2] I've never tried it out no, but I might consider it. Was the recipe nice? I might have to give it a go, I love to bake for my grandson

[Speaker 1] Yes actually it was. with a touch of chocolate. How is your grandson?

[Speaker 2] Oh, I'll have to get the recipe from you next time we see each other. He's doing well, had to take him to A&E the other night, but nothing serious he just had a temperature. Speaking of, how has work been? It was busy when we were there

[Speaker 1] Awww i hope he is okay now? Yes the hospital never has a dull moment, always busy. work is on the go and keeping me busy as usual. Do you cook yourself or you have a help? I mean asides baking which is a hobby for you

[Speaker 2] Not to worry, he's all fine now, just a scare. I'm sure it keeps you on your feet, must be tough to keep up with. A bit of a mix, I tend to do all the baking, but the cooking is split between family. I'm retired though so I do it most days. Do you do most of the cooking at home?

[Speaker 1] Yes i love to cook as opposed to baking lol. it is a hobby for me, but weekends i love to order in or dine out, i guess it is expected after a long week.

[Speaker 2] That's fair, I do love a good takeaway or dinner out on the weekends. What's your favourite dish to make?

[Speaker 1] pasta and grilled fish. I am a lover of fish. Did you find any new recipe book to indulge in?

[Speaker 2] Ah that does sound nice- I thought you were vegan though? I've been trying out some vegetarian recipes lately, I've found a nice once by Jamie Oliver for some mince and dumplings, I'll have to save you a portion

[Speaker 1] Yes i am. Once in a while i like to indulge. i have always love pasta and fish. Oh please do save me some, that will be nice, im flexible, lol. hope you get to take a walk out of the house sometime?

[Speaker 2] That's fair, a change in diet once in a while is good for everyone. I'll be sure to! Hopefully I should be able to get out the next few days, I'm thinking about taking the grandson down to the park

My name is Ree.

I'm a vegan. I work as a nurse in the emergency room. I like to work in a fast paced environment. My work is busy.

I like reading, movies, chocolate cake.

I'm not good at baking. I prefer cooking to baking. I do not cook on weekends. I enjoy cooking pasta & grilled fish.

My name is Rose.

I retired a few years ago. I love baking. I read recipe books.

I am an old woman. I have a 5 year old grandson. My grandson was in the hospital.

I am not vegan. I like to bake for my grandson.

I bake often and cook on most days. I do not cook on the weekends.

I spend time trying new vegetarian recipes.

I occasionally take walks outside the house.

[Speaker 1] Something interesting happened at work this last week.

[Speaker 2] I am intrigued, tell me what happened!

[Speaker 1] A guy game in that had stabbed a knife through his hand! He was playing that knife game where you slam the knife down between your fingers and he totally misjudged and stabbed right through! It was cool.

[Speaker 2] What an idiot, you can blunt a perfectly good knife that way. How old was this guy?

[Speaker 1] Haha, I like that you are more concerned about the knife blunting than the potential maiming of a hand. He was like 23. Pretty standard dumb kid stuff. You better tell your grandson to avoid that game when he gets older!

[Speaker 2] He doesn't have to wait til he's older to avoid it! But really, how much is he going to listen to me anyway. I'd be better off telling him to poke himself a little just to see if it hurts. That's how life lessons go, you don't get the point until you feel the poke.

[Speaker 1] Maybe you should leave the stove on next time you're cooking together and let him touch it so he can start learning young. Does your grandson visit with you often? He's lucky to have you to learn life lessons from you tough old bird.

[Speaker 2] Hahaha. My mom pressed an clothes iron against me once, it wasn't on so it wasn't hot at all, just terrifying. Ever since then I was sure not to be playing around anywhere near her when she was ironing. My grandson is well behaved so far, maybe he just likes getting treats though. How busy has work been lately, are things getting back to normal?

[Speaker 1] Wow, things were certainly different when you were growing up! That sounds terrifying! Yeah things are great at work. Busy, busy, busy just as I like it! Do you miss working or are you loving retirement still?

[Speaker 2] I don't miss working on someone else's to-do list one bit, I got my own! Are you the type to be very active when you take a vacation?

[Speaker 1] I cant wait for my retirement! No. I love going on vacation with no plans and just reading and lounging. It's nice to take a break. Do you have any vacations planned?

[Speaker 2] The rest of my life is a vacation, really. But I'll be taking a trip to Yosemite in a couple months, I want to see those waterfalls one more time.


I own a corvette.
I live in california.
I like to surf.
I am a mechanic.

[Speaker 1] I've a german shepard named kiwi, do you have pets

[Speaker 2] Interesting name, like from new zealand? I don't have pets.

[Speaker 1] What things do you like, I surf the atlantic in spare time

[Speaker 2] I'm constantly working, I desperately need a vacation. Surfing, how cool

[Speaker 1] Yeah I work alot too, I work as a mechanic part time

[Speaker 2] On cars? That sounds challenging, I like for things to be perfect

[Speaker 1] Well living in california is expensive so I save by doing my own car work

[Speaker 2] I used to live there, it is ridiculously high. Have you taken a vacation lately

[Speaker 1] Yes! Recently I drove cross country in my corvette, it was amazing

[Speaker 2] Oh wow how exciting, I am very jealous. I bet you have a nice car

[Speaker 1] Yes its a 2017 corvette, I love it! What kind of car do you have

[Speaker 2] A 2016 dodge caravan haha

[Speaker 1] Well plenty of space for cargo lol

[Speaker 2] Lol yes that's the point. It is not as sporty as yours

I have a german shepard named Kiwi.
I like to surf.
I work as a mechanic part time.
I live in California.
I have a Corvette.

I don't have any pets.

I work alot and want to have a vacation.

I like for things to be perfect.

I used to live in California.

I have a 2016 Dodge Caravan.

[Speaker 1] Have you made any plans for that vacation you wanted?

[Speaker 2] I was approved to take the entire week off at the end of February but I am still not sure where I want to go. Any good travel destination ideas?

[Speaker 1] That is good. You deserve a vacation. You could come visit me! When was the last time you were in CA?

[Speaker 2] I moved away last year when I started working for a company that didn't require me to live in Silicon Valley. Finally I can work from wherever I want, unfortunately the workload is so great that I still haven't got to see much of the new state I am living in. Where are you living in California?

[Speaker 1] Where are you living now? Do you at least enjoy your job? I live in Santa Monica. It is pretty peaceful here. Kiwi and I hit the beach every day and so some surfing.

[Speaker 2] Living in the DFW area, cost of living was so much cheaper and I keep telling myself I did it to enjoy travelling with all the extra money. I am so jealous that you get to enjoy the beach every day. Kiwi must love all the outdoor exercise. How do you get by only working part time and living in Santa Monica, don't you worry about money?

[Speaker 1] You should take a road trip here. Just hop in your van and drive. I work at an auto shop part time. I work there 3 days a week. And them I also do freelance mechanic work and surf instruction. Together, it all pays the bills.

[Speaker 2] That's so cool. Yeah a road trip would be a great idea, then I could see everything from Dallas to Santa Monica and take a relaxing week just letting the road take me where it will. What days are you off next week so I can make sure I am in Santa Monica on those day?

[Speaker 1] Yay! That would be awesome. Road trips are great, and I would totally love to have you here. I usually work Mon, Tues, and Thurs, but my boss is really cool about me switching my days if Ineed to. So basically, any day you come is good.

[Speaker 2] Awesome then I will do that, I have always wanted to see the Grand Canyon so I will probably detour to that on the way over. Any other good stops you can think of?

[Speaker 1] I am really excited for you and to see you. This is the break you need. What day are you going to leave? I am going to email some ideas of places you could stop along the way.

[Speaker 2] I am off from the 20th till the 28th at the end of the month. I will probably make it to you by Wednesday the 24th and be able to spend till Friday in Santa Monica if you are fine with showing me around.

I have a german shepard named Kiwi.

I work as a mechanic part time.

I have a Corvette.

I live in Santa Monica. I go to the beach every day and surf.

I work at an auto shop part time. I work there 3 days a week. I also freelance mechanic work and surf intructions.

I usually work Mon., Tues., and Thurs but my boss is cool with switching day.

I don't have any pets.

I like for things to be perfect.

I have a 2016 Dodge Caravan.

I moved away from CA last year.

I am off from the 20th till the 28th at the end of month.I don't know where I want to go. I can finally work wherever I want. I work a lot and haven't seen much of the new state I live in.

I live in the DFW area. I enjoy travelling with all the extra money.

I have always wanted to see the Grand Canyon.

[Speaker 1] I sent you the email about places to visit.  I hope you get to see them before you come out.

[Speaker 2] Thank you! I will have to look through it later. So, what are you doing now?

[Speaker 1] Just kind of being lazy and lounging around with Kiwi. Was planning to hit the waves later on. How about you?

[Speaker 2] I was thinking about making a sandwich. I love sandwiches!

[Speaker 1] Nice, sandwiches are always a good call. What type of sandwich did you have in mind?

[Speaker 2] I know, right? I'm thinking maybe turkey and cheese. It's my go-to. What's your favorite sandwich?

[Speaker 1] Angus roast beef with some gouda cheese on a garlic bun. Haven't had that in a while, and now I'm probably going to make a sandwich soon too, haha.

[Speaker 2] That sounds delicious! I love gouda. It's really good in a grilled cheese with some jalapenos.

[Speaker 1] Indeed. It's also good in mac n' cheese and wraps.

[Speaker 2] Ooh, I'll have to try it in mac and cheese! I love trying new food combinations.

[Speaker 1] Definitely give it a shot. And same. Especially if it involves a different culture's food, always interesting to eat what good foods other folks have come up with.

[Speaker 2] Yep! I just found a great recipe for beef and broccoli over noodles the other day. It's hard to find recipes that make the meat nice and soft, but this was definitely a winner. Have you found any recipes you've really liked lately?

[Speaker 2] Probably. I remember the name jane. Where do you live?

[Speaker 1] I am living in virginia in my parents basement actually. You?

[Speaker 2] I am at home in my apartment living room. Just walked home from work.

[Speaker 1] I just got off work too, at a flower shop

[Speaker 2] I like flowers. I work at merrill lynch in beverly hills. I can walk to work.

[Speaker 1] Wow nice. On my way to work I feed stray cats

[Speaker 2] I am allergic to cats. But I like to play baseball and soccer. You play sports?

[Speaker 1] That's unfortunate, I love cats! I don't get out much, I read used books mostly

[Speaker 2] That's too bad. I love the outdoors. This rented apartment is stuffy has a balcony though.

[Speaker 1] Yeah? Do you like vegetarian food too?

[Speaker 2] That was a lead in to I hate green beans. Had to work it in somehow.

[Speaker 1] Yum I love green beans!

[Speaker 2] I do cook a mean green bean and cheese omelette. Do you walk to work?

My name is Jane.

I live in my parent's basement in Virginia.

I work at a flower shop.

I feed stray cats on my way to work.

I don't go outside much.  I read a lot of used books.

I like vegetarian food.

My name is Mia.

I live in an apartment I rent. My apartment is stuffy.  My apartment has a balcony.

I work at Merrill Lynch in Beverly Hills.  I live in Beverly Hills.  I walk to work.

I play baseball,  soccer.  I am allergic to cats.

I love being outside.

I hate green beans.

[Speaker 1] Are you still doing in person work at Merrill Lynch or are you working remotely now?

[Speaker 2] I'm in person and I really like it.  My apartment's a bit stuffy to work in all day long.  I get to walk to work, too, which is great!  How have you been?

[Speaker 1] That's nice that you can get out and enjoy the city every day. I'm alright! Same old routine with work and such.

[Speaker 2] Have you read any good books lately? I've been looking for one to read while sitting on my balcony in the morning.

[Speaker 1] Have you read 100 Years of Solitude? It's a classic.

[Speaker 2] I have not, but will have to try it. How  are  your parents doing?  Were they able to finish renovating your basement apartment?

[Speaker 1] We're almost done! We did all the hard work of painting and replacing the carpet, and now I get to do some redecorating.

[Speaker 2] Nice!   Decorating is fun!  Are you still planning on adopting those 2 kittens?

[Speaker 1] I'm still talking to my parents about it because they'd have to help me take care of them while I'm at work. Do you think I should?

[Speaker 2] I think you should ask them. Apart from work, you're home alot, and they won't be kittens for ever.  You can even still feed the strays!

[Speaker 1] Yes, you're right. I'm going to talk to my parents about it this week, I'll let you know what happens! I'll need help picking names if I do bring them home.

[Speaker 2] You could always name one after me!  Mia is a good cat name.  I wish I wasn't allergic, I'd love to have one.

My name is Jane.

I work at a flower shop. I feed stray cats on my way to work. I want to adopt 2 kittens.

I work at Merrill Lynch in Beverly Hills. I enjoy my job.   I live in Beverly Hills.  I walk to work.

I love being outside.

I hate green beans.

[Speaker 1] Mia, I found an interesting book about a famous baseball player I think you would like.

[Speaker 2] That's great, I'd love to give it a read.  Who is it about?

[Speaker 1] It's about Babe Ruth, but it focuses more on his journey through childhood and as a young adult rather than his baseball career. It's very inspirational and moving. I blazed through it in one sitting! If you want I can send it to you so you can read it while you walk to work.

[Speaker 2] I'm always looking for new books to read on my walk, sounds great!  You always recommend the best books. How is your renovation going?

[Speaker 1] Cool beans, I'll send it over your way tomorrow! It's going fairly well actually. I'll have to show you some pictures, it's very modern and everything has a sleek finish. I knocked down the wall in the kitchen so now it's wide open with the dining room. Has your apartment still been giving you trouble with how stuffy it is?

[Speaker 2] I cannot wait to see all that you have done.  Maybe you will motivate me to do the same.  Opening up the floor plan may make the apartment seem less stuffy.  I try to keep the balcony open but have to close it during the day.  One of my neighbor's cats got in last time I left the door open and I had quite an allergy attack!

[Speaker 1] Oh no, that's terrible! You know, I heard a good way to keep cats out is to have bowls of water laying in front of the doors. It's an old trick my family used to do to keep cats from coming in, you should give it a try! By the way, I heard your soccer team made it to the finals, congratulations!

[Speaker 2] I will give it a try - you are going to be a great cat owner once you find a couple kittens to adopt!  Yes, thank you! We barely made it in and scored the winning goal in the very last minute of the game.  It was a good one.  If you're not working at the flower shop on Saturday, you should come watch it!

[Speaker 1] I would love that! Is it too corny if I make a sign with your number on it? I'll even bring some flowers from the shop to celebrate, I feel like I just know you're going to win!

[Speaker 2] You are such a good friend, go for it!! The sign I think will help me play better. After that we should try the new vegetarian restaurant that is close to the soccer field.  I went there a few weeks ago and they have the BEST fried green beans.

[Speaker 1] Oh my gosh, totally! I'm so excited, I feel like I haven't seen you in forever. I miss going to new restaurants and trying their food with you. I feel like we both got caught up with work and drifted apart a little bit, but I'm so excited to be seeing you this weekend!

[Speaker 2] Its a plan, let's definitely keep this going.  It has been way too long my friend!

My name is Jane.

I am renovating my basement apartment. I own a home. I am renovating my kitchen.

I am a vegetarian. I went to a vegetarian restaurant a few weeks ago.

[Speaker 1] The mayor of our town stopped by the flower shop today to buy flowers for his wife and I was happy to finally meet him.

[Speaker 2] I imagine that was exciting.  Do you live in a large town?  I would love to meet the mayor of Beverly Hills. I should visit more flower shops.

[Speaker 1] No, I live in a small town in Virginia.  Still in my parent's basement, though I do own a home.

[Speaker 2] I don't think I could live in a basement apartment.  I love the sunshine and fresh air I get from the balcony at my apartment.  Are your parents ill?

[Speaker 1] Thank goodness they are not ill.  Yeah, sometimes basement apartments can get stuffy, thats why I'm renovating!  Why do you think your apartment is stuffy?

[Speaker 2] I totally forgot you were renovating your kitchen.  I hope that is going well.  My apartment isn't stuffy, I just like being outdoors.

[Speaker 1] I guess we are like the odd couple, I don't like going out!  But I do enjoy a good vegetarian restaurant, do they have good ones in Beverly Hills?

[Speaker 2] True Food Kitchen and Flower Child are two of my favorites.  Lots of choices here.  Is it easy to find vegetarian restaurants in your town?

[Speaker 2] Even college doesn't offer security. I've a degree in statistics!

[Speaker 1] For entertainment I go to the theater to see comedies.

[Speaker 2] Love comedy. Back in school to get casino management degree. Not a lot of time for shows

[Speaker 1] Well, statistics are good if you are counting cards?

[Speaker 2] Yes, but this card is only paying 20 cents on the barrel, my kids need to eat!

I listen to music Ed SHeeran.
I work in yoga.
I eat healthy foods.
I like to watch comedy movies.

I am a casino blackjack dealer. I count cards in Vegas for money. I have a college degree in statistics. I am earning a degree in casino management.

I have three children.

I love comedies.

I need to make more money.

[Speaker 1] How was it at the casino today?

[Speaker 2] Pretty good, none of the guests were too drunk and disorderly so that makes my shift easier. How was work for you?

[Speaker 1] It was terrible, I am a yoga instructor and all my students are late and never work on flexibility. Do you ever get frustrated with work?

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry to hear that, I'd be frustrated too. Not really for me, unless I have to deal with a person that's totally trashed and being vulgar. It's participating as a customer after work that can be very frustrating.

[Speaker 1] Well I always enjoy finishing work, I put some Ed Sheeran on blast and dance around on my way home. Pretty cool, what do you do after work?

[Speaker 2] Nice, that sounds like a lot of fun. Sometimes I play no-limits hold 'em at the casino. I'm there anyway, and between you and me I'm getting pretty good at counting cards. It's the bad beats that I have trouble accepting.

[Speaker 1] Why would you count cards at Hold'em, I thought that was good for Blackjack?

[Speaker 2] It's not the same as counting in blackjack. In poker, you do not count cards to gain an edge over the house but rather to make profitable decisions against other players.

[Speaker 1] Haha, ok... I play a bit of online poker myself and, no offense, but you sound like a right fish to me!

[Speaker 2] None taken, I'm sure you're a sweaty that smells like a right fish so I'll count my blessings.

[Speaker 1] Well I would just love to play some head's up poker with you. It will be like taking candy from a baby, haha

[Speaker 2] Woah there, tough guy. Sounds like you're missing out on winning some WSOP bracelets over there. I guess we'll have to play to find out.

I listen to music Ed SHeeran.

I work in yoga.

I eat healthy foods.

I like to watch comedy movies.

I am a yoga instructor. I enjoy finishing work.

I play online poker sometimes.

I have 3 children.

I love comedies.

I need to make more money. I play no-limits hold 'em at the casino sometimes.

[Speaker 1] Have you been practicing some head's up poker?

[Speaker 2] Oh my gosh you'll never believe what happened!

[Speaker 1] Okay I am all ears. Anything unexpected happened? But you know anything can happen in Vegas

[Speaker 2] So after I got off work on Saturday I was walking down the strip, and I was in front of this place called The Tiger Cage Card Club. Never been in there, but all of the sudden it was like something told me to go inside.

[Speaker 1] Wow Tiger Cage Card Club! What a name! Was it like another betting place?

[Speaker 2] Yeah but no slots, no keno, just card games. They had about four tables set up for heads up play, next to the tables for the bigger games. There was a guy sitting at a bigger table, his game was breaking up, the other players were all leaving, so he asked me if I wanted to play some one on one while he waited for more action. What do you think I did? I mean, what would you have done?

[Speaker 1] I guess you sat down and went one-on-one with the guy? What was the ante? Did he know that you are trained in poker?

[Speaker 2] He had just won big at the table so I think he was a little full of himself. Plus, people tend to underestimate me, just going by my looks. So you could say I got some practice, haha. I got about $2000 worth of practice by the time the game was over!

[Speaker 1] Man.. you cleaned that guy out huh? You are getting better at it every time. Do you still do blackjack? Or are you concentrating on poker now?

[Speaker 2] I like poker because it feels like a challenge. Blackjack, it gets a little boring, once you figure out the math. But poker you've got to factor in the psychology of other players a lot more, its not just a numbers game.

[Speaker 1] Cool. Well you know I am just a yoga instructor. I can't never sit at a poker table without losing big haha

[Speaker 2] I could help you learn. I mean, not everyone can win big bucks but I can show you how to give the local Friday night game guys a real run for their money.


My father wants me to go into his business but I'd prefer not to.

[Speaker 1] Wow, cat ladies are usually old. Is that the wrong thing to say?

[Speaker 2] Nope! I also work at a grocery store and go to college part time

[Speaker 1] My dad owns an appliance store. When he dies I do not want it.

[Speaker 2] Ahahah that is funny! What do you want to do?

[Speaker 1] Shopping is not going to solve my problem. I cant even do my normal life stuff anymore

[Speaker 2] Yes I'm going to try and get it done tomorrow since I'm off work. How's work going for you?

[Speaker 1] Good idea. Work is stressful. My boss is being so mean to me.

[Speaker 2] Oh no, that's not good.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I regret sleeping with him. Do you have a job?

[Speaker 2] That's a horrid situation. Yeah, just doing some freelance stuff at the moment. I'm spending more time shopping and on youtube than actually working but!

[Speaker 1] What is your favorite music genre?

[Speaker 2] I would probably say pop music as cliche as that is. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I like pop as well, especially k-pop. My kids are obsessed with k-pop!

[Speaker 2] Really, I've never listened to that. I might give it a try. How are the kids?

I slept with my married boss.

My boss is retaliating against me for saying no to sex. My job is stressful. My boss is mean to me.

Pop is my favorite music genre. I have never listened to k-pop.

[Speaker 1] My kids and I just went to the park to spend some time together.

[Speaker 2] I imagine that has been good for you and the kids.  Your life has been very stressful.  It must be good to just relax.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I needed time to unwind. It was very relaxing. But, I can only blame myself for most of my problems. How's your work going?

[Speaker 2] It is up and down.  Freelance writing can be like that.  I can't complain.  How are the kids?

[Speaker 1] They are good. They keep me really busy. We spend as much time outdoors as we can.

[Speaker 2] If you don't mind me asking, do they know anything about what is going on with you at work?

[Speaker 1] They have noticed that I have been a little bit off. But I try and keep those lives separated.

[Speaker 2] That is good.  I am glad to hear that.  You already have enough problems on your plate.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I need to get my life in order. I think I've been acting out a little bit too much lately.

[Speaker 2] Maybe you should take some time off work and go on a vacation.

[Speaker 1] I think that's a good idea. Any suggestions about where I should go?

[Speaker 2] I think taking the kids to a state park for at least a weekend would be a good start.

[Speaker 2] Yeah they like them alot and plus we get time to go out a bit with my husband when they are gone. Do you have any kids or for now its just the two of you?

[Speaker 1] That's great! No kids yet, but I hope to have them once we are married.

[Speaker 2] Okay good plans, so its something you have thought about, do you prefer any specific gender for the first one?

[Speaker 1] I think about it lots, I would love to have a big family! I would love to have a girl first.

[Speaker 2] Yeah take it from me a girl make for a very good first born, it's in their nature to always protect. Anyway enjoy going out now because it will end as soon as they arrive

[Speaker 1] That's great advice, thanks! I will definitely miss the partying, but I think it will be worth it.

[Speaker 2] Yeah its a small price to pay. What have you been up to lately?

[Speaker 1] I've been heading to beach. I really like surfing. Do you like the beach?

[Speaker 2] Not really a my thing but surfing looks kind of cool, I may join you one day.

I love beaches and surfing. I live near a beach. I like to party.

I like Titanic.

My husband is a mechanic.

I like raspberries.

I like to party.

I live near a beach.

[Speaker 1] You have to hear about this killer wave I just surfed!

[Speaker 2] Tell me about it! Where was it? How long did it last?

[Speaker 1] It was on the North Shore of Hawaii. It felt like it was a million feet tall, but I think it measured out to be around 20. How are the waves by your house?

[Speaker 2] They've been really tame lately. Better than Michigan I suppose.

[Speaker 1] Ha! I guess so. How are your kids doing?

[Speaker 2] Really well! My daughter is in 4th grade and really enjoying the challenge. Any immediate plans for kids?

[Speaker 1] Not in the near future, but it is on the horizon. Do you think it's worth it?

[Speaker 2] Well, can't party as much. Or surf, but they make up for it in other ways.

[Speaker 1] That's true. How is the housing market out in Detroit?

[Speaker 2] I've heard it's getting better lately. Why do you ask? Thinking about moving here?

[Speaker 1] I'd consider it. I've heard good things about it.

[Speaker 2] The city has really improved in the last 10 years. The rumors of its demise are overblown. No surfing though

I am a veterinarian.

I like Titanic.

I like strawberries.

I am a surfer. I am in Hawaii. I've considered moving to Detroit.

I have two kids. My first child was a girl. I have a daughter in 4th grade.

I am from Michigan. I like Detroit. I live in Detroit near a beach.

I like Titanic.

My husband is a mechanic.

I like raspberries.

I like to party.

[Speaker 1] I was looking online at houses for sale in the Detroit area. There are some beautiful properties there.

[Speaker 2] There definitely are! Did you see any near a beach?

[Speaker 1] Oh god yeah there are some great ones by the beach, I'd love to live there

[Speaker 2] Yeah, they're a lot pricier, but I couldn't imagine not having a beach around. My daughter absolutely loves spending time at the beach.

[Speaker 1] Does she like swimming in the sea?

[Speaker 2] Yes, we got her swimming lessons at an early age and she has always really enjoyed it. Does your fiance like beaches?

[Speaker 1] Yes! My fiance loves going to beaches he actually was the one who taught me how to surf!

[Speaker 2] Oh that makes this so much simpler for you then. My husband was never that interested in the beach, so it took a lot of convincing for us to live near one.

[Speaker 1] That would be so disappointing if you couldn't have convinced him! No we'd both love to live near the beach and maybe get the chance to spend more time on the water than we already do

[Speaker 2] I wonder why you would want to leave Hawaii though. It seems so beautiful there, and I don't think you'll find better places to surf around these parts.

[Speaker 1] I know I love it here so much but the job opportunities aren't very good which is why we're looking at going to Detroit - trust me if I could stay in paradise I would!

[Speaker 2] Ah, that's too bad. Maybe if you end up nearby we could spend some time at the beach together.

[Speaker 2] My eldest is 15 and my youngest is 7. How about your son, he plays sports right?

[Speaker 1] Oh your kids have some gap in age, probably you wanted a rest after first baby. Yes my Son plays baseball. I've started to teach him when he was about 3 years old. What hobbies does your children have?

[Speaker 2] That's great, helping him learn from early on. My kids like to read and are learning to play instruments. I've been teaching them how to cook recently, their favourite thing to make right now is pizza

[Speaker 1] I think most of the kids like pizza. I would like now some meat feast pizza. Now when you started to talk about pizza I am thinking about ordering few in the evening. Next tiem don't mention pizza lol

[Speaker 2] Agreed, might have to make some or order some tonight myself. My favourite is vegetable toppings. It's easy to make anyone hungry by mentioning pizza aha. Do you cook often?

[Speaker 1] I have to with three kids, have no other. My best one is meatballs. I almost got them made like IKEA's meatballs. Have you tried them before?

[Speaker 2] I haven't tried them before, no. I will have to go and buy some to try, everyone I've heard talk about them has given them fantastic reviews though. Meatballs generally are nice though. Do you have any plans for this week?

[Speaker 1] My kids will stay at grandparents over the weekend So I can spend some time with my Husband on Saturday. If you want we could meet up on Sunday for a tea or Iced--tea depending on the weather. What do you think?

[Speaker 2] That sounds nice, yes, I will find someone to watch my kids. I know a good place that makes nice iced tea if its hot. Perhaps we could play some baseball too, I know you're good at it.

[Speaker 1] Yes, we can. Do you still have that baseball which I gave you last time? You take a ball I will take a glove.... or a bat? hehe

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure where it is, I'll have a look around for it. If not I'll pick up some from a shop before I meet you there aha

I'm good at baseball.

I can make meatballs.

I'm a first grade teacher.

I love to drink ice tea.

I have three kids and a husband. I have a 15 year old son, and a 7 year old son.

My kids like to read and are learning to play instruments. I am teaching my kids how to cook. My kids favorite food to make is pizza.

My favorite toppings on pizza are vegetables.

I haven't tried meatballs before.

[Speaker 1] Would you be open to trying meatballs?

[Speaker 2] You know what, I think I would. My kids are always such picky eaters, I wouldn't be a good example to them if I wasn't willing to try new things. Are your kids just as picky as mine?

[Speaker 1] They are, but I try and sneak their veggies into our meals. Most of the time they don't notice.

[Speaker 2] How do you do that? My kids will pick at their food with a fork for twenty minutes before taking their first bite. It's frustrating sometimes. I think if I got them into sports they would be more hungry and less picky. What do you think?

[Speaker 1] I try and blend them up, if I can, or I cut them up really small. I think sports would definitely help. What type of sports are you thinking about?

[Speaker 2] I was thinking about baseball. It looks like a lot of fun and me and my husband like to get outside on the weekends anyway. Do you think you and your kids could meet us at the park this week and show us a few tips?

[Speaker 1] We would love that. We have a lot of baseball gear we could bring. Do your kids have any experience with it?

[Speaker 2] Nope, absolutely none. They've always been so into reading and music that they never really developed a desire to be outside and get dirty! Maybe afterwards my husband can fire up our brick oven grill and we can all make our own pizzas, veggies included haha.

[Speaker 1] Ha! That's a great idea! Pizza and baseball are a great combo!

[Speaker 2] They sure are! If you want, you can even bring your meatballs over and we can put them on the pizzas. Do your kids have any allergies we should be aware of? My sons are allergic to peanuts, so we always do our best to be mindful of others.

[Speaker 1] Thank you, that is thoughtful of you. We don't have any allergies. We will bring some desserts to share as well!

[Speaker 2] Sounds great! I'll make sure the boys are ready to go in the morning and we can meet you at the park by your house around noon if that works for you. I heard it's going to be hot, so I'll bring sunscreen too just in case.

[Speaker 2] I like watching the Celtics a lot. Do you watch NBA basketball? Which team do you support?

[Speaker 1] I actually don't watch much NBA. It is probably good because I have to spend most of my time studying. Are there any NBA teams from Pennsylvania that I should be rooting for?

[Speaker 1] I'm up late every night :) I always look forward to getting my midnight snack of cold cereal and a glass of tomato juice. It's the best. It gives me the energy to keep going for another couple hours. What do you normally do each night that keeps you up?

I like the NBA. I like the Celtics.

I am getting my Masters Degree.

I want to work at microsoft.

[Speaker 1] I just watched the 76ers play the Celtics on the tv. Did you watch as well?

[Speaker 2] I did, it was a great game! The Celtics were so close this time, we're gonna beat them next time I know it.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that was a tough loss. I'm up so late I catch a lot of the West Coast games. You know, the Warriors, the Suns, the Blazers, etc.

[Speaker 2] Yes same! It's a problem haha, the games get me so energized and then I want to go to sleep even less than before. I need to fix my sleep schedule.

[Speaker 1] I'm up late anyway, but my problem is I have a 9 o'clock class twice a week and am just not ready for it. I'm afraid I'll flunk it.

[Speaker 2] Oh no, back in undergrad I avoided morning classes like the plague. If I had them I'd always end up skipping them. Fortunately the materials were usually posted online.

[Speaker 1] The professor of my class docks you for poor attendance, so that's what stinks. I never like speaking in class anyway, so I struggle even if I'm there.

[Speaker 2] Oh no that sucks! Is it one of those discussion-based classes? I had a recitation last semester for a philosophy class where we were supposed to discuss the topics with each other in front of the TA, but no one had ever done the readings so it was always such an awkward struggle.

[Speaker 1] Yeah. I want to be a lawyer, but not a  courtroom lawyer. Still, you have to take advocacy class, which requires you to make arguments. I like reading more than talking..

[Speaker 2] Oh man, I wish I could focus on reading easier. I always get bored so fast, I need to be doing something active. I'm glad I'm finally in grad classes and I don't have to do all kinds of required humanities courses. I'm a lot better at coding than I am at reading long passages.

[Speaker 1] Law school requires a crazy amount of reading, but again, that's right up my alley. Hey, maybe you can work at Microsoft someday and I'll be one of those lawyers who sues you guys. Lol.

[Speaker 2] Omg. Or you could be one of those lawyers who protects us from all the lawsuits! Protecting big corporations, definitely where it's at lol

I have a pug.

I study alot. I am a grad student studying law at Penn State. I have completed one semester of college. I want to be a lawyer. I don't want to be a courtroom lawyer.

I'm a night owl. I have early class twice a week. I don't like to speak in class.I'm introverted.

I watch the NBA.

I like to read.

I drive a Honda.

I'm also a night owl. I stay up watching tv at night. I am on an odd sleep schedule. I avoided morning classes in college.

I like the NBA. I like the Celtics.

I am getting my Masters Degree. I want to work at microsoft. I am good at coding.

[Speaker 1] My pug did the funniest thing last night while we were watching basketball.

[Speaker 2] Oh no, what did your pug do? Did he fart?

[Speaker 1] Haha, no. He got one of his toys and pretended to throw it just like the players on the television. It was so funny.

[Speaker 2] That's great. How many points did Squish get?

[Speaker 1] I honestly wasn't paying that much attention. I had a early class the following morning and had a lot of studying to do.

[Speaker 2] I don't know how you find the time to watch basketball and study. That must catch up to you at some point, but you've got to take breaks from the studying or you'll burn out.

[Speaker 1] I know, but it takes a lot of studying to be a lawyer. I'm sure you understand, graduate school can't be easy either.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I get enough screen time studying for my Masters. I don't even want to turn on the TV to watch the game half the time. Have you thought about what area you want to practice law in?

[Speaker 1] I'm such an introvert that I couldn't be a courtroom litigator. I'm thinking about pursuing immigration law on the policy side.

[Speaker 2] That's an interesting choice. I never would have guessed. I'm sure there will be a lot of changes in that area before you get there. Lots of work to do.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely, but I think I can do the most good in that area. What are you hoping to do once you graduate?

[Speaker 2] The goal is to get a job at Microsoft, but I have feelers in other corporations. Gotta have a secondary plan.


I hit for over forty million dollars.
One day I played the lottery.
I am rich beyond my dreams.
I will never punch a clock again.

We live in a rural area.
I've several children.
We have a dog.
I'm a woman.
My parents are still married.

I got it and now I'm a multi millionaire.

I want to win a lot of money.

I've a lot of money.

I am happily retired.

Iam in the sticks.

I have multiple offspring.

I cannot have a cat because fido hates them.

I am a lady.

I had great role models when it comes to relationships.

[Speaker 1] For the first time, I did not work today.

[Speaker 2] I would kill for a day off. I am a stay at home mom of 6 kids.

[Speaker 1] Wow! Kids are great though!

[Speaker 2] They really are. They help us run our apple farm. Do you have kids?

[Speaker 1] No, I do not. I'm by myself but I have no complaints.

[Speaker 2] We have a black lab. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 1] I just came into a lot of money, I should get a dog now.

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

[Speaker 1] Nothing! My job is to try my luck. No work hours for me!

[Speaker 2] You are free as a bird. Do you have any hobbies?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I play the violin, and also make them by hand.

[Speaker 2] My mom plays the violin too! Very beautiful instrument. How long have you played for?

I don't have any children. I live by myself.

I don't have a dog.

I don't have a job.

I play the violin. I make violins by hand.

I am a stay at home mom. I have six kids.

I have an apple farm.

I have a black lab.

[Speaker 1] Sorry for the delayed response! I've been playing the violin for ten years. Does your black lab love running throughout your apple farm?

[Speaker 2] yes, he really enjoys swimming in the pond below the orchard most! How have you been able to survive just making and playing violins?

[Speaker 1] I sell them for what I can, they usually bring in a fair amount of money. I also make violin soundtracks sometimes but it isn't going well. I will probably need a job soon.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure a handmade violin would sell for quite a bit since it's so labor intensive. You are a very skilled artisan. Have you considered applying for a job at a music shop, or giving lessons?

[Speaker 1] Thank you, you are very kind. I had considered it but there aren't many music shops near where I live. I considered giving lessons but I'm not very good with children. How are your children? Do they receive music lessons at all?

[Speaker 2] I have taught them some piano, and my oldest just picked up the guitar and started teaching themselves. We love music and it's a good way to spend time together as a family.

[Speaker 1] I have been playing the piano for two years now it is a beautiful instrument. Your oldest is very talented to be teaching themselves. Who is your favourite musician?

[Speaker 2] I have a lot of favorites, but I enjoy playing JSBach mostly. Who is your's?

[Speaker 1] I like most genres, but I have to say I hate classical music. I'm more of a hip-hop fan myself. I like Drake, but listen to a lot of UK musicians. Do you know any UK musicians?

[Speaker 2] I'm not familiar with much modern music. I like The Clash, Dead Kennedys, and old UK punk rock like that. I just like to play classical on the piano more than modern music, but I enjoy a lot of rock, punk, and indie music from the late 80's and 90's.

[Speaker 1] Ah I was born in the late 90s so I never really listened to that kind of music. My dad loves it though.

[Speaker 2] I was born in the late 70's so I came of age when all that music was in its hay day. My kids like all types of music so i hear a lot of music, but I don't know many of the artists. What type of music do you play on your violin? I like Mumford and Sons, and they have a violinist.

I don't have a dog.

I don't have a job. I considered giving violin lessons but I'm not very good with children.

I make violins by hand. I've been playing the violin for ten years.

I have been playing the piano for two years.

My family and I love music.

I was born in the late 70's.

[Speaker 1] I have decided to start giving violin lessons.

[Speaker 2] Really? That's great! Have you found any students yet?

[Speaker 1] Not yet. I was thinking of putting out some ads on social media. Which do you think I should use?

[Speaker 2] Facebook probably has the best filters to weed out weirdos trying to answer your ad. And if you wanted, you could even specify that you were looking for older students. Adults. "Looking to teach old dogs new tricks!" or something funny like that. I know you said that you don't feel as comfortable teaching kids.

[Speaker 1] haha That's a good line! I might just use it. Okay. Facebook sounds good. It's what I use the most anyway.  Btw, how's your dog?

[Speaker 2] Lulu got herself stung by a bumble bee, right on the nose. She's been a pretty miserable puppy the last few days about it.

[Speaker 1] Aw, poor thing. I can't have pets. I don't have the attention span to keep looking out for them. It does get lonely sometimes, but I like to take walks around the park to see people.

[Speaker 2] Do you strike up conversations, or just like to people watch?

[Speaker 1] Oh, I just people watch. I'm shy. I love watching, though. So many happy people having a good time. A lot of people bring their dogs, too. It's fun to watch them play. Plus, just getting out and getting fresh air is really nice.

[Speaker 2] It's important. When I get sick or if I get too busy spring cleaning sometimes, and don't get outside for a few days, I get a little stir crazy. There's nothing like the sunshine on you to set your mind right. But I guess that's why I'm an apple farmer. I couldn't imagine having an office job and wasting the whole day inside.

[Speaker 1] Speaking of apples, do you have a favorite apple recipe?

[Speaker 2] Yes but it's a little bit weird. Deep fried apple slices, with a salty lemon dip.


My significant other is involved in space flight.

I cok a lot of italian dishes.

I am part of a modern family.

I often enter a room only to stop and wonder why I came there.

I'm often successful at ocean fishing.
I like the look.
I like catching sharks.
I enjoy a few brews by the river.
I like things that are not complicated.

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you today?

[Speaker 2] I'm good how are you

[Speaker 1] I am doing wonderfully, I spoke to my moms today, they're coming to visit.

[Speaker 2] It is great that you have family

[Speaker 1] My one mom makes the best spaghetti and meatballs. She puts ricotta in them.

[Speaker 2] Does she make any fish dishes

[Speaker 1] She does. My boyfriend loves her fish tacos with cilantro lime slaw.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great I love fish

[Speaker 1] I do too, my other mom is allergic, so it is a rare treat.

[Speaker 2] What happens when she eats it

[Speaker 1] She stops breathing if we don't get to her in time.

[Speaker 2] Wow that is really crazy

[Speaker 1] Similar to those with peanut allergies.

[Speaker 2] I have never experienced it

[Speaker 1] You are very lucky, my boyfriend says it is a big problem at nasa

[Speaker 2] Why is that? Do they not have to get screened
