I went to an elite ivy league school.

I eat out more than three times a week.

I look down on people who didn t.

I believe the rich shouldn t be taxed as much.

I work in finance.

I like to dress up for other people.

I m an actress and I work at a grocery store.

I think I ll be famous one day.

I take great care of my skin.

I am a harvard alumni.

I don't make healthy meal choices.

I am disappointed with folks who did not.

I am a republican.

My career is in the banking industry.

I like to cosplay.

I love to perform but now I'm employed at a market.

I wish to be a star.

I like to wash my face every day.

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you tonight?

[Speaker 2] I am doing my nightly skin regime.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a rich person thing to do...

[Speaker 2] I'm an aspiring actress.

[Speaker 1] I spent ages at a private, elite, ivy league.

[Speaker 2] And how did that go for you?

[Speaker 1] Got a degree and now I work in finance. Do you have any acting studies?

[Speaker 2] No, I just think one day I'll be famous.

[Speaker 1] When you get famous, do you think you should be taxed more?

[Speaker 2] I don't see why not, if I earn a lot.

[Speaker 1] That's very good, I don't like people who don't believe in that

[Speaker 2] But currently I work at grocery store and need to be taxed less.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, lower income people need less taxes to be able to support themselves

[Speaker 2] What is your fancy degree in?

[Speaker 1] I got my undergrad in economics and my masters in personal finance

[Speaker 2] Oh I see, do you wear fancy clothes?

I work in finance.

I'm an aspiring actress.
I think I'll be famous one day.
I work at a grocery store.

[Speaker 1] I wonder, what kind of film do you hope to be in one day?

[Speaker 2] I would love to be in a fantasy film like Lord of the Rings. What kind of films do you like?

[Speaker 1] I like matrix, how about you?

[Speaker 2] A lot of historicals, but basically anything with good costumes. The ones in the Matrix were very slick.

[Speaker 1] the internal meaning is more important in Matrix I think.

[Speaker 2] Yes, but I think a lot of that is conveyed through costuming. The difference between the rough textures in the real world and the very smooth, almost cg-looking ones in the Matrix itself conveys a lot of information on its own, for example.

[Speaker 1] I know, so you want to be famous based on costuming or similar way?

[Speaker 2] Not particularly, I just think it helps your acting when you get to wear clothing that expresses the character, too. What do you think of being famous?

[Speaker 1] I think it should be achieved by real practice

[Speaker 2] What do you mean by real practice? Like, real skill?

[Speaker 1] example you can be famous by good performance in athletes games, in good engineering projects, in brave support in disasters like fireman, etc.,

[Speaker 2] Right, that makes sense. Would you ever want to be famous?

I work in finance.
I like the movie The Matrix.

I'm an aspiring actress.

I think I'll be famous one day. I don't want to be famous.

I work at a grocery store.

I like the matrix. I like historical movies.

[Speaker 1] How are things going at the grocery store?

[Speaker 2] Slow. But i love checking people out and asking them about their day. I try a different accent with each person.

[Speaker 1] What's your favorite accent to use?

[Speaker 2] Russian! It surprises people every time. I usually get asked why i came to America.

[Speaker 1] There use to be a lot of good acting roles for Russians in the 80's and 90's.  Especially with Spy and war movies.

[Speaker 2] Do you have any favorites?

[Speaker 1] I liked Rocky 4, a classic America vs. Russia in the cold war era.  How about you?

[Speaker 2] My favorite is Slueth. There are only two characters, but there is so much tension, you are on the edge of your chair the entire time.

[Speaker 1] Maybe your big break will be portraying a Russian in a movie.  You could be like Jennifer Lawrence in Red Sparrow.

[Speaker 2] J. Law is so incredibly talented. I wish i could be like her. What about you? What movie star would play you if your life was a movie?

[Speaker 1] I'd like to see Leonardo Dicpario play me, I think he's a great actor.  It could be like the Wolf of Wall Street.

[Speaker 2] Wow! I never thought that finance was exciting. Do you enjoy your job?

[Speaker 1] I am great, just taking a break from a great book enders game

[Speaker 2] It has been a long day, I work remotely from home, how about you?

[Speaker 1] Same here, retired now so when I'm not gardening I'm working.

[Speaker 2] I'm ready to take blue jello break. I love it!

[Speaker 1] Blueberry? I love strawberry, I also love fresh cut veggies.

[Speaker 2] No gardening her today, rainy. It is making my 10 cats very clingy!

[Speaker 1] You are going to start coughing up hairballs with that many!

[Speaker 2] Very funny! I need to leave soon, I have haircut appointment, way too long!

[Speaker 1] Are you going to get it cut really short?

[Speaker 2] I should, no one sees me here at home. Any plans yourself today?

[Speaker 1] Not really just cuddling up with a good book and a warm fire.

[Speaker 2] Sounds lovely. Any book recommendations for me?

I am from Kentucky.

I am from Ohio. I am a cat lover.
I am employed and work remotely.
I own 10 cats.
I am getting a haircut soon.
I live alone.

[Speaker 1] How did your haircut go?

[Speaker 2] It went really well! It was hard to cut off so much, but I think it looks pretty good!

[Speaker 1] That's good! My haircuts take a week to recover.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it takes awhile to get used to something new. My cats have finally gotten used to it, I think.

[Speaker 1] They don't like change. You ever throw them a catnip party?

[Speaker 2] I have! I usually do it when a birthday comes around. About seven of them like it, so the majority. I give cat treats to the ones that don't like it.

[Speaker 1] That must be quite a scene -- 7 cats flying on 'nip! You should take a video

[Speaker 2] It is very funny! Gizmo has a birthday next month, I'll send you a video!

[Speaker 1] I have some catnip growing in my garden. I'll send the Giz a bouquet!

[Speaker 2] Aw, he would love that, thanks! How is the garden coming along?

[Speaker 1] Summer was great. Tomatoes were really good this year. Pretty dormant now with the cold weather.

[Speaker 2] Did you can a bunch? My grandma used to make a bunch of spaghetti sauce when she had a good tomato crop.

I am from Kentucky. I am retired.

my hair grows back in two weeks.

I have a garden. I grow catnip and tomatoes in my garden.

I am from Ohio.

I work remotely.

I own 10 cats. One of my cats is named Gizmo.

I live alone.

I am getting a haircut soon. I used to have long hair.

[Speaker 1] How is your grandma and her garden doing

[Speaker 2] She is doing well. Thank you for asking! Oh my gosh, it was SO funny! Last weekend Gizmo ate one of the tomatoes from the garden and spread tomato juice all over the house! It was such a mess, but so funny!

[Speaker 1] Oh no! I'll have to keep an eye on my cats and the tomatoes now! That's hilarious. Did you get the juice cleaned up OK?

[Speaker 2] Yes, thank goodness! How have your tomatoes been doing this year?

[Speaker 1] They're growing surprisingly well! We've been having lots of sun lately, so they're growing really big! Does you grandma have any favorite recipes for when the tomatoes are ripe?

[Speaker 2] Nice! She makes a lot of tomato sauce! It's the best way to use up any extra tomatoes. Last year we accidentally grew too many cherry tomatoes. She made the BEST sauce! I'll see if I can get her to write the recipe down. Do you have any favorite recipes?

[Speaker 1] I'm a big pasta fan, so that's perfect! I usually go for pesto, but I'll have to throw homemade tomato sauce into the rotation!

[Speaker 2] Perfect! You will love her recipe! What do you do with the catnip you harvest?

[Speaker 1] I like to bag it up and use it as cat toys. Some of my friends have cats too, so they make great gifts. I'll have to send some your way!

[Speaker 2] That would be awesome! I know Gizmo and all the others would love that! Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 1] I have two cats: one older one and a baby kitten I found recently. They're so sweet!

[Speaker 2] Awww. How adorable. Does the older cat like the kitten? So kind of you to take the kitten in!

I am from Kentucky. I am retired.

my hair grows back in two weeks.

I enjoy pasta. I enjoy pesto sauce.

I have friends that own cats. I have two cats.

I am from Ohio.

I work remotely.

I live alone.

My grandma had a garden. my grandma had tomatos in the garden. my grandma knows how to cook. My grandma makes tomato sauce.

[Speaker 1] Is your grandma's sauce recipe difficult to make?

[Speaker 2] No, just takes a little practice to get a feel of how much of each ingredient to add. Do you make your own tomato sauce from your tomatos?

[Speaker 1] I use them for anything I can.  I like having my own fresh ones versus buying at a store where who knows how they were grown.  Does your grandma use sugar in her recipe?

[Speaker 2] About half a teaspoon. Doesn't want it too sweet. And so true about knowing where they come from. I love using some of her extras to make my own salsa!

[Speaker 1] Do you use chili peppers in your salsa, because I am thinking about growing some of those and jalapenos in my garden.

[Speaker 2] Yep! I use 2 jalapenos and 2 serrano peppers. It adds a bit of a kick but it is so good! And you should definitely plant the pepper plants because they are so good fresh and grow quickly. My grandma also has a lime tree so I will grab a couple from there to squeeze the juice for the salsa also. Do you grow cilantro?

[Speaker 1] no, I dont. I have the condition where cilantro tastes like soap.  So I have been using parsley and basil.  For some reason though I cant get those to grow in my garden

[Speaker 2] Oh man! So glad I don't have that condition because I love the taste of cilantro. Same for us on parsley and basil and have thought about growing it inside but I don't think the cats will let that happen.

[Speaker 1] Maybe my carts are eating mine!  I know they go for the catnip but never considered the parsley and basil.  I'm going to try and plant those inside away from the cats!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, mine love the smell of any herbs or spices that they can get to! I love them and you definitely can't tell them no! Haha! Do you grow your catnip outside or inside? I'd like to start doing that.

[Speaker 1] I grow it outside.  I have a small covered area so it doesn't get too much sun and dry out.  With all your cats im surprised you haven't planted some sooner.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I've really missed the boat on that. I might need to grow a whole field of it to keep all of them happy though! Haha!

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah I'll sew anything! What do you do for a living?

[Speaker 2] I go to metal shows and enjoy life sleep in late the whole thing. And you?

[Speaker 1] Fun! I am a cashier at walmart during the day, but I sell the clothes I make too.

[Speaker 2] Cool! I will have to stop by for black hair dye and gel

[Speaker 1] I dye my hair too. I am making some fresh pies today

[Speaker 2] What color do you do? Short and spiky for me. Delicious!

[Speaker 1] Oh that is fun! I dye my hair dark brown, matches any outfit!

[Speaker 2] Haha makin a statement! The metal shows would like that, and the pies!

[Speaker 1] Oh yes! I season my pies with spices fresh from my garden!

[Speaker 2] Lovely! I'd have to garden after the shows and I sleep late

[Speaker 2] No problem just eating mashed potatoes which are my favorite

[Speaker 1] Oh that sounds good. Especially with a hamburger steak. I like triple cheeseburgers

[Speaker 2] Triple burgers my parents would not let me eat those in their house.

[Speaker 1] Well sometimes you just have to break the mold. Be iconoclastic.

[Speaker 2] Very true that describes my brother who served in the military

[Speaker 1] An iconoclastic soldier. Like bill murray in that movie. Cant remember.

[Speaker 2] I do not know about that movie

[Speaker 1] Stripes. Its called stripes. Your brother must be a funny guy.

[Speaker 2] To some maybe. I watch a lot of game of thrones. Its a favorite

[Speaker 1] I still haven't seen it. I don't care for medieval fantasy much. Its ok.

[Speaker 2] I didn't care for it in the beginning but the popularity drew me

I like eating triple cheeseburgers.
I don't like medieval fantasy.

Mashed potatoes are my favorite.

I could not eat triple burgers in my house growing up.

My brother was in the military.

My favorite show is Game of Thrones.

I started watching Game of Thrones due to its popularity.

[Speaker 1] Hey there, have you finished watching all of Game of Thrones, what did you think of its final season?

[Speaker 2] I have not finished it yet, but I am excited to!

[Speaker 1] Where are you at in Game of Thrones?

[Speaker 2] I am about to start the final season! What have you been watching lately?

[Speaker 1] I've been watching WandaVision. It's pretty exciting, if a slow burn. Have you checked it out?

[Speaker 2] I haven't yet, but I have heard it's popular so I'll have to check it out!

[Speaker 1] I liked it a lot more than Game of Thrones, sci-fi is more my genre. It was well made though. Do you think the hype was right?

[Speaker 2] I think it may have been a little over hyped, but I really like it. What have you been up to lately?

[Speaker 1] This n that, I picked up a few new hobbies. What about you?

[Speaker 2] I've been into cooking lately. I like to make triple burgers since I couldn't have them growing up.

[Speaker 1] Oooh, I do love those. They're terrible for you though, gotta be careful, lol.

[Speaker 2] I try to limit the amount I eat, but they are just so good!

I like eating triple cheeseburgers.

I don't like medieval fantasy.

I have watched all of Game of Thrones.

Mashed potatoes are my favorite. I like cooking.

My brother was in the military.

My favorite show is Game of Thrones. I haven't finished Game of Thrones yet.

I haven't seen WandaVision yet.

[Speaker 1] I hope you like WandaVision.

[Speaker 2] Me too! I've heard nothing but great things, and I'm a big fan of the movies. Are you a big Marvel fan?

[Speaker 1] Yes! I loved End Game. Who is your favorite character?

[Speaker 2] I'm a big fan of Bucky Barnes–the metal arm is just so cool! How about you? Who's your favorite?

[Speaker 1] Spiderman for sure. I love that he just wants to be a part of the team and looks up to Tony, but then ultimately has to become his own hero his own way.

[Speaker 2] Oooh that's such a good one. I'm a sucker for a coming-of-age story.

[Speaker 1] Me, too. I think its because i never did anything crazy when I was growing up. I never really acted out or went on adventures. What about you? Were you a wild child?

[Speaker 2] I wasn't super wild either. I spent most of my free time helping my mom out in the kitchen. She's such a good cook! What did you do for fun as a kid?

[Speaker 1] Played outside with my brothers. We lived near a forest so we were out exploring a lot. What are some of your favorite foods that you made with your mom?

[Speaker 2] That's so fun! I grew up in the city so I never had much of a forest to play in. Anything with potatoes was great! Younger me really liked getting to mash them up.

[Speaker 1] Hahaha did you help your mom clean up in the kitchen too? Or were you just there to mash and get your hands sticky?

[Speaker 2] Oh mash and get sticky all the way! I'm better at cleaning up now, but back then I made the biggest messes.

I like eating triple cheeseburgers.

I don't like medieval fantasy. I have watched all of Game of Thrones.

I like WandaVision more than Game of Thrones. I'm a fan of Marvel movies, especially Avengers: Endgame. I am a fan of Spiderman.

I enjoy coming-of-age stories. I didn't do anything very crazy in my youth.

I grew up near a forest, which I enjoyed exploring. I have brothers.

My brother was in the military.

I haven't seen WandaVision yet. I'm a fan of Marvel movies. I am a fan of the Marvel character, Bucky Barnes. I enjoy coming-of-age stories.

Growing up, I enjoyed helping my mom in the kitchen. I was not a "wild child" in my youth. I was a messy child, but I'm tidier now.

I crew up in a city.

[Speaker 1] Oh my gosh, I just heard a rumor that WandaVision might have a second season. I hope it's true!! Hurry up and watch Season 1 so we can (hopefully!) watch Season 2 together. :)

[Speaker 2] I have been putting off watching  WandaVision. I have been watching old Game of Thrones

[Speaker 1] I can't really blame you for that. Which episode did you last watch?

[Speaker 2] I am watching them in random order this time. I watched "What Is Dead May Never Die" from season 2

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that's a good for sure. Of course, they are all good. What is your favorite part of that one?

[Speaker 2] when they found the spy. I like cloak and dagger spy stuff

[Speaker 1] Cool. I'm telling you that you have to check out WandaVision. You are going to love it.

[Speaker 2] so what is WandaVision about again? I forgot

[Speaker 1] Three weeks after the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019),[1] Wanda Maximoff and Vision are living an idyllic suburban life in the town of Westview, New Jersey, trying to conceal their true natures. As their surroundings begin to move through different decades and they encounter various television tropes, the couple suspects that things are not as they seem.

[Speaker 2] any of the "Avengers" going to be in it?

[Speaker 1] Of course, Wanda is in it :p We'll see what the next season holds.

[Speaker 2] if Bucky Barnes.is in it, I surely going to watch it

[Speaker 1] My enjoy a good mystery flavor cake.

[Speaker 2] I love beets, so if I could find a beet cake, that would be great.

[Speaker 1] My neighbors pool guy likes cake, I lust after him.

[Speaker 2] No pools here. Farming life doesn't give me time to swim.

[Speaker 1] I argue with myself more than I argue with myself.

[Speaker 2] Have you gotten any help? I really like bears.

[Speaker 1] I am all good with my cake!

[Speaker 2] Do you bake the cake or buy the cake?

[Speaker 1] I love homemade desserts. So do my coworkers... Lol

[Speaker 2] Coworkers? Are you able to work with your hearing voices and all?

[Speaker 1] I think my students hear them too

[Speaker 2] Wow. You are a teacher?


I learned piano at age 6.
I'm a vegan.
I am a fan of system of a down.
I'm trying to play in a local band.

My favorite show ever is game of thrones.

I work from home.

I have been to a few renaissance fairs.

I like cosplay.

I enjoy playing music.
I only eat plants.
I like to listen to terrible music.
I'm a guitar player.

I enjoy hbo originals.

I have my office in my house.

I went to this place where people dressed up as knights a couple of times.

I love dressing up as characters.

[Speaker 1] Hey whats up I'm awesome how about you

[Speaker 2] I can't get enough game of thrones. It is my favorite show ever.

[Speaker 1] No time to watch that I am trying to start a band like system of a down

[Speaker 2] I am awesome too. My job involves working at home and that makes it even better.

[Speaker 1] Hey man I'm a vegan and that is offensive to my cult

[Speaker 2] Soad is ok but I think cosplay is better

[Speaker 1] Dude I have been playing coldplay on my piano since I was 6

[Speaker 2] Everything is some kind of cult. Like all of the renaissance fairs I go to.

[Speaker 1] I meant to write culture but I guess cult is fitting

[Speaker 2] They have a few good songs. I listened to them sometimes when I work at home.

[Speaker 1] Rad bro that is awesome dude super duper

[Speaker 2] Cult or culture. Well its all some kind of belief system... Of a down.

[Speaker 1] Its a cult who are we trying to fool

[Speaker 2] Not much piano in soad but you can get a job at the renaissance fair

I am trying to start a band.

I am a vegan. I am a fan of system of a down.

I play piano.

I like the TV show Game of Thrones.
I work from home.
I like cosplay.
I have been to a few renaissance fairs.

[Speaker 1] Hey hows it going, any new cosplay ideas lately?

[Speaker 2] I haven't really, I've been neglecting it recently which isn't like me. Have you managed to get any further with starting the band?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I finally found a bass player! Just need a good drummer and we're set. You should do a Game of Thrones character!

[Speaker 2] You are so close in that case! What will you do in the band? I should, good idea!

[Speaker 1] Well, I want to mash up metal and traditional Irish music. Try to picture a heavy metal sea shanty. Does that sound awful or interesting?

[Speaker 2] Wow that's unusual, I like the sound of that. No definitely interesting! What a niche! So how long have you been a vegan for? I keep trying to adopt the lifestyle but I'm not committed enough yet.

[Speaker 1] My parents were vegan, so it is really all I've ever known. I recommend taking baby steps, though. Maybe start by cutting out red meat first, then all meat, then cheese, etc. What motivated you to want to go vegan?

[Speaker 2] That's the best way I think, it's hard to transition once you have lived with meat your whole life. Baby steps is a good idea. I'm mainly interested from the environmental perspective, but I also feel guilty about eating meat. Do you enjoy the meat alternatives that are available? Can you recommend any?

[Speaker 1] I've tried them, and they're fine, but for me it is about showcasing vegetables, not trying to replace or substitute meat. What are your favorite vegetables?

[Speaker 2] Okay, sure. That makes sense. I love broccoli and avocado. What are your favourites?

[Speaker 1] I love broccoli too, but am allergic to avocados! I also love carrots, bok choi, potatoes and asparagus.

[Speaker 2] Omg, I didn't realise people could be allergic to avocados, have you always been or did your allergy develop as an adult? I agree with asparagus. Love it.

I am a fan of system of a down.

I play piano.

I love broccoli, carrots, bok choi,potatoes and asparagus. I am allergic to avocados.

I like the TV show Game of Thrones.

I work from home.

I like cosplay.

I have been to a few renaissance fairs.

I care about the environment.

I love broccoli, avocados, asparagus.

[Speaker 1] We found a drummer for the band!

[Speaker 2] Awesome, where did you find them?

[Speaker 1] I was chatting with some people at Whole Foods and it came up that one of them was a drummer, and they decided they'd try it out! I really hope they work out, we've been looking for one for so long.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome when things work out like that. I really hope they fit in to the band well. When is your first time getting together?

[Speaker 1] They're coming over this weekend and we're gonna see what they can do. You should come over and watch, I bet it's gonna be quite a show!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that'd be great, thanks. Did you get any interesting food at Whole Foods? I'm still trying to find good vegan recipes.

[Speaker 1] We picked up some bok choi, a few kinds of potatoes, some huge onions, some tomatoes, and some beans. I think we're gonna make some vegan chili. Maybe we can make a bunch so you can try some when you come over!

[Speaker 2] Definitely. That sounds delicious, I love chili! Do you find it easy to keep to a vegan diet?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, it's super easy! After a while even the thought of eating meat seems strange. It just sucks being allergic to one of the best things available :(

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that's such a shame. When I'm looking at vegan recipes, so many of them have avocado in them. But that chili sounds awesome. I think with your help I be able to get into the swing of things as I really want to be vegan.

[Speaker 1] That's great to hear! Do you want a side of asparagus to go with the chili? We can go pick some up real quick tomorrow.

[Speaker 2] You know I love asparagus. That sounds great. Really looking forward to it. Good music, food and company. All I need is a box set of Game of Thrones and that's the perfect evening!

I am a fan of system of a down.

I play piano. I am in a band. The band is looking for a drummer. I want to mash up metal and irish music.

I am a vegan.  I have vegan parents. I have eaten meal alternatives. I have food allergies.

I like the TV show Game of Thrones.

I work from home.

I like cosplay.

I have been to a few renaissance fairs.

I'm trying to be vegan, but not fully vegan yet. I care about the environment. I love broccoli, avocados, asparagus.

I like Game of Thrones.

[Speaker 1] I am going to start Game of Thrones, can I borrow some DVDs?

[Speaker 2] I really don't  have Game of thrones DVDs. I watched it on Netflix

[Speaker 1] I didn't know it was streaming on Netflix. That's good to know, I can watch it there. How has working from home been?

[Speaker 2] It has been a bit boring but it gives me time to investigate vegan recipes while i work. Do you have nay suggestions?

[Speaker 1] I have lots! I'll email you some of my favorites. How do you feel about tofu? I've never been crazy about it.

[Speaker 2] To be honest. I've never tried it. Do you tour with your  band and try different vegan foods on your travels?

[Speaker 1] We are preparing for a tour now. We found someone to fill in on the drums until we can find someone permanent, so we start our tour next month. I do plan on trying different vegan spots while we are on the road.

[Speaker 2] That's great. My brother is a wiz on drums. Can he try out for the band?

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! I had no idea he played. Tell him to come by our garage this Friday night at 7:00. We have a huge drum kit, so he doesn't need to bring his unless he's more comfortable using them. Have you been to any renaissance fairs recently?

[Speaker 2] Thanks. I'll let him know. He'll be so excited. I haven't been to any fairs recently but I have one planned for next month. I can't wait.

[Speaker 1] That should be really fun. What do you dress up as? I assume you dress up since you like cosplay?

[Speaker 2] I dress up as the Night King in Game of Thrones..He is a baddie

[Speaker 1] I've a couple of sisters that think that s the worst part too

[Speaker 2] I'm an only child. My family is my husband, who I married in 2016.

[Speaker 1] My sisters and my mother are my only family really. Mom is a damn fine orthodontist

[Speaker 2] Nice! Where are you living?

[Speaker 1] I can't stop thinking about how cool it is that you live on a boat. What's that like?

[Speaker 2] I absolutely love living on a boat. I didn't think it would be such fun in the beginning but my husband talked me into it. There is a whole group of people who live on their boats. It gives us a lot of freedom, not to mention no grass to cut.

[Speaker 1] Oh yes!! Grass, we don't have much of that here either. LOL! That sounds awesome to be able to just go out on the water whenever you like. I'm sure it was strange at first, but I could definitely get used to that! What type of boat do you live on again?

[Speaker 2] It is a cabin cruiser. We plan to live on the boat for a few years, until we decide to start having kids. It is a carefree lifestyle, except for boat maintenance, of course. We dock 5 days a week so we can work and then we sail around on the weekend. How is your business doing? My salon has been doing really good.

[Speaker 1] Wow, that sounds perfect! The cupcake business is doing great, we have been super busy with orders flying in! It's so nice to be able to go to work everyday doing something you love. It seems cupcakes are a favorite for just about anyone.

[Speaker 2] It really is nice to have a passion for what you do. I love my work also. I have clients that have been with me for a long time. I'm going to have to come over and get some cupcakes to have a client appreciation day soon.

[Speaker 1] I agree! Yes, you should come over and get some, I'll give you a great deal! We have some really exciting new flavors I want to try out, like Lemon Chocolate Ganache and Cherry Cordial Sundae to name a few. My sister says her favorite is Brisket Buckle though. That one may be a little too unique for my taste.

[Speaker 2] I would hesitate on the Brisket Buckle, but the others sound delicious! How is you haven't tasted all your cupcakes? I don't think I could resist if I worked there. How is your mother doing? I would like to set up an appointment with her. I think my teeth have shifted a bit. I wore braces as a child but I think I need a consult to see if I need to get fitted for them again before I really have problems.

[Speaker 1] LOL, the problem is I have tasted all of them, my pants are getting a bit tight! I like to try out flavors on people before I send them to market, makes it better to have more than just my opinion. My mother is doing great, thank you for asking. She would love to see you and could definitely help with the shifting. You should call her. I just found out I have to get a night guard, I've been grinding my teeth, uggh.

[Speaker 2] I have a basketball tournament coming up this month, but after that I will give her a call. How are your sisters, are they your tasting guinea pigs? I really will set up a date with you over the summer to get a large order for my clients, I'm sure they will appreciate the special touch.

[Speaker 1] A basketball tournament, how exciting! They are good, we're all just peas in a pod. We have Brunch every sunday without fail! I wouldn't know what to do without them. Yes, they taste all my creations and even help me come up with flavors, although I don't always agree with them. Please do, we will definitely do everything to make your clients happy:)

[Speaker 2] Glad everyone is well. I need to get a list of all your flavors if that is something that you can email or text to me. I will go over the list and try to narrow it down to my favorites. That is going to be difficult with all the flavors you offer. You certainly do keep yourself busy. You have a wonderful business that the community really appreciates.

I have a couple of sisters.

I don't have a lawn.

I am a hairdresser. I love my work. I own a salon.

I live on a cabin cruiser.

My teeth need fixing. I wore braces as a child.

[Speaker 1] Are you ready for your basketball tournament?

[Speaker 2] yes very nervous but very excited too, it will be great fun

[Speaker 1] Well, I'm quite sure that you will do great! How is your salon doing? Have you guys been busy with clients last week?

[Speaker 2] yes its always busy at the salon, I ve mentioned you to my clients and how you guys make amazing cupcakes, how is the business going?

[Speaker 1] I'm glad to hear that things are doing well at the salon! Cupcake business is going great. Me and my family were actually talking about opening a second shop. This is why more clients will help us a lot!

[Speaker 2] that sounds amazing, I'm very happy for you guys, which cupcake is the best seller? if I didn't have issues with my teeth I would be in the bakery day in day out!

[Speaker 1] Thanks! Funny enough, during the last week the best seller was my sister's favorite Brisket Buckle! Have you managed to book an appointment to check you teeth?

[Speaker 2] I ve been meaning to but with the salon and the basketball tournament, I ve been really busy and postponing it but I will get round to it don't you worry. I bet your mother would be annoyed by a client like me

[Speaker 1] I see what you mean. Also, your 5 years wedding anniversary is coming soon. How are you feeling about it? Oh, absolutely! You know what's my mother is like haha

[Speaker 2] 5 years, I know, can't believe its been so long, I think I might dye my hair a different colour for my anniversary haha I don't have anything planned out quite yet I'm sure my husband will surprise me

[Speaker 1] You know what they say. When you are happy - time flies. What a great idea! Definitely, as far as I remember he was always great with surprises.

[Speaker 2] are you still watching that programme Silicon Valley? is that something you watch with your mum and sister?

I have a couple of sisters.My sisters and mother are my only family. My mother is an orthodontist.

I live on a cabin cruiser.

I have teeth issues.

[Speaker 1] I was wondering what it is like being an only child? When my sisters got on my nerves I would wish I was one.

[Speaker 2] No I don't think it's something you'd really enjoy. It can get lonely often.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I guess you're right, I didn't think of it that way, how's it like being married>

[Speaker 2] Oh, it's been great. The best five years have honestly been the best of my life, except for my darn teeth of course!

[Speaker 1] Oh well you should come over to my mom's place she'll fix them right up for you free of charge as a thank you for helping us expand our cupcake business. Would you be interested in getting them fixed? Maybe even before your basketball tournament!

[Speaker 2] Oh gosh! That would be amazing. If I could get them done before the tournament that would be a lot less stress on my mind!

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! Healthy teeth are a game-changer, and you could even change up your hair and dye it a new color just in time to take the stage at the tournament. Do you change your hair often?

[Speaker 2] I change my hair very often! It's purple now, I'm thinking about blue or red next. What do you think?

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, I think both would look great but I lean towards red, do you change your hair yourself at the salon or does someone else do it for you elsewhere?

[Speaker 1] I don't have any favorite I just into Music so whomsoever makes good music I listen to them. Do you have any favorite  author?

[Speaker 2] Yes, my favorite author is Ernest Hemingway. I read some of his short stories today.

[Speaker 1] Then you could recommend some of his writing for me to read.

[Speaker 2] My favorite of his books is A Farewell to Arms, but he has some short story collections that are a good place to start.

[Speaker 1] Definitely I will read and what about those publishing companies?

[Speaker 1] It's going pretty good, although recently I've been watching too much Grey's Anatomy to get much done. The new season came out, so I couldn't help myself.

[Speaker 2] I really like rock music, I know you mentioned that you like classical music, is that the type of music that you will pursue or will you be doing something different?

[Speaker 1] Yes, classical and jazz are my favorites so those are the two I like writing and composing the most. Do you have a favorite rock artist?

[Speaker 2] that sounds great, I would love to hear your compositions someday. I love green day, nickleback and some indie rock like Radiohead, manic street preachers, music gets me through everything but I do a lot of reading it keeps me at peace. how about you, what keeps you at peace?

[Speaker 2] Ahh okay, i have seen a few episode of the wire. I usually like the bad guy, but in some cases the tough guy. Who is your favorite character in Grey's anatomy?

[Speaker 1] I really liked Sandra Oh's character. She won't be returning to the show, so I am a bit sad. Sometimes the best characters are good because of the actors, who need to move on to bigger things.

[Speaker 2] She was very good, she played her character so well. But that is true they just need to move on to something else that they will enjoy.

[Speaker 1] So, outside of the bright light box, you like to read and write. Hemingway is a favorite of yours? I heard that Hemingway rewrote the ending of one of his books over 40 times! He wanted to get things just perfect.

[Speaker 2] Yes i love to read and especially write my own stories. It is a favorite of mine. That is true he did do that, sometimes it just take's a while to get things the way you imagine them to be.

[Speaker 1] He lived a rich and interesting life. Fishing, hunting, bull fights, war...Lots of experience to draw on for his stories. He was not able to attend his Nobel prize awards ceremony because of his health. What sort of stuff do you write?

[Speaker 2] Yes it is very sad they he was not able to make it, he deserved that Noble prize award he worked very hard for it. I tend to write more fantasy books, similar to vampire diaries kind of style.

I play music in my spare time.

I live in nashville.

I work in academia at a local university.

My dad works offshore.
I work as a lifeguard.
I love the chainsmokers.
I love to play tennis.

I take pride in using fresh produce when cooking.

I like to jam.

The home of country music is where I reside.

I am employed at a college.

My father has a job on an oil rig.
I save lives.
I like music.
I am a huge serena williams fan.

[Speaker 1] How are you? Its a great morning here in nashville.

[Speaker 2] I don't have a great morning here

[Speaker 1] Oh no. You should play some music, that's what I do in my spare time.

[Speaker 2] I'll give it a try

[Speaker 1] I am about to go to my local farmers market, I go every weekend.

[Speaker 2] Cool. I am a lifeguard what do you do?

[Speaker 1] I am a professor at tennessee state.

[Speaker 2] Really? Can you get me a job. I am abd.

[Speaker 1] What is your course of study? I can find out.

[Speaker 2] History. Went for the big money field.

[Speaker 1] Maybe you can become a history teacher at your local school?

[Speaker 2] I think I would rather stay in lifeguarding honestly

[Speaker 1] Teaching is a wonderful job. And you can lifeguard in the summer.

[Speaker 2] One of my parents is an offshore driller. Maybe I do that.

[Speaker 1] Do they make a lot of money? My husband needs a job.

[Speaker 2] They do but it is risky. Remember deepwater horizon?

I live in Nashville.
I play music as a hobby.
I go to the farmer's market weekly.
I'm a professor at Tennessee State.
I have a husband.

I work as a lifeguard.

One parent works as an offshore driller.

[Speaker 1] Have you thought more about what you want to do?

[Speaker 2] My dad is really pressuring me to join him as a driller, but it just isn't appealing to me. I like the water, and it's good money, but I am leaning more towards becoming a professor of history.

[Speaker 1] I am sorry to hear that your dad is pressuring you. I think you should do what interests you! If you want to become a professor of history then make your way through it, and just do it. I am sure your dad will understand eventually. Talking about being a professor, I, myself am a professor at Tennessee State, and I love being a professor.

[Speaker 2] If you don't mind me asking, how is the pay? Everyone always talks about how educators don't make a lot, so that is a little worrisome. I'm going to owe a lot from student loans.

[Speaker 1] The pay is just an average pay to be honest. I mean, I am sure you are aware that professors aren't actually given a whole lot of money, but I do believe that you should do what you really want to do instead of just doing what you're told to do. You need to enjoy your work every single day, and that is what I actually feel every single day.

[Speaker 2] Does your school ever offer paid internships? It'd be great if I could get a taste of the professor life before fully committing.

[Speaker 1] Yes they actually do. I think it really depends on what part of the state you're in. I live in Nashville, and they do offer paid internships, and it really does help. Where do you live?

[Speaker 2] I live in Nashville, as well! Maybe you could put in a good word for me. I've had my current job for five years, so I have great references.

[Speaker 1] Sure, I would love to help you out with that. What is your current job? What do you work as?

[Speaker 2] I'm currently a lifeguard. I know that it is not exactly a related job, but in a way it is. I deal with all sorts of people, of all ages, every shift.

[Speaker 1] Every job matters when you need to show your resume as well as references as long as you have good references, I don't think anyone actually cares what you do. I'd be happy to help you. Please do send me your details, and I could put in a good word for you.

[Speaker 2] I really appreciate it! I'll gather all of the needed information, and send it to you by the end of the week. Thank you so much!

I live in Nashville.
I play music as a hobby.
I go to the farmer's market weekly.
I have a husband.
I am a professor at Tennessee State.
I enjoy my work.

I am currently a student studying history. I have student loans.

I work as a lifeguard for 5 years.

My dad is an offshore driller. I want to become a history professor.

I live in Nashville.

[Speaker 1] I spoke with a colleague and have some more details on paid internships. I think that might work for you.

[Speaker 2] That's great news, thank you. I was getting a little worried I wouldn't be able to get any relevant experience before graduating.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure we can work something out. I know that's how I got to the position I'm in now. Are there any specific types of history you want to specialise in, or a more generalist?

[Speaker 2] Art history fascinates me, so I think that'd be a good thing to try to focus on. What does your colleague teach?

[Speaker 1] Well that could work. We cover a broad range. US history, non-US, but we've got a gap in our art history syllabus at the moment. We have one of the older professors who will be retiring soon, he used to run a course on it so maybe we could team you up.

[Speaker 2] That'd be great! Anything to not end up on an oil rig like my dad.

[Speaker 1] I'll get some details together and see what we can do. How is your dad? I bet you miss him?

[Speaker 2] He's doing fine, last I heard he was getting some newbies squared away for the rig life. He's coming home for a little next month so I'm gonna visit him then.

[Speaker 1] That will be nice for you to be able to get together then. How long is it before you graduate?

[Speaker 2] The rest of this semester and then another year. Hopefully long enough to finish that internship if it works out!

[Speaker 1] Not too long to go then. Yeah, it will be great for you to get some experience under your belt. Our university has a track record of keeping interns after graduation. Not to get your hopes up, but it's a great place to work.

[Speaker 2] I'm just getting more and more excited about it, haha! Oh, have you still been keeping up with your music?

I live in Nashville.

I play music as a hobby.

I go to the farmer's market weekly.

I have a husband.

I am a professor at Tennessee State. I enjoy my work. I began my career with an internship.

[Speaker 2] Oh, they're going ok. I'm almost finished for the semester, and summer is right around the corner, so I'll get more hours at work. How's the new song coming?

[Speaker 1] It is going well, I think I almost finished it. Do you think about getting an internship ? It you will learn a lot with practical experience.

[Speaker 2] I have been thinking more about it. If you're still sure you can speak with someone about an internship at your university, that would be a great place to start. No pressure. My girlfriend is thinking of moving to North Carolina for school, so I'm also thinking about looking there.

[Speaker 1] I knw that have practical experience helped me a lot to fin a job after my studies. Why you girlfriend is moving away ?

[Speaker 2] She is thinking of going to school in North Carolina. It just depends what graduate programs she's offered. I am thinking I may go to graduate school too after I finish undergrad next year.

[Speaker 1] What you father thinks about your carrer plans ? Does he like the idea of you doing graduate studies ?

[Speaker 2] He does not really like the idea of me going to school at all. You would think any parent would be proud, but he said, "Why pay money to go to school to get a low-paying job when you can skip the school part and make more money on the oil rig than you ever would teaching?" My mom Cathy just stays out of it, but I think she's happy I'm in school. It's less dangerous.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, oil rigs are dangerous places. Did your dad ever had a work related injury ?

[Speaker 2] Yes, he is missing part of his pinky. He says it doesn't bother him any, and he got a big payout from his company. I am missing part of my pinky too from an accident I had when I was a kid. It is the only way my dad and I are alike. Sometimes I wonder if he is really my dad.

[Speaker 1] He did grow up in a different time than you, in his time it was feasible to be manual worker and earn good money, now it is more difficult to earn good money with specialized studies.

[Speaker 2] That is true and pretty insightful of you. There's no denying the money is good, but money is not important to me. I just want to do something I love the way he loves rigging.


I am a shy person but I love to sing.

Until recently I have never been able to sing in front of anyone.

Anyways I decided to give it a try and participated in an audition for a talent show.

I was accepted to participate.

My shyness made me panick and I didn't show up.

My favorite color is blue.

I have five cats.

My husband is the ceo of taco bell.

Madonna is my sister.

I am next in line to become queen of england.

When I am alone I belt out the most beautiful songs.

I have stage fright.

I tried out to be on stage.

I was approved.

I was so timid I didn't go.

I like bright colors.

I have too many felines.

My male mate is the chief executive officer of the place with the chalupas.

I'm related to a star.

I'm heir to the throne.

[Speaker 1] Hi, what do you like to do?

[Speaker 2] Hi! I'm very busy. I'm next in line to be queen of england

[Speaker 1] Wow, impressive. I love to sing, even though I'm shy.

[Speaker 2] Www! That is fun! When I've free time I spend it with my cats

[Speaker 1] I love cats! Yeah, I've never been able to sing in public until lately.

[Speaker 2] Oh really? Where? How did you decide to do it?

[Speaker 1] I agreed to participate in an audition for a talent show.

[Speaker 2] Cool. If you are any good I could introduce you to my sister

[Speaker 1] Well, I was accepted to audition, but I panicked and didn't go.

[Speaker 2] Www my sister had stage fright but she obviously got over it

[Speaker 1] Great! Who is your sister?

[Speaker 2] Madonna

[Speaker 1] The material sister!

[Speaker 2] Haha! Yeah. So she would encourage you to try again!!

[Speaker 1] She would! I think the stage is frightened of her!

[Speaker 2] Ll she can be a lot. We have a lot of strong people in our family

I love to sing.

I love cats.

I was in an audition for a talent show.

I didn't go to the audition because I panicked.

I am Royalty.
I have cats.
My sister is Madonna.

[Speaker 1] Because of what you said earlier, I decided to go to the audition.

[Speaker 2] How did the audition go?

[Speaker 1] I felt very nervous and I think it showed but they told me to come back for the next round!

[Speaker 2] That's a good sign! I would love to watch you perform sometime.

[Speaker 1] If I end up making it on the show you might get to watch every week! Fingers crossed! What should I sing for the next round?

[Speaker 2] I would love to see you sing a Madonna song. My sister would love that!

[Speaker 1] How did I know you'd say that. I'd have to pick something unique, not the same old covers you hear on every show.

[Speaker 2] Of course! You need to stand out to go far in the competition.

[Speaker 1] She must have a song or two that nobody has done yet. She's only been singing for decades! Hopefully I can last that long!

[Speaker 2] She has a song called Paradise that wasn't very popular, but sounds great! You should check it out!

[Speaker 1] How have I not heard of it? I'll check it out, hopefully it will wow the judges!

[Speaker 2] I am sure it will! Just make sure to stay calm, and I am sure you'll do great!

I love to sing.

I love cats.

I was in an audition for a talent show. I made it to the next round of the audition thanks to the encouragement from the other speaker.

I have to pick something unique for the audition.

I haven't heard of the Paradise song by Madonna.

I have cats.

My sister is Madonna. I know a lot about Madonna songs.

I convinced the other speaker to go to the audition earlier.

I want to see the other speaker perform.

[Speaker 1] Have you talked to your sister about recommending any songs for me?

[Speaker 2] She hasn't replied yet, I'm sorry she's a very busy person so it may take a few more hours. But I promise I will have talked to her by the time of your second audition. When is it by the way?

[Speaker 1] That's okay, my audition is in 3 weeks.

[Speaker 2] Okay well that's good at least we have a long time to prepare for it. Congratulations for getting through by the way I'm so proud you, just upset I couldn't have been there myself to hear it!

[Speaker 1] Thank you! Perhaps you could come see my next audition?

[Speaker 2] Yeah that would be great, if I'm not busy I will definitely be there! Did you listen to Paradise yet? Maybe you could give that a go if you liked it.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I did listen to it, it's a great song, I'm just not sure if its in my range. I suppose I could do a different version of it.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that could be a good idea, that would be very unique and different that's for sure, hopefully Madonna gets back to me soon, so she can give you some expert advice!

[Speaker 1] Yes me too! There is certainly plenty of time still. You mentioned earlier you have cats, how many do you have?

[Speaker 2] khjfagkfghfaghafgh. Sorry about that, speaking of my cats one just walked on the keyboard haha! But I have three cats one still a young kitten I got just 5 weeks ago!

[Speaker 1] Haha! I have two myself. They are both adults, so they are a bit easier to take care of then a young kitten!

[Speaker 2] Haha, yes that is true but, I have to say having a kitten again is so cute and soo much fun when she's not weeing all over my carpet that is!


I love to watch game shows.
I'm very religious.
I hate green beans.
I am easily agitated.
I just took a trip to london.

I've problems chewing my food.

I used to be able to run really fast.

My mother is in the hospital.

I am very familiar with hospitals and doctors.

I've a lot of medical bills.

I like to see tv.

I pray every day and go to church every week.

I don't like vegetables.

Things bother me frequently.

I've returned from visiting england.

It is difficult for me to eat.

When I was younger I ran everyday.

My mom is very I will.

I work as a doctor.

I just got out of the hospital so I have accumulated some debt.

[Speaker 1] I'm watching game show what are you doing

[Speaker 2] Sitting here in the hospital reading to my mother

[Speaker 1] Www whats the matter with her

[Speaker 2] She is 95 but still hanging in there, she has game shows on all day long

[Speaker 1] Wow that's awesome 95! I religious, she must have planted good seeds in her life

[Speaker 2] Just healthy living, never smoked, never drank

[Speaker 1] That is great to hear, I did smoke and drank few years but stopped

[Speaker 2] Me, chewing tobacco... Bad, bad, bad... Lost half my jaw

[Speaker 1] Wow, through cancer, sorry to hear that

[Speaker 2] Cannot chew, cannot swallow, medical bills up the wazoo... Sorry, do not get me started

[Speaker 1] My my my, that is crazy, at least you stopped and still here

[Speaker 2] Speaking of religious, I am praying for a miracle

[Speaker 1] And miracles do happen alot more than we see

[Speaker 2] Too much about me, how you doing?

[Speaker 1] Well just got back from london for work now just watching tv

[Speaker 2] Did you see the future king, that hunk william?

I am watching a game show.
I am religious.
I used to smoke and drink.
I was recently in London.

I am in a hospital with my mother.

My mother is old.

I have a lot of medical bills.

I am religious.

[Speaker 1] The game show I am watching is really interesting! What game shows do you and your mother watch?

[Speaker 2] My mother and I don't watch game shows, but we do watch a lot of religious programs. What show are you watching? Do you like to watch religious programs too?

[Speaker 1] I actually do enjoy religious programs.  I find it more enjoyable than Netflix! What kind of game shows do you watch?

[Speaker 2] I can't watch any game shows in the hospital. I remember you were recently in London, and I really wish I could get out of the hospital and go there soon! How was your trip?

[Speaker 1] It was great, it was nice to able to site see! do you enjoy travelling as well?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I love it, although with all my medical bills, I probably can't afford to travel for a while. What were your favorite tourist attractions in London?

[Speaker 1] I mainly enjoy the food and the wine tasting.  I enjoy going to various vineyards! If you were to travel, where would you go?

[Speaker 2] I don't know, but London sounds good from what you've said! Or maybe it would be nice to visit Jerusalem in my lifetime, since it's a holy land?

[Speaker 1] I would love to visit the Holy Land as well.  It's definitely on my bucket list but it's extremely expensive. I would have to save up for a bit

[Speaker 2] Same here. Starting to regret doing chewing tobacco, I could have saved the money I spent on it for these hospital bills and one last trip... Do you think you spent a lot on cigarettes and alcohol?

[Speaker 1] I don't spend money on cigarettes, but I overspend on alcohol.  Going to bars on the weekend adds up! have you tried quitting?

[Speaker 2] I have, and it's really tough! I'm working on it though :) Do you wish you could quit alcohol?

I am religious.

I used to smoke. I do not smoke cigarettes now. I drink a lot of alcohol.

I enjoy watching game shows.

I enjoy religious programs.

I was recently in London.

I enjoy the food and wine tasting in London. I enjoy visiting vineyards.

I am in a hospital with my mother.

My mother is old.

I have a lot of medical bills.

I am religious.

[Speaker 1] I signed up for a new wine tasting class with some friends of mine. I got to try some high quality California wines.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow. How did you find them? I would love to know more about wine, but I'm a bit of a novice.

[Speaker 1] To be honest, it was hard to tell the difference between the high quality ones, and the cheap $5 ones. But I think it was the experience that makes that type of thing fun.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I know what you mean. I have friends that come round and tell me why a certain wine is better, but I don't have a clue. What kind of wine do you prefer?

[Speaker 1] I enjoy any kind of red wine the most. I also just generally enjoy going to the vineyards and seeing all the grape vines and the people that meticulously care for them. I bought an old wine barrel that going to go in my den.

[Speaker 2] Oh nice. I prefer red too. It used to give me a headache but I prefer it as I find most whites too sweet. How did it compare to your wine tasting in London?

[Speaker 1] Seeing the vineyards in London was great, certainly the highlight of our trip, but I think I like the local ones better. I've heard red can give lots of people headaches too. What do you like to drink the best?

[Speaker 2] I like red wines like a Rioja, but I'll try anything really. Are you planning any more trips away?

[Speaker 1] I really want to go to Italy. Both to see the vineyards, but also go to the Vatican.  I hope to make it a little religious trip, but also about wine too.

[Speaker 2] I hear they have great wines there. Beautiful scenery too. I hope you get it sorted. I'm still saving up for my trip to Israel. I really hope I get to go.

[Speaker 1] Israel would be so exciting. I imagine it would be pretty cool to see all those religious sites.  It's actually been much easier to save money for these trips since I've stopped smoking.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I bet. I've cut down a lot and it's made such a big difference. I'm trying to use my trip as the motivation to quit altogether.

I am religious.

I enjoy watching game shows. I enjoy religious programs.

I was recently in London. I enjoy the food and wine tasting in London.

I have friends. I drink wine and I have knowledge about it. My knowledge about wine is limited. I enjoy the experience of the tasting more than learning. I prefer red wine. I enjoy visiting vineyards. I have a home with a den. I prefer local wine to those abroad.

I have not been to Israel.

I have not yet been to Italy, but I want to go. I would like to see the Vatican. I am religious -- possibly Catholic.

I am in a hospital with my mother. My mother is old.

I did chewing tobacco. I lost half my jaw. I am trying to quit the tobacco product. I have a lot of medical bills.

I am religious. I watch religious programs with my mom. We do not really watch game shows.

I enjoy traveling. I would like to visit Jerusalem. I have never been to Italy. I want to go to Israel.

I don't know much about wine, but I would like to know more. I prefer red wine. I don't like sweet wines.

I am trying to quit smoking.

[Speaker 1] I found a good travel deal for a religious tour of Italy.

[Speaker 2] That sounds pretty interesting. What does the tour cover?

[Speaker 1] It's all about the Baroque period of Italy! The tour company is called " If it ain't Baroque don't fix it".

[Speaker 2] Nice little play on words there. Is there going to be any wine? I love wine.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I think they have lots of wine in Italy. I am not sure how much wine they give on the tours... it might be BYOW. So that is an idea for a possible future trip! How is your old mother and all your medical debt?

[Speaker 2] She's still hanging in there as grumpy as always. My debt never seems to go anywhere no matter how much I pay off. I'll probably die with a big debt.

[Speaker 1] It's funny how something that is imaginary like debt causes to much real stress.

[Speaker 2] It sure does. It's a seemingly never ending payment. Do you have any medical bills?

[Speaker 1] No I have other debts. I wish we could just go to some sort of monetary confession to get our debts forgiven by doing so many "Hail Marys" or whatever.

[Speaker 2] Wouldn't that be awesome? I'd be there in a second to get rid of this debt. Although I suppose it's my own fault for chewing tobacco and losing half of my jaw.

[Speaker 1] I mean making money off of highly addictive products and then crushing the rest of your life with debt just to have decent medical care is a pretty messed up system that we got here.

[Speaker 2] I would have to agree. The prices for medical care is out of this world and needs to be looked at.


I use to compete in beauty pageants.
I m allergic to cats.
I love to have my nails done.
I've one little boy named owen.

I love all of my beautiful children.

My wife always puts a smile on my face.

My significant other makes me happy.

I enjoy being fake.

I will be glad when I don't have to work anymore.

[Speaker 1] Hi there, getting a pedicure now. Love the nail salon. How are you?

[Speaker 2] I am good! Waiting for my wife to get home.

[Speaker 1] How long are you married? I'm single but have a son named owen.

[Speaker 2] Twenty years, my wife makes me smile whenever I see her!

[Speaker 1] How sweet? Any pets? I've a dog but cat hair makes me sneeze.

[Speaker 2] No pets, but three beautiful children whom I love! What do you do?

[Speaker 1] I mentor beauty contestants. I used to compete years ago in pageants.

[Speaker 2] Nice! I tried to be an actor many years ago, now I work.

[Speaker 1] Work for what? I used to work for a big company but it was stressful.

[Speaker 2] A big company, I really look forward to retirement!

[Speaker 1] Same here, but it will be years before I can retire. Any hobbies?

[Speaker 2] Just my family! What about you?

[Speaker 1] I draw and love makeup tutorials on internet.

[Speaker 2] You sound driven! I am content with my life, are you?

I love the nail salon.

I'm single.  I have a son named Owen.

I have a dog.  I sneeze around cat hair.

I mentor beauty contestants.  I used to compete years ago in pageants.

I used to work for a big company.

I draw.  I watch makeup tutorials.

I have been married to my wife for 20 years.

I have 3 children.

I tried to be an actor.

I work for a big company.  I'm looking forward to retirement.

I am content with my life.

[Speaker 1] How are your wife and kids doing?

[Speaker 2] They are great, thanks for asking.  Watch any good tutorials lately?

[Speaker 1] I have. I was hoping to watch more, but my dog keeps interrupting me every time I try to concentrate.

[Speaker 2] What was your dogs name? I don't think you told me. I love dogs!

[Speaker 1] Her name is Penny and she's very high energy. Keeps me very busy but I enjoy her company. Do you have a dog?

[Speaker 2] No but I am thinking about getting the kids one for their birthday. What kind of dog should I get?

[Speaker 1] You definitely should get your kids a dog. You could probably find a good pet shelter to adopt from. That way you could make sure the dog gets along well with your kids before committing.

[Speaker 2] That's a great idea. Thank you! you always have the best suggestions. So what else do you have planned this week?

[Speaker 1] I'm planning on going to the nail salon again and I have a birthday party for my son later in the week that I have to plan for.

[Speaker 2] Oh wonderful. How old is he?

[Speaker 1] He'll be 10 next Friday.

[Speaker 2] Such a great age. I remember being 10. I had this job where I would do odd tasks that would sometimes take way longer than they should for the pay I was making. When did you get your first job?

I love the nail salon.

I'm single.  I have a 10-year-old son named Owen.

I have a dog named Penny.  I sneeze around cat hair.

I used to work for a big company.

I draw.  I watch makeup tutorials.

I have 3 children.

I tried to be an actor.

I am content with my life.

I like dogs.

I do not have a dog.

I had a job doing odd tasks at 10.

[Speaker 1] Have you decided on what type of dog you want yet?

[Speaker 2] No, still deciding. They are a big commitment so we want one that can be part of the family and the kids will enjoy. Any suggestions?

[Speaker 1] Penny is a golden lab and they are great with young kids like Owen. How old are your kids?

[Speaker 2] 18, 15 and 10. I love the sound of that. Problem is in our family, everyone has their own idea. How have you found Penny has helped your family?

[Speaker 1] Well Owen used to be very hyperactive. I always had to take him to different activities etc. But Penny plays well with him but also helps him be relaxed. He knows when she lies down to sleep that he knows to leave her be. He's really become more caring!

[Speaker 2] That sounds like it would really help our youngest. The older two are starting to want to do more adult things now. I just hope they will muck in and help care for the dog.

[Speaker 1] When Penny was a puppy, she took a lot of care. I would recommend taking some time of work to get your new pup settled and trained. Ang hide your shoes unless you want them to become dog food!

[Speaker 2] That's great advice. How are the beauty pageants going? I remember you used to do them. Nice that you can still keep involved.

I love the nail salon.

I have a golden lab named Penny.  I sneeze around cat hair.

I used to work for a big company.

I draw. I watch makeup tutorials.

I tried to be an actor.

I am content with my life.

I like dogs. I do not have a dog.

I had a job doing odd tasks at 10.

I have three kids aged 10, 15 and 18.

[Speaker 1] Have you decided on which Dog to bring Home?

[Speaker 2] No but we visited the shelter yesterday and met a few of the dogs they have there. They were all very sweet so we're torn on which one we loved best.

[Speaker 1] Any rescue is a great choice.  Penny was a rescue, and she is awesome!

[Speaker 2] Adopt, don't shop! Everyone I know who has a rescue says it was a great decision. Did you have any trouble with her adjusting to your home and family? That's my only concern.

[Speaker 1] No, not really.  A lot of it was just making sure the dog felt safe and that Owen knew she wasnt a toy.  They get along great!

[Speaker 2] That's comforting. I appreciate knowing things can go smoothly. I really liked the Husky/lab mix we met so I think we'll put in an adoption application later today. Any tips on how to manage shedding?

[Speaker 1] Lots of brushing.  Penny is a shedder too.  We have to brush her every few days.  We got a roomba too to help vacuum up her fur.

[Speaker 2] I will keep that in mind. We have a roomba! Is Penny scared of it at all?

[Speaker 1] no, she thinks its fun.  I mean she was scared at first but she ok with it now.  She is still scared of my hair dryer though.

[Speaker 2] That's funny. My friend's dog is terrified of the vacuum cleaner. But I guess it's all about how you introduce things and respond to their behavior right?

[Speaker 1] It is!  Its easier to ease them into things.  I think with the blow dryer I have to use it everytime I shower and she likes to sit next to me.  So when i blowdry the air hits her and scares her.  But she still wants to be next to me.

[Speaker 2] That's very sweet. I've heard dogs tend to pick one person in the family as "theirs," I guess Penny picked you?

[Speaker 2] Yes, one family brought in a bird that got his head stuck in a soda can.  Poor bird wasn't happy and it took a long time to get it off.

[Speaker 1] Oh no, do you work long hours?

[Speaker 2] Yes, the days are long but it's worth it.  I enjoy helping the animals feel better.

[Speaker 1] I love animals too, I would want to take them all home. Have you ever rescued an anima from the vets?

[Speaker 2] I struggle with not bringing them all home!  I did rescue one dog recently that I named Bob.  He has a broken leg but it's healing well.

[Speaker 1] Aww, did you name him after Bob Marley?

[Speaker 2] Yes, of course!  When I was working the other day someone brought in their dog who is also named Bob.  He said he was trying to play catch and the dog fell over a fence at the dog park.

[Speaker 1] My kids would love it if we had a family dog. Bob is a cute name though.

[Speaker 2] I always love meeting all the new animals that come into the vet.  Each animal has a unique personality.  I definitely think every child should have their own pet so you should absolutely rescue a dog!

[Speaker 1] My boys especially would love to be surrounded by animals, they often do homework about animals. I'll have to check out the local rescue centres.

[Speaker 2] I have a few suggestions of where you could look.  I'll email you them.  I know you're really crafty so you could make the dog a cute little outfit or something special.

I love crafts especially drawing. I make crafts for a living. I am a mother to 3 girls and 2 boys.

My favourite music is reggae.

I love animals. I have an interest in adopting pets. My children would love to have a dog. My family does not have a dog yet.

I live close to rescue centers.

I love animals.

I love Jill Scott and Bob Marley.

I am a vet at a veterinary office.

I have a rescue dog named Bob. My dog, Bob, has a broken leg that is healing.

I named my dog after Bob Marley.

I think each animal has a unique personality. I think every child should have their own pet.

[Speaker 1] Have you found any local rescue centers that I could look at? My kids would love to get a dog. Also, how are Bob and his leg doing?

[Speaker 2] So far just the main city one is the best bet. They've got a good selection of dogs available right now.  Bob's doing great and thanks for asking!

[Speaker 1] That's great, what kind of dog is Bob?

[Speaker 2] He's a huskie mix.  It's been hard getting him used to three legs for now but he's managing. Huskies are smart dogs you know. In fact, I think there's one or two at the shelter right now. You should check them out.

[Speaker 1] Awesome, I think I should. Are huskies great with kids?

[Speaker 2] They are actually! They are really playful and energetic.  All of your kids will love a huskie.

[Speaker 1] I was looking for a playful bread, so I'll check them out. What are some other breeds that are great for kids?

[Speaker 2] Let's see.... I think that Golden Retrievers are very good with kids.  What size of dog do you want?

[Speaker 1] Maybe a smaller one would be better, what size is good for small kids?

[Speaker 2] To me any size is good with kids.  It's just a matter of seeing what they bond with.  Take them to the rescue center and see which sizes and types they gravitate towards.

[Speaker 1] Great idea!, are some of them more prone to breaking legs like your dog Bpb?

[Speaker 2] No, Bob just had a random accident.  It could happen to any dog.

My favourite music is reggae.

I love animals. My family does not have a dog yet. I live close to rescue centers. My kids want a dog. I want a smaller dog. My kids are small.

I love animals.

I love Jill Scott and Bob Marley.

I am a vet at a veterinary office. I work long hours. I love my job. I enjoy helping animals to heal, recover, and feel better.

I have a rescue dog named Bob. He is a huskie mix. He only has 3 legs. My dog Bob had a random accident where he lost one leg.

I named my dog after Bob Marley.

[Speaker 1] I'm going to the shelter later today with my kids to pick out a dog.

[Speaker 2] That's great! Do you have one picked out already or you're just going to see who takes you once you're there?

[Speaker 1] I'm really not sure yet. We are looking for something smaller but the shelter normally only has larger dogs. Do you recommend any way to approach a new dog? With so many kids, I don't want to overwhelm it.

[Speaker 2] It's always different for every dog, but having a handful of treats helps! Keep voices low and make sure the kids are kind of worn out so their energy level isn't crazy. And shelters do often have small dogs, they just get adopted so quickly. I'm sure you'll find the one!

[Speaker 1] It was so crazy! Yesterday I was driving home and a little dog popped out from nowhere into my path. He was definitely lost. He was so cute! But I couldn't get him to come to me, ever with some salami. He would have been a perfect dog! It seemed like a sign that we were ready to get one. Do you take your dog to the dog park ever?

[Speaker 2] Yes! It's super important to socialize your dog, and the old saying that a tired dog is a happy dog is extremely true. When you bring your new one home I'd recommend squeezy cheese - it'll get them out of their shell and willing to do just about anything!

[Speaker 1] Oh that's a good idea! I will remember to do that. We have a local dog park so I want to make sure to take the new dog there to socialize, but I get nervous of coming in contact with bad owners. What do you do in that situation?

[Speaker 2] Avoid 'em. People are the worst part about dogs, ha! Keep yours leashed when other dogs are around. It's just not worth the risk of other people who haven't bothered to train their dogs.

[Speaker 1] Yes! I will absolutely do that. Do you ever get nervous with yours since he only has 3 legs? Or is he pretty scrappy and you don't have to watch over him much? Did it happen when he was older or as a pup?

[Speaker 2] He's really scrappy! It's amazing how resilient animals are. He really has no idea he's any different. It was when he was quite young, so he's adapted no problem at all.

[Speaker 1] That's good. We looked at a dog once that was a hound that had gotten hit by a car and was missing a leg and an eye. Poor girl! She was a hound, so just a little bit larger than what we were wanting and honestly, we just weren't ready yet. I wanted to make sure the youngest was old enough to know how to behave around a dog properly. Do you recommend any special diet for a new dog? Or treats beside the cheese?

[Speaker 2] The shelter will always tell you and usually give you some food they've been feeding to help the transition, but I love Taste of the Wild food. A little expensive but amazing good quality, and you pay more for cheap pet food down the line at the vet's office anyway!
