[Speaker 2] Yes, she tags a long and loves to participate. I am super sorry for you, have you been busy working?

[Speaker 1] yeah, work has been crazy. All this talk of yoga is making me hungry. Have you tried any new recipes lately?

[Speaker 2] Oh yep, I have been making hummus and using extra garlic! I get fresh garlic and peel it, mince it & its been crazy good!

[Speaker 1] Oh my! That sounds amazing! I need to try it. What sports do you enjoy most?

[Speaker 2] Ill send you my recipe. I am like you, I like hockey too. It is a close call though because I really love football. I like college or NFL.

[Speaker 1] Football is a good choice too. You should come to my hockey game tonight and bring some hummus haha

[Speaker 2] Oh, that sounds good but you will need to have toys for my two year old or we will be running around telling her not to touch everything. She is a hand full most of the time.lol

[Speaker 2] She actually did. She's a little picky too but she enjoys most things with fruit

[Speaker 1] That's good. Is it hard finding good places to buy fresh groceries in New York? I've never been in a big city like that before.

[Speaker 2] No not at all. We even have farmers markets believe it or not. What is the biggest city you've ever been to?

[Speaker 1] I have been to Chicago, but only to visit. I have always lived in suburban areas so I'm not too familiar with urban living.

[Speaker 2] I prefer the city. I love the culture and diversity the city provides. Is there any city you would want to live?

[Speaker 1] I actually did enjoy visiting Chicago. However, I'm not sure if I'd want to have kids in the city. I think I would have loved to live there when I was single.

[Speaker 2] Yeah fair enough. There are actually a lot of great schools in New York. My daughter has been very lucky. Ad great yoga studios!

[Speaker 1] Oh yes, that is one thing I would like about the city. More variety in yoga studios. There is only one close to where I live.

[Speaker 1] Awesome. I've never seen it.

[Speaker 2] See 1 and 2. 3 sucks.

[Speaker 1] Usually the sequels and such do. What is it about?

[Speaker 2] Oh 2 is as good as 1. The mafia and the decent from good to bad.

[Speaker 1] That is interesting. Is it a mystery?

[Speaker 2] No, more of a drama. One of the greatest films of all time.

[Speaker 1] So is it a sad movie?

[Speaker 2] Depends on how you define sad.

[Speaker 1] Same, I am always up late because of my three roommates!

[Speaker 2] Throw on a jeans and tee and run. That's why I love wearing them

[Speaker 1] Both of my parents, both teachers, also love to run. I go with them sometimes.

[Speaker 2] I have to run everyday to work off all the m ms I eat.

[Speaker 1] Lol. We all need more energy though, I have a grunge concert at 1 am tonight.

[Speaker 2] Dude that is late. Jay, my crush I work with is going. Wish I could too

[Speaker 1] I can get you in! My sister and I are performing.

[Speaker 2] Really? I'm so there. Maybe I will get to see jay!

[Speaker 1] You definitely will. I have an eyebrow piercing appointment in a couple minutes.

[Speaker 2] Yikes! I got my tongue pierced. That hurt for days

[Speaker 1] Wow.... I hope it wo not affect tonights concert!!

[Speaker 2] Just do not move your eyebrows too much. Haha!

I work at a coffee shop.

I have three roommates.

My parents are both teachers. My parents love to run. I go running.

I go to grunge concerts. My sister and I are performers in a grunge band

I am getting an eyebrow piercing.

I am taking classes. I drink coffee.
I love wearing jeans and a tee.
I run everyday. I eat m ms.
I work with my crush Jay.
I have my tongue pierced.

[Speaker 1] I got my eyebrow piercing done and it hurt! Do you have any aftercare tips from when you got your tongue pierced?

[Speaker 2] Well I had to cut back on all of the coffee I normally drink, but obviously that won't be a problem for you since it your eyebrow and not tongue.  Just try to be careful at those grunge concerts you go to and make sure nobody accidentally pulls the ring.

[Speaker 1] That's great advice, thanks! I'm actually going to a grunge concert this weekend, but I'll be careful. Do you like going to concerts?

[Speaker 2] Yeah I do.  I love wearing my jeans and a tee any chance I get.  Maybe I can come check you out if it's on a night I'm not in one of my classes.  How's everything going with your roommates?

[Speaker 1] Well, I'm actually in a bit of a fight with one of them right now. She just became a vegan and doesn't want animal products in the house. I can't give up ham sandwiches though, which are my favorite food! Do you have to deal with any room mates?

[Speaker 2] Fortunately no roommates for me.  Do you run? I run every day.  Maybe you come come with me sometime and get away from the house for a little bit.

[Speaker 1] My whole family loves to run! That sounds like just what I need. What route do you usually run?

[Speaker 2] There's a good path around the commons we could run.  Sometimes I even run into my crush Jay there.  It's so nice seeing him outside of work.  Do you think your parents would like to go?

[Speaker 1] I'll definitely ask them! They might be teaching a class though. Either way, maybe I'll finally get to meet the mysterious Jay! Is he a runner too?

[Speaker 2] He is! We have so much in common. I just haven't worked up to courage to really talk to him at work.  Anyways, how is work going for you?

[Speaker 1] Busy as always! People never stop wanting coffee. It gets a bit quieter after the morning rush though. It would be a perfect place for you to invite Jay for coffee date to get to know him more!

[Speaker 2] I know right? Do you still have that m&m drink? I love m&m's!

I work at a coffee shop.

I have three roommates. One of my roommates is vegan and doesn't want animal products in the house.

My parents are both teachers. I like to run and so does my family.

I just got my eyebrow pierced.

I go to school. I drink coffee. I love M&Ms.

I live alone. I run everyday.

I have my tongue pierced. I like going to concerts. I like casual clothes.

I have a crush named Jay who I work with. My crush is a runner.

[Speaker 1] My eyebrow piercing got infected! I think I might have to go to the doctor.

[Speaker 2] Really? Did they clean their needles before you got it pierced?

[Speaker 1] Apparently so! I'm not real happy about this. Any suggestions on what I can do so that I don't have to go to the doctor? Putting neosporin on it now.

[Speaker 2] Keep using antibiotics until it goes down.  If it gets worse, you should see a doctor.  My tongue was swollen for a bit when I got that pierced, but infections are rough.

[Speaker 1] For real! It's pretty sore right now. Just trying to make sure the redness doesn't spread much farther. Infection on your tongue... ouch! That would be terrible! Were you able to eat anything?

[Speaker 2] Not at all.  I basically lived off of coffee and pudding for a while until the pain went away.

[Speaker 1] Ugh! No thank you! That'll definitely scare me off of getting my tongue pierced after my eye piercing and hearing about your tongue. That had to be hard to lay off of the M&M's! Haha!

[Speaker 2] It was! I tried crushing them up and eating them that way but it was just as bad.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I bet so. Probably get a little too sharp and gritty for a swollen tongue when crushed up. I need this eye infection to clear up so I can go for a run! I've only missed one day but it stinks!

[Speaker 2] Yeah I tried running after I got my tongue pierced but I was so focused on the pain in my mouth I couldn't enjoy it like I normally do.

[Speaker 1] I bet all the bouncing hurt! I'm too hideous to be seen in public right now till it heals!

[Speaker 2] Once it heals, we should celebrate and go to a concert to show off our piercings.


I work at a spanish fast food restaurant studying friend food.

[Speaker 2] That's wonderful. I enjoy their music sometimes.

[Speaker 1] My purpose in life is to create american chips

[Speaker 2] Due to your research in fried potatoes?

[Speaker 1] At one time I tripped up an entire set of steps

[Speaker 2] Its hard to trip going up.

[Speaker 1] My everyday transport is a cycle that you power with your arms

[Speaker 2] You sound like a robot so I am guessing you can travel quite quickly.


I was once on the local news, and not for anything illegal.

My father use to drive a taxi cab in the 1970 s.

I ve never been to the west coast of the united states.

My uncle use to work on fish boats in florida.

I ve found other pretty good blogs to share opinions with.

I love to read.

I started a small blog lately to post reviews.

I've none to share my thoughts about the books I read.

I started collaborating with some popular publishers.

I was asked to give my opinion on preschool education for a tv segment.

My pop used to be a personal driver.

The only beaches I have seen in this country are on the atlantic.

My relative knows how to go fishing.

I'm interested in the thoughts of others.

I like reading.

I share my feelings online.

I don't have strong feelings about the story that I finished.

I am now partnering with bloomsbury and simon shuster.

[Speaker 1] Have yoy ever been to the west coast, I've not.

[Speaker 2] Hello I'm ray from florida where are you from

[Speaker 1] I'm eric. I'm from new york. My dad drove cab here in the seventies.

[Speaker 2] I'm good I like to blog I mostly have blog with popular publishers

[Speaker 1] That's cool. I was on the local news once.

[Speaker 2] No never been to the west coast but I have read about it

[Speaker 1] I've heard its nice. I've been to flordia on a fishing boat that my uncle worked on.

[Speaker 2] I really like to share my opinions after I read a book

[Speaker 1] Ghats a good way to distribute information.

[Speaker 2] I love florida, I usually post reviews on my blog about books I read

[Speaker 1] Have you ever blogged about local news stories of legal events.

[Speaker 2] What did you catch on your fishing trip down here?

[Speaker 1] Its been awhile because my uncle used to work on them. I caught flounder.

[Speaker 2] Yes I have, alot of crazy stuff happens here in miami

[Speaker 1] My story was a legal event, but yes... A lot of drug trafficking.

[Speaker 2] Flounder is really a good fish to eat, I caught a 26 pound flounder once

I have not traveled to the west coast. I live in New York. My father was a cab driver.

I was on the news for a legal case I was involved in.

I live in Florida.

I am an internet blogger.

I like to read and I'm opinionated.

[Speaker 1] There was a great fishing tournament that happened yesterday.

[Speaker 2] Oh?  I wasn't aware of it!  Did you watch it?

[Speaker 1] Yes! I love to watch these competitions with my father! Do you ever watch these competitions?

[Speaker 2] I've been in some, and watched a few.  I love them. Did your dad fish too?

[Speaker 1] Yes, but not often. It was something I usually did on my own, still is. I find fishing so relaxing. Why do you like to fish?

[Speaker 2] Same.  The relaxation.  I like the calm while you're waiting, and then the thrill when you feel something tugging.  It must be nice for you to get away from your hectic life as a lawyer sometimes.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! A moments peace of not reading through hundreds of documents. But you're no stranger to this kind of thing as a blogger I'm sure!

[Speaker 2] Very true.  But, I like the variety the blogging world brings.  I get to learn about and work on so many different things.  Though, I do wish I could go fishing in cooler weather like you must be able to do up in New York.

[Speaker 1] It is nice but the cold weather does get old. I have so much family up here but if I didn't I'd love to experience warmer weather elsewhere! Miami sounds like a dream when it comes to warmer weather.

[Speaker 2] Well, you'll just have to come visit sometime!  Come in the winter thought, when it's not QUITE as hot and humid.

[Speaker 1] I would love that! And just the same, if you are curious to visit New York, please do! I'd love to try fishing on a boat once more and a friend always makes things a bit more interesting.

[Speaker 2] Totally.  What's the first thing I should see in New York?

I have not traveled to the west coast. I live in New York. I prefer warmer weather in Miami.

I have been on a fishing boat once. I know how to fish. I love fishing tournaments.

I am a lawyer. My father was a cab driver.

I am an internet blogger. I like to read and I'm opinionated.

I live in Miami, Florida. I like to eat fish and I am a good fisherman. I have participated in fishing tournaments. I prefer cooler weather to go fishing.

I have never been to New York yet.

[Speaker 1] I just won a big legal case I was working on.

[Speaker 2] That's great! How do you plan to celebrate?

[Speaker 1] I might take a quick trip down to Miami

[Speaker 2] Oh really? Do you plan to do any fishing while you're here?

[Speaker 1] I was just going to ask if you have any recommendations of fishing locations

[Speaker 2] Yes there are a lot of good places, you may have to travel a bit out of the city area though. The city itself is very full of tourists this time of year.

[Speaker 1] Right. I might just make this more of a celebatory trip ad plan a fishing trip at a later time. Have you caught anything to speak about?

[Speaker 2] I've had a few fishing trips with friends lately, but nothing of note. I will probably slow down soon, it's getting too warm to fish. I've been trying to spend more time on my blog lately too.

[Speaker 1] Okay what have you been writing about?

[Speaker 2] I've started to write reviews of local restaurants, specifically ones that serve seafood. I figured no one would know better than an expert fisherman such as myself.

[Speaker 1] Great idea! I am sure there a ton of delicious seafood restaurants down there. Do you have any recommendations for me?

[Speaker 2] Yes there are a few good local places around me. I will compile a list for you.

[Speaker 2] Hello, I am doing very well. How are you?

[Speaker 1] Good, same here. Just got done with some classes.

[Speaker 2] What are you taking classes for? I'm going back to school when my girls hit college.

[Speaker 1] I'm a business major at fsu.

[Speaker 2] Nice! My husband works long hours at telecom, so someone has to be here.

[Speaker 1] Oh. I only graduated from high school a few months ago with honors.

[Speaker 2] Awesome! My oldest is in the honors program at her school

[Speaker 1] That's cool. How old are they? I am 18.

[Speaker 2] They are 16 17. We are going mountain climbing this weekend.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like fun. I just purchased my first car!

[Speaker 2] How exciting! I get road rage at times, do you?

[Speaker 1] So far I have not!

[Speaker 2] Staying cool is the key. Do not let anyone stress you while driving.

[Speaker 1] Yeah. I don't stress out easily.

[Speaker 2] What are you going to be studying in college?

I am 18 years old.

I purchased a car.

I have daughters. I am not in school right now but going back to school.

My husband who works in telecom.

My oldest daughter is in the honors program at her school. My daughers are 16 and 17.

I get road rage and can also drive.

[Speaker 1] My business classes were really interesting today.

[Speaker 2] What happened in class today? Are you enjoying your new car? What kind of car did you end up buying?

[Speaker 1] We had a really interesting talk from a woman that set up her own company. Yes, I love having my own car - I bought a Mustang!

[Speaker 2] Congratulations on your new Mustang! I get so frustrated in traffic that I don't know if a fast car would be a good fit for me.

[Speaker 1] Thanks! That's fair enough, I don't really drive in bad traffic that much but I bet it is frustrating. It does make getting to class so much easier now.

[Speaker 2] How were you getting to class before? My oldest daughter wants to be a business major too. She hasn't picked a college yet. Would you recommend FSU?

[Speaker 1] I was walking and getting the bus but It was talking nearly 2 hours each way! I would totally recommend FSU it's business school is great you should come out and visit with your daughter.

[Speaker 2] That's a long time to travel to and from class. I'm glad you were able to get yourself a new car and a quicker commute! My oldest is in the honors program like you were as well. I will have to schedule a visit out there. Would it be too much to ask for you to show us around one day?

I am a business major at FSU. I graduated from high school a few months ago with honors. I am 18 years old.

I bought a new Mustang. My new car gets me to class much easier. I used to get the bus to my business classes.

My husband who works in telecom.

My daughers are 16 and 17. My oldest daughter is in the honors program at her school. One of my daughters wants to be a business major.

I get road rage and can also drive. I hate traffic.

[Speaker 1] I almost got into an accident in my brand new Mustang! I would've been so annoyed if it had gotten damaged.

[Speaker 2] Oh no! What happened? Hopefully you were driving safely?

[Speaker 1] Yeah I am a cautious driver. This young lady was texting and swerved into my lane. It could have been so much wose!

[Speaker 2] Oh that would have really made me mad. I hate distracted drivers. I feel that there should be stricter laws for people who are texting and driving.

[Speaker 1] I completely agree! When are these people going to learn! How are your girls doing?

[Speaker 2] They are doing well! Speaking of driving, my younger daughter wants to get her license soon. I'm nervous because of how many careless drivers there are on the road. I guess I'll have to let her eventually, but she seems too young to be driving right now.

[Speaker 1] I can't imagine how that would feel as a parent! How scary! Are you going to get her a car

[Speaker 2] I think yes, she's been doing well in school so I'd like to reward her for her grades.

[Speaker 1] That is quite an award but good for her! Is she starting to look at schools?

[Speaker 2] Yes she's still not sure where but she's looking at a few schools. I hope she doesn't pick something out of state.

[Speaker 1] What is the closest university to you?

[Speaker 2] University of Chicago is close to us. It would be great if she went there, but it is expensive.

I like to read.

I love steak too.

I like to cook. I have children that play soccer and are in a tournament. I don't know how to play soccer.

I work from home. I am busy a lot at home. My kids love tacos, but I prefer steak.

I have to clean my kids clothes and dishes. I moved into a new house where I got my first dishwasher.

[Speaker 1] I came across a news article a few minutes ago about an adult soccer tournament. Maybe we could try it out?

[Speaker 2] You're funny.  Not only do I not know how to play but I'm as clumsy as a drunk baby giraffe.  My kids got their mom's athleticism.

[Speaker 1] haha, but I'm serious! It's just for the social aspect, and with practice you can impress your kids with your skills. What do you say? I think it would be so fun!

[Speaker 2] My kids laugh at me enough already. :)  And, honestly, I hate soccer.  I wish the kids had chosen a different sport.  You prefer baseball yourself, don't you?

[Speaker 1] ok fair enough, it was a long shot! Yes, baseball is definitely my favorite sport, do you like baseball?

[Speaker 2] Afraid not.  I'm sounding like a nerd here, aren't I?  LOL  Like I said, I'm super clumsy.  You know the skinny 6'4" kid who can't dribble a ball to save his life?  That was me.

[Speaker 1] Oh not at all, everyone has their different interests and skills! Plus, I know you are too busy at home to be keeping up with all these different sports on top of your kids' activities. Which reminds me, have you had any luck finding a ferret for your kids?

[Speaker 2] I gave doing the research to the boy as a homeschool assignment.  He found out you're not allowed to keep ferrets as pets here in Iowa.

[Speaker 1] oh, news to me! That's super disappointing. Do you know why that is?

[Speaker 2] Apparently they can spread disease to livestock.  Zeke was bummed.  I think Penny was kind of relieved, though.

[Speaker 1] Oh man, I feel for Zeke. I'm bummed myself as I was hoping to get one as a pet as well. Penny didn't want a pet ferret?

[Speaker 2] She said she did.  But I think actually seeing them in the youtube videos we watched kind of freaked her out.  The ferrets may not have been a good match with your fish anyway.  They're super mischievous.

[Speaker 2] I have a chihuahua. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 1] I have a pet skunk named stinky. Do you like to take your dog to the dog park?

[Speaker 2] No, I don't as my dog is very naughty, so I leave it at home. It wants to eat everything that I eat. After I jog at the nearby park, I often dine in a steakhouse for dinner. Without my dog nearby, I could fully enjoy the steak and save the bones to my dog when I come home. Do you like your living conditions in that apartment building?

[Speaker 1] The living conditions in the apartment building are not fantastic. I am sorry to hear that you have a naughty dog. What are your favorite sides for your steak?

[Speaker 2] Rn I worked at a nursing home

[Speaker 1] Such a noble profession. What do you do for fun?

[Speaker 2] It is a part time job and I still earn 50k annually

[Speaker 1] Noble and lucrative! Do you have any hobbies?

[Speaker 2] I enjoy taking care of my dogs and running with them and you?

[Speaker 1] I give everything I have to my business. I do it all for my family.

[Speaker 2] What a giving person! I am sure they appreciate it

[Speaker 2] I've tried never been very successful though. Mind mind gets all mixed matched. I'm mostly at work anyway.What do you do for a living?

[Speaker 1] My family owns a car wash. I work there, but I always wanted to be a police officer.

[Speaker 2] That would be a great choice! My dog is a retired police dog. Also have a few cousins that are police officers they love it. I've always been a mechanic its boring to most people.

[Speaker 1] Is it boring to you though?

[Speaker 2] Not at all i love taking this a part. Before that i did work at a nursing home for a little while even though i was helping people it was boring to me.

[Speaker 1] I think it is great that you found something you love to do.  Do you still sew?

[Speaker 2] Yeah it's relaxing. Most of the guys at the shop make fun of me but oh well. I like it. hope you don't get stuff from the people you work with like i do lol.

[Speaker 1] Everyone has their health. The kids had a piano concert this weekend. I will send you video from it.

[Speaker 2] I'm glad to hear it. As for the video: I'm looking forward to it! Anything new with your brothers?

[Speaker 1] I have been avoiding them. It is best for us to have some space. You are lucky to not have pesky brothers.

[Speaker 2] Sometimes I think pesky brothers would be better than no one at all. Being an only child was a bit lonely. My cousins can be a real pain sometimes, though

[Speaker 1] Having friends that are family is a good substitute.

[Speaker 2] True. I am close to some of my co-workers. Do you have co-workers other than family?

[Speaker 1] Two non family employees, but they just started so I don't know them very well yet.

[Speaker 2] That would be fun! Let me see if I can get the time off to travel to you and see what the airfare would be. Definitely not making that drive! Too far! What part of California do you live in?

[Speaker 1] Southern California. Nice and sunny!   Air travel can be super expensive.  Do you fly often?

[Speaker 2] It doesn't get any nicer than Southern California! I do fly quite a bit so I might have some frequent flyer miles saved up. I've flown to Disney World a few times so I might need to visit Disneyland while I'm in Southern California. Have you been to Disneyland?

[Speaker 1] Yes I went when I was pretty young so I only remember being scared of the people in big costumes!  I'd like to go again though. My friend works there.

[Speaker 2] Let's try to do that also if I come to town. Maybe your friend can hook us up! Hopefully you're not scared of people in costumes anymore!

[Speaker 1] Nope, haha!  I'll get in touch with my friend.  Do you like rides?

[Speaker 2] That sounds great! I love rides! That is probably my favorite part at Disney World and I've heard Disneyland has even more rides! Are you a Star Wars fan? That part of the park is supposed to be really neat!

[Speaker 1] Oh I have heard it's awesome. I love star wars.  We'll have to check it out.

[Speaker 2] Sweet! So I won't feel like a left out nerd! We'll have to get a reservation of Oga's Cantina! It's a little bar in the Star Wars part that is supposed to be like in the movies and it looks fantastic! I will probably never want to leave! Haha!

[Speaker 1] I'm starting to really look forward to your visit. Hopefully you can get the time off of work!  What's your favorite drink?  I'm mostly a wine drinker but I also like to try new things sometimes.

[Speaker 2] Hopefully so! I like the fruity drinks. An amaretto sour topped with a cherry always hits the spot. I like wine also though so now we may have to spend some time at a vineyard if I come down. This trip is getting longer and longer. Might as well make it worth it!

[Speaker 2] Great! I'm in ny, but my father is still in china. Do you have pets?

[Speaker 1] I have 1 dog and 1 cat. How long have you been in ny?

[Speaker 2] 5 years, with my boxer dog what hobbies do you have?

[Speaker 1] I love cloud watching and reading. What is your favorite color?

[Speaker 2] Clouds remind me of the soapy baths I like to take. Blue is my fav.

[Speaker 1] I'm also crazy about shopping.

[Speaker 2] I'm into music and extersive. What do you like to shop and where?

[Speaker 1] It sounds silly, but I could spend all day in costco!

[Speaker 2] Looking for anything in particular to buy? Me too, but to eat the samples!

[Speaker 1] Aren't they the best?! I always find the best deals on shoes there!

[Speaker 2] They are! You ; ll have to go outside of costco for nice shoes

[Speaker 1] What else do you enjoy doing?

[Speaker 2] I am into exercise. What sports do you like?

My name is Dana.

I live in Maryland.

I have a dog and a cat.

I like cloud watching and reading.

I like shopping at Costco. I like buying shoes at Costco.

I have a boxer dog. I live in New York. I've lived in New York for 5 years.

I like to take baths. Blue is my favorite color.

I like music and extersive.

I also shop at Costco.

I like to exercise.

[Speaker 1] I've finished a really great book I was reading.

[Speaker 2] Very Cool! What is the name of the book?

[Speaker 1] I got it at Costco, it's called the "Girls of Atomic City"

[Speaker 2] What a coincidence! I just purchased that same book from there.

[Speaker 1] I am usually  not a fan of novels set in world war II but it was a real page turner.  Have you started it yet?

[Speaker 2] I haven't started it yet. I will be reading it tonight after I finish my workout

[Speaker 1] I think you will like it! You could read it in the bath tub!  Did you buy yours at Costco?

[Speaker 2] I sure did! I also found really nice dog toys there for my boxer. Do you get pet items from Costco also?

[Speaker 1] I always buy my dog food and cat litter there, but I didn't see the dog toys there.  Were they in a special section or by the other dog items?

[Speaker 2] They were in a special section, there was a big sale going on. They might not have had it in Maryland]

[Speaker 1] New York always has great deals.  I might look online and see if they have them.  I did buy a great pair of tennis shoes there last week.  If you need some new work out shoes you should check them out!

[Speaker 2] I might! Most of the time I will purchase clothes from Costco so I will have to give the shoes a try. Have you been cloud watching lately?

My name is Dana. I like cloud watching and reading.

I like shopping at Costco, especially shoes.

I read a book called "Girls of Atomic City". I usually don't like WWII books.

I have a dog. I have a cat.

I live in Maryland. I shop in New York. I wear tennis shoes.

I like music and exersive.

I also shop at Costco. I bought a book called "Girls of Atomic City".

[Speaker 1] I decided to check out Costco for dog toys. Is there a brand you recommend?

[Speaker 2] I really like WestPaw.  I am pretty sure that Costco carries that brand.  For the most part I find that quality is really tied to price, so if you are willing to spend a little more, you will guarantee yourself something great for your dog.

[Speaker 1] Thanks! This puppy's got her eyes on my shoes, so I need to get something to distract her.

[Speaker 2] Ah yes, I remember those times!  My dog never saw a shoe he didn't like before puppy training.  Do your dog and cat get along?

[Speaker 1] So far so good! I kept them on opposite sides of the door like you suggested and they seem to have gotten used to each other. What are you up to this afternoon?

[Speaker 2] My plan is to take a jog to the record store and see if anything is good.  Then I will jog back and hopefully relax with a bath.  I am hoping to get into that book as well.  What about you?

[Speaker 1] I'm thinking Costco, dog park, then figure out dinner. I'm running out of dinner ideas.

[Speaker 2] I wish I had some great ideas, but I've been addicted to takeout lately.  Any good restaurants between the dog park and home?

[Speaker 1] There's a good Thai place. I'm trying to save money by cooking at home but I'll probably cave! What kinds of takeout have you had recently?

[Speaker 2] You are probably going to laugh, but I actually just had Thai!  Before that it was Curry, which I'm trying to develop a taste for, but still so spicy.  I was just thinking Costco always has deals on food.  I bet you can find something good and cheap that doesn't take too long to fix.

[Speaker 1] That's a great idea! I can't believe I didn't think of that. I swear this puppy is making me lose braincells.

[Speaker 2] LOL!  Maybe you will find a perfect toy for the dog and then the perfect meal for you.  Kill two birds with one stone and get a little sanity back in your day.

[Speaker 1] Do they ever play justin timberlike? I love justin timberlike!

[Speaker 2] Sometimes. Justin timberlike was my favorite in college. I studied psychology

[Speaker 1] Maybe I should introduce you to my two boys.

[Speaker 2] Yes that would be awesome. I could teach them some psychology and watch the steelers

[Speaker 1] They're too full of themselves because they're so beautiful can you fix that?

[Speaker 2] I sure can. They sound like little narcissistic. Maybe watch some broadway

[Speaker 2] Right on. So, are you excited for the weekend?

[Speaker 1] Indeed. The kids are all excited to go to the movies.

[Speaker 2] Oh, what movie are you going to see?

[Speaker 2] I do! I have one sone, aged 5. He also enjoys the movies. He likes superhero movies.

[Speaker 1] My son is the same. Spiderman this and Spiderman that. He never shuts up about spiderman. He loved jumping on all the furniture and pretending to shoot webs at me

[Speaker 2] My son builds hammers out of legos and pretends to be Thor.

[Speaker 1] I'm glad my son isn't interested in legos. The girls used to leave lego all over the floor and I would inevitably stand on them.

[Speaker 2] I have that problem now. I'm constantly stepping on legos.

[Speaker 1] You need to get yourself a pair of crocs. Trust me, they are lifesavers.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a great idea. Thanks!

[Speaker 1] Don't mention it! I wish someone had told me back then. It took me 6 months of stepping on legos before I figured it out!

[Speaker 2] Ouch. That sounds pretty painful. Does your daughter still play with legos?

I have 3 dogs.

I used to be a catholic.

I tutor kids in my spare time.

I have a son and two daughters. My son is a fan of Spiderman too. My daughter play lego and my son doesn't.

I have a 5-year-old son.

[Speaker 1] One of the kids I tutor said the funniest thing the other day.

[Speaker 2] Oh really? What was that?

[Speaker 1] He told a joke about toilet paper. Do you want to hear it?

[Speaker 2] Haha, I would love to hear it. I'll tell it to my son if its appropriate.

[Speaker 1] Okay, here we go. What happened when the toilet paper crossed the road?

[Speaker 2] I don't know, what happened?

[Speaker 1] It got stuck in a crack! Haha

[Speaker 2] Ha! He's gonna love that one. So, have you done any hiking lately? I went into the mountains this weekend.

[Speaker 1] Haven't gotten hiking recently. What'd you do in the mountains?

[Speaker 2] Just took the family up to a little spot I know. We did a 5 mile out and back hike yesterday morning. I sure do love camping at this time of the year.

[Speaker 1] That sounds fun. What did you guys eat?

[Speaker 2] Well usually my better half handles the food. We had some dehydrated camping meals from REI. It was pretty good. Have you done anything fun with your family lately?

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you today?

[Speaker 2] I'm fine just got home from the park

[Speaker 1] That sounds lovely, do you go alone?

[Speaker 2] No I took my dog benny with me

[Speaker 1] Benny is a lovely name it was one of my brothers names. He has since passed.

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry for your loss this dog was my mothers she too passed

[Speaker 1] Do you believe in heaven? If so, I am sure my husband is playing cards with her.

[Speaker 2] Aww yes I do he keeps me content with life

[Speaker 1] Do you have any siblings?

[Speaker 2] Yes 3 but they live out of state.. You?

[Speaker 1] There are 7 of us. 3 have passed.

[Speaker 2] Wow, wish mine was bigger I would probably be less shy

[Speaker 1] Possibly, I am a very sociable person.

[Speaker 2] I sing when I shower to calm my nerves and anxiety

[Speaker 1] I would love long hot showers, I've to go now. Time for tea.

[Speaker 2] Ok have a fun and blessed day

I am one of seven children. 3 of them passed away.

I am very sociable.

I have a dog named Benny.

I have 3 siblings but they live out of state.

I sing. I am shy. I can be nervous or have anxiety.

[Speaker 1] How are you and Benny doing?

[Speaker 2] Good, he went to the groomer yesterday so he smells good today!  How are you doing?

[Speaker 1] Not too bad. My mom keeps pressuring me to get married since I'm the last one out of all my siblings.

[Speaker 2] Are you dating anyone special at the moment?

[Speaker 1] I've been seeing a woman from work recently but it's not serious yet.

[Speaker 2] Well I guess you should tell your mom to stop pressuring you then!  Ive been trying this online dating thing but its so stressful, im anxious on all my dates and feel like im not making a good first impression.

[Speaker 1] Ah I tried online dating a few years ago but it wasn't for me. I've always found it easier to connect with people in real life. Maybe you can ask a friend to set you up?

[Speaker 2] All my friends are married with kids and dont know anyone single.  Its so hard to meet people when you're not social, I bet you dont have that problem.

[Speaker 1] I guess not, it's always come naturally to me. But dating can still be hard. It's one thing to be friendly with people and another to really make a connection

[Speaker 2] I've come to the conclusion its just going to me and Benny for a while!  Im glad my parents arent pressuring me to get married, they would be disappointed!!

[Speaker 1] I wish mine would stop but they're very traditional and religious so I don't think they'll stop anytime soon. Dogs are great companions so I'm sure you and Benny will be just fine

[Speaker 2] Yeah were going to be alright...im not in a rush to settle down.  Im taking a trip to Italy in a month so that will be fun.

I am one of 7 children. One of my brothers is also called Benny. 3 of them passed away.

I am not married and all of my siblings are married. I am dating a woman from work, but it isn't serious. I did online dating a few years ago. My parents are pressuring me to get married.

I am naturally social and friendly.

I have a dog named Benny.

I am doing online dating but it is stressful. My friends are married and don't have single friends. I am not social. My parents aren't pressuring me to get married. I am not in a rush to settle down.

I am going to Italy in a month.

[Speaker 1] Maybe you should put Benny on your online dating profile!

[Speaker 2] Haha, do you think Benny will attract other people to me?

[Speaker 1] It is true that people are drawn to pics with dogs in them!  Where in Italy are you going?

[Speaker 2] I'm gonna go to Venice. I heard it is pretty there.

[Speaker 1] I was there a long time ago and would love to go again.  I still have a charcoal picture from an artist on the Rialto bridge.

[Speaker 2] Ooh, that's cool. Are there a lot of artists there that do paintings?

[Speaker 1] Yes, just like in Paris. There are street artist there and in St Mark's Square.

[Speaker 2] Ooh, I'll have to get one done. Are there any specific artists you'd recommend?

[Speaker 1] It has been so long ago, I don't remember. Just enjoy! There is also the bridge of sighs. It is the last glimpse of the outside as prisoners crossed the bridge into prison.  I just love all of the history there.  o

[Speaker 2] Woah that sounds really spooky. I'll have to check it out. Any other places you'd recommend?

[Speaker 1] Those were the places that I really enjoyed. Oh there is Venetian glass factories and also places where they make cameos.

[Speaker 2] What are cameos? I've never heard of them.


I have a friend group, but I do not like any of them.

My days are filled with cross country try outs and basketball practice.

But, I feel lost and far away from who I truly am.

I am a middle aged mother of two high school boys.

My father use to drive a taxi cab in the 1970s.

I've been to canada two times my entire life.

My uncle use to work on fish boats in florida.

I've never been to the west coast of the united states.

I'm not friendly.

My afternoons consist of sporting events.

I don't like who I'm.

My husband is forty years old.

My pop used to be a personal driver.

I have made 2 trips overseas.

My relative knows how to go fishing.

The only beaches I've seen in this country are on the atlantic.

[Speaker 1] Hi! It is nice to get to chat like this.

[Speaker 2] Hi! Yes it is! I love getting to talk to people.

[Speaker 1] I must admit, I've got friends, but I am not sure if I even like them.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that is no good. My friends are all local, so I don't get much variety.

[Speaker 1] I am a busy cross country and basketball mom. Do not meet many new people.

[Speaker 2] I meet people through my uncle and dads jobs. How many kids?

[Speaker 1] Two teenage boys. Always an adventure!

[Speaker 2] I can imagine, my dad and uncles childhood stories were always interesting!

[Speaker 1] It can be fun, but sometimes I feel a bit lost.

[Speaker 2] Because you are so busy or you do not have a support system?

[Speaker 1] Maybe both? I never imagined my life being like this.

[Speaker 2] I imagine most people do not imagine their lives playing out the way they do.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I feel removed from who I am. How about you?

[Speaker 2] I feel pretty grounded. Traveled twice, stayed local, no major changes in my life.

[Speaker 1] That sounds nice. It has been nice to chat with you.

[Speaker 2] You as well! I hope you do not feel too adrift.

[Speaker 1] Thank you. I hope I can find my way soon.

[Speaker 2] It might sound crazy but sometimes being lost is a better experience.

[Speaker 1] Perhaps. Until then, I'll be busy with the kids activities!

[Speaker 2] I am sure there's some sage advice about being busy being good, haha!

I am a woman. I have two teenage sons that play basketball and cross country.

I am very busy.

I only have local friends. I meet many new people.

[Speaker 1] I am still very busy with my sons' activities, but I am enjoying it all.

[Speaker 2] What activities are your sons up to at the moment? It is so nice to see such an involved parent

[Speaker 1] They're still practicing for the basketball tournament and running cross country. I wish I had their energy! How was your party this past weekend? Did all of your friends come?

[Speaker 2] That sounds like good fun. Are the basketball for a local tournament or is it a national one? My party this weekend went well. Most of my friends managed to make it and they brought some new friends, so it was a great day

[Speaker 1] Oh, it's just a local one. They're not good enough for nationals. lol I'm so glad your party went well! Tell me more about it. I want to live vicariously through you.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure if they practise hard enough they'll make it to nationals. You can live vicariously through me as much as you like. Yeah, I had about 30 people over for a nice cocktail making party - I had a few bartender friends show people what to do and then we all made seven or eight drinks each and got quite drunk. Also had an experimental competition to see who could make the best cocktail. I thought I would win but it didn't turn out as good as I thought

[Speaker 1] Wow that sounds like a lot of fun, actually. The best cocktail I can make is a glass of wine. ha ha What was the winning cocktail?

[Speaker 2] The winning cocktail was a very fancy chocolate salted caramel white russian. Some of my friends are very talented with flavours. I mean, a glass of wine can be very complicated with the corkscrew and everything. Very tempermental, haha!

[Speaker 1] Yum! Your friends are so talented. The only people I ever see are other moms. Maybe I could sneak out and come to one of your parties one of these days.

[Speaker 2] Oh absolutely. I have some mom friends too so you can expand your group, but i have lots of interesting friends from all walks of life. You can bring your mom friends too, if you like. I'm having a dinner in two weeks if you are free?.

[Speaker 1] That sounds wonderful! I have a friend I think would love that. I'll have to check the boys' schedules to make sure I don't have to drive them to/from practice, but I would love to come! What should I bring?

[Speaker 2] Just bring yourself and something to drink. If you want to bring anything that you especially enjoy cooking or baking you can do - its a great way to get my friends to like you immediately - but don't feel the need to bring anything if you are too busy. Your life sounds hectic enough

I am very busy.

I like wine.

I only see other moms. I want to go to a party.

I don't have much free time because my boys have busy schedules.

I only have local friends. I have lots of interesting friends.

I have traveled twice in my life. I have always lived local. I had a party last weekend and made new friends. I have friends who are bartenders. I am not good at making cocktails.

[Speaker 1] My son's basketball team has qualified for nationals so my schedule has gotten busier.

[Speaker 2] Yikes.  That's going to be expensive, too.  Glad my kids are more artsy.  :)

[Speaker 1] Yes but it's what he loves to do so I have to support him. He'll never make it past high school ball though. It's just going to take a lot of wine to get through it haha.

[Speaker 2] Still, ya gotta find some social outlet that's not just about the kids girl.  They'll be out of the house soon.  You need to start establishing your own life independent of them.

[Speaker 1] That's very true. I haven't even considered what it would be like living in an empty nest, so to speak. Enough about me though, your life is so much more interesting than mine. What have you been up to miss socialite?

[Speaker 2] Just planning a party for the weekend.  Friends are coming over and bringing their instruments.  Going to do a little jam session out on the patio by the firepit.

[Speaker 1] Woah that sounds like fun. Must be nice having all that freedom. Family life is great and all but it sure does get monotonous.

[Speaker 2] Oh, the kids are joining us.  Judah's trying out mandolin instead of his usual guitar and Agata is playing her fiddle.  They're super stoked to be playing with the adults!

[Speaker 1] Well that sounds like a great time. I'm sure you're very proud of them. I wish Jonathan and Caleb would get into some music... or something other than sports. I'm worried they don't have a creative bone in their body! And what's gonna happen when they don't get the athletic scholarship.

[Speaker 2] Boys have to pour themselves into something.  It's healthy.  Just make sure they don't get stuck on it their whole lives.  You want that same energy and drive later in their work and their family!

[Speaker 1] Girl you are so right. You're my wisest friend. Do you think your kids will pursue careers in music?

[Speaker 2] Folk music?  LOL.  I wish it were popular enough but it'll just be a hobby.  They do love it but aren't under any illusions.  Judah's thinking about HVAC and Agata is looking at nursing.  We'll see.

[Speaker 1] Haha just plotting my next adventure.

[Speaker 2] Awesome! What type of adventures are you into?

[Speaker 1] Any adventure that takes me away from my parents house. I live for traveling.

[Speaker 2] I totally understand, I am the same way.

[Speaker 1] Oh nice? Been anywhere good lately?

[Speaker 2] No, but found the cure for the common cold

[Speaker 1] Well that is pretty impressive. More than I have ever done.

[Speaker 2] Ll, came up with it while singing in the shower

[Speaker 1] I am in the midst of planning my next big trip and I'm so excited!

[Speaker 2] Where are you planning to go?

[Speaker 1] I have always wanted to go to Machu Picchu and the Galapagos Islands! I found this trip where you can go to both over a period of 10 days. I am so excited!!

[Speaker 2] That sounds amazing. Will you be hiking to Machu Picchu?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I will be backpacking for that portion of the trip and camping along the way. It will definitely be an adventure. Have you ever been there?

[Speaker 2] I've never been there, I don't like hiking that much because it takes too long. I much prefer taking a car or a helicopter.

[Speaker 1] Wow, that sounds amazing! I haven't traveled by helicopter before, but I do love a road trip. Hiking for me is like a meditation, a time for reflection and being able to take in nature. Well, I won't ask you to come along since I don't think you'd like it, LOL:)

[Speaker 2] Be sure to let me see your travel pictures when you get back though! Are you travelling with friends or alone?

[Speaker 1] I will! I'm going with a travel group, but no one I know. I thought it would be a nice way to meet people.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that does sound like a good way to meet people. Have you ever done a group trip like that before?

[Speaker 1] No, this is the first time! Besides, local meetup groups, I tend to do things alone or with close friends. It's definitely out of my comfort zone! Do you have any advice?

[Speaker 2] Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. That's the advice I have, and don't hesitate to cut the ties if it will benefit you in the long run

I enjoy going on adventures, backpacking and camping. I love to travel.

[Speaker 1] While I was packing for my trip something exciting happened that I have to tell you about!

[Speaker 2] Oh, please do tell me!

[Speaker 1] My parents surprised me with a ticket to a helicopter view of Machu Picchu this Summer! I know you love traveling and are my close friend so, want to come along?

[Speaker 2] I would! Machu Picchu is a bucket list kind of hike. Do you think I could make it?

[Speaker 1] That's great to hear, I know hiking is not your favorite, but I would love to do a little backpacking and hiking before we take the helicopter! Sure you're down for that?

[Speaker 2] Do I need to work out or condition before we go?

[Speaker 1] That would probably be best; practicing cardio would help us hike faster! No matter the speed hiking calms me though. Where else have you wanted to travel? For me, definitely the Galapagos Islands!

[Speaker 2] I heard that the Galapagos is the least touch by man place on earth. I would like to learn the history of Machu Picchu also.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, that's so interesting! I too would love to learn the histories of these places. I know you're quite the intellectual, so I'm sure you're more into that than I am.

[Speaker 2] I think it might be cool while we are hiking around to learn how the place came about. I do know that scientist are always studying the Galapagos Islands.

[Speaker 1] Perhaps learning about the histories of world is a good start to your plan for world domination. I wonder what makes the Galapagos Islands so alluring for scientists...I guess we can travel and find out!

[Speaker 2] I can't wait. I am so excited that you invited me! Thank you!

[Speaker 1] Hi I'm pretty sad tonight as my girlfriend left me again.

[Speaker 2] Oh I'm sorry to hear that hope you feel better.

[Speaker 1] Thanks, I spend my time working as an art teacher what about you?

[Speaker 2] I have to raise two bad children.

[Speaker 1] That must be hard I cope by reading and don't have a tv

[Speaker 2] Yes I've a t. V I'll try reading sometimes.

[Speaker 1] That is nice the only thing I cannot eat is pizza how about you?

[Speaker 2] I am getting education to become a doctor. I can eat pizza.

[Speaker 1] Good you are going to school I wish you all the success in the world.

[Speaker 2] Thank you so much I like sitting in the mountains.

[Speaker 1] Me too it is nice to be outside do you study hard?

[Speaker 2] Cool thank you so much. It is hard.

[Speaker 1] Keep on working you can do it.

[Speaker 2] My wife went to be a nurse. That's good.

I work as an art teacher.
I don't have a television. I read.
I cannot eat pizza.

I have two children.

I have a television.

I am studying to be a doctor. My wife is studying to be a nurse.

[Speaker 1] I've been thinking about buying a tv.

[Speaker 2] Which brand do you think you will get?

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure, I'm a bit clueless to everything I need. Have you got any recommendations? I fancy something that will last me some time

[Speaker 2] I have a Samsung TV and I love it. It's a reliable, modern brand with some really cool tech. Do you have Netflix or Hulu? If so I would get a smart TV so you can stream them via wifi

[Speaker 1] I've got netflix, and I think I've got amazon prime (mostly for the free delivery!). A smart tv sounds like the sensible option. How are the kids?

[Speaker 2] The kids are as rowdy as ever haha. It's OK though since my wife and I are both studying and not working full time. It's a bit easier to care for them. Any tips on how to deal with crazy kids - given you're a teacher and all?

[Speaker 1] Maybe you need to get them their own TV? lol. Thankfully because I teach art the kids are generally a bit older and quite happy to be doing something creative instead of learning maths or physics. I think I've found a TV I fancy, its a samsung (you've convinced me!) and I can use prime to get it shipped quickly

[Speaker 2] Ah that makes sense. Oh good! How big is it?

[Speaker 1] 32" not the biggest, but I live alone and don't watch it a lot so it'll do me perfectly. It seems that it'll sync with my phone. I swear technology is magical these days!

[Speaker 2] That's a good size. I feel like some are just much too big! Oh yeah the tech is crazy - you can even use your phone as your remote! Do you have any other gadgets or devices in the home?

[Speaker 1] Not really, I guess having a background in art has made me a bit of a technophobe. Though some of the students I teach have been showing me the art they've done on these tablets and things. I guess being in medicine you must be quite used to all the tech.

[Speaker 2] I see. I was going to say that you could link the TV to other devices like smart speakers and that sort of thing haha. Yeah there's so much tech in medicine these days. I'm learning so much about robotic surgery at the moment. It's incredible how advanced we're getting! What type of art do you create?

I work as an art teacher.

I live alone . I don't have a television now but I am getting a Samsung tv. I have Netflix and amazon prime. I read.

I cannot eat pizza.

I am clueless to everything I need.

I am an art teacher. I am a technophobe.

I have two children.

I have a Samsung TV that I love.

I work part time in medicine and am learning about robotic surgery.

[Speaker 1] I finally got my tv! It looks great and I'm excited to set it up.

[Speaker 2] Woo! Time for a weekend Netflix binge?

[Speaker 1] Yup I think so! Anything good you care to recommend?

[Speaker 2] Moving Art on Netflix would be a great watch to test out! It has great visuals and is generally a nice and relaxing watch.

[Speaker 1] That sounds interesting. What's it about exactly, is it like a history of visual arts type of things or what?

[Speaker 2] It's a nature program. It highlights the beauty of nature's arty in oceans, forests and deserts etc. It should put the colours of your TV to the test! Do you think you'll be okay setting it up?

[Speaker 1] Oh wow I was completely off then lol. A nature program? I could give that a try. I do love looking at some lovely landscapes they really inspire me when I draw. I'm a little hesitant about the setup but I'm learning everyday about new technologies.

[Speaker 2] It's one of those shows you can have on in the background while you do other things around the house as well. Just beautiful imagery. That's great, I'm sure it will be easy enough! How is the teaching going?

[Speaker 1] Okay that sounds great. I'm ready to be blown away by my new TV.

[Speaker 2] Did you see how the screen looked in store at all? If not it will probably be quite a surprise! I always find a TV upgrade to have a wow factor.

[Speaker 1] I was able to check out the specs. It looked pretty big and the salesperson told me the TV has some of the best picture quality on the market. Oh and sorry I didn't answer you about the teaching, it's been going pretty good. My students are a handful but you should see some of the creative things they've come up with.

[Speaker 2] No worries! The imagination and creativity you are able to inspire and see must be one of the most delightful things about teaching art. It's such a positive thing to bring into the world!
