I like football.
My friends like watching it to.
We drink beer and eat food.
It s great fun.

My husband just decided to leave me.

The kids will be my responsibility as my husband doesn t want them.

I'm 50 years old.

I am really into sports.
I like to watch tv.

This is a blast!.

Frozen treats are amongst my favorites.
I got a divorce.
I am a single mother.
I'm half a century.

[Speaker 1] Hi how are you today

[Speaker 2] Hello, I am doing very well tonight. Having icecream.

[Speaker 1] We are watching the game and having beer

[Speaker 2] Who is playing? My husband left and took our tv.

[Speaker 1] The ravens what is the deal with the hubby?

[Speaker 2] Oh, who knows. He doesn't want to be responsible any longer.

[Speaker 1] That is men for you. Do you have kids?

[Speaker 2] We do, we have three.

[Speaker 1] Wow that's a handful we have two

[Speaker 2] One of them is a bonus kid.

[Speaker 1] They can be great fun though espcially with foot ball

[Speaker 2] He is a baseball player, very good too.

[Speaker 1] Is he on a team?

[Speaker 2] Yes, high school, and the scouts have been out twice to look at him.

[Speaker 1] That is great is he looking to go pro?

[Speaker 2] He is, but wants to go to college first.

I like watching games. I like beer.
I have two kids.

I like ice cream.

I don't have a TV.

I have a husband. I am having marital problems. I have 3 kids. I have one stepchild.

[Speaker 1] How are you and your kids doing today? Any update with your husband?

[Speaker 2] Not much new on my end.  Ive tried calling and texting all day but I haven't gotten any response.  I just dont know whats going on...my kids know that something is wrong but I dont know what to tell them

[Speaker 1] That sucks. I am sorry you and your kids are going through that. Have you ever thought about talking to a therapist?

[Speaker 2] Yes, but he wont have anything to do with it.  Ive been asking for the last several weeks to talk to friends, or talk to professionals but nothing.  He acts like nothing is wrong.  He makes me feel so guilty for caring.  My stepson all of the sudden started performing terribly at his basketball games.  I feel like whats going on at home is affecting him.  I dont know what to do!

[Speaker 1] That's terrible. What do you think about just going to therapy for yourself and that way you can strategize with someone about what to do for yourself and the kids? If it helps you, then maybe you can consider if your husband might join you later. What do you think about that?

[Speaker 2] I would definitely be willing to try that.  Really anything at this point.  I just cant keep feeling like this.  When you went through your stuff with your Ex did you have anything like this or am I just crazy and the only person in the world that has to deal with this nonsense.

[Speaker 1] No, unfortunately it is quite common. While it seems crazy now, I can promise it gets better if you get help for yourself and your kids. It's always difficult to know what comes next, and the best thing you can do is talk to someone to help find that grounding and feeling confident in whatever you are doing to work through this. How old are your kids?

[Speaker 2] 3, 7 and 17.  Theyre amazing and my whole world.   The 17 year old is my step son but I think of him as my own son so I never call him my step son.  If things dont work out with his dad and me he will be devastated.  I just dont know.  I need to just relax and go take a bath I think.  I was going to have a glass off wine but were all out.  All thats left in the fridge is beer.  That looks like it will have to do for now!

I like watching games. I like beer.

I have two kids.

I have had to go to therapist due to my Ex.

I like ice cream.

I don't have a TV.

I have a husband and 3 kids: one is 3, one is 7 and the last, my stepson, is 17. I have one stepchild. My stepson is very good at baseball. My stepson wants to go to college. My son is performing poorly in basketball.

I am having marital problems. I am thinking of going to a therapist.  My husband does not want to talk to a therapist. He makes me feel guilty.

[Speaker 1] I met a nice therapist at the bar if you would like to know more.

[Speaker 2] I really would like to know more. I hope that if i go talk to someone that my husband can be persuaded to to go as well.

[Speaker 1] I hope so too. My ex refused to go, so I went by myself, and I still do. I hope it works out for the sake of your kids.

[Speaker 2] I know. They are so young. they really don't understand all that is going on so I suppose that is a boon, but I really home that we will be able to make it work in the long run

[Speaker 1] I have hope for you! I know it's a busy time with the kids' activities. It adds more stress.

[Speaker 2] I was thinking that I would take the kids to a game or something to just relieve some stress and chill out some. What would you recommend that we go see? Baseball, football, or basketball?

[Speaker 1] Well, it sounds like your stepson would enjoy baseball, so that would be my vote.

[Speaker 2] That sound like the perfect idea. It wouldn't have been my first choice but the kids would love it. Peanuts, ice cream, hot dogs. Now i'm hungry! Do you take your kids to ball games?

[Speaker 1] We love to go! One plays baseball and the other plays basketball. We love to watch professional baseball and college basketball. March Madness is always a big deal here.

[Speaker 2] I can't say that i follow college basketball very much, so I really don't get into the whole March Maddness thing, but it does seem like it would be fun to fill out your brackets if you actually have a clue about the good teams, unlikeme.

[Speaker 1] Ha, my son is so knowledgeable but I just pick randomly and my bracket still sometimes works out better than his!

[Speaker 2] well that is lucky for you! I'll have to see if I can get my stepson involved in it next season. Maybe it would be a fun activity we could do together as a family.

[Speaker 1] Hello, I relieved myself on my mothers favorite rose bush.

[Speaker 2] Oh! This one shall be fun. Does your mom know?

[Speaker 1] Oh yes, she didn't buy any ginger snaps like I asked.

[Speaker 2] Sometimes when I go running I relieve myself if I cannot find a place open.

[Speaker 1] I do that as well, not while I am hiking up volcanoes though.

[Speaker 2] You win. I do not hike up volcanoes. I just go running 5 6 miles a day. Volcanoes?

[Speaker 1] I love doing the rundisney halfs, I drive there in my prius.

[Speaker 2] Did you do the one last week? My friend went. I went kayaking instead.

[Speaker 1] No, I'm on the east coast and I had to work.

[Speaker 2] I'm on the west coast. I assumed you were too with a prius

[Speaker 1] Nope. Ohio here. Surprisingly, there are a lot of them here.

[Speaker 2] I don't think I could survive ohio. Any good seafood restaurants there?

My mother has a favorite rose bush.

I hike up volcanoes.

I have a prius. I love running in rundisney halfs.

I live in Ohio.

I run 5, 6 miles a day.
I live on the west coast.

[Speaker 1] How has the running been on the west coast?

[Speaker 2] Its been unusually cold but the views are still amazing. How have the rundisney halfs runs been?

[Speaker 1] It has been pretty good! I actually love running in the cold because it keeps me warm  and I don't have to worry about overheating? Have you ever tried to run a half marathon?

[Speaker 2] I haven't but I'm thinking of trying one. What's your favorite part about half marathon runs?

[Speaker 1] I honestly just love finishing them lol. I started training for them during my weight loss journey and I felt super empowered when I saw how much I could accomplish!

[Speaker 2] Oh wow that's great. Do you mind me asking how much weight you lost?

[Speaker 1] I've lost about 100 pounds now! It helped that I found workouts I loved like running and hiking.

[Speaker 2] Wow congrats! I know how hard weight loss can be. My sister has struggled with her weight her whole life. I've always tried to help when she has asked and she's always spoken to me about how difficult the journey can be. You should be very proud!

[Speaker 1] Thank you so much! That really means a lot. I definitely understand where your sister is coming from. It took me years to really find the balance I needed but I know she will find it one day as well!

[Speaker 2] I know she will too. She's a wonderful person and she works so hard. I'll tell her about your running the half marathon. Maybe that will help her find a fun new goal to try.

[Speaker 1] Yes please do! Also tell her to try everything at least once until she finds something she truly enjoys. I tried things like yoga, cycling, swimming, and dancing but I did not like any of them. Hiking is what got me started and I haven't stopped!

[Speaker 2] I will tell her! Maybe I can even try something with her. That would be a fun way to spend time together.

My mother has a favorite rose bush.

I live in Ohio. I hike up volcanoes.

I have a prius. I love running in rundisney halfs and in the cold. I love finishing half marathons.

I've lost about 100 pounds. I tried yoga, cycling, swimming, and dancing, but did not like any of them.

I run 5, 6 miles a day.

I live on the west coast.

I'm thinking about trying a half marathon.

[Speaker 1] I just thought of a great new weight loss idea for your sister.

[Speaker 2] Really?What is it? My sister is always open to trying new methods.

[Speaker 1] She might try replacing all of her drinks with water. If she's interested in training with you for a half marathon, this will also help her stay hydrated!

[Speaker 2] That's a good idea!. Whenever I want to lose a few pounds, I always stick with water. I know I've mentioned that in passing to her before, but I'll be sure to remind her. I doubt she wants to train with me. I've asked her in the past, but I guess I'm the only crazy one in the family!

[Speaker 1] When she sees how much attention you're getting, she might change her mind! Besides, it's crazy to stay overweight. How much weight does she need to lose?

[Speaker 2] She needs to lose about 50 pounds. I'll definitely invite her to train with me. I know you lost a lot of weight through exercise, but did you also use any special diets?

[Speaker 1] I really just used common sense! It's amazing how many people are gluttonous without being aware of it. Your sister is probably just not very cognizant of just how much junk she is consuming in her diet!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that's probably true. I know I've been quite surprised when I sometimes check out the calories of the food I eat. Maybe I should suggest that she actually go back to good old-fashioned calorie counting.

[Speaker 1] That's also very effective. Once you start making that effort, it's hard to justify making bad food choices. Have you worked out your own training regimen for this half marathon?

[Speaker 2] I've started putting a plan together, but so far my training has just been some of my usual stuff. I want to try to add some new stuff though.

[Speaker 1] I'd suggest working on your mileage. It's important to start ramping up your endurance as soon as you can.

[Speaker 2] Yes, you are very right about that! I've already improved it some, but I know I still have a long way to go!

[Speaker 2] It sounds interesting. Fix them up and send them off

My favorite movie is Pretty women.

I am a registered nurse and work in the ER.

I have a job.

I enjoy movies. My favorite movie is the notebook.

[Speaker 1] Hello again! I know you love movies so do you want to plan a night to watch a romance movie? Maybe something like the notebook?

[Speaker 2] That sounds great. My favorite movie is the Notebook, but I'm always down to rewatch it. I can bring over some popcorn.

[Speaker 1] Sounds good to me. I'll order some pizza for us. How's school going?

[Speaker 2] School is going well. I'm currently studying to be a nurse. If I have any questions, could I reach out to you? How's your work going?

[Speaker 1] Of course. I'm happy to help however I can. Work has been crazy as usual. Did you hear about that bus crash last week? They brought everyone to my hospital. It was a mess!

[Speaker 2] Yeah I saw that on the news. That's horrible. Did you have to work some overtime to help everyone?

[Speaker 1] Yes. I was there all night. Fortunately no casualties, but there were so many people brought in. It would've been a great learning opportunity for you! How much longer until you graduate?

[Speaker 2] I'm glad you were able to help everyone. I still have one more year. I'm excited though to almost be done. Hopefully I can get a job in the same hospital as you!

[Speaker 1] I'd be happy to give you a referral. I'll keep my eyes out for openings, too. So when are you free for a movie night?

[Speaker 2] Does this Saturday work for you? I know your schedule constantly changes due to your job, so I'm pretty flexible.

[Speaker 1] I have to work Saturday, but I'm free Sunday...as long as there aren't any bus crashes. What time do  you want to come over?

[Speaker 2] Sunday works great for me. Does 6pm work? Anything I should bring other than popcorn?

My favorite movie is Pretty women.

I am a registered nurse and work in the ER at a hospital.

I worked overtime for a bus crash.

I have working Saturday but free Sunday for movie.

I have a job.

I enjoy movies. My favorite movie is the Notebook.

I am training to become a nurse at a nursing school. One more year of school til graduate.

[Speaker 1] I'm excited for a fun movie night on Sunday!

[Speaker 2] That sounds so much fun! What movie are you going to see? I haven't been to one in several months, I've been renting them at home.

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure yet, I told me son that he can pick the movie and he hasn't decided yet. Well see, he has pretty good taste sometimes. Have you been to any movies lately?

[Speaker 2] I haven't. I got into an old movie watching kick and was watching a lot of Jonathan Rhys Meyers old movies. I've always greatly enjoyed his acting.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I've never seen any of his movies I don't think. My husband is always teasing me saying that all I ever watch is Pretty Woman over and over again, I can't help it though, I just love that movie and never tire of it!

[Speaker 2] It's a great movie with some classic moments. Do you have a favorite genre? I generally love action-adventure movies and scifi/fantasy.

[Speaker 1] My favorite are the comedy/romance movies. They make me smile and just put me in such a good mood. Was wanting to ask you how is your training going?

[Speaker 2] It's thankfully going well. I know that I've been really stressed out because finals are coming up. I know anatomy makes my head spin sometimes but I'm doing well so far in this course.

[Speaker 1] That's good, your going to love being a nurse, it's just so rewarding. Last night there were several people that came in off of a bus crash to our hospital, We saved every last one of them, most were not that badly hurt thank goodness. It's just such a rewarding feeling to go home afterwards and know you made a difference in all those people's lives.

[Speaker 2] That's amazing! I know I had seen it on the news. I'm hoping to get an ICU or pediatric rotation when this is all over. Have you always worked in the ER or did you start out with a different rotation?

[Speaker 1] I actually started out in the ER, I didn't like it at first, it was hard to see all of them hurt people coming in, but after awhile I got used to it and started seeing the rewarding side of it. Not many of us are able to take stuff like that, I'm glad I got over my fears! You will too if you have any! It just takes time.

[Speaker 2] I know I've struggled more with geriatrics as I have a harder time seeing that much loss. Do you guys have a very busy ER or do you have a pretty quiet one?

[Speaker 1] Okla. Do u have hobbies? Dancing for me and I played hockey long ago.

[Speaker 2] Nope, not much interests me anymore

[Speaker 2] Oh ok, my brother has asthma as well

[Speaker 1] Do u have a large family?

[Speaker 2] Just my mom, dad and brother. Do you?

[Speaker 1] I have two brothers. One older one younger.

[Speaker 2] Cool. I am the youngest of the two

I do a daily run.

I live in Okla. My hobbies are dancing and I used to play hockey.

I have asthma.

I have an older and a younger brother.

I am looking for a job. I lost my job. I am back home.

I live in Denver, Colorado.

I don't have any hobbies.

I have parents and a older brother.

[Speaker 1] What are some cool things to do in Denver?

[Speaker 2] Well there's great skiing not too far from the city. We also have great sports teams - you like hockey right? Avalanche games are super fun to go to! What about Oklahoma?

[Speaker 1] It would be so amazing to see an Avalanche game! I do wish we had skiing some place close, that sounds like a lot of fun! How is the job search going?

[Speaker 2] It's going well. I submitted a bunch of resumes and got some callbacks for interviews for next week. I'm hoping one works out. What line of work are you in?

[Speaker 1] Oh I manage a call center for a telecommunications company. What kind of work are you looking to get into?

[Speaker 2] How do you like doing that? I'm looking for something in advertising.

[Speaker 1] It's fairly rewarding. I mostly engage with the team supervisors and work on mentoring and developing them. I have a great team and they are wonderful to work with. Advertising sounds interesting, have you worked in that line before?

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a really fulfilling job. How long have you been doing it? Yes I majored in marketing communications and got a job with Coors, but I was recently let go unfortunately. I'd love to get back into the game - "Mad Men" is a big inspiration haha - have you watched it?

[Speaker 1] I've been doing it for over 10 years. And yhes I love Mad Men! That's a great show! Who is your favorite character?

I do a daily run. My hobbies are dancing and I used to play hockey.

I have asthma.

I have an older and a younger brother.

I live in Okla.  I manage a call center for a telecommunications company. I've been at my job for over 10 years. I love the show Mad Men.

I'm looking for a position in advertising. I majored in marketing communications. I was let go from my previous job working with Coors.  I am back home.

I live in Denver, Colorado.

I don't have any hobbies.

I have parents and a older brother.

The show Mad Men is an inspiration to me.

[Speaker 1] Have you done any preparation for your interviews next week?

[Speaker 2] I have done some preparation, I am nervous to venture into a new role in advertising. Do you have any tips for my interviews? You must have a lot of experience with hiring for the call center.

[Speaker 1] It's exciting to be switching roles! Hmm, I'd say to practice some of the typical interview questions, all kinds of fields ask things like "what's your greatest strength" etc. Knowing how you'll answer can help a lot

[Speaker 2] That's some great advice! I never know what to say for the "greatest strength" and "greatest weakness" questions even though they come up in almost every interview!

[Speaker 1] I hate greatest weakness. I never ask it when I'm interviewing people, but a lot of places do. I've been told to come up with an answer that shows introspection but wouldn't actually be a huge weakness in the job you're interviewing for

[Speaker 2] Yes, well, let's hope I don't get that question but I'll be prepared for it regardless! How are things going with you? How was your run today?

[Speaker 1] It was good, I managed to go 3 miles! It's hard with my asthma, but I'm hoping to run a short race soon.

[Speaker 2] Wow, good for you! I need to develop some hobbies...other than watching Mad Men haha. Maybe I should start getting into running although with my lack of fitness and being back in Denver in this altitude it might prove to be a challenge to begin with.

[Speaker 1] Haha Mad Men is addicting. That's true, I didn't think about altitude. You could start out slow, I remember when just going around the block was a challenge for me but I'm glad powered through

[Speaker 2] You gotta start somewhere! You seem to live a very active life which is great! Do you prefer running or dancing?

[Speaker 1] I think dancing. Running keeps me in shape more, but dancing is more fun. It is challenging though, but it's always different and I love moving to music

[Speaker 2] Dancing seems like a lot of fun, and difficult! What is your favorite style of dance?

[Speaker 2] Social media mainly LOL but also photo editing. Sometimes I'll also download the top games on the app store.

[Speaker 1] I've tested a few fun games. I don't really use social media I spend a lot of time watching anime anime reading menga.

[Speaker 2] I've only ever watched a little anime when I was at a friend's house, have you got a favourite that you think I would enjoy?

[Speaker 1] One piece is my number one but i just finished Parasyte it was cool to watch. WHat do you  do for fun?

[Speaker 2] I like to watch cooking shows on the food channels, makes me feel happy but also, hungry.

[Speaker 1] I couldn't put myself through that i eat all the time id have to make it that instant lol. Do you have a favorite recipe?

[Speaker 2] I love pasta, so I would probably say macaroni and cheese. What's your favourite dish currently?

[Speaker 1] I love steak and lobster i try to eat it at least once a week. WE have a place that makes lobster mac and cheese have you ever tried that?

[Speaker 2] No, I'll have to remember to check that out, it's making my mouth water just thinking about it.

My name is Tommy. My nickname is Bulma.

I love Manga.

I don't use social media. I watch anime.

I like steak and lobster.

My brother and I both have red hair.

I travel sometimes.

My nickname is Bubblegum.

I love to sing in the shower.

I have social media. I play games on my phone.

I like watching cooking shows. I like pasta food. I haven't had lobster mac and cheese.

[Speaker 1] I was busy watching manga.

[Speaker 2] What kind of manga is it? That is, what's its story?

[Speaker 1] It's about a dystopian future where technology has wiped out most of the human race. It feels eerily real!

[Speaker 2] Sounds interesting. How is the art?

[Speaker 1] It's pretty intricate and vivid. I'm really impressed with it! Very different from your cooking shows, I'm sure.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like my kind of story. What got you into manga in the first place?

[Speaker 1] A friend of mine introduced me to it when I was in school. How did you first get into cooking?

[Speaker 2] My mom beat it into me. She wanted me to be self-sufficient early in life. Been cooking on my own since I was 10 years old.

[Speaker 1] That's such a useful skill to have. Have you had a chance to look around for a lobster mac and cheese recipe?

[Speaker 2] I actually started yesterday. I was surprised at the number of recipes available.

[Speaker 1] Very cool! I'll be interested to hear how you like it. Have you ever made lobster at home?

[Speaker 2] Never have. But I want to. Branching out to new foods and recipes will sharpen my cooking.


I used to live out of the country.

I am only eight years old.

I'm staying at home with my family until I graduate.

[Speaker 2] Hi. Good. I was thinking of going swimming to night. How about you?

[Speaker 1] I was thinking about playing some futbol tonight

[Speaker 2] Fun! You sound like you enjoy sports. Me too. I like to run marathons.

[Speaker 1] I also love to paint pictures

[Speaker 2] Do you do still life paintings? I've an apple you could paint, a favorite.

[Speaker 1] I like to draw portraits of my family

[Speaker 2] Sounds like you are very artistic. Could do a painting of winter, my favorite?

[Speaker 1] Perhaps I am getting used to living in the us

[Speaker 2] Yeah. I like it here. Night time is so tiring. I wish it was morning.

[Speaker 1] The time change is not easy on me

[Speaker 2] I could believe that. Jet lag can make for exhaustion.

[Speaker 1] I can't wait for summer camp to start!

[Speaker 2] I have not been to camp in a long time.


I do not like to change my style.
I can move my body to music.
I donate my time to rescues.
I hate western bands.

I can move my body to music.
I do not like to change my style.
I donate my time to rescues.
I hate western bands.

[Speaker 1] Hi! What is your favorite kind of music?

[Speaker 2] I like rock, country music makes me cringe.

[Speaker 1] I hate country music too. Probably because I don't know how to dance to it

[Speaker 2] I love to dance, not to brag but I'm an incredible dancer!

[Speaker 1] Hmmm do you like volunteering?

[Speaker 2] Yes! I volunteer at various animal shelters, but my hair gets in the way.

[Speaker 1] Yeah mine too.. Washing hair that is down to your knees is a pain huh?

[Speaker 2] Yes! My hair is blonde and goes down to my knees as well.

[Speaker 1] I know right? So am I the only one wondering if we are twins?!

[Speaker 2] We may be! What do you do for fun?

[Speaker 1] The volunteer thing mostly. Though I wonder if I make my money in singles...

[Speaker 2] What do you mean about the money?

[Speaker 1] Oh I'm just being silly. What do you say to your twin?

[Speaker 2] I should teach you how to dance!


My favorite color is red.
I ve a dog.
I m looking for a job.
I m not very tall.
I ve two siblings.

My father was a cook.
I'm a fisherman.
He worked hard.
He later became a bartender.

He loves his job.

[Speaker 1] Hi I love the the color red and I am searching for work.

[Speaker 2] Cool. What kind of work are you looking for?

[Speaker 1] I I am looking for csr position possibly work fro. Home.

[Speaker 2] What do you like to do for fun?

[Speaker 1] I love to spend time alone with my dog.

[Speaker 2] What kind of dog do you have?

[Speaker 1] A golden retriever. He's quite friendly, some times he walks me because

[Speaker 2] I like animals too, but I like catching them... Fish mostly

[Speaker 1] I am short, my two siblings who are younger than me are taller than me

[Speaker 2] I do not have any siblings, it was just me and my dad

[Speaker 1] I understand my siblings pick on me.

[Speaker 2] That is too bad, makes me glad I was an only child

[Speaker 1] Lol yeah, it isn't always bad.

[Speaker 2] What do your parents do for work?

I like the color red.

I am looking for a CSR (customer service representative) position. I would like to work from home.

I have a golden retriever.

I have two younger siblings. I am short. My siblings pick on me.

I like to fish.

I am an only child. I did not grow up with my mother.

[Speaker 1] Where is the best place to fish around here?

[Speaker 2] Usually the lakes are the best followed by the rivers.  It really all depends on what type of fishing that you want to do.

[Speaker 1] I like all fishing, I find it very relaxing and renewing. I don't really care what type of fishing it is, I just like being out in nature and relaxing. How are you doing with your search for a job?

[Speaker 2] Not so good at the moment.  I'm still looking for the perfect fit, you know what I mean?  I wish I could find a job out in nature because I really love that.  How is your job hunt going?

[Speaker 1] I wish you luck with the job hunt. I actually got a job that I really like, believe it or not I found a job in a fishing tackle store. I really love the position.

[Speaker 2] That's great! Do you get discounts on purchases you make there and stuff?

[Speaker 1] I do get discounts, that is a great perk of this job. How have you been, have your siblings been cutting you some slack?

[Speaker 2] Well actually I am an only child. What about you and your siblings?

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry, I was just speaking to another friend who was telling me about his brothers. Of course I remember you are an only child. My siblings have been tolerating me a bit more than usual, I guess they are maturing with age. How was it being an only child, who raised you since it wasn't your mother?

[Speaker 2] It was good. My grandmother was wonderful in every way!  She more than made up the difference. I am glad to hear about your siblings by the way. Sometimes I wished I had brothers and sisters.

[Speaker 1] They can actually be good to have around at times. They just give me a lot of teasing because, even though I am the oldest I am the shortest out of us three. I have grown used to that, and don't take them seriously. I'm glad you had such a great grandmother!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, thanks for that.  I bet that teasing can be fun.  You can tease them right back for being giants, lol!

I like the color red.

I was looking for a CSR (customer service representative) position. I would like to work from home. I got a new job. I work in a fishing tackle store. I like my new job.

I have a golden retriever.

I have two younger siblings. I am the shortest of my siblings. My siblings pick on me.

I like fishing. I like being out in nature. I get discounts at the fishing tackle store.

I was raised by my grandmother. I wish I had siblings.I did not grow up with my mother.

I like to fish. I know the best places to fish.

I am looking for a job. I want a job out in nature.

[Speaker 1] My new store manager is really nice and taught me everything I need

[Speaker 2] Oh that's great! What is your position there? I don't remember you telling me.

[Speaker 1] It's another CSR position, but it's much better than my old one! It really aligns perfectly with my interests.

[Speaker 2] Great! I might come in there one day, I need to buy some new fish bait, mine isn't working very well, I haven't been able to catch anything at all lately!

[Speaker 1] That's a shame! What do you think the problem has been? Have you been using quality bait?

[Speaker 2] Probably not, it's my dad's bait, and he never did catch much fish!  If I come in do you think I could get a discount?

[Speaker 1] I can definitely check! At the very least, I could pass along my employee discount. Live bait isn't eligible, though.

[Speaker 2] Great! Thanks! I'm glad you got a job that you like! I know you were wanting to work from home but I think you'll like it better interacting with people. I'm hoping to get that job as an assistant park ranger, I don't want an inside job, I have to be outdoors.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like an amazing opportunity! What do you have to do to lock down a position like that? I wouldn't even know where to start!

[Speaker 2] My dad knows the park ranger actually and he was talking to him the other day. He mentioned me when he found out he was looking for an assistant. I would be under his supervision all the time, just help him with whatever he does and learn the ropes and hopefully I could move up someday to park ranger.

[Speaker 1] You're so lucky to have that connection! How did your dad first get to know the park ranger?

[Speaker 2] He's known him for a long time, they used to work together. My grandmother was telling me that they were like best friends back then.

[Speaker 2] I love the feeling of racing around the rink. Do you like to watch the NHL? I follow it pretty actively. My favorite is the Pittsburgh Penguins.

[Speaker 1] Yah I like that cool feeling of ice and speed too. My favourite NHL team is the Chicago Blackhaws. The Penguins are good too.

[Speaker 2] Have you seen Red Bull's Crashed Ice? I'd love to compete in it someday, it looks like so much fun! I'm kind of an adrenaline junkie.

[Speaker 1] That would be an awesome experience. What other adrenaline things do you like. Hopefully not bar fights haha, I see alot of those at my bar.

[Speaker 2] That seems like it could be bad for business. I love to race dirtbikes and do motocross, plus downhill skiing/snowboarding. I'll try a lot of activities once.

[Speaker 1] One of my ex husbands used to love those activities too, he was also an adrenaline junkie lol

[Speaker 2] Does your bar have a certain theme? My uncle used to own a restaurant, it was an Italian one. He sold it when he got older.

[Speaker 2] Plants? That's interesting, that's all I'll eat.

[Speaker 1] Yeah the green things....... Your body needs more than that.

[Speaker 2] Yes, sometimes I think I will eat one of my 23 cats, but alas, I'm vegan.

[Speaker 1] God bless your soul. I have a lizard as a pet. Gila is her name.

[Speaker 2] Nice. Does she like fish? I cannot stand the taste.

[Speaker 1] I am sure she doesn't. There's different variations of cooked fish.

[Speaker 2] I like contractions too much to do this quickly. That is why I paint?

[Speaker 1] People who love purple do not like contractions.

[Speaker 2] Interesting, so they work, just do not include apostrophe. Nice, like cats.

[Speaker 1] I totally understand what your saying.

[Speaker 2] I'm glad to know. I understand you, but not myself.

[Speaker 1] Well maybe you should get to know yourself.

[Speaker 2] I agree in principle, but I find the actual task frightening.

i have brown eyes.
I have a pet lizard named Gila.

i like to paint. i've visited islands.

im a vegan.

i have 23 cats.

I hate the taste of fish.

i like contractions.

I think getting to know yourself is scary.

[Speaker 1] how is your island painting coming along?

[Speaker 2] It's coming along great! How's your pet lizard Gila?

[Speaker 1] Gila is doing great! I have considered getting other pets such as cats. How are your cats doing?

[Speaker 2] They're great and really low maintenance despite having so many. I think you should consider getting a cat but maybe not 23 of them.

[Speaker 1] Maybe just 1 cat to start. What do cats like to eat?

[Speaker 2] They like to eat tuna and cat food.

[Speaker 1] At least your cats can eat all of your tuna :) Have you ever painted a picture of any of your cats?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I've painted a lot of pictures of my cats. Have you considered trying to paint?

[Speaker 1] I have not tried painting yet, but I am interested in it. How did you get started painting?

[Speaker 2] My grandfather liked to paint and he introduced me to it when I was young.

[Speaker 1] You must be a really good painter from starting at a young age. Are you a professional painter?

[Speaker 2] No I'm just a hobbyist but I'd like to think I'm a fairly good painter.

I have brown eyes.

I have a pet lizard named Gila.

I consider buying a cat.

I am interested in painting. I haven't tried yet.

I like to paint. I am a good painter. I've visited islands.  I am painting an island.

I'm a vegan.

I hate the taste of fish.

I like contractions.

I have 23 cats. they need only low maintenance. my cats like to eat tuna and cat food. I have painted a lot of pictures of my cat.

I had a grandfather. he liked to paint. he introduced me painting when i was young.

[Speaker 1] can you teach me painting one day?

[Speaker 2] Of course! That would be fun, I love teaching people how to paint, maybe you can paint your lizard Gila, haha

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that would be worth getting a video of LOL.  Little stinker wouldn't stay still long enough!!  What have you been painting lately?

[Speaker 2] I've been working on that island painting, it's coming along quite well actually, I'll have to show you!

[Speaker 1] Very cool, an island vacation would be great about now!!  Maybe you could take your cats to the islands some day, for a vacay

[Speaker 2] Ha! That's too many cats to take on vacation! I painted a picture with all of them one time, I needed a real big canvas for that one, lol! My grandfather was a better painter than me, he would have loved the one of the cats though! Are you still going to get a cat?

[Speaker 1] I'm sure that painting took a while, trying to get all the cats to behave and sit still long enough LOL  Not sure if I'll get a cat, my only fear is how the feline and gila would get along.  They might not bother each other though.

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah, that's right, you wouldn't want the cat to try and eat gila!  I have to buy lots of catfood and tuna for my cats, the house stinks all the time, they are no trouble though, I don't know how I ended up with all them cats!

[Speaker 1] You probably go thru a BUNCH of cat food each week.  But yes, we'll have to get together and you can show me some tips/tricks about painting.  I would love to paint my own island picture!!

[Speaker 2] The best thing to do to paint an island is to actually go there, that's what I did. My grandpa always told me that so one day I decided to save up and last year I went to Tahiti, what a time. I'm glad I have the painting to remember it by.  So you will have to think of what island you would like to paint!

[Speaker 1] Good idea, plus it's a good excuse to visit the islands!!  Have fun and learn painting at the same time...I like it.  I dunno, it's hard to pick a particular island, as I want to visit them all.  However, Hawaii has always been somewhere I want to visit.  My grandparents went several times and they said it was great.

[Speaker 2] That would be a great one to paint! And a fun time to be had! I went there one time on a fishing expedition. But I hate fish or any kind of  meat so I just caught fish and threw them back.

[Speaker 2] Sure. We can hang out in the new mansion I just bought afterwards.

[Speaker 2] Yeah. I'm a rapper touring with frank ocean. I named my pool frank.

[Speaker 1] Cool, I like frank ocean a lot

[Speaker 2] My new mansion is the biggest in the country. It will be a blast.

[Speaker 1] I want to go there, plant some roses

[Speaker 2] That would be great. Please plant a lot.

[Speaker 1] I'd love to. It would be the best

[Speaker 2] What colors will the roses be?

[Speaker 1] Red, pink, yellow, white, orange

[Speaker 2] That will be very pretty. Those are my favorite colors.

[Speaker 2] That sounds amazing! I wish I had some decent running trails around here, but I just run through our neighborhood. But yes, I've gone on two runs this week and will be heading out for another in about 30 minutes.

[Speaker 1] Awesome! I just recently got my husband to start running with me. Does running help your stress?

[Speaker 2] Oh how does he like it? And yes, it helps with my stress A LOT! In fact it is really my best outlet.

[Speaker 1] He is hanging in there. How are you liking your class this year?

[Speaker 2] The students that I do have in attendance are very attentive and eager to learn. I think they mostly just missed the social interaction with their fellow students over the past year. I just wish all of my kids were here in class.

[Speaker 1] Why aren't they in class?

[Speaker 2] Well some of them are sick. There's a really nasty stomach bug going around.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow that's horrible. I would like kids one day but I would worry about them so much if they were sick.

[Speaker 2] Oh I know! It's sad when they get sick, you just want to do whatever you can to make them feel better! But really, don't let that stop you. Have some kids!

[Speaker 1] I havent talked to you in a while. How have you been doing? How has teaching been?

[Speaker 2] It's been stressful, same as before, but I'm slowly getting more used to the online teaching format.

[Speaker 1] I can imagine it is a difficult transition. I hate working from I missing being able to get out of the house. What grade do you teach?

[Speaker 2] I teach grade 4, it's hard to keep kids that young concentrating on a screen for long, you know. How are you liking staying home nowdays?

[Speaker 1] Oh man, they're so young to try and keep focused. Do you make them keep their cameras on? Ah that would stress me out too and I don't even have OCD. The dogs are loving me living from home that's for sure but as much as I'm a homebody I'm ready to get out.

[Speaker 2] Yah I kinda force them to keep their cameras on, otherwise I'm suspicious they're not actually there. My OCD again I guess. We should go running together sometime.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! Have you been on any good trails now that the weather is getting nicer?

[Speaker 2] I've just been running in circles in the park near my house. Do you know any good trails?

[Speaker 1] I have been exploring some of the trails in the foothills lately but don't really have a favorite. I let the get their energy out up there. I've been thinking about trying to cook some vegan stuff any suggestions?

[Speaker 2] I wouldn't mind trying running near the foothills too, but cooking makes me want to die lol

[Speaker 1] Bwahahaha I would cook a vegan lunch after our run I just have no idea where to start and the hubs is 100% carnivore.

[Speaker 2] oh we can do a pasta party, carb load before our run!


They call me anne.

I work many odd jobs.

[Speaker 1] Hey!

[Speaker 2] Hello there

[Speaker 1] How are you? My name is sarah, whats yours?

[Speaker 2] Busy busy! My name is becca

[Speaker 1] Nice to meet you becca, I have a student with that same name

[Speaker 2] That is wild! A girl named sarah introduced me to veganism at work last year, changed my life.

[Speaker 1] Wow! That's crazy

[Speaker 2] What do you teach?

[Speaker 1] I have been reading books about veganism, I have been thinking of making the change to it, myself

[Speaker 2] The urban farm I volunteer at encourages me to try new things, so that helps.

[Speaker 1] I teach 5th grade math

[Speaker 2] That sounds rewarding. I've always enjoyed math.

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you? I just got home from playing racquetball at the gym.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like fun. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 1] I do have a pup, he is amazing.

[Speaker 2] Animals are fun! I like to be all alone with my cat because people are over rated

[Speaker 1] I agree, that is why I watch a lot of tv.

[Speaker 2] I like to sew and I wait tables. I lead a pretty boring life I guess

[Speaker 1] I eat italian and read poetry, lol. I am boring too

[Speaker 2] We need something in our lives beyond cats and dogs!

[Speaker 1] Have you read middlesex? I love forensic files and jeopardy.

[Speaker 2] You.. Need whiskey. Or something

[Speaker 1] I do not drink alcohol and I am a vegetarian.

[Speaker 2] Then.. You need whiskey and a big steak!

[Speaker 1] I prefer a nice eggplant parm and manicotti

[Speaker 2] Ok ok I could handle the eggplant. As long as it was seasoned well!

[Speaker 1] Mine always is. The secret is in the cheese.

[Speaker 2] I love cheese! Almost as much as steak and whiskey!

I play racquetball.

I have a dog.

I eat Italian food and read poetry.

I love Forensic Files and Jeopardy.

I do not drink alcohol and I am a vegetarian. I prefer eggplant parm and manicotti.

I have a cat.

I like to sew. I am a waiter/waitress.

[Speaker 1] I added lots of cheese to my eggplant parm.

[Speaker 2] What kind of cheese do you use?

[Speaker 1] Mozzarella. Sometimes I'll try something else like fontina.

[Speaker 2] What type of dog do you have?

[Speaker 1] She's a mixed breed. A little bit of black lab and some unknown stuff. What kind of cat do you have?

[Speaker 2] I have a tuxedo cat. We picked her up from the shelter. She is very playful. Where did you get your dog?

[Speaker 1] My dog is a shelter dog as well. Plenty of great pets there. I have a friend who doesn't trust shelter pets, but I disagree.

[Speaker 2] I really like shelter pets, plus I think it helps out a lot. What is your favorite vegetarian dish?

[Speaker 1] I like Italian food, like manicotti and ravioli, and risotto with mushrooms and parmesan cheese. I am a vegetarian, but I love cheese.

[Speaker 2] That is a good compromise. Do you ever have the craving for meat?

[Speaker 1] Yes, sometimes. And I occasionally eat some, like once twice a year I'll add bacon to my pasta or something. I'm not an absolutist.

[Speaker 2] That probably helps. I wish I liked vegetables more, I would probably be more healthy

I play racquetball.

I eat Italian food and read poetry.

I love Forensic Files and Jeopardy.

I do not drink alcohol. I still eat meat on occasion, even though I am a vegetarian. I prefer eggplant parm and manicotti. I love cheese.

I have a mixed breed dog who is part black lab. My dog is from a shelter.

I like to sew. I am a waiter/waitress.

I love cheese almost as much as steak and whiskey. I do not like vegetables.

I have a tuxedo cat. I got my cat from a shelter.

[Speaker 1] How is your cat doing today? And have you been doing any cool sewing projects lately?

[Speaker 2] My cat is doing well, other than he puked in my work shoes and I found it by stepping in them this morning! I just started a quilt, it's just a simple precut strip quilt though!

[Speaker 1] Oh yuk, that's awful, I can just imagine you stepping into the shoes, now I'm laughing, ha, reminds me of my dog, he ran off with my sock and swallowed it and threw it up three days later, those animals!  the quilt sounds nice, I can't sew worth a darn!

[Speaker 2] That reminds me of my old neighbor's Labrador! He tried to eat anything that wasn't food! Rocks, socks, flowers! I swear he was at the vet twice a year for eating things. I love to sew, this project is a wedding gift for a friend.

[Speaker 1] Wow, that's a nice gift! Are you still enjoying working at the restaraunt? How is that going?

[Speaker 2] I am! It's going really well, they might make me a manager soon. I thankfully have a spare pair of work shoes or I was going to be late. I work at a Chinese place so thankfully things are low key.

[Speaker 1] Great! Wow, and you haven't even been there that long, do they have a lot of vegan food there? I might try it.

[Speaker 2] I do but two of the managers are leaving and so are a waitress. They do have some vegan food-we have a great sweet and sour tofu as well as a few seitan dishes. I don't know what kind of food you like. We're tasty and pretty quick to serve you too.

[Speaker 1] I normally love italian food, it's my favorite but I do also like Chinese food. If there is a little bit of meat it's ok, I can't go completely vegan, ha! That's hard to do I found out. Tonight I'm making my favorite, egglant parm and manicoti, I just have to go to the store for some cheese, can't have it without the cheese!

[Speaker 2] That sounds super tasty! I decided to try a vegan recipe from YouTube the other day for making tofu pepperoni. SO GOOD. I generally limit the meat I eat but still eat some.

[Speaker 1] That does sound good, YouTube has some good idea's.  I usually go on there to watch Forensic Files and Jeopardy also.

[Speaker 2] It popped up in my suggestions, I think I mostly watch cooking videos and crafting videos. They had a recipe for budget vegan pizza that sounded interesting to try.

[Speaker 1] Wow that's crazy, I only have to take care of my lizard.

[Speaker 2] Enjoy! I worked hard all my life, now I enjoy being active with them.

[Speaker 1] I don't like kids, I was an only child so I wasn't around any.

[Speaker 2] That is ok. Sometimes I like being by myself.

[Speaker 1] I do too, its peaceful being alone in my garden with my plants.

[Speaker 2] Love orchids! I do not need any meds, so I buy exotic orchids.

[Speaker 1] I love purple orchids, what is your favorite?

[Speaker 2] Vandas, some of them have the most beautiful fragrance.

[Speaker 1] They do, but sometimes they mess up my allergies. Its worth it!

[Speaker 2] Thank god I do not have any health issues. Not common in retired people!

[Speaker 1] Most retired people just sit around, gotta keep moving to keep healthy!

[Speaker 2] I'm more than active, between the kids and my daily exercise, I move plenty.

I have one lizard.
I was an only child.
I have a garden. I love purple orchids.
I have allergies.

I take care of my 9 grandkids. I am retired.

I am not on any medications. I have good health. I am active.

My favorite orchid is Vandas.

[Speaker 1] I have been working in my garden. How are your grandkids?

[Speaker 2] They're growing up so fast! What garden progress did you make? Flowers or crops?

[Speaker 1] The weather hasn't been cooperating with me over here. It has kept me inside but I have been building a new compost system in the garadge.

[Speaker 2] Weather where I am has been messy too. I'm down in Texas, and we've had rolling blackouts and water issues for days. We got an alert this morning that the entire city is on a boil water notice!

[Speaker 1] I live outside of Fort Worth until recently. Looks terrible, what you folks are going through now. Weather is a strange beast.

[Speaker 2] Weather is for sure strange, and this is just so unexpected. I wasn't prepared for anything like this, just praying that my grandkids stay safe

[Speaker 1] So how do the orchids feel about all this cold weather? Grandkids in a warm spot?

[Speaker 2] Orchids are certainly not cold weather plants, I took them and my grandkids to my friends house. She's on the same electrical grid as the hospitals so her power never goes out.

[Speaker 1] Super cool that you have that option. You need to take care of that friend! Good thing you have your health. Are the hospitals avercrowded at all?

[Speaker 2] I think right now they're not over capacity, but I'm not quite sure. Texans are very cautious about this sort of thing so very few people are out on the roads

[Speaker 1] Are you getting out and getting excercise or is all your energy spent keeping warm?

[Speaker 2] Way too cold for exercise, other than indoor walks. For now we are very focused on just keeping everything together. But enough about me. What's something fun you've done in the past few days?

I have one lizard.

I was an only child.

I have a garden. I love purple orchids.

I have allergies.

I have built a compost system.  I have a garage. I live outside of Fort Worth.

My favorite orchid is Vandas. I grow Orchids.

I live in Texas. I was not prepared for unusual weather. My friend's house in on an electrical grid that never goes out. I walk indoors for exercise during the cold weather.

[Speaker 1] My allergies seem to be getting worse.

[Speaker 2] Oh no! Is it because you have been spending to much time in the garden?

[Speaker 1] I don't think it would matter if I was outside or inside. Everything here is dusted with green pollen. But I love my garden and it needs to be taken care of. How are your Orchids doing?

[Speaker 2] They are all bloomed out for the year so now it's just about throwing an ice cube on them once a week so they make it through the season. The weather has everything thrown off here including my orchids.

[Speaker 1] I know my lizard likes ice cubes in his water during extremely hot, dry days, but what does an ice cube do for Orchids?

[Speaker 2] It allows the water to penetrate the roots otherwise they basically get rinsed with water and nothing absorbs. I used to think animals were difficult until I started playing with Orchids. What kind of lizard do you have again?

[Speaker 1] He's a black-throated monitor. He's only about 4 feet long from nose to tale at the moment, but he can get up to 7 feet. I've trained him to walk with a halter collar. It's a lot of fun to walk him in our neighborhood! I've turned the spare bedroom into his 'abode' so he's not loose in the house. It's very safe.

[Speaker 2] Oh my gosh I can't even image you walking your lizard around the block, please send me a picture next time you guys are out I love that. How old is he? Will he just keep growing?

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure how old he is--he's a rescue. But he's actually very affectionate. He'll stop growing around 7 feet or less. But he has quite a personality! He actually prefers the attention of women over men--it's quite comical to watch him ignore a man. lol

[Speaker 2] I bet your neighbors love seeing you two stroll around the neighborhood. Are you able to feed him out of your garden or does he need a special diet?

[Speaker 1] He's actually a meat eater, so I buy frozen mice to feed him. He also eats eggs. If he catches bugs or birds while we're outside, that's part of his natural diet. I was so glad to hear that you still enjoy good health. That's so important! Do those sweet grandbabies of yours help with your Orchid hobby?

[Speaker 2] Oh they love to come in and help with everything that's for sure!! They keep trying to talk me into a garden, maybe I should send them over to you!

[Speaker 1] I've kids too, but I do not cook. We mainly eat fast food and love it

[Speaker 2] Do you order online? I find shopping for everything online makes it easier.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I do, I don't have a lot of energy after cleaning.

[Speaker 2] Do you do any sports? Swimming helps me keep my energy up.

[Speaker 1] No, unless being a stay at home mom is a sport? Or watching movies

[Speaker 2] It is! I think of reading as a sport. Do you prefer books movies?

[Speaker 1] Definitely watching a lot of movies.

[Speaker 2] Is that part of your job?

[Speaker 1] I'd say so ; how about you?

[Speaker 2] Books! Specifically fantasy genre. Harry potter and the like.

[Speaker 1] The harry potter movies are the best!

[Speaker 2] Not very true to the books!

[Speaker 1] I do! I have a roommate too! My little brother but we go to preschool together.

[Speaker 2] Oh you are very young! You must not like beer just like me!

[Speaker 1] No but my daddy lets me sip. What do you want to be when you grow up?

[Speaker 2] A doctor. But for now I am only working part time. You?

[Speaker 1] That's cool. I want to be a spaceship driver!

[Speaker 2] That sounds cool! Anything else you want to tell me?

[Speaker 1] I climb trees. What do you like to listen to?

[Speaker 2] I like to listen to all kinds of music. I love them all!

[Speaker 1] Do you play any instruments for fun?

[Speaker 2] I don't but I used to play the piano when I was your age!

Mom in telecommunications.

I am a student living at home while pursuing my music industry degree.

Both my parents are creative.

I dream of playing music for a living.

My dad works in the automotive industry.

I cannot wait to start my new life.
I hope it to become a doctor one day.
I make and me by waiting tables.
Until then I'll make 215 an hour.

Mother in phone stuff.

I'm with family and practicing the guitar.

My mom is an artist.

I would much rather get paid to play my guitar all day.

My pop makes cars.

I just got a divorce.
I want to help people.
I am a waiter.
I earn hourly pay.

[Speaker 1] Hello. How are you today?

[Speaker 2] Pretty good, you? I cant wait to start a new life

[Speaker 1] Awesome! I'm looking to do the same by entering the music industry

[Speaker 2] That is great, I hope to become a dr

[Speaker 1] Wow that's awesome. I am still studying for my degree, how about you?

[Speaker 2] I am in dr school now

[Speaker 1] Wow congratulations! My dad works with cars and mom works in call centers

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah that is great, I get by waiting tables now, what you do for a living

[Speaker 1] I currently don't have a job, I'm a full time student

[Speaker 2] That is great I have to work to pay my tuition, expensive

[Speaker 1] I know it. All the equipment I need is seriously draining my savings.

[Speaker 2] I understand that, I depend on tips

[Speaker 1] Oh I see. Do you usually get generous tips?

[Speaker 2] It depends on the night but some nights make up for others

I want to enter the music industry. I am a full-time student.

I am unemployed.

I have a savings account.

I am in school to be a doctor.

[Speaker 1] How do you manage your time between studying for school and work?

[Speaker 2] It's definitely tough, but it's the only way I can afford med school. Med school is so expensive, if I don't wait tables, I'll have so much debt when I graduate.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I bet - thats a big deal! When do you graduate?

[Speaker 2] Just one year from now. It will definitely be a tough year, but there's light at the end of the tunnel. How's school going for you?

[Speaker 1] The final stretch! That's awesome. Are you specializing in anything? School is OK for me - I'm studying supply chain management. It's really interesting so far.

[Speaker 2] No specialties yet. I don't think I specialize until my residency. Supply chain management sounds interesting. Are you still thinking about trying to enter the music industry?

[Speaker 1] What are you thinking you might specialize in? I do want to enter the music industry, but as more of a hobby. I've become a little disillusioned in the ability to make a successful career in music. I need something more stable.

[Speaker 2] Currently, I'm thinking of specializing in neurology. My grandmother passed away from Alzheimer's, so I would like to be able to help people suffering from it. Yeah, the music industry can be really difficult. Especially nowadays with so much competition.

[Speaker 1] Wow, that's so interesting. I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. Alzheimer's is an awful disease. I'm so impressed you're taking on that challenge. You're a hero! Do you know where your residency would be?

[Speaker 2] Nope. I won't know until later this year. I put in my top choices, but the hospital has to also select me. There's a chance I could wind up being on the opposite side of the country.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow - would you be OK with that?

[Speaker 2] Unfortunately I don't really have a choice. If I don't accept where they place me, I won't have any hospital to do my residency at. It can be a frustrating process, but hopefully I get my first choice.

I want to enter the music industry. I am a full-time student studying supply chain management. I am unemployed.

I have a savings account.

I am in med school to be a doctor. I will graduate in a year.

I have a job waiting tables. I make tuition payments. I earn tips. I am working to avoid debt.

I might specialize in neurology. My grandmother passed away from Alzeimer's. I might have to move once I match up for residency after graduation.

[Speaker 1] I have a friend that is interested in applying to med school. Would you mind meeting them to answer a few questions they have?

[Speaker 2] Oh of course, I'd be happy to do that. I can't believe i

[Speaker 1] Awesome! Thank you so much for helping her out, shes a highschool graduate and wants to start on the right path! how is your waiting tables coming along? Incredible that next year you will be a doctor with a nice salary! you are Goals

[Speaker 2] Oh it's going pretty well. I make great tips. Anything to avoid debt! How are your studies coming along?

[Speaker 1] Cool! are you guys hiring? I really need to get a job in the meantime. I feel like its taking forever to obtain my supply chain management. I know Ive been a full time student for a while but I need income. If you can do it being a Med student I think I can too. is it hard juggling schedules?

[Speaker 2] It's not too bad, juggling. My manager is super sympathetic and works with me to give me certain shifts. I'd be happy to put in a good word for you!

[Speaker 1] Maybe you can put in a good word for me? or better yet once you land your doctor job you can get me in the hospital maybe I can land a job in the administration side of the hospital? what do you think? thank you so much for helping me and my friend. I have to start paying tuition I want to avoid debt at all cost

[Speaker 2] I would love to help you out! Yes, the college debt burden is awful for so many people. My brother works for Nike, and they offer paid internships for supply chain majors. Interested?

[Speaker 1] Yay thank you so much!

[Speaker 2] You have picked a really awesome career path. You'll probably end up making a lot more money than me as a doctor!

[Speaker 1] Thank you so much, I am very nervous about it, seems like I have not been able to accomplish anything in life I am hoping I at least finish this degree. I would love to get with your brother and see if i can work with him

[Speaker 2] I'm happy to connect you. And I know someday, you will pay it forward to someone else. I have had my challenges too. Just keep going!


I'd like to open a restaurant someday.

I love creating new recipes.

In my free time, I watch movies and sleep.

My favorite color is hunter green.

I'm a personal chef.

The weather here is very cold, but so beautiful in the spring.

I love to hike in the summer.

My favorite band is one direction.

I love to ski in the winter.

My name is mary and I m from colorado.

I like cooking for people.

I really like coming up with unique culinary creations.

I nap often during films.

I love dark colors, especially the shade of the ny jets uniforms.

I cook for myself.

The temperature here is quite brisk and yet it is gorgeous after the thaw.

I enjoy walking through nature when the weather is warm.

Boy bands are the best!.

When it snows I enjoy outdoor sports.

I loved from up north.

[Speaker 1] Hi there! What do you do for a living?

[Speaker 2] I am a bud tender for a local colorado dispensary

[Speaker 1] Oh wow! That must be an interesting job!

[Speaker 2] It is, leaves plenty of time to hike in the summers

[Speaker 1] Hiking is great! My favorite hobbies are watching movies and sleeping, though.

[Speaker 2] Do you like to ski?

[Speaker 1] I've never been. I work as a personal chef so I'm too busy to travel.

[Speaker 2] Ever listen to one direction while cooking? They are my favorite

[Speaker 1] They're great! I love creating recipes and music sometimes can help inspire me.

[Speaker 2] Right! I scored a perfect sat because of their music

[Speaker 1] Wow! That is quite impressive! What is your family like?

[Speaker 2] I've no idea, they all died when I was 4

[Speaker 1] Oh gosh. That's so very sad. I am sorry to hear that!

[Speaker 2] Yea.... But they were junkies so no big deal

I have never been skiing. I work as a personal chef.

I like the music group One Direction.  I like creating recipes.

I am a bud tender.  I work in Colorado.

I hike in the summer.

I scored a perfect SAT.

My family died when I was four. My deceased family membered were drug addicts.

[Speaker 1] I watched one of my favorite movies Independence Day.

[Speaker 2] I've seen that movie, but it's been awhile.  It's about an alien invasion, right?  With Will Smith?

[Speaker 1] Yep! It's been awhile since I've watched it too. It's just as great as I remember.

[Speaker 2] I like Will Smith.  Have you ever seen any of his other movies?

[Speaker 1] I have. I really like Men in Black. How about you?

[Speaker 2] I've seen that- again, it was a long time ago!  However, they just came out with a new one right?  Two movies that Will Smith is in that involve aliens! Do you believe in aliens?

[Speaker 1] I think they did come out with a new one. I haven't seen it, though. I believe in aliens, but don't know if they have ever been to Earth. Based on the size of the universe, it seems like there has to be more life out there.

[Speaker 2] I agree.  The universe is vast.  There has to be aliens.  I have heard people saying that aliens have come to our planet and I would say I agree.  I think I saw an alien when I was a kid.

[Speaker 1] I never have, but I wouldn't necessarily disbelieve anyone who said they did.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, my situation was super strange.  I think the alien talked to me.  The idea terrifies me as I don't know how that undoes the possibility of an afterlife.

[Speaker 1] I've never much thought much of the idea of an afterlife anyways, but I do agree that it casts all sort of doubt on religion and many of our other beliefs about mankind.

[Speaker 2] I'm not certain about an afterlife, but I sure hope there is something that would allow me to see my parents again.

My favorite hobbies are watching movies and sleeping. My favorite movie is Independence Day. I liked Men in Black. I believe in aliens. I have never seen an alien. I believe people have seen aliens. I am not sure if I believe in an afterlife.

I scored a perfect SAT.

My parents both passed away when I was 4. My deceased family membered were drug addicts.

I like Will Smith. I believe in aliens. I think I saw an alien as a kid. I am not sure if I believe in an afterlife.

[Speaker 1] Have you seen Independence Day: Resurgence?

[Speaker 2] Unfortunately not, I think its one that I need to watch though, have you seen it and what did you think of it#

[Speaker 1] I loved it! I think it's an amazing movie. The cast alone is staggering!

[Speaker 2] The lack of Will Smith is a bit disappointing but I find Jeff Goldblum hilarious, if he turns out to be an alien I wouldn't be surprised

[Speaker 1] Haha well you'll have to see it! I agree, Will Smith tends to raise the level of anything he's in. What an amazing actor!

[Speaker 2] Honestly! Who is your favourite actor?

[Speaker 1] I'm a rather big fan of Liam Helmsworth. He's got so much swagger!

[Speaker 2] He does have quite the presence on screen and I do think he is the best out of the 3 Hemsworth brothers

[Speaker 1] No argument from me there! Not to go way off topic, but have you ever had any celebrity clients at the dispensary?

[Speaker 2] Unfortunately Colorado isn't known for many celebrities but I did have 1 comedian called stoner Rob who was doing a tour of dispensaries, very weird guy

[Speaker 1] That sounds hilarious. I'm sure you get some pretty colorful characters there!

[Speaker 2] We get all sorts of life coming through, I feel like they should make a nature documentary on it, I do feel like we need a personal chef at the dispensary, A lot of people suffering from the munchies

[Speaker 2] I love taking my 4 german shepherd for rides in my convertible. Makes me happy.

[Speaker 1] Wow 4? Amazing, I'dn't be able to tolerate that many.

[Speaker 2] Well I rather have my dogs than spend money celebrating holidays.

[Speaker 1] That is reasonable. I need more music on my ipod.

[Speaker 2] What type of music do you put on it?

[Speaker 1] Bluegrass! I love it. I can play that music all day.

[Speaker 2] Oh my gosh another ghost in my house.

[Speaker 1] Oh no, if I was you I would talk to it. Are your afraid of it?

[Speaker 2] No, I see ghosts often.

[Speaker 1] They must be happy to be seen. I'd hate to be invisible.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, they seem to be but I cannot figure out how to communicate with them.

[Speaker 1] Maybe you need to know their names.

[Speaker 2] My religion does not allow me to ask a ghost their name.

I love portabella mushrooms.
Feeling healthier makes me happy.
I love Bluegrass.
I would hate to be invisible.

I spend my money on my dogs instead of celebrating holidays.

I believe in ghosts. I want to communicate with the ghosts in my house. I have religious beliefs.

[Speaker 1] Have you figured out a way to communicate with the ghosts in your house?

[Speaker 2] Not yet, I have been trying several things though. Last night I tried using a spirit box, but only caught a few muffled voices and choppy words.

[Speaker 1] Wow that sounds crazy. Being a ghost must be freaky, you know how I feel about invisible things

[Speaker 2] Yes, I don't blame you. I really wish I could get something back, like a sign or message, from the ghosts, but I don't think I would want to be one wither.

[Speaker 1] I just eat my vegetables and mushrooms to stay healthy. I wanna live for a long time.

[Speaker 2] That sounds good! What all have you been doing to stay healthy?

[Speaker 1] Just eating well and exercising. What about you?

[Speaker 2] I stay active with my dogs. I take them on walks at least every morning, and sometimes in the afternoon if the weather is nice.

[Speaker 1] How are the 4 rascals? Doing well?

[Speaker 2] Yes, they are all happy and healthy. They keep me busy though.

[Speaker 1] how much money do you spend on them a month?

[Speaker 2] It really depends on how many toys or accessories I buy them! I probably spend at least $100 on food each month and then sometimes another $200-300 on grooming and toys.

I exercise and eat healthy foods. I love portabella mushrooms.Feeling healthier makes me happy.

I love Bluegrass.

I would hate to be invisible. I want to live for a long time.

I have 4 german shepherds. I have a convertible. I spend hundreds of dollars each month for each dog instead of celebrating holidays.

I believe in ghosts. I want to communicate with the ghosts in my house. I am trying to record evidence of their presence. I have religious beliefs. I do not want to be a ghost.

[Speaker 1] I took a nap and dreamt I was invisible! It was awful.

[Speaker 2] Haha. What an odd dream. I think I would enjoy being invisible in a dream. I could sneak around and catch what is happening without anyone knowing I am there.

[Speaker 1] Yes, you would think it would be fun but in my dream it was awful! Nobody knew I was there which I thought would be fun, till I realized they weren't ever going to notice I was there, and they also didn't notice that I "wasn't" there, I realized no one even missed me, I'm glad it was a dream! It was like I was a ghost!

[Speaker 2] That's why I think I would like it. I find ghosts fascinating and have been trying to speak to the ones living in my house for years. If I was invisible, I might actually get the chance to do it!

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, you have ghost's? See I don't know if I would like that! I'm more a scaredy cat!  Have you actually seen them or felt their presence?

[Speaker 2] I've definitely heard a bunch of noises that I can't explain and had things move when there was no one else in the house except for me. I'm currently trying to record evidence of their presence. My dogs will also get spooked out of nowhere, which must be when the ghosts are entering the room.

[Speaker 1] That's scary! You would think the ghosts would be afraid of 4 dogs, ha! How are those dogs anyway? They still getting into trouble?

[Speaker 2] Nope. I love them and continue to spoil them rotten. I use up most of my free money on them, but it's worth it to me. Do you have any animals?

[Speaker 1] Nope, no animals but I might get a dog one day, I am always exercising, would be fun to have a dog around to go on walks with and jogs around the lake.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I'm sure if you got a dog they would love that. I enjoy going for runs as well, but since I have 4 dogs, it's impossible to bring them all with me

[Speaker 1] I saw you with them that day in your convertible, they were smaller then but I thought that was pretty humerous, all of them in your convertible with you, hair blowing in the wind and tongues all hanging out, not yours of course, lol!

[Speaker 2] Haha. Yeah, they really enjoy riding around with it and feeling the wind on them. If you do think you want a dog, let me know and I can definitely give you some advice on what type of dog would work best for you.
