[Speaker 2] Awesome, do you work for a big studio?

[Speaker 1] Yes I do, but I'd like to have my own startup company one day

[Speaker 2] Well it seems you are saving and making connections so it should work out.

[Speaker 1] Thank you! If you are interested you can join me

[Speaker 2] That would be awesome, but I am afraid I am not quite skilled in that field

[Speaker 1] I can help you out as long as you have the passion!

[Speaker 2] Your totally right, why not then

[Speaker 1] Great! I can use people like you at my startup. Do you have a family?

I work at a big studio. I want to make a startup in the future.

My wife worked in HR.

I have a wife and a son.

[Speaker 1] I plan on making my startup soon! I need a programmer, artist and writer. Which of those would you be most interested in being?

[Speaker 2] An artist! I took art classes in school so I should be able to draw lots of logos for you.

[Speaker 1] That sounds amazing! Do you think your wife and son would approve of the new venture?

[Speaker 2] Yeah of course. They are very supporting and will love to see me make designs and have fun. My current job is pretty boring.

[Speaker 1] Wow, we need to make this happen! What does your current job involve? How old is your son by the way?

[Speaker 2] I work in IT as a consultant. He just turned 6 this December. I think it'll be fun having him play the game once it's ready.

[Speaker 1] Oh yes, I can imagine that could get pretty boring! Yes he will love to play the game! We will have to make sure it is child friendly, of course! Do you have any game ideas?

[Speaker 2] My favorite games are MMO's so I think there's a lot of possibilities with an open world child friendly game like club penguin.

[Speaker 1] I think you have some great ideas there! We could really be on to something! Do you have friends that would like to try out the game too?

[Speaker 2] Yeah I have lot of friends in my clan that would be happy to try. We should look into getting some investors too.

[Speaker 1] This is really coming together already! Would you be happy to take the lead with the investors? Do you have anyone in mind?

[Speaker 2] I have a friend who works for a bank maybe he might be able to help us.

My wife worked in HR.

I am making a video game

I have a wife and a 6-year-old son.

I am an IT consultant.

My favourite games are MMO's.

I am in a clan. I have a lot of friends. I have a friend who works for a bank.

[Speaker 1] I managed to find a programmer for the game. We are ready to start developing next week so hopefully you can help out.

[Speaker 2] That would be great. I would love to help out. I would love to be in the arist

[Speaker 1] That's great. Would you be able to meet up next week some day? The programmer is starting on Monday so it would be great if we all could discuss the video game.

[Speaker 2] I could definitely try to work that out. I could bring my son so he could play with your son, he loves meeting new friends

[Speaker 1] Perfect, my son likes playing with other kids as well. Does yours like Lego because that's my son's favourite.

[Speaker 2] Yeah he likes anything that has to do with playing lol. So is your wife looking for a new job now?

[Speaker 1] Not yet, she received quite good redundancy pay so she decided to take couple of months off and have some rest. Then she will start looking.

[Speaker 2] Oh okay thats great. You should make your game an MMO game I love MMO games

[Speaker 1] Wow, I think that would be too difficult to start with. I want to start with something smaller, not too complicated and develop step by step. But in a few years hopefully we can make some great MMO game as well. What's your favourite MMO?

[Speaker 2] My favorite MMO are the star wars games. yeah hopefully we will get one MMO game in coming years

[Speaker 1] If we decide we will do it then nothing will stop us.

[Speaker 2] Yup, work hard and you get anything out of it. I have a lot of freidns and they support me a lot which also helps

[Speaker 1] Why do you particularly like star war games?

[Speaker 2] I am a huge Star Wars fan just in general. I love the movies and have read a number of the books.

[Speaker 1] Are there any favorite things about it? I'm trying to think of fun things I should include in the game I'm planning. I like the idea of an open world but I'm not sure what kind of things to include that players will appreciate.

[Speaker 2] I think the characters and the two opposing forces are the most interesting concepts. I also like the various planets and how they are all run differently.

[Speaker 1] I will keep that in mind and try to have some variety with the in-game locations, thanks! With meeting up next week, would Tuesday work for you? We ordered a new Lego set and it will be here Monday so the boys could do that while we all talk game/business

[Speaker 2] Sure, that should be perfect. I don't have anything planned on Tuesday. Do you want me to bring over any snacks or drinks?

[Speaker 1] That would be great! Just no peanuts, my son and I are both very allergic. We're otherwise pretty open to whatever food

[Speaker 2] Ok, cool. How about chips and salsa?

[Speaker 1] Sounds good! Did you want to bring some of your artwork so we can look over it and get some good ideas going? I'd love to see what you have for humanoid-type figures as well as any animals so we can start world-building

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a plan. I've been sketching a lot while I've been bored at work, so I have some good new material.

[Speaker 1] Awesome! Hopefully this work won't end up being boring too but I think we can make it fun.

[Speaker 2] I don't think it will be boring. I always love seeing pictures on paper turn to almost real life!

[Speaker 2] For about seven years. It's pretty rewarding and there are a lot of great Mexican places around the hospital, so it's a double win. Have you been to any good places lately?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I did go to a new mexican restaurant that opened in our neighborhood, but I wasn't too impressed. I will give them another shot down the road.

[Speaker 2] What about it didn't you like? What did you get?

[Speaker 1] I got burritos de carnitas, it did not have much flavor at all.

[Speaker 2] I'm a dreamer so I'm doing wonderful!

[Speaker 1] Nice. Do you have brothers and sisters? It is just me and my mom.

[Speaker 2] I have a few brothers and sisters, my family is very poor.

[Speaker 1] We were very fortunate that mother worked as a very elite family as housekeeper.

[Speaker 2] I have a passion for animals, what about you?

[Speaker 1] My passion is in the pool swimming. I do it every chance I can.

[Speaker 2] I live around lots of mountains so I practice yoga and love to hike the mountains.

[Speaker 1] I went to the mountains in europe and mexico. I love yoga.

[Speaker 2] The natural beauty of the world is amazing!

[Speaker 1] It definitely is. Are you the oldest of your nibblings?

[Speaker 2] I'm actually the youngest of five siblings. How about you?

[Speaker 1] I have no brothers or sisters. So am the oldest and youngest.

[Speaker 2] How exciting, an only child. I could not imagine.

I live with my mom.

My mother is a housekeeper.

I love swimming.

I have visited Europe and Mexico. I love yoga.

I am an only child.

I have brothers and sisters. My family are poor.

I love animals.

I like yoga and hiking.

I am the youngest of 5 siblings.

[Speaker 1] I'm planning a day trip to a beautiful town around 30km away from here at the weekend.

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds lovely! Will you be going with your mom?

[Speaker 1] I might, I haven't asked her yet. How is your family doing?

[Speaker 2] They are good thanks, working hard to try and get some extra money together. We're planning on going hiking at the weekend.

[Speaker 1] That sounds amazing! I hope to go on a hike during my trip. Where do you like to hike?

[Speaker 2] We like to hike in the woods just outside of our city. It means we don't have to travel so far and it doesn't cost so much to get there. We never really travel that far away from where we live, we're not big explorers like you are!

[Speaker 1] Sometimes, the best places are closest to home! I hope you can work in some outdoor yoga in your hike!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that sounds like a good idea! Not all of my brothers and sisters enjoy yoga but I can try to persuade them to join in! How's your mom doing?

[Speaker 1] I hope they'll be on board. Maybe if you can convince your oldest sibling, the rest will follow! LOL. She's good, thanks! She just picked up a new client for her housekeeping job. She's excited.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, maybe if I can convince the oldest the rest will follow! Oh that's good news, that will keep her busy! Are you saving up for any overseas trips at the moment?

[Speaker 1] I haven't started saving just yet, but I was just thinking I would love to go back to Mexico! You would love how many amazing animals they have there!

[Speaker 2] Oh it sounds amazing! Unfortunately I don't think we'd ever be able to afford to travel there. Maybe if we all manage to pick up extra jobs.

I live with my mom.

My mother is a housekeeper.

I love animals.

I like yoga and hiking.

I am saving money to go hiking.

I live close to the woods.

[Speaker 1] Any luck convincing your siblings to try yoga?

[Speaker 2] Not one bit. They all think I'm some new age hippie because I do it all the time. Little do they know it's mostly for stress relief because I have to live with all of them! Did you go try that new hot yoga class you were talking about?

[Speaker 1] I did, and I came back literally dripping wet, it was disgusting but great at the same time. My mom was like uh is it raining and why do you smell like trash LOL

[Speaker 2] LOL that's hilarious. I wish I could afford to try one, but you don't make it sound too great. Were the poses hard?

[Speaker 1] Well I've been doing yoga for years so I got thighs like a dump truck and the lunges don't rock my world but I can tell you some of the people there looked like they were about to faint. Don't worry about the cost of classes, just turn on a hot shower!

[Speaker 2] Ha. Good advice. Did you put any more thought into the hiking trip this weekend? You still want to go?

[Speaker 1] I'd love to as long as I'm not sore from all the squats! But I'll do anything to get out of the house am I right? Remind me, where was it you wanted to go?

[Speaker 2] I hear ya! I was thinking we could go to the falls at the state park. I still haven't been there. I usually hike near my house, but I think the hike to the waterfall would be awesome. I hear it's a good workout, too.

[Speaker 1] You know what? People always throw coins in the waterfall to make a wish - I'll bring my scuba gear, bet we can find enough from over the years to pay for a trip overseas!!

[Speaker 2] Lol that's a great idea. I would like to see you carry all of that stuff up there. I'm in. I can bring my dog. He loves swimming. I wonder if we have time to train him to pick up coins. What do you think?

[Speaker 1] I would love if we could train your dog to find the treasure we could just lay back and soak up the sun. The perfect hike. Truly a flawless idea!

[Speaker 2] I honestly don't see anything wrong with this plan. I'll get my dog some goggles and we're all set!

[Speaker 2] What is your dogs name?

[Speaker 1] His name is buffalo. We both eat breakfast then go back to bed.

[Speaker 2] How do you find the time to do that when you work so many hours?

[Speaker 1] We eat breakfast at odd hours sometimes.

[Speaker 2] Oh I see! I'm a cannibal. But no one really knows that

[Speaker 1] I have always wondered what people taste like.

[Speaker 2] Pretty great actually. You should try it

[Speaker 1] I just might. You think it is healthy?

I am in great shape.

[Speaker 1] Do you wanna go fishing sometimes on your island?

[Speaker 2] Sure. You can bring your dog Bffalo

[Speaker 1] And you can bring your dog Bob as well!

[Speaker 2] Indeed. How has your week been? Busy with work?

[Speaker 1] I need a break!  I work 60 hours a week and it is slowly killing me lol

[Speaker 2] Yeah that's a lot. What do you do again?

[Speaker 1] I am a salesperson!  Working behind a cubicle every weekday!

[Speaker 2] Oh wow. Yeah I used to live that corporate life too.

[Speaker 1] Yeah and that's why I want to try to get away for the work life a bit and find a beautiful place to watch the sunset.

[Speaker 2] Well we have some amazing views from the island.

[Speaker 1] Mind if I come visit the island?  I've never been!

[Speaker 2] Sure! We will have to make it happen. What time is good for you?

I am a salesperson. I work from a cubicle. I work 60 hours a week.

I like watching the sunrise and sunset.

I have a dog named Buffalo.

I've never been to an island.

I'm a closet cannibal.

I am in great shape.

I used to work a corporate job.

[Speaker 1] I have a day off work and would like to come visit you on your island.

[Speaker 2] Sounds good to me! What would you like to do while you're here? I can start making plans.

[Speaker 1] Yay! I am very excited. Maybe I could bring Buffalo along and me and you and Bob and Buffalo could go on a hike? What else is there to do on your island?

[Speaker 2] Hiking is a great idea! There are several nature trails on the island where you'll get to see local wildlife. One of my favorite things to do is surf. I bet I could show you the basics.

[Speaker 1] That would be awesome. Do you have a surfboard that I could use? Are there native fruits and plants we could pick?

[Speaker 2] I only have one surfboard, but there's are a couple of rental places on the beach where we can get you a board for the day. One of the nature trails I like has lots of bushes growing poka berries. They're native to the island and very sweet.

[Speaker 1] I would love to do that. But can you promise me one thing? Please don't eat me. I know you are a closet cannibal. I don't want to be lured to your island and eaten.

[Speaker 2] LOL! That's just something I say as a joke so people remember me. Sorry if I scared you! I hardly even eat meat, let alone humans. Haha

[Speaker 1] haha Oh, man. I was really scared!! I was excited to visit your island but thought you had ulterior motives. That's great, we can just eat poka berries. Should I bring supplies and cook you dinner to thank you? I know you're a fitness freak and stay in great shape do you have dietery restrictions?

[Speaker 2] I'd love for you to cook for me! I'm not a vegetarian, but I do eat mainly veggies. Other than that, I really don't restrict my diet. I can make dessert for us. I know how to bake poka berry pie.

[Speaker 1] Perfect. I will make a fancy fish dish that is a recipe near and dear to my heart. Can I spend the night so I can see the sunrise?

[Speaker 2] Absolutely! The sunrise over the water is amazing. Fish sounds great! Living on an island I do eat plenty of seafood. It's one of my favorite things to eat.

[Speaker 1] 4 of my 5 kids are in school. It gives me free time for crafts and drawing

[Speaker 2] I bet! Where are you from?

[Speaker 1] From ga. Where our english teachers, well they're not so great

[Speaker 2] I'm from syracuse, ny. But want to study abroad in espana

[Speaker 1] I liked music class better because I like all kinds of music

[Speaker 2] Cool! I'm hoping to teach english in spain

I'm from Syracuse, NY.
I want to move to Spain.

[Speaker 1] I have been asking my kids more about their english teachers wondering if they are helpful since you mentioned you wanted to be an english teacher.

[Speaker 2] I do want to be an English teacher, but if that doesn't work out, maybe i'll be an engineer. what do you do/

[Speaker 1] I'm an aspiring musician.  Right now I'm just playing small gigs hoping to break into the business.  Do you think you'll move to Spain before you finish college?

[Speaker 2] If i can save enough money on my part time job, I would try my best to get to Spain.  what do you play?

[Speaker 1] I play the guitar.  My band plays country music but I like classic rock too!  Have you thought about doing a semester abroad in Spain?  Then maybe you could save money by studying there!

[Speaker 2] I have thought about that.  But it is still expensive.  How many gigs do you play per week

[Speaker 1] usually just 1 on the weekends.  I'd love to play more and make it a full time thing but the music industry is difficult!  I think we need to get to Nashville.  That might help too.

[Speaker 2] Yes, Nashville is the place to be for musician. I heard LA is pretty good spot to. You been out west?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I have!  I did enjoy it!  It's so flashy and such a change from the South!  Have you been?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I use to live out in California. The only downside is the cost of living. It's so expensive. Do you prefer east or west coast

[Speaker 1] I prefer the east.  You're right, California is so expensive!  And the traffic!!  I sat in LA traffic for hours!

[Speaker 2] Yes, traffic is brutal. I forgot that's another bad part of the west.  I also prefer the east coast as well!

I like arts and crafts.

I am of 5 kids and a movie fan.

I like all types of music.

I play small gigs as a musician. I play the guitar in my country music band. I like classic rock.

I play 1 music gig each weekend.

I am from Georgia.

I have been to Los Angeles, CA. I prefer the east coast over the west coast.

I am Buffalo bills fan.

I'm still in college  studying to be an english teacher

I'm from Syracuse, NY. I used to live in California. I prefer the east coast over the west coast.

I want to be an english teacher. I would also like to be an engineer.

I work part time. I am saving money to move to Spain.

[Speaker 1] What college classes are you in this semester?

[Speaker 2] I'm currently studying to be an English teacher, so I'm taking a lot of classes focused on teaching and english. I'm really excited, since this semester we are actually practicing teaching in person, so I'll be going to a school to try teaching.

[Speaker 1] Wow, sounds like you will be very busy. Are you still going to be doing your part time job alongside your teacher training?

[Speaker 2] Yup. Thankfully my teaching training replaces some of my classes and will be during the time I would otherwise be in school. Otherwise, there's no way I'd have time for it! How is music going for you? Play any gigs lately?

[Speaker 1] I'm sure you're glad to be out of your studies for now anyway. What grade are you hoping to teach? This weekend I am playing at a local country music festival. It's nothing big but will probably have a couple hundred people. It's a family friendly type thing.

[Speaker 2] I prefer to teach younger kids, so I'm thinking grades 1 or 2. That's what I would be most comfortable with. You'll have to send me the details for the festival. That sounds like a lot of fun and I'd love to come support you. I also don't have to work this weekend.

[Speaker 1] Younger kids are much easier to teach than teenagers I heard. The festival is in Georgia, is that too far for you or will you be in the area?

[Speaker 2] You're right, that might be a bit of a long trek for me just for the weekend. But you'll have to let me know next time you're playing a festival and I can plan my trip in advance. Have you been watching any football this season? Like usual, the Buffalo Bills have been terrible. So disappointing!

[Speaker 1] I will let you know when I am playing closer to you. I haven't had much chance to watch football. The kids have been watching Frozen on repeat for 2 weeks. If I have to listen to it much more, I'm going to have to let the dvd go!

[Speaker 2] Haha. Yeah young kids really seem to really love that movie. I'm sure many of the young kids I'll be teaching will want to talk all about it.

[Speaker 1] As if it wasn't bad enough, they made a sequel. I am looking forward to this festival just to hear some different type of music other than disney!

[Speaker 2] That will be a good change. Is your family coming to see you perform at all?

[Speaker 1] I love tacos so much! We have a taco truck nearby and I go there all the time. Do you recommend any other Mexican food?

[Speaker 2] I love salsa too!  I had some great salsa there!  Too bad you don't like to travel because you haven't had real tacos until you've had tacos in Mexico!  How's the craft store?

[Speaker 1] I know. Mexico's a bit too far out of the way, haha. The craft store is going very well! I can't wait to launch my new line of products that I crocheted myself. What is your job by the way?

[Speaker 2] I'm an engineer.  I travel a lot for my job but I love to travel for pleasure too!  What kind of projects did you crochet?  That sounds amazing!

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a busy and intense career. My husband thought about getting into engineering but he decided on teaching. I was crocheting Halloween items for next year!

[Speaker 2] That sounds fun!  What kind of items?  Costumes?  You don't see many crochet Halloween costumes!  At least I haven't!

[Speaker 1] Haha, that would be quite the project! But nope, just little creepy critters and pumpkins. Fun little stuff.

[Speaker 2] That's cute!  How long does it take you to make one item?  I tried to crochet once, it did not go well!

[Speaker 1] Is there a taco truck near the pool?

[Speaker 2] yes! how did you know. The owner is so nice and dedicated. She is an immigrant from Mexico and tells me her tacos are very authentic.

[Speaker 1] I just guessed!  What kind of tacos does she make?  What type of meat does she use?

[Speaker 2] Wait do you think it is the same taco truck near you. I only get the beef tacos. my fav. But her truck is called truly tasty. is that the same truck near you?

[Speaker 1] No.  The truck near me is a hipster taco and pizza fusion truck.  Not really authentic.

[Speaker 2] ahah. nooo. well. to be honest I have tried a Korean Taco once at a hipster truck and it was not bad at all.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, the tacos are good but I'm craving something authentic.  I should try the truck you go to.  We can go swimming together and get some tacos, after!

[Speaker 2] yeah that sounds perfect. I'm about to leave again to Mexico for a engineering job, but when i'm back tacos and a swim!

[Speaker 1] I can understand that. Some nasty side effects to those and praying that it's an easy transition for you. How's the family at the moment?

[Speaker 2] Its been a while since iv seen anyway really, hopefully when things warm up i can take a trip to Lake Vermont to see my brother and his children.

[Speaker 1] That's true, the cold doesn't help. Oh, I hadn't realised they were there. I've heard it's beautiful out there - is the journey safe for you?

[Speaker 2] The journey will be the most fun part! Its an Amtrak train from D.C. to Vermont. I will have my own cabin so can relax and the food onboard is fantastic.

[Speaker 1] That sounds luxurious! I'd love to take the kids on a train one day, but will wait til they're older so they appreciate it more. Is that a good route for scenery?

[Speaker 2] Yes amazing, it goes right through the countryside before heading through New York city, and then on to Vermont. Its really spectacular. Have you had many train journeys yourself before?

[Speaker 1] A few times back and forth to college in my youth but not since, really. Would be great to experience the magic again...!

[Speaker 2] The Amtrak is my favourite way to travel, all the benefits of flying but youre not high in the air! Id highly recommend investigating the Amtrak sleepers for any long journey you might be planning.

[Speaker 1] I'll definitely do so - hopefully the beds are comfy and don't cause backache?

[Speaker 2] Its surprising how comfortable the cabins are, also ingenious how they fit everything you need in to such a small space. I wouldnt want to live liek it forever, but for a few days its a novelty and the food available really makes up for the sometimes cramped conditions.

[Speaker 1] I went hunting today and caught a rabbit

[Speaker 2] What other animals do you enjoy hunting?

[Speaker 1] I like to all kinds of animals. but since it is not legal to do so. I am just trying to focus on something else.

[Speaker 2] Perhaps you could take up another sport like fishing another sport for the great out doors

[Speaker 1] Yes, that is a great idea actually. I would love to.. Do you like fishing?

[Speaker 2] Yes i really enjoy the sport being out with nature and getting the fresh air.

[Speaker 2] What a great idea I know several great fishing spots and would gladly share with you.

[Speaker 1] You know it. Bull and Bear love fishing. Once Bear jumped in the lake and managed to catch a trout in his mouth haha

[Speaker 2] How funny!  I think it would be so refreshing to get out of town and into the country for a while.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely. I keep thinking that I should just pack up and move out to a cabin full time.

[Speaker 2] That's a life goal of mine.  Maybe once my daughter is grown and on her own I can make that happen.  I'd love to wake up every morning to crisp clean air.  How long until you can retire from the police force?

[Speaker 1] I've actually been eligible to retire for about a year, but I've stayed on to keep my health insurance. I cut back on my hours, but it's nice to see other folks a few times a week.

[Speaker 2] Agreed, it's nice to see friendly or familiar faces.  Wouldn't be much of that if you committed to the hermit life!  Us old folks need that company, it's good for us I think.

[Speaker 1] I think kids these days do too, they just don't want to admit it. Talking through gadgets is just never the same as seeing a real person.

[Speaker 2] Not even close!  I've been saying that for years.  You can really start to see the effects now that there's been time for the younger kids to jump on that "screen life".  I don't like it.  I remember finding my friends by spotting the pile of bikes in one of their front yards.

[Speaker 1] Don't even get me started about getting on finding your way around! I know this town like the back of my hand, but I always see people looking down at their phones to tell them where to go. Not going to work very well when there's no electricity, is it now? I tried to buy a map in a gas station yesterday and they said they didn't have any. Can you imagine that!

[Speaker 2] That's funny, i was just talking to a friend about using maps "back in the day".  Times sure have changed.

[Speaker 1] Do you have any kids

[Speaker 2] Probably, I got pretty wild when I followed a band around on a tour

[Speaker 1] What band did you follow

[Speaker 2] Grateful dead baby! They're the best band in the world

[Speaker 1] What other music do you like

[Speaker 2] Oh, I can get down with anything but country music. You?

[Speaker 1] I like all types of music.

[Speaker 2] Dude, that is like a totally cool way to be man

[Speaker 1] Yeah, it helps ease my mind.

[Speaker 2] I try to sing along to some songs but people always shut me up

I get around in a jaguar.

I love arts and crafts.

I enjoy hearing others stories.

I lived in the country when I was younger.

I used to live in virginia now I live in pennsylvania.

I have a medical condition that's made worse by the cold weather in my state.

[Speaker 1] Good morning, assuming its still morning where you are.

[Speaker 2] Just barely. I love a good book, how about you.

[Speaker 1] I do not have much patience anymore for reading.

[Speaker 2] That's too bad. What do you like to do? I'm also into beadwork. I make my patterns.

[Speaker 1] People watching helps pass the time at the mall, at the park, at the bar.

[Speaker 2] Do you draw, or is it more the psychology of it?

[Speaker 1] Just watching people. Some of them do not know how foolish they are.

[Speaker 2] Ll, true. I grew up in va on the family farm, but moved to pa. You?

[Speaker 1] I have spent all my life in the city. Farm life must have been nice.

[Speaker 2] It was pretty cool when my fibromyalgia was not acting up.

[Speaker 1] Fibromyalgia! I've got that, too. We can be miserable together.

[Speaker 2] How do you get through the winter? I'm worried about this one!

I don't have patience to read books

I have spent all my life in the city.

I too have the Fibromyalgia disorder.

I love reading books.

I make my own patterns in beadwork.

I grew up in Virginia (VA) but eventually moved to Pennsylvania (PA).

[Speaker 1] I came across some relaxation techniques on Youtube to help deal with Fibromyalgia

[Speaker 2] Have you found that the techniques have been helping any?

[Speaker 1] Yes I have recently found some yoga and relaxaion techniques that have helped some. How are you doing with it?

[Speaker 2] I am doing okay I guess. My beadwork helps keep my mind off of it. Have you been keeping busy to help with it?

[Speaker 1] Yeah I like to go to the park during the day to do some people watching during the day then frequent my local bar for some semblance of a social life at night. It keeps me busy

[Speaker 2] That is something I should try! I usually just pick up a good book to take my mind off of things.

[Speaker 1] That's a good idea. I wish I had more patience for a book. I guess I feel like time is too short and I would rather be out and about than inside. What else do you do for fun?

[Speaker 2] I like to work on my own patterns of beadwork, I find that it relaxes me after a hard day. How about yourself?

[Speaker 1] That sounds amazing! I am mostly a people person so I enjoy observing people in multiple habitats, park, mall, bar, etc. Living in the city is always very entertaining. Never a dull moment

[Speaker 2] I have always wanted to live in the city! Moving from Virginia to

[Speaker 1] Where is Pennsylvania do you live?

[Speaker 2] In northern Pennsylvania, so it gets pretty cold! What city are you from?

I don't have patience to read books.

I like to observe people at the mall, the park and the bar. This keeps me busy. I am a people person

I have spent all my life in the city.

I found relaxation techniques on YouTube to help with my Fibromyalgia disorder.

I have found yoga and relaxation techniques that help.

I wish I read books.

I love reading books.

I make my own patterns in beadwork.

I grew up in Virginia (VA) but eventually moved to Northern Pennsylvania (PA).

I have been living with Fibromyalgia disorder. I find that beadwork relaxes me.

I read books.

I want to live in the city.

[Speaker 1] I watched some more yoga and relaxation techniques on YouTube.  I bought a book to read like you suggested.

[Speaker 2] You will have to email me the links to your favorite videos. I am looking for other ways to relax and cope. What book did you get? Have you started it yet?

[Speaker 1] I bought the book that you suggested about Fibromyalgia! I haven't started it but I am looking forward to it.

[Speaker 2] Wonderful! It really helped me figure out new ways to cope. Plus, it helped me not feel so alone. If you don't want to read it, you might be able to find a recording of it! Like a "books on tape"

[Speaker 1] That is a great idea! If I find I don't have the patience I might try that. Do you ever listen to books on tape while doing your beadwork?

[Speaker 2] I do all the time. I get tired of watching TV and listening to music so it adds some variability. Have you ever tried beadwork?

[Speaker 1] I haven't! I saw some beadwork earrings the other day and thought of you. It's such a beautiful and creative hobby! What is your favorite thing to make?

[Speaker 2] Nice! I think earrings are actually my favorite. Necklaces are fun too! I will have to make you a set of earrings and necklace. Do you have a favorite color?

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, I would love that! Green is my favorite color. I would love to hang out sometime and you could teach me something simple!

[Speaker 2] I will see what I can put together. I love making gifts for friends. Are you free next weekend?

[Speaker 1] I am! I am free on Saturday and Sunday morning. Would one of those times work for you?

[Speaker 2] Saturday works better for me. You don't need to bring anything. I have all of the supplies. I am SO excited!

[Speaker 1] Did you still my big interview tollman

[Speaker 2] Are you in the 9 5 grind? Sorry I do not understand.

[Speaker 1] That is true in every time I go travel

[Speaker 2] Yeah one of the perks of behind short.

[Speaker 1] I really stand outdoors but I still like outdoors

[Speaker 2] I am good but pretty sleepy... How about you?

[Speaker 1] Long day? Did you work or stay up late last night? I am great.

[Speaker 2] I have a job in a factory, so it takes a lot out of me.

[Speaker 1] What time do you get off? I totally can relate.

[Speaker 2] I'm off at 4 but I work 4 days a week 10 hours per day.

[Speaker 1] I go to work for only a short period of time, can't imagine that

[Speaker 2] It works out good because I get three days off to sleep.

[Speaker 1] Do you like to do anything on your days off?

[Speaker 2] I'm not a very social person, anyway. I do like animals and nature.

[Speaker 1] Have you ever been hiking? My roommate and I tend to try new things.

[Speaker 2] Yes and I love it. What is the best place you have hiked?

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you today? Chilly here

[Speaker 2] Hi there, just thinking of ways to lose weight. Hard as I make cakes for a living

[Speaker 1] I like cake but have to be careful, I only eat organic due to some medical stuff

[Speaker 2] My girlfriend only eats organic too. She even tries to feed our cat it

[Speaker 1] Does that work well for the cat? I have a couple of pet snakes myself

[Speaker 2] I hope so as she's like our baby. Hoping we can adopt a real one though

[Speaker 1] I'm single, never had kids myself. I do not know if it is for me.

[Speaker 2] People think we should not being lesbians, but we would love a kid

[Speaker 1] I'm to much of an introvert I like comics and playing video games too much

[Speaker 2] I used to be, my doctor says I'm still healthy, but it made me slightly overweight

[Speaker 1] I've dust allergies and a delicate stomach but other than that am in good shape

[Speaker 2] Probably cant be around our cat then.

[Speaker 1] Cats do not bother me actually, just like house dust and also pollen

[Speaker 2] I see, what else do you enjoy? I really do love my job decorating cakes

[Speaker 1] Well I collect autographs, have over two thousand so far

[Speaker 2] Wow. You want mine? Haha just kidding.

I like cake.  I only eat organic foods.  I have medical issues.

I have a couple of pet snakes.

I'm single.  I don't have kids.

[Speaker 2] We are doing okay! Thanks for asking. Still working on adopting a baby though. Played any new videogames lately?

[Speaker 1] not today. I'm still playing vanilla wow regularly though. what are the next steps in your adoption search?

[Speaker 2] We've got some more applications to fill out. Never would've guessed beforehand how many different agencies there are.

[Speaker 1] once you finally adopt, do you plan on making a cake to celebrate the event?

[Speaker 2] Funny thing is, I don't actually like baking cakes for myself. I think doing them for money all the time means I just feel like I'm at work if I make one for fun.

[Speaker 1] I have had to cut back on cakes for myself. Its not good for my heart condition. how are your cats doing?

[Speaker 2] Just one cat. She's been in a mood lately. Very anti-social. Frankly, I might prefer some of those pet snakes that you've got.

[Speaker 1] you might regret that. When the snakes get in a mood its not pretty. the bigger they get, the harder they are to handle.

[Speaker 2] That's true! I at least don't ever worry about my cat being able to strangle me. LOL. Have any prospective dating prospects ever met the snakes? What do they think?

[Speaker 1] Yes, it usually ends up being a love or hate situation. People either really like them or are super scared. I normally tell them in advance to give them a heads up beforehand.

[Speaker 2] It's probably a good way to learn early on if this is your kind of person or not.

I like cake.  I only eat organic foods.

I have a couple of pet snakes. I tell my dates in advance that I have snakes.

I do not worry about my cat strangling me.

[Speaker 1] I just finished a video game and now I am going to get ready for a date I have tonight.

[Speaker 2] That sounds nice. What kind of date have you planned?

[Speaker 1] Right now we're just going out for dinner at a local sushi place, it's the only one I know that uses organic ingredients in their rolls.  If it goes well we might hang out afterwards.

[Speaker 2] I've had sushi before, but I have not gotten used to eating it. I usually just get California roll.

[Speaker 1] Yeah it can be an acquired taste, especially the rolls with raw fish.  You can't go wrong with California rolls though!  You should also try some of the tempura rolls sometime, they might be more up your alley.

[Speaker 2] What is a tempura roll?

[Speaker 1] It's basically just a cooked sushi roll, usually it's got a lightly fried coating

[Speaker 2] That sounds good. Isn't everything better fried? LoL. My partner is cooking tonight. Pasta primavera. She is a good cook.

[Speaker 1] An onion! I hate onions. They make me gag

[Speaker 2] Raw onions are good and good for you if you know how to grow them like me.

[Speaker 1] I don't have a green thumb. My mom does and she tends to her garden here.

[Speaker 2] I grow all kinds of food in my garden, herbs, fruit, vegetables.

[Speaker 1] Have you read summer in my garden? I bet you would like it.

[Speaker 2] Eating right will help you with soccer. It helped me lose 65 pounds easily.

[Speaker 1] I mainly do keto and eat veggies sometimes, but from the store.

[Speaker 2] I heard about that but have not read it. What is it about?

[Speaker 1] Someone who has a green thumb. I love reading books.

[Speaker 2] Anybody can eat sweet onion raw and its good for you too.

[Speaker 1] You sound like bubba gump, just for onions!

[Speaker 2] I like books and lately I've been reading about crystal powers

[Speaker 1] Oh! I've read about crystal powers too! They are referenced in disney movies

[Speaker 2] My hair is too long and too curly to be a bubba gump or forrest gump.

[Speaker 1] You can be the you for onions then!

[Speaker 2] Onions are good, all kinds of onions.

I play soccer.
I hate onions.
I am bad at gardening
I do Keto.

I grow onions.

I grow many things in my garden.

I lost 65 pounds.

I like books. I'm reading Crystal Powers.

I have long hair

[Speaker 1] So what is your favorite dish including onions?

[Speaker 2] My favorite dish with onions is definitely chicken fajitas with grilled onions and bell peppers from my garden. What is your favorite Ke

[Speaker 1] Well I have just started Keto so I am new to it. Unfortunately I do not like onions much. How difficult is it to grow onions in your garden?

[Speaker 2] It was a tad difficult to get the plant started but after it has been easy to care for. Do you play soccer competitively or just for fun?

[Speaker 1] I play soccer for fun. I am not that athletic I just like to burn calories from time to time. I see you have recently lost some weight?

[Speaker 2] I like playing soccer, it is a good workout but also a lot of fun. How long have you played soccer? Yes, it's all due to eating healthy along with the new home gym I set up in my garage.

[Speaker 1] Cool. I have been playing soccer for about three years. I am trying to lose weight too. Maybe I will try healthy diets as well. Do you have any other hobbies?

[Speaker 2] I love to read books. Are you currently reading anything?

[Speaker 1] Me too. I haven't started a new book yet. I was reading Three Musketeers a few months ago. Not finished yet. What are you reading?

[Speaker 2] I enjoyed reading the Three Musketeers. I am currently reading Crystal Powers, I am nearly done.

[Speaker 1] Oh cool. Is it fun? I was never into Crystal Powers but maybe you can loan me once you are done

[Speaker 2] I have enjoyed the book, I would definitely recommend you reading it. I will lend you my copy when I am done.

I am bad at gardening

I play soccer. I am not athletic.

I've played soccer for three years. I want to lose weight. I don't eat healthy.

I am not a big fan of Crystal Powers.

I grow onions.

I grow many things in my garden.

I lost 65 pounds.

I have long hair.

I like chicken fajitas.

I play soccer. I eat healthy. I have a gym.

I like to read.

[Speaker 1] Hey you mentioned you like to eat healthy. Have any suggestions for me?

[Speaker 2] I like to eat a well rounded diet and I think the secret to weight loss is the tried and true method of counting calories. There are so many specialized diets but this one works all the time. Vegetables, lean meats, keep the bread and sugars low and aim for 1200 calories a day.

[Speaker 1] That is good advice, but it is so hard to count calories all the time. Do you have a go to meal that is within a good calorie limit?

[Speaker 2] I have gotten into the habit of writing down everything that I eat and I basically know the calorie count. A good meal for diner would be grilled chicken breast, a salad and maybe some broccoli. I usually save desert for special occasions. I go to the gym for exercise, do you have a gym near you?

[Speaker 1] I do, but I always feel self conscious going there because I don't know how to use the machines, other than the treadmill. It's very intimidating to walk in there and see a bunch of fit people knowing exactly what to do while I stand there feeling like a chubby idiot.

[Speaker 2] The trainers at the gym would be very happy to help you. I used to feel like you, but when I got up the nerve to talk to a trainer I've never looked back. They don't judge, and they're there to help you out.

[Speaker 1] I guess I could call them and ask when their least busy time is and make an appointment with a trainer then. Thanks, you are really good at helping me feel confident.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a great plan. Another thing to do to keep in shape is walk in nature. We have a lot of walking trails near me and I love to go out and enjoy them. Also just working in my garden is a workout.

[Speaker 1] I do like to be outside when the weather is nice! How is your garden coming along?

[Speaker 2] I am planning my spring garden. I am gathering my seeds and I will be starting many of them indoors to get a head start. I will fertilize and till the garden and I will be good to go.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a lot of work! What types of things are you planting this year?

[Speaker 2] Come on over and help out, it is a good physical workout! I will be growing tomatoes, onions, of course, carrots, corn, broccoli, cabbage, cucumbers and many other things.

I am bad at gardening.

I am doing the keto diet. I don't like onions. I want to lose weight. I don't eat healthy.

I am not athletic. I've played soccer for three years.

I like to read. I am reading the Three Musketeers. I am not a big fan of Crystal Powers.

I like to be outside.

I grow onions. I grow many things in my vegetable garden.

I lost 65 pounds.

I have long hair.

I like chicken fajitas.

I play soccer. I have a gym.

I like to read. I liked the book Three Musketeers. I am reading Crystal Powers and enjoy it.

I like to eat healthy. I watch out and take notes on the calorie intake.

I like to walk outside.

[Speaker 1] Do you have any book recommendations about health?

[Speaker 2] There are some cookbooks I use. Eat to Live is a good one - has a lot of simple healthy recipes. I like it because it really doesn't take as much effort to make the dishes as you'd expect

[Speaker 1] Oh cool! I will have to get it out of the library next time I am there! I need some new recipes to spice up my routine.

[Speaker 2] Yeah! I've found having a garden to be super helpful for me - I get excited to find recipes for the things that are ripe. Plus then I don't have to worry about what vegetables to buy when I'm at the supermarket

[Speaker 1] I wish I was better at gardening! Maybe if you find yourself with too many tomatoes you can throw some my way?

[Speaker 2] Haha I'd be happy to! I often have too many to know what to do with. You might also want to get a book about the keto diet specifically when you're at the library. How's that going?

[Speaker 1] Not great! I am not sure if it is for me... but you are right I should get a book out of the library before I totally give up...haha. I have been walking more! Just around the neighborhood enjoying spring.

[Speaker 2] Yeah it sounds good in theory but it's a little too extreme, even for me. And walking is great! Even tiny amounts of exercise make me feel so much better, especially with the weather getting warmer

[Speaker 1] Yeah I feel so much more positive after I go for a walk. It's like a nice reset button for my brain! Have you ever tried one of these fad diets like whole 30, keto, etc?

[Speaker 2] Not exactly, though I tried to go vegan. That lasted all of 2 months haha, I missed meat.

[Speaker 1] I think just eating less meat in general is a good step in the right direction! You don't need to go all or nothing. I am glad that meat substitutes are getting better and more popular!

[Speaker 2] Yeah I've been trying to avoid too much red meat. And yeah, I'm excited for one day when they get lab-grown meat to really work and taste good, it'll be so much better for the environment and animals too

[Speaker 1] Sure I can drive you.  We need to purchase tickets ahead of time, I want good seats.

[Speaker 2] Awesome, thanks so much! If you go ahead and book the tickets and let me know how much I owe you I can send it over to you. How was your afternoon at school?

[Speaker 1] Right, I will get us tickets.  School is a drag.  I read for about an hour today.  Some of the texts are pretty... annoying.

[Speaker 2] Ah, yeah, I feel that! It will be worth it though when you graduate and get to go on to medical school. There's going to be a lot more reading than I had to do for communications!

[Speaker 1] If you read Basal Ganglia, and all you can think is that your hungry what kind of food would you ask your step mom for?

[Speaker 2] Oh, she's a foster mom rather than a step mom, they both fostered me after my birth mom died. I would have to ask for her spaghetti bolognese, it's my favourite! What's your favourite?

[Speaker 1] Yes, foster mom.  My error. The spaghetti bolognese sounds good. I think of basil pesto sauce and linguini my self. Is your communications degree worth the effort?

[Speaker 2] Oh I do love pesto as well, I would love to travel to Italy one day and eat all of the delicious pasta! Yeah, it was ok, sometimes I wish I did something more worthwhile, like you going into medicine. You'll be able to really help people with that!

[Speaker 1] Right, help people.  I hope that I get out of the medical program something useful.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure you will, you can be just like the doctors on Greys Anatomy!

[Speaker 1] You can always go to medicals school

[Speaker 2] Do you know of any medical schools I should apply to?

[Speaker 1] That all depends.  The main factor would probably be where you want to live and where you are willing to go.

[Speaker 2] Thats true. I think I will try to apply to the university in the city to stay local for now

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a good idea.  If you want to go to medical school, I would take courses that could transfer over to a medical program.

[Speaker 2] I will have to check with my community college for what prereq courses transfer since I don't think I can use my communication courses and credit towards a medical degree

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a good course of action.  How are you liking your community college experience?

[Speaker 2] Its a nice change of pace after being the Navy. I tend to just study in the library all day but I would rather have my head in the books then my head in the toilet after drinking too much at a party!

[Speaker 1] Sounds like a good plan.  I think going to community college first is a good idea.  It helps to keep the cost of college lower.

[Speaker 2] That is very true, I heard the prices are like 1/3 less. But I also like that the classes are 1/3 of the size of people so its much easier to ask questions to the professor.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I think you getting a good value.  I am glad that you are enjoying your experience.

[Speaker 2] It's taken me a little while, but I am starting to feel about the breakup. I very much enjoyed the carrots, I've been cooking a lot of carrots to occupy myself. How is the rest of your garden?

[Speaker 1] Yeah thats the best thing to do take your mind off it. My garden is coming along nicely at the moment got plenty of veg growing well.

[Speaker 2] That's great to hear! What other vegetables are you growing at the moment?

[Speaker 1] I have potato's, cauliflower, tomato's, runner beans and some peppers, all sorts of herbs growing as well your welcome to try some if you want? It keeps me busy and active looking after them all.

[Speaker 2] That's incredible that you're able to keep all of those plants alive. You certainly have a green thumb! I would definitely like to try all of those vegetables. I was wondering if you would be able to teach me about gardening some time? I could donate my plants to the church food drive!

[Speaker 1] Yeah I would love to especially as they would be going to such a great cause, that is very thoughtful of you. I have been gardeing for years now so have picked up a lot over the years.

[Speaker 2] Thank you! It would be great to learn from you, since you have so much experience. I know that starting gardening can be very difficult and I don't think I'll be able to handle killing all my plants. Maybe you could come to the food drive with me with some of your plants as well!

[Speaker 1] I would love to I have plenty here that I could bring.

[Speaker 2] Wonderful. It will be this Saturday, are you available to come?

[Speaker 1] Yeah that would be fine I have no plans I will have to make sure I have plenty of veg ready to bring.

[Speaker 2] Great. I'll come pick you up at noon. Can't wait!

I eat fruit and vegetables.

I'm 71 years old.

[Speaker 2] Oh no!  That isn't good.  Are you carrots still doing good?

[Speaker 1] They're doing great as it goes! I can give you some soon once they're ready, I know you like to cook with them. How are you doing now?

[Speaker 2] I'm still pretty upset.  I keep thinking that Roger will call me, but I know he won't.  I have to accept it is over but it is so hard.  I've been reading some books on gardening.  But I can't get my mind off of Roger.r

[Speaker 1] I'm so sorry. I know it's rough. He's a fool to let you go and treat you bad. Maybe I can distract you with some gardening lessons?

[Speaker 2] I would love that.  I want to be able to grow my own veggies.  Do you have flower garden?

[Speaker 1] My wife does that better than I do in terms of flowers, she can help there. What vegetables would you like to grow?

[Speaker 2] I love onions and green peppers. And, of course, carrots.  Maybe some cucumbers, do you have any suggestions?

[Speaker 1] Oh! Onions are easy, the trick will be to get the carrots right! The purple ones are the tastiest. Green peppers and red peppers and yellow peppers are lovely - they're the same pepper at different stages.

[Speaker 2] I have never had purple carrots.  Would it be okay if I came by next week to start learning?  I really need to keep busy.

[Speaker 1] You sure can. I could do with some help preparing the carrots too, if that's OK? My hands aren't what they used to be. I'll get some tea in - do you like fruit tea?

[Speaker 2] Love it!  Ok I will come by on Tuesday and I will be glad to help.
