I like to eat.
I never have any free time.
I don't feel very good about myself.

I like the scot boxer.
I enjoy wrestling.
I want to see the world.
I am a manufacturing foreman.

[Speaker 1] I work more hours per week than should be legal and now I cant stop eating.

[Speaker 2] Stress can be a bummer like that, so I like ufc to unwind.

[Speaker 1] Me too but I never have time to watch it. Always work, work, work

[Speaker 2] But what can you do? Maybe leave it all behind?

[Speaker 1] Maybe but I think a corvette would make it all better

[Speaker 2] Yes, I could go far in a corvette. I would travel the world.

[Speaker 1] I work too much to travel but my life would be complete then

[Speaker 2] I hate working at a factory.

[Speaker 1] I just want a cool corvette to escape all this work temporarily

[Speaker 2] The work laws are terrible. We are factory farmed humans.

[Speaker 1] All this work makes me hungry but no free time for exercise

[Speaker 2] I wish I could exercise like ufc fighters.

[Speaker 1] It will take me a while to get in shape like those guys

[Speaker 2] Me too. I will never be fit as connor.

I work long hours. I'm streesed.
I like UFC.
I like Corvette.
I want a Corvette.
I have no time to exercise.

I like ufc.
I work in a factory. I hate my job.

[Speaker 1] Hey you watch any ufc fights coming up at all?

[Speaker 2] yes, recently I watched Between Max Holloway and Calvin. It was neck to neck.

[Speaker 1] Cool. That must have been exciting. How was your day? How was work?

[Speaker 2] It was fun to watch. Factory work is really overwhelming. Did you get any time for exercise?

[Speaker 1] Well I am too busy for that. I work over time like every day. If I get some time off next week I will probably hit the gym. But yeah it has been a while since I've been there

[Speaker 2] Hope you will get some time for yourself. Try to go to the gym which can show you UFC fight.

[Speaker 1] Well yeah it's time to lose some pudge I am no fit to fight like a wrestler haha. You know I am working hard to save money for a new Corvette.

[Speaker 2] Your hard work definitely gonna lead you to the Corvette. Which model or color is your preference?  I can only Afford one in my dreams.

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure. But definitely blue. I've always envisioned myself driving a blue Corvette. Remind me what is your job?

[Speaker 2] I love blue color. I work in a factory, so hard to get such an expensive car. You can give me a ride one day in you blue Corvette.

[Speaker 1] Sure thing! I am sure a hard worker like yourself can someday own a nice car too

[Speaker 2] Thanks for your kind words. Don't forget to watch upcoming UFC fight. It will be very exciting.

I work long hours. I'm streesed.

I have no time to exercise. I work a lot. I go to the gym when I can.

I am trying to lose some weight.

I like UFC.

I am saving money for a new Corvette. I want to buy a blue Corvette.

I like to watch UFC fights.

I can't afford a Corvette.

I love the color blue.

[Speaker 1] Thanks to your encouragement, I was able to go to the gym.

[Speaker 2] That is great to hear. If you don't have your health, it makes life very difficult.

[Speaker 1] So true. I really do appreciate it. I've been so stressed with work lately so I'm a little worried about my blood pressure. Can't drive the Corvette if I have a heart attack, naturally.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, you want to have many years to enjoy that sweet ride. Maybe some day I will be able to afford a nice car, but for now I have to stick with my bucket.

[Speaker 1] You'll get there. This has been a few years in the making - I can lend it to you from time to time if you like?

[Speaker 2] No, I would be too paranoid that I would crash your baby, lol. After I finish paying down on some of my debt, I might look into a career switch.

[Speaker 1] Ha, no worries! If you change your mind, you just let me know. Oh yeah? I know you've been miserable at that place for ages. Any thoughts on direction?

[Speaker 2] I definitely want to get out of the factory and into a nice desk job. I think I would enjoy accounting. I've always been good with numbers.

[Speaker 1] That's true! You're good with the UFC fight stats so that's definitely transferrable! Would you do night classes to get the qualification first?

[Speaker 2] I've looked into a couple online only programs which are pretty flexible as far as scheduling goes. Sticking to a study schedule will be tough especially with a tiring job, but I think I am motivated enough at this point.

[Speaker 1] I believe in you! You put in the work - that job doesn't appreciate you. Time to find something that at least pretends to.

[Speaker 2] Thanks for the encouragement. So what about you? Where did you say you work again?

I work long hours. I'm streesed. I'm worried about my blood pressure. I have no time to exercise. I go to the gym when I can. I am trying to lose some weight.

I like UFC.

I can't afford a Corvette.

I love the color blue. I have a bucket car.

I work in a factory. I hate my job. I am a hard worker. I might switch careers after I pay down some of my debt. I've been miserable there for ages. I'd rather work a desk job.  I think I would enjoy accounting; I'm good with numbers.

I watch UFC fights and am into the stats.  I think I am motivated enough to take night classes.

[Speaker 1] How was work today?  Hopefully it wasn't too bad and you have some time to watch UFC tonight.

[Speaker 2] It was exhausting. I'm not sure I can stay awake for the fight.

[Speaker 1] I will definitely check it out so I can let you know how it goes. Also, you can check out the stats from the fight tomorrow.

[Speaker 2] True. I might dvr it so I can watch this weekend. I don't know how I could possibly fit night classes into my schedule.

[Speaker 1] I would not be able to handle night classes. Are you interested in some for an accounting field?

[Speaker 2] Yes, that's what I'm hoping to do. I'm just really discouraged and it's stressful. You know all about that, though. How's work for you?

[Speaker 1] It's going okay, but still very stressful. I am actually considering quitting, what do you think?

[Speaker 2] Honestly I think it's not the best idea to work as hard as you do just so you can get a Corvette. Don't get me wrong - I love them! I just think the constant stress has gotta be bad for you.

[Speaker 1] That's a good point. I think I'm going to go for a cheaper option. Have you seen any sales that could get me a good deal on a cheap car?

[Speaker 2] I haven't, but my brother-in-law works in a dealership. I'll ask him. What do you think you might want?

[Speaker 1] Maybe something small and by Ford. I have had good experiences with them, and they have always provided good transportation for my family and I.

[Speaker 2] I'll give him a call and get back to you. How is your family?


Somebody put a ring on it.
I enjoy making things artistically.
I fly around the country for work.
I love my clan.

I dream about raising thoroughbreds.

I don't have romantic relationships.

[Speaker 2] I love them I want to have my own race horse and a stable on day

[Speaker 1] Do you help train horses at the stables?

[Speaker 2] Yeah I'd like to teach people how to race horses

[Speaker 1] Lucky. At least you are doing what you love. Ca not complain about that.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that's very true. What do you do for a living

[Speaker 1] I was just watching jeopardy - how did you do when you were on the show?

[Speaker 2] I did not do well.  I could have used some of that teacher knowledge you have!

[Speaker 1] Oh well. I still think you did well. Was it nervous knowing that thousands of people are watching? haha

[Speaker 2] It was at first but I got used to it.  I am surprised you watched the show! I feel like you never watch TV.

[Speaker 1] I do from time to time. So how was your day? Did you work on any pottery?

[Speaker 2] I have been as much as I can.  Now that I stopped drinking I need more things to fill my time.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I heard you have stopped drinking. Good for you! I knew you could kick the bad habit. Was it difficult? Any withdrawal?

[Speaker 2] A little bit but after a few days I started to feel better.  I think studying for the show really helped occupy my time but now that is over. Ill have to start focusing more on refurbishing cars in my spare time.

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah I know how handy you are with cars. What is your latest project?

[Speaker 2] an old Chevy that I am fixing up for a friend.  If you ever need any work done let me know.  Ill only charge for the parts.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I think my Hyundai is kinda getting old. I might take upon your offer someday!

[Speaker 2] I can work wonders on a Hyundai.  You should drop it by on Sunday and Ill take a look at it while you are at church.

I am a teacher.

I have a Hyundai.

I refurbish cars for work.

I am recovering from being a drunk. I stopped drinking.

I am fixing an old Chevy for a friend.

[Speaker 1] Did you finish fixing that Chevy you were working on?

[Speaker 2] not yet. still have some things that need to be replaced before it will run properly.

[Speaker 1] Okay, maybe you could send some photos of it when you are all done? My church hosts car shows sometimes and maybe you would like to visit on one of those Sundays. I usually run the soda fountain booth.

[Speaker 2] that's pretty cool. I've never heard of a church hosting a car show. I'd love to come check it out. maybe I can bring the chevy once it's finished. I'll definitely send you some pictures.

[Speaker 1] Yes, it is a local hot rod club that has partnered with the church and uses the big front parking lot. We have food booths and its a way to raise money for the church. I volunteer my time and I think you would fit right in with the group of people who attend.

[Speaker 2] thanks for letting me know. when is the next one? I'd like to make sure I keep my schedule clear so I can go.

[Speaker 1] I will get the details and send it to you. I also have a new group of people who are getting together once a week to do yoga in the park. Does that sound fun to you?

[Speaker 2] I've never tried yoga before. is it good for beginners? I've always heard yoga was hard. and I am not in good shape.

[Speaker 1] We are all beginners so it wont be difficult and its really good for socializing and meeting people in places other than a bar atmosphere.

[Speaker 2] well send the details and I'll at least come give it a try!

[Speaker 1] Good deal, I will! I was trying to schedule things to do about twice a week and so now I need to find one more activity. I like painting and art projects, how does an art class sound?

[Speaker 2] what about pottery? I could help teach it if you needed someone.

I am a teacher.

I have a Hyundai.  The church hosts car shows sometimes.  I usually run the soda fountain booth. I volunteer my time to work the car shows.

I want to keep my schedule clear so I can go to the next car show.

I've never tried yoga.  I am not in good shape. I'll at least come give yoga a try.

[Speaker 1] I decided to take a painting class once a week.  Maybe you could paint some of your pottery there.

[Speaker 2] oooo..... when does it start and will you be using oil or water base?

[Speaker 1] It starts in two weeks.  This class will start with water based paints as a beginning but can advance to oil if things go well.

[Speaker 2] I am struggling staying sober and my counselor said I should start a new hobby. Maybe I need to look for a class in my area. I'm not sure Id want to paint. Can you think of other hobbies?

[Speaker 1] Hmmm, how about gardening?  That would keep you busy and outside both of which would be a big help to you.

[Speaker 2] It might even help me get in better shape. I love to eat, so gardening makes sense. Have you ever grown vegetables before?

[Speaker 1] I have and it was fun and interesting, plus some work.  I grew tomatoes and squash.  Believe it or not a tomato plant has a really nice fragrance.  You'd like it!

[Speaker 2] I like tomatoes. The ones I get at the Farmer's market taste better than the grocery stores. Will you grow a garden this year?

[Speaker 1] I'm thinking about it. I do need one more thing to do and that would be a good idea.  I like tomatoes in salads and on sandwiches. Maybe I could make my own salsa with my own tomatoes! You should do this too!

[Speaker 2] You just piqued my interest...I love to put salsa on nearly everything!  Can a person grow all the ingredients for salsa?

[Speaker 1] Yes you can!  You can even do container gardening if you don't want to work the ground itself.  tomatoes, cilantro, onions, and peppers are all easily grown both ways.

[Speaker 2] I know nothing about gardening...what is container gardening?

[Speaker 1] Right now I am just working in the garden,  I am trying to grow all my own vegetables for my morning salads.

[Speaker 2] Great! Organic salads are very good for you! Do you have any flowers in your garden at the moment?

[Speaker 1] Since it is a smaller garden I only have room for the veggies but one day I hope to have one big enough to have a little bit of everything.  Have you finished watching The Walking Dead?

[Speaker 2] Well I watched Season 8 and stopped watching. I thought it was about time to move on to a different series. How about you? Do you like The Walking Dead?

[Speaker 1] It is not a bad show but I would rather just re-watch game of thrones.  Do you think you will ever finish the series?

[Speaker 2] I will pick it up once I get bored with Harry Potter. I liked the Walking Dead but the story got a little bizzare in later seasons. What kinds of movies do you like?

[Speaker 1] I've been on an anime binge lately.  Luckily Netflix just added a ton of anime shows and they are keeping me really busy.  Do you ever watch anime?

[Speaker 2] Well not really. I think anime is fun but not my cup of tea. What anime is on Netflix that you watch?

[Speaker 1] Anything that involves fantasy.  I just love the concepts they come up with. If its got special powers or awesome fight scenes then I'm guaranteed to like it.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I saw Howl's Moving Castle. That was a mind-blowing anime!

I prefer movies to books.

I have a nice flower garden. I try to grow vegetables in my garden for my morning salads.

My garden is small. I plan to have a larger garden someday.

I watch Game of Thrones.

I love the Harry Potter books.

I like reading.

I am vegetarian.

I live in America. I love chocolate.

[Speaker 1] I rented the movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and it was great. Since you like Harry Potters, you might enjoy it.

[Speaker 2] OK, I'll give it a shot. I've only really read the books though, I saw the movies only once.

[Speaker 1] I think you will really enjoy it. Have you enjoyed any other movies that you have read the books first?

[Speaker 2] Well, Game of Thrones although it's not a movie per se. You?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I know what you mean. Harry Potter for sure. Matilda springs to mind as well! Did you ever see that movie?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes, that's a fun one! have you heard about the musical?

[Speaker 1] It is a really fun movie. I would love to see the musical! Have you seen it? I have heard that it is really good!

[Speaker 2] I actually did! It's great. Great songs and heartwarming story.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow! I will have to make this the next musical on my list to see! I do enjoy a musical. My last one was Wicked! What was your last one?

[Speaker 2] My last one was Hamilton. Do you like that one?

[Speaker 1] I have never seen Hamilton. I am not sure if it is really my thing. Is it Shakespeare?

[Speaker 2] No, it's a rap musical based on the life of Alexander Hamilton.

I watch anime on Netflix. I like anime that involves fantasy. I enjoy The Walking Dead. I prefer Game of Thrones over The Walking Dead. I prefer movies to books.

I rented the movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

I have a small nice flower garden. I try to grow vegetables in my garden for my morning salads.

I would love to see the musical Matilda. The last one I saw was Wicked. I have never seen Hamilton.

I enjoyed Game of Thrones. I enjoy The Walking Dead. I watched Season 8 of The Walking Dead. I plan to watch other series. I do not enjoy anime much. I watched and enjoyed Howl's Moving Castle.

I love the Harry Potter books. I like reading. I've only read the books, though.  I saw the movies once.

I am vegetarian.

I live in America. I love chocolate.

I've seen Matilda the movie. I saw Matilda the musical. The last musical I saw was Hamilton.

[Speaker 1] I watched Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - it was okay, but not as good as the original movies.

[Speaker 2] Yeah---are you going to continue following the books and movies in the American arc?

[Speaker 1] Yes I think so. I love reading books that go with movies and I hate not to finish a series.

[Speaker 2] I used to have a lot of trouble with that---but some series are so long that it's not always worth it

[Speaker 1] Oh yes absolutely. I've loved the books that are turned into TV shows lately too. And musicals are a favorite of mine.

[Speaker 2] Any particular musical your favorite?

[Speaker 1] Wicked is my favorite. The music is astounding. I haven't been able to see Matilda yet

[Speaker 2] Ooooh. Wicked is very cool. It's honestly a little to different from the book though, for my personal taste

[Speaker 1] It is quite different. I still enjoyed it, though. I think because my mom loved The Wizard of Oz so much growing up.

[Speaker 2] I wonder if they'll ever make the follow up books into shows

[Speaker 1] Hmm, I dunno. That is an interesting idea, though. So many shows are so violent these days, something with more of a story might be nice.

[Speaker 2] Do you like the more violent musicals? Like Sweeney Todd?

[Speaker 1] I am a lady who is carniferous and never learned to swim

[Speaker 2] Nice I love meat eaters and I never learned to swim either

[Speaker 1] When did you start working? I state working early as a child?

[Speaker 2] I started as a kid too, had a newspaper route and worked the orchards too

[Speaker 1] Are both your parents still alive? Mind passed in 1979

[Speaker 2] My mom passed when she was 60 years old

[Speaker 1] That still sounds young, how sad

[Speaker 2] Yea its really young, even the nurse was crying

[Speaker 1] Terrible, nurses work so hard.

[Speaker 2] Its a very difficult occupation for anyone

I like watching anime.

I am a women. I am carniferous. I don't know how to swim.

I started working when I was young.

I had a family member pass away in 1979.

I think nurses work very hard.

I am interested in women. I don't have a favorite anime.

I don't know how to swim.

I started working when I was young. I delivered newspapers. I worked in an orchard.

My mom died when she was 60 years old.

I think being a nurse is hard work.

[Speaker 1] I was talking to a nurse and she says she loves her job even though it's stressful at times.

[Speaker 2] I could not agree with her more, My really good friend is a nurse herself, and she has also said the same, I could not do the work they do, really dedicated people

[Speaker 1] Right!! The nurse I was talking to said it takes a big toll on her both mentally and physically. You're right that requires dedication, you've got to really love the job to push through.

[Speaker 2] I did not know that being a full time nurse, meant working 3 days straight, can you imagine working 3 days straight, taking care of sick individuals? I dont think I would be able to do that.

[Speaker 1] Me neither. Even though I started working at a young age, this is just another level.

[Speaker 2] I too, I started to work when I  was extremely young delivering newspaper, I do remember thinking who gets up at 4 am to work? now, I feel silly complaining when nurses work 12 hour shifts straight.

[Speaker 1] Haha right. There's always something worse. Do you work as hard as you did when you were young or has it become easier over the years?

[Speaker 2] It has become a bit easier over the years, I feel like a robot, going through the motions without much thought? how about you? have you gotten use to the hustle and bustle of work and life?

[Speaker 1] Well for me I have my good days and bad days. It doesn't get easier or harder over the years, but sometimes I have a lot of motivation and other times none at all. I just push through you know.

[Speaker 2] Thats how I feel most days, and like you I have to push through, We do have to agree that, we are pretty lucky we dont have nurses schedules, I dont think I would have been able to survive that! lol

[Speaker 1] That's true, we always have to appreciate what we do as well.

[Speaker 2] Yes we do! thinking about nurses and their dedication to their career makes me think that I can do anything, Maybe I should learn how to swim, never learned, wished I did!

I like watching anime.

I started working when I was young.

I am NOT a nurse.

I don't know how to swim.

I started working when I was young. My first job was delivering newspapers. I worked in an orchard.

My mom died when she was 60 years old.

I am NOT a nurse.

[Speaker 1] I have really been thinking about my job and what makes it meaningful.

[Speaker 2] I'm just trying to make it through the day. The only thing meaningful to me is my paycheck.

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry to hear that. What's your job now again?

[Speaker 2] I work in a fish processing plant. I cut off the fish's heads and put them into a grinding machine.

[Speaker 1] Wow, sounds gory. Is it difficult?

[Speaker 2] No, we have very sharp blades on our knives, which is actually much safer and easier than dull blades.

[Speaker 1] Oh interesting. Yeah that makes sense. So did you ever think about becoming a nurse?

[Speaker 2] No way! People are gross. I'll stick to fish. How's your work going lately? It sounds like you're having a bit of an existential crisis.

[Speaker 1] It kind of is like that I suppose. Any advice?

[Speaker 2] How do you feel about mackerel?

[Speaker 1] It's okay haha. Do you think it's a good career for me?

[Speaker 2] The number one question you have to answer to figure that out is: How good is your sense of smell?

I am a pharmacist at CVS.

I was a wild child.

I play violin and I have 5 kids.
I want to have grandchildren one day.
I am a nurse.
I met my husband when I was 18.

[Speaker 1] How long have you played the violin?

[Speaker 2] I have  been playing for 15 years now.

[Speaker 1] How many sons do you have, and how many daughters?

[Speaker 2] I have three girls and two boys. How many boys and girls do you have?

[Speaker 1] I have 3 boys and 1 girl.

[Speaker 2] Bet the boys were protective growing up. Are all your kid married?

[Speaker 1] Only 2 of my children are married right now. One of them is divorced.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's to bad, divorce is a tuff thing to go through. Are any staying at home ?

[Speaker 1] Nope, they all live at their own houses thankfully lol

[Speaker 2] That's for sure! Do you get alot of Grandma time?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I spend a ton of time with my grandchildren. I love them so much!

[Speaker 2] You are so blessed with that! I will to someday:)

I have 3 sons and 1 daughter myself and 12 grandchildren. Two of my children are married and one is divorced. None of my kids lives at home.

My grandchildren are my world.

I am a pharmacist at CVS.

I was a wild child.

I want to have grandchildren one day.

I am a nurse.

I met my husband when I was 18.

[Speaker 1] Do any of your children also play the violin?

[Speaker 2] My oldest does, but the girls don't seem to be interested and my youngest is still in diapers. How are your grandkids doing?

[Speaker 1] They boys are doing well and my girl is too. I have so many grandkids these days! I know you want some too haha

[Speaker 2] Oh, I hope that each of my kids give me at least one grand kid. But if I am lucky, I will get 3 or more per kid and have so many grand kids, we can have the best times! What do you like to do with yours?

[Speaker 1] I just like playing with them and going on adventures. They're a blast!

[Speaker 2] That seems interesting. I don't really know what adventures are? Like you go searching for treasure? I have done the geocaching thing and didn't really like it. I think when I have grand kids that maybe we will do a lot of crafts and I can teach them how to play music.

[Speaker 1] Oh just mess around, really, nothing that formal. Although some treasure would be great. It might pay better than being a pharmacist!

[Speaker 2] I don't know. I thought Pharmacists made some good money. Are you the actual pharmacist or one of the receptionists? You know I have this app that helps make extra money if you want to try it out.

[Speaker 1] I make good money but I wish I had enough to buy my grandkids all they wanted! Haha. Oh what app is it?

[Speaker 2] It is called Ibotta. I make good money as a nurse, but I like to have gift cards and I save money on PayPal for Christmas so that it doesn't cost extra. All the app does is tell you what kinds of rebates are available, and then when you buy things on the list and scan the reciept, it adds money to your account. You can get the money on gift cards or transferred to you.

[Speaker 1] Huh that sounds interesting. How much have you made on it?

[Speaker 2] About 600 bucks in the last year. Usually I make enough to cover costs of gifts at least, but this year I have been forgetting to use it.

I have 3 sons and 1 daughter myself and 12 male and female grandchildren. Two of my children are married and one is divorced. None of my kids lives at home. I spend a lot of time with my grandchildren. My grandchildren are my world.

I met my husband when I was 18.

I have done geocaching before and didn't really like it.  I think I will do crafts with my grandkids and teach them to play music.

I have an app called Ibotta that helps you find rebates on things you buy. I made about $600 last year from the app.  I keep forgetting to use it this year.

[Speaker 1] You inspired me, so I created a small treasure hunt for my grandkids this afternoon.

[Speaker 2] I bet that they will lvoe to do that.  Is the weather nice outside for it?  What are they going to be hunting for?

[Speaker 1] We can go hunting turkeys or rabbits. You should come over for barbeque one of these days

[Speaker 2] Tukey or rabbits?  for a treasure hunt?  Woo Wee!!  That is some kind of treasure!!!

[Speaker 1] Haha, I missed that part of treasure hunting. Do you have any treasures of yor own?

[Speaker 2] Not with all these kids!!!  It's immpossible to have anything nice!!

[Speaker 1] How do you hold up with the kids?

[Speaker 2] I am busy all the time, between my kids and my job...  but it's good to by busy. And children are a blessing.  It's wonderful that your get some much time with the grandkids.  But I bet is is sure different than when you were raising your kids, right?

[Speaker 1] Sure, life then was a bit different and it was much easier. Nowdays things are a bit tight. I can pay you a visit and spend time with them, if yo won't mind

[Speaker 2] I wouldn't mind at all!!   I think it would be great.  Secretly - I think that they get bored with just their Dad and I!  LOL!!!

[Speaker 1] I can only imagine. am sure i got one or two tricks up my sleeves to cheer them up.

[Speaker 2] Oh they love vistiors!!  I so look forward to having you meet them

I am in grad school.
My major in college is business admin.
I own a honda civic.

[Speaker 1] How are you liking business admin?

[Speaker 2] I love it!  I am able to be the business savy person that I always wanted to be.  What do you do?

[Speaker 1] I am actually not sure what I want to be or study as am still considering my options. For now, I have taken a year off from school to save money.

[Speaker 2] I totally understand that.  Are you currently employed?

[Speaker 1] No I am not currently employed. I am hoping to be working soon. I am saving up to purchase a Toyota Prius for myself as I want it to be my very first car. What kind of a car do you drive?

[Speaker 2] I drive an Audi Q5. Toyotas are nice!  Are there other cars you're interested in?

[Speaker 1] Well, I definitely love the luxurious brands such as Mercedes Benz or a BMW, but obviously they're extremely expensive, and you really end up losing a lot of money in terms of gas too.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I definitely agree with that. I use to own a BMW.  Once you get a car, are you planning to go back to school?

[Speaker 1] Yes, for sure! I am only taking a year off to save up the money, and get myself a Prius. I do plan on going back to school after a year. Do you attend school or have you completed your degree?

[Speaker 2] I have finished my degree at Virginia Tech. I am an engineer

[Speaker 1] That's amazing. What kind of an engineer are you?

[Speaker 2] I am a mechanical engineer. It's a lot of work during college

I am a girl named Tai.

I am taking a year off from school to save money. I do not have a job.

I am saving money to buy a prius, my first car. I like luxury cars, but do not want to buy one because of gas.

My name is Sandy.

I am in grad school.

My major in college is business admin.

I like to learn.

I own a honda civic and an Audi Q5. I had a BMW.

I am a mechanical engineer. I went to Virginia Tech.

[Speaker 1] So, how hard was the engineering degree? I am trying to determine what degree to pursue.

[Speaker 2] So far, it's pretty challenging, but my work really applies to what I'm learning in grad school so it's great! I recommend just browsing areas of your interest! What topics interest you?

[Speaker 1] I really don't know, I'm still so young. Maybe something in automobile engineering?

[Speaker 2] That sounds interesting! Have you tried shadowing someone in the field? I used to shadow a relative who was a mechanical engineer so that sparked my interest in it!

[Speaker 1] Wow really? No I have not. Maybe you could help me out with that?

[Speaker 2] If you have time, you can shadow me at my job! By the way, have you been looking to buy your Prius soon? I saw some good sales on some used cars!

[Speaker 1] Oh that would be great! And yes, I'm still saving but let me know about any good sales.

[Speaker 2] Of course! Carmax has some pretty cheap used Prius's! I saw one for 10 K! What price range are you looking at?

[Speaker 1] 10K might be affordable but not yet. Just need to keep pick up shifts.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that is a lot of money! What jobs have you been looking at?

[Speaker 1] Right now just retail. Once I have my degree hopefully something better.

[Speaker 2] Retail is nice! Or you can even work as a waiter! I think being a waiter gives good tip! I used to wait tables when I was in college.

[Speaker 1] No, thank you for asking. How is school going?

[Speaker 2] Well, we are doing most of our work online now, so it's not as much as if in person. Did you need to get your car repaired?

[Speaker 1] I do, unfortunately. It'll be in the shop for a week or so.

[Speaker 2] Well, I hope it gets reapired sooner for you, as I am sure you need it for your accounting job. I only have a few more months of school and will be out.

[Speaker 1] How exciting! Do you have plans for the summer?

[Speaker 2] I'll keep working at the pizza place. I make good tips.

[Speaker 1] That's great. I love pizza. Do you skateboard to the pizza place?

I work at a pizza place.

I am currently in high school and doing it online.

I am almost finished with school.

[Speaker 1] The auto shop called and gave me the total to fix my car. It is a lot of money.

[Speaker 2] Oh no! How much is it going to cost?

[Speaker 1] It's 3,000. I make enough that it's ok but you know I'm not rich or anything haha.

[Speaker 2] Ouch--that IS a lot! Will your insurance cover part of it at least?

[Speaker 1] Just about half but not fully. I just thank God I'm not hurt.

[Speaker 2] Yes, your health is priceless! But still. How are you getting around while it's repaired?

[Speaker 1] I've got a loaner. It's actually quite nice. Do you still go on your skateboard?

[Speaker 2] I do, though not as much lately because it's been cold and windy. Have you ever been on a skateboard? Maybe you could try that instead of the loaner one day LOL.

[Speaker 1] Haha I don't know. Would you teach me>?

[Speaker 2] I could try! There are also lots of helpful videos on YouTube.

[Speaker 1] How do I watch it on YouTube and skateboard at the same time though? Haha I think I need in person help

[Speaker 2] Good point haha. Do you live somewhere with lots of hills?


I teach kindergarten.
My class has 26 kids.
I enjoys kayaking in my free time.
I teach at a large school.

I was born in san francisco.

I am traveling to paris this year for my vacation.

I've one sister.

I work in the pharmaceutical industry.

I work with young children.

It can be hard to control my school group.

I love to go boating when I've a spare moment.

I am in a university.

I'm from california.
I am going to france soon.
I only have a single sibling.
I am a pharmacist.

[Speaker 1] How are you doing this evening

[Speaker 2] Well thank you, just planning my trip to paris. How are you?

[Speaker 1] That's great! I wish I could go but I am a kindergarten teacher so I am poor lol

[Speaker 2] Teaching must be more exciting than the pharmaceutical industry though

[Speaker 1] That must be exciting as well, my class is quite large, 26 kids so I stay busy

[Speaker 2] My one sister teaches middle school in san francisco but her class is roughly 10 students.

[Speaker 1] At least the children get one on one attention. My school is very large!

[Speaker 2] You must have to be very organized to keep track of everyone then right?

[Speaker 1] For sure! Its a 24 7 job, I cherish my free time lol

[Speaker 2] What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

[Speaker 1] I really like kayaking, what about yourself

[Speaker 2] I love travelling and strangely enough, visiting home with my family.

[Speaker 1] Where do you like to travel to?

[Speaker 2] Anywhere that I can feel completely out of my comfort zone. Do you travel?

I am a kindergarten teacher.
Work keeps me busy.
I am an organized person.
I like kayaking.

I am going on a trip to Paris.
I work in the pharmaceutical industry.
I have one sister.
I love traveling and visiting family.

[Speaker 1] Have you traveled to Paris yet?

[Speaker 2] Not yet--but I'm making a list of the places I want to visit. I'm especially excited about Notre Dame. Though I wonder if you can kayak on the river...

[Speaker 1] I hope I could go with you and possibly kayak in Paris. When are you going?

[Speaker 2] As soon as it starts to warm up in the Spring--so early April.

[Speaker 1] Spring is a wonderful time. I visited Germany for a year while I was in college. How long will you be in Paris?

[Speaker 2] A few weeks. What was Germany like?

[Speaker 1] A few weeks are great for you to explore the city and meet people. Germany is next to France. I assume their weathers should be similar.

[Speaker 2] I hear that it can get very hot--and that a/c isn't widely available. I'm very spoiled by my a/c

[Speaker 1] Who would not be spoiled by a/c! April is a pleasant time, not too hot, not too cold, just right. You will have a great time. I really enjoy teaching my kids. How is your work?

[Speaker 2] It's pretty boring most of the time--that's why I'm really excited for this trip

[Speaker 1] I am sorry to hear that. The trip will fresh you up!

[Speaker 2] Does teaching kids ever get boring?

I am a kindergarten teacher. I enjoy teaching my kids.

Work keeps me busy.

I am an organized person.

I like kayaking.

I want to go with you to Paris and kayak.

I visited Germany when I was in college.

I work in the pharmaceutical industry.

I have one sister.

I love traveling and visiting family.

I am planning to travel to Paris and to Notre Dame. In early April, I will go to Paris for a few weeks.

I am spoiled by my a/c.

[Speaker 1] Let me tell you about what I just taught my kids.

[Speaker 2] Yes, please do. I am in a perfect mental place to hear it. I'm just relaxing in the air conditioning and chilling, literally. So yeah, what was it?

[Speaker 1] OK so I just taught them about how important it is to share. And I was surprised like a lot of kids seemed confused at the concept.

[Speaker 2] I don't think that's too surprising, to be honest. I mean, at the kindergarten level, like your kids, the concept of sharing is kind of alien to them. And if not alien, at least it's not something they embrace at that young age. I don't think I did when I was that age, lol.

[Speaker 1] That's true, but usually they are a little more used to the concept. I'm fearing that parents aren't teaching it as much as they used to

[Speaker 2] That could be true, I suppose. It sounds like work is going well for you, though. I'm glad because I know you love to keep busy! (And you're so lucky to be doing something "important" -- unlike my drug company job!)

[Speaker 1] Oh I think your drug company job is important! Isn't it?

[Speaker 2] I suppose. It just lacks that human connection that you get to enjoy every day. You get to see the impact of what you do, in a good way, more than I do, I would think.

[Speaker 1] I understand what you mean. How's your sister by the way?

[Speaker 2] She's doing really well. I'm actually trying to organize a trip to go see her in a couple of months because it's been too long. But with my Paris trip coming up, it's hard to coordinate the timing.

[Speaker 1] Ohh yeah I can imagine. What does she do now?

[Speaker 2] She's still working at her office job and kind of bored to tears with it. That's one of the reasons I want to go see her, to cheer her up a bit.


I love to dance salsa.

I'm an engineer.

I decided to quick my job and travel for a couple of months.

[Speaker 2] Hi wow that is multi tasking to the extreme.

[Speaker 1] Yeap! I am super happy that's why!

[Speaker 2] I am glad your happy. Do you salsa dance for a living

[Speaker 1] No, I am a software engineer I work on bitcoin related software... But....!

[Speaker 2] That's cool I work at the hospital as a nurse

[Speaker 1] Well I quit my job!!! And for two months now I am traveling the world! Salsaaaa!!

[Speaker 2] That's amazing I wish I could do that one day. Where are you at now

[Speaker 1] Sydney. It is amazing, because it is so different. And you?

[Speaker 2] I've been there my dad was in the army. I am in texas now

[Speaker 1] Did you like it? My next stop will be japan!

[Speaker 2] Yes both those places are wonderful I lived sydney better than japan tho

[Speaker 1] So you have already traveled the world! How lucky

[Speaker 2] I have only been to those two places cause my dad was stationed there

[Speaker 1] You need to visit europe then, I was in greece for 3 weeks and it was amazing

[Speaker 2] I have never been there before. I am an amazing baker so I like some of there foods

I can salsa dance.

I am a software engineer. I worked on bitcoin related software.

I quit my job. I am currently traveling the world.

I have visited Sydney and Greece

I will visit Japan.

I work in the hospital as a nurse.

I have visited Sydney before. My dad was in the army. I live in Texas.

I have been to Japan.

I am a baker. I like Greek food.

[Speaker 1] I saw some neat sights here in Sydney, visited some local tourist destinations. I even found some people to salsa dance with!

[Speaker 2] Sydney truly is a sight-seer's paradise! After your salsa dancing you may want to go to a very nice Greek restaurant nearby, it does delicious food.

[Speaker 1] Sounds amazing! Can't wait to try something special. What is you favourite?

[Speaker 2] The gyros are to die for, I highly recommend them! We had them when I went to Sydney with my dad, we used to travel a lot when was in the army.

[Speaker 1] I will definitely try them! thank you for the tip. How old is your dad?

[Speaker 2] He just turned 60! I baked him a huge cake to celebrate his birthday, he really enjoyed it. When is your birthday?

[Speaker 1] My birthday actually is next week. My favourite cake is the red velvet. Do you take orders? Can you make it for me?

[Speaker 2] Of course! Will you be back in time? I know you're going to Tokyo next and I don't think a cake will survive a flight across the world!

I can salsa dance.

I used to be a software engineer. I worked on bitcoin related software.

I have visited Greece. I am visiting Sydney.

I will visit Japan.

My birthday is next week. I like red velvet cake.

I work in the hospital as a nurse.

I live in Texas.

I have been to Japan.

I am a baker.I like to bake cakes.  I like Greek food, especially gyros. I used to be in the army.   My dad was in the army.  I visited Sydney with my father.

My father is 60.  I get along well with my father. I live fairly near my father.

I live in the same country as the other speaker.

[Speaker 1] I've been planning my trip to Tokyo, thinking about some shopping.

[Speaker 2] Oh you will love it there. Let me know if you need any recommendations for places to go while you're there. Don't forget to visit rural Japan as well.

[Speaker 1] Thanks so much, good idea. I am planning on being there for 2 weeks. I hope that's enough time to see some of the major sites. How long were you in Japan?

[Speaker 2] I actually lived there for ten years while my father was in the military. He was stationed at the military base near Okinawa. So I have been all over the country.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow!! That must have been quite the experience! Did you learn enough Japanese to speak comfortably with the locals?

[Speaker 2] Yes, my Japanese speech decent enough for a foreigner. However, I went to an English speaking school, so my reading skills are not what they should be.

[Speaker 1] Did you find that challenging when you went for your RN degree?

[Speaker 2] No, I went to college here in the States. One thing good about Japan is that they have higher education standards so I found most of my college coursework to be fairly easy. What about you? How challenging was it to obtain your degree?

[Speaker 1] Studying software involved reading more than English. Since I love computers, learning code was a fun adventure. I try to stay fluent in that area. Coding is valuable if I ever go back to software. Maybe I can do a few side jobs while I travel. Have you ever thought of being a traveling nurse?

[Speaker 2] No, one of the reasons why I left the army was I wanted to put some roots down. Traveling is fun for a hobby, but it gets old when you have to do it for a living. I love being able to get to know my neighbors and my neighborhood without having to worry about being relocated.

[Speaker 1] I hadn't considered that, I have been so excited about the adventures that I've not missed that yet.

[Speaker 2] How did you find Greece when you visited? I would love to do a foodie tour of the Greek isles.

[Speaker 1] Tell me more about yourself, I'm out of things

[Speaker 2] I'm too. Not much more for me

[Speaker 1] Cool well now we just need this program to let us cash in

[Speaker 2] Totally agree. Maybe I could really afford to go to space haha

[Speaker 1] Yeah right, I wish I was getting that kind of money!

[Speaker 2] Me too. You can always dream

I have 4000 facebook friends.
I have a cat named contraband.
I live by myself.

I am not too formal. I love lasagna.

I have 2 dogs.

I have a poster with neil tyson degrasse on my wall.

I want to be an astronaut.

[Speaker 1] My cat is acting strange.

[Speaker 2] Yeah why what has your cat been doing?

[Speaker 1] My cat has been less active.

[Speaker 2] Why don't you try taking him out a lot of people use cat leads these days to walk their cats. It would be good exercise for you and the cat.

[Speaker 1] I think that would be a great idea. I might as well see a vet.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I would as well just to be on the safe side maybe your cat has something wrong with it.

[Speaker 1] I thought so too. I'll definitely get to know if any thing is wrong as soon as we visit the vet. What is the name your dogs?

[Speaker 2] My one dog is called misty and the other is called Jynx they are both very active I take them for walks everyday. What is your cats name?

[Speaker 1] Super cute names they've got. Mine is contraband.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that's a different name but I like it. My dogs are always on the go it's hard to keep up with them.

I have 4000 facebook friends.
I live by myself.
I have a cat named Contraband
My cat is normally active.

I am not too formal. I love lasagna.

I have a poster with Neil Tyson degrasse on my wall.

I want to be an astronaut.

I find it hard to keep up with my dogs.

[Speaker 1] My cat has been acting strange because he has not been as active as normal.   I am going to take him to a vet to see if anything is wrong.  Do you think that sounds like a good idea?

[Speaker 2] I think that if your cat is acting different than usual then it is always a good idea to visit the vet. Even just for peace of mind. Are you going to try get an appointment?

[Speaker 1] I guess I should  I don't want Contraband to be in any kind of pain.

[Speaker 2] Is Contraband a he or a she? No you don't want your cat to be in pain. I remember when Misty had an infection. It made me really sad to see her like that.

[Speaker 1] It's a he. Wow, is she okay?

[Speaker 2] She is fine now. She is back to her usual active self which is great to see! Would you ever consider having a dog or are you more of a cat person?

[Speaker 1] I'm more of a cat person but dogs are nice. Maybe if you have one I can visit it one day haha.

[Speaker 2] You will be more than welcome. My dogs are so friendly and they love to play! Are you quite active?

[Speaker 1] I try to be! I try to go outside and run. How about you?

[Speaker 2] I love to be active. My dogs certainly keep me busy. I have a beach near me so we love to go and play by the sea. Do you have a beach nearby?

[Speaker 1] No, it's far from me. Maybe I could visit your beach though?

[Speaker 2] My beach is really nice. You would love it. They have this really cool place there that do the best pancakes and waffles! Are you a dessert lover?

I have 4000 facebook friends.

I live by myself.

I have a male cat named Contraband. My cat is normally active.

I live near a beach. I like to be active. I like to play with my dogs near the sea.

There is a restaurant near where I live that I like.

[Speaker 1] What is your favorite food to order at the restaurant near your home?

[Speaker 2] Although I love many foods, pizza would definitely be my favorite. How about you?

[Speaker 1] I am going to have to agree with you on pizza! So many options

[Speaker 2] That is true, I love all the toppings. My favorite though would be pepperoni, do you agree?

[Speaker 1] Although i like pepperoni, i have an odd favorite. Its calamari pizza!

[Speaker 2] Oh my I have never tried that, but I'll make sure to check it out. Maybe I'll get some some and eat it on the beach.

[Speaker 1] Good place for it, careful with the sand though. Have you and your dogs been to the beach recently?

[Speaker 2] Yes, we have been getting lots of exercise. Have you been taking your cat to get some exercise?

[Speaker 1] I have! I even started taking him on walks. I think he needed the experience, he is acting much better now.

[Speaker 2] That is good, and I hope taking him to the vet helped. I need to take my dogs there they are in need of a checkup!

[Speaker 1] Ha well he hated the trip but it was definitely worth it to get that ease of mind that hes ok

[Speaker 2] Yes, knowing your pet is okay is the best feeling. Even better the pizza on the beach!

[Speaker 1] Fine, thank you, my internet is very high speed

[Speaker 2] That's awesome, that would work great for me, since I'm highly educated.

[Speaker 1] Bet I can beat you in chess, I can beat almost anyone

[Speaker 2] You probably could since I don't play chance. I work for a newspaper.

[Speaker 1] I work as a security guard, what newspaper?

[Speaker 2] The times. I'm a carnivore, how about you?

[Speaker 1] Same, enjoy meat very much. Do you like solar eclipses?

[Speaker 2] Yes, they're cool. My dad used to be a butcher.

[Speaker 1] I saw my first solar eclipse when I was only 8 years old

[Speaker 2] Were you with friends? My only friend is my dog.

[Speaker 1] Yes, with some friends. It was nice

I like solar eclipses.

My only friend is a dog.

[Speaker 1] What do you do for the newspaper?

[Speaker 2] I write sports editorials for local teams, mostly high school but some amateur sports as well. Do you play chess competitively?

[Speaker 1] That is awesome I always wanted to be a writer myself, somehow I ended up being a security guard at one of our local banks. I use to, I was the national champion by the age of 22. Now I play for fun.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow! That is a great accomplishment, why did you decide to stop playing competitively?

[Speaker 1] I became really interested in Eclipses, I started to spend my time on learning more about them, what location of the globe will give me the best outlook, etc. I devoted more time in researching eclipses, I do love solar eclipses more than any other type of eclipses, I have to say, you?

[Speaker 2] I actually have not spent much time learning about Eclipses, but would like to in the future. Did you study them in school?

[Speaker 1] No, I did not, The first time I seen a solar eclipse I was 8 years old, I was shocked and in awe of what could happen with the solar system, since then Ive always had my eclipse curiosity. I guess I like solar eclipses more than the average person, how old were you when you seen your first solar eclipse?

[Speaker 2] I think I was around 10 years old. I really liked astronomy in school and wish I would have studied it a bit more once I got in to college. I hope I can make more time to learn about it in the future.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, thats one of the main reason I stopped playing chess competitively, I made time to learn more about eclipses. what did you study in college ? journalism?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I studied journalism. I really got in to writing when I joined my high school's newspaper team and decided I wanted to make it my career. Did you know early on that you wanted to be a security guard?

[Speaker 1] That's awesome! No I did not know I wanted to be a guard, until I retired from being a police officer, I wanted to do something with my spare time, Thankfully I had the experience and skills to be a security guard, I live in a pretty safe area, no worries on my end, as of yet, of course.

[Speaker 2] That is great that you found something to fill in your spare time and something that you already had the experience for.  Do you have any other hobbies that fill in your spare time?

I have high speed internet.

I also eat meat.

I was a police officer.  I retired from the police. I like to work.  I live in a safe area. I work as a bank security guard.  I am a good chess player.  I play chess for fun now, but used to compete.  When I was young, I wanted to be a writer.

I am really interested in solar eclipses.

I have seen more than one solar eclipse, the first one at age 8.

I stopped competitive chess because eclipses were more interesting to me.

I am highly educated.

I don't play chess. I work for a local newspaper. I write about nonprofessional sports. I studied journalism in college.  I worked at my high school newspaper.

I eat meat.

I like solar eclipses.

My only friend is a dog.

I don't know much about eclipses, but find them interesting.

I saw a solar eclipse at age 10.

[Speaker 1] A weird guy came into the bank today, I was afraid there might be trouble.

[Speaker 2] That training never leaves you, does it? Anything I might be able to put into a story?

[Speaker 1] He just came in with a hat and glasses on with a very baggy hoodie and his hands in the pockets and it just seemed like he may be up to no good.

[Speaker 2] Ah, that describes half the town. Not a great story! Say, are there any eclipses coming up?

[Speaker 1] that is unusual for the area I live in. so he definitely looked very out of place. I think there is one coming up in a few months. but I'd have to double check that.

[Speaker 2] I saw this article that told you how to build a camera type thing so you can see the eclipse without looking directly at it - I'd like to give it a go but don't know too much. Is there a good viewing point for the next one?

[Speaker 1] well aside from being in a big clearing free of buildings and trees. You'll want to make sure you are somewhere that it isn't cloudy the day of.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense. I hope the weather is OK for the next one. How many have you seen now?

[Speaker 1] I've seen 4 so far. have you only ever seen the one?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, but I don't remember very much about it as I was still quite young. Perhaps I could quiz you for an article for the paper about eclipses?

[Speaker 1] we can set that up. I'm not free to do that today but could probably do it later this week.

[Speaker 2] That would be great. I have a meat platter in the fridge with noone to share it with aside the dog if you fancy grilling?


I am from austin, texas.

I post a lot about the food I eat on social media.

I like to cook new recipes.

I like every post I see on social media.

I'd like to go to school to become a veterinarian.

I love animals and I want to help them.

I love going to the gym.

I've three pets.

I am currently on a diet.

I live in the lone star state.

I like to care for pets.

I like to work out.

I really love animals.

I would like to lose weight.

[Speaker 1] Hey, there! Hows it going?

[Speaker 2] Good, just got back from the gym. How about you?

[Speaker 1] I was testing out a new recipe. I love to cook.

[Speaker 2] I do too! Though I can do much now. On a diet. Want to lose ten pounds

[Speaker 1] There are tons of healthy recipes out there. Have you tried them?

[Speaker 2] I have, but most of them taste like dog food. Which is odd, as I love animals.

[Speaker 1] Maybe I can share my posts of my healthy meals with you.

[Speaker 2] Sure. So other then health stuff what do you like? Pets? I have 3 dogs.

[Speaker 1] I'm all over social media, thumbing up posts like a boss!

[Speaker 2] That's cool. What do you want to do in the future? I wanna be a vet.

[Speaker 1] I might want to be a chef or open a restaurant here in austin.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like you like to cook. The same for me with wanting to help animals.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I am an online foodie. If only there were a job for that!

[Speaker 2] I think there are. Blogger? Lol

I love to cook.

I want to be a veterinarian.

I really love animals.

[Speaker 1] How is your diet going?

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure yet. I have lost a about 5 pounds but I think it's all water weight. And I'm really hungry. Are you cooking today?

[Speaker 1] 5 pounds is good! Just make sure you're not starving yourself! I'm going to make dinner soon, any suggestions on what to make?

[Speaker 2] Hm I don't know, you're the chef! Maybe something with fish?

[Speaker 1] I guess. Probably some battered fish and some pasta. How about you, are you cooking today?

[Speaker 2] That sounds good! No, not cooking today, I just had a salad. The dogs eat better than me right now!

[Speaker 1] I see. Dogs always eats a lot! What kind of dogs do you have?

[Speaker 2] I have two terriers and one German Shepherd mixed with something, we don't really know, they're all rescues. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 1] That's really neat! I just have one big goldfish. I'm thinking of getting another fish maybe

[Speaker 2] Fish are nice. I heard you need to be careful when you get a second one as they may kill each other! Is that true?

[Speaker 1] Ah true. I hadn't thought about that but I guess that's true. Maybe I'll get another goldfish to keep each other company. Have you considered getting pet fishes before?

[Speaker 2] No, I prefer pets that you can pet. My sister had a goldfish when we were young though. Until our cat ate it.

I love to cook.

I have posts of healthy meals.

I like a lot of posts on social media.

I have one big goldfish, i'm thinking of getting another goldfish.

I go to the gym.

I have tried many healthy recipes.

I have 3 dogs.

I want to be a veterinarian.

[Speaker 1] After our conversation I decided to go to the pet store and I bought a black goldfish.

[Speaker 2] Oh, so you got a friend for your other goldfish. What do you enjoy about having fish?

[Speaker 1] Yes I did. He is super little compared to my big goldfish, but I hope he grows in time. I am looking forward to seeing him grow and just swim around. I really like seeing my goldfish swim around. Did you ever resent your cat for eating your goldfish?

[Speaker 2] I mean I liked our cat for the most part. Yeah, I was sad and upset with my cat when it ate my goldfish, but I couldn't stay mad at her. Where do you keep your fish?

[Speaker 1] I keep them in the living room. I have a huge tank for them so it is as if they are at a miniature Disneyland.

[Speaker 2] That's fun! I have an obstacle course in the backyard for the dogs to play on. Do you have little castles and things like that in the tank for them?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I have to send you a picture one of these days. I want to add a few more so the little goldfish can feel more comfortable. How long did it take you to build the course?

[Speaker 2] I'd like that. It took a couple weeks to get it all assembled. Some of it I ordered online and put together and few others I bought some lumber and cut it put it all together. How long do goldfish normally live?

[Speaker 1] Well, the longest lived goldfish on record lived to age 43. So I hope mine live long and outlast most goldfish. You should have called me to help you! I bet that would have been fun to do together.

[Speaker 2] If I ever add to it I'll call you up. Do you like putting stuff together?

[Speaker 1] Not really but I am always willing to help out a friend, and catch up with some fun. I kind of want to vacation away from Austin, so visiting could be my trip.

[Speaker 2] I appreciate that. If you could go anywhere for vacation, where would you go?

I love to cook. I have posts of healthy meals. I like a lot of posts on social media. I want to be a chef or open a restaurant. I live in Austin.

I have one big black goldfish, and a new one I just got. I now have two goldfish. I keep goldfish in a tank in my living room.

I do not like do-it-yourself projects. I like helping and spending time with my friends.

I go to the gym.

I love to cook. I am on a diet. I want to lose ten pounds. I have tried many healthy recipes.

I have 3 dogs. I want to be a veterinarian. I really love animals. I prefer pets you can pet. I have a sister who had a goldfish when we were young. Our cat ate it.

I have a backyard. I am handy with tools.

[Speaker 1] Unfortunately, my goldfish aren't getting along.

[Speaker 2] Oh no, what happened? Are you going to have to separate them?

[Speaker 1] I will probably have to separate them, yes. I am not sure, guess the black one has established domain. How is the diet going? I have found some new recipes I would like to try out.

[Speaker 2] Yea that sometimes happens with fish. My diet is going alright, I'm in a bit of a slump because I'm getting burnt out on the same meals everyday. I would love recommendations of new healthy recipes!

[Speaker 1] Sorry to hear that. I will try to find some recipes for you. How is the veterinarian process? Any schooling yet?

[Speaker 2] I'm volunteering at a veterinarian's office right now, getting some experience and observation hours. I hope to start schooling soon but need to get more hours before I apply.

[Speaker 1] That is great! I am happy for you. Always nice when we can reach our goals. Unfortunately, I have been a little too busy lately to work on opening a restaurant.

[Speaker 2] Yea I can't wait! How soon will you open?

[Speaker 1] It will be a while. I have had some family illness related setbacks. Also, I still have a few more business training courses to take.

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry to hear about the illnesses, are they doing ok? Will that push you back or are you still roughly on the same time schedule?

[Speaker 1] Thank you. We don't really know much right now. I will probably have to put the courses off until next year. So, tell me which of the animals you are training with are your favorites? I myself, prefer cats over dogs..

[Speaker 2] I love dogs the best, but anything with fur is a favorite!

[Speaker 2] Just got in from my garden. I was seeing if my carrots are ready to harvest.

[Speaker 1] I'm having dinner at my apartment with my 3 sisters

[Speaker 2] That sounds like wonderful family time. Most my family is not around.

[Speaker 1] Oh do you have any close friends?

[Speaker 2] I am 71 and live in the countryside most my friends can not travel as well.

[Speaker 1] Oh I see. Do you enjoy country life?

[Speaker 2] I do very much so, nice and quiet. Are you in a city?

[Speaker 1] Yes, new york. I want to be a nurse here

[Speaker 2] That's a busy life there. How do you keep up with it all?

[Speaker 1] It isn't so busy, it is very fulfilling

[Speaker 2] I have never really had the need to travel there. Heard many stories tho.

[Speaker 1] Do you like the beatles, they are my favorite

[Speaker 2] I sure do, really enjoyed them back in my glory days.

I live in an apartment. I have 3 sisters.

I live in New-York. I am studying to be a nurse.

My favorite band is the Beatles.

I grow carrots in a garden.
I live far from most of my family.
I am 71 years old.
I like the Beatles.

[Speaker 1] My dinner with my sisters went well, we had so much fun.

[Speaker 2] I'm so glad to hear that, what did you guys have to eat?

[Speaker 1] We had steak and potatoes! Have you seen your family recently?

[Speaker 2] That sounds delicious, although a lack of vegetables, I will have to send you some the next time I pick some from my garden. Sadly no, I only see them a few times a year.

[Speaker 1] I would love something from your garden! I live in New York city, so I don't have room for a garden, but I have always wanted one!

[Speaker 2] Great! is there any vegetables you would prefer to have? anything I don't grow myself I'm sure my neighbours will be willing to donate.

[Speaker 1] I love carrots! I'll take anything you have though. I am a nurse, so I am really trying to eat healthier!

[Speaker 2] Then i'll make a parcel up next week and send it to you. How are your studies going? I'm sure being a nurse in training is hard work.

[Speaker 1] It has its days, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I love to help people, so I can't wait to get out into the field!

[Speaker 2] How heart-warming! I'm sure you will be a great nurse. I would be lucky to have you help me.

[Speaker 1] Thank you so much! What do you like to do for fun?

[Speaker 2] I don't do much these days but garden and read the newspaper, I am the stereotypical old man. How about you?

I live in an apartment in New York City.  I don't have a garden. I have 3 sisters. I have fun with them.

I am studying to be a nurse.

My favorite band is the Beatles.

I eat steak and potatoes.

I love carrots.  I am trying to eat healthy.

I love to help people.

I live far from most of my family. I don't see my family often.

I am 71 years old man.

I like the Beatles.

I grow carrots in a vegetable garden.

My neighbors have gardens.

I read the newspaper.  I don't do much for fun.

[Speaker 1] What have you read in the newspaper lately?

[Speaker 2] I noticed the crime rate in my area is on the rise. I was researching getting a home security system or the ring doorbell. Do have anything like that?

[Speaker 1] I have one called Ring. Have you heard of it?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I think that I read that it is easy to install. Do you like yours and did you install it by yourself? I dont have anyone to help me.

[Speaker 1] I did it by myself. A  bit tricky but I got the hang of it. I could help you

[Speaker 2] That would be great or you could always send me a video and I can try to do it on my own. I hate to be a burden. The paper also had a store about home invasions and how to stay safe. They recommend a safe room but I don't know what that is, do you?

[Speaker 1] That's basically a room you can lock down in if things hit the fan. But that seems like overkill to me.

[Speaker 2] Oh, like a safe vault for a human, yeah I don't need that. The only think I have of value is my Beatles album signed by John Lennon. Do you have any memorabilia of them?

[Speaker 1] Nothing that valuable! Just some toys and records and such

[Speaker 2] Okay, well if you help me get the ring doorbell thing set up I will give you my album in return. I would like to see it go to someone who could appreciate it.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow! I would feel bad because it's so valuable.

[Speaker 2] It would be my pleasure and you and your sisters could enjoy it together. Being alone can cause people to start letting things go easier. Its family that is important in the end.

[Speaker 1] I saw the strangest thing at the hospital today.

[Speaker 2] Oh? Was it okay? What was it?

[Speaker 1] Yes, luckily nothing with a patient but somebody in the waiting room had an emotional support animal with them and it was a peacock!

[Speaker 2] What? That's crazy! Is that allowed?

[Speaker 1] On a busier day it probably wouldn't have been but they let it slide because it was quiet in there and the bird was leashed and very well-behaved. Don't see that everyday!

[Speaker 2] Wow that is amazing! It didn't make a mess did it?

[Speaker 1] No! I was very impressed actually. It was better behaved than most people, hahaha. How has your day been going?

[Speaker 2] Oh I'm stressed... maybe I need a peacock LOL

[Speaker 1] Maybe just get your toddler to draw one for now. Is everything ready for the new baby?

[Speaker 2] We are doing the best we can haha. It's just hard to plan for I guess

[Speaker 1] I'm sure! Is your son excited to have a baby brother?

[Speaker 2] He is although sometimes he seems jealous. I guess that's just normal though!

[Speaker 2] Oh he has a YouTube channel by the name ‘The story so far'. You should check it out. It's pretty cool!

[Speaker 1] Yeah I think I will what type of music do they sing?

[Speaker 2] It's mainly pop and country. The music is quite catchy! Is it something that you would like to listen to?

I work from home

My boyfriend is in a band called "The story so far". They have a youtube channel.

I met my boyfriend at a festival.

I love to party.

I want to get married soon.

[Speaker 1] I checked out those Youtube videos! Your boyfriend's band are really cool, I do love their music!

[Speaker 2] yeah they are great! The Story So Far absolutely rocks and I can't wait to marry him

[Speaker 1] I am not ready for marriage. I think it is a bit too permanent. I prefer to know that I can leave or change my mind whenever I want to. But congrats to you I guess. He did do a good job in the band from what I saw, though his friend with the blonde hair is wayyy more hot!

[Speaker 2] What? No way! You are crazy haha. I disagree strongly.

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah. Those jincos looked so good on him, and the style with the half shaved almost mohawk! Oh he is so delicious. I would dump your bf and go for that hunk there. But that is just me.

[Speaker 2] You are wild! What about your bf, do you like him more than your bf?

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah. My bf is really sweet, but he isn't as hot as that guy. Of course, I am not close enough to get to try him out haha. So I guess a girl can only dream. But my BF is great with his hands so IDK. I like him for now.

[Speaker 2] Wow you really are so wild! I just want to settle down with my guy and take it easy you know?

[Speaker 1] I guess. But then the guy will want kids and he will want you to clean up his pig messes that he didn't let you know he made before. And then they get all bossy and demand favors and get kind of pushy and sometimes violent. Permanence changes people and I am just not down to see what happens when a guy thinks he owns me. Nah. Maybe I will marry myself and have male concubines.

[Speaker 2] Oh my god that's funny haha. I think all I want is one guy. You are much more wild than me, sister! LOL

[Speaker 1] If you ever decide to get out for vacation and check out other meat on the market, I can hook you up. I know a lot of really nice places that usually have some sexy men floating around looking for a fun night.

[Speaker 2] Wow, haha what an offer. I do love parties but I'm not sure I'll need that.

[Speaker 1] Cool, do you have a girlfriend married?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, we have been together for years. You?

[Speaker 1] I am divorced, but have 2 beautiful children which I cherish

[Speaker 2] That's nice. I have two older brothers who live on a small farm with me.

[Speaker 1] Is it an animal or vegetable farm? My mother would bake the best pie whichever lol

[Speaker 2] Ahahah, vegetable farm. Where do you live btw?

[Speaker 1] I currently live in louisiana, you?

[Speaker 2] I'm in ohio. Do you live in the city? I have never really been to the city...

[Speaker 1] Yes I live in the city, it is really busy and chaotic

[Speaker 2] My dream is to have my band become famous enough to play in the city.

My name is Dave.

I am enrolled in 2nd year of med school.

I am divorced and have 2 children.

My mom bakes.

I live in a city in Louisiana.

My name is Jeremy.

I play guitar in the local band.

I've been with my girlfriend for 2 years.

I live with 2 older brothers in a small farm in Ohio in the country.

The farm I live grow vegetables.

I want to play music in the city.

[Speaker 1] I just heard about a band competition in a city near you.

[Speaker 2] I may have played there last year. What city is it in?

[Speaker 1] The city is in Toronto. I am sure of this.

[Speaker 2] No. That's not where the festival I played in last year is located. Tell me about you - are you specializing in med school? What sort of doctor will you be?

[Speaker 1] I am a student at John Hopkins Medical School. I am specializing in anesthesiology. I want to be an anesthesiologist.

[Speaker 2] Wow! This is impressive. Johns Hopkins is a very good school. What made you want to be a doctor?

[Speaker 1] I want to help others. I want to be a productive member of society.

[Speaker 2] I admire that. You mentioned you have a couple kids. How old are they?

[Speaker 1] I have a boy and a girl. The boy is five and the girl is two.

[Speaker 2] Good for you. I hope my girlfriend and I have children after we get married. I think having children is a lot of fun.

[Speaker 1] Having children is fun. A lot of childfree adults see having children as a bad thing. However, it has its perks.

[Speaker 2] I bet your mom will spoil them with homemade cookies!

My name is Dave.

My mom bakes.

I live in a city in Louisiana.

I am studying anesthesiology at John Hopkins Medical School. This is my 2nd year of med school.

I am divorced and I have 2 kids. a 5 yo boy and a 2 yo girl.

My name is Jeremy.

I play guitar in the local band.

The farm I live grow vegetables.

I want to play music in the city.

[Speaker 1] So, do you have any other band competitions coming up that you want to participate in?

[Speaker 2] Well, there's one we want to enter but it's about a four hour drive which will mean the band will have to stay at least overnight. I'ts busy season at the farm, but I still have to talk to my brothers about it to make sure they'll be ok with me taking the time off.

[Speaker 1] Do you think you'll win if you enter any?

[Speaker 2] I'm hopeful! I think we're great, but I hear the competition is expected to be stiff. In the music industry, that's the breaks. You have to develop a tough skin. This coming Summer we'll be at the Band Battle in Louisiana near you! I can't wait to try the food there.

[Speaker 1] Oh you should because the gumbo here is to die for. Ever had gumbo?

[Speaker 2] I never had but it looks delicious. The closest I've come to genuine Louisiana food is Popeyes chicken...which I'm sure isn't that authentic, lol

[Speaker 1] Oh it's not but it's good haha. At least I think so. I dig their sandwiches.

[Speaker 2] Lol, me too! They cause controversy! Other than that, the band and I are excited to visit. My part of Ohio is beautiful, but there isn't a whole lot to do. I was hoping the band battle would line up with Mardi Gras, but I don't think it will. Still, I'm super excited.

[Speaker 1] You should come to Mardi Gras one day tho. It's such a blast!

[Speaker 2] Well, just maybe. My brothers are pretty easy on me when it comes to the farm work, although it's a family effort. They know how much I love the band and how I like to travel

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah the farm! That must be hard. What kinda vegetables do you grow these days>?
