[Speaker 1] My hair is real frizzy and curly so I've to pull it back when I cook.

[Speaker 2] I can imagine! Mine is pretty frizzy also.

[Speaker 1] I know someone with autism. They say arts and crafts are good for them.

[Speaker 2] I will have to try that. Oddly enough video games seem to help.

[Speaker 1] I'm a real tall woman but my stove is short. I need to be higher.

[Speaker 2] Well perhaps a carpenter could adjust it for you.

[Speaker 1] I heard games can help too. I like drawing and I help them learn to draw.

[Speaker 2] Yes I'll have to try drawing.

[Speaker 1] Yes I'll get a carpenter to put my stove up on blocks.

[Speaker 2] That should definitely help you out

[Speaker 1] Ethnic foods are full of flavors and spices that is why I love to cook them so much.

[Speaker 2] I love foods full of flavors and spices!

I cook ethnic food. I love the flavors and spices in ethnic food.

I am a tall woman with frizzy curly hair.

I like to draw.

I have autism. I do not cook.
I also have frizzy hair.
I play video games.
I love food full of flavor and spices.

[Speaker 1] I cooked african lambchops with savory spices.

[Speaker 2] Yum that tastes great. I wish I could cook.

[Speaker 1] Do you have any interest in learning how?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I would love to learn to cook. It would really be a useful skill.

[Speaker 1] Have you tried downloading any apps to help you?

[Speaker 2] Nope. I tried some recipes that I found on the internet, but I was having trouble doing them.

[Speaker 1] How about taking a cooking class at a nearby community college. That's how I learned and I am glad I did it!

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a great idea. I'll have to look into it!

[Speaker 1] Fantastic, I promise you won't regret it. I have recently been trying to find something to help me with my frizzy hair. Any tips?

[Speaker 2] There's a bunch of products that I use for my frizzy hair that really help. I'll send you a list of the ones that work well for me.

[Speaker 1] Thanks, I appreciate that. Which one is your favorite?

[Speaker 2] I'll have to check the name of it, but it really helps me manage my hair. I've been using it for years and it has been doing wonders for me.

I like to draw.

I learned how to cook from a class at a community college.

I have autism.

I also have frizzy hair.

I play video games.

I love food full of flavor and spices.

I can't cook. I would like to learn to cook.

I tried to follow some internet recipes but was not successful.

[Speaker 1] I found a carpenter like you suggested, and they were able to raise my stove do it's easier to cook.

[Speaker 2] I wish I could cook like you but I think if I can't cook, I can at least be a guinea pig to try out the dishes for you.

[Speaker 1] How funny you mention guinea pigs... that was actually the first dish I cooked on my new-and-improved stove! I cooked up a hot, fresh, Cuy Peruano -- or "Peruvian Guinea Pig"!  It's a delicasy in Peru. I'd gladly offer you some!

[Speaker 2] You mean cooking a real guinea pig?  I want to eat but I don't want to be eaten.  Are you going to fatten me up then cook me?  Those little guinea pig are so cute.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, they're so cute. I could never kill one. I bought it at the local Peruvian grocery store. I just added my own spices. I've never eaten a human, and I don't plan to! You don't need to worry. Have you considered taking a cooking class? They're not too expensive, and it's a lot of fun. It's a great skill to learn!

[Speaker 2] Being with my condition, there is not much place will accommodate me.  I did think about to take class on line instead.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I understand. I've never heard above an online cooking class -- but I'm sure they exist! Everything's online these days. What kind of "ethnic foods" are your favorite?

[Speaker 2] If I could pick, I would like to learn how to cook Thai food.  I love spicy food.  How about you?

[Speaker 1] Thai food is very good, but I'm not too great at cooking it yet. I love the spices in Indian food, and I can get the ingreadients easily in my city. I also love delicious, Italian pasta dishes -- there's actually a lot of skill involved to get the flavors just right. I hope to master it some day.

[Speaker 2] I only know about eating not the cooking.  I always amazed by how chef know how much to spice to put in to make the perfect combination.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, some of the chef's I follow on social media are very talented! Lots of them own restaurants, it's a great way to experience their cooking and their recipes. I live in Chicago -- there are lots of great places to experiences the perfect combination of spices. Have you ever been to a Famous Chef's restaurant ?

[Speaker 2] No, they are too expensive for me.  Also, I just don't like to travel much at all.

[Speaker 1] It is located in New York City.  Have you ever been there?

[Speaker 2] New York, not yet but hopefully sometime soon.  So how many pieces of art did you display in the exhibit?

[Speaker 1] It was a smaller set up since it featured a few artists.  I had maybe 8 pieces total.  There was a good turn out so overall I'm pleased with it.

[Speaker 2] Nice!  Were you able to sell any art?  I always loved looking at the difference varieties of art at an exhibition but I'm too cheap to buy any.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I sold a few pieces.  How is your job going?

[Speaker 2] I work at an auto factory. We assembly pick-up truck.  It's pretty boring compared to making and selling art.  Is your art your only source of income?

[Speaker 1] Yes, it is hard at times to make it work but I love what I do.  So what is your interests?

[Speaker 2] I like to save up and travel when I can.  I plan on going to France hopefully this year.  Have you ever been there?  I heard they call Paris the "City of Art".

[Speaker 1] No, it is my dream to go to Paris one day.  I have heard it is amazing and yes I have seen some great art from there.

I have never watched hockey.

I have an art exhibit as a painter. I had 8 art pieces on display. I am an artist working for an art company. I sell my work. I sold a few pieces.

I was in New York City.

I have a desk job as an accountant at a car factory assembling pick-up trucks.

I like hockey.

I have a close relationship with my mom. I hate talking over the phone.

I am interested in art. I can't afford to buy art.

I have not been to New York. I like to travel and plan on going to France this year.

[Speaker 1] I have an art exhibit coming up - would you be interested in seeing some of my work?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I'd love to see it.  What type of pieces are they, and when is it?

[Speaker 1] It's going to be in the downtown area, this friday!

[Speaker 2] What type of paintings do you paint?  Abstract or realistic?  Portraits?  Landscapes?  I'd love to see it whatever it is.  Of course I'd have to get there.

[Speaker 1] I have all different types of genres. I don't like to limit myself. Do you have a favorite style of art?

[Speaker 2] I like Renaissance art the best, I think, but I can definitely enjoy all types.  This new exhibit you're having is in New York again?  I know you said downtown.  I'd love to come but I doubt I'll be able to get to New York this time of year.  Maybe you could send me some photos of the pieces.

[Speaker 1] Renaissance art is amazing! Yes it's in downtown new york, in the Brooklyn area. Hm, if you can't make it I'm sure I can send some photos and videos! Hopefully you can, though

[Speaker 2] You know I'd love to be there but this is a busy time of year for me.  And yes, Renaissance art really is amazing.  Who are the artists who've most inspired you?

[Speaker 1] I take a lot of inspiration from Van Gogh, actually. He's one of my favorite artists.

[Speaker 2] Yes, his works are very powerful.  I've seen a few in person but I'd love to go to Holland and see so many more.  Hopefully if I get to France this year I'll see some too.

[Speaker 1] That's amazing! I've never been to France but I've always wanted to go and see his art in person too. Could be fun if we did it together!

[Speaker 2] Hi and hello to speckles too. No pets for me, dorm rules and all

[Speaker 1] That is too bad. What are you studying?

[Speaker 2] Engineering but taking some art classes too

[Speaker 1] That sounds interesting! I work in an engineering office.

[Speaker 2] Cool what type of engineering?

[Speaker 1] Agricultural engineering. I just work in finance though.

[Speaker 2] I am just starting in civil engineering. I like creative stuff cooking, painting but love planning things

[Speaker 1] Planning is always fun! I love planning my shopping trips ahead.

[Speaker 2] I only like shopping if its for dessert! Could use some ice cream now

[Speaker 1] I love ice cream. Too bad its getting too cold out to eat much ice crem.

[Speaker 2] Guess we could settle for cookies instead. Any hobbies?

[Speaker 1] My favorite hobby is knitting. Unfortunately it bores speckles.

[Speaker 2] Maybe speckles just wants a sweater of their own. No knitting but I like to cook.

I have a cat.

I love ice cream.

My favorite hobby is knitting.

I don't have a pet. I live in a dorm.

I am an civil engineering student. I take art class.

I like cooking. I like painting. I love planning things.

[Speaker 1] How are your engineering and art classes going?

[Speaker 2] Hi. Classes are going great for me. How is work going for you?

[Speaker 1] Work has been really stressfull lately. So much work to do it is never ending. I wish for one or 2 weeks I could go back to school and take art classes again. I always loved painting. Do you do painting?

[Speaker 2] Sorry to hear that. Painting for fun is a huge stress reliever but sometimes the art classes are not always what you want to work on. Does knitting help to alleviate your stress?

[Speaker 1] Yes knitting is one hobby I will never give up! It is so soothing, and as a bonus you get to make useful articles of clothing for very cheap. I love knitting with wool as it is a great material for cold weather. Do you have any hobbies that act as a stress reliver?

[Speaker 2] Yes, the painting for fun and also cooking are both big stress relievers. I really enjoy creating new recipes from scratch as well as baking.

[Speaker 1] That's cool. When you finish your engineering and art classes, do you hope to find employment in one of those fields? Would you prefer to work in the art world of the engineering world? If you had the choice.

[Speaker 2] I'll probably lean more toward the civil engineering side because I don't want to be a starving artist. By the way, how is your cat doing?

[Speaker 1] Ah yes that makes sense. It makes planning for retirement much easier I would guess with a steady income. I am not sure how my cat is doing I left it with my girl friend and havent seen it in over a month! I assume it is doing well though as I havent heard any bad news from my girl friend. Maybe one day I can meet your dogs and you can meet my cat. How many semesters do you have left of engineering classes until you get you diploma or degree?

[Speaker 2] A month?!? Wow! I don't have any pets but maybe one day I'll get one after graduating. I have one semester left and will graduate with my BS in civil engineering. I am hoping to move to Chicago to work with a firm I've been interviewing with, although not sure I want to live in that big of a city. It would be a great opportunity though.

[Speaker 1] Yes that sure does sound like a great career path. I bet the salary is quite reasonable too. Do you think you will miss the dorm life though?!

[Speaker 2] No, I don't think I'll miss it. I'm ready to get going and start making some money and building my career and then hopefully start a family in the next 5-7 years.

I work in an engineering office in finance. I work a lot

I love ice cream. My favorite hobby is knitting.  I love painting. I prefer wool.

I have a cat, but it lives with my girlfriend.

I don't have a pet. I live in a dorm. I am an civil engineering student. It is one semester until I graduate with civil engineering.  I take art class.

I like cooking, painting, baking. I love planning things.

I want to end up in the civil engineering field. I want to live in Chicago for work.

I want to start a family.

[Speaker 1] I hope my cat is doing well, and I can't wait to be done with work for the day.

[Speaker 2] Same here. I'm looking forward to the end of my day. I am baking a triple chocolate layer cake...may just have to eat that for dinner!

[Speaker 1] wow that sounds lush, what inspired you to cook that after work?

[Speaker 2] Well the dorm is pretty much empty this week as a lot of students have opted to finish classes remotely this year, so the common kitchen is not in use and I have some ingredients that are going to expire and go bad in the next month, so it's time to bake!

[Speaker 1] I feel you, i would take advanatage of all the emtpy spaces myself. why are people wanting to finish classes remotely instead of in person? when i was in college remote at home classes weren't an option.

[Speaker 2] The university here is piloting a remote learning program. We're a reasearch institution, so there's a high motivation to participate in programs like this because the university is able to collect money for participating. They're actually incentivizing students to learn remotely by refunding a prorated amount of their room and board costs. I personally love the smaller class sizes, so I'm not complaining!

[Speaker 1] as a student in the past small size classes really help you connect with the teachers and excel. it also made it easier if you choose to use teachers as any sort of reference for them to remember you easier

[Speaker 2] Oh my goodness, yes! I have built such a wonderful relationship with my teachers and advisors over the past few months. It's been phenomenal. Does it work similarly for you in the work force? Are you able to cultivate close relationships with your managers and the leadership team at your company?

I am a teacher. I live in Canada.  My parents live in Japan. I don't see my family often. I have an uncle who lives in Montana.

[Speaker 1] I miss my hometown and the pizza so bad, what's your favorite food from growing up?

[Speaker 2] hm, i'd definitely have to say waffles! I can always eat them, any time of the day. what about you?

[Speaker 1] Pizza is definitely up there but in terms of breakfast food I was always more for pancakes myself.

[Speaker 2] pancakes are great too. though, waffles can be savory too! then you can eat them at dinner time. like chicken and waffles, for example

[Speaker 1] I've never had that combo though I hear it's pretty popular. I wouldn't think Chicken and something sweet like syrup would go well together.

[Speaker 2] it could, but people don't usually put syrup. they put a mustard sauce on top. at least, they do where i'm from

[Speaker 1] Mustard on waffles? There's another food combo I haven't heard of. I can't say I'm too adventurous when it comes to food, I mostly stick to what I know I like.

[Speaker 2] haha it's not for everyone. it's good to try different things though, as long as it sits okay with your stomach

[Speaker 1] I'm probably missing out on a few tasty items by being overly picky. As a kid I was very particular about what I ate and I still haven't shaken that off yet. If a food item looks weird to me it makes me want to eat it less.

[Speaker 2] you're definitely not alone on that one, though. lots of people are super picky with their food. i've never been too picky though. i think trying new foods is fun!

[Speaker 1] I'm sure it is, it's just hard to get over myself. I'm sure there's food out there that could easily become my favorite if I just gave it a chance. One group of food I don't mind trying new kinds of is bread, I really like bread for some reason.

[Speaker 2] fresh baked bread is hard to beat. i know a great bakery near my house we should go to sometime!


I love spending my free time in the sun with a good novel.

I like bears.

The ocean is a great place to have fun.

I don't eat meat.

I am making a place similar to jamba juice.

I like to be outside.
I wish my folks were here.
I like to be in charge.
My mom likes me to live with her.
Actually, I'm still with my parents.

[Speaker 1] Hello how are you today?

[Speaker 2] I am good, nighttime here.

[Speaker 1] Its daytime for me, that is why I'm heading to the beach

[Speaker 2] I love the beach, I'm 34 and do not live near my family.

[Speaker 1] That is sad, I know someone like that.

[Speaker 2] I could move closer to home, I miss my family

[Speaker 1] I would if I were you. If not you can come start a juicing bar

[Speaker 2] I am a general of an oris army! How about you?

[Speaker 1] I am just a lazy surfer

[Speaker 2] I lay around in the forest on the weekends

[Speaker 1] That's very random you know

[Speaker 2] I know, not much else to do around here.

[Speaker 1] Sounds very boring, you should try surfing

[Speaker 2] I am very afraid of sharks. Have you seen any?

[Speaker 1] I've and I try not to bite them, I am vegan

[Speaker 2] I am thinking about doing a vegan lifestyle

I am one of two boys in my family.

[Speaker 1] Hi. How are you doing.

[Speaker 2] I am good how about you?

[Speaker 1] In six months I will be married. Yikes!

[Speaker 2] That's exciting! Need a wedding cake? I bake them!

[Speaker 1] Yes, my sweet tooth will thank you.

[Speaker 2] Ll! I just made a cake for my bothers wedding, he's my twin!

[Speaker 1] I'm the middle child out of 3. I'm the only one with a mercedes.

[Speaker 2] Nice! Do you have any hobbies?

[Speaker 1] Being awesome. How about you?

[Speaker 2] I love to read especially david copperfield, and tap dancing.

[Speaker 1] I like to color and I wear a helmet.

[Speaker 2] Coloring is fun! I have even won some competitions with tap dancing.

[Speaker 1] Tap dancing seems fun. I don't dance.

[Speaker 2] It is fun! I like a lot of forms of dance.

[Speaker 1] I like exotic dancers mostly.

[Speaker 2] Ll! Well to each their own!

I am engaged. My wedding is in six months. I need a wedding cake. I have a sweet tooth.

I am the second child out of three. I own a Mercedes.

I like to color.I wear a helmet.

I don't dance. I like exotic dancers.

I bake cakes. I made a cake for my twin brother's wedding.

I love reading. I like David Copperfield. I tap dance. I like many forms of dance.

[Speaker 1] I know what kind  of cake I would like for my wedding.

[Speaker 2] Nice! What kind of cake is it?

[Speaker 1] I want to have a Swiss Cake Roll Cake with actual Swiss Cake Rolls in the center. I'll call it Cake-ception!

[Speaker 2] Ooh I like the name lol. What made you decide on a Swiss Cake Roll as your main ingredient?

[Speaker 1] They are my favorite treat as a child.  I think my parents will like seeing them in the wedding cake.  Do you think it's a good idea?

[Speaker 2] I think it's a great idea. Your combining your favorite treat with an important event in your life - your wedding. By the way, what do you mean by "your parents like seeing them in the wedding cake?"

[Speaker 1] Oh, that was confusing of me to say.  I think my parents will like seeing tiny swiss cake rolls inside the giant swiss cake roll cake, to remind them of my childhood too.  What was the wedding cake you made like?

[Speaker 2] Oh that makes sense. I agree, I think your parents will enjoy that. I made a 3-layer chocolate mint cake. My brother loved York peppermint patties when he was younger, so I used that as an inspiration. The bottom and top layers are chocolate and the middle layer is mint.

[Speaker 1] That sounds delicious!! I hope he appreciated it!  If you had to make a cake for yourself based on a childhood treat, what would you make?

[Speaker 2] He said it looked and tasted great, so I was glad I picked the right cake. Ooh that's a great question. I've always loved Cadbury's milk chocolate bars, so I would have to incorporate that. I may make a marble cake and combine the bars with some vanilla components. It will probably only be a 2 layer cake because I prefer simplicity.

[Speaker 1] What a wonderful idea for a cake!  And it is simple!  I'm currently reading a romance novel.  What was the last book or genre you read?

[Speaker 2] The last book I read was "Born a Crime" by Trevor Noah. It's an auto-biography about the life of a comedian from South Africa. I would highly recommend it. What romance novel are you currently reading?

I like to color.I wear a helmet.

I don't dance. I like exotic dancers.

I am engaged. My wedding is in six months. I have a sweet tooth. At my wedding I want to have a Swiss Cake Roll Cake with actual Swiss Cake Rolls in the center. I will call my cake Cake-ception. Swiss Cake Rolls were my favorite childhood treat. I think my parents will like my wedding cake to remind them of my childhood. I am reading a romance novel.

I made a cake for my twin brother's wedding. I made a 3-layer chocolate mint cake for my wedding, inspired by my brother's childhood love of York peppermint patties. I have always loved Cadbury's milk chocolate bars. I prefer simplicity.

I just read "Born a Crime" by Trevor Noah.

[Speaker 1] Have you watched Trevor Noah's TV show this week?

[Speaker 2] Unfortunately not. I have been busy learning a new dance as well as experimenting with a new cake.

[Speaker 1] I was not able to see either, that's a shame, I had been hoping you could fill me in. What does your new dance entail? And the new cake for that matter?

[Speaker 2] I'm trying to incorporate some freestyle to my tap dance to see if I can make a fusion of the two. And for the cake, I'm trying to make a Cadbury's milk chocolate cake with the milk chocolate bars inside of them.

[Speaker 1] I can't even imagine what that would look like, any luck there? That cake sounds incredible, maybe I should recruit you for my wedding!

[Speaker 2] It's really hard on the dance part but I think more practice will allow for some success. I would love to come to your wedding, if I can make this work, I'll definitely practice making your Cake-ception Swiss Cake Rolls.

[Speaker 1] They always say practice makes perfect, it's great you have such a unique goal in mind. I wish you luck! I'd provide supplies if you'd like to give it a few test runs before the wedding... I'll take any excuse I can for that cake! I'll try your chocolate creation as well!

[Speaker 2] Thanks a lot! I would love to help with your wedding in anyway. That aside what kind of romance story are you reading at the moment? Something you wish to happen during your wedding?

[Speaker 1] No problem! I'm so excited for the wedding, the cake, just everything! As for my novel, let's just say there's some things I'd like to happen both during and after the wedding, in it. I'll leave it to your imagination!

[Speaker 2] I don't have kids yet. I did attend my book club today though.

[Speaker 1] She has blonde hair just like me awesome, how did that go?

[Speaker 2] Blonde is great. I take my mom with me as she's like my best friend.

[Speaker 1] Www, that is so sweet. My mother lifts weights for a hobby lol!

[Speaker 2] Strong mom I bet. Does your family have any pets?

[Speaker 1] Yes, we have two cats and a bird? You?

[Speaker 2] I've two cats too. I like cats more then dogs.

[Speaker 1] Awesome, me too. I wish I could have 5 cats lol!

[Speaker 2] Me too but I am glad I've two so they can entertain each other.

I have a daughter.

I have blonde hair.

I have two cats and a bird as pets. I wish I could have more cats.

I do not have children. I attend a book club.

I am best friends with my mom.

I like cats more than dogs. I have two cats. I wish I could have more cats.

[Speaker 1] How was your book club today?

[Speaker 2] It was awesome! We're currently reading the Southern Vampire Mysteries (Sookie Stackhouse).

[Speaker 1] That's great. By the way what are the name of your two cats?

[Speaker 2] Oh, they're Tinky Poo and Moe. How about your two cats?

[Speaker 1] They're named as Bella and Vienna. Are you thinking about adopting more cats in the near future?

[Speaker 2] Those are pretty names. I would love to adopt more but can't really since I'm in an apartment. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I was thinking about adopting a puppy from the nearby shelter within a few months. By the way, why do you prefer cats to dogs?

[Speaker 2] I guess because they're more independent and easier to take care of. That's great that you'll be getting a puppy in a few months. What a menagerie you'll have!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I am pretty excited about it as well. Anyways, how is your mother doing?

[Speaker 2] She's doing great! She's still full of life. How's your daughter doing?

[Speaker 1] She is doing well in her academics as well as in her sports but I wish I could spend more time with my daughter.

[Speaker 2] I'm glad she's doing good. I bet you do wish you could spend more time with her; it's hard to find quality time.

I have blonde hair.

I have two cats named Bella and Vienna and a bird as pets. I wish I could have more cats. I want a puppy.

My daughter goes to school and plays sports. I don't have enough time to spend with her.

I do not have children.

I am best friends with my mom.

I like cats more than dogs. I have two cats named Tinky Poo and Moe. I live in an apartment. I can't adopt more than two cats.

I am in a book club. We are reading the Southern Vampire Mysteries.

I like cats because they are independent and easier to take care of. I think quality time is hard to come across.

[Speaker 1] How was The Southern Vampire Mysteries book that you read for your book club?

[Speaker 2] The books were pretty good, but not anything that I would list as my favorite.  How are your cats doing?

[Speaker 1] They have been really fussy with each other lately. Something must have happened when I wasn't home. I hope they make up. How about yours?

[Speaker 2] My cats are doing well; I love watching them interact with one another.  They are usually so cuddly with each other...although they tend to get a bit energetic during the middle of the night, which is a pain.

[Speaker 1] I hate it when my cats decide to play around the house when I am trying to sleep. No respect sometimes. And then they have the nerve to sleep all day. LOL.

[Speaker 2] Haha I know!  I think that if reincarnation is real, I hope to come back as a cat one day.  They have the life!  Does your daughter enjoy having the cats around?

[Speaker 1] She like our cats but the birds are her babies. I let her keep them in her room.

[Speaker 2] Do the birds make a lot of noise?

[Speaker 1] They mostly whistle and make little chattering sounds. Pleasant noises for the most part. Not like a loud parrot.

[Speaker 2] What a relief!  I've always been a bit apprehensive about even considering getting a bird for a pet because I was worried about the noise factor...that, and thinking that they may be a bit messy.

[Speaker 1] These are cockatiels. In my opinion they are the best bird. Not too messy, noisy, or expensive and they are very fun affectionate birds.

[Speaker 2] Do you guys take the birds out of their cage and let them sit on your shoulders?  Are you able to play with them?

[Speaker 1] I read something interesting on reddit that I think you will enjoy.

[Speaker 2] Oh really? What was it?

[Speaker 1] It was a topic on Physics

[Speaker 2] Oh, my favorite college course! You're right. Maybe you can send me the link?

[Speaker 1] It was a topic on electrostatics https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics/comments/ap4ncc/a_problem_based_on_electrostatic_equilibrium/

[Speaker 2] That's so nice of you! It will definitely help me on what we're currently studying. So did you post anything to Reddit lately?

[Speaker 1] I asked my son if he would like to try going fishing sometime, and he says he would love to! Maybe you could share some tips with us?

[Speaker 2] has your son ever gone fishing? i know you haven't.

[Speaker 1] No, not really. He went with his friends one time but all they had was a stick and some string. Don't think they got very far with that.

[Speaker 2] oh wow yeah a stick and strings is not the best way to go about it. what kind of budget are you looking at?

[Speaker 1] I have about 200 to spend. I thinking we could find some cheap supplies at Walmart. Even garage sales.

[Speaker 2] I would go with with something online because you will get discounts, codes for free shipping etc it's easier to do things that way. are you against buying equipment online?

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah. That's a great idea. Maybe if you have time you could send a few product links of what you think I need.

[Speaker 2] I will, how many different stores do you want to look at? i don't want to overwhelm you it being your first time.

[Speaker 1] Which ever stores you think I should look at first. I think two or three would be a good start. My son is gonna be so excited!

[Speaker 2] next question is do you want links to boats first or the fishing equipment first?

[Speaker 1] I think I will start with the fishing equipment because I don't know if this whole thing is going to stick. My son may think he likes something one day and the next he's bored.

[Speaker 2] oh yeah i feel you so we'll start out with a basic set of materials and then if he actually likes it we'll be able to give you some additional things!

I am into photography.

I love taking pictures of my 4 dogs.
I have a sleeve of tattoos.
I have a husband.

[Speaker 1] How are your dogs? Do they still eat your diner?

[Speaker 2] My dogs are doing well. They love to beg at the table for leftovers. Such trouble makers.

[Speaker 1] I bet. My neighbor has a dog and they are always going to our window begging for food. I don't like pets eating all my food, so until I am ready to share I will not get one. How long have you had your 4 dogs?

[Speaker 2] For just 4 or 5 years. Dogs are a lot of work. Maybe you'll work with one in the police academy?

[Speaker 1] I think we might have to. They have not asked me if I want to work with k9s yet, but maybe I should say yes to learn how to take care of them. I do want to take lots of pictures of them though.

[Speaker 2] I think that would be a good learning opportunity. It would be nice to see your experience there through photos. What type of camera do you use?

[Speaker 1] I work with a Canon camera. It has done me good these last few years. I dropped it once, and fear snapping pictures of the police dogs running around will cause me to drop it again. What do you use to take pictures of your dogs?

[Speaker 2] I use a camera I bought from Toysrus. My husband and I use it to take photos of my tattoo sleeve.

[Speaker 1] I remember ToyRUs. They closed the one we had here about 2 years ago, but I read online that they are bringing it back. They have a new website and everything. I did not know they sold cameras there. I ordered mine online. Did you create an album for your tattoo pictures?

[Speaker 2] Yes Toysrus is amazing. I make several albums and post them online. It usually generates quite the income.

[Speaker 1] I bet! I found a few online places that pay you per views so I can only imagine the love you get for your tattoos. I would love to take pictures of tattoos.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a good idea. You can take pictures of my tattoos while I hold your bowie knife.

I just started the police academy.

I have no pets.

I am into photography. I have a Canon camera I bought online. I dropped my camera once.

I like tattoos.

I love taking pictures of my 4 dogs. I have had my dogs for 4 or 5 years.

I have a sleeve of tattoos.

I have a husband.

I have a camera from Toysrus. I post albums of photos online. I make money from selling photos online.

[Speaker 1] What kind of dogs do you have?

[Speaker 2] I have two german shepards, a pitbull and a scottish terrier. Maybe you should get a dog

[Speaker 1] I've thought about it, I always liked french and english bulldogs.  Do you have any advice on owning dogs or dog photography?

[Speaker 2] Well I understand why you didn't want to get a dog but they're a good companion to have. As far as taking pictures of dogs you just have to keep them distracted long enough for them to not run off. The same could apply to taking care of dogs. You just have to keep them happy, well fed, and take them outside for a walk every once in a while. Oh and don't forget their shots.

[Speaker 1] That's good advice.  Maybe I will get a dog.  What kind of dogs do you think take the best pictures?  Golden retrievers seem very photogenic.

[Speaker 2] I would have to agree with you. Any big dog will do really well and their coat is always nice and shiny as long as you get them groomed every couple months.

[Speaker 1] Nice, yes I agree.  Which of your dogs is most photogenic?

[Speaker 2] The german shepards are easily the most photogenic, they love getting their pictures taken.

[Speaker 1] Hmm, cool.  Yes that is an awesome type of dog.  I've been thinking about getting a doberman also.

[Speaker 2] Oh those dogs can be a lot of work but once you train them they'll be your best friend and protect you from anything.

[Speaker 1] True.  Do you just have the dogs or other pets as well?

[Speaker 2] I might get a cat in the future just to mix things up a bit but I'm not sure about getting anymore animals in the short term. I try to avoid my house looking like a zoo lol.

[Speaker 2] A punk band called rancid and step out of my mothers shadow in ballet

[Speaker 1] I have heard of them. I think I know who you are! Right?

[Speaker 2] Well if you know you my mother you might know me

[Speaker 1] I guess not. I like rancid, all right, but sports are better than ballet.

[Speaker 2] I'm glad you don't know my mother

I have been researching options to get a new pet.

I wish I were more creative.
I hate being poor.
I'm very creative.
I do not like working.
I spend a lot of time writing.

[Speaker 1] Hey, how are you? Just got back from a long walk, so I am beat

[Speaker 2] Hi! I am obsessed with pens

[Speaker 1] Me too actually haha. I'm an artist and pen is my favorite medium.

[Speaker 2] I like writing for a long time with my pens!

[Speaker 1] Wow, that is great! What do you write?

[Speaker 2] I am a writer for my local newspaper but I wish I did not work

[Speaker 1] Why do you wish that?

[Speaker 2] Because I don't make enough money there

[Speaker 1] I see. I didn't realize that newspaper journalists are underpaid.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I am thinking about switching careers

[Speaker 1] To what? If I could write, I would try to write for game of thrones.

[Speaker 2] I am thinking about art. Game of thrones is awesome!

[Speaker 1] Oh, wow! I'm a freelance artist, and I can tell you its not easy. Its rewarding.

[Speaker 2] I'm willing to put the extra worl

Pen is my favorite medium.
I'm a freelance artist.

I am obsessed with pens.

[Speaker 1] Have you decided about switching careers already?

[Speaker 2] I think so, looking at maybe freelance art like yourself - how do you find it?

[Speaker 1] Well it took me a while and I do a lot of posting on the internet. IT is not easy either but what would you like to draw what direction? maybe I have some ideas.

[Speaker 2] I'm good with a pen, maybe the ink line style you see. It always looks so sharp. The internet looks like a good place in terms of catching people's eye. Is the money ok?

[Speaker 1] it can be what seems to be in high demand is writing good penmen ship or calligraphy, there is some serious money in it

[Speaker 2] That's the word I was looking for! Calligraphy! Can you afford to pay rent, bills and eat? I've done some features in the paper about the food banks recently, so it's a worry!

[Speaker 1] Well some month are harder then others i am not going to lie to you, but I started making portraits of pets that goes well too, maybe you are in to that too

[Speaker 2] I appreciate the honesty. Maybe it can be a side gig? That sounds interesting! Like caricatures?

[Speaker 1] Yes exactly, if you do both I am sure you would be ok financially, I am glad my boyfriend helps out

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a plan! How is your boyfriend these days? Any plans to tie the knot?

[Speaker 1] no i am no hurry, no need to have a piece of paper in the cabinet works this way too...LOL how about you?

[Speaker 2] True! I guess it's loving someone so much you get the government involved so they can't leave! There's a guy at work I'd like to date. I think he likes me but probably best not to fraternise in the office.

I post a lot of my art on the internet. There is good money in it. Some months are hard to pay rent. I have started to make portraits of pets.

My boyfriend helps out. I am in no hurry to get married.

I like writing. I am a writer for a local newspaper. I don't make enough money. I am thinking about switching careers.

I'm interested in freelance art.

I am good a art with a pen. I am obsessed with pens.

There is a guy at work I would like to date.

[Speaker 1] I just got a job to do 2 pet portraits!

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! Congratulations. What are the pets?

[Speaker 1] One is a labradoodle, and the other is a chihuahua. Very different breeds, and very different sizes, so I'll need to be a little creative with the backgrounds and foreground, but I'm very excited! What's going on with you the last few days?

[Speaker 2] Nothing exciting. I've been writing for the newspaper as usual but it's been a little slow so I've had more time to draw. I've been meaning to ask you about that new pen set you mentioned last time. Could you give me informatin please.

[Speaker 1] Oh, those were actually lemons. Would you believe that one exploded while I was using them and ruined my new blouse?! Definitely not a strong purchase!

[Speaker 2] Oh no! So glad you told me. Were you able to get your money back? Some of those pen sets can be quite expensive!!

[Speaker 1] I know. So unfortunate. I'm working with the customer service folks now. They say they only issue refunds in the form of store credit, but that's not very appealing from my perspective. Why would I purchase another of your products? Just give me my money back directly so I can purchase a product that actually functions appropriately. Not a great look for their brand. We'll see what happens. Have you thought any more about asking that guy out -- the one you work with?

[Speaker 2] Thought about it ... all the time!! Actually worked up the nerve to do it ... not at all. But there is this work camping trip that we've all been talking about so I'm hoping he decided to go and I can get to spend some time with him away from work. Any advice on how to approach him?

[Speaker 1] Hmm...I mean, every guy is a little different. I would just try learn about some of his interests or hobbies and ask some engaging questions to break the ice. Maybe ask if he'll join you for a hike because you are concerned about going alone? They usually like it when you tell them you need their protection! Guys...

[Speaker 2] That's a great idea. I'll definitely try that. I'll let you know how it goes. Speaking of guys ... how's your boyfriend doing?

[Speaker 1] He's good. Not that he'd tell me otherwise. He's a man of few words. We give each other lots of space, which works out great for both of us. We love living together and doing things together, but not to the extent that we need to be inseparable all the time. It's a good balance.

[Speaker 2] How long have you guys been living together?

[Speaker 1] I could make you a veggie sub sometime if you came to the grocery store I work at.

[Speaker 2] That would be great! I will have to stop by. How is your dog doing?

[Speaker 1] Jesse is doing great. We have a vet appointment today, but I don't anticipate any problems.

[Speaker 2] Is it just for a routine check up?

[Speaker 1] Yes, it is routine. I just want to make sure that everything is okay. What about your dogs? How are they doing?

[Speaker 2] They are doing well. They keep me very busy, but I enjoy taking them out. Do you take your dog to any dog parks?

[Speaker 1] No, our family property is about 25 acres so we have plenty of room to roam around.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that is a lot of property. Does your dog ever get lost?

[Speaker 1] No, he has been with us since he was a puppy so he's pretty used to the place by now. We had to be very careful when he was smaller.

[Speaker 2] Are there any wild animals on your property?

[Speaker 1] Yes mostly non threatening animals such as birds and deer. But we do occasionally see bears.

[Speaker 2] That's really cool. How do you keep the bears out of your garbage?

My name is Jed.

I like to fish.

My favorite music is by Hendrix. I have seen Garth Brooks in concert. I dropped out of college. I work at the grocery store and make subs.

I have a Coon Hound named Jesse. I don't take my dog to the park.  I got my dog as a puppy.

I have a 25 acre property. Birds and deer live on my property. I live in an area where bears roam occasionally.

I enjoy fishing.

I like Garth Brooks.

I have three dogs.

[Speaker 1] I just got back from the vet with Jesse. Everything turned out well!

[Speaker 2] That's great to hear! You've had him for so long, how old is he now?

[Speaker 1] He is 6 years old and sometimes I think that I have more feelings to him than my closest family. Probably it doesn't sound good tho. How old are your dogs and why you decided to have three of them?

[Speaker 2] I've had one for a long time. I apodted it many years ago. And then we got one for our daughter when she was young because she insisted on getting a puppy. And then the same thing happened with my son. So now we have three! So why don't you take your dog to the park?

[Speaker 1] Yes that could be foreseen that you will take care of all dogs which were bought for your kids. Jesse is purely home dog. As we have some bears roaming sometimes around my house he is scared to go outside where might are other animals but sometimes I take him to my parents. They have quite big closed rear garden

[Speaker 2] Oh nice. So you've never taken him to a dog park or anything like that? I was thinking maybe we could meet up at this really nice dog park near where I live.

[Speaker 1] I am just scared if he get used to go outside then one day if I leave door opened at home he might run into forest where wild animals are. Only way I can join alone to accompany you.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that's an interesting perspective. So you never take him for walks or anything either?

[Speaker 1] No, heh. I have quite big house with a little garden on the roof. And I am working at grocery store just to meet people more and to find a girlfriend who doesn't know I am not so poor.

[Speaker 2] Very interesting. But I'm still intrigued with your dog situation ... If you don't take him for walks, where does he go to the bathroom?

[Speaker 1] I have a green space on the roof about 10 square metres. Anyway let's change the subject. Have you been fishing lately?

[Speaker 2] No I havent had much time lately. And it's been a little cold here. What about you? Have you gone lately?

[Speaker 2] Um, no. They died in an auto accident.

[Speaker 1] My parents were like that when they were in politics

[Speaker 2] I'm the only blue eyed person who hates politics. Where are you?

[Speaker 1] I have brown eyes.. Politics can really take the goodness out of you while you are involved

[Speaker 2] It can, politics killed my father, when I was two.

[Speaker 1] Have you ever tried reading a john grisham book I don't care for them

[Speaker 2] Great. What kinds of food do you like best?

[Speaker 1] Do you have kids? I love pizza so much but really depends on my mood.

[Speaker 2] I love veggie pizza but have no kids.

[Speaker 1] My goodness! I'm going to have to go get some.

I love painting.
I listen to gospel music.
I work and might return to school.
I do care work for the senior.

I am not picky when it comes to food.

I listen to Bruno Mars. I am a high school student.

I am not a fan of the beach and I sleep a lot.

My favorite color is green.

[Speaker 1] How are your grades so far and have you found a job yet?

[Speaker 2] My grades have been doing pretty decent, average a B. I'm still looking for a part time job in the area, do you have any good ideas?

[Speaker 1] The fruit market by my house is hiring. They have favorable hours for higschool students.

[Speaker 2] I'll have to check it out, do you know if they pay well?

[Speaker 1] I thought the sign said $12.50 an hour to start... plus they let you take some food sometimes too

[Speaker 2] I'll see if I can apply online later today! Anything new been happening with you?

[Speaker 1] I've been thinking about going back to school to finish my degree

[Speaker 2] I plan on going to college eventually; What degree were you going for?

[Speaker 1] Supply chain management. What do you think you want to study in college?

[Speaker 2] I'm thinking I want to go into Computer Science or Cyber Security. Just deciding if I should start off with college or go the millitary route for schooling.

[Speaker 1] Oh, those are good options! I hear the military will pay for your degree if you serve for a few years... not a bad idea!

[Speaker 2] Yeah I've talked with a few recruiters and it seems like a good route to go. How many more years do you have to finish your degree?

I work and wanted to return to school. I am studying Supply Chain Mgmt in college.

I do care work for the senior.

I am not picky when it comes to food.

I listen to Bruno Mars.

My favorite color is green.

I am a high school student. I am looking for a job. I plan on going to college. I want to study Computer Sciece or Cyber Security. I might join the military. I have talked to recruiters.

[Speaker 1] Have you talked to any other recruiters about military service and benefits?

[Speaker 2] Not yet. I'm hoping to talk to a few more tomorrow. I've been out looking for a job to get me through till I finish high school. I am excited to see

[Speaker 1] I feel like the military would be great background for cyber security given how much intelligence is in that world. They would probably pay for college, too!

[Speaker 2] That's exactly what I'm hoping! It could be exciting being able to learn the stuff I want to learn, getting paid to do it, and traveling to different parts of the world. At least for a few years. Getting college paid for would be a great bonus! All the real world experience with a degree should help me find a job once I am out of the armed forces.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely. Keep me posted! I've been thinking a lot about going back to school but I feel bad leaving my clients. So much of providing good care is the relationships you build and they would have to start over with someone new. I would miss them too!

[Speaker 2] You should do it! Maybe there is a way to work school around your current job so you can keep the same work schedule. It's definitely important for you and the patients to be in a routine. I mean, it would be exhausting but so rewarding!

[Speaker 1] It's true. It's just that supply chain management is such a different path from the one I'm on. I hate to study so I think I would need to make sure I didn't use my clients as a way to procrastinate.

[Speaker 2] That's true and good that you see how that could hinder you more than you want it to. You definitely need to put yourself first even if it stinks sometimes. I hate studying too but I'm sure one of the armed forces would make sure I have all the time in the world to do that! Haha! Have you started any education on supply chain management or would you be starting fresh?

[Speaker 1] Hahaha yes, I think you'll have enough structure and discipline in the armed forces to keep you focused! I would be starting fresh. To be honest, I was listening to a startup podcast and they had a logistics entrepreneur on and it was just so fascinating to me.

[Speaker 2] Then that's definitely what you should do! If you find a line of work that captivates you like that, then definitely follow that! That gives me a great idea of searching for and following any podcasts that talk about cyber security and others that deal with their experiences in the armed forces. I'm sure that will provide tons of information to help me.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely. The podcast world has opened up so many insights into leadership and trade that were so opaque to so many for so long. I know the spread of information has led to some negative dynamics, but it has also led to so much opportunity and access for groups who traditionally might not have been able to get exposure.

[Speaker 2] Completely agree! Too much information can be a dangerous thing but so can a lack of information. And with all the things that can be learned about on podcasts that I never even knew existed!

[Speaker 2] Do you live in the usa? What will you do in retirement?

[Speaker 1] I want to have a house with a garden and pool

[Speaker 2] That sounds very relaxing. I've a nice home but no garden or pool

I like to work with kids.

[Speaker 1] I really need to lose weight. Having trouble shedding a couple of pounds.

[Speaker 2] I hear you. My love for mexican food does not make it easier.

[Speaker 1] I can relate. Extra weight doesn't look good on a short woman like me.

[Speaker 2] Do you like to dance? Dancing can help one lose weight I think.

[Speaker 1] Yes, but I'm really short sighted. Sometime I wear contacts.

[Speaker 2] Well, just let the guy lead, then you don't even need contacts. Right?

[Speaker 1] You are so wise! Never thought of that.

[Speaker 2] I teach for a living. Hope there is some wisdom somewhere!

[Speaker 1] I work on a farm. I like animals

[Speaker 2] Cool. What is your favorite animal?

[Speaker 1] Kangaroos. There are lots of them in new zealand.

[Speaker 2] New zealand really? Are you sure? I think they have lots of sheep.

[Speaker 1] That too. Have you visited new zealand?

[Speaker 2] Yes I've. Perhaps the kangaroos are in australia.

[Speaker 1] Both countries have lots of animals. But there are too far from america!

[Speaker 2] True. So very far from new hampshire where I grew up. You?

I need to lose weight.

I am a short woman.I wear glasses and I am shore sighted.

I liked Mexican food.

I like to dance.

I am a farmer.

I like kangaroos. I love animals.

I like Mexican food.
I am a teacher.
I grew up in New Hamsphire.

[Speaker 1] I saw some new animals on my farm.

[Speaker 2] That's great! Did some of your animals just have babies? That must be a lot of work, working on a farm like you do.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, one of our cows just had a baby. It's a lot of work handling the pregnancy, but it's fun to see the mother interact with the baby.

[Speaker 2] Absolutely! Baby cows are so cute! It must be a lot of work, but so worth it. Have mom and baby been bonding well? With all those animals around, you must not have very much free time, or do you find time for yourself now and then?

[Speaker 1] They have been bonding well. Yeah, the farm takes up a lot of time, but I've still god free time here and there. I love to dance and do that a lot in my free time. What do you like to do for fun?

[Speaker 2] Glad to hear the cows are doing well. That will be exciting to watch the baby grow up. I guess I don't do too much for fun, but I do love to go to Beto's Mexican Restaurant on Saturday nights. I have been going there every weekend for twenty two years, can you believe that? Best restaurant in New Hampshire in my opinion. Glad you like to dace. I should try it sometime. Where do you go to dance?

[Speaker 1] Wow that sounds really good. I also really like Mexican food so if I ever make it out to New Hampshire, I'll have to check it out. There's a mexican restaurant in our town that also does salsa dancing a few times a week. That's where I've been going to dance.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like great fun! Beto's restaurant will sometimes have a solo musician playing some nights, but never anything like full on Salsa dancing. Have you been salsa dancing for a long time? Please tell me their food is good too!

[Speaker 1] Yeah I've been salsa dancing for a few years. There aren't a lot of options for Mexican food out here, but their food is delicious. My favorite is their beef quesadilla with a strawberry margarita. What is your go to order?

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah, that sounds like a great meal! I love me a good quesadilla and margarita too! My go to is a California burrito with a side of rice and beans and a cold brew. Can't go wrong there. Is salsa dancing difficult? I'm thinking I would like to try it, but I have weak ankles. Any pointers?

[Speaker 1] It's a bit tricky at first, but as you continue to do it, it gets easier and easier. There's lots of great tutorial videos on Youtube that were really helpful to me when I was first starting out.

[Speaker 2] I have to admit, I am a teacher, but sometimes YouTube is a better teacher than I could ever be. So many topics all at your fingertips. I can imagine myself looking at a salsa dancing video between classes, then my students would laugh when they see me practicing dancing in the classroom.

I need to lose weight.

I am a short woman. I wear glasses and I am shore sighted.

I like to dance. I salsa dance.

I am a farmer. I have a farm. I like kangaroos. I love animals.

I like Mexican food. I don't live in New Hampshire.  My favorite order is a beef quesadilla with a strawberry margarita.

I am a teacher.

[Speaker 1] How was school today? Did any of the kids act up?

[Speaker 2] School was good, I did not have any issues with the kids. They seem to be well rested from spring break last week. How was farming today for you?

[Speaker 1] Farming is off to a good start!  I'm getting lots of new seeds planted in order to get ready for the summer.  What grade and subject area do you teach?

[Speaker 2] I teach 8th grade world history. I will say that I am counting down the days until summer vacation, it has been a long year! What are some of the seeds you planted?

[Speaker 1] I bet you're really excited about summer vacation!  Do you have any plans?  I've just planted my tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and carrots.

[Speaker 2] I am hoping to take a trip to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park. I've started to plan the trip but haven't confirmed anything. Have you ever been to either of those places?

[Speaker 1] I have not.  Sadly, I have not been to many national parks, but I definitely want to go.  I spent some time in the Smokey Mountains a few summers ago, and it really made me want to get out and see more of our natural wonders.

[Speaker 2] That is my goal, too. I want to do a lot of exploring, I hope my ankle will be okay for hiking.

[Speaker 1] Have you considered talking to your doctor about your ankle?  Maybe there are some strengthening exercises (s)he could suggest.

[Speaker 2] I have talked to my doctor but haven't gotten anything too helpful. They suggest surgery but I am not sure I want to do that yet. I am going to look into ankle braces.

[Speaker 1] Surgery seems a bit extreme.  An ankle brace sounds like a good idea.  Maybe you should get a second opinion from a different doctor?  Or maybe talk to a physical therapist.

[Speaker 2] That is a great idea, I will try to find a physical therapist that could work with me. Have you had any experiences with physical therapists?

My brothers and sisters are very supportive.

I am a disgruntled worker.

I spend a lot of time at my job because I think feeding people is important.

[Speaker 1] Hi how are you doing tonight?

[Speaker 2] Hi, just relaxing. Pondering my diet. I want to switch to vegetarian

[Speaker 1] I work more than 60 hours a week at a restaurant so I just eat there.

[Speaker 2] I'd never work that much. I'm way too lazy. But love cooked pig

[Speaker 1] My boss is the worst! But when I go out I know how to party hard!

[Speaker 2] I usually have a meat party and eat it all myself

[Speaker 1] My family helps me a lot to balance my work schedule.

[Speaker 2] A healthy diet should include many raw vegetables

[Speaker 1] Yes I agree. Do you know who bob marley is?

[Speaker 2] Does he eat a lot of meat. Like 10 cows

[Speaker 1] No he was a reggae singer. I did not know who he was until yesterday.

[Speaker 2] Well smoked pig, is the best. Ever been to a pig roast?

[Speaker 1] Yes I have I am not really a fan.

[Speaker 2] How much bacon did you eat? You need to eat at least 4 lbs

[Speaker 1] That sounds disgusting! I think it would make me sick.

[Speaker 2] Well you should eat raw okra with it


I like to make short films.

I've traveled overseas many times.

I have been on the tv news six times.

I'm a civil war reenactment participant.

My mother is a well known celebrity.

I sometimes think I'm shallow.

If I want it, I buy it.

I enjoy creating small movies.
I have gone across the ocean.
I am a local celebrity.
I like to dress in old clothes.
My mom is famous.

I judge people on their looks.

I would like to own a pet but it takes responsibility.

My next door neighbors shout so loud I hear everything.

I have a tendency to spend compulsively.

[Speaker 1] Hi how are you doing

[Speaker 2] Good morning, I'm awesome. How are you?

[Speaker 1] I am good what are your hobbies

[Speaker 2] I shop, eavesdrop when my neighbors argue, shop.

[Speaker 1] Interesting do you like to travel?

[Speaker 2] I do. I travel a lot. That is why I do not have a dog, too much commitment.

[Speaker 1] That makes sense I try to travel overseas about once a year

[Speaker 2] Where do you go? I mainly go to florida and hawaii

[Speaker 1] I try and pick a new place each time so I can learn about different cultures

[Speaker 2] I am going to do that one day, when I figure out where I want to go

[Speaker 1] That's the hardest part there are so many great places

[Speaker 2] There sure are. Like california!

[Speaker 1] Yeah! Do you like to watch tv?

[Speaker 2] I do. I'm a walking dead fan

I have traveled overseas.

I have neighbors.
I do not have a dog.
I have been to Florida and Hawaii.

[Speaker 1] I'm trying to decide where to plan my next vacation.

[Speaker 2] Oh really? I've not travelled too much but do know that Hawaii is amazing if you don't mind the high costs that go with it!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that's on my list for sure. I also want to go to Portugal and Argentina. Where in Hawaii have you been?

[Speaker 2] It's pretty cliche but Honolulu, haha. Where in Portugal would you like to visit?

[Speaker 1] Lisboa, Porto, Sintra and Madiera. Everywhere I guess. I love the Mediterranean in general. My favorite places I've been are Italy and Greece. Do you plan on taking any vacations soon?

[Speaker 2] At the moment, no. I don't have any pets to worry about or anything but I do have quite a wide range of plants that would suffer if I left for too long, I just don't trust my neighbours to give them the care they need.

[Speaker 1] Oh man, having bad neighbors is the worst. How long have you lived in that neighborhood?

I have traveled overseas. I'm going on vacation soon. I've never been to Hawaii, Portugal or Argentina. My favorite countries are Italy and Greece.

I have been to Florida and Hawaii.

I have no pets. I have a lot of plants. I don't trust my neighbors.

[Speaker 1] I think I've finally figured out where I'm going for my vacation.

[Speaker 2] That's exciting. Which country have you decided on?

[Speaker 1] I am going to Hawaii. What are the best places to see there since you've been there?

[Speaker 2] Honolulu is definitely one of the best cities to visit. There is something for everybody, and nothing beats the beaches. I went to the zoo with my kids and they really enjoyed seeing all the animals. Is there any sights you're excited for?

[Speaker 1] I am excited to see the scenery for one of the walking trails I plan to do. The beaches are a must on my list. What was your favorite part?

[Speaker 2] It was nice to relax on the beach and read a book while my children were playing in the waves. Everyone was very warm and welcoming at the beach restaurants. What are you looking for in a beach? There's lots of good surfing areas if you're interested in that too.

[Speaker 1] That sounds very relaxing! I am looking forward to snorkeling.

[Speaker 2] I have always wanted to snorkel but am hesitant since I am not a good swimmer. Do you have any tips?

[Speaker 1] As a beginner, I would advice you to use defogging gel, take deep focused breaths to relax, and submerge yourself a little bit each time deeper until you are comfortable and relaxed.

[Speaker 2] That sounds easy to do. I would like to do it as a family so I am not alone when I try. Where is the best place that you have gone snorkeling?

[Speaker 1] Having a buddy also helps. Experiencing it with your family would be amazing! The best place was the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It had such beautiful sea life.

[Speaker 2] I have always wanted to visit Australia. There are so many fun mystery stories in the outback. I would love to do a trip through the country one time. I want to visit the Great Barrier Reef before it is too late. What cities did you visit?

[Speaker 2] What are you watching? Mine love action movies.

[Speaker 1] It has songs and dancing and tiny dolls with colorful hair.

[Speaker 2] Sounds interesting. I've teen boys, they like explosions.

[Speaker 1] Kids shows are hard for me to watch with their pop songs. Metal is more my style.

[Speaker 2] I hear you, I am a metal head as well.

[Speaker 1] What else are you into?

[Speaker 2] I love social media and animals.

[Speaker 1] I love animals too but I am allergic to everything.

[Speaker 2] That is horrible, have you tried fish?

[Speaker 1] Yet another thing I'm allergic to!

[Speaker 2] Really? Even as a pet?

[Speaker 1] I've not tried a pet fish. I should.

[Speaker 2] You really should. My kids want horses.

I like heavy metal.

I like social media.

[Speaker 1] Have you watched any new action movies with your sons in the past few days?

[Speaker 2] No, we haven't been to the movies in a while. Can you recommend any?

[Speaker 1] I really like Arnold Swarzenegger movies, so I would recommend any of his action movies. Do you have any horses?

[Speaker 2] We don't own any but we go to the stables for riding quite often. We also visit rodeos.

[Speaker 1] Have you ever competed in a rodeo?

[Speaker 2] No, I'm too scared to do that. It takes incredible skill and coordination.

[Speaker 1] Yes, those are probably best watched from the audience. How are your sons doing?

[Speaker 2] They are doing well. I have one who is a sophomore and the other is a senior this year. He's been accepted to Yale.

[Speaker 1] That is great news! Did he get a scholarship?

[Speaker 2] Yes he got several scholarships but we will still have to pay a sizable amount. It will be worth it though. You have to invest in your children.

[Speaker 1] That is true. New Haven should be fun for him. Have you visted the campus yet?

[Speaker 2] Yes, we live one state over in upstate New York so he won't be too far away.

I have a daughter.

I am a fan of Arnold Swarzenegger.

My kids like action movies. I have not been to the movies lately.

My sons are teenagers. One son is a sophomore and one is a senior who has been accepted to Yale. The son's scholarship will not fully cover the cost of Yale.

[Speaker 1] Does your son know what he will major in?

[Speaker 2] My son wants to major in Space Engineering. He wants to work for NASA afterwards and help explore our solar system. He is always getting in fights with my younger son about whether space exploration is worth it.

[Speaker 1] I would think it will be interesting to major in space engineering.  That reminds me of Arnold movie in Total Recall.

[Speaker 2] I remember that movie. I should show it to both my sons, I think they would enjoy watching old cinema. We always cuddle up on the couch with our maltese Coco and have family movie night every Saturday. Who do you watch movies with mostly?

[Speaker 1] I watch with my daughter a lot but she's still young.  She like the Disney princesses.  She always said no boy movies.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like the opposite of how my boys were when they were young. Only Cars and Transformers. What does she want to be when she grows up?

[Speaker 1] Princess of course.  I think she'll grow out of it soon when she turns into a teen.  She may want to be something else by that time.

[Speaker 2] Most likely. Although I do not envy you going through the teen phase. It is quite a handful. I never get any free time anymore, and the responsibility for the animals are completely up to me.

[Speaker 1] Now you make me worry.  At least I only have one to deal with compared to you having two teen at the same time.

[Speaker 2] It's very much worth it though. I would do anything to help my sons. I know that they love each other as well, even if they won't admit it. The younger one recently got a part time job after school.

[Speaker 1] Really, where he work at?  Does he enjoy it?

[Speaker 2] He is helping out at a local convenience store. I know that he would much prefer having his time to himself but he is really enjoying earning money and being able to spend it on himself, instead of having to ask us all the time!
