I am a nail technician and I love corvettes.

I am divorced.

[Speaker 1] I have had many clients today.

[Speaker 2] I haven't had many clients today at the salon. It was too icy out still, I think. Who was coming into your place more today? People getting nails done, or people wanting their hair done?

[Speaker 1] It was mostly people wanting to get their hair done. Is your nail salon usually busy when the weather is nice?

[Speaker 2] I see. Yes, we get very busy when the weather is nice and people are out and about. We get a lot of people who come to this area to go shopping or to the restaurants. How long have you been a stylist and nail technician?

[Speaker 1] I've been a hair stylist and nail technician for 12 years. How long have you been a nail technician?

[Speaker 2] I have been a nail technician for 9 years. I really like the job and the money. I really like all the different people I get to meet, as well as talking to the "regulars." How is your spouse and family doing? What have they been up to lately?

[Speaker 1] That's awesome! I also love meeting different people that come into the salon. How is your spouse doing? I have been searching for a new corvette to buy. I love corvettes!

[Speaker 1] I just found a new corvette that I'm planning on picking up next weekend!

[Speaker 2] That sounds great! You know those are my favorite car! What color is it?

[Speaker 1] A classic red. I can't wait, they're so impressive now they went mid engine. I'm taking it to a local cars and coffee this weekend, you should come see it!

[Speaker 2] Oh wow! That's such a beautiful car. Driving it must be a real pleasure. I'll definitely make it out there to check it out. Fortunatley I happen to have this weekend off from work. Have you gotten the car checked out to make sure there's no surprises?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I'm getting it from a dealer. It has about 4K miles on it. Someone bought it and traded it back in for something else. It was a great deal.

[Speaker 2] Cool! That's really amazing. I'd love to get such a lucky find some time soon. I can't remember at all the last time something so exceptional happened to me. It feels like all I do is work.

[Speaker 1] It wasn't too hard, I bet you could find one too. Has work been rough ?

[Speaker 2] It's been quite stressful lately. I have so many customers so I just never have any free time. I guess that's a good problem to have though.

[Speaker 1] Do you own your business?

[Speaker 2] No, I just work as a nail tech in a salon. I've thought about branching out and doing stuff on my own but I'd need to get some sort of facility set up. I don't want to always have to travel to my customers.

[Speaker 1] Yeah it'd be nice to have them come to you. That is tricky though. Nice to have the work, but also it'd be nice to have more time off. I was thinking about starting a business myself actually. We could team up.

[Speaker 2] I'd love that! Having a partner is great. It would mean that I could actually take some time off without causing the business to crash.

[Speaker 1] I finished my book, It was very suspenseful.  If your interested, you can borrow it.

[Speaker 2] What is the book about?

[Speaker 1] It is about the life of David Beckham. I didn't expect it to be so suspenseful, but it really kept you on your feet, with a lot of twists and turns about his life.

[Speaker 2] David Beckham, is that the soccer guy?

[Speaker 1] Yes! I think you might really like it because of your love of soccer.

[Speaker 2] that sounds great. I'd love to borrow it sometime. Maybe we can meetup for a bite to eat and I can get the book then?

[Speaker 1] Yes absolutely! That sounds fantastic. I know that you like to eat healthy, would you prefer a lunch date of maybe salads, or would you like to go to a seafood restaurant for dinner?

[Speaker 2] Salad lunch sounds wonderful right about now. maybe we can find somewhere that has salads and tacos.

[Speaker 1] Yes! I absolutely love tacos. That sounds like a great idea. Maybe some kind of Mexican lunch spot. I would love to have some Guacamole too! Avocados are really healthy, right?

[Speaker 2] They are! they have lots of good healthy fats! Mexican sounds great. What day should we go?

[Speaker 1] Sounds perfect! Maybe tomorrow, if you are free?

[Speaker 2] Tomorrow works for me. What time?

I like tacos.

I like to dance.

I like to read. I like suspense and plot twists.

I work out.  I want to be the best. I only eat healthy foods.

I use instagram.

I love soccer. I got a scholarship for soccer.

I am interested in books.

[Speaker 1] I just read the craziest thing in my book.

[Speaker 2] What was the twist? I started a new book recently, you might enjoy it. It's a psychological thriller.

[Speaker 1] The twist was that the murder was his own mother! i love thriller. who's the author?

[Speaker 2] Wow! That was unexpected I bet. It's called When The Stars Go Dark by Paula McClain. The atmosphere is fantastic. Do you have a favorite thriller novel?

[Speaker 1] I love Steven King books!  They are so exciting.  I also love his movies.  I have been watching more tv than reading

[Speaker 2] I love his books too! I think one of my favorites was The Stand and The Mist. I love his postapocalyptic/apocalyptic stuff. Do you have a favorite one? I know The Stand was made into a relatively new miniseries and I want to see it.

[Speaker 1] My favorite is 1922! I've read that multiple times.  I try to read to my kids on a daily basis

[Speaker 2] Do they have favorite authors? I know I grew up going to the library weekly so it's always been a big thing in my life.

[Speaker 1] They are only 3 and 4; so Dr. Seus is always a great choice. We receive a lot of books as gifts

[Speaker 2] You can't go wrong with those. I know my favorite at that age were Curious George and Henry and Mudge. I haven't seen the Henry and Mudge books in ages. They were about a boy and his giant dog.

[Speaker 1] Pretty soon they'll upgrade to Harry Potter! I'm a mom and still love those movies!

[Speaker 2] Those are such a right of passage for kids. I know I grew up with them and I think they're exciting still. A comforting reread especially on the rainy day. I still prefer the books to the movies because the world gets fleshed out more.

My newly bought laptop has a bum battery.

I live on the third floor in an apartment.

I like to cook.

I've two roomates.

I have two dogs.

I'm studying the humanities.

I live in the sky.
The kitchen is my domain.
A few people share my flat.
I'm an animal lover.

[Speaker 1] Hello! I am in college. Are you?

[Speaker 2] I need ideas I need to buy groceries

[Speaker 1] I do not think I can help. The battery on this new laptop is not good.

[Speaker 2] I love to cook hope it does not disconnect

[Speaker 1] I don't have time to cook. My philosophy and history classes take up all my time.

[Speaker 2] Yes I do wish there were more restaurants around

[Speaker 1] I see them all the time on my way to school. I ride my bike.

[Speaker 2] I have to always climb the stairs I live on the third floor

[Speaker 1] Whew, that is rough. Sorry to hear it. Thankfully the school is only a mile from me.

[Speaker 2] I'm losing a lot of weight my legs look nice

[Speaker 1] Nice! Exercise is a great tool for weight loss. I like to write short stories.

[Speaker 2] I also have a lot of roommates it is stressful

[Speaker 1] I bet. I use a prompting app to write my stories in my document tab.

[Speaker 2] Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 1] No. I am too busy, unfortunately. Do you?

[Speaker 2] Yes they're a lo of work

I am in college.
I have a bike.
I live a mile from school.
I like to write short stories.
I do not have any pets.

I love to cook.

I live on the third floor of my building with a lot of roommates.

I am losing weight.

I have pets.

[Speaker 1] I finished writing a short story recently.

[Speaker 2] That's wonderful! What did you write about? I can't wait to read it.

[Speaker 1] I'm writing a story about a chef that needs exotic ingredients from different planets to satisfy an intergalactic warlord's appetite. Would you be interested in reading it?

[Speaker 2] That sounds interesting! I would love to read your input on cooking mixed with scientific fiction. I write as well but mainly about travel. I share a place with so many people so I can save money to travel more.

[Speaker 1] That's really smart - I wish I had the willpower to stay with other people, but I just prefer to live alone. Do you have any particular travel spots in mind?

[Speaker 2] I would love to visit Iran. Although lots of negative things are thrown at Iran by the US government, hearing those who have been to Iran say that Iran has the kindest people in the world. One lady got lost during her travels and the locals helped her find her way back!

[Speaker 1] That's pretty amazing. I can only imagine what she was going through, being lost in a foreign country and all. I've only traveled around the USA. Have you ever had an experience like that lady's while travelling?

[Speaker 2] Fortunately not. With a smartphone these days, I can always find my way back when I do get lost. I only starting visiting foreign countries after graduating from college and earning money. It's good to save up now while in college to travel or buy a home in the future.

[Speaker 1] That makes sense. What do you do with your pets when you're away on your travels? My older brother has a pet-sitter, but that can get pretty expensive.

[Speaker 2] My roommates are wonderful, and they always help me care for my cats while I'm on my travels.

[Speaker 1] That's really nice of them. Do you and your roommates every cook Italian food? That's my favorite.

[Speaker 2] Yes, they do! You are always welcome to come by for dinner (make sure you let me know beforehand, so they can prepare Italian food). I live 3 miles away from you and there's bike friendly route from your place to my place.

I do not have any pets.

I like to write short stories. I want to share my writing.

I like living alone.

I have only traveled domestically.

I have an older brother.

I like Italian food.

I love to cook.

I am losing weight.

I enjoy reading.I write about travel. I want to visit Iran. I am open minded to opposing points of view.

I have graduated from college.

I have more than one cat.

I live 3 miles from the other speaker.

[Speaker 1] What is it about Iran that appeals to you?

[Speaker 2] In college, I took a course on middle-east politics and Iran was an interesting subject. Persian culture is extremely rich, but the government is very oppressive. I am interested in the culture that has survived in spite of authoritarianism. Plus, I would love to taste Iranian cuisine in its homeland. There is nothing quite like food in its ability to persuade you to enjoy culture.

[Speaker 1] I do love trying new foods. It's honestly somewhere I have never considered travelling too. When do you think you will go?

[Speaker 2] I am hoping to go next Spring. It's not the safest place in the world, so my family and roommates are not quite convinced that I should go. So I am still trying to convince them. I am also trying to see how our new administration handles its relationship with Iran. That way I do not enter into any unnecessary risks. Have you ever though about traveling internationally?

[Speaker 1] That makes sense. I would love to travel outside the US but I want to finish college first. I think travelling would also help me write more interesting stories. Have you ever had any bad experiences travelling?

[Speaker 2] Most of my experiences have been positive. I did have one negative experience when I visited Mexico with my friends. The hotel we stayed at was really messy and I got food poisoning, so I couldn't really enjoy the Mexican culture. I think traveling will defiantly help you writer more interesting stories. When i started traveling, my creative juices flowed like never before and I became a travel writer.

[Speaker 1] That sucks. Nothing worse than being ill on vacation! Yeah I really think it would help. When I visited NASA I couldn't wait to write space stories!

[Speaker 2] The imagination is powerful on its own, but add some external inspiration to it and it will explode. Traveling, music, other stories in the forms of books. shows, movies all help inspire my writing. What else inspires your writing?

[Speaker 1] At the moment I have severe writer's block. I think it is because I am stressed studying for exams. Usually I get my inspiration from TV and movies.

[Speaker 2] Seeing that you were inspired by Nasa. I recommend watching the TV Show For All Mankind. It's an alternative history telling of the space race where the USSR reaches the moon first. Despite it sounding like a dystopian tales, its actually very hopeful and inspiring. It may just break you out of your writer's block. But if it doesn't, I would pressure myself if I was you. Exams are important but temporary so you will find your inspiration sooner or later.

[Speaker 1] That sounds really good I will definitely give it a watch. I really enjoyed NASA and I wrote several space and dystopian short stories. I think that is probably my niche

[Speaker 2] Yes, I believe it will be. The scenery and setting is so realistic; it feels like a world we could live in, which makes it better for someone seeking to jump start the imagination. So who would you consider your favorite writer? I like Hunter S. Thompson.

I have beard that's longer.

I really love learning different languages and habe been studying them for years.

I hate my old job.

[Speaker 1] I am a viking who likes to go biking.

[Speaker 2] I am a writer and writing my first book. Before the end of this year.

[Speaker 1] Before the end of the year is a sentence with no verb.

[Speaker 2] Huh, thanks for telling me. I am a translator, and that's my profession.

[Speaker 1] What do you translate? I'm a viking with a viking beard.

[Speaker 2] Or can say a professional translator. But things are taking another toll in my life

[Speaker 1] What things are those of which you speak?

[Speaker 2] I mean me becoming an author, and that's what I'md doing

[Speaker 1] My beard is so so long.

[Speaker 2] I feel like I am not passionate about much after my career ended.

[Speaker 1] You should ride a bike like I do to cheer up and stop writing badly.

[Speaker 2] I mean I do go for morning or evening walks which help.

[Speaker 1] That is wise. I play football with my viking beard flowing from the helmet.

[Speaker 2] Haha awesome! That seems like it gets in the way.

[Speaker 1] No it gives me football powers and I win more.

[Speaker 2] That is something I never heard of before

I am a viking.  I like to go biking.
I have a very long viking beard.
I like to play football.

I am a writer.  I will write my first book before the end of this year.

I am changing careers from translator to author.

I like to go for walks.

[Speaker 1] I was biking to a football game and let my viking beard flow in the wind and it made me think of the conversation we had earlier.

[Speaker 2] That beard is awesome! I don't even have enough hair on my head to flow in the wind.

[Speaker 1] Maybe if I shave my beard I can turn it into a wig for you :D

[Speaker 2] No, you cannot shave the beard off! Where do you bike? When I walk, I like to go out away from everything. Not near cars or other people.

[Speaker 1] I go biking at the trail near my house. I usually go early in the morning so it's not too crowded.

[Speaker 2] That's kind of what I do, but I prefer evening walks. There are woods near where I live.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, sometimes I go in the evening if I'm lazy in the morning. I like going outside when the sun is down so it doesn't get too hot. Is there a good bike trail in the woods near you?

[Speaker 2] No, there isn't. Even if you have a trail bike. Bikers tend to go on the side of the road. Walkers like me have more options.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that's true. Maybe I should try walking sometime. Would you mind if I joined you for some walks next week?

[Speaker 2] No problem, but you'll probably go father and father than me. I'm less athletic. A book nerd.

[Speaker 1] No worries, we can each go our own pace. I'm not that fast of a walker anyways. When are you free next week?

[Speaker 2] I'm free most days because I write from home. No boss to worry about. Tuesday I have a couple appointments though.

I like to play football.

I like going outside.

I like walking. I walk slow.

I am bald.

I like walking in the evenings.

I like reading.

[Speaker 1] I went walking on a new trail.

[Speaker 2] How was it? I am always looking for new trails.

[Speaker 1] I like it) it brings me some harmony in my routine. Where you prefer to walk?

[Speaker 2] I prefer to just walk in my neighborhood because it is close. How about you?

[Speaker 1] I love walking in the forest. How is your writing process? Cannot wait to read your book

[Speaker 2] I'm kind of at a blockage right now. I'm hoping to find some inspiration while I am taking my walks.

[Speaker 1] Oooh, it is a pity, I have to say. However, I guess, may be something bad happened with you??

[Speaker 2] Nothing bad, I just am not sure what direction I want my book to go in.

[Speaker 1] Happy to hear that) Do you still translate something from time to time?

[Speaker 2] I occasionally work as a translator as a side job, but I'm not that passionate about it anymore.

[Speaker 1] Not bad)By the way, recently I have read "Da Vinci code" by Den Braun. What do you think about that book?

[Speaker 2] It is a good book, not my favorite, but it is a classic.


My car is over 20 years old.

My dad was a preacher.

I did not finish college.

My mother was a school music teacher.

My favorite movie is the last of the mohicans.

I sleep 8 hours.
I use the computer all day.
I love hockey.
My mother looks after my grandmother.

My method of transportation is dilapidated.

My father is a godly man.

I dropped out of school.

I learned to play the piano as a child.

I like to relax.

I stay asleep all night.
I'm usually doing something online.
I like to watch sports.
My mom takes care of my grandma.

[Speaker 1] Will you buy me a new car?

[Speaker 2] Why do you want me to buy you a new car?

[Speaker 1] Mine is really old. And you love me

[Speaker 2] I love you? I hardly know you!

[Speaker 1] Oh.. I do not know a lot of things. I didn't finish school.

[Speaker 2] Oh. I am pretty good with computers ; perhaps I can find a new car online

[Speaker 1] We could go to the movies, in my new car.

[Speaker 2] How about a hockey game?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I would go anywhere with you.

[Speaker 2] Aww, you are sweet! I can go, as long as my mother doesn't need me.

[Speaker 1] My mom was a school teacher.

[Speaker 2] She was? Has she passed?

[Speaker 1] She retired. And my father used to be a preacher.

[Speaker 2] Nice. My mother is not able to work because she has to care for my grandmother.

I didn't finish school.
My mom was a retired school teacher.
My dad was a preacher.

I am good with computers.

My mother doesn't work. My mother cares for my grandmother.

[Speaker 1] How is your grandmother doing?

[Speaker 2] She is doing alright, she is better now than she was a couple of weeks back when she was hospitalized.

[Speaker 1] Did your mother have to continue caring for her even while she was in hospital?

[Speaker 2] No, she let the doctors and nurses take care of her while she was in a hospital. My mother normally takes care of her outside of those kind of settings.

[Speaker 1] Was your grandmother seriously ill? Im sure having other people take up the responsibility must have been good for your mother to have a break

[Speaker 2] Yes, her diabetes got really out of control, and she became unconcious. It should be better now that the doctors gave her a new prescription to keep it in check, and my mother can worry less that something similar might happen in the future.

[Speaker 1] That's horrible but it's good that they caught it before her health got much worse. What your mum is doing is very admirable!

[Speaker 2] I definitely agree, my mother might be retired, but it is still a lot of work to take care of someone like my grandma. I hope it doesn't affect her too much in the long run in terms of the stress she experiences, but I think it isn't too bad at the moment.

[Speaker 1] yeah stress isn't good for people especially as they get older but unfortunately thats just part of life I guess. At least my mum got to enjoy her retirement before she passed

[Speaker 2] Thats good, I hope I can definitely enjoy my retirement when the time comes, although I would still like to keep working on computers as a hobby. What about you, what kind of hobbies do you like to do?

[Speaker 1] I usually enjoy reading but recently I haven't had much time for leisure as I am trying to go back to finish my school qualifications!

[Speaker 2] That's good to hear, I like to read as well. Its great that you are trying to finish your school qualifications, it will help in the long run for your career. Do you have any ideas on what kind of job you are interested in?

My mom was a retired school teacher. My mother died.

My dad was a preacher.

I like reading. I am trying to finish high school.

My mother is retired. My mother cares for my grandmother.

My mother takes care of my grandmother who has been sick. My grandmother has diabetes.

I like working on computers. I am good with computers. I like reading.

[Speaker 1] Have you read any good books lately?

[Speaker 2] No, but I am looking for something good to read.  I really want to find a good mystery.  Do you know of any?

[Speaker 1] I really like Michael Crichton's books. They have a lot of intensity and some mystery. Have you read any of his books?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I have.  I am going to look on my book club and see if they have any of his newer ones.  Do you belong to a book club?

[Speaker 1] I don't, do you think I should get involved with one?

[Speaker 2] Well, I had joined mine when they were offering a special and it was a good deal.  After the special is over I still have to order 1 book a month for 1 year.  It seemed like they raised the book prices.  I think you can get them cheaper on Amazon.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I've seen a lot of used books for pretty cheap on Amazon. I usually hit that up or go to the library.

[Speaker 2] My local library is always out of the books I want.  Do you have trouble getting the ones you want?

[Speaker 1] Sometimes. I usually just get in the queue and wait it out. I usually have enough to read, that by the time it is my turn, I'm ready to go.

[Speaker 2] That's good.  Maybe we can share some our books.  We can use media mail and it doesn't cost much to send.  Want to try that?

[Speaker 1] That sounds good. What kind of book would you like me to send first?

[Speaker 2] If you have the latest Michael Crichton book, I'd love to read it.  I, also, like Stephen King.


I am an author because I am jobless.

I want to be an author.

I enjoy writing.

I love science.

Working in outer space would be awesome!.

[Speaker 2] Nice. Maybe you could write my life story.

[Speaker 1] That be great. Glad to have time to write nowadays. I am a professional translator as well.

[Speaker 2] I am like howard on big bang theory but never been to space

[Speaker 1] I love that show.

[Speaker 2] One day I will go to space and be considered an astronaut

[Speaker 1] That would be cool. I could say I know a real astronaut

[Speaker 2] See. And you could say this book is about my female astronaut friend

[Speaker 1] Ahh, yes you are very smart. Great idea.

My favorite clothes that have warm and bright tones.

I'm confused about my sexuality.

I am emotionally confused.

I am a disappointment.

The approval of my family is important to me.

I daydream about being a man.

[Speaker 1] Hi how are you doing?

[Speaker 2] Hey there. What are your thoughts on transgender?

[Speaker 1] I think its ok I guess

[Speaker 2] I just ponder sometimes. What it would be like.

[Speaker 1] Why do you say that?

[Speaker 2] I do not know. I'm not really sure who I'm attracted to I guess

[Speaker 1] What do you do for a living?

[Speaker 2] I am in school. I could not handle thecrejecti n from my parents though

[Speaker 1] What are you going to school for?

[Speaker 2] No I am in high school. Do you understand your feelings?

[Speaker 1] What do you mean by that?

[Speaker 2] I'm just so unsure of mine I guess

I have parents.
I am a high schooler.

[Speaker 1] How was school this week?

[Speaker 2] It was great. Prom is coming up!

[Speaker 1] Really ? Wow ! are you excited. Do you have a date ?

[Speaker 2] I am! Yes, I am taking this girl Julia. She is awesome!

[Speaker 1] Well have fun and do not do anything too crazy. You would not want your parents to get mad at you. lol. Where is it going to take place ?

[Speaker 2] Well Adam R. is having an after party and I think we are going stay over there. That way my parents aren't waiting up for me. Its just at our school. Did you go to prom?

[Speaker 1] Okay, well at least you have a plan.. I did , it took place in Disneyland and even though I went on my own I had a blast. Have you been to Disneyland ?

[Speaker 2] You went by yourself?! Wow that is courageous. I don't think I would go if it wasn't for Julia. I went when I was kid.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I was suppose to go with a girlfriend at the time but we broke up the day before prom. It sucked but I went anyway. Had a blast. . So do you plan on going to Disneyland again ? I am sure your parents would like to.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, I am sorry to hear that. Well I am glad you went and had a good time. No, I can't stand them. I am going to Brown next year, I can't wait to get out of here.

[Speaker 1] Nice, you got into brown. Congrats! I hear ya, sometimes we got to fly from the nest and make our own lives. I am sure your parents would understand

[Speaker 2] Yeah I did well in school, I am excited to start the next part of my life. Julia got in there too, so maybe we will live together.

I went alone to prom, but it was at Disneyland and I had fun anyways.

I broke up with my girlfriend the day before the prom.

I am a high schooler.

I will be attending prom with a girl named Julia. I would be nervous to go to prom without a date.

I will stay the night at someone else's house after prom, named Adam. The prom is at my school.

I went to Disneyland as a child.

I will be going to college at Brown next year. I do not get along with my parents. My prom date, Julia, also got into Brown.

[Speaker 1] I just read an interesting article about Brown's campus, it looks like you'll have a great time there.

[Speaker 2] It is a really nice campus and I cant wait I am sure it will be great!

[Speaker 1] What field will you be studying for at Brown University?

[Speaker 2] I am going to be studying engineering at Brown!

[Speaker 1] That's amazing! Was anyone in your family an engineer? My dad is an electrical engineer.

[Speaker 2] That is really cool and my parents are in business but I want to do electrical too!

[Speaker 1] Did Adam or Julia make any mention of their plans after high school. They seem like an ambitious lot.

[Speaker 2] Julia will also go to brown and I am not sure what she is going to study and I am not sure about Adam. But how was you prom at Disney?

[Speaker 1] I well I hope Adam does something with his life after high school. I was alone most of the time but I did not mind it one bit. Isolation is peace for me at this point.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense I feel that as well but when I went to prom I was glad I was with someone being alone can make me anxious

[Speaker 1] Yeah after dealing with all the stress of my previous relationship and the drama of my parents forcing me to take a certain career path I will take every chance I get to be alone.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense why did you break up with your girlfriend?


I think recycling is important.
I like to be outdoors.
I am a student.
I am from california.

My girlfriend tells me she's going to leave me almost every day.

I enjoy john gresham movies, but not his books.

My parents used to work in politics, until they discovered the goodness within themselves.

I'm a really, really good guitar player.

I don't like wearing pants when I don't have to.

I care about the environment.
I enjoy being in nature.
I study in college.
I lived on teh west coast.

My significant other is always threatening to break up with me.

I like film but not novels.

After spending years as politicians, my mom and dad couldn't stomach it anymore.

I have been practicing music for many years.

I find clothes restricting.

[Speaker 1] Hey there how are you doing?

[Speaker 2] I'm ok and how are you today

[Speaker 1] I'm doing ok. Just studying

[Speaker 2] I think my gf is going to leave me

[Speaker 1] Oh no. Why what happened? Where are you from?

[Speaker 2] I think she found out I am bisexual.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow. Why would that bother her? Do you recycle btw?

[Speaker 2] I love playing the guitar do u play anything

[Speaker 1] Not really. I love being outside though. California is great for the outdoor

[Speaker 2] Nice I love the outside too but I hate wearing pants

[Speaker 1] Haha. That is odd. Do you go to school? I'm currently a full time student

[Speaker 2] No not in school I love to read gresham books without pants

[Speaker 1] Ahahah wtf man. That's weird

[Speaker 2] Ll well I guess I just hate pants I like to let things breath

I like being outside.
I am a full time student.
I am from california.

My girlfriend is going to leave me.

I am bisexual.

I play guitar.

I like being outside.

I hate wearing pants. I like to let my region breathe.

[Speaker 1] I just got a scholarship to a new school.

[Speaker 2] Very nice! What got you the scholarship for? Something you applyed for?

[Speaker 1] I love being outside, so i started track and field. I ended up getting my scholarship through that. I didn't apply for it, my track teacher did it for me! I was so surprised, but i am so happy! How are you doing with your girlfriend right now?

[Speaker 2] Thats cool. Glad people are looking out for you. The girlfriend thing is a mess. I've come to terms with it. It's all good.

[Speaker 1] Yes, i never expected anyone to do something like that for me. I just feel bad being so happy, knowing what you are going through right now though. I am glad you are coming to terms with it though. Can i ask a personal question, do you think she is going to leave you, because of your sexuality?

[Speaker 2] There is no doubt that has something to do with it. Maybe its for the better and will help me sort things out. You can't make someone happy when your not happy yourself. It's not like my sexuality was a kept from her. Its always been out there.

[Speaker 1] I am really sorry to hear that. It isn't fair when something that is so personal, and something you can't change about yourself, changes how someone think about you. Especially since she already knew it. Maybe she is just insecure. Do you mean that she isn't happy with herself, or you aren't happy with yourself?

[Speaker 2] There is unhappyness on both sides. We will see how it plays out. What are you studying at the moment?

[Speaker 1] I am really sorry to hear that. It will all work out the way it is suppose to, one way or the other. Actually, psychology. I think that is why i am so interested in what is going on in your life right now.

[Speaker 2] Nice! It is an interesting subject. Should keep you interested for a long time! I have alot goin on in that department. Which is why we may need to simplify things in order to sort it out.

[Speaker 1] Yes, i love psychology a lot! The mind interests me a lot. Well, sometimes, doing things for yourself, fixing yourself and really looking inwards is the most important thing. Especially when it comes to brining another person into your life.

[Speaker 2] In an ideal world thats how things would work, but thats not the world we live in! I need to spend some time outside and clear my head. This weather dosn't make it easy. Got a good place to hike?

I am from california.

I am a full time student studying psychology. I just got a new scholarship to a new school.

I love being outside. I participate in track and field. I earned a scholarship for track and field.

I am bisexual.

I play guitar.

I am not in school, and I like to read gresham books without pants. I hate wearing pants.

My girlfriend is leaving me and it has something to do with me being bisexual. I am unhappy.

I want to spend time outside.

[Speaker 1] I figured out which school I'm going to attend for college!

[Speaker 2] Really? Which one did you pick?

[Speaker 1] I'm going to Boston College. I love that city. Will be different being across the country though.

[Speaker 2] I would go back to school, but they pretty much require you to wear pants. I can't have that.

[Speaker 1] Hahah - yes I remember you saying.  Definitely a preventative from doing many things in public I might imagine

[Speaker 2] Now that my girlfriend left, there's no one to tell me I have to wear pants.

[Speaker 1] That works.  Freedom from condemnation can be a freeing experience.  Although, you can't say you "wear the pants" in the family now can you?

[Speaker 2] There is no family now that she is gone. I don't know why she's so obsessed with things like clothing.

[Speaker 1] Well, I mean, not to be harsh, but most places in the world expect some sort of covering if you're going to be out and about.  One might consider it civilized.  I guess you can always just order everything to your home these days though right?

[Speaker 2] I do order a lot from Amazon, including groceries. And I work from home, though it would be nice to get outside once in a while.

[Speaker 1] Need to get out and get your vitamin D or you'll just end up be a pasty white bisexual stuck at home with no friends and nothing to do :)

[Speaker 2] I have windows, so sunlight isn't a problem. At least I'm not one of those weirdos who keep the curtains closed and the room in darkness. Though some of the neighbors don't like it when I stand in front of the windows.


I use a cane to help me get around.

I am blind.

I once drove a car! My friend told me what to do while I drove.

I have a job as a dj at a radio station.

I have many friends.

I like swimming.
I love dogs.
My favorite color is purple.
I own a home.

I need aide walking.
I read in braille.
I learnt to drive.
I'm a disc jockey on air.
I'm a social person.

I enjoy the water.
I'm not a cat person.
I like both red and blue.
I have a house.

[Speaker 1] Hi, how are you doing today

[Speaker 2] Great, I am going swimming today its my favorite thing to do.

[Speaker 1] I wish I could swim, I cant bring my cane with me

[Speaker 2] You can if you want the house I own has a pool, we can invite you over.

[Speaker 1] I'd have to miss my dj shift, my friends would be upset

[Speaker 2] We have a bunch of dogs I sure care a lot about them. Do you like dogs?

[Speaker 1] I do! I should get one to help me get around, a seeing eye dog

[Speaker 2] Bad eye sight? I love the color purple some say it is my favorite

[Speaker 1] I've never seen it. I did drive once, my friend guided me through it

[Speaker 2] Are you blind? Are you using text to speech?

[Speaker 1] I'm, but I learned how to type and how to dj.

[Speaker 2] That's so cool is am so impressed.

[Speaker 1] Thanks for inviting me to your pool

[Speaker 2] Thanks for not being a boring blind person.

I can't swim. I have a cane.
I am a dj.
I have a dog. I am blind.
I drove once.

Swimming is my favorite thing to do.
I have a house with a pool.
I have dogs.
My favorite color is purple.

[Speaker 1] Before this I just ate lunch with my friends from the dj group.

[Speaker 2] Hey, that sounds nice! What did you order? Or did you make lunch yourself?

[Speaker 1] I ordered some enchiladas from a mexican place near my house.

[Speaker 2] Oooh, enchiladas are seriously one of my favorite foods! My mom used to make them as a kid. Do you like red sauce or green sauce?

[Speaker 1] Red sauce is the best! they are one of my favorites too! we should go get some together sometime!

[Speaker 2] If we get together, we'd have to agree to disagree about the enchiladas, because enchiladas verdes is my favorite! I'd be curious to try your local restaurant and see if they compare to mom's recipe.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure your mom's is way better. nothing can compare to homemade. but it's easier for me to order out.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense, I can't imagine how tough it would be to have to get to the restaurant and order in person, or to traverse the kitchen to make in depth receipes like enchiladas without being able to see. Does your dog help you in the kitchen, or only when you're out?

[Speaker 1] You get used to it. my dog is helpful in the kitchen if I drop something. he's able to get it back to me. I couldn't imagine not having him. he's such a big help.

[Speaker 2] What breed of dog is he? When we get together, I'm supposed to ignore him, right? Since he's a support dog? Or do I get to know his name and pet him?

[Speaker 1] He's a golden retriever. When he's working it's best if you don't distract him. but once I give him the command that he's off the clock you are welcome to love on him as much as you'd like. His name is Wiley.

[Speaker 2] Well that sounds great. Thank you for sharing his name with me. He sounds great! Maybe I can bring my dogs to meet him!

I can't swim. I have a cane.

I am a dj. I am in a dj group.

I drove once.

I live near a mexican restaurant. Enchiladas are my favorite food. I eat out a lot.

I am blind. My support dog is a golden retriever. His name is Wiley. He is well trained and when he is working, he cannot be distracted.

My favorite color is purple.

My favorite food is enchilada. It was eaten at home growing up. My favorite enchilada is enchiladas verdes.

I have normal vision.

I have pet dogs. I have never been around a support dog.

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

[Speaker 2] I have Shelties, Shetland Sheepdogs.

[Speaker 1] That's cool! I have never seen one before. Are they playful?

[Speaker 2] Well, they were bred to be sheep herding dogs on the Shetland Islands in Scotland, so they are more of working dog types. They do play with each other, but they're not like labs. Is Wiley playful?

[Speaker 1] He is playful, but he is trained to be a service dog so he knows when not to be.

[Speaker 2] That is very cool. I have never been around a service dog. What kind of things does Wiley help you with?

[Speaker 1] I'm blind, so he helps me navigate.

[Speaker 2] That's great. I've seen service dogs for the blind on TV and when I'm out and about. I always admire how focused the dogs are. I guess it's like with my dogs. If they have a job, like the agility class I take them to, then they are totally focused on that. Does Wiley help you with dj'ing?

[Speaker 1] He just hangs out but I think he likes the music!

[Speaker 2] Yes, my dogs love it when I dance around to music. They jump and bark along with me. That's one thing about Shelties, they bark a lot, and mostly about nothing. I think they're just talking to me. Does Wiley bark a lot?

[Speaker 1] That's a nice way to think about it. No, he doesn't bark too much. Probably because of his training.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that's good. Did Wiley have to go through a lot of training to become a service dog?


I like to go on long hikes.
I like to play volleyball.
I like to come up with new hairstyles.
I like to pickle eggs.
I like to do my nails.

I am good at beach sports.

I enjoy the fashion and beauty industries.

I like to save chicken babies in vinegar.

I love getting a manicure.

I am not a people person.

I constantly have feelings of anger.

I'm an elderly male.

[Speaker 1] Hi how are you doing

[Speaker 2] Good thanks how are you

[Speaker 1] I'm good just got back form a hike

[Speaker 2] Do you like to hike a lot

[Speaker 1] Yeah I am pretty outdoorsy

[Speaker 2] Nice it is raining here

[Speaker 1] That's too bad I'm about to get my nails done

[Speaker 2] Nice lets go do our nails

[Speaker 1] Ok! I go every week

[Speaker 2] Nice I am angry usually

[Speaker 1] Oh no why is that

[Speaker 2] Just my temper it is fast like my car

[Speaker 1] Who are you usually angry at

[Speaker 2] Everything and everyone you see

[Speaker 1] That is funny do you like volleyball

[Speaker 2] It is okay as long as I don't lose

I like to hike.
I get my nails done every week.

I have a fast car.
I am an angry person.
I am competitive.

[Speaker 1] What kind of car do you drive?

[Speaker 2] I have a Maserati.  I really like driving fast to get out my anger.  I do like to hike as well, though.  Where do you hike?

[Speaker 1] There are plenty of hiking trails near where I live. I just pick a new one every weekend and go exploring. What about you?

[Speaker 2] I use an app and try to find trails that are a distance away, so I can have a nice drive, too.  Have you seen anything really cool on your hikes?

[Speaker 1] I've seen some amazing wildlife. Do you own more than one car or just the maserati? Is that what you take when you go hiking?

[Speaker 2] I have an SUV, too.  I switch between the two, depending on how I feel.  Do you own a car?

[Speaker 1] I just have a boring sedan. Nothing too special but it gets the job done. I hope to get an SUV soon though to give me more off roading options. Doo you recommend one in particular?

[Speaker 2] Actually, it's my wife who chose the SUV.  She did all the research and we ended up with a Land Rover.  I like it a lot, especially when we want to take our dog out with us. He doesn't fit in the Maserati.

[Speaker 1] What type of dog do you guys have? And how long have you been married?

[Speaker 2] We've been married for 10 years.  Moxie is a 90lb German Shepherd/Airedale mix.  How about you? married? kids? Pets?

[Speaker 1] I've been married for almost 8 years. 2 kids ... no pets. But my daughter would love to get a kitten! Your dog is huge!! How long have you had him?

[Speaker 2] We've had him since he was a puppy, so 14 years now.  We used to have four cats, but now we just have one. How old are your kids?

I get my nails done every week.

I go hiking every weekend.

I have seen amazing wildlife.

I have a sedan.

I am married. I have two kids. I have a daughter.

I am an angry person.

I am competitive.

I have a Maserati. I like to drive fast. I have an SUV.

I like hikes. I use an app to find trails.

I have a wife. I have a German Shepherd/Airedale. I have a cat.

[Speaker 1] My daughter and I went to get our nails done yesterday.

[Speaker 2] My wife gets her nails done every week too,  It seems to be one of her happy places.  How about you?

[Speaker 1] Yes, it used to be my happy place alone, but now I enjoy sharing it with my daughter. It's fun to do girl things together with her.

[Speaker 2] Sounds good.  I don't get it as I would rather spend my time making money or driving my Maserati.

[Speaker 1] I guess you'd have to make a lot of money to have a Maserati. How do you make so much?

[Speaker 2] I am very competitive and rarely take no for an answer in my business dealings if I want something.  I am in real estate development and don't have too many freinds at work as it is about the money, nit fun when i am working.  I see we have hiking in common.

[Speaker 1] That sounds very stressful. Yes, I try to go hiking frequently. My daughter doesn't like it, but my son does. We live right by a State Park so it's pretty easy to go.

[Speaker 2] I love hiking as I need the time to relax being angry and competitive at work.  i love taking my dog with me.  Do you have an app that helps you find trails?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I can't remember what it's called though. We mostly use it for new trails. A lot of the ones near our house we have memorized. Sometimes we enjoy getting lost though lol

[Speaker 2] that's true.  i have anxiety so my german shepard is always with me out in the woods.  never had any problems with people though.  i also use my app to not get lost with the GPS.  any other pets?

[Speaker 1] It's always a good idea to use a GPS if you're unsure. We don't have any pets right now. My daughter really wants a kitten, so we might do one for Christmas this year, but I'm not sure.

[Speaker 2] I also have cat.  Very easy to take care of and have around.  I'd say I like extremes.  competitive and angry at work, peace and quiet on the trails.  a german shepard dog and a cat...    lol  all or nothing for me.  are you a risk taker?


I hate to workout, but I need to.
I've a bicycle.
I have three dogs at home.
I need to take my blood sugar everyday.

My favorite band is nightfish.
I work from home.
I've a cat as a pet.
I love reading.
I love comics.

I am overweight.
I own a bike.
I have puppies.
I have diabetes.

I love heavy rock groups.
I'm employed from within my residence.
I'm not a dog person.
I am a total bookworm.
I enjoy non fiction.

[Speaker 1] Hello how is your day going

[Speaker 2] My day is just fine, do you have any hobbies?

[Speaker 1] I adore my three dogs at home

[Speaker 2] That's great because I love my pet cat

[Speaker 1] I also love riding my bike

[Speaker 2] That sounds like great exercise, I love to sit and read at home

[Speaker 1] My blood sugar is crazy I need to check

[Speaker 2] Yeah make sure to take care of yourself, try reading comics, I love them

[Speaker 1] Excercise is not my favorite but it needs to be

[Speaker 2] Yes its important, nightish is also one of my favorite brands, try it.

[Speaker 1] What is the nightish brand sell

[Speaker 2] I do not know lol but it sounds like mouthwash or something

I have three dogs.
I love riding my bike.
My blood sugar is not normal.
I do not like to exercise.

I have a cat.
I love to read comics.
Nightish is one of my favorite brands.

[Speaker 1] My blood sugar was really high so I had to take medicine.

[Speaker 2] I'm so sorry, that's very unfortunate. I don't have any major health problems, but I can empathize. Do you take your dogs for regular walks? I hear that even light exercise can help regulate blood sugar levels.

[Speaker 1] I do take my dogs for walks, and I ride my bike.  I think I need to focus on my diet.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense. What is your favorite kind of food? I love Mexican food and BBQ. Neither of which are probably good for my blood sugar!

[Speaker 1] You seem to be health, though.  My favorite foods are steak and potatoes.  Maybe I should cut back on the starch.  I am thinking about going low carb.  What do you think about low carb diets?

[Speaker 2] I think low carb diets are probably healthy, but I don't ever want to have to do it. I love my carbs too much! I tend to just snack on potato chips while reading comics. Do you snack on junk food much?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, way too much!  I think if I cut out the junk food that I would probably be fine.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, if only they weren't so delicious. My cat tends to steal snacks from me, so that might be okay. I also have a sister, and her cat does the same thing - maybe our family subconsciously trains our pets to steal snacks! Do your dogs do the same?

[Speaker 1] My dogs will take food right off my plate and run to the corner to eat.  They mainly do this with pizza for some reason.

[Speaker 2] They must really enjoy pizza. What's your favorite kind? I generally just go for pepperoni pizza.

[Speaker 1] I like Taco Pizza from Pizza Hut.  It is so good!

[Speaker 2] Wow, I'll have to try that next time I go to Pizza Hut. Have you ever tried to take your pizza home by bike before? I have a bike but not a car, and I'd like to try picking up a pizza sometime.

I have three dogs.

I love riding my bike. I do not like to exercise.

My blood sugar is not normal. I take medicine when my blood sugar is high.

My favorite food is steak and potatoes. I eat too much junk food. My dogs steal pizza off my plate. I like Pizza Hut's Taco Pizza.

I love to read comics.

Nightish is one of my favorite brands.

I am free from any major health problems.

I love Mexican food and BBQ food. I favor pepperoni pizza. I love my carbs. I snack on potato chips.

I have a cat. I have a sister who has a cat.

I have a bike.

[Speaker 1] I was given a box of comics and I know you read them would you like me to send them to you?

[Speaker 2] What kind of comics are they?

[Speaker 1] It's a bunch of those old horror type comics, mostly from the seventies. Things like "House of Mystery" and "Tales from the Crypt" and "Chamber of Chills". Great artwork.

[Speaker 2] I'm not really into that stuff. I'm more into superheroes. Superman, Batman, Spider-man, even Conan the Barbarian.

[Speaker 1] Right, I think those are definitely more popular. Do they even make these horror ones anymore? It seems like they used to be around more in the past, but maybe I was just noticing them more back then.

[Speaker 2] I can't remember seeing them. Classic horror is very niche to begin with, and comics even more so.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, graphic novels have probably taken their place, come to think of it. The only kind of comics I was ever really into were the sillier ones, things like "Richie Rich" and "Archie" and that kind of stuff. I used to keep it a secret from the kids who liked the superhero comics, lol.

[Speaker 2] I don't know anything about those. I wouldn't have held it against people who liked that stuff though.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, you know how kids are -- you were more evolved, it sounds like! I also liked "Dennis the Menace" and "Peanuts," those kind of things. "Doonesbury" too once I got a little older. Do you have a large collection? Any rare ones?

[Speaker 2] I liked the Peanuts and Dennis the Menace cartoons when I was little. I was a big fan of Snoopy.

[Speaker 1] Snoopy was so cool! I remember him being like a celebrity when I was a kid -- he was on t-shirts and posters and everything. "Joe Cool" was his alter ego, along with the pilot who battled the Red Baron. Oh, this brings back memories -- that stuff used to be so "real" in a way.

[Speaker 2] I liked the Garfield cartoons as well. They were always on during the holidays.


I weight 300 pounds.
I like candy and soda.
I like the movie godfather.
I'm a man.

I like music.
I like to skateboard.
I like the guitar.
I am a vegan.

I'm overweight.
I like sweets.
I watch television.
I am not a woman.

I enjoy listening to some good tunes.

I enjoy cruising around on a flat board with four wheels.

Acoustic sounds so good.

I do not eat meat, dairy, or animal by products.

[Speaker 1] Wanna come over and watch the godfather?

[Speaker 2] I don't have a car, I have a skateboard.

[Speaker 1] You can skateboard over. I do not live too far. I have candy and soda to share.

[Speaker 2] No thanks, I do not eat any animal products.

[Speaker 1] I promise there are no animal products in my candy and soda.

[Speaker 2] Most candy has some form of dairy. As a vegan I can not have that.

[Speaker 1] I eat a lot of candy and soda, that is why I'm now 300 pounds.

[Speaker 2] You should try skateboarding, it could help you lose weight.

[Speaker 1] Do you think a guy like me could learn how?

[Speaker 2] You never know unless you try!

[Speaker 1] Ok. What else should we do?

[Speaker 2] We could have a jam session. I love playing my guitar. Do you play?

[Speaker 1] No. I just watch tv. The godfather, mostly.

[Speaker 2] Do you listen to any music?

[Speaker 1] Uh, does the theme music to the godfather count?

[Speaker 2] I guess so, I like all music!

I enjoy watching movies.

I enjoy junk food. I am obese.

I enjoy watching TV. The Godfather is my favorite.

I don't have a car.
I'm a vegetarian.
I enjoy playing my guitar.
I like all music.

[Speaker 1] I tried listening to some music other than The Godfather theme song!

[Speaker 2] OH yeah? What did you listen to? Did you like it? Are you going to listen to others?

[Speaker 1] I listened to Spice Girls -- it brings me back to my childhood. What music do you usually listen to?

[Speaker 2] Oh everything. I like rock best of all. Classic rock, metal, soft rock. But everything is great. One of my favorite songs to play is Hey There Delilah. You should totally check out REO speedwagon and the eagles. But if you want to listen to some music that will get you pumped up to help you move around and lose a little weight, you should pump out some Lady Gaga. Plus it is close enough to Spice Girls, you might love it

[Speaker 1] Thank you for your suggestions. I'm looking to lose weight but find it hard to. As I'm confined to a wheelchair without a stable job. With limited income and no cooking abilities, I eat McDonald's everyday. Do you have suggestions on how to live and eat cheaply?

[Speaker 2] I don't spend much on food when I am on a budget. Rice and beans are very cheap and you can cook those in a rice cooker and a crock pot with very little interaction. Of course, for someone that is not a vegetarian, there are meat options that are cheap that you can add to the beans to make them more like what you are used to. if you are in a wheel chair, youtube has lots of ways to work out on it. If you search workouts for wheelchairs, you should get things that you can do at home, and some of the things include nothing but bottles of water to go along with the workout. The bottles of water would be like the weights.

[Speaker 1] Wow, I have never even thought of what you suggested. Thank you and I will take your recommendations and see whether they work for me. Do you cook everyday?

[Speaker 2] Yes I do. There are not many places that have vegetarian options, and the ones that do still have the chance of cross contamination. I prefer to know that all of my food is meat free. Plus, I like to try new things, so when I have time, I research how to make new things.

[Speaker 1] You are very inspirational! Do you walk to the grocery store or usually order groceries online?

[Speaker 2] I do not order online ever because with produce, it can go bad quickly. I walk to the store and carry home what I need for the day or up to the next two days. If it is more than I can carry, it probably wont last long enough for me to eat it

[Speaker 1] That makes sense! and you indirectly get the exercise you need frequently.

[Speaker 2] Yes exactly. It is helpful in many ways. I think that it might also help you to go out and wheel around walking trails that are sidewalks. I could come along with you and we could move around together

I enjoy watching TV and movies. The Godfather is my favorite. I like listening to the Godfather theme song.

I listened to Spice Girls.

I eat McDonald's every day.I am obese. I find it hard to loose weight.  I use a wheelchair. I don't have a stable job. I have limited income. I can't cook.

I don't have a car.

I enjoy playing my guitar.

I like all music. I like classic rock, metal, soft rock. I like song Hey There Delilah.

I don't spend a lot of money on food. I cook every day.  I am a vegetarian. I like trying new things. I do not order online.

[Speaker 1] Have you found any new vegetarian recipes?

[Speaker 2] I actually have tried one called Gazpacho. Have you ever heard of it before? I know you don't cook much.

[Speaker 1] I have never heard of it?  What is involved in it?  I always wanted to learn how to cook

[Speaker 2] It's actually a cold soup that is made out of veggies. It originated in Spain if I am not mistaken.

[Speaker 1] Sounds good!  I need to eat healthier.  I work so much that I always make excuses to eat out

[Speaker 2] Well there's nothing wrong with that. It's just good if you eat in moderation. What's your favorite food?

[Speaker 1] The old fashion Big Mac and Fries! I eat it on a daily basis so its causing me a lot of health issues.

[Speaker 2] Really? Daily? Do you ever try anything else there? I think McDonalds has a couple of healthier options now.

[Speaker 1] From time to time, i'll go with the 20 piece nuggets; at least I try to drink water instead of a soda

[Speaker 2] That's a great start! If you cut out soda, it can reduce your weight by quite a bit. The sugar intake can actually be causing you to gain more weight than a big mac!

[Speaker 1] That's true.  I try to walk on a daily basis to attempt to keep my weight down.  What else do you like to eat?

[Speaker 2] Oh there are so many things. My favorite has to be Chicken Alfredo. Always make the sauce homemade as it is far better than what you get in the jar already premade.

[Speaker 2] That's great. Congratulations! Will your raise allow you to spend more on your gardening?

[Speaker 1] Unfortunately, i think it will take more time away from it! It will definitely keep me busier, since i am getting promoted to a higher position. However, in this moments time i do not mind too much. How is work going for you?

[Speaker 2] Work is good. I've been super busy, one of the nurses on my floor is currently on maternity leave so I've been helping out by doing double shifts a few times a week.

[Speaker 1] Wow! That sounds like a lot! I hope that you will be getting a promotion sometime soon as well!! I assume that has not left you with very much time to do your gymnastics?

[Speaker 2] I've definitely been doing it less but still find time on the weekends. Do your husband and child ever help you in your garden? And what do you grow there?

[Speaker 1] I am proud of you. You must love it a lot in order to put in all that work and still find the energy and motivation to do what you love. That is great. My husband does not enjoy it at all. My child loves to be in the garden with me. I mostly love to grow things that i can eat, so cucumbers, carrots, potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes etc. It is only seasonal though. Winter time, i barely do any gardening.

[Speaker 2] I would love to one day have a garden. How old is your child?

[Speaker 1] It takes a lot of work and a lot of patience, but it really is wonderful! He is 5 years old. Super active and so happy and just a fun kid. Are you and your boyfriend planning on having kids at some point?

[Speaker 2] Oh definitely! We both love kids so much. But I definitely want to wait until we are married. I'm kinda old school like that. Do you plan on having any more kids?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, i definitely understand that. Any plans of getting married yet? I think i would like two more children.

[Speaker 2] We've discussed it several times. My boyfriend is almost done with his masters. I think he's been waiting for that to get married. I'm hoping he proposes soon. If not, I might just have to propose myself!!

[Speaker 1] Yes!  It's more responsibility but it comes with a nice pay raise.  Plus, my employee discount increases as well. I don't why I'm so nervous?  I already know everyone there!  You know, I can use my discount for select friends.....feel like a shopping spree this weekend?

[Speaker 2] You are going to do amazing! That is so awesome, so happy for you. Wow that's so nice, yes I'd love that! How much is your discount for?

[Speaker 1] 40%!  Plus, I can use that on top of clearance prices.  I already pulled a few outfits from clearance and set aside.  We're talking $5 for a pair of jeans, $2 tops....etc!  It's mainly winter clothes but it's a great way to stock up for next season.

[Speaker 2] Awesome! Yes I'm down for a shopping spree, you can't beat those prices! How about the shoes? I may need some new shoes for work.

[Speaker 1] My discount covers everything in the store!  There's a pair of kitten heels in clearance you would love.  Size 8 right?  Oh, and a gorgeous pair of high heels.  They would look great with that new dress you just bought for your up coming anniversary dinner!

[Speaker 2] Yes! Perfect I'll try them on when we go shopping, thank you!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, no problem.  I'm glad I can extend the offer.  So do you think your boyfriend will propose over dinner?

[Speaker 2] Who knows, It's been 10 years maybe he's finally ready! He has been acting a little suspicious recently, and we usually just go to a mediocre restaurant for our anniversary but this time he wants to get all dressed up and go somewhere expensive!

[Speaker 1] Ok. so you have to get these shoes then!  I guarantee you he's planning a proposal.  I'm assuming you'll say yes?!  Are you excited?

[Speaker 2] I try to write a short poem every morning.  Just a few lines.  I'm hoping to collect them all sometime and make a little book.  Nothing formal, just for my family and friends.

[Speaker 1] Thats awesome I hope you get to make that book one day I'd love a copy!  wish I could write that consistently but I had a hard time sitting down to actually write.

[Speaker 2] Do you think it's because you write so much for work?  Maybe you just don't have the energy to then go do it for fun

[Speaker 1] Most likely its hard to switch off my work brain and get into creative mode. Once im in the right mindset its time to go to bed or go to work. Oh well Ill just have to keep working at it. Are you going to go skate this weekend?

[Speaker 2] I'm hoping to!  Write, practice with the band, and skate.  Perfect weekend.  Do you skate?

[Speaker 2] The day after tomorrow. You are more than welcome to join if you would like!

[Speaker 1] I could be the unofficial roadie!  Let me see if I can get the time off of work and I'm there.  Is this a one time gig or ongoing?

[Speaker 2] It's just a one time gig. There will be other punk rock bands playing so I think you would love it!

[Speaker 1] Sounds great.  Are you going to perform any of your new songs or sticking with your popular, standard songs?

[Speaker 2] It will be a little bit of a mix. We have one new one that we are excited to try out but we will probably stick mostly to our big hits. I'm so anxious I might have to go to your next yoga class with you.

[Speaker 1] I have one tonight at 7pm.  You're more than welcomed to join.  The teacher's great and can even give you a quick one on one breathing technique that can help you calm down before hitting the stage.

[Speaker 2] That would be great! I don't have too many techniques to stay calm other than my poetry so it would be good to pick up on a couple more.

[Speaker 1] It's easy to do and is very effective.  I get why you're nervous but you know you'll be awesome out there!  This is what you've been practicing and waiting for.  Any chance there will any record execs in the crowd?!

[Speaker 2] I believe there will be a couple. The band would be elated if we got a record deal in the UK. I wonder if I could move into the Buckingham Palace if I got famous enough.

[Speaker 1] Hello how are you tonight

[Speaker 2] I'm fine, and you?

[Speaker 1] I'm great just never liked sports

[Speaker 2] Not a fan of sports myself, love animals, which is why I'm a vet.

[Speaker 1] I'm shooting a bow and arrow but at fake targets

[Speaker 2] Interesting, I have 3 shih tzus and 2 tabbies, any pets for you?

[Speaker 1] No I work in the office too much

[Speaker 2] I see, I ride my bike to work most days.

[Speaker 1] I am talented in bike riding as well

[Speaker 2] Nice!! I will be 30 tomorrow, how about you?

[Speaker 1] I'll too that is so cool

[Speaker 2] Yes it is. I'm trying to try out a vegan eating way of life.

[Speaker 1] It is much more healthier if you can

[Speaker 2] I am not sure I will make it, but I will try.

[Speaker 1] I understand that it could be hard

[Speaker 2] Yes, especially when someone eats the way I've.

I do not like sports.
I work in an office.
I can ride a bike.
I just turned 30.

I do not like sports. I am a vet. I love animals.

I have 3 shih tzus and 2 tabbies.

I ride a bike.

I just turned 30.

I will become a vegan. I have eaten unhealthily.

[Speaker 1] Are you enjoying the vegan lifestyle?

[Speaker 2] I am still working on transferring into that. It is very hard. I need to have a more healthy lifestyle, but I don't like all the food options. Do you like vegan food?

[Speaker 1] I love vegetables but every time I try to cook vegan the recipes have weird ingredients that are hard to find or the texture is off. I am changing my diet to have more veggies but still be "normal". I am starting to ride my bike more.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that has been my problem. The textures are so weird. I need to ride my bike more. Where are you going to get more time on it? I have just been staying around my neighborhood and I dont remember to ride it every week even. I love doing it, but I get so distracted with my fur babies.

[Speaker 1] I have been riding in the park near my house. I am looking to get a stand that I can put the bike on and "ride" indoors when the weather is bad or I don't get to ride until it is dark. I have finished the rehab on my house and want to get a dog but my yard is small. What do you recommend?

[Speaker 2] It would probably be best to get a medium or small dog. Are you looking for one that will be very energetic and fun to play with or a laid back version? That is one of the most important things. Also, will it go inside ever, or do you plan to have it free roaming in the yard all the time?

[Speaker 1] I am planning on putting in a doggie door for when I am not home so it can be indoor in bad weather but can come and go to the fenced backyard. It will need to entertain itself some but not go nuts in the house.

[Speaker 2] Ok, I would say the best breed for you would be a shelty. They are energetic and fun, they are tiny collies, and they can always find something to do independently. It is also a breed that loves to be outside and also is respectful inside and easy to train.

[Speaker 1] That sounds fun, are they good with kids? My nephews come frequently when their parents work odd hours.

[Speaker 2] Oh yes. I had a Shelty as a child and she was the best animal I have ever been around. THe only thing you need to really be aware of is that they have long hair and do shed a lot in the spring

[Speaker 1] I guess that  is what vacuums are for. Do they live a long time?

[Speaker 2] Yeah they do. Mine was almost 12 years old when she got ahold of some poison. She still had years to go. I miss that dog. But I love my fur babies now. Oh, and they get along with other dogs and cats! My doggos now don't too much care for my tabbies.

I do not like sports.

I work in an office. I just turned 30.

I love vegetables.

I ride my bike in the park near my house. I'm getting a stand so I can pedal my bike inside. I've done work on my house. I want to get a dog.

I'm putting a doggie door in the door leading to the backyard.

I have multiple nephews.

I ride a bike.

I just turned 30.

I had a Shelty dog as a child. My Shelty lived to be 12. I have 3 shih tzus and 2 tabbies.

[Speaker 1] I've been looking into more recipes that don't rely on texture so much.

[Speaker 2] You mean more purees and soups, roasted veggies and potatoes?

[Speaker 1] Somewhat. I love crispy firm foods like potatoes and roasted vegetables. I don't like recipes where they try to make a vegetable into something else like riced cauliflower. It just gets mushy and does not have the texture of rice.

[Speaker 2] But I thought that's what you're currently looking for, foods without a lot of structure?

[Speaker 1] No I was looking just to add more vegetables in general but sometimes the vegan recipes just have weird texture. Nothing wrong with the structure. Do you have any recommendations for some easy vegan recipes that you've liked?

[Speaker 2] I'm just learning about vegan recipes so I'm keeping it simply.  I did find a good mac & cheese that uses softened cashews, cauliflower and nutritional yeast for the cheese sauce.  It wasn't bad.  I think I'd make it again.  I need more protein though but a little scared of tofu and tempeh.  Any suggestions on how to make it taste better?

[Speaker 1] That sounds really interesting! I may have to try that because I already have all of the ingredients. Cashews are really good at making non-dairy milk as well. I was never a big fan of tofu until I had fried tofu at a restaurant. Maybe try air-frying it if you want to avoid the extra oil? It would be good with your favorite vegetables and sauce as a stir fry.

[Speaker 2] I never thought of air frying tofu.  I'll have to try that thanks!  You know what I miss the most?  Bacon.  I've heard theres a recipe where you do something to mushrooms and they taste just like bacon.  Have you tried that one?

[Speaker 1] I've also seen some of those recipes online but I've never tried it before. I think bacon is the sole reason I could never fully be vegan! You should try it and tell me how it is

[Speaker 2] I will.  So what are you making for dinner tonight?

[Speaker 1] I have some leftovers from yesterday but I'm thinking of throwing everything together to make some pasta. I just bought some noodles made from chickpeas and it has some additional protein. Have you tried anything similar?

[Speaker 2] I've had the lentil pasta which is delicious.  I top it with pesto and fresh vegetables.  You would probably enjoy that recipe.  You want me to send you the recipe?

[Speaker 2] God bless you and yours this fine day!

[Speaker 1] Thank you, do you have cheese in your fridge? I love it

[Speaker 2] My mamma raised me to be generous, and yes I do, you are welcome to some.

[Speaker 2] I'm also a grown woman. Mamma did right by me even though it just her

[Speaker 2] I see. What else do you like to do

[Speaker 1] It is a cartoon, that's so funny, but he makes funny noises

I am an adult female. I grew up in a single-parent household. I was raised by my mother.

[Speaker 1] How is your mother doing?

[Speaker 2] My mother is doing well.  She still is living alone after all these years so I'm trying to convince her to get a cat.  Do you have any pets at all?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I have 5 cats. Ever since my husband passed away, I became lonely and unexpectedly turned to become a crazy cat lady! My cats keep me company. Doesn't your mother often feel lonely?

[Speaker 2] That's so cool that you have 5!  I'm glad that they keep you company.  She feels lonely at times but has quite a few friends that she watches tv with.  What are your favorite television shows?

[Speaker 1] Good to know that she is in good company. I'm a little embarrassed to admit but I love Spongebob Squarepants cartoons. He used to be my son's favorite character and I have grown to love that cartoon. I also enjoy watching Simpons. Do you often watch TV?

[Speaker 2] Cartoons are a lot of fun to watch - I really enjoy both of those shows.  Yes, I watch some tv.  I enjoy watching The Goldbergs while eating dinner. Do you eat while watching tv?

[Speaker 1] Usually junk food such as chips with cheese, ice-cream, donuts and chocolates. I'm pleasantly surprised I'm still alive at 70 considering how much junk food I consume. Are you 35 yet?

[Speaker 2] Junk food is the best!  Not the healthiest but who cares when it tastes good.  I turned 40 in October.  My friends and I went to see a movie.  What did you do on your last movie?

[Speaker 1] Wow, you must get your youthful looks from your mother! I never thought you were even close to 40. On my last movie I watched Wonder Woman and ate popcorn. Are you free this weekend? If so, perhaps you and your mother can join me for a movie?

[Speaker 2] Thank you so much!  I never saw that movie but was always interested in it.  That sounds like an intriguing plan.  I'll check with my mom and see what she says.  What movie do you want to see?

[Speaker 1] How about Tom and Jerry? I love cats, so that is a movie I'm interested in watching.

[Speaker 2] That would be a fun movie to watch considering we both have cats as pets.  I'll keep you posted on our plans and let you know.  What are your cats names?

I am 70 years old woman.  Frank Sinatra is an artist I enjoy.

I am 40 years old woman. My birthday is in October.

I have a pet cat.

[Speaker 1] You said you had a pet cat, what is their name and how old are they?

[Speaker 2] My cat's name is Curtis, and he is about to turn 9 this month!  He's my little fur baby.  I don't think I'd be able to handle 5 of them like you though!  How do your cats get along?

[Speaker 1] They get along so well! We all sit on the couch and watch tv together.

[Speaker 2] Haha!  Isn't it funny how even though they are animals, at times, they almost act like little people?  What breeds of cats are they?  Curtis is an American short-hair.

[Speaker 1] All of mine are Persians. They are so soft and have long hair. Two of them make the funniest faces when they are irritated.

[Speaker 2] Oh!  Are those the cats with the smushed faces?  They are adorable!  Do they shed alot?  Do you find a lot of fur on your furniture and clothes?

[Speaker 1] They are! Yes their hair is everywhere. I don't mind it but when my son comes over he brings a lint roller and goes to town. Does your cat shed?

[Speaker 2] He sheds a bit, especially in the summer time, but it's not too bad.  Of course one of his favorite spots to nap is on top of my sweaters, so those are always covered in fur.  I have to have lint rollers in my house!

[Speaker 1] Oh yes, I've just come to terms with the fact that I will never be able to keep up with the hair. I got one of those remote vacuums for Christmas last year and that does seem to help a little bit.

[Speaker 2] Do you mean like one of those Roombas?  I've thought about getting one of those, but I cannot imagine the mess if a Roomba was to roll over a hairball or something.  Yuck!

[Speaker 1] That is it! I suppose it would make a mess if it got into some mud!

[Speaker 2] You mentioned your son earlier...how is he doing?  Does he still live at home?

[Speaker 2] Wings for sure! It's a tradition. And I'll make nachos (loaded with meat of course), and pizza!! What about you

[Speaker 1] This sounds good ! In fact, you have encouraged me to add nachos to my super bowl watch party. For we are having pasta, pizza and lasagna. It is going to be awesome . By the way I can not believe the colts ended up at the super bowl. How excited are you ?

[Speaker 2] So excited!! I really wish I could have gone to the super bowl to see them play. That would have been a dream! Would you ever want to go? If not for the actual sport, just for the super bowl experience?

[Speaker 1] Of course! From all the social media videos I have watched it looks fun. Anyway, have you gone mudding lately ?

[Speaker 2] No I haven't had much time for that lately. What have you been up to? Busy with the kiddos I'm sure

[Speaker 1] You would not believe it. I have had to drive a lot, taking them to their practices and school. It has been hectic. Thankfully I listen to country music to calm me down.

[Speaker 2] How old are the kids? Country music!! I didn't know you like it. Who's your favorite artist/group?

[Speaker 1] They are ages 10,13, and 15 and growing up so fast. Pretty hectic being a parent but it is also a blessing. Which is why country music has been an aid. Right now I am listening to carrie underwood and Tim Mcgraw. Who are your favorites ?

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! Are you going with anyone?

[Speaker 1] I was actually wondering if you would like to go with me.  I know that you're a fan of country music.  What do you think?

[Speaker 2] I would love too! She's one of my favorites, but I have never actually seen her live. I wonder who is opening for her.

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure who will be opening...I'm sure it will be some sort of up-and-coming acts.  This will be my first time seeing her live as well!

[Speaker 2] It'll be a blast. Last time I went to a concert it got rained out.

[Speaker 1] This one will be indoors, so we won't need to worry about that!  Have you been mudding lately?

[Speaker 2] A few times. It's been pretty dry here lately. I can't wait for the next big rain storm. Maybe you could come with me next time?

[Speaker 1] I'd love to!  I've never been mudding before.  Could you tell me a little about what I should expect?
