[Speaker 2] They are doing well, I took them to the dog park earlier today.

[Speaker 1] You didn't mention to me that you have a dog.

[Speaker 2] I thought I did earlier, sorry about that. Do you have dogs?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I adopted a small puppy from the orphanage last week.

[Speaker 2] That's so kind. You should take it to the dog park, it would be a lot of fun.

[Speaker 1] Sure. Now that you have mentioned it, can we plan for this weekend?

[Speaker 2] Sure, this weekend works. Usually I don't have to work on weekends.

[Speaker 1] That's superb. My puppy will get to meet your dog and i will also get a chance to meet you in person.

[Speaker 1] Are you free to meet at the dog park on Sunday afternoon? My grandchildren just adopted a small puppy. Is it okay to bring him to the dog park as well?

[Speaker 2] A small puppy! That is exciting news. My dogs are great with puppies. I'd be happy to meet on Sunday. What time do you want to meet?

[Speaker 1] Would after lunch be okay for you? I'm working on Sunday until 1 pm. And I would need time to go pick up the puppy.

[Speaker 2] That would be great for me. Since you're working, do you want to meet up for food first?

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a good plan. What kind of food do you like?

[Speaker 2] Best Pizza is near the park. We can stop there for a quick slice?

[Speaker 1] That works well for me. I like pizza! What toppings are your favorite?

[Speaker 2] I'm a traditionalist. Plain pies for me. Maybe once in a while I'

[Speaker 1] Plain cheese is good. I'm one of those weirdos who puts pineapple on their pizza. Hope we can still be friends lol

[Speaker 2] Sorry, hit send too soon last time. I actually do like pineapple! With black olives. Want to do that?

[Speaker 1] We can do that, sure! We can split a pie and take home what's not finished.

[Speaker 2] That sounds perfect. So let's plan for 2?

I have grandchildren that just adopted a small puppy. I am relatively old.

I like dogs. I have one dog.

I like pizza. I like pineapple on my pizza.

[Speaker 1] Have you been caring for your cars recently?

[Speaker 2] It's been raining the last few days, so I've been keeping them safe in the garage.

[Speaker 1] That's good! How often do you drive them? Do you drive them to work at all?

[Speaker 2] Never to work. There is too much dust on the job sites. I take them out most weekends when the weather is good.

[Speaker 1] Ah, so how do you commute to work normally?

[Speaker 2] I have a Ford pickup truck for my everyday driving. What kind of vehicle do you drive?

[Speaker 1] Oh cool! I drive a Lincoln Zephyr. How's your job been lately?

[Speaker 2] That's a sweet ride. Work's crazy busy. All the overtime you can handle. It feels like we're building a new house every couple of weeks.

[Speaker 1] It definitely is. So comfortable. Pickup trucks are cool though. And wow! That sounds like a lot. Are you off right now or on a break? I do work a lot, but only part time.

[Speaker 2] Today's my day off for the week. What do you do for work?

[Speaker 1] Ah, that's great! I work in a T-shirt shop and help screen print. I'm already off for the day

[Speaker 2] What is the craziest shirt you've made?

I like dogs. I have one dog.

I work on the Sundays and during the week.  do part time work.  work in a T-shirt shop and help screen print.

I drive a Lincoln Zephyr.

I work as a construction worker. I have a decent wage from my job.

My job is going well.

[Speaker 1] How are Luke and Duke doing these days?

[Speaker 2] Oh you know them. Always getting into play fights with each other! I swear one day one of them won't be playing, though...

[Speaker 1] what is your favorite thing that you have built on the job so far?

[Speaker 2] We usually don't get many interesting jobs - mostly some building foundations here and there. Though we did help out this plumbing crew with the creation of a fountain a couple weeks back, now that you mention it! Anyways, have any interesting T-shirt print requests come up?

[Speaker 1] That sounds so awesome fountains are always so nice to look at and listen to. There are always so many kinds of prints people want its hard to say which one is the most interesting.

[Speaker 2] Well, if you had to choose your favorite print, what would it be? I'm sure with all the custom requests rolling in you have to have at least ONE that you can pinpoint as memorable.

[Speaker 1] I think it would be the last print i remember doing with cow skulls and roses. It was very tasteful.

[Speaker 2] That sounds awesome!! Maybe you can make me a custom print of Luke and Duke? I tip well!

[Speaker 1] of course!!! That would probably be so adorable that it would take the spot as my new favorite custom work yet.

[Speaker 2] Good to hear. Speaking of dogs, I know that your grandkids just recently got that new puppy, right? How are they doing with house-training it and whatnot?

[Speaker 1] Its been going good as far as I can tell, They are taking it outside to get acquainted with the grass as often as they can, to try and start potty training. They are hoping to starting obedience training as soon as they can.

[Speaker 2] Well let me know when the puppy becomes big enough to maybe meet my dogs! Maybe you should bring yours too so the puppy can get used to having other dogs around. I'm sure the kids will really appreciate it.

I like to spend my money on cars.

I watch too much tv in spare time.

I love to bake cookies.

Knitting is my passion.

I'm a pet owner.

The kitchen is one of my favorite places to be.

I like crafting things.

I enjoy eating pastries.

[Speaker 1] Good evening. How are you?

[Speaker 2] Hey there, I am doing well, and you?

[Speaker 1] Doing ok. Watching way to much television tonight.

[Speaker 2] I usually binge something in the background

[Speaker 1] Same here as I work out of the house.

[Speaker 2] I wish I could find a good job like that,

[Speaker 1] They are out there you just gotta do a lot of searching.

[Speaker 2] Most of them are call based, and I have a hearing disability

[Speaker 1] You should look into this thing I found called amazon turk.

[Speaker 2] Well, that's about it. Not enough to live on

[Speaker 1] Depends on what the requesters offer.

[Speaker 2] Either way, not enough to live on. Do you have any animals?

[Speaker 1] I do not. I go to the fitness center but mostly to socialize.

[Speaker 2] I've four cats and a puppy, they're my everything

[Speaker 1] I should get a cat. I don't really have steady relationships.

[Speaker 2] They are so much more worth it than a relationship

I like to have the TV on. I work from home.

I do not have animals. I go to the fitness center. i like to socialize.

I am not in a relationship.

I like to have TV in the background.
I would like to work from home.
I have a hearing disability.
I have four cats and one puppy.

[Speaker 1] I learned how to adopt a pet but I am not sure about it yet.

[Speaker 2] Oh that is wonderful! Might I recommend adopting a cocker Spaniel dog? They are a fabulous breed.

[Speaker 1] I have looked at those, they are really cute. What do you like about them?

[Speaker 2] They are energetic but not tiring, and they are very loyal to their owners.  And yes, they are cute as a mutton Butt.

[Speaker 1] Ha! I will definitely look into them. How are your pets doing?

[Speaker 2] You know it's funny but I want another one. I just have so much fun with them that I and constantly trying to justify ways to add another little pup or kitten to the mix. I guess I'm a regular dr. Doolittle.

[Speaker 1] That would be awesome. What are you looking for, another cat, or a dog?

[Speaker 2] Well can you keep a secret? I have been taking a fancy to exotic birds. I was thinking about a colorful parrot. You know, the kind that lives 50 or 60 years

[Speaker 1] That sounds really cool. Do they need to have a lot of space so they can fly around, or do they prefer smaller spaces?

[Speaker 2] I must admit I have not thought that far ahead. I suppose it's unfair to keep a pet bird in a cage. I surely do not know why the caged bird sings

[Speaker 1] Some birds are ok in cages, I guess if you did your research you could find one that would work out. I just hope your cats wouldn't take too much of an interest in it. :)

[Speaker 2] I really appreciate your positive attitude. That type of thing is getting hard and harder to find these days it seems

I do not have animals. I go to the fitness center. I like to socialize.

I am not in a relationship.

I may adopt a pet. I looked at Cocker Spaniels.

I like to have TV in the background.

I would like to work from home.

I have a hearing disability.

I have four cats and one puppy. I want another pet.

[Speaker 1] Other then thinking of adopting a bird, how are your four cats and puppy doing? If you do end up working from home like you want, you will get to spend a lot of time with them.

[Speaker 2] Yes, my pets are doing very well! Working from home would be amazing! How are your pets>

[Speaker 1] I don't have any pets remember! I'm still thinking about adopting but I'm not ready to commit yet! Do your pets take up a lot of your time?

[Speaker 2] That's right, I thought by this time--you had adopted your pet already! Have you decided on a pet yet? Yes they keep me very busy!

[Speaker 1] I think I definitely want a dog but want to make sure I'm ready for the responsibility before I adopt! I hope I can find a dog that will go on runs with me!

[Speaker 2] Oh that would be so fun! Do you enjoy running alot?

[Speaker 1] Yes! Running is my favorite kind of exercise outside of the gym. I love being outdoors!

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, I need to start running again! What other things do you enjoy doing outdoors?

[Speaker 1] I love going to the lake, hopefully I'll adopt a dog that loves water as much as I do! Do you like being outdoors?

[Speaker 2] That does sound nice as well! I actually like being inside! I like reading books and playing games.

[Speaker 1] Very cool! Do you have a favorite book? I don't read much.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I love reading the Bible actually! It is really encouraging! Reading is fun to me.

I do not have pets. I go to the fitness center. I like to socialize.

I am not in a relationship.

I like to run. I like to go to the gym. I like the outdoors. I enjoy going to the lake.

I don't read much.

I like to have TV in the background.

I would like to work from home.

I have a hearing disability.

I spend a lot of time taking care of my pets.

I used to run.

I like to stay inside. I like to read. I like to play games. My favorite book is the bible.

[Speaker 1] What are some of your favorite games to play?

[Speaker 2] Life and Monopoly are my two favorite. I like playing them while having a movie night.

[Speaker 1] I like Monopoly too, but my friends won't play it with my anymore because I'm a bit too mean.  I like to make really outlandish deals.

[Speaker 2] I like to make no deals and hoard as much as possible. I guess I'm a little mean at Monopoly too, lol. At least my cats like me!

[Speaker 1] I've been looking at some pet shelters and decided that a cocker spaniel is the way to go.  There's a breed specific rescue in my area that just got a mom with a litter of puppies.  Thinking I may have to go and adopt one.  I need some company when I'm working at home all day.  The tv can only help so much, you know?

[Speaker 2] I can definitely understand that. I like keeping the TV on as background noise, but having my fluffy friends keeps me busy

[Speaker 1] Have you decided if you're going to add anymore to your family yet?  I know you've got your hands full already.

[Speaker 2] I've been considering a bird. I've never had one and don't know much about them yet. First I would have to figure out if my dog and cats would even tolerate one.

[Speaker 1] I had a bird growing up. Just a budgie (parakeet) nothing super big.  I heard that you have to be very careful with them around dogs and cats, because they are so fragile.  We only had one bird for a little while and didn't have any other pets at the time, so he could fly free around the house.  He was a great little friend.

[Speaker 2] Hmm, I'd hate to have to keep him locked up all the time. Wouldn't seem fair to a bird

[Speaker 1] You could always have a designated room to be a free flight room, that could work.  But yeah, I understand not wanting to cage them all the time.  But if you got a bigger bird, it might be ok.

[Speaker 2] Yea, it's something I definitely need to look into further! I hope you can get the dog you're looking at, they're so sweet.

I am not in a relationship.

I don't read much.

I also like Monopoly. My friends won't play it with me because I make outlandish deals.

I am going to adopt a cocker spaniel.

I used to have a parakeet. I understand not wanting to cage your bird all the time.

I like to have TV in the background.

I would like to work from home.

I have a hearing disability.

I have four cats and one puppy. I might adopt a bird. I may get an exotic bird. I have not looked into specifics of having a bird. My pets keep me busy. I don't know if they would tolerate a bird. I don't know much about birds. I don't want to lock up my bird all the time.

I used to run.

I like to stay inside. I like to read. My favorite book is the bible.

Life and Monopoly are some of my favorite games. I like playing them on movie nights. I don't make deals in Monopoly. I hoard as much as possible.

[Speaker 1] I decided to adopt the cocker spaniel I was talking about.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that's great! Have you named him yet?

[Speaker 1] Not yet, was thinking of naming her after something from the Monopoly game. Do you have any suggestions?

[Speaker 2] Hmm. I'm not sure. Park Place doesn't really seem like a good name for a dog!

[Speaker 1] That's true, what are your pets names? Maybe it will help me think of a good one for my pup.

[Speaker 2] My dog is named Zeus. My cats are Sparky, Princess, Madonna, and Missy.

[Speaker 1] Those are all great names! What do you think about Luna for my dog? If you got a bird what would you name it?

[Speaker 2] I like the name Luna! I'm not sure what to name a bird. I've never had one before, so I haven't really thought about names. Any ideas?

[Speaker 1] Hmm, what about Zazu, like the bird from the Lion King?

[Speaker 2] Oh, that's a great idea! Zazu it will be. Now I'm definitely motivated to start looking for an avian companion!

[Speaker 1] I'm looking forward to you adopting one! I always see lots of different birds when I go on runs or when I am at the lake. I would love to own another one day.

[Speaker 2] Well, once I get mine, you should come and visit!

[Speaker 2] I just got a pet fish for my 18th birthday yesterday from my parents.

[Speaker 1] My last birth day celebration was when am 3 years old.

[Speaker 2] You should celebrate more. What is your favorite color? Mine is orange!

[Speaker 1] My parents who adopted after losing my biological ones are poor.

[Speaker 2] Ah I feel you, my boyfriend broke up with me two months ago and I am sad.

[Speaker 1] What reason did he give you for breaking up with you?

[Speaker 2] He gave me no reason, he just left and didn't even text me!

[Speaker 1] Sorry, think he is not fit for you with his weird characters.

[Speaker 2] Yeah he was weird, anyways I gotta go soon see ya!

[Speaker 1] Okay god will make every thing alright for you

[Speaker 2] Thank you, have a nice day, bye!

My last birthday celebration was when I was 3 years old.

I like hiking and watching the sunset.

I turned 18 yesterday. I just got a pet fish as a birthday present from my parents.

My favorite color is orange.

My boyfriend broke up with me two months ago. I feel sad about my breakup. My boyfriend left me suddenly and he is weird.

[Speaker 1] How is your pet fish? What kind of fish is it?

[Speaker 2] I got a betta fish. It is a so pretty and bright colors. I wish I could send a picture for you to see.

[Speaker 1] I would like that. I can't afford a fish myself.

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry have you tried looking for a job to help out.

[Speaker 1] Yeah but it's hard because I don't have a car and I'm far from public transportation.

[Speaker 2] That's sucks. If I lived closer I would help you get to and from work.

[Speaker 1] That's nice. Thank you. Are you going to college?

[Speaker 2] Yes, still down about my break up. Can't wait to get to college and meet new people and get over him.

[Speaker 1] I hear ya. Relationships are tough. I like being alone better.

[Speaker 2] Being alone is nice then I don't have to worry about making sure the other person doesn't mind if I do something.

[Speaker 1] And you avoid making some else responsible for your self-esteem. That's what I always end up doing.

[Speaker 2] Very true my self-esteem has been 100% since we break up.

My parents have no money to give me. I want to try window shopping. I live with foster parents who are poor. I lost my biological parents. I prefer being alone.

I can't afford a fish.

I like hiking and watching the sunset.

I turned 18 yesterday. I just got a pet betta fish as a birthday present from my parents.

My favorite color is orange.

I will be attending college.

[Speaker 1] What do you plan to study in college?

[Speaker 2] I've been thinking about becoming a Social Worker. I would love to work with children and families.

[Speaker 1] I really appreciate the social workers who help me and my foster parents. They're all really good people. Do you think it would be difficult seeing people having a hard time like that?

[Speaker 2] That is great to hear about your experience. It isn't always so positive, and that is one of the main reasons I am drawn to it. I want to create that positive space in such a trying time. It will definitely be a challenge to separate emotions. Do you keep in touch with any Social Workers from your past?

[Speaker 1] Not really; they have a heavy caseload so they're usually very busy with the kids and families they're working with now. I think with work like that, it would be super helpful to have a lot of fun hobbies to do in your off time like video games or meeting up with friends.

[Speaker 2] That's is a great suggestion! Do you have any favorite hobbies that help you escape or relax?

[Speaker 1] Well I don't get to go out much with transportation and money being an issue, but I do really like to cook. It's not much of an escape but I get to be creative and then, best part, I get to eat whatever I made!

[Speaker 2] That is the perfect hobby, and creativity is so fulfilling. Do you have a favorite dish that you make?

[Speaker 1] It's a little boring but I like spaghetti. I guess it's a comfort meal. What's your favorite food?

[Speaker 2] I'm not that great of a cook, but I am actually making spaghetti tonight. I'm all about the comfort foods since the breakup.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, how are you doing with that? Are you over that jerk yet?

[Speaker 2] I'm getting there. It just seemed so sudden and out of nowhere, but now that time has passed, I realize that there were signs. Like I said, he was weird. LOL

I can't afford a fish.

I don't have a car. I'm far from public transportation. I do not get to go out much.

I have not kept in touch with my social workers.

I like to cook. I like spaghetti.

I like hiking and watching the sunset.

My favorite color is orange.

I will be attending college.

I am thinking about becoming a social worker. I want to work with children and families.

I am not a great cook.  I am making spaghetti tonight. I enjoy comfort foods.

[Speaker 1] I actually got a chance to go out yesterday.  I did some window shopping.

[Speaker 2] Good! You've been wanting to. See anything worth saving up for?

[Speaker 1] I'd like to get into long distance running, so I saw a pair of running shoes I would like. But it would take me a while to save up and pay for them. Have you been window shopping recently?

[Speaker 2] I have, yes! I was looking for larger aquariums for my fish. They are too expensive for me, but I am hoping I can talk my parents into getting it for me.

[Speaker 1] I bet your fish would appreciate it! So have you been hiking lately? I'd love to try it sometime.

[Speaker 2] Not recently. I got back together with my boyfriend and he has been wanting me to spend time at his place the last couple of days. It is hard to keep up with men and hobbies LOL

[Speaker 1] That is why I just don't get into relationships, I can hardly take care of myself, there is no way I could keep up with another person! Are you glad you are back together?

[Speaker 2] Very glad. I know he is weird, but sometimes I get so lonely and it is nice to have someone there. Maybe I can talk him into hiking with me so I don't have to give that up.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like something relaxing for you two to do together. You should take him on one of your favorite hikes.

[Speaker 2] I think I will! What about you. Been doing any cooking lately?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I made spaghetti for myself last night. I wish I could afford more food so I could really branch out with my cooking.

[Speaker 2] Do your foster parents like your spaghetti. Maybe you can talk them into getting some new ingredients so you can make something new for the entire family. Rice dishes are often cheap AND a hit!

I can't afford a fish.

I like to cook. I like spaghetti.

I like long distance running.

I am not in a relationship.

I like hiking and watching the sunset.

My favorite color is orange.

My boyfriend and I were broken up two months ago. My boyfriend left me suddenly and he is weird. I do not live with my boyfriend. I got back together with my boyfriend.

I will be attending college.

[Speaker 1] I tried a new Chinese recipe, you should come over to try it!

[Speaker 2] Oh, very nice. What is it?

[Speaker 1] Chicken and broccoli... easy peasy! You want me to send it to you?

[Speaker 2] Please do! I'd love to see if I can make it myself!

[Speaker 1] You will find it very easy and tasty! It's a really healthy dish too! How are you and your boyfriend doing?

[Speaker 2] We're doing fine, I guess. Things are still a bit shaky since the breakup. Have you considered getting into a relationship with anyone?

[Speaker 1] I really want a relationship, but my circumstances will have to change radically before I can. First of all, I need to find a job locally, somewhere my parents can take me every day. Then, I need to save for a used car so I can get out more often, meet some new people...

[Speaker 2] Ah, that makes sense. What sort of jobs have you been considering?

[Speaker 1] Anything! I'd dig ditches if it would get me on with my life! There might be something opening at the gas station market a couple of miles down the road. I've got an application in.

[Speaker 2] Oh, excellent! Man, I wish I could help you out... too bad I'm about to be a broke college student.

[Speaker 1] At least you're on a career track! I'm past high school age, but not yet 21, and have NO prospects for further education at present.

[Speaker 2] I'm really sorry to hear that. Have you thought of going to college? If not, is it because of financial reasons? There are an abundance of financial aid programs out there that could help you out. I can send you a list of resources if you'd like.

Olive garden is my favorite restaurant.

I really like performing handstands and back flips on the balance beam.

[Speaker 1] Hi! Do you know any restaurants hiring?

[Speaker 2] Hello! I just went to this great italian place that needs servers.

[Speaker 1] Perfect! I'll go apply. I might bring my sister too.

[Speaker 2] Great! What activities do you like to do outside of work?

[Speaker 1] I like to listen to country music and play sports. You?

[Speaker 2] I also love sports! Gymnastics is my favorite.

[Speaker 1] I prefer basketball. Team sports are fun.

[Speaker 2] Agreed. Even though gymnastics is an individual event, it is a team sport.

[Speaker 1] That is true. My sister used to do gymnastics.

[Speaker 2] That is great! I'd love to talk to her about it sometime.

[Speaker 1] That would be awesome. You could come by the restaurant if you like italian.

[Speaker 2] Great idea! I love italian food, especially garlic bread.

[Speaker 1] Me too! We could split a basket!

[Speaker 2] Definitely! After a four hour workout, bring on the bread!

[Speaker 1] I'll need the carbs to have energy for basketball!

[Speaker 2] What position do you play?

I will apply at the Italian restaurant.

I like country music. I like basketball. I like team sports. I play basketball.

I have a sister. She did gymnastics.

I like garlic bread.

I know an Italian restaurant that needs servers.

I like sports. I like gymnastics. I like team sports.

I work out.

[Speaker 1] I stopped in about that server job.

[Speaker 2] Oh really? How did that go?

[Speaker 1] I think the interview went well.  I mentioned my love of garlic bread, which seemed to help.  The owner also had a daughter who was in gymnastics with my sister back in the day, so hopefully that all helps.

[Speaker 2] Haha! That's funny. Great job. And believe me, there's plenty of leftover garlic bread so they'll appreciate it not going to waste!

[Speaker 1] Good thing that we both keep active since we eat so many carbs.  How's the new cardio regimen been working for you?

[Speaker 2] It's been going well thanks! Feels good to get into a rhythm with it. How's basketball been going?

[Speaker 1] I tweaked my hamstring the other day in a pickup game with some guys down at the gym.  And of course we were playing the team full of mouthy Yankees fans.  I'm so glad you don't root for them!  How is your team doing in the standings?

[Speaker 2] That sucks, I'm so sorry! I hope you feel better soon. We've definitely had better years but as long as we're not at the very bottom I'll take it, haha!

[Speaker 1] I hear ya.  You should try being from Chicago and a Cubs fan...bottom of the heap every year, World Series champs, then back to the bottom of the division.  I swear if sports were a country song, Cubs fans would lose their job, their girl, their dog, and their truck.

[Speaker 2] Hahaha oh ain't that the truth! Living life the hard way, that's for sure. Builds character and all that, I guess. Or at least makes the winning all the sweeter when it finally happens.

[Speaker 1] That's very true.  No matter what sport you play or team you cheer for, that's the lesson you learn.  I learned that early in life playing basketball, baseball and soccer.

[Speaker 2] I definitely wish I'd done more sports as a kid. Team sports are so much more than just playing with other people. You learn so much about others and yourself.

I will apply at the Italian restaurant as a server. I had a good interview.

I have a sister who did gymnastics.

My sister used to do gymnastics when she was younger.

I try to stay active because I eat a lot of carbs. I love garlic bread.

I hurt my hamstring playing basketball.

I am from Chicago. I root for the Cubs, which can be an emotional rollercoaster.

I played basketball, soccer and baseball when I was younger.

I like gymnastics. I like team sports.

I like Italian food. I like garlic bread. I eat a lot of carbohydrates. I'm on a new cardio regimen.

I work out.

I don't like the Yankees. The team I love is doing pretty well so far this year.

I didn't play many team sports as a child. Team sports help you learn about yourself.

[Speaker 1] My hamstring is really starting to bother me.

[Speaker 2] While working out I have hurt my hamstring too. Have you been using ice?

[Speaker 1] Yes but the ice doesn't seem to be helping too much. Do you have any other types of favorite food?

[Speaker 2] I really love pasta. Especially chicken alfredo.

[Speaker 1] I like a good chicken alfredo too. Extra cheesy is the best. Do you have any suggestions on good stretches to avoid injuring your hamstring?

[Speaker 2] I think lunges will help you!

[Speaker 1] When my hamstring is feeling better I will have to incorporate lunges into my routine.

[Speaker 2] I think that is a great idea! You can even try it now and it will probably help.

[Speaker 1] I think when I can move better I will do a couple of lunges. Do you like mushrooms they are really great sauteed in a bowl of homemade pasta.

I have a sister who did gymnastics.

I try to stay active because I eat a lot of carbs. I am going to add lunges to my workout routine.

I hurt my hamstring playing basketball.

I love garlic bread. I like extra cheesy chicken alfredo. I like mushrooms.

I like gymnastics. I like team sports.

I work out. I do lunges.

I love pasta and chicken alfredo.

[Speaker 1] I am going to see a basketball game this weekend. Then, I am going to try this new Italian restaurant with my sister.

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds like a great time! What do you think you'll order?

[Speaker 1] Ooh, I'm hoping they'll have some Gnocchi for me to try. It's really hard to find a good Gnocchi around me.

[Speaker 2] My mouth is watering already! Hey, I hope you don't mind if I ask the waiter to pull up a seat. I am dying for some Italian food.

[Speaker 1] Of course come on through, maybe they'll have a slice of Tiramisu or two.

[Speaker 2] Haha ever the poet. I might have to follow your lead and go for a run or something. Italian carbs are sooo good but they won't burn themselves off.

[Speaker 1] True that! I will join you for that run any day. How do you feel about a good swim though?

[Speaker 2] It's super tiring but I love the feeling of a full body workout that I get from it. Oh! We might have to wait a bit before we hop in the pool if we end up with leftovers. Italian food does not last long in my house.

[Speaker 1] Gotta hide it. Italian left overs may be the most sought after left overs. Probably the gold of the left overs world.

[Speaker 2] So true. It's a good thing that I don't have it all the time! Otherwise I'd be broke and fat.

[Speaker 1] I am considering taking a course in Italian cuisine so I make a mean chicken parmesan.

[Speaker 2] That sounds well worth whatever it takes to burn it off. I'd love to grab a bite next once you master the chicken parm.

I have a sister who did gymnastics.

I hurt my hamstring playing basketball.

I'm going to see a basketball game this weekend and then try a new Italian restaurant with my sister. I hope the Italian restaurant has Gnocchi. I love Italian leftovers. I am thinking about taking a course in Italian cuisine. I make good chicken parmesan.

I want to swim.

I like gymnastics. I like team sports.

I work out. I do lunges.

I love pasta and chicken alfredo. Gnocchi sounds good. I also love Italian leftovers.

Swimming is tiring but I enjoy the full body workout.

[Speaker 1] Do you know how to make any Italian food?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes, I can make several Italian dishes. I love pasta and make it probably once a week. My favorite is chicken alfredo.

[Speaker 1] That is also one of my favorites! Have you ever made home made gnocchi?

[Speaker 2] I never had actually, but I plan on attempting it soon. I usually buy the premade gnocchi, but I'm sure that it will taste way better if I make it from scratch.

[Speaker 1] I've always wanted to try and make it. I'm waiting on a good recipe that's tried and true. I have tried to make home made pasta.

[Speaker 2] Homedale pasta is the best. I had no idea what I was missing out on until I tried making spaghetti noodles from scratch one day. It is so much better than the dried stuff that you buy in a box.

[Speaker 1] I'd love some pointers. I'm not sure what my pasta turned out to be, but it wasn't pasta. I've got a automatic pasta maker on my wish list.

[Speaker 2] Those definitely help, they take a lot of the manual labor out of making pasta. What else do you like besides Italian food? I love Mexican food too.

[Speaker 1] Me too. My favorite are burritos and the red rice. Do you cook Mexican as well?

[Speaker 2] I do a little, but only basic stuff. I will make tacos, burritos, and quesadillas every now and then. I just love the simplicity in how you make them. They all use similar ingredients.

[Speaker 1] I agree. I have a very simple Mexican Chicken recipe I make with chicken, salsa and taco seasoning. You can use it for a filling or over rice.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I think I have done something similar to that too: chicken, salsa, and seasoning in a slow cooker for 6 hours. Then you can put it over rice or shred it and make tacos out of it. Very tasty.


I like meditation.

I'm a buddhist.

I live in alaska.

I quit my job to pursue my spirituality full time.

I only eat kosher.

I never broke a bone in my body ever in my life.

I'm a stunt double as my second job.

I was raised in a single parent household.

I read twenty books a year.

I do yoga to relax.

I believe in karma.

My home borders canada and the bering sea.

I left my previous employment to dedicate my life to religion.

I've special dietary restrictions.

I've not fractured a core part of myself.

My part time gig has me doing some pretty brave things.

My mom and dad divorced when I was young.

I've been know to finish almost two dozen novels in a twelve month period.

[Speaker 1] Good day to you! It is a overcast day here in alaska.

[Speaker 2] Hello! I was just in alaska not too long ago.

[Speaker 1] It is a beautiful place to be. I came here not too long ago.

[Speaker 2] They're filming cliffhanger 2 and I was there briefly as a double.

[Speaker 1] My parents first movie together was cliffhanger! I moved for a life change.

[Speaker 2] Interesting. I did a small part but had to return to my day job.

[Speaker 1] I up and quit my jobs. I am pursuing my spirituality full time. Alaska rocks!

[Speaker 2] Yes, it does. Feed your body and mind well and you'll be strong!

[Speaker 1] Yes! I studied buddhism first before I practicing. I meditate daily.

[Speaker 2] I read a lot on meditation and religions. What will you study next?

[Speaker 1] Right now I should be learning how to survive winters here. Not used to cold.

[Speaker 2] The food there's not as kosher as I would like it. Try working out.

[Speaker 1] The food is taking getting used to. I do work out daily.

[Speaker 2] Good. A strong body has always served me well in the stunt world.

I moved to Alaska not that long ago. I moved to Alaska for a life change. I love Alaska. My parents first movie together was Cliffhanger.

I studied Buddhism. I meditate daily.

I previously lived in a warm environment. I'm not used to the cold.

I work out daily.

I visited Alaska not that long ago. I love Alaska.

I eat kosher food.

I have a strong body. I do stunt work.

[Speaker 1] What do you do for your day job?

[Speaker 2] Like I said, I do stunt work.  Are you feeling more at peace now that you are in Alaska?

[Speaker 1] Stunt work must be very exciting. I'm at peace but still struggling with the weather

[Speaker 2] Hopefully it will warm up soon. I have seen beautiful pictures of Alaska in the summer.  So many wildflowers!  I imagine there are some fabulous trails to hike.  What do you do for your daily workouts?

[Speaker 1] Yes. I look forward to Summer. I do high intensity interval training for my daily workouts and a bit of yoga

[Speaker 2] I like HIIT training.  I feel like I accomplish a lot in a relatively short amount of time. I hope you'll soon be able to move your yoga outside onto a deck. Seems like that would be zen.

[Speaker 1] I can't wait .I do need more activities to help me fill my time. Maybe i could learn more about other religions

[Speaker 2] That would be very interesting!  I would bet it is fairly easy to find online comparative religion courses from various universities or even community colleges.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I'm sure there a many sources. The research itself should keep me busy. Do you recommend any religions?

[Speaker 2] I have friends of all different religions and there are parts of each that resonate with me and other parts that leave me thinking "um, what?" ha ha  For me I find a general peaceful and accepting nature to be the way to live.  It allows me to be receptive to different ideas. Were you raised in a particular faith?

[Speaker 1] Yes .I was raised Catholic but I'd love to continue my spiritual journey but learning about many more religions.

[Speaker 2] I was raised Christian and it is difficult for my family to see me exploring other faiths.  They don't understand why I am curious and feel I am turning on them by asking questions.

I moved to Alaska not that long ago for a life change. I love Alaska. My parents first movie together was Cliffhanger.

I studied Buddhism. I meditate daily. I like learning about religions. I was raised Catholic.

I do stunt work. I was a double in the movie Cliffhanger 2. I have a day job. I had a small part in Cliffhanger 2.

I read a lot about meditation and religions. I eat kosher food. I was raised Christian.

[Speaker 1] The weather up here is finally warming up, I did my yoga on the porch this morning.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! Nothing beats doing yoga outdoors! What is your favorite time of day to do yoga?

[Speaker 1] My favorite time is the morning it helps me focus and stretches my body to get me ready for the day. What is HIIT training?

[Speaker 2] My favorite time of day to exercise is in the morning also. I call it 30 before 7:30 because I try to get in at least 30 minutes of HIIT before then. HIIT is High Intensity Interval Training. It is short bursts of working out as hard as you can, followed by short periods of resting. Alternating the two back and forth. It'll wake you up first thing in the morning for sure! Have you ever tried anything like that?

[Speaker 1] Yes I have. It is a pretty effective work. I was wondering what was your day job?

[Speaker 2] I'm an EMT during the day. It's tough work but definitely rewarding. And requires the fitness. What about yourself?

[Speaker 1] I am not working at the moment. I am focusing on my spirituality full time. Being here in Alaska closer to nature awakens feelings and desires to be closer to nature and the beyond. Have you ever had a spiritual awakening?

[Speaker 2] Wow that is amazing! I did actually, almost a year ago I was introduced to Abraham Hicks, and I've worked with a few spiritual coaches since then. I'm always studying the law of attraction. Do you have any books or spiritual guides you'd recommend me looking into?

[Speaker 1] The power of now, The spiritual guide which disentangles the soul and the book of joy are pretty good reads

[Speaker 2] That's great! Have you read The Secret?

[Speaker 1] No I have heard of it. Is it a good read?

[Speaker 2] It is! It's what many of the spiritual leaders base their teachings upon. It's kind of the holy grail of spirituality.

I work out daily. I do HIIT and yoga daily. My favorite time to do yoga is in the morning.

I have read the power of now, the spiritual guide. I have not read the Secret.  I have heard of the book The Secret.

I have a strong body. I like HIIT training. My favorite time to exercise is in the morning.  I do HITT exercise before 7:30 each morning.

I work as an EMT.

I had a spiritual awakening about a year ago.  I worked with the spiritual coach Abraham Hicks.

I read The Secret and enjoyed it.

[Speaker 1] Tell me more about your spiritual awakening.

[Speaker 2] Well, it had a lot to do with the location and the accoutrements of the event. A very strange experience indeed.

[Speaker 1] Where did this experience happen? Does the environment make much difference?

[Speaker 2] At the time I was in the hills outside a small village in Peru. I payed for a 'Shaman' to take me into the hills so that I could have the experience that I was looking for. I would say the location matters a lot. You always want to be in a safe location during your spiritual awakening.

[Speaker 1] I agree. I am very spitirual but I think my journey has been more gradual than an awakening experience. I feel more grounded and centered with every day that practice.

[Speaker 2] I agree with that sentiment. All things in moderation right. Do you find that yoga helps you to feel more spiritual ,or in a sense, 'closer to god'?

[Speaker 1] I don't believe in a god per say, but I do feel much closer to the earth and myself during yoga.

[Speaker 2] Oh I bet, especially in Alaska I'm sure that feeling must be amazing!

[Speaker 1] During the light hours of the year it's wonderful, but we have months of darkness where I live and it can difficult to maintain that sense of spirituality.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure! It must get pretty sleepy over there. Months of hibernation huh.

[Speaker 1] haha yea. That's one of the reasons I had to quit my job because it was very difficult to keep my sleep schedule on track when there is no daylight. I'm sure you could handle it though, you seem tough.

[Speaker 2] I could try but I'm afraid I would also just spend days asleep haha.

I quit my jobs. I have no job. I'm pursuing my spirituality full time. I quit my job because of difficulty sleeping.

I do not believe in one God.

I work as an EMT.

I read The Secret and enjoyed it.

I had a strange spiritual experience. I traveled to Peru and purchased the services of a shaman in hopes of having a spiritual awakening.

[Speaker 1] I watched a lecture by Marianne Williamson today that really inspired me to explore my spirituality even more.

[Speaker 2] Oh interesting. What kinds of things do you think you'll do? More yoga or reading? Or something entirely different?

[Speaker 1] I'll probably look for more lectures to watch and maybe that will lead to some interesting books to read.

[Speaker 2] Ah okay. There are probably some good podcasts out there, too. Have you thought of taking a trip somewhere? Peru was absolutely amazing.

[Speaker 1] Oh, tell me more about your experience with the shaman there, that sounds like it was a very eye-opening experience. do you try ayahuasca?

[Speaker 2] I did not, but I considered it. You know it's funny how I found the shaman. You'd think that stuff is so old school that it'd be hard, but they're totally online now and you can book them that way.

[Speaker 1] That's very convenient. I wonder if you can do the entire experience online, like a virtual meeting or something.

[Speaker 2] Maybe, but there's definitely something powerful about being there in person. I can't really explain it; it's an energy thing.

[Speaker 1] Is there a language barrier when you meet a shaman in Peru or does language not matter when it comes to these types of things?

[Speaker 2] Well, I speak some Spanish so that helps quite a bit.

[Speaker 1] What else did you do in Peru, did you exercise at all or climb any mountains?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I did a lot of hiking. There are some beautiful places to see down there. You should go.

[Speaker 2] Sure, my mom is my best friend and loves volunteering like you. You will love her when you meet someday

[Speaker 1] I mostly volunteer because of my Faith, not because I enjoy it so much.

[Speaker 2] What do you enjoy doing?

[Speaker 1] My great passion is playing piano.

[Speaker 2] Wow, my older sister is excited to learn how to play a piano. She would love to see you play

[Speaker 1] Actually I don't really like to perform in front of people. I just teach it and play for myself.

[Speaker 1] I try to make it. I love playing and listening to music. In fact I like Travis Scott too. I always listen to music while travelling. Travelling is my most favorite thing to do actually. Recently I have been to Italy. Such a beautiful country I must say. Do you like travelling?

[Speaker 2] You sure are talented. Yeah music is a wonderful thing, i would like to go to one of his concerts.  Omg Italy that is my dream to go there. How long was you there for?

[Speaker 1] Yeah such a dreamy place it is. I stayed there for a week. Travelled in beautiful city of Rome. You must visit Italy when you get a chance. How is your sister doing?

[Speaker 2] Italy is defiantly on my list of places i would like to travel too. And my sister is starting to get better at playing thank you for asking.

[Speaker 2] Since school is off, our summer league has earlier practice.  It's supposed to be over at 2:30 PM.

[Speaker 1] Perfect! Definitely if you can come you should! How is basketball going? Team looking good this year?

[Speaker 2] I don't want to brag or jinx us too much, but we are looking pretty good. We have a couple all-staters on the team!  I think we are going to be the team to beat!

[Speaker 1] Love to hear that! Keep grinding you are a beast! What position are you playing this summer?

[Speaker 2] I am going to spend most of my time as the 2 guard, but I move to 3 in some sets.  They said if we win the league, we can play in a district wide competition and if we win that, we could represent our team against international competition.  It's not quite Italy, but I could play an Italian team!

[Speaker 1] Is the tournament going to be held into the states? You need to get to Italy as soon as possible! It is amazing!

[Speaker 2] I guess they alternate and this year it's going to be in Texas, but next year is supposed to be in Europe. If I'm still playing, who knows?  I heard they have pro basketball leagues there.  Did you attend any games?

[Speaker 1] I did not attend any games,  I mostly took in the food and music which was fantastic!

[Speaker 2] Oh, I can't wait to go.  I keep nagging my parents about it.  I think they are really considering it.  Our neighbor Mr. Puccini actually has relatives there and said we could get cheap lodging.

I have a boyfriend.

I travel. I enjoy Travis Scott's music. I have stayed in Italy for a week.  I liked the food and music in Italy.

I have not attended any basketball games.

I go to basketball practice.

I have an older sister.

I've started in a diner part time.

I live three blocks' distance from the homeless shelter. My sister leaves a three-block distance from the homeless shelter, too. I would like to volunteer at a homeless shelter.

I am out of school for the summer.  I am in a summer league for basketball.

I have all-staters on my basketball team.  My basketball team is really good. I mostly play the second guard position in basketball.  If we win our district competition, we could play an Italian team.

My basketball tournament will be in Texas this year and in Europe next year. I'm excited to go to Italy.  I want my parents to let me go to Italy.  My neighbor, Mr. Puccini, has relatives in Italy that will help me get cheap lodging.

[Speaker 1] How did your basketball practice go?  Does it look like you'll win the next game?

[Speaker 2] It went pretty okay! i'm hopeful we have a shot at winning but it depends on how good the other team is, which we don't know yet. are you a sports fan at all?

[Speaker 1] I do watch MLB and NBA. I played little league when I was kid. Some of my relatives have played in the minors. We were really a baseball family growing up.

[Speaker 2] that's awesome! baseball is the one thing I don't watch much, probably because I still do basketball in the summer. that's so cool that your family has played professionally! did you ever get to go behind the scenes or have VIP access because of that?

[Speaker 1] Once when there was a regional championship game the local team was playing in. Are you excited about possibly competing in Italy?

[Speaker 2] that's so amazing! you must have been so exited to attend! and yeah I think it will be an amazing experience. I never dreamed sports could take me across the world, you know?

[Speaker 1] I lived in Europe for a while when I was a teenager, visited France and Italy. You'll just love it! You might even decide to stay there for a time when you're an adult. There are jobs available for English teachers.

[Speaker 2] that's really cool to know. do you speak italian or french?

[Speaker 1] I speak a little of both and read a bit more than a little, but I don't speak well enough to get along in a conversation unaided by a dictionary or phrase book.

[Speaker 2] when you lived there did others use english with you mostly, then?

[Speaker 1] Pretty much. English is the preferred second language in much of Europe. It used to be French.

[Speaker 2] I hadn't realized that. guess I don't need to brush up on my italian after all!

[Speaker 1] I am so hungry I could eat anything.

[Speaker 2] Me too, just got done feeding my horses and have some chili cooking

[Speaker 1] Send me over a pot of that chili. Eating for three here!

[Speaker 2] Eating for three? Are you having twins?!

[Speaker 1] You bet. The other tellers are throwing me a housewarming baby shower. Come on over.

[Speaker 2] Well I can certainly bring the chili then! What part of the country you in?

[Speaker 1] We are in georgia and my kids are out there chasing lightning bugs.

[Speaker 2] I'm in kentucky myself, so kind of far

[Speaker 1] Would still be nice to have you over at the new house. You'll love it.

[Speaker 2] New house? That is exciting. I live on a horse ranch

[Speaker 1] I've never been to a real horse ranch before. What is it like?

[Speaker 2] I love riding so its great. Have 3 arabians myself

[Speaker 1] Do they have names and would you show my children how to ride?

[Speaker 2] They do. Siegfried, beowulf, and hector. And absolutely.

[Speaker 1] I'll have my hands full so anything to keep the older ones busy will be great

[Speaker 2] Could always have them help me tend the fields, would keep them busy

I have housewarming baby shower.

We are in Georgia. I have kids. I have a new house.

I've never been to a real horse ranch before.

I have horses. I  have some chili.

I live in Kentucky.

I live on a horse ranch. I love riding. I have 3 Aabian horses named Siegfried, Beowulf, and Hector.

[Speaker 1] We want to invite you to our future baptism. What do you think?

[Speaker 2] That's sounds great!  Is the baby a boy or a girl?

[Speaker 1] A boy! But as long as baby is healthy that's all we care about. We were going to leave it a surprise but then realized it made planning the shower and baptism a little difficult.

[Speaker 2] Congratulations!  I would love to have your family come to my horse ranch in Kentucky.  I'm sure you would enjoy meeting my horses!

[Speaker 1] I would love that! I wish I learnt to ride horses when I was a kid, so the earlier I can get mine used to it the better.

[Speaker 2] Kids tend to fall in love with horses and it becomes a life-long passion.  That's what happened to me!

[Speaker 1] I would love that to happen. Although I'd need to buy some land if my kids ever wanted their own horses, that's for sure!

[Speaker 2] Does your new house have a lot of land?  Maybe you could keep a horse there.

[Speaker 1] Sadly not. We have a good sized yard, but it wouldn't be fair to keep a horse or two on it.

[Speaker 2] There are some other options.  I used to keep my three horses in a rented stable until we bought our farm.

[Speaker 1] Oh really? You'll have to tell me more. That seems like it could be a good middle ground, especially as I only JUST bought this house!

[Speaker 2] It is a great option and the best part is, that the stable will also help you take care of your horses when you're not around!

We are in Georgia. I have kids.

I own a new house with a good sized yard, but not one big enough for horses. I just recently bought this house.

I have horses. I  have some chili.

I live in Kentucky on a horse ranch. I love riding. I have 3 Aabian horses named Siegfried, Beowulf, and Hector.

I live in Kentucky, on a horse ranch. I have horses.

I fell in love with horses as a kid and have maintained my passion for them.

[Speaker 1] Do you have any recommendations for farms near me that I could get started at?

[Speaker 2] I was out riding my horses today and I was thinking about you.  Have you had a chance to learn how to ride yet?

[Speaker 1] No I haven't.  I really wanted to but then we decided to have another baby and I just thought it will be better if I wait until after delivery. I guess I will be learning with the kids. Hopefully we can own horses one day.

[Speaker 2] Horses are amazing with kids!  You definitely want to start them off young and they will fall in love!

[Speaker 1] I agree. It has been my dream to ride horses since I was a kid.  I can't wait for all of us to learn more about them.  Hopefully I can come to you for advice.  How are your horses doing?

[Speaker 2] My horses are doing great, thanks!  I actually give riding lessons on my ranch, I would love for your family to come out to meet us.

[Speaker 1] That would be a great way to start! We will definitely plan a trip to Kentucky.  And we can learn how to take care of horses from the master! Is it very hard to take care of them and manage the farm?

[Speaker 2] For sure, taking care of horses is a lot of work but it is very rewarding!  Have you even been to a horse farm before?

[Speaker 1] I did but only during a school field trip. My parents were always to busy with work to take us and then when I grew up, my life got busy.

[Speaker 2] I wonder if there are many places to ride horses in Georgia?

[Speaker 1] I started researching our area and there are couple of farms not too far away.  I would love to buy land one day and own a couple of horses myself. What other animals do you have on your farm?

[Speaker 2] We are mainly a horse farm, but we have a couple of goats and a big fat pig.

I have housewarming baby shower. I will be having a baptism. I am going to be having a baby boy. I am pregnant.

We are in Georgia. I have kids.

I didn't learn to ride horses as a kid. I want my kids to get used to riding horses when they're young. I would need to buy land for horses if my kids ever wanted to own them. I have been to a horse farm once.

I have three horses that I used to rent a stable for before I bought a farm to house them at. I have some chili.

I live in Kentucky, on a horse ranch. I have goats and a pig.

[Speaker 1] We have planned a trip to Kentucky after the baby is born!

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a hassle but you can't go anywhere without her haha. I'm sure you guys will have fun. I would love to have you guys over at my ranch.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a blast! I'm sure the baby would enjoy it.

[Speaker 2] The horses are very gentle so I'm sure she'd like to watch them. I think it would be a good exposure to big animals for her.

[Speaker 1] What are your horses names?

[Speaker 2] Siegfried, Beowulf, and Hector. Hector can be a brat sometimes but they're all good at heart.

[Speaker 1] What awesome names! I really hope the baby enjoys the company of horses. Though, it might be a bit too much to get enough land and then take care of the horses on top of the baby. Maybe when she's a bit older we'll look into it more seriously.

[Speaker 2] It is a lifestyle. You kind of have to go all in with horses for them to thrive. But hey, you can always come to the ranch for a free trial!

[Speaker 1] I'll definitely have to take you up on that. It's been so long since I've been to a horse farm!

[Speaker 2] Awesome! You'll have a nice, hearty breakfast waiting for you each morning! You'll need it too because I might ask for your help mucking the stalls.

[Speaker 1] Of course! I would love to get my hands dirty in there feel free to call on me at any time.

[Speaker 2] I'm excited to see all of you!! Oh man... I have so much work to do to get the ranch ready. It'll be worth it though.

We are in Georgia. I have kids.

I plan to take a trip to Kentucky after the child is born.

My horses are gentle. My horse Hector can be a brat.

I eat a hearty breakfast. I have stall for my horses.

[Speaker 1] We both like your horse names and wonder if you had any suggestions for the baby's name?

[Speaker 2] Hmm... did you want something along the lines of the horses' names? Unique, powerful and historical?

[Speaker 1] Sure--what kind of powerful and historical names did you have in mind?

[Speaker 2] Hercules is a good one and very unusual. Also Atlas. Apollo. What do you think?

[Speaker 1] These are all great names. Or maybe I can name the baby after one of your horses, Hector.

[Speaker 2] I wouldn't mind that at all! And Hector would love it! He's got quite an ego!

[Speaker 1] Excellent! Hector it is! When the baby's old enough, I'll take him to see your horse! That'll be a cool moment for sure.

[Speaker 2] Oh yes! And Hector is very gentle so Hector can ride Hector when Hector is older. Hahahaha.

[Speaker 1] Haha, how great is that?! Maybe we can hire a photographer to capture the moment for us. It'll be great!

[Speaker 2] Oh definitely! I can't wait for you to visit the farm. You will love it.

[Speaker 1] I bet I would! And I bet my kids would also go wild for your farm. They'd love to ride your horses and just roam around.

[Speaker 2] Let's plan to get together soon so they kids can meet the horses.

[Speaker 1] I cant wait to be able to have real food once I get out

[Speaker 2] I bet. What will be the first thing you will eat


I've a dogs.
I'm a woman.
I enjoy gardening and walking outdoors.
I work as a school teacher.

I go to the gym regularly.

I like doing the treadmill and rowing machine.

Eating is something I do when I'm bored.

I have short hair.

I've pets.
I identify as a female.
I love sun and plants.
I'm employed in the education industry.

I'm in great shape!.

I love going to the gym.

I've trouble with food when I don't have anything to do.

I get a buzz cut every two weeks.

[Speaker 1] Hello, I am teaching at a school right now. How are you?

[Speaker 2] Teaching? What grade? I am good just getting in my daily gym session.

[Speaker 1] 9th graders. I'm a woman teacher.

[Speaker 2] Well that's certainly interesting. Almost lunch time, I only eat when I'm bored though.

[Speaker 1] I would be eating all the time then haha! I am a gardener and hiker.

[Speaker 2] Where do you like to hike? The only hiking I do is on the treadmill.

[Speaker 1] I like hiking to dog parks with my dogs

[Speaker 2] Ew, dogs! Do not like them, only thing in common is short hair!

[Speaker 1] Ya I do not like dogs either. I prefer parrots.

[Speaker 2] Parrots? That's quite exotic, I only have time for the gym anymore.

[Speaker 1] Sometimes I bring my parrots to the gym while I lift weights.

[Speaker 2] Wow I've never heard of a gym that allows parrots, must be nice!

[Speaker 1] Ya, they supply cages and smaller weights for the birds.

[Speaker 2] That's hard to imagine, all I can see is them pulling at my short hair.

[Speaker 1] You can buy little muzzles for them so they do not do that.

[Speaker 2] That right there's a brilliant idea, I am going to make dinner now, I am bored.

I teach 9th grade. I am a woman.

I am a gardener and hiker. I like to hike with my dogs at the park.

I do not hike.
I do not like dogs.
I only have time for the gym.

[Speaker 1] I found a gym near you that allows parrots if you want to check it out

[Speaker 2] No way! I can't believe that's even a thing! Of course I'd like to check it out!

[Speaker 1] Yes I was shocked when I found out as well!  I agree, lets go next week to check it out.

[Speaker 2] Sounds good. I need a good workout anyway, and a change of scenery sounds excellent. I just hope the birds aren't too loud!

[Speaker 1] They shouldn't be to loud!  Hey, maybe now you can get a parrot since they let them into the gym.  That way we can still workout but our parrots can hang out also.

[Speaker 2] That's an idea, lol. Don't parrots live a really long time? I'm not sure if I'm ready for that responsibility!

[Speaker 1] It's a huge responsibility but so totally worth it!  When you feel ready to get one I will help you learn how to care for it.  Have you gone to the gym today?  Since I can't make it to the gym, I think I will go for a hike.

[Speaker 2] That's a good idea. I'd come with you but I hate hiking, lol. I just know I'll fall and injure myself, and then that's my workouts over!

[Speaker 1] I understand!  I would have invited you but I knew you wouldn't come because you don't like dogs either.  I am going to work on getting you to warm up to dogs though lol

[Speaker 2] That's fair. And I'm definitely more open to a dog than a parrot, lol!

[Speaker 1] Well I am happy to hear that.  Honestly, I need to grade my students homework before I even attempt this hike though.

[Speaker 2] Good idea to get that done first. You definitely won't be in the mood to do it afterwards!

I teach 9th grade. I am a woman.

I do not like dogs, i like parrots. i bring my parrots with me to the gym. I have dogs.

I can help people learn how to care for parents.

I do not hike. I hate hiking.

I only have time for the gym. I need a good workout and would like a change of scenery.

[Speaker 1] I haven't worked out yet today if you'd like to try that gym together!

[Speaker 2] I haven't hit the gym yet today either. That sounds like a good plan. Do you want one that offers classes?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I do. I like classes because I like working out with other people, and my parrots.

[Speaker 2] I have never been to a gym with someone and their parrot. This will be interesting. Do you like water aerobics?

[Speaker 1] Parrots are friendlier than so many other animals, like dogs. I have tried it before. I actually prefer going out on hikes in the nearby mountains to spending time in the pool doing water aerobics.

[Speaker 2] Outdoors is always nice. I bet your parrot wouldn't like the pools anyways. I am a little afraid of committing to a pet. I think I would do better with a dog than a parrot but I need more research before I make that desicion.

[Speaker 1] Why don't you like to hike? I understand your fear of commitment. Dogs can be great friends, but parrots are simply my preference.

[Speaker 2] I just like the gym better because of the air conditioning. I don't like to be too hot. I bet a parrot is a good pet. I just like dogs the best out of all the pet options. How long have you had your parrot?

[Speaker 1] I like the loyalty of the parrot. It is a gym buddy who can lift heavy and spot you, too. I have had my parrot for 6 years now.

[Speaker 2] Wow 6 years. Do you take your parrot to other places too?

[Speaker 1] Yes I can take him outdoors to the park or on hikes. I am not afraid of him flying away and leaving me. I trust him. I got him shortly after my wife passed away.

[Speaker 2] What a good friend and pet. What is his name? I can't believe he is that loyal that he won't fly away.

I teach 9th grade. I am a woman.

I do not like dogs, i like parrots. i bring my parrots with me to the gym. I have had my parrot for 6 years. I have dogs.

My wife passed away.

I do not hike. I hate hiking.

[Speaker 1] I am going to take my dogs out for a long walk after I grade papers.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a great idea. What kind of dogs are they?

[Speaker 1] Honestly, I've heard it called Heinz-57  - they are mutts from the shelter. You been thinking more about dogs too?

[Speaker 2] Nah, I don't think I'll ever be a dog owner. I might consider a cat.

[Speaker 1] Dogs, parrots, you do have your preferences! One step at a time I suppose.  So cats you are open to?

[Speaker 2] Yea. I''ve heard that they are low key and not too much work unlike dogs and parrots which want your attention all the time.

[Speaker 1] From the work I've done at the shelter before, they all have different levels. Dogs are definitely need direct interaction yes. What do you enjoy doing, overall?

[Speaker 2] What do you mean by that?

[Speaker 1] I am trying to understand things you enjoy, as we discuss things you may not be so keen on. What hobbies do you have?

[Speaker 2] I like to lift weights. I might try to get into yoga. I also travel.

[Speaker 1] I have a set of weights. They are dusty now. Where did you last travel to?

[Speaker 2] Why are they dusty? I went back packing in Europe. Probably why I am so over hiking right now.

I teach 9th grade. I am a woman.

I do not like dogs, i like parrots. i bring my parrots with me to the gym. I have had my parrot for 6 years. My dogs are mutts from the shelter.

My wife passed away.

I don't use my weights often.

I do not hike. I hate hiking.

I do not like dogs. I'm not sure if I'm ready for the long-term responsibility of a pet. I'm more open to getting a dog as a pet than a parrot. I don't think I'll ever own a dog. I might get a cat. I like cats because they aren't too much work.

I like to lift weights. I might try yoga. I travel.

I went backpacking in Europe. I'm tired of hiking.

[Speaker 1] I am thinking about adopting another dog.

[Speaker 2] Oh. I thought you didn't like dogs, though.

[Speaker 1] Ha, yeah, I know. I don't really, but the ones I have were my wife's, and she got them from a shelter. They're getting older so I sometimes think about getting a younger one so I'll still feel a little like my wife is here.

[Speaker 2] Ah, gotcha. That's rather sweet. I know shelters have limited breed choices, but what type of breed were you thinking about?

[Speaker 1] Probably a small one. They seem so cat-like. I kind of like cats better than dogs.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I didn't know that. Why is that so?

[Speaker 1] Well, they don't need as much attention for one thing. They kind of like to do their own thing. I like that.

[Speaker 2] Ah, I see. So you want an animal, but don't want to be too involved with it? That's exactly what I want as well.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I don't that I'd put it THAT way. I just don't relish the idea of picking up yet even more waste during walks, that's all.

[Speaker 2] Ah, makes sense. Cats would certainly be ideal, then. They're very clean, and only poop in designated areas.

[Speaker 1] Ugh, makes me nuts when I do typos. That should've said "I don't THINK that..." Anyway, yeah, I like that they're clean.

[Speaker 2] Right. Do you think your dogs would get along with your cat, though?

[Speaker 1] I do not have any but charlie my puppy enjoys it

[Speaker 2] I have step children and am expecting triples in three months. What else do you like?

[Speaker 1] Wow! That many kids wouldn't fit in my honda civic.

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you tonight?

[Speaker 2] I am well. How is the evening going for you?

[Speaker 1] It is going okay, I'm in remission so every day is a blessing.

[Speaker 2] That is great news! How long have you been in remission?

[Speaker 1] Six years now. I taught myself to sew when I was diagnosed.

[Speaker 2] My father had cancer a few years ago. He's an avid sewer as well.

[Speaker 1] Very cool. What does he sew? I like to do costumes.

[Speaker 2] He sews quilts and in my spare time I sew as well.

[Speaker 1] I love to quilt, I do not do as much as I'd like.

[Speaker 2] That is too bad. I grew up in new york and needed warmth from quilts..

[Speaker 1] I've never been to new york, is it very cold there?

[Speaker 2] Yes it can be, thankfully I left and went to school at yale.

[Speaker 1] I am retired from the air force.

[Speaker 2] Cool! I have graduated from yale and looking forward to business school soon.

[Speaker 1] That's nice you are going to school. I take classes here and there.

[Speaker 2] School is important to me and my parents especially since I'm just starting out.

I used to have cancer.

I have been in remission for six years.

I like to sew costumes. I love to quilt.

I have never been to New York.

I am retired from serving in the air force.

I take classes.

My father had cancer.

I like to sew.

I am from New York.

I went to school at Yale. I plant to go to business school. School is important to me.

[Speaker 1] I just got a new sewing machine!

[Speaker 2] Oh awesome! Do you have any costumes in mind that you are going to work on?

[Speaker 1] I am excited! I do not have one picked out yet, any ideas for me? I would love a new challenging costume to try!

[Speaker 2] I think something really extravagant would be fun! Something like Marie Antoinette would be a challenge! I need to hop back on the sewing wagon, I have just been so busy looking at business schools.

[Speaker 1] That is a great idea. I will look for a costume pattern with that in mind. You should get back into sewing, it may help manage the stress of looking for a school! Any front runners on the school search?

[Speaker 2] No not yet. I keep looking at schools up north when I really need to be looking at school down south where it is warm! I think I might do some sort of embroidery project since I do not have the time to dedicate to a full pattern.

[Speaker 1] Going to school in the warm weather sounds like a good call if you ask me! I sure enjoy embroidery as well. I love the attention to detail that is needed. Sure helps me relax.

[Speaker 2] It's true! Does your sewing machine have any new features?

[Speaker 1] Yes it does, and honestly I have some learning to do! I need to read the manual so I can use it to its full potential. I can even hook it up to the computer to download embroidery patterns.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow! I can't believe all the things that are possible today! It would be really interesting to embroider the same pattern as the machine and see how much faster the machine is!

[Speaker 1] That is a fun idea. I may have to challenge myself with that next. I will send you picture of both, and you can tell me how I did compared to the machine.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a grand idea! I am sure your hand stitched one will have more heart. Do you have a favorite kind of quilt? I love crazy quilts! I hope to see some historic ones at the textile museum.

I used to have cancer.

I have been in remission for six years.

I have never been to New York.

My father had cancer.

I am from New York.

I've been researching business schools lately.

I like the south because it's warm.

[Speaker 1] I think my new sewing machine has brought me superpowers! I've been whipping out perfect items ever since I powered the baby up. Challenge me?

[Speaker 2] I have never used a sewing machine!

[Speaker 1] Oh my you should really use one. It cuts the work of sewing in half. Have you picked a school in the south you would like to attend?

[Speaker 2] I have heard that! What kind of sewing machine do you use? And no I have not yet

[Speaker 1] I like swinger sewing machines the brand has been around a long time and can be trusted for the quality of the machine. Which state in the south do you enjoy best. I really am partial to Georgia.

[Speaker 2] I love Florida. What do you like about Georgia?

[Speaker 1] The weather the people and the food. I really enjoy southern hospitality. What is it you like about Florida?

[Speaker 2] I am a big Disney fan

[Speaker 1] I have been to Disney world and I can see being in florida would make that happen for a big disney fan like yourself.

[Speaker 2] How many times have you been there?

[Speaker 1] I have only been once. How many times have you been to Disney World?

[Speaker 2] I have been there at least 30 times

I used to have cancer.

I have been in remission for six years.

I have never been to New York.

I like Georgia. I enjoy southern hospitality. I have only been to Disney World once.

My father had cancer.

I like to sew but haven't had time for it recently. I'm looking into an embroidery project. I have never used a sewing machine.

I am from New York.

I like the south because it's warm. I want to attend college in the south.  I have not chosen a college yet. I love Florida. I have been to Disney World at least 30 times.

[Speaker 1] I found an amazing used Singer sewing machine at a yard sale!  It needs some work but I can't wait to use it for quilting.

[Speaker 2] Oh perfect! I have some clothes in desperate need of fixing if you'd like to help me out.

[Speaker 1] Of course! I'm always up to help a friend in need. And plus with sewing I never regret a new project haha!

[Speaker 2] Excellent! Speaking of new projects, I would love to see what that machine can do. I have all sorts of quilt designs in my head, just waiting to be released.

[Speaker 1] Oh man, once you see it's capabilities I'm afraid you're gonna fall in love with it.

[Speaker 2] Oh uh... too late, I'm already in love. It's going to be tough to separate me from your sewing machine! I have a feeling that quilting is my true calling.

[Speaker 1] I'll have to take you to my local museum I can show you all the historic textiles we have. I find it pretty inspirational if I find myself in a rut.

[Speaker 2] I would love that. I could probably spend an entire day there!

[Speaker 1] If you're into that sort of thing I recommend going to your local antique store or thrift shop/flea market so you can familiarize your self with all of the different stitching patterns and what they mean - fabric wise.

[Speaker 2] That's an excellent suggestion. I will have to explore more of the stitching world sometime. There's something inherently relaxing about losing yourself in the patterns. Though I'm sure you know that full well.

[Speaker 1] A truly calming experience! I almost think of it as a form of meditation.

[Speaker 2] I can totally see that! It's great to have simple things you can enjoy like that. I know I need more of that with all of the school stress I currently have.

I used to have cancer.

I have been in remission for six years.

I have never been to New York.

I take classes. I recently got a new sewing machine which has embroidery features. I enjoy embroidery, especially the attention to detail necessary. Embroidery helps me relax.  I prefer Singer brand sewing machines. I found a sewing machine at a yard sale. I want to use it for quilting.

There is a local museum with historic textiles I can take you to for inspiration. Going to local antique and/or thrift stores is calming.

My father had cancer.

I am from New York.

I love crazy quits. I'd like to see some historic quilts in the textile museum. I have quilt designs in my head for your sewing machine. I like quilting.

I need calming experiences because I'm stressed about school.

[Speaker 1] Why are you stressed about school?

[Speaker 2] I haven't chosen a school to attend yet and it is very stressful.

[Speaker 1] You should go to Duke! I heard it has a really good business school. And then you'd be closer to Disney I think.

[Speaker 2] Yes Duke is a great school. It's not in Florida so not extremely close to Disney but definitely closer than New York or Connecticut. Which Disney park did you go to when you visited?

[Speaker 1] I only went to Magic Kingdom because we were only there for one day. But we got there when it opened and stayed till 11pm!

[Speaker 2] Oh wow! Magic Kingdom is one of my favorite parks. What was your favorite thing about it?

[Speaker 1] The food! And surprisingly I loved the People Mover ride in Tomorrowland. I liked seeing everything from up high.

[Speaker 2] I like the people mover too. The last time I was there, the people mover wasn't running though. Have you ever thought about sewing costumes?

[Speaker 1] Actually yes, I've been thinking about doing it more and selling costumes on Etsy.

[Speaker 2] That's a great idea. What kinds of costumes would you make?

[Speaker 1] Simple stuff for kids at first. Like fairies and princess dresses and mermaid tails.

[Speaker 2] What made you decide to start sewing?

[Speaker 2] Sweet. Why did you learn so many languages?

[Speaker 1] My father, who is an electrician, knows a lot of languages from his experience around the world.

[Speaker 2] Except in video games. I've never been out of the united states.

[Speaker 1] What is your opinion on chocolate bars? I love them haha

[Speaker 2] I love chocolate bars. Almost as much as I like rpgs

[Speaker 1] I play a few rpgs, but in my spare time I enjoy ping pong too!

[Speaker 2] I play rpgs all the time. I have a bit of an internet addiction.

[Speaker 1] I'm in college, so I feel the same sometimes.

[Speaker 2] I've this dream of getting a job where I can work from home.

[Speaker 1] Is there any rpgs that you think could let you do that? Haha

[Speaker 2] No. Unfortunately. I've tried to figure out a way to make a living at games.
