[Speaker 2] I'm a teacher. Maybe you are one of my students

[Speaker 1] Lol, maybe. I usually wear band shirts and ruffle sleeves, skinny jeans and leggings

[Speaker 2] I like to wear skinny jeans too, except not for church every sunday.

[Speaker 1] I agree. I also have really short hair. Do I sound familiar?

[Speaker 2] You do sound familiar. You always sit in the fri

[Speaker 1] Yes, I hope I'm your favorite student. I do get great grades.

[Speaker 2] You are. You should come with me next time I walk my dog

I have a dog. I like walking my dog.

I am skinny.

I am a teacher.

[Speaker 1] How was class today, did you reach anything interesting?

[Speaker 2] It was fun! It was the 100th day of school so all the kids dressed in something representing 100. How was school for you today?

[Speaker 1] Stressful, getting ready for final this time of year.  But looking forward to the break.  How do the kids dress in something representing 100?  That sounds like fun!

[Speaker 2] I bet! I remember being so glad when finals was over! Some kids will bring 100 pencils, some kids will put 100 stickers on a shirt, one kid dressed as if he was 100 years old, but my favorite was a kid who dress as a puppy and wore a shirt with 100 black dots on it to be a dalmation!

[Speaker 1] Oh that is great!!!   What grade do you teach?

[Speaker 2] I currently teach 2nd grade. I've taught 1st and kindergarten before but not sure I want to go higher than 2nd. After this, there may be more attitudes involved! Haha! What are you majoring in at college?

[Speaker 1] Agricultural Engineering.  Working on my bachelors.  But how I would long to be carefree again back in the 2nd grade!!!

[Speaker 2] Nice! That is definitely a lot of work but a great field! Do you think you will go for your masters afterwards? I enjoy getting to be with the kids everyday because they are always surprising me with how they think!

[Speaker 1] Yese, I plan on working towards my masters.  Spending your days with 2nd graders keep you yound and constantly on your toes for sure!

[Speaker 2] And gives me every excuse to keep up with the latest cartoons and Disney movies! Haha!

[Speaker 1] Kids are so creative at that age!

[Speaker 2] They are! I love hearing what comes out of their mouths and figuring out what made them think that!

I love dogs.

I thought school was stressful today. I am looking forward to break.

I have a dog. I like walking my dog.

I was always glad when finals were over. I teach 2nd grade.  I used to teach 1st grade and kindergarten.

I enjoy being with my students every day. I love hearing what the kids have to say.

[Speaker 1] I was accepted in to school to study for my master's degree today!

[Speaker 2] You must be thrilled. That sounds like a lot of work but it will pay off in the end.

[Speaker 1] I hope so. It seems like your education paid off for you, since you really like your students. Is second grade the one you want to stay teaching forever?

[Speaker 2] I think that's as far as I'd like to go I think. It's in those years that you can really help shape a young person and have the biggest affect on their lives.

[Speaker 1] I don't think i could be an educator. There are many other ways I can use my agricultural engineering degree. I dream of owning a farm.

[Speaker 2] To be your own boss and get out of the rat race would be great. I don't think we have enough respect for farmers. It's a noble proffession!

[Speaker 1] I will be glad when the weekend comes, since school was so stressful today. I will probably just chill out to music and workout. Do you have any plans for the weekend?

[Speaker 2] Apart from church on Sunday no. I might try a new Asian fusion restaurant that has opened up, I like trying new food.

[Speaker 1] I love to try new foods as well, it is a good thing i can still eat like a teenager but keep my girlish figure. You will have to let me know how it is.

[Speaker 2] LOL me too. I love having the 'skinny gene' it does help keep the weight off. Yes I'll let you know. What is your favourite food?

[Speaker 1] I like to eat easy to cook food, since school keeps me so busy. My favorite for other people to prepare for me is probably curry.

[Speaker 2] Nice. Well I wish you well in your studies. If you need any help with a study schedule or anything let me know!

I love dogs.

I major in agricultural engineering. I am working on my bachelors. I plan to get my master's degreee. I want to own a farm.

I have a dog. I like walking my dog.

I like trying new food.

[Speaker 1] What's the strangest food you have ever tried?

[Speaker 2] For food, I have tried squid and calamari.  how about you?

[Speaker 1] For me the strangest food I have ever had was the pineapple pizza.

[Speaker 2] pineapple pizza??  that's good stuff!  How does your dog like pizza?  lol

[Speaker 1] No my dog likes meat or any food with meat in it.

[Speaker 2] nice.  my kids in first grade love pineapple pizza.  i also love curry.  do you have a favorite kind of curry?

[Speaker 1] Well, kids love all kind of pizza. I don't have a favorite curry but i eat more of curry with meat in it.

[Speaker 2] so how has your fitness goals been going?  I could use some motivation on my end...  lol

[Speaker 1] I'm not having any fitness goals at the moment. My body is always skinny no matter what i do and how i eat.

[Speaker 2] oh wow!  lucky you...  i wish i could do that.  I am also skinny but have to watch what I eat on a daily basis.  i envy skinny girls who look good in skinny jeans and are driven.  my kinda people.

[Speaker 1] I bet someone would wish to be skinny like you, so don't feel bad about your body. Eat good food and enjoy your life.

[Speaker 2] good advice.  life is too short for that.  I do enjoy that kind of company as well.  where will your farm be?  sounds peaceful and fun!

I like wearing band shirts, skinny jeans and leggings. I like keeping fit. I workout. I don't have any fitness goals. I am skinny no matter what I eat or do.

I love dogs.

I like trying new foods. I eat a lot but still have a girlish figure. My favorite food is curry.  I eat curry with meat in it. I don't have a favorite curry.

The strangest food I have ever tried is pineapple pizza. My dog eats likes any food with meat.

I have a dog. I like walking my dog.

I go to church weekly on a Sunday.

I like trying new food. The strangest food I have ever tried is calamari.

I like pineapple pizza. I have kids in first grade. My kids love pineapple pizza. I love curry.

I like skinny jeans. I need more fitness motivation. I wish I could be skinny effortlessly. I am skinny but have to watch what I eat. I am jealous of girls that are skinny and look good in skinny jeans or are driven.

[Speaker 1] How are your students doing?

[Speaker 2] Second-grade students are a lot wilder than first-grade students but they're great! I have a lot of fun teaching them and hearing what they have to say. I like listening to them talk about their favorite foods and the pets they have. They're great conversation!

[Speaker 1] I'm sure they are entertaining! Do they like pineapple pizza like you or do they like more exotic things?

[Speaker 2] They do! One of the things I like about kids is that they're always open to new things. You know I love pineapple pizza but you never told me what kind of pizza you love. Do you like meat as much as your dog?

[Speaker 1] I like eating veggie or taco pizza while I play video games but my dog probably likes meat more than I do. Do you like to make your own pizza or do you have a favorite pizza place?

[Speaker 2] I like Pizza Hut, Papa John's, Dominoes. All of the popular pizza places. I think that's why I'm having trouble trying to fit in skinny jeans! But that's not enough motivation for me to give up my favorite foods. Do you have a favorite type of curry?

[Speaker 1] I love chicken tikka masala but i have a great coconut curry that I make a lot. Do you like cooking? I find its a great way to make delicious food with healthy ingredients.

[Speaker 2] I teach during the week and have church on the weekends, so I don't have as much time as I would like. I enjoy taking my time to relax, having a good meal and maybe watching a movie. I know you like trying new foods. Do you have time to cook?

[Speaker 1] Not during the school year so much but on breaks and over the summer I try to break out new recipes! Because I am pretty skinny I try to make sure I eat enough, even if it isn't homemade. Do you get some more free time over the holidays and when school is out? You seem to stay pretty busy.

[Speaker 2] I get time off during the summer. I like to spend time playing with my dog. I also enjoy prepping for the school year with lesson plans. I like to relax and enjoy my free time since teaching is always hectic. I'm sure you feel the same way and feel relieved when you don't have to worry about studying.

[Speaker 1] It's so true! What kind of dog do you have? Pets are a great stress reliever for me too.

[Speaker 2] I have a white Labrador retriever. They have a lot of energy and wear me out sometimes but they help me relax, too. They're great to cuddle with. How about you? What kind of dog do you have?

[Speaker 1] I planted a bud from my pineapple plant!  It'll take a few years to grow.  I'm thinking of making a mix drink with a pineapple that's about to ripen.  Any recommendations?

[Speaker 2] yes! You can make a pineapple screwdriver pretty easily with equal parts pineapple juice, orange juice, and vodka

[Speaker 1] That sounds good.  Is your city warm enough to grow anything tropical?

[Speaker 2] No, I live too far north for anything tropical, unfortunately. What's your favorite thing to grow?

[Speaker 1] Potatoes!  Sounds boring, and it is, but I love eating potatoes in any form.  You can grow them anywhere.  Luckily they dont up take too much space in my greenhouse.

[Speaker 2] Do you move things with your brain in your greenhouse?

[Speaker 2] All the time. You know a lot of those bugs will help to enrich your soil

[Speaker 2] No, I have never had a chance to visit the empire state building yet.

[Speaker 1] well i hope that you get to go some day!!

[Speaker 2] Yes, so do I! I loved being on a farm, but the big city seems like such a great change in pace.

[Speaker 1] Mmm pizza! What toppings do you like? Do you still miss your farming days?

[Speaker 2] I can't do much farming now with all the Prostate Cancer medication they have me on...

[Speaker 1] I'll have to do the farming for you and you can lay and chill in the sun. It's so hard being on meds, I had the same when I was a kid before my transplant :(

[Speaker 1] I never have actually, maybe i will one day. Where will you be staying when you visit New York, I heard they have good pizzas there.

[Speaker 2] I will be staying at the Holiday Inn next to a really good pizza place that makes flatbreads! You should come down to visit me?

[Speaker 1] That would be fun, how long are you planning on staying there for?

[Speaker 2] I am staying for 2 weeks. If you want to come down, I would be more than willing to pick you up from the airport or the train station.

Nothing beats a hot cup of java.

[Speaker 1] Good morning. How are you?

[Speaker 2] I'm ok, drinking a lot of coffee, how about you?

[Speaker 1] Just relaxing waiting on my wife and three children to get ready.

[Speaker 2] Where are you all going to?

[Speaker 1] We are going to the park. E do it once a week. How about you?

[Speaker 2] I'm getting ready to go mountain biking. It is fun!

[Speaker 1] We are going to get my fav chocolate ice cream on the way home. Have fun!

[Speaker 2] I love ice cream too, but mostly coffee flavor.

[Speaker 1] What else do you like besides coffee? My family steers c ; ear of it.

[Speaker 2] Well, I don't drink alcohol, so coffee and diet soda. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I am an ice cream and ice water kind of guy.

[Speaker 2] Ah. So is my dad, he worked construction, he is the same.

[Speaker 1] What about your mom? What is she like?

[Speaker 2] She is the greatest mom, I saw her yesterday. Do you see your mom?

[Speaker 1] No. She passed away years ago.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I am so sorry. I am lucky to still have mine.

I have a wife and three children.

I go the park every week with my family. I am going there today.

I like chocolate ice cream. my family does not drink coffee. I like to drink ice water.

My mother is deceased.

I like coffee.

I like mountain biking.

My dad works at construction.

[Speaker 1] Have you been out on your bike at all? I bet there are some great trails if you know where to look.

[Speaker 2] Oh, for sure! There are all kinds of awesome trails around here, the only problem is choosing one! Do you have any recommendations? Is the park you're going to pretty nice?

[Speaker 1] The park links to a lake in my area is very beautiful and we can stop and have a picnics.  The family are keen to spend the day out in the fresh air when we can which suits us all.   A treat is always the chocolate ice cream but im sure yours would be coffee flavored lol  I can link you into some ideas for the weekend if you like no problem.  You heading out this weekend on the bike?

[Speaker 2] That sounds amazing! And I'd love some links if it's no problem for you. Coffee flavored ice cream is the best and no one can convince me otherwise LOL. I definitely want to go out for a nice ride this weekend. The weather is going to be great and my mother is interested in joining me! So I want to find a really beautiful trail.

[Speaker 1] That would brighten up your mother for sure.  We use to have my mum come along at times but of course not towards the latter times with her.  She would love the little nature trails and we would sit and watch the robin take the seeds from our hands.  Great to be part of nature.  Has the weather been good for you where you are, gales at times here today.

[Speaker 2] Your mum lives on in your memories. It's nice to hold on to those precious moments and be able to return to the beautiful places they were created. I'm really looking forward to the weather this weekend for sure. How are your wife and kids doing lately?

[Speaker 1] They are good thanks for asking hun.  They have been working hard with their studies and work.  We are as you can imagine passing ships a lot of the time but have the quality time together.  Yes we always mark thinks buy saying hello to the Robin as a hello to mum.  Hows your mum and dad getting on hopefully taking it easy.

[Speaker 2] I'm so glad to hear they're doing well. Study and work is so important, but quality time is the best. My parents are doing well. It's been harder for my dad lately because of how hard he works. I try to convince him to take it easy, but hard work is just in his blood. He can't go a day without it.

[Speaker 1] It goes like that for some, your dad sounds to have decent hard working principles.  I'm sure you can drag him away when needed but i understand what that's like for sure.  They feel that they still need to keep on providing to the rest of us but they don't bless them but like you say its in the blood.  Make the most as time is but short and we so want to do so much with our loved ones.  Socializing is important and what do you do in the that regard hun?  It is good to try and find time together

[Speaker 2] It's always nice to gather the family for a nice relaxing day together. Tons of delicious food and drink make everything quite a bit better. I hope you have lots of precious moments with your family!

[Speaker 1] Ditto hun and keep giving the lots of hugs and letting them know.  Its so beautiful having the love that can be shared and the nature we can appreciate together.  Hope to catch up soon again hun

[Speaker 2] For sure! I'm always here for a chat! Don't be a stranger and tell the family I said hi.

I have a wife and three children.

I go the park every week with my family. My family likes to be outdoors.

My mother is deceased. I was close to my mum. I enjoy spending time with family and making memories.

I like mountain biking.

I like coffee.I like coffee flavoured ice cream. I don't drink alcohol.

My dad works at construction.

I love my mother. I saw my mother recently. My mother likes to come out with me.

I like nature.

I enjoy spending time with family.

[Speaker 1] I found an interesting trail for you and your mum, i just had to tell you before the weekend. It's supposed to be beautiful!

[Speaker 2] That's great. I'm always keen to try new trails out. My mother will be pleased but it needs to be manageable for her. Is it difficult?

[Speaker 1] My youngest is 10 and she managed to hike the trail well. It is a little under 3 miles and the terrain is fairly flat and the trails are well groomed. Does that seem a good level for your mom? The park has one that is just a bit harder and longer.

[Speaker 2] Oh that should be fine then. She isn't as confident as she used to be but if a 10 year old can do it then I'm sure she can too. It's good that you go out with your family and get some exercise. That's so important for young ones these days I think.

[Speaker 1] Does your mom just hike with you, or does she mountain bike as well? I love hiking because it is such good exercise and quality family time as well.

[Speaker 2] She likes mountain biking. We do hike also. I sometimes forget that she is older and do worry what would happen if she fell off. LOL.

[Speaker 1] My mom liked hiking when she was still healthy enough, I wish she was still around to go with me. It does seem safer than mountain biking.

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry that she's not with you any more. You must miss her. Sorry all this talk about my mom and I didn't think about your situation.

[Speaker 1] It is nice to talk with someone who loves their mom as much as I did. I think the apple blossoms will be coming out this weekend, and the cherries just finishing up. Do you ever photograph nature?

[Speaker 2] I don't actually. I mean I do take some pictures on my phone sometimes but not like real photography. How about you?

[Speaker 1] I have a nice camera setup. It seems like a nice family activity taking pictures of the family in nature, since we are outdoors so much.

[Speaker 2] The kids must love it. I think given the time I spend in nature myself that would be a good hobby to pick up. Not when mountain biking but hiking.

I have a wife and three children.

My youngest child is 10 years old. I like to hike. We hike as a family. My mom liked hiking too when she was healthy.

I like photography. My family spends a lot of time outside and I like taking pictures of them.

I like mountain biking.

My dad works at construction.

I like nature.

I'm  pictures on my phone, but I'm not really into photography.

[Speaker 1] The cherry trees started to blossom in the park and I got some really beautiful pictures!

[Speaker 2] That sounds lovely! What park? I would love to take my mom. Those are her favorite!

[Speaker 1] It's called Pointview Park, do you know it? I'm sure your mom would love it. They also have some nice hiking trails you could check out.

[Speaker 2] That sounds familiar. Is that the one you go to all the time with your family? Are they in the photos?! I would love to see!

[Speaker 1] Yes, we go there pretty often. But we like to switch it up, so we usually try to pick a different park each weekend. Yes, my wife has all the pictures on her phone, but I'll send them to you as soon as she sends them to me!

[Speaker 2] That would be wonderful, thank you! I am so jealous of your weekend family outings. I try so hard to get my dad to come out and he never will.

[Speaker 1] Are your parents together, if you don't mind me asking? If so, maybe he could go with you to the cherry blossom festival, I think it starts in a few days. They have lots of vendors there that sell some really delicious food, so maybe that will entice him to come out. Not to stereotype, but as a dad myself, I know sometimes food can be a good motivator.

[Speaker 2] They are together, but you know he works ALL THE TIME. Maybe I can convince him to go to the festival! I had not heard about it. My mom will love it. Maybe she can talk him into taking a day off and enjoying it. Now I want a funnel cake!!

[Speaker 1] Oh sorry, my comptuer logged off for a sec, hope this still sends. But yes, they have funnel cake. Get him to take a break! Maybe we can all meet up together, in fact. My wife and I were saying we should bring the kids back there for the festival. I think they have games, too. I'll check the schedule online.

[Speaker 2] No worries! I got your message. Would you be interested in going to the festival with me and my family. It would be great to meet your kids and I will even take lots of photos. Even if we cannot get my dad to join, I am in!

[Speaker 1] I would love that! Looks like this Saturday would be a great day to go, because they'll have some musical guests as well. Do you think that might work? We're pretty much free all day. We normally would do a long hiking day, but I know my whole family would love to do the festival instead. Well, I'll double check with them. But I'm 99.9% certain :)

[Speaker 2] Yes! What kind of music? I love folk rock, but haven't ever seen any life. My mom is going to be soooo excited about this! She is going to spoil your kids lol.

I have a wife and three children. I am a dad.

I like visiting Pointview Park. I got to Pointview Park with my family very often but on the weekends we pick a different park to go to.

I think the food at the cherry blossom festival is delicious. Good food is a motivator for me. My wife and I want to bring our kids to the cherry blossom festival.

My family and I usually spend the day on a long hike on Saturdays.

I like mountain biking.

My dad works at construction.

I like nature.

I enjoy spending time with family. My mother and I like to hike together. My mom and I also mountain bike. I love going to parks with my mom. My mom loves parks.

I want my dad to go out with but he won't. My parents are still together. My dad works all the time. My mom would love the cherry blossom festival. I would like to eat funnel cake. My dad might go to the cherry blossom festival.

I love folk rock music. I have never seen folk rock music in real life.

[Speaker 1] Have you gotten your tickets for the cherry blossom festival yet?

[Speaker 2] I did, for Saturday! Did you as well, so that we can all go together? I am relying on you to help me pick out all the best food!

[Speaker 1] Fantastic.. I bet you had a blast!! My wife and I spent the weekend at Pointview Park with the kids.. I'll be glad to make recommendation.. Fried Apple Fritters, for one!

[Speaker 2] That sounds delicious. That is making me hungry just thinking about it! What did you guys do at the park?

[Speaker 1] I know right.. it's torture, the wife has me trying to eat healthier so I need to forget the fritters. lol We went cycling with the kids, then had a picnic, and the weather was fantastic! Did they have any good bands at the festival?

[Speaker 2] At least you stay active! You need some fritters for energy, at least that is what I say haha. It is so great that you take the kids outdoors and do activities together. There was a lot of great music! I'm not really an expert at bands, but I did enjoy what we heard. My dad was actually glad that I got him out of the house.  Next time we all have to go together!

[Speaker 1] Hey, good one.. I'll have to try that one with her & see if she buys it! XD Yes, that would be great.. we'd like that! I bet you got a funnel cake, didn't you? I remembered you saying you love them. And here I go again with the food! smh

[Speaker 2] I can't resist a funnel cake. I remember the first time I ever had one, visiting Knott's Berry Farm as a kid. Such good memories! Do you like amusement parks and roller coasters?

[Speaker 1] Oh man, do I!!!!! I'm just a huge kid when it comes to theme parks.. and I'd probably go as far as to say I'm a roller coaster enthusiast! What about you, roller coasters your thing?

[Speaker 2] i LOVE roller coasters. I try to go back to a park as often as I can, with anyone I can get to go with me! So much fun. I can't understand my friends who don't like roller coasters. Well ,perhaps we will just have to set up a trip for an amusement park as well! I feel like your kids would have a blast

[Speaker 1] Definitely! Yeah, my kids will ride anything that the height restriction doesn't keep them from. lol  I believe our youngest would sky dive if we let him! And I agree, how can anyone not like roller coasters?! I prefer steel track opposed to wooden coasters tho.. how about you?

[Speaker 2] That is so great. What a fun family vacation that would be. I like whatever goes the fastest with the biggest drops. I am sure there have been a few new coasters since the last time I've been to a park, too. They are always building them bigger and faster! Waht is your favorite park?

[Speaker 2] I work as a custodian, to pay bills. I am also a musician

[Speaker 1] My husband is gone a lot, what kind of music?

[Speaker 2] Rock! I hope to make it big! I pay the piano and guitar.

[Speaker 1] That is so cool, our daughter plays sax.

[Speaker 2] Awesome! Does she sing too? I sing!

[Speaker 1] No, she does not. Our oldest son tries to sing.

[Speaker 2] Are you supportive of her dream? My parents are not.

[Speaker 1] I am supportive of them all, even my husbands quest to find his biological parents.

[Speaker 2] Oh he is adopted? How nice!

[Speaker 1] He is. He is a detective, I'm very proud of him and our kids.

[Speaker 2] Law enforcement work is respectable work. You should be proud!

[Speaker 1] Do you have any hobbies? I like those adult coloring books.

My parents are not supportive.

[Speaker 1] My husband has signed up for a company that helps people to find lost family. He's really excited.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great. Has he ever looked for his biological family?

[Speaker 1] He's always talked of doing it, but this time he's actually gonna go for it. I'm excited for him.

[Speaker 2] Good for him. I would imagine he is a little nervous about it?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, he's really nervous if he finds them, they wont want to have anything to do with him;

[Speaker 2] I could only imagine that would be challenging. I think it is great for him to try anyway. That way he gets answers. Does he have any information about them yet?

[Speaker 1] He has a couple of pieces of information about two brothers!

[Speaker 2] Hey, that is cool information for him to know. I wonder if his brothers know he is out there. You will have to keep me posted!

[Speaker 1] Oh I def will! I really hope it turns out that they are open to him and we can become a big family

[Speaker 2] Do your kids know he is adopted? Are they aware of the search he is about to embark on?

I like adult colouring books.

My parents are not supportive.

I am interested in the search for the family.

[Speaker 1] My husband has already got some new information on his family, it was so quick!

[Speaker 2] Wow. Was he able to find his biological parent? that was quick

[Speaker 1] Not yet, but with his handy detective skills, he is getting close! He thinks he may have a definitive answer by end of this week.

[Speaker 2] Aw that is amazing!! I know he is nervous, but he is a great man and I think it will go great. I hope so for his sake!

[Speaker 1] I hope so too! He reserved a spot for us at the Blues Brother lounge this Friday to celebrate the news. You should join us!

[Speaker 2] I would love to! You already know I love me some music!!! I look forward to seeing yall. Will his brothers be there to? Have they met the parents?

[Speaker 1] We haven't met his parents yet. We're supposed to receive their personal details such as a home address this Friday. Yes, his brothers will be there as well. It will be the four of us plus you. I can't wait! Will you have a plus one?

[Speaker 2] I actually did meet someone at my last show downtown. So maybe if everything goes to plan you guys will get to meet him as well. I am so happy for you guys and getting to meet parents I know that it will go great!! cuz you guys are awesome!

[Speaker 1] Thanks! I hope your special someone can tag along too. I look forward to meeting them. If not this Friday at the lounge, I can come to your next show and meet them. When is your next show? Whats the name of the place downtown?

[Speaker 2] It's called Margaritville haha. And the show would also be on that Friday and I'm sure he'll b with me. You would love him. We match great

[Speaker 1] Oh I know of that place. I love their Margaritas! No salt on the rim for me though. That's a bummer your show is on the same Friday. Some other time for sure. Keep me in the loop! I am about to run to the farmers market and grab more eggplant for my famous eggplant lasagna. Its baking day today! haah

[Speaker 2] Sounds like a plan I look forward to getting together!! have fun

I support my family. My husband does not know his biological parents. My husband is adopted. my husband has never previously looked for his biological family. My husband is nervous to be rejected. My husband has two brothers. We have not met his parents.

I like adult colouring books.

I do not like alt on the rim of my Margaritas. I shop at the farmers market.

My parents are not supportive.

[Speaker 1] What type of shows do you do?

[Speaker 2] Rock shows, I met someone from one of my rock shows actually. She was a huge fan.

[Speaker 1] That's lovely. I'd love to meet her. At least you know she'd be encouraging of your dreams!

[Speaker 2] I'm sure she'd be down to meet you! Since your daughter plays the saxophone, maybe you can come to a show sometime and we can all meet up there!

[Speaker 1] She probably isn't old enough to play in a lot of grown-up places, but I had a similar thought just yesterday! I thought since the weather is getting nice, maybe we could all meet at a park so you can jam. If all goes well at the Blues Brother Lounge with my husband's long lost brothers, maybe we could make like a big thing out of it -- get a lot of folks together.

[Speaker 2] Sure, sounds like a great plan! You can bring your dog as well. What time and date would work for you and your family??

[Speaker 1] Not quite sure yet. I'd like to see how the meeting with my husband and his brothers goes first. Thank you so much for agreeing to be there. You are so considerate and empathetic!

[Speaker 2] With your husbands family situation I completely agree! My parents were never really supportive of me so it's great to see him reconnecting with his loved ones.

[Speaker 1] Thank you. I just hope it all works out. He's waited for this for so long; I worry his expectations are inflated and the disappointment will be huge if things don't go well.

[Speaker 2] It's always nerve wrecking to feel outcasted and abandoned. I'm sure it'll go fine! They probably are just as excited as your husband. Will they introduce him to his biological parents?

[Speaker 1] I think so. They definitely have information for us, but I'm not sure where it will lead. Luckily once my husband has names, he has resources at work to do a bit of checking around before deciding if he wants to meet them right away or not. I'm sorry your parents weren't supportive of you!

[Speaker 2] It's alright, It's part of life. It's always great to see someone has the opportunity to reconnect with their family! Yeah he should definitely do some research before, I agree.  If he decides they're a great fit you should bring them to our park meet up as well!

I like adult colouring books.

My parents are not supportive.

I met somebody at a show I do downtown. I perform on Fridays at Margaritville. I'm having a park meet up soon.

[Speaker 1] Have you had any luck with looking for your family?

[Speaker 2] Not really. Honestly, I'm a bit nervous to start looking. How about your husband? Any luck with his family?

[Speaker 1] He has started the process. He is using his work resources to do some research. If he finds them, I'm not sure he'll want to meet them.

[Speaker 2] Really? Why wouldn't he want to meet them? Do you think he'll be too nervous?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I think he still has a since of abandonment since they gave him up in the first place. What do you think? Would you want to meet your biological family?

[Speaker 2] I guess I can understand that. I still want to meet my biological family because I'm just so curious to know what they're like. I have a lot of questions.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I get that! I can't imagine not knowing where I come from as far as genetics and stuff, so I hope my husband decides to go through with it... if he can find them!

[Speaker 2] Exactly. I'm sure he'll find them if he keeps trying. Now with social media we are all so connected. It's pretty easy to find anyone.

[Speaker 1] That's true - once he gets the names he can do a lot of research on them before he decides to reach out. He's waiting on the adoption agency now.

[Speaker 2] I see. Did they give him an estimate as to how long it will take? I'm quite curious about the process.

[Speaker 1] No they weren't really helpful in that regard. I've heard it can take weeks or months!

[Speaker 2] Well, a few weeks would be great! I guess I could wait that long. I was expecting it to take years.

[Speaker 2] Probably not. If the dog likes you, you are all good.

[Speaker 1] How is the weather were you are?

[Speaker 2] Well, as long as the hurricanes stay away, I am happy. How about for you?

A already have a step children.
I just moved into my first home.
I work at a school.
I'm expecting triplets in three months.
I recently moved to this country.

Hey there I'm 23 and I love food.

I also like to cook but I am not very good at it.

I've been trying all types of food everywhere I go.

I own a yacht and I rent it out when I'm not using it.

I've been traveling the world for a years.

My spouse has kids from a previous marriage.

I recently purchased my starter house.

I slave away at a daycare.

I have a hard time sleeping.

I immigrated within the past few years.

I try new restaurants all the time.

I'm trying to learn how to create recipes.

I'm open to new experiences.

I lease luxury boats.

I've made my way around earth for decades.

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you doing?

[Speaker 2] Fantastic just got home from a wonderful restaurant

[Speaker 1] How was the food there?

[Speaker 2] Fantastic, it was a new place in japan, I've been here a week,

[Speaker 1] I just recently moved to japan as well. I love it here!

[Speaker 2] Oh? I was just in paris, have you been there? It is beautiful!

[Speaker 1] No, I would live to go. I just bought my first home though.

[Speaker 2] In japan? I might get a home some day, but for now I'm traveling the world

[Speaker 1] Yes, japan. I am having triplets soon, so any traveling is on hold.

[Speaker 2] That is really cool!, do you cook at home or go out to eat?

[Speaker 1] I've stepchildren, I like to cook at home for them. What about you?

[Speaker 2] I love to cook, but I tend to burn things. Do you enjoy the ocean?

[Speaker 1] I do! I love to go on my summer breaks from school. What about you?

[Speaker 2] I have a yacht but since I am not home I rent it out

I have just moved to Japan.

I would like to visit Paris. I have just purchased my first house in Japan. I am pregnant. I am expecting triplets.

I have stepchildren. I cook for my stepchildren.

I like the ocean. I go to the ocean on summer breaks.

I like to eat out.

I have visited Japan. I have just visited Paris. I am currently travelling the world.

I like to cook. I am not a very good cook.

I have a yacht. I rent my Yacht out while I'm travelling.

[Speaker 1] I have just had a scan on the triplets. It was amazing to see them in the womb.

[Speaker 2] How exciting. Do you know if they boys, girls or both?

[Speaker 1] No - we didn't want to find out.  We want to be surprised.  What country are you in now?

[Speaker 2] Wow. You are braver than me. But I commend you for waiting. When are you due?  I am in Florida, USA on my yacht now.

[Speaker 1] I am due in 5 months.  At least I still have time to get the nursery together.  How is the weather in Florida?

[Speaker 2] You do have plenty of time to do the nursery. Do you have a nursery theme picked out? The weather here is a little humid but warm and manageable.

[Speaker 1] That sounds so nice and relaxing.  Perfect weather for sight seeing.  I and thinking that I will do the nursery in puppies with gender neutral colors.  Pretty greens and yellows so the room is always bright and sunny.  What are you most excited about seeing in Floriday?

[Speaker 2] The nursery plans sounds great. You will have to send me pictures when it is done. My favorite thing to do in Florida is fish. It relaxes me.

[Speaker 1] Big fish?  Like Marlins?  Those look so fun to catch!!!

[Speaker 2] I have yet to be that lucky. I fish close to shore. Small sharks and crazy looking fish with lots of teeth.

[Speaker 1] That sounds scarier than the marlins.  Don't let your hands get close to their mouths for sure! Do you eat them or catch and release?

[Speaker 2] I am very careful not to lose a finger when fishing. We release the sharks back for sure. But there are a few types of fish we keep and eat. Do you eat fish?

I have just moved to Japan.

I would like to visit Paris. I have just purchased my first house in Japan. I am 4 months pregnant. I am expecting triplets. I Don't want to know the sex of my children yet.

I have stepchildren.

I am working on a nursery! Puppy themed nursery with gender neutral colors - greens and yellows.

I like to eat out.

I have a yacht in Florida. I rent my Yacht out while I'm travelling.

I love fishing. Deep sea fishing but closer to the shore so I catch small shark and weird fish with lots of teeth. We always release sharks but keep some types of fish to eat.

[Speaker 1] How was fishing in FL, catch any sharks?

[Speaker 2] yep! about 5 foot sand shark, good eating it was!

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, that sounds cool! I am terrified of sharks, I saw the movie Jaws when I was a child and it scarred me for life.

[Speaker 2] that was a pretty scary movie for its time, haha! How are you feeling with your pregnancy?

[Speaker 1] I am feeling good, just really tired! And since it's triplets, I am already starting to get huge. I'm already at the waddling point of the pregnancy, I can't imagine how it will be if I make it full term!

[Speaker 2] That doesnt sound very comfortable at all, is there anything the doctors or you can do to alleviate some of the symptoms?

[Speaker 1] They told me to take it easy and make this an excuse to lay in bed all day! haha but it's hard with a new house and stepchildren running around. Plus, I am in nesting mode, I am panicking that I am not ready to welcome 3 more children into the world.

[Speaker 2] Oh yikes, I can only imagine how you must be feeling. I would take the professional advice and lay around--I'd probably do all my nest shopping right from my bed

[Speaker 1] That is a great idea, actually! But then who will cook for my stepchildren? I don't want them to feel neglected, I want them to know they are just as much my children as these new babies will be,

[Speaker 2] You can prevent that from making them feel involved in helping you! Just appreciate them and their help

[Speaker 1] That is a great idea. I know they are super excited to have new siblings, so I should definitely get them involved in everything. Thank you for the great advice!

[Speaker 2] Yes and it will teach them really valuable life skills, like compassion and maybe cooking if they are old enough

I have just moved to Japan.

I would like to visit Paris. I have just purchased my first house in Japan. I am 4 months pregnant. I am pregnant with triplets. I Don't want to know the sex of my children yet.

I love my stepchildren.

I am scared of sharks.

I like to eat out.

[Speaker 1] I am getting more and more big with this pregnancy, it's crazy!

[Speaker 2] I'll bet!  How far along are you now?

[Speaker 1] About four and a half months! It is get close and I am nervous!

[Speaker 2] You're only halfway through, or do they not expect you to make it to the full nine months?

[Speaker 1] There is no way I will make it to the full 9! And the nursery is nowhere near done!

[Speaker 2] What do you have done so far?  I totally think you should add some fish in there somewhere!  I can send you pics of the ones I catch to get you started ;)

[Speaker 1] I am not sure how the fish will go with the puppies, but do send them along! Right now is a bunch of pug wallpaper and that is it!!! I don't even have the crib together yet.

[Speaker 2] Or even better, you could add some cultural decorations.  I saw these amazing nursery displays when I was in Paris.  You could totally work that in with pugs.  All the French people have small, designer dogs, haha.

[Speaker 1] You really are always full of great ideas! Maybe I can make the nursery a mini Paris in Japan! How adorable! You really do make me feel better about it all...even as I lay here like a beached whale in my bed.

[Speaker 2] Oh honey!  Has your husband cooked you anything good lately?  He's not making you do all the cooking now is he?

[Speaker 1] He passed away recently. It is just me and the step kids. They are great, but it is so odd to be in a new place with his kids running around and his kids growing in my belly. He sure left a legacy.

[Speaker 2] Oh no!  I didn't know about that!  I'm so very terribly sorry.  It's amazing that you are able to raise his kids, all while being pregnant with multiples.  I really admire you.  Here I was just trying to get new recipes from you, while you are going through something so difficult.  I feel like a jerk.

I have just moved to Japan.

I would like to visit Paris. I have just purchased my first house in Japan. I am pregnant with triplets. I Don't want to know the sex of my children yet. I am four and a half months pregnant. I am nervous.

I love my stepchildren.

I am scared of sharks.

I think the baby will come before the full nine months. The nursery is not ready at all. I haven't put the crib together yet.

My husband passed away recently. I am alone with my step kids now. It feels odd to be in a new place pregnant with his kids and living with my step kids.

I like to eat out.

I saw amazing nursery displays when I was in Paris.

[Speaker 1] Are you going to go fishing any time soon?

[Speaker 2] Yeah I plan to go on the weekend, I wonder if i'll catch anything good! How is the pregnancy, any weird cravings?

[Speaker 1] I bet you will get something good, you always do! And don't tell anyone, but I'm using the cravings excuse to eat a lot of sweets. Even though I'd want them just as much if I wasn't pregnant!

[Speaker 2] Awww! I hope you have a safe pregnancy

[Speaker 1] Thank you, me too. Kind of worried about having the triplets though

[Speaker 2] That is crazy! You're going to have a full house

[Speaker 1] Yeah and empty wallets! I might never get to go on vacation again!

[Speaker 2] I am sure you can in the future, do you think you will bring all the kids when you go on vacation in the future

[Speaker 1] We would have too wouldn't we? I don't know what age would be the best to go on vacation with children. I am scared I'd lose them!

[Speaker 2] Oh yes, maybe when you're ready you can come with me on my yacht with the kids.

[Speaker 1] That would be fantastic! I have never been on a yacht before. Would kids have room to run around but be safe?

[Speaker 2] Yeah the yacht is safe, of course it wouldn't be great for long journeys though. How are you liking Japan?


I was saved by a relative.
I am an immigrant.
I enjoy going to clubs.
I reside in california.

I like hard rock.
Krispy kreme is the best snack ever.
My friends and I enjoy video games.
I love dungeons and dragons.

[Speaker 1] Hi. How is everything going?

[Speaker 2] Hi. Everything is going well on this end.

[Speaker 1] Where are you from? I am originally from somalia.

[Speaker 2] I am from detroit, mi. What do you like to do for fun?

[Speaker 1] I love dancing and singing.

[Speaker 2] That is interesting. I'd consider myself a gamer.

[Speaker 1] I like gaming now that I am in the us.

[Speaker 2] Oh really? What kind? I love fps. My fav is cod.

[Speaker 1] I like survival games. Reminds me of when my aunt helped me escape somalia.

[Speaker 2] That's some heavy stuff. I am glad you are safe

[Speaker 1] Thanks. So what else do you do for fun?

[Speaker 2] On the weekend, I get together with friends and do live action roleplaying

[Speaker 1] Awesome. That sounds really exciting.

[Speaker 2] Yeah it is fun but a lot of work.


I have a hat collection of over 1000 hats.

I won a gold medal in the 1992 olympics.

I love cats and have two cats.

My favorite season is winter.

My wife left me and took my children.

I am overweight and unhappy.

I work at a nursing home.

I do not believe in god.

I spend most of my time on facebook when I'm not working.

My hobby has become obsessive.

Athlete olympic an am I.

I am crazy for felines, I have a couple.

I look forward to downhill skiing.

I am going through a divorce.

I eat way too much.

I am a nurse at an elder care facility.

I'm a spiritual agnostic.

My free moments when I am away from my employment are spent on social media.

[Speaker 1] Hi names bill and I collect hats and have over a thousand

[Speaker 2] What are hats? The wifey left me and stole my children.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, why did she do that? I have cats named samson and delilah

[Speaker 2] Because I am fat and depressed. Working at a nursing home does that to me.

[Speaker 1] In 2002 I won a gold metal in the olympics

[Speaker 2] I did not qualify for the olympics because god does not exist

[Speaker 1] I love the winter what is your fave weather

[Speaker 2] Winter because I become fatter and have an excuse to be on facebook all the time.

[Speaker 1] Yeah it is much colder in the winter time

[Speaker 2] Why is that? I'd like to go to a buffet today.

[Speaker 1] Its just that feeling of coziness

[Speaker 2] Do you have a fireplace?

[Speaker 1] Yes I do and I cuddle with my two cats

[Speaker 2] Oh I love cats. What kind of cats?

[Speaker 1] One is a tabby yet overweight and the other is a black and white cat

[Speaker 2] Do you give them catnip?

My name is Bill. I've collected over a thousand hats.

I won a gold medal in the 2002 Olympics.

I love winter.

I have a fireplace.

My wife left me and stole my children.

I did not qualify for the Olympics because god doesn't exist.

I prefer winter. I use facebook.

[Speaker 1] Do you have any contact with your wife and kids?

[Speaker 2] Its hard to get ahold of my wife.  Its a sad situation all the way around, especially for my kids

[Speaker 1] Have you tried contacting her on facebook?

[Speaker 2] I have tried multiple avenues.  Unfortunately I was blocked.  Have you gone through a bad breakup before?

[Speaker 1] Several times.  It's the reason why I started my hat collection funny enough.  She left me because I said god didn't exisit.

[Speaker 2] I understand.  Religion could make it or break it.  I have a lot of friends who have broken up because of their religious beliefs.

[Speaker 1] Well, at least we have winter to look forward to, only 6 months away!  How's the nursing home treating you?

[Speaker 2] It isn't the best environment. I have to share a room with another man. I don't have my own privacy.

[Speaker 1] That's too bad.  Is the other man at least nice to you?

[Speaker 2] Yes, he's nice.  We share some common interest.  I do miss my home though.  Have you ever visited a nursing home before?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, actually I have.  My grandfather is in one.  He's getting the very best care.  The place can seem pretty sad though.

[Speaker 2] Are you able to visit him often?  We at the nursing homes love visitors!

I love winter. I have a fireplace.

I have been through many bad breakup's.

My grandfather lives in a nursing home.

My wife left me and stole my children. I don't speak to my wife or kids much. My wife and i have had a bad breakup. My wife blocked me on facebook.

I prefer winter.

I have religious friends.

I live in a nursing home. I share a room with another man. I am a man. I miss my home. I love visitors.

[Speaker 1] I collected 2 new hats for the collection, i think you will love them - they are winter themed!

[Speaker 2] Oh wow I'm sure I would. I wish I could see them.

[Speaker 1] would you like the green hat or the blue hat?

[Speaker 2] I think I would like the blue one. Which one do you like?

[Speaker 1] I would like the green one. green is in fact my favorite color

[Speaker 2] That's nice. How are your cats doing?

[Speaker 1] one is very overweight. i need to put him on a diet

[Speaker 2] I myself have to get on a diet too, I've let myself go. Would you recommend anything.

[Speaker 1] yeah i would recommend eating healthier

[Speaker 2] I always cheat myself, but I have to be disciplined. I guess I should treat it like a lifestyle and not a diet right?

[Speaker 1] yes once you realize food is for survival not for pleasure it becomes easier

[Speaker 2] I needed to hear that, thank you for helping me.

I love winter. I have a fireplace.

I have been through many bad breakup's.

My grandfather lives in a nursing home.

My favorite color is green.

I'm fat and depressed, which I blame on working at a nursing home. I ould like to lose weight.

I prefer winter.

I have religious friends.

[Speaker 1] How is the weight-loss going? I found some useful resources (namely, recipes) for you if you would like to see them.

[Speaker 2] I would thanks, though I probably won't use them correctly and just get fatter

[Speaker 1] Skinny isn't always best. As long as you've got good food you'll be happy. Maybe getting a pet would cheer you up?

[Speaker 2] Just something else to be taken from me or another life for me to ruin? No thanks. Starting to think there really is no God.

[Speaker 1] You're right, God isn't real :) Maybe you could look after Samson and Delilah?

[Speaker 2] God isn't? I feel like I've wasted so much time believing...you'd trust me to look after your cats?

[Speaker 1] Probably. You're not the only one though, there's some people who are still living in ignorance! Sure, they're a pain in the butt but they always cheer me up.

[Speaker 2] I mean, I guess I can try. Is there anything I need to watch out for? I don't want to anger them

[Speaker 1] Feed them tuna and they'll love you forever. Delilah is a sneaky one and will try hide in your bed. Just warning you.

[Speaker 2] I'll have to go get some tuna then. It might be nice having someone around that actually wants something I have to give

[Speaker 1] Are you a cat or a dog person? I like both.

[Speaker 2] I am more of a dog person, but cats are nice too. As long as I don't get scratched it'll be okay

I have cats named Samson and Delilah. One of my cats is an overweight tabby and the other is a black and white cat. My cats love tuna. My cat Delilah is sneaky and likes to hide in the bed.

I love winter. I have a fireplace.

I have been through many bad breakup's.

My grandfather lives in a nursing home.

My favorite color is green.

I have some weight loss recipes.

I don't believe in God.

I'm both a cat and dog person.

My wife left me and stole my children. I don't speak to my wife or kids much. My wife and I have had a bad breakup. My wife blocked me on facebook.

I prefer winter.

I have religious friends.

I don't have a pet. I'm a dog person but I like cats.

[Speaker 1] How is your weight loss journey going so far?

[Speaker 2] It is still a struggle. I'm working on doing some of those chair exercises they help me feel active without being burnt out at my age.

[Speaker 1] Have you tried changing your diet at all to help with the weight loss? I can share some healthy recipes if you're interested.

[Speaker 2] Sure I would appreciate any help you can provide. I bet you have some tips as an Olympian. What is your metal in?

[Speaker 1] I won a gold medal for running, have you thought about taking it up as an exercise?

[Speaker 2] I don't think a man at my age should take up running. The nursing home wouldn't like that very much.

[Speaker 1] Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize, I hope the nursing home are supportive in your weight loss goals, I imagine the meals they give you are healthy anyway, do they feed you well?

[Speaker 2] They try to I suppose but the food is a little dull so I'm always asking visitors to sneak me in something tasty.

[Speaker 1] That's always an option, are there facilities you can use to prepare something yourself?

[Speaker 2] You know I don't know. I think probably not as they are sticklers about what we can and can't do. I could see allowing all the old folks access to a kitchen but not be a good idea.

[Speaker 1] I imagine you'd have to be supervised, which isn't a lot of fun of you want to get creative. Are there any foods you don't like?

[Speaker 2] I'm not a huge fan of iceburg lettuce or celery.

[Speaker 2] I got a cat named ziggy when I moved to the united states. He likes reggae music.

[Speaker 1] Looks like my cat and your cat should introduce themselves

[Speaker 2] We should have them meet at a cat park so they can have a rap battle.

[Speaker 1] Cool, should I come pick them up in my 2015 honda civic?

[Speaker 2] That sounds good. I could pick them up next week in my 1976 chevy impala.

[Speaker 1] Ok, can I bring some pizza? I love pizza

[Speaker 2] I love pizza too! That was the first food I ate when I moved from somalia.

[Speaker 1] I was just going to ask you if your from somalia?

[Speaker 2] Yes I am. My aunt helped me escape somalia when I was thirteen years old.

[Speaker 1] Hey that is great. I am happy for you

I drive a 1976 Chevy Impala.

I love Pizza.

[Speaker 1] How is your Impala doing? I'm amazed that you've kept it running this long!

[Speaker 2] You know, I always need to make sure that everything runs smoothly, but overall I keep it in a good condition.  I love old cars!

[Speaker 1] I feel like I have an old car... but it's only 2015. I'm no good at working on cars lol. All I'm good at is music and rap. Have you heard any new stuff worth listening to lately?

[Speaker 2] Not really. This new music is not the same as the old stuff.  Even Somalian rap is changing so much.  I like the classics.  How about you?

[Speaker 1] It's hard to outdo the classics. I appreciate new artists and the perspective they offer to the world, but I always find myself going back to the classics as well. I haven't really heard anything great lately so I thought I'd ask you. But I have made probably the best pizza ever! Lol I was so proud of it I had to send pics to all my friends and family.

[Speaker 2] Nice! I love cooking and baking as well. You need to send me a recipe! What did you put on it?

[Speaker 1] I feel like I'm not the best cook, but I love pizza so much that I've been working on making my own. I tossed all kinds of things on there, it was the BEST. What are your favorite toppings?

[Speaker 2] Oh my, that's a hard question. It depends what I am in a mood for that day. I like chicken barbecue, Mediterranean, buffalo, or sometimes just plain old cheese pizza.  I like it New York style!

[Speaker 1] I don't think I could ever be disappointed by a pizza. I like everything, any style. Charlie is always trying to steal a slice too lol, so I know he loves it as well. How's Ziggy doing?

[Speaker 2] He is doing fine.  Just being a cat haha But he likes to snuggle with me on the couch and watch shows.  I really enjoy that too!

[Speaker 1] Aw, that's awesome! Charlie loves just chilling with me too. What kind of stuff do you guys watch together? Car shows? lol

[Speaker 2] We recently have been watching a show about drug cartels.  I really enjoy it! Do you like to watch tv?

I produce rap music. I like rap music.

I drive a 2015 Honda Civic.

I am not good at car maintenance.

I enjoy classic music. I appreciate new artists.

I make awesome pizza. I am not a great cook. I love pizza.

I have a cat named Ziggy who likes reggae. I enjoy watching tv with my cat. I am not from the US but moved here. I moved here from Somalia. I left Somalia when I was 13. I have an Aunt who helped me leave Somalia.

I drive a 1976 Chevy Impala. I love old cars.

I enjoy classic music. I do not enjoy new music.

I am watching a show about drug cartels.

[Speaker 1] So, I tried an experiment where I mixed all the cheeses available in the supermarket on top of my pizza and...guess what? I finally found a pizza I don't like! I love cheese pizza but this was way too greasy.

[Speaker 2] Is there anything unusual you like on a pizza? I've had a potato pizza once and it was not too shabby.

[Speaker 1] Wow, potato on a pizza that is unusual, I might have to try that.

[Speaker 2] Beautiful creamy potato with pizza. You know sometimes carbs plus carbs just works right?

[Speaker 1] Oh I completely agree, I love carbs! You see I've heard many don't like pineapple on pizza, but I love it! Do you like pineapple on pizza?

[Speaker 2] I like pineapple on a pizza. Because sometimes you need a little bit of sweet to go with your savory. Also in honor of the fine state of Hawaii.

[Speaker 1] Yes exactly, I think that's why salted caramel works so well. The salty tang brings the savory but then the caramel brings the sweet. If I was a better cook I'd try to bake myself some salted caramel cookies. Have you ever baked any?

[Speaker 2] I've never made salted caramel cookies. I think you've found my limit. A good rule is generally the unhealthier the tastier, but something about salted caramel is a bit too far for me. Any other favourite dishes?

[Speaker 1] Well I can only imagine they'd be really difficult to make. It always seems that way, no matter how healthy you want to be the unhealthy items taste so much better, that's why I love pizza so much! Well, I haven't really had much luck with cooking in the past, so it's difficult to say as my food is terrible. I would love to be able to cook a tasty BBQ Rib that just falls off the bone. How about you?

[Speaker 2] That sounds beautiful. I love italian cuisine. Just a simple traditional pasta dish cooked with good ingredients can be wonderful.

[Speaker 1] I know, I've seen so many amazing places in America that cook these huge ribs and would love to be able to cook one at home! Well, I am proud to say I love Italian food too. It would be amazing to travel to Italy and try their best Pizza. I can only imagine it would contain the best mozzarella and the most amazing tomato sauce. Italian's put so much love into their food, don't you think?

[Speaker 2] I actually visited Italy a few years ago and it was incredible. Each region has it's own dishes, the Florentine food so different to the Roman. Nothing like the Italian restaurants at home.

I produce rap music. I like rap music.

I drive a 2015 Honda Civic.

I am not good at car maintenance.

I make awesome pizza. I am not a great cook. I love cheese pizza. I have not tried potato pizza. I love carbs. I love pineapple on pizza. I love Italian food too. I want to travel to Italy and taste their pizza.

I think unhealthy food tastes way better than healthy. I wish I could cook BBQ ribs really well.

I love cooking and baking. I like New York style pizza. I tried a potato pizza once and it was decent. I like carbs. I like pineapple on pizza. I like the combination of sweet and savory.

I do not like salted caramel.

I love Italian food. I visited Italy a few years ago and loved it. I think their food is very different than the Italian restaurants at home.

[Speaker 1] Talking about salted caramels inspired me to try making some myself! I picked up the ingredients and will try making them tomorrow.

[Speaker 2] You should surely try them even if i don't like it, many of my friends love these.

[Speaker 1] Yea my friends love them too and I going to try to make that for them. So did you finish watching the drug cartel show?

[Speaker 2] I am mid way of the show  and it has already hyped me up. Are you singing any good raps for Charlie?

[Speaker 1] Drug cartel shows are really interesting as most of them are true stories, which is why I am thinking of watching one too soon. LOL!!! I try my best to sing some for Charlie and myself. But may be you could help me by introducing me to some Somalian Rap one day!

[Speaker 2] I would love to introduce Somalian rap as I listen to them often and I'm pretty sure you will rock on with your twist to it.

[Speaker 1] Well most of the rap music that I produce or sing, have a mixture of rap lyrics and tunes from other cultures. I was listening to a cover of one Somalian rapper the other day and it had an awesome vibe. Also I feel the tunes in them liven you up and gets rid of all the stress in my opinion. Don't you think that's true?

[Speaker 2] Exactly! I think the same and that's the only reason I am driven towards the Somalian rap as it helps me to stress out all my work pressure. And so does my cooking, all for my relaxation.

[Speaker 1] Some say rap music helps cure depression and other mental issues. So no wonder I too love listening to music just relieve my stress or just relax for the day. Are there a lot of famous Somalian rappers in Somalia or in the US?

[Speaker 2] Yes rap surely does help with many mental issues. I wish people get to know the different types of rap and explore the love for music. There are rappers both in Somalia and the US.

I drive a 2015 Honda Civic.

I am not good at car maintenance.

I like salted caramels. I have not tried baking any myself. My friends love salted caramels so they are for them.

I think drug cartel shows are really interesting because most are true stories. I am thinking of watching a drug cartel show soon. I try to sing raps for Charlie and me.

I produce and sing rap music with tunes and lyrics from other cultures. I like a Somalian rapper. I think Somalian rap relieves stress and gives me energy.

I love listening to any music to relieve my stress and relax.

I don't like salted caramels. Many of my friends like salted caramels.

I listen to Somalian raps very often. I think Somalian rap helps me relieve stress from work pressures. I think rap helps with many mental issues. I wish people explored their love of music through different types of rap.

[Speaker 1] I am getting all the ingredients ready to make the salted caramels!!

[Speaker 2] Ah, well you know I'm not a fan myself but good luck! Are you following a recipe?

[Speaker 1] Yes I am following a recipe since this is my first time making them.  It doesnt look too complicated but I have had disasters in the kitchen before!

[Speaker 2] Haha, me too! It's best to be careful. Does it look very complicated? Maybe you can ask someone to help you!

[Speaker 1] No it doesnt look too complicated, I'll let you know how it goes.  Do you enjoy cooking?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I love it! Usually I make pizza but recently I've been experimenting with Indian cuisine. Do you like Indian food?

[Speaker 1] I dont have much experience with Indian food, in fact I dont think Ive ever tried it.  What would you recommend as a starting dish?

[Speaker 2] I'm probably not the best person to ask because I'm also just starting. But, I guess curry is a good choice. It also turns out tasty.


I am overweight and unhappy.

I work at a nursing home.

My wife left me and took my children.

I don't believe in god.

I spend most of my time on facebook when I am not working.

I have an internet addiction and spend a lot of time playing roleplaying games.

I faint at the sight of blood.

My dream in life is to work from home.

I went to school to be a veterinarian but hated it.

I eat way too much.

I am a nurse at an elder care facility.

I am going through a divorce.

I'm a spiritual agnostic.

My free moments when I am away from my employment are spent on social media.

I stay in the world of warcraft.

I lose consciousness when I see human internal fluids.

I do not like working with the public.

I began college to become a vet but decided it was not for me.

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you today?

[Speaker 2] How do you feel about video games?

[Speaker 1] Video games are ok. I prefer facebook.

[Speaker 2] They'ren't really comparable.

[Speaker 1] What do you do for work? I work for a nursing home.

[Speaker 2] I use to work with animals but I hated it so I am job searching.

[Speaker 1] Good luck. I spend my free time on facebook since my wife left me.

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe you should try getting back out there

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm pretty overweight.

[Speaker 2] So what? Fat people deserve love too.

[Speaker 1] You are right! I am tired of being unhappy.

[Speaker 2] Your happiness is in your control.

[Speaker 1] Yes, so tell me more about yourself.

[Speaker 2] I play video games. Would love to make a living out of it

[Speaker 1] Cool. I don't play video games much.

[Speaker 2] It is my favorite past time

I work at a nursing home.

My wife has left me. I spend my free time on Facebook.

I am overweight. I am tired of being unhappy.

I don't play video games very much.

I play video games. I would love to make a living out of playing video games.

[Speaker 1] Have you had any luck in your job hunt?

[Speaker 2] No, not yet.  The job market is rough out there.  But I am still hopeful.

[Speaker 1] Hang in there!  I've been jobless in the past.  It is never fun searching.  Just keep pushing through it.

[Speaker 2] Thank you for the words of encourament.  Everyday I get out there.  I know something will come.  How is your job going?

[Speaker 1] The job is great.  I enjoy helping others at the nursing home.  My father is at the nursing home where I work.

[Speaker 2] Wow!  That is so awesome that your Dad is there.  That is a great benefit of being able to see him daily. What kidn of work do you do there?

[Speaker 1] I assist people with their daily activies...such as eating, walking.  Its hard work but it has great benefits

[Speaker 2] You must have a very kind heart to do that daily.  I am sure that the residents look forward to seeing you everyday.

[Speaker 1] Yes, they do.  A lot of them are lonely. I've been there for over 10 years so people know who I am :)

I don't play video games very much.

I used to be jobless. I work at a nursing home. I'm an assistant. I've worked at the nursing home for over ten years.

I don't have a job. I am job hunting. I used to work with animals but I hated it. I search for work every day.

[Speaker 1] I folded my dad's clothes at the nursing home.

[Speaker 2] I bet he appreciates that! Do you work at the same nursing home he lives at?

[Speaker 1] Yes. It's an okay job, but it lets me spend time with my dad. He doesn't need a lot of care, which is nice. He just needs some help with some physical stuff that I can't do all the time, since I have to work.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense, how nice that you get to see him so often. Does your mother live there too?

[Speaker 1] No, she passed away a few years ago. It's just me and my dad, now. How about you? Are your parents still alive?

[Speaker 2] Yes, they are both still alive. I am actually staying with them while I search for a job.

[Speaker 1] That sounds good. Saving money. I wish I could save money, but I have to pay support to my ex. I'm not sure why, since she was the one who left me, but it's the law, I guess. How is the job hunting going? Anything on the horizon?

[Speaker 2] I am struggling to find something I will enjoy but I will likely need to accept a job soon so I can keep paying bills. I am sorry to hear that you are having to pay your ex, does that mean your divorce is final now?

[Speaker 1] We're still working things out. We're using a mediator, since we don't want to pay lawyers fees, which are huge! Yeah, sometimes you just have to take what's available, job wise. What do you think would be a tolerable job?

[Speaker 2] I'd really love a job designing video games, that would be a dream job but if I could do something with marketing or content creation, I would be okay for now. Do you enjoy working at the nursing home?

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a good plan. Just getting your foot in the door with a video game company might be a good start. Are there companies like that near where you live, or would you be willing to move? The nursing home job is good. I've been doing it for 10 years, so I've learned how to deal with the less than fun stuff!

[Speaker 2] There are no companies like that around me so I would need to move or work remotely since it is all computer work.

I don't play video games very much.

I used to be jobless. I work at a nursing home and my dad lives in that nursing home. I'm an assistant. I've worked at the nursing home for over ten years.  fold my dads clothes.

My mother passed away a few years ago.

I don't have a job. I used to work with animals but I hated it. I search for work every day.

I play video games. My dream job is designing video games, but I would settle for something in marketing or content creation.

[Speaker 1] How is your job searching going? Have you been able to accept a job yet?

[Speaker 2] It's still pretty sparse. I can't seem to find anything that interests me enough or at least pays enough to make it interesting. How's the mediating going?

[Speaker 1] Hope things turn around for you soon. The mediating is going about as well as trying to teach a fish to wear pants and walk on land. It is frustrating.

[Speaker 2] Haha! I'm sorry to hear that though. That does sound frustrating. Hopefully we both get what we want soon. I need to afford a vacation!

[Speaker 1] I can agree with that. I was on Facebook the other day and watching some workout videos because I want to be happy and getting healthy is the first step.  Have you thought about maybe doing some of those video game live videos on there?

[Speaker 2] That's a great idea! I need to put down the video games at times and get a workout in. I bet I would feel so much better overall. I've streamed a few times but it is so hard to really get noticed and get enough subscribers to warrant ads so that I can make money off of it. I might need to think about moving closer to a big city to get some tech opportunities.

[Speaker 1] I would love a workout partner. We could video chat and workout together, keep each other motivated. You should look into company's that offer apprenticeships and then it would give you better idea of where you would need to move.

[Speaker 2] I am down for that! Let's schedule a time each day so that we can hold each other accountable. Do you know any programs we should start with? I'd like to see what I'm getting into! Haha! Good idea on checking for apprenticeships or internships. I need to start somewhere.

[Speaker 1] Awesome!! yeah actually I just started doing a simple low carb high protein meal plan with links to workout videos and stuff.  I can email it to you if you want.

[Speaker 2] Yes please! I'm a pretty picky eater but I need to make some changes. My parents are going to wonder what I've gotten into when I start working out! Haha!

[Speaker 1] HAHAH!! Really mess with them when they begin giving you weird looks and tell them you were abducted by aliens and you are the new and improved son! HAHAHAHHA LMAO!!

[Speaker 2] Hope they don't call the cops! Haha! I'm going to go with the hard core 80's look and get some striped high socks with wristbands and a sweatband! It's already going to be tough but might as well have fun!

I don't play video games very much.

My mother passed away a few years ago.

I have to pay support to my ex so I cant save money. I am working with a mediator so my ex and I don't have to pay lawyer fees. I am trying meditation and having a hard time with it.i am working on being happier and healthier.

I would like a workout partner.

I started a low carb / high protein diet.

Both of my parents are alive and I'm currently staying with them while I search for a job. I am looking into accepting a job soon. I dont live near any tech companies hiring. I am having a hard time with it.

I need a vacation. I need to play less and exercise more. I would like to make money off my gaming. I may move to a big city to get a job in tech. I should start looking into internships or apprenticeships.

I would also like a workout partner. I am prepared to make a change with working out.

I am a picky eater.

[Speaker 1] I have improved my meditation and I really think it has been helping me feel more relaxed! I can show you what I have learned so far

[Speaker 2] Please do! What kind of meditation do you practice?

[Speaker 1] I don't know if it has a special name or anything. I'm just learning to follow my breath!

[Speaker 2] Following your breath, wow! It sounds so simple but it would probably work wonders for me, especially with working out.

[Speaker 1] It's like just focusing on your breath and pushing away any thoughts other than "breathe in, breathe out." I could see it helping your focus during workouts.

[Speaker 2] For sure! Speaking of, do you want to go workout sometime? I can bring a guest to this new gym because of my membership.

[Speaker 1] Yes! I really want to make some huge lifestyle changes and I would love to go to the gym with you.

[Speaker 2] Awesome! What exercises are you comfortable with?

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure because I've never really worked out before. Can you help me?

[Speaker 2] Of course! Have you ever tried squatting with a barbell before?

[Speaker 1] Nope. It sounds hard. Is it hard? Like how heavy a barbell are we talking about ?

[Speaker 2] The barbell itself is 45 pounds but you'll do just fine. We'll have plenty of warm up exercises and we'll get your body used to the weight pretty quickly.

[Speaker 2] That makes me 10 years older than you. My parents still treat me like I'm 9

[Speaker 1] Whats your fave cartoon mine is mickey mouse

[Speaker 2] Mickey mouse is cool, but I like scooby doo a lot

[Speaker 1] Haha so does my older brother who always looks like shaggy

[Speaker 2] That's great. Those guys are such weirdos.

[Speaker 1] Lol what do you like to do? I like spending time at the playground

[Speaker 2] I work part time at burger king. I just like hanging with my friends.

[Speaker 1] Me too we usually just go to the playground or library

[Speaker 2] Sounds like fun. I did those things at your age. You have a favorite book?

[Speaker 1] Nope I like all books but my last one was lord of the flies

[Speaker 2] Pretty advanced for your age. Awesome.

My favourite cartoon is mickey mouse.

Last book I read was lord of the flies.

My parents are nagging me. I am 19 years old.

I like scooby doo.

I like hanging with my friends and I have a part time job at burger king.

[Speaker 1] Do you think you could recommend me a book that is similar to the lord of the flies?

[Speaker 2] I'm not too familiar with that book.  What type of genre is it?

[Speaker 1] Its a allegorical novel. About a bunch of kids stranded on an island and they have to basically form their own society.

[Speaker 2] I don't think I can offer much help on that. I can recommend a great movie...Goonies!

[Speaker 1] Goonies is a great movie. It was kind of like the kid version of Scooby doo, without the dog.

[Speaker 2] Exactly.  I grew up watching it.  Do you enjoy any other types of movies?

[Speaker 1] I love Disney Movies, all of them. Micky is my favorite character.

[Speaker 2] That is everyone's favorite! Have you been to Disney Land or World?

[Speaker 1] No not yet. I hope for my 10th birthday in December my family takes me!

[Speaker 2] Are you going to California or Florida.  You must be excited!

[Speaker 1] We are closer to Florida, but i dont know, its a surprise!

[Speaker 2] That's great!  Youre going to have so much fun.  What are you looking forward to doing there?

Last book I read was lord of the flies. I like Lord of the Flies. I like the movie Goonies.

I like scooby doo.

[Speaker 1] If you haven't read Lord of the Flies, what is your favorite book or favorite type of book?

[Speaker 2] i really enjoy reading true crime novels

[Speaker 1] Those sound like fun to read! Which title is your favorite?

[Speaker 2] i do not remember the name but it was about a murder in north carolina. very interesting

[Speaker 1] Interesting! I would love to read true crime, but my parents say I am not old enough yet. What age would you say is appropriate to read that book?

[Speaker 2] when you have your 16th birthday

[Speaker 1] Wow, that's more than 6 years away! I think I am mature for my age, maybe I will start to read some of those books in secret! What do you think?

[Speaker 2] you seem like a very mature 10 year old which is a good thing

[Speaker 1] Yes, I started reading novels when I was 4 years old. The teachers told my parents that they think I should skip a couple of grades. I don't want to leave my friends though, and the older kids scare me.

[Speaker 2] older kids are scary until you realize you will also be them one day. then they are less scary

[Speaker 1] That is a good way to think of things. My mom says that she used to think that too, and now 12 year olds seem like babies to her.

[Speaker 2] everybody gets older and less scared of the world

I am a 3rd grader. I will turn 10 in december. I still live with my parents.

Last book I read was lord of the flies. Lord of the Flies is my favorite book. I enjoy reading different types of books. I like the movie Goonies.

I am mature for my age. I am intelligent. I am not brave.

I like scooby doo.

I have not read Lord of the Flies. I like the movie Goonies.I watched Goonies growing up. Crime novels are my favorite to read. I find murder novels interesting.

I am not as afraid of the world as I once was.

[Speaker 1] I did read a crime novel that my parents' read first and said wasn't too scary. It still kept me up almost all night! I'm working on doing what you said and becoming less afraid of the world, it's hard sometimes though.

[Speaker 2] That is great effort! It is hard, but it will be worth the effort.  Have you tried imagining the scary things in a funny way?

[Speaker 1] Yes, like imagining ketchup sauce for the blood? How?

[Speaker 2] I used to believe there was a monster in my closet.  Then, I kept imagining it in a tutu and singing in a baby voice.  Then it became fun to imagine it, and I wasn't scared anymore.

[Speaker 1] Now that's a tip I can also use for the high rollercoasters at Disney World too, when my stomach turns upside down!

[Speaker 2] Maybe you can imagine that you are a jet fighter! Just don't eat lunch right before the ride! Is your family going to Disney World soon?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I hope so! You ever went there with your friends?

[Speaker 2] I've never been there, but always wanted to go.  Maybe someday soon.  If you go first, let me know which rides are the best!

[Speaker 1] I hope to go on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, because I think Snow White is the best Disney movie.

[Speaker 2] That is a true classic.  I really loved the dwarf named "Grumpy", I always wanted to try to cheer him up.  Do you have a favorite dwarf?

[Speaker 1] Sleepy seems to be nice.

[Speaker 2] He always did seem to be so sweet.  Is your older brother going to go too?

I like Disney movies. Mickey Mouse is my favorite character. I want to go to Disney Land or Disney World. I live close to Florida. I've been to Disney World. High rollercoasters make my stomach turn upside down.

I read a crime novel that kept me up all night even though my parent's said it wouldn't be scary. I'm working on becoming less afraid of the world but it is hard. I have tried imagining scary thing in a funny way.

I think Snow White is the best disney movie. I want to go on the seven dwarfs mine train ride at disney world. Sleepy is my favorite dwarf.

I like scooby doo.

I used to think there was a monster in my closet. I imagined the monster in a silly way and it wasn't scary anymore.

I have never been to disney world. I have always wanted to go to disney world and I hope to go soon. I think Snow White is a classic disney movie. My favorite dwarf was Grumpy. I always wanted to cheer Grumpy up. I think Sleepy is a sweet dwarf.

[Speaker 1] I tried your trick of imagining scary things in a silly way and it worked!

[Speaker 2] Haha how silly was it?!

[Speaker 1] it was so funny! All his spikes turned into little poop emojis and his fur became like a pinata!

[Speaker 2] See? Not so scary now. I hope you were able to sleep soundly after that.

[Speaker 1] I did! :D I dreamt about disney world, I really really really wanna go again, it was so fun!

[Speaker 2] Well you're in for a treat! I have two tickets to Disneyland so we can go before school starts back up again!

[Speaker 1] REALLY OHMYGOD11111!!!!!!! Do you think Snow White will be there???

[Speaker 2] Of course! You'll definitely get to see her! What's the first thing you want to do once we get there?

[Speaker 1] We should go on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train! I wanna see Sleepy! Grumpy is your favorite right? do you think he'll be there too?

[Speaker 2] He might be hiding somewhere but he'll be there! We'll have to grab a souvenir or two for you before we head back home!

[Speaker 1] For sure! Thank you so much for taking me! I don't know how to repay you :'0

[Speaker 2] Your smiles and happiness are their own reward! I'm just happy that I can show you a fun time!
