My dad grows crops and tends to animals.

[Speaker 1] Hi there how are you?

[Speaker 2] Hello! I'm good. I just came inside from tending to my fields.

[Speaker 1] Nice got to keep an eye on your crops, too bad I like more burgers and fries

[Speaker 2] Ironically, I don't like the food I plant. I prefer pizza.

[Speaker 1] Lol well I do like walks so I'd walk the fields any day

[Speaker 2] My father hates that I don't like the food we plant, as he's a farmer.

[Speaker 1] Lol if it wasn't for my boyfriend who stays here I'd eat burgers everyday

[Speaker 2] Do you like music? I love rock music and listen to it while I work!

[Speaker 1] Yes I like latin music mostly or some hip hop

[Speaker 2] It is funny that my arabian horses, that I've three of by the way, love it.

[Speaker 1] Really that is awesome how long have you had them

[Speaker 2] Three years. They're my favorite ones to ride. More fun than driving a car!

[Speaker 1] I bet your but doesn't get sore lol

[Speaker 2] I bought a comfortable saddle online not too long ago, but you are right.

[Speaker 1] Nice well if you ride them alot it must be worth every penny

[Speaker 2] I wish I could teach more people to learn to ride

I like unhealthy foods.

I like walks.

I have a boyfriend that forces me to eat healthy.

I like music. I listen to Latin music and hip hop.

I'm a farmer that grows crops. My father is a farmer.

I like pizza.

I like music, especially rock music.

[Speaker 1] I was about to make a burger but my boyfriend came home early from work lol.

[Speaker 2] What did your boyfriend want you to eat today?

[Speaker 1] Just a salad, nothing else. Though I should say ex-boyfriend, since we finally broke up. Some friends have been showing me how abusive and controlling his rules about my food habits were, and I finally ended it.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow are you still living together with your boyfriend? I really like to eat a salad with fresh vegetables from my farm but it could be topped with a burger and it would be a burger salad.

[Speaker 1] No, I'm moving in with some friends for the short term and I'm gonna figure something out in the future. It's for the best though, I hadn't been attracted to him for a while, and I might actually ask out a girl I like a bit more, though I'm still shell shocked from this break up. And I think eating is about balance, you can have a burger one day and a salad the next.

[Speaker 2] It is good to wait some time before moving on even though it sounds like you already knew it was time to end it. It must be hard to have to move though. Yes food can be delicious and healthy at the same time, I really like veggie burgers.

[Speaker 1] Veggie burgers are great! These are the kind of options I wanted to be able to eat, and now I can. Relationship control is so hard to see until you get out of the relationship. It is hard, but II have good friends who care about me. I will say that while I've always identified as bisexual, this relationship has really killed my interest in men. Maybe I'll start identifying as Lesbian going forward, because I doubt I'd date another man.

[Speaker 2] There are so many options now with both vegan options and relationship status. You really don't have to identify as anything anymore just be you. As long as you are happy with yourself how you identify shouldn't matter. I took a seminar on equality the other day it was very interesting there were so many terms I wasn't even aware of in the LGBQT++ community

[Speaker 1] Thank you, that really means a lot! It helps to hear that. How was the seminar? What did you learn?

[Speaker 2] The seminar was about equality but it was put on by some members of the LGBQT community. It was very interesting learning about people's experiences. Things are changing with the new generation they no longer identify as attracted to one specific gender and in the future things will change people will like people for who they are not what they identify as. I also learned that it is easy to make people feel more comfortable buy putting unisex bathroom signs on single stall bathrooms so people don't have to decide if they are male or female.

I like unhealthy foods. I like walks. I had a boyfriend that forces me to eat healthy.

I listen to Latin music and hip hop.

I lived with my boyfriend.My boyfriend and I broke up. My boyfriend was abusive.

I moved out of my old home. I am attracted to girls.

I like to balance my diet. I like veggie burgers. I have friends who care about me. I identify as bisexual, but I might be a lesbian.

I like music, especially rock music.

I like pizza. I like salads. I have a farm that grows vegetables. I like veggie burgers.

I took a seminar on equality. I am learning about the LGBT+ community. I feel like the world is changing.

[Speaker 1] I decided to take your advice and hold off on asking that girl out, but we might still hang out and grab some coffee as friends! What do you think?

[Speaker 2] I think thats a good idea, holding off a little while after a breakup is usually for the best! Take it slow!

[Speaker 1] It was a really bad break up too. I’m glad to have a friend like you. We out for pizza sometime.

[Speaker 2] Yeah definitely, I like pizza so that sounds good! I'm sorry it was so hard of a breakup. So this "hangout", is this your first time

[Speaker 1] Yes! Is feels right but I’m so confused. I don’t know ho we really feel. I really like her but it’s all so new to me.

[Speaker 2] How did you realize you're attached to girls?

[Speaker 1] I think I always was, I was just scared to admit it. I didn’t want to put myself out there and felt I would be judged. I finally am starting to feel happy now though.

[Speaker 2] I am so happy for you and this new chapter of being happy!

[Speaker 1] You always made the best veggie burgers, I don’t want to pressure you but we should catch up and you should make those one day. Your farm has the best veggies.

[Speaker 2] Yes I will make a salad for us when we catch up, I love to use the veggies from the garden in salads! While you're over we should also go for a trail ride on my horses

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a lot of fun. I would really like to ride your Arabian horses, they are so beautiful!

[Speaker 2] Yes they are a prize, I love those guys! I wish we all still traveled by horse back than by car, I would be all over that! haha!

I listen to Latin music and hip hop.

I lived with my boyfriend. My boyfriend and I just broke up. My boyfriend was abusive.

I am open to like other people again. I am a woman. I identified as bisexual. I am out in the open now as a lesbian.

I think Arabian horses are beautiful.

I like music, especially rock music.

I have three Arabian horses. I prefer horses to cars. I don't get sore from riding my horse.  I love to ride horses.

I have been in a breakup before.

[Speaker 1] I finally got the nerve to ask that girl out for coffee and she said yes!

[Speaker 2] That's terrific! When are you going?

[Speaker 1] Just to the Starbucks for now.  If things go well, will ask her to dinner

[Speaker 2] Great. Does she like pizza? It might be a great first date if so.

[Speaker 1] Not sure if she does, but you can be sure that I will ask!

[Speaker 2] If she does, you should take her to lucali. Long wait to get to know each other and then that amazing pizza.

[Speaker 1] I love Lucali but have not been willing to wait as long as necessary.  They should really have beverage service will waiting.

[Speaker 2] You can always brown bag some wine. Or a forty. I guess it depends on the date. When are you going for coffee?

[Speaker 1] A forty is right up my alley and would be a good test of her humor.  If she can't appreciate a forty in a brown bag, I may have to reconsider.  We are going tomorrow night.

[Speaker 2] Steel Reserve! If it ends as just a coffee date, hit me up after for drinks?

[Speaker 1] For sure will do, but will cost you more than a forty.  I can really put down some bourbon, so buckle up.

[Speaker 2] We can play Edward Fortyhands. That always goes well.

I listen to Latin music and hip hop.

I like to balance my diet. I like veggie burgers. I have friends who care about me. I like coffee. I like Pizza. I love Lucali pizza.

I think Arabian horses are beautiful.

I have a date coming up with a girl. I am going for coffee tomorrow night.

I like bourbon.

I like music, especially rock music.

I have been in a breakup before.

[Speaker 1] How are things growing on the farm?

[Speaker 2] Pretty good right now. We just got a bunch of rain! It really helped our crops out. My dad is very happy! You should come visit soon! There is nothing more therapeutic than walking through the fields. Plus, we can take a couple of my horses out for a ride.

[Speaker 1] You know if you let me right an Arabian one you won't see me or it again.

[Speaker 2] Haha well we will start out slow with some walks around the pasture. Maybe next visit we can go riding. Have you been riding before?

[Speaker 1] No, if I ride with you it will be my first time. They aren'y going to buck me right?

[Speaker 2] Not if you have my sweetheart, Billy Jean. She never bucks anybody! But don't worry...we will start out slow and make sure you and Billy Jean get along. You have to respect the horses in order to receive their respect. You'll be fine.

[Speaker 1] Well that makes me feel better, I didn't think such sweet looking animals could hurt me anyway. Do your horses know any tricks?

[Speaker 2] You would be surprised. You have to be careful with horses. They are huge and sensitive! What kind of tricks? They are great at jumping but I don't go to competitions anymore.

[Speaker 1] I'll be careful, maybe I can show off riding one to someone I like. Tricks like those prancing things I've seen them do on TV.

[Speaker 2] Haha I am not sure I know what you are talking about! You are going to have to send me a video from YouTube or something!

[Speaker 1] You haven't seen them prance about? I thought they did that for fun sometimes. How do you think my date will go? Should I bring up horses? Other girls like horses right?

[Speaker 2] I definitely know that horses can prance, but I am not sure about prancing tricks. LOL! I think your date will go great. Yeah, as long as you are genuinely interested! Always be real, yah know?


I think look like a boy after my recent salon trip.

I love chilling out with songs while spending time on my playstation.

I like wearing music themed tops.

I exercise a lot.

I treasure my free time.

I'm a middle aged man.

I spend my day talking to people.

My spouse has an extreme shopping habit.

I am so unhappy in my marriage.

[Speaker 1] Hi want to be friends

[Speaker 2] Yes. I need a friend now while I'm going to divorce soon.

[Speaker 1] That sounds hard. Were you married long

[Speaker 2] I was 20 when we married and 40 now so that long.

[Speaker 1] Wow. Sorry it did not work out. I hope to get married one day

[Speaker 2] Hope it is better. She takes all the money from my bad job and spends it.

[Speaker 1] You need to get to know some one well I guess. Did you share hobbies

[Speaker 2] No we didn't. I sell cars just for her to blow the money.

[Speaker 1] I like music and video gaming

[Speaker 2] I like television and she loves shopping.

[Speaker 1] You need to find someone to netflix and chill with.

[Speaker 2] I guess we did do that together. Maybe I'll keep her.

[Speaker 1] Nah. You need someone to enjoy the whole relationship with

[Speaker 2] She does have more good than bad.

[Speaker 1] I guess you know best. Is she pretty?

[Speaker 2] Yes but her personality is more beautiful.


I quit my job to pursue my spirituality full time.

I like meditation.

I have not spoken in three months.

I live in alaska.

Since the surgery I have had strange powers.

I was born with my heart outside my body.

I had to have a transplant.

I can move objects with my mind.

I'm a boy.

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

I do yoga to relax.

I'm temporarily mute.

My home borders canada and the bering sea.

After my operation, I can read minds.
I entered the world with some issues.
I owe my life to an organ donor.
I have telekinesis.
I am male.

[Speaker 1] Hello, I would like to get to know you, do you have a moment to speak?

[Speaker 2] I would like to chat with you.

[Speaker 1] Thank you. You are the first person I hae spoken to in three months.

[Speaker 2] Oh, wow. Why has it been so long?

[Speaker 1] I quit my job in alaska and went soul searching. Have you ever been there?

[Speaker 2] I haven't been there before. What did you used to do for work?

[Speaker 1] I worked in customer service but never felt connected to the people I worked with.

[Speaker 2] I understand. I often feel isolated, as well.

[Speaker 1] You are not alone, my friend. Have you ever tried meditation?

[Speaker 2] I've. It comes in handy when life gets... Out of control.

[Speaker 1] True. Have you had recent experiences you'd like to share?

[Speaker 2] I was born with a heart condition and received a transplant. It changed me.

[Speaker 1] How is the transplant holding up?

[Speaker 2] Fine, except... I have developed these strange abilities. I can... Move things with my mind.

[Speaker 1] That sounds amazing. I sometimes tried to do that after meditation. Never worked.

[Speaker 2] It can be scary. Why did you choose to find yourself in alaska?

[Speaker 1] Something just pulled me north and it is the perfect setting to pursue my spirituality.

[Speaker 2] I hear it is lovely there. I've to go now. Thank you for chatting!

I have gone three months without speaking to anyone.

I used to have a job in Alaska. I recently quit my job. I used to work in customer service.

I practice meditation. I moved to Alaska to pursue my spirituality.

I have never been to Alaska.

I often feel isolated.

I practice meditation.

I received a heart transplant. I have telekinesis.

[Speaker 1] I was thinking a lot about your special abilities. When did you first discover you could move things?

[Speaker 2] I discovered telekinesis after years of hard meditation and the receiving og my heart transplant. After the life changing altercation I know I was a special person and meant to be something. I started practicing for years and years. WIth telekinesis it takes time, but it is a crazy ability to have.

[Speaker 1] It's an awesome ability to have. With some training you could become an actual super hero that fights crime. How often do you meditate?

[Speaker 2] I meditate everyday and before that I have to go a few minutes without speaking to anyone. I remember yesterday you said you have not spoke with anyone in 3 months. Why is that? Does it help your meditation skills. lol and im the first person you spoke to in that three month period?

[Speaker 1] I haven't spoke to anyone because i've been in a remote part of Alaska living in a cabin.  It has helped my meditation skills. And your the 3rd person ive spoken too. I called my Mom and Dad to give them an update.

[Speaker 2] WOah interesting, I have never been to Alaska in my life at all. I Often feel isolated myself and sometimes dont feel great mentally. I am glad I am the 3rd person you have spoken to. Do you have a job in alaska? Why did you quit your last one?

[Speaker 1] Sorry to hear that, Alaska is a nice place to find yourself. I quit my last job because i got tired at working in customer service. I am going to start at an Oil Well in 3 weeks.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I heard Alaska pursues  a lot of sprituality. Whats that about? That is one of the most interesting places I have ever heard of for that reason alone!

[Speaker 1] It beautiful and the climate is just relaxing duing the summer. Id reccomend it sometime.

[Speaker 2] How does Alaska affect sprituality? Will it increase my spirtuality if I stay there?

[Speaker 1] I feel more at peace and i think the reason for that is because when you are there living in nature you have no worries at all. Your real world problems just seem to disappear.

[Speaker 2] I  might have to go to Alaska it sounds like a great place to be at. Do you suggest any certain places or spots to go there?

I used to have a job in Alaska.

I haven't spoken to anyone in three months. I live in a remote part of Alaska in a cabin

I recommend the climate of Alaska, especially in the summer. I feel at peace and spiritual living in Alaska.

I often feel isolated.

I believe I possess telekinesis. I had a heart transplant.

I meditate everyday.

I haven't been to Alaska before. I am interested in going to Alaska.

[Speaker 1] I was thinking about places in Alaska that is good to visit for spiritual folk, and I am happy to make some recommendations for you. For starters, I recommend seeing and being near the Mendenhall Glacier.

[Speaker 2] Thanks for the recommendation, I've just looked it up and it seems beautiful. I find mountainous places really calming, for example I've been to the Austrian Alps before. Have you ever been to the Alps?

[Speaker 1] I have never been to the Austrian Alps, but I have heard of them! Can you tell me more about it? I'm sure it's beautiful!

[Speaker 2] Well the Alps themselves stretch across parts of France, Switzerland, Austria and Italy. Once of the most famous places is probably Chamonix in France, as that's where Mont Blanc is (they highest mountain in Europe). It's also a really famous place for skiing, though I've never been skiing before. Have you?

[Speaker 1] Wow! Sounds much more extensive than I initially thought! What do you do when you visit there? I love skiing, yes. It can be challenging at first, but it really is a lot of fun once you get enough practice in. I used to ski a lot when I was a teenager.

[Speaker 2] The few times I've been to the Alps we've visited various towns and gone on excursions to glaciers and ice caves and all sorts. I wish I had tried skiing when I was a bit younger, I'm worried about hurting myself now! Though I'm sure I'd be ok if I took it slowly. Would I need to buy all the skiing gear before going or can you hire it when you're there?

[Speaker 1] You can rent all of the skiing gear when you go, so don't even worry about buying any. That way you aren't wasting your money if you end up not liking it and never want to ski again. Just take your time and practice, practice, practice. Don't feel pressured to go down the larger hills at first. You'll get there eventually.

[Speaker 2] That's really useful to know, thank you. I was a bit worried about spending lots of money if I only used it once! I'll have a think about whether I can get a ski trip in over the next couple of years; I should really add it to my bucket list. And I will avoid the larger hills at first; someone I know was forced by their brother to go down a tricky one almost immediately and he had a bad crash!

[Speaker 1] Oh no! Were they okay? Or did they get hurt? I have heard many horror stories about skiing accidents- lots of broken bones and even death sometimes. Being careful is so incredibly important. Safety first!

[Speaker 2] Safety first for sure! Miraculously they didn't break anything but they were very bruised. Their brother felt awful for ages afterwards!

[Speaker 1] I'm glad they were okay. Wow, I'm sure that was very scary for them. I can't wait to hear how your skiing trip goes in the next few years! You're going to love it. I just know it. And if not, at least you'll be seeing some beautiful scenery.

[Speaker 2] Haha that's true, at the very least I'll be able to be up in the mountains (and enjoy a beer at the lodge in the evening)! I'll have to start planning both a skiing trip and my trip to Alaska!

I used to have a job in Alaska.

I have never visited the Austrian Alps.

I enjoy skiing. I skied a lot  when I was a teenager.

I often feel isolated.

I meditate everyday.

I find mountains to be relaxing. I've visited the Austrian Alps.

I've never been skiing.

I've visited glaciers and ice caves.

I don't want to spend money only to abandon a hobby.

I like beer.

[Speaker 1] Have you begun to plan your trip to Alaska?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I've started planning a route.

[Speaker 1] Will you travel by plane or cruise?

[Speaker 2] I'm thinking about driving from Idaho.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, that is quite a trip.  Do you know how many days that will take?

[Speaker 2] I suppose it depends on the terrain. I'm not worried though, I'll have plenty of time to make the trip.

[Speaker 1] That is awesome.  I wish I had more time to travel.  I would love to go to Asia

[Speaker 2] Wow! You couid almost walk there!  Where do you want to go in  Asia?

[Speaker 1] I would love to trek the Great Wall of China

[Speaker 2] That would be exciting to see.  Do you think you'll ever do it?

[Speaker 1] Yes, as soon as I save up the money!

[Speaker 2] Lot's of oil pumping in your future then!

I used to have a job in Alaska.

I recently quit my last job which was customer service. I am starting a new job at an Oil Well in 3 weeks.  My work involves pumping oil.

I have never visited the Austrian Alps.

I wish I had more time to travel. I would love to travel across the Great Wall of China. I do not have enough money to travel to the Great Wall of China yet.

I often feel isolated.

I meditate everyday.

I haven't been to Alaska before.

I've never been skiing.

I've visited glaciers and ice caves.

I like beer.

I will be travelling to Alaska via car, from Idaho. I have enough free time to drive to Alaska, even if unexpected obstacles arise.

[Speaker 1] I am curious why you want to travel through Canada to Alaska by car.  I feel like the terrain will make that trip unnecessarily treacherous and difficult.

[Speaker 2] I think the view will be gorgeous and therefore worth the effort. Besides, a car trip will always be fun!

[Speaker 1] It is gorgeous out here. Far be it from me to stop you! I hope your car is fully prepared for the weather.

[Speaker 2] Even if it doesn't, I'm sure that it'll be safe with my telekinesis ability!

[Speaker 1] Good point. You'd be able to let me know where you were in case you needed a rescue!

[Speaker 2] Will do! And you can also let me know too if you decide to travel and have any troubles -- and by the way I remember that you want to travel across the Great Wall of China?

[Speaker 1] I do! I just don't want to be one of those travelers that has to rely on the kindness of strangers to get by so I'm saving up as much money as I can. Or maybe I should just go and abuse your telekinesis powers.

[Speaker 2] Ah I see, it's always good to be more independent and you'll feel more accomplished for traveling all by yourself. I definitely get what you mean, but always feel free to reach out!

[Speaker 1] Of course! I treasure our friendship. It seems like a once in a lifetime event to even meet someone with telekinesis.

[Speaker 2] I know right! I am really proud of my ability, and I haven't told anyone besides you, some family members and close friends because I'm afraid the government will find out and capture me.

[Speaker 1] That's smart. Just look at what they did to the aliens in Area 51. We can't have you reduced to a life of being a test subject.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I'll probably be tormented everyday, although speaking of aliens it would be quite cool to actually be captured and locked at the same cell as an alien. I wonder what alien look like.

[Speaker 1] Aw I'm sorry. Why are you lonely?

[Speaker 2] Well, living in a cloud I guess has that effect.

[Speaker 1] That sounds interesting and fun. I am married and I've 2 kids.

[Speaker 2] That sounds nice, I bet you are never lonely.

[Speaker 1] Not too often. We just recently bought a house.

[Speaker 2] I am too young to buy a house, at least most people say so about little girls.

[Speaker 1] Are you still in school?

[Speaker 2] I am suppose to be, but I use my super powers to stop time and not go.

[Speaker 1] Sounds like an interesting life you lead.

[Speaker 2] It is lonely, could I come play with your kids?

[Speaker 1] Sure. We can work out a play date sometime

[Speaker 2] They could come see my cloud home.

[Speaker 1] They would love that I am sure.

[Speaker 2] I bet they would, it is so bouncy and fun there.

[Speaker 2] True but I like to try to keep my figure down.

[Speaker 1] As do I, which is why I exercise.

[Speaker 2] The most exercise I do is walking my dogs

[Speaker 1] I love dogs. What kind do you have?

[Speaker 2] I have a hound and a pitbull. And I love them very much.

[Speaker 1] One of my outdoor cats went missing!

[Speaker 2] Oh no!!!   What can I do to help?  Have you put up flyers?

[Speaker 1] Yes, some of the people at the soup kitchen and I made some flyers and posted them at several places. Oh I'm just beside myself. How are your pups? I hope they are all accounted for!

[Speaker 2] They are - right in my sight sound asleep on the sofa.  I bet that you are besides yourself with worry.  Can I call aournd at the shelters for you?

[Speaker 1] I've already been calling and they have her picture. Little claws has people looking out for her. I greatly appreciate your willingness to help! It sure is a comforting feeling!

[Speaker 2] I just know that if I was in your postion, I would want all the help I could get until my baby came home.  I feel so badlya nd can only pray she makes it home safely.  Maybe you can watch the other cat and see if it leads you on a trail to her?

[Speaker 1] Possibly, that's a great idea! Well, besides all that excitement, how

[Speaker 2] How am I?  Doing good, ready for the school year to be over. As a retired teacher, I am sure that you know that feeling!

[Speaker 1] Yes, that's exactly what I was going to ask you! Sorry I hit the return button on accident! Oh Lord yes! I can totally relate! It can be a little overwhelming towards the end of the year! But the most exciting part about it getting ready for a new group of kiddos!

[Speaker 2] I'll be excited about it after the summer break  :)

[Speaker 1] I always was excited and ready to teach! You meet some interesting characters teaching...some can be a little tough to break but I've always had a way with the tough kids@

[Speaker 1] Yesterday, I got a call from a person that said they have my cat. They are currently taking care of them in their home. I am planning on going to their house tomorrow, and bringing my cat back home.

[Speaker 2] Yay!! So glad to hear that. Where did they find your cat?

[Speaker 1] It was just outside their house. It was probably lost and homesick. I was so worried while he was gone, but the call I got really was a relief.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure he was, thankfully he's safe now. Has this ever happened before with him? Or with any of your other pets?

[Speaker 1] Not where they were gone that long. They are always home for supper and feeding time. Did your dogs ever get lost from home before?

[Speaker 2] That makes sense, I wonder what happened this time? And yes! My pitbull started chasing a cat one time and I couldn't keep up with her. I found her later that day. It was so stressful!

[Speaker 1] I believe it. I bet your dogs are going to be so happy when your home for summer break.

[Speaker 2] Definitely. I'm actually planning on taking them on a roadtrip with me! It'll be their first roadtrip :)

[Speaker 1] Sounds like fun. When I was a gym teacher I looked forward to summer break every year, I hope you make the most of it.

[Speaker 2] Are you planning anything for the summer?

[Speaker 1] Just relaxing with my cats and grilling out at home. You should come over when you aren’t on your road trip and I can make us cheeseburgers. My secret recipe.

[Speaker 2] I'd love to, but I'm actually a vegetarian! So I'll have to pass on the cheeseburgers. I'm sure they're delicious though.

My favorite food is cheeseburgers.

I am a woman.

I am a woman.

I exercise. I have dogs:one is a hound, one is a pitbull. I lost her once but found her later that day.

I am a currently a teacher in a school. I enjoy teaching students. I am excited about summer break. I am planning on taking my dogs on a road trip with me.

I am vegetarian.

[Speaker 1] I actually found vegetarian and vegan-safe burgers made of plants that we could have for dinner if you'd like.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great. Sometimes there are only one or two brands that are decent, compared to beef, ham, etc. Have you tried them yet?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I really enjoyed them. Do you have a lot of good vegetarian recipes?

[Speaker 2] In between work and maintaining my place, my cooking skills are average at best. Although there are a few decent meals. There's a great vegetarian bacon, that goes well with cheddar. How about you?

[Speaker 1] I try and mix in a few every now and then, but I really like cheeseburgers, so I tend to throw a little meat in the diet. How are your dogs doing?

[Speaker 2] Oh I love those little dogs, and they keep me busy to be sure! Great at snuggles on the couch though. I'm so grateful to have them.  Wonder if the cats like veggie meat?

[Speaker 1] They prefer the real stuff, for sure. I've tried to give them little veggie snacks and they don't like them at all. They are true hunters.

[Speaker 2] Also, dogs and cats have such a keen sense of smell. We smell a few hundred scents, they can smell thousands, some dogs. We'll just have to be mindful of their health! Love walking the dogs.

[Speaker 1] Where are you planning on going on your roadtrip?

[Speaker 2] Planning on the west side of the state, still researching locations. Nice to have a little fun to look forward to! Curious how your soup kitchen work has been ?

[Speaker 1] It has been going well. We have had a lot of volunteers coming in, so I have had a lot of help.

[Speaker 2] It feels great when there's enough support, and you can see the difference in the people you serve! Good job!

My favorite food is cheeseburgers.

I am a woman.

I plan to relax with my cats and grill out at my home this summer. I can cook veggie burgers for dinner. My cats do not like veggie meat.

I am a woman.

I am vegetarian. I am an average cook.

I have dogs.

I love walking dogs.

I am going on a road trip to the west side of the state.

[Speaker 1] Have you decided on any spots to visit on your road trip?

[Speaker 2] Oh I have so many ideas its hard to pick at this point. And friend of mine keep suggesting even more! Its gotten quite overwhelming honestly. I Mount Rushmore is my number one choice for now.!

[Speaker 1] Oh cool, that sounds like fun. It is nice that you'll have your dogs for company

[Speaker 2] Absolutely! I always have fun hanging out with them, they are amazing. Speaking of dogs, do you have anything interesting planned with your dog this summer?

[Speaker 1] Hmm not really, we will stick to daily walks.

[Speaker 2] Haha, well daily walks are always fun. Maybe we can join you some of these days, go on a group dog walk?

[Speaker 1] yes that would be fantastic! It would be nice for my pup to have more friends too.

[Speaker 2] Oh I agree, mine will absolutely love it too! I can already imagine their excitement. Perhaps we can combine it with a dinner? You can teach me how to make some of your delicious veggie burgers!

[Speaker 1] oh yes, i found a really good recipe. they're almost as good as cheeseburgers.

[Speaker 2] Terrific! Eating burgers and hanging out with all of the pets sounds pretty good to me. I can tell you about some of my more unruly students, I have some pretty interesting stories!

[Speaker 1] yes, we should meet before you go off on your roadtrip. Oh, tell me more about those unruly students. I remember some students when i was a teacher, complete monsters!

[Speaker 2] Right some kids just have too much energy if you ask me! I will tell you more about them when we meet, but lets just say lots of running is involved and during class time non the less.

[Speaker 1] Oh boy, yes! You know, before you buy a house you think "I buy the house and move in and maybe do some painting" but I found out the hard way it's never that simple! What kind of a house did you buy?

[Speaker 2] Yep! Well, the economy was right, so I was able to get the dream house; a mountain lodge! You'll have to see it sometime if you roll through on tour!

[Speaker 1] Oh I'd love to! How big is it? What kind of decor are you doing? I love the mountains so I bet it's a beautiful property!

[Speaker 2] It's a two story, but the top is like a loft. Not a huge foot print, but cozy. Still lots of decorating left to do. I'm thinking rustic.

[Speaker 1] Probably good for a lodge. And nice solid wood furniture will last you a long time! So how is your school going?

[Speaker 2] Just in the planning phase for now, but it would be great to learn about something I'm passionate about. Are you in school?

[Speaker 1] No, I'm done with school. I majored in History and Anthropology because I love learning about people. Are you still thinking about trying a science?

[Speaker 2] Yes, something in the ecology field. I think we share a love when it comes to nature and the parks!

[Speaker 1] I think you might be right! Do you like Great Smoky Mountains National Park?

[Speaker 1] Thats cool. I like rustic styles as well. The weathered qualiy makes it feel like they have been a part of my life for a long time.

[Speaker 2] so staci have you still been eating healthy?

[Speaker 1] Yes I have I just got finished with a quinoas salad with capers and onions.

[Speaker 2] wow staci i wish i could eat healthy like you do

[Speaker 1] Its not that hard Blob. You just have to hunt down the healthy stuff that agrees with your taste. I used to eat a lot of steak and eggs but I found greens that take away the craving and other savory vegetables that substitute for unhealthy options.

[Speaker 2] What kind of greens are you eating?

[Speaker 2] This may sound odd, but I love raw steak.  But, if I were to come over, I wouldn't expect that as a meal!  lol.  I am guessing you would serve mainly vegetables - probably spinach.

[Speaker 1] Haha I've never tried raw steak before! Maybe I'll look up a recipe. Would you like to watch a movie?

[Speaker 2] That would be great.  What movie were you thinking?

[Speaker 1] My favorite movie is 12 Angry Men. What's yours?

[Speaker 2] I like comedies generally.  My favorite is probably Happy Gilmore.  I think Adam Sandler is hysterical.

[Speaker 1] I think I have only seen him in Fifty First Dates, but I enjoyed it. Maybe we should find another Adam Sandler movie to watch!

[Speaker 2] Definitely.  If that is the only one you have seen you are missing out.  I will bring over a few different ones to choose from.  Do you have a DVD or a Blue-ray?

[Speaker 1] I have both! My dad gave me a Blue-ray set for my birthday last week

[Speaker 2] My name is Blob, and I fit the part, so don't go on many dates.  Leaves a lot of time for other activities!

[Speaker 1] Between rehearsals, concerts, studio recordings and writing new songs I don't get to go out a bunch either.

[Speaker 2] Wow, you are busy.  What is your latest song about?

[Speaker 1] It is about a woman who one day says to hell with all the social media and people moves to the country with chickens cows and horses and lives happily ever after.

[Speaker 2] That is awesome, I love the theme.  Any chance you would consider one about a boy named Blob?

[Speaker 1] You know what, I would be honored to write one bout a boy named Blob.

[Speaker 2] You may have to come spend some time eating some raw meat with me to get truly inspired

[Speaker 1] Tell you what. I would love a little break to come visit and see the amazing house your working on and get to know the Blob.  Not sure about the raw meat, maybe some suhsi

[Speaker 2] That's great, what have you been watching

[Speaker 1] Been watching the NASCAR races. Man do i love it.

[Speaker 2] Sounds interesting. I haven't seen it

[Speaker 1] I grew up in it, i think i told you my dad was a driver. Hows the dog walking going?

[Speaker 2] Well, I can't complain about it. Some dogs are just pretty stubborn, some days I have so much fun other days stressed out.

[Speaker 1] Yeah i guess it can be like that for anything. At least you are doing what you love though.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, you are right.  speaking about jobs, you said the last time your job is stressful, why is it?

[Speaker 1] Oh well with all the cuts from last year, we have to do 3 peoples work. Delivering mail has never been so hard.

[Speaker 2] Sorry about that, I won't say I understand how you feel completely though

[Speaker 1] Its ok its just a bit frustating, ill live heh. Oh i know we talked about being afraid of scorpions, but did i ever tell you the time my dad had to drive with one in his car!

[Speaker 1] I got the kindest gift from one of the people on my mail route today!

[Speaker 2] Really!? What did they give you? Is it NASCAR related?

[Speaker 1] No, I am not sure if they know my dad used to drive. They got me a really nice gift certificate to a spa so I can relax. My job has been very hard on me lately.

[Speaker 2] Aww, that's really nice of them!  Do you think you'll be able to use it anytime soon?  I know you've been doing lots of overtime lately.  But if it helps, I can look after your dogs while you're at the spa.

[Speaker 1] I am planning maybe next weekend to use it and I was going to look for someplace for Barnaby to go. That would be great if you could watch him for me! He loves when you take him on walks with your dogs.

[Speaker 2] Yeah definitely! I love dog walking and the more the merrier!  If it's okay with you, maybe I could take the group to the dog park?  Would Barnaby like that?

[Speaker 1] Yeah Barnaby gets along with all kinds of dogs. Just make sure you watch out for scorpions! I can't stand those things, and Barnaby gets jumpy around them too.

[Speaker 2] Okay, I will be extra cautious about the scorpions! I've never had issues with them, but I know their venom can be really harmful.  In fact, if the song Rock You Like a Hurricane is playing at the park I'll turn right around and keep the dogs in the car.

[Speaker 1] Probably a good idea. Well thank you very much for offering to watch my dog. I think it'll be great to get away for a while and forget about the stress of delivering the mail. Especially since we had to start delivering on Sundays now too!

[Speaker 2] Like I said, it's no problem and I'm happy to do whatever I can to help you reduce the amount of stress in your life.  How have your parents been doing lately?  Have you talked to them about your work?

[Speaker 1] My dad's enjoying his retirement from NASCAR. He still goes on the road sometimes to do signings and meet with the fans. My mom stopped selling AVON but she can still order me what I need if I ask her. She gets me this eye shadow I really like.

[Speaker 2] That's great! I'm not big into makeup, but it seems like a nice perk to have a mom that can get you what you like.  I wish my parents could hook me up, but the stuff my dad sells isn't useful to me at all, haha

I have government benefits. I think my job is stressful.I like to relax and watch TV on my days off work. I am a mailwoman. My job has been hard lately.

[Speaker 1] He doesn't socialize as often as I'd like, but he's a sweetheart.

[Speaker 1] That's awesome! I never went to college. How did you decide on UCLA?

[Speaker 2] I really wanted to go somewhere really different than home. And Los Angeles is very different from the UK!

[Speaker 1] Ah, do you ever get homesick? I know I would!

[Speaker 2] Sometimes, yes, but I do like the sunshine in Los Angeles. It's much cooler and much less sunny back home, but I do miss my family.

[Speaker 1] Do they ever come to visit you here or do you go back to visit them? I've never been to the UK before!

[Speaker 2] Oh, the English countryside is so beautiful! You should go. They do come here, but it's been a few years. Hopefully I'll get back to see them next year. It depends on how much business I can drum up.

[Speaker 1] Ah, I'm not much of a traveler but maybe one day! I hope you get to see them soon!

[Speaker 2] Thanks. So when are you headed out to see your parents?

I love sports. My parents are athletic.

I speak another language.

I love running in marathons.

I eat without slurping or making a mess.

I am a life coach.

[Speaker 1] Are you planning on running in any marathons soon?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I'm training for one right now that I'll run on Memorial Day! I'm looking forward to it. I'll probably take off for a few months after that because of the heat.

[Speaker 1] Oh Wow! I hope you have a great time. Is it for any particular cause?

[Speaker 2] Yes, this one is to support homeless Veterans. I try to pick good causes when I run but I do non-charity runs too sometimes. Do they do similar marathons where you're from?

[Speaker 1] That is an amazing cause! Yes, we have several around here each year.

[Speaker 2] That's great! I know your sport is pingpong, but have you ever thought about trying running? It's a little hard to get started but it's fun once you're used to it.

[Speaker 1] I'd really like to but I have some weak ankles. Any tips to get started?

[Speaker 2] Yes, you should see a podiatrist/foot doctor before you start. They can give you insoles for your shoes that adjust the way you step to make your ankles stronger. After that, look online for something like couch to 5K. It starts you out very slowly so you don't wear yourself out too early.

[Speaker 1] Oh ok! Thank you for the tips. I kind of thought I may need to see a doctor but to be honest I was trying to avoid it.

[Speaker 2] I know, it's a pain to go to the doctor. I had to get insoles myself because I have a really high arch and get plantar fasciitis. Once you go though you'll scold yourself for not doing it sooner, I did!

[Speaker 1] That gives me hope! I really think I have a case of plantar fasciitis myself. Sometimes its so hard to get up and get moving.

[Speaker 2] Oh, especially with plantar fasciitis! the insoles will definitely help. Also you can stretch your toes back toward you for a while before you get out of bed in the morning and that helps.

I am from China. I speak Mandarin. I can only play ping pong.

I really like to run in marathon. But I have some weak ankles. I may need to see a doctor but to be honest I was trying to avoid it.

I have a case of plantar fasciitis.

I love sports. My parents are athletic.

I speak another language.

I am a life coach.

I love running in marathons. I am training for Memorial Day marathon. I try to pick good causes when I run but I do non-charity runs.

I have a really high arch and get plantar fasciitis.

[Speaker 1] I will see the doctor definitely as you suggest.

[Speaker 2] I am glad you are. Plantar Fasciitis is no joke, it can really be painful and should be looked at so you can get the help you need.

[Speaker 1] What is that? I don't think I have ever heard of it?

[Speaker 2] It is a problem with the arch of your foot. It can be painful to walk on and function with. I have a big arch and that makes me susceptible to getting it.

[Speaker 1] Wow how fascinating. How long have you had that issue?

[Speaker 2] It’s been off and on for years now. I think all my running and training for marathons have made it worse but I really love doing those. I’m training for a marathon right now on Memorial Day weekend.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, how great. where will it be located?

[Speaker 2] It’s in upstate New York. Really beautiful countryside on the run too. I’ve always liked competition and running is my favorite.

[Speaker 1] How many races do you run in each year?

[Speaker 2] Usually three or four. Do you do any sports or athletic competitions?

[Speaker 1] Yes i play ice hockey in the local men's league

[Speaker 2] I thought you used to play Ping Pong as well. I remember you talking about it in the past.

I have a case of plantar fasciitis.

I've never heard of Plantar Fasciitis, but I think I may have it. I will go to the doctor.

I play ice hockey in the local men's league.

I love sports. My parents are athletic.

I speak another language.

I am a life coach.

I love running in marathons. I am training for Memorial Day marathon. The marathon I'm running is in upstate New York. I try to pick good causes when I run but I do non-charity runs.

My feet have a big arch.  My feet bother me off and on because of their big arch.

[Speaker 1] How is marathon training going?

[Speaker 2] Not well. I think I need to get custom fitted running shoes if I want to keep running without pain.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a good idea. As a life coach, you should know to treat your body better than that. Get some new shoes!

[Speaker 2] It's strange, I know. I can give advice but I can't take my own sometimes. At least we're both part of the Bad Foot Club.

[Speaker 1] Not a club I am happy to be in, yet here we are: foot frumps. Is the pain showing up in your race times?

[Speaker 2] Unfortunately, yes. I'm hoping not to fall behind my usual marathon time. Who else would raise money for charities?

[Speaker 1] Do you make money for them even if you aren't in the top 3?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I have my friends and family making wagers over me. Speaking of which, would you like to lose a bet?

[Speaker 1] That is good. And...no? But I am intriged.

[Speaker 2] If I can beat your next marathon time by 1 hour then you owe me $89.

[Speaker 1] I haven't even started running yet, but 1 hour? OK! I am IN. Time to start my training with these feet.

[Speaker 2] That's how much my new shoes are going to cost! I just hope you don't suddenly get faster.

I have a case of plantar fasciitis.

I have bad feet too.

I love sports. My parents are athletic.

I speak another language.

I am a life coach.

I am competitive. I run three or four races a year. I am in pain when I run. I have bad feet. My friends and family bet over me.

I raise money for charities.

I am buying new running shoes.

[Speaker 1] I won the bet fair and square!

[Speaker 2] That's great to hear. I'll be glad to pay up. Tell me what happened.

[Speaker 1] Well nothing much to talk about, basically luck is on my side this time and I'm so glad!

[Speaker 2] I'm glad you made such good time in your marathon. I'm back in training now that I have new shoes.

[Speaker 1] What new shoes did you get? And what colors?

[Speaker 2] I got a pair of Nike running shoes. I found a pair with great impact absorbtion. They have room for the arch supports I had from my podiatrist. The color is nothing fancy, gray with a bit of red. But watch out for me now. I bet by fall I will be able to win any bet you want to make. Did you like the race? Are you goint to run another one?

[Speaker 1] Oh that's cool, I also have to buy shoes one size up just to fit arch supports. Although it's annoying since I wasn't aware of this before and now a lot of shoes I bought before will go to waste. And yes I enjoyed the race, I might run another one after a few months and more preparation.

[Speaker 2] Running makes you feel so good. I thought that once you tried it you would like it. Where in China are you from? Do you live in the USA now?

[Speaker 1] I'm from Hunan, which is southern China and there are a lot of amazing views there! You should definitely visit if you have a chance! And I'm currently vacationing in the U.S. right now, specifically in New York since that's where people usually go.

[Speaker 2] I hope you enjoy your time here. My only knowledge of China comes from National Geographic Magazine my parents got when I was a kid. There were some beautiful photographs. But my memory of the facts about China are poor. Where else are you going to visit while you are here?

[Speaker 1] I think China has improved a lot over the years, I know that now most people pay via wechat pay instead of cash or credit card, so the technology is definitely catching up. And I'm not sure where else to visit, is there any place you would recommend?

[Speaker 2] Boston has a lot of historical places and is not far away from New York.

[Speaker 1] Hello. How are you this lovely evening?

[Speaker 2] I am sweaty. I just got done working out for my job as a wrestler. You?

[Speaker 1] I am great. I went for a run earlier. Marathon, you know?

[Speaker 2] I've never done a marathon. I should try it. How many have you done?

[Speaker 1] My husband just convinced me to run my first. He has run 3 this year alone.

[Speaker 2] That's great. I help out at the homeless shelter. It is very fulfilling.

[Speaker 1] Giving back to the community is a very selfless thing to do. Good for you!

[Speaker 2] Thanks, I like people. I think most of them are good, so I try to help.

[Speaker 1] That's a great attitude to have. I believe you are right. Do you have any hobbies?

[Speaker 2] I spend most of my time with my job and helping people. Do you have any hobbies?

[Speaker 1] Sports, cooking only vegetarian meals, though, spending time with my husband

[Speaker 2] I couldn't do vegetarian. I need a lot of protein for my body

[Speaker 1] I eat a lot of beans for protein.

[Speaker 2] How do you control the gas? I do like beans, just not too many.

[Speaker 1] After awhile, your body gets used to it.

[Speaker 2] What is your favorite meal?

I'm a professional wrestler.

I've never done a marathon but I'm open to the idea.

[Speaker 1] I've been making some really great vegetarian recipes lately if you'd like me to share them with you.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great since its hard for me to think of vegetarian foods I could make.

[Speaker 1] Great!  I'll email them to you. Also, I think that you could double and triple the recipes to serve at the shelter.  Beans can go a long way

[Speaker 2] Yeah it's always nice to have new recipes to serve at the shelter maybe I will suggest it next I help out.

[Speaker 1] Doesn't hurt to make a suggestion, for sure.  I bet that you meet a ton of interesting people at the shelter and while wrestling

[Speaker 2] Yep there is always interesting stories and you get to meet a lot of different people. How has your training been going for your first marathon?

[Speaker 1] Gruling for sure.  The first few miles are rough and then you get into a rythm.  But towards the end, I'm feeling it for sure!

[Speaker 2] That sounds tough but I would be open to the idea of running a marathon especially if its for an important cause.

[Speaker 1] The marathon I am training for is to support a local dog rescue group.  My husband has done 3 already this year, so I figured I can train and get this done!!

[Speaker 2] That sounds like great motivation knowing that you will be helping something you care about.

[Speaker 1] Exactly...  Helps to keep me motivated for sure!!

[Speaker 2] I imagine your husband has been a great source of motivation too since he has done 3 marathons this year.

I've been learning to cook vegetarian dishes.

I'm a professional wrestler.

I help out at the homeless shelter. I find helping at the shelter to be very fulfilling. I spend most of my time with my job and helping people. I meet interesting people.

I'm thinking about running a marathon.

[Speaker 1] Are there any local marathons you could take part in?

[Speaker 2] Yeah there's one coming up in September but I think that might be too soon to commit - maybe waiting until next year would be better. What do you think?

[Speaker 1] I think thats a wise decision. You will have more time to train and get into the sport of it.

[Speaker 2] That's what I'm thinking too - I guess I could always go for a half marathon this year, I've already got up to 10km or so on my runs. Have you ever ran a half?

[Speaker 1] Not yet. I think I might though to get a feel for what they are like and what my actual pace will be.

[Speaker 2] That's a good idea - I love the idea of it but I'm worried if I try too soon I'll fail and it will put me off sticking with marathon training

[Speaker 1] I think that perhaps participating in a walk marathon or half marathon might get you past those fears. I did one on my own and it wasnt that bad. Thats why I'm training for them now.

[Speaker 2] Maybe! It's a big commitment either way even if it is only a half marathon. Has your husband been helping you with your training?

[Speaker 1] He has. He goes out on his short morning run and takes me with him. He goes slower so I can keep up.

[Speaker 2] That's so good to have a running buddy who can help you. I love going out on my own so I can just listen to my music and clear my head when I'm running

[Speaker 1] I love it for that too. Its so nice to be able to get all my energy out.

[Speaker 2] 100% sometimes when I start my long runs I think why do I do this to myself? But then I get into my groove and by the end of it I feel such a natural high!

I have never run a half marathon, but am considering it.

I'm a professional wrestler.

I'm thinking about running a marathon. I run about 10km on my runs. I like the idea of running a half marathon but I am nervous about failing and losing motivation. I love running on my own and listening to music to clear my head.

Sometimes I regret my decision to start a long run, but by the end I feel a natural high.

[Speaker 1] I heard of a program that helps people acclimate their runs and increase them to the point where they are running half marathons.

[Speaker 2] What is the name of the program?

[Speaker 1] Run 'til You Drop: 15 Steps Towards Self-Actualization.

[Speaker 2] How long do you think it will take to reach your goal?

[Speaker 1] My husband and I have been steadily increasing our morning runs. I'm pretty close to the half-marathong level now.  I still have 3 months to train for the marathon though, so I think it's going well.

[Speaker 2] Ok you guys should definitely be ready by then. Is your goal to win it or just run in it?

[Speaker 1] Oh, my goal is just to finish it!  My husband will probably try to get in the top 10, but for me it's just knowing that I did it the first time.

[Speaker 2] That's a great goal! Have you ever thought about being vegan?

[Speaker 1] Not really.  I like having dairy in my diet, and use a lot of milk in the recipes I cook.

[Speaker 2] Dairy is hard to give up. I use plant milk in my recipes.

[Speaker 1] It is hard to give up.  The protein is important.  I don't think I could do without it.

[Speaker 2] Milk is not the only source of protein. Would you eat seaweed? It's packed with protein.

I go running. I'm training for my first marathon. My husband convinced me to run my first marathon. My husband has run three marathons this year alone. I go on short morning runs with my husband. I have a marathon in 3 months. I am not bothered about winning the marathon.

Sports, cooking vegetarian meals, and spending time with my husband are my hobbies. I'm a vegetarian. I eat a lot of beans for protein. I use alot of milk in my recipies.

I'm a professional wrestler.

I feel I couldn't be a vegetarian. I like beans I just can't eat many of them. I don't know any vegetarian recipes. I use plant milk in my recipes.

[Speaker 1] I bought some seaweed to try during my grocery rounds and im loving it!

[Speaker 2] Really! Why did you decide to try it?

[Speaker 1] Well you know, it's always nice to try some new stuffs when you're bored. And I heard that seaweed is nutritious. Have you tried any new food recently?

[Speaker 2] Yes, but here's a secret... I had kale for the first time yesterday and I wasn't really a fan.

[Speaker 1] haha that's many people's first reaction. Kale alone doesn't taste good at all, but I heard baked kale chips taste good if you want to take a second try

[Speaker 2] Do I buy them or make them myself?

[Speaker 1] You can buy them or make them yourself, it depends on you, but I'd say it's easier to just buy them. I tried some before and it's pretty good, I like them.

[Speaker 2] Okay, I'll try it out. Would you say those chips are good for the nutrition, too? If so, it might be helpful for the training, right?

[Speaker 1] They are but I would still classify them as more or less healthier "junk food". For you training, it's best to get high protein food like milk and meat.

[Speaker 2] Good to hear. Have you ever had meat yourself?

[Speaker 1] No since my family is vegetarian so I grew up vegetarian. But I have tried mock meat like the beyond hamburger which is really good

[Speaker 2] Wow, but steak is so good! Like you said, I feel like it helps a lot with the protein for wrestling.

I work at a school.
I'm expecting triplets in three months.
I recently moved to this country.

Horror movies are my favorites.

My father used to work for home depot.

I've a son who is in junior high school.

I spent a decade working in the human services field.

My spouse has kids from a previous marriage.

I slave away at a daycare.

I have a hard time sleeping.

I immigrated within the past few years.

Bride of chucky is the best film out there.

I dad was an employee of a big diy store.

My kid finished his elementary education last year.

For ten years I was employed in meeting peoples needs.

[Speaker 1] Hello there, how are you? Do you live nearby?

[Speaker 2] Hi! I love horror movies. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I don't watch many movies since starting my new job, what do you do?

[Speaker 2] Cool me too. My father once worked in home depot.

[Speaker 1] I do not know home depot, I moved here not too long ago. What are you doing?

[Speaker 2] I'm working in human service field. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I recently started a job with the local high school. You have any children?

[Speaker 2] That's cool. My son is in junior high school.

[Speaker 1] I have one child, although he isn't mine by blood. Have you been here long?

[Speaker 2] Yes I have been here for a while. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I've only been here four months now. How old are you?

[Speaker 2] I'm not that old. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I'm younger as well, but I got married young too. Are you married?

[Speaker 2] Yes I'm. I've a child who is 14

[Speaker 1] That's nice, my child just turned 12 a few weeks ago.

[Speaker 2] That's really great. I hope you have a healthy future.

I don't watch many movies.

I moved here recently. I've been here for four months. I don't know Home Depot.

I recently started a job at the local high school.

I have one child, but he isn't blood related to me.

I'm younger as well, but I got married young. My child turned 12 a few weeks ago.

I love horror movies.

My father once worked at Home Depot.

I work in a human service field.

My son is a junior in high school and he is 14.

I've been here awhile. I'm not that old. I'm married.

[Speaker 1] My job is getting busy and stressful, but I'm still enjoying it.

[Speaker 2] What do you do at the high school. I am sure that environment is very hectic!

[Speaker 1] I am a library aid, so I help the head librarian plan and run activities for various groups at the school along with regular library duties like checking out and shelving books. My favorite part of the job is helping the students with research; you learn so many interesting things.

[Speaker 2] That sounds really nice. It is nice to make a difference. That's why I like human resources - to help people.

[Speaker 1] I've always been pretty introverted, so at first having to interact with so many high-schoolers was intimidating, but now I find myself looking forward to them coming to me for help. I guess my love for helping people bloomed late; have you always been a people person?

[Speaker 2] I think so. I used to visit my dad at Home Depot and watch him help everyone. I guess it rubbed off on me. I try to teach it to my kid.

[Speaker 1] That's a lovely lesson to be teaching your child! For me it's been the opposite; my stepson has been guiding me towards being a more helpful person. Our bond is one I never thought I'd have, but now that he's in my life, I don't know what I'd do without him.

[Speaker 2] That is so wonderfu. I treasure the relationship I have with my child. Although now that he is in high school I am no longer cool.

[Speaker 1] I'm sure once he leaves home, you'll be the first person he calls whenever he needs help or advice. I've been pleasantly surprised by how wonderful the majority of high-shcoolers are; they certainly don't deserve the bad reputation that so many teenagers are stuck with.

[Speaker 2] They do get a bad rap at times, but it is not their fault. You cannot generalize everyone.

[Speaker 1] I agree! I see these young people performing kind acts every day; it's really uplifting.

[Speaker 2] I like uplifting things. Well, except for movies. The scarier, the better, for those.

I don't watch many movies.

I recently started a job as a library aide at the local high school.

I'm younger as well, but I got married young. My stepson turned 12 a few weeks ago.

Although I am an introvert, I look forward to helping high-schoolers. I love helping people.

I have a stepson who is teaching me to be more helpful. I value my relationship with my stepson. Watching the kindness of young people makes me happy.

I love horror movies.

I work in human resources and enjoy helping people. I have always been a people person, like my dad who worked at Home Depot. I have a child.

I value my relationship with my high school-aged son.

[Speaker 1] I just saw that new horror movie. It gave me nightmares all week!

[Speaker 2] what was the movie about?

[Speaker 1] The chainsaw one!! From the early 2000's. Oh my goodness...yikes!

[Speaker 2] Wow i remember that one! that one gave me nightmares for weeks

[Speaker 1] That makes me feel better. Haha. I am definitely not a horror fanatic like you!

[Speaker 2] Yes i sure do i like them! boy oh boy do i love em! jeepers creepers!

[Speaker 1] Haha! Speaking of...Do you recall the movie Jeepers Creepers?!

[Speaker 2] no i can not say that i do! boy howdy!

[Speaker 1] You should check it out! It was definitely SCARY! I couldn't sleep for a week!

[Speaker 2] Oh wow i will most certainly give it a shot! I sure cannot wait to give it a holler!

[Speaker 1] You will have to give me a review after you watch it!

[Speaker 2] Yes i will most certainly will! we can meet and talk about how great of friends we are!

I don't watch many movies.

I love horror movies.

I had nightmares for weeks. I never saw Jeepers Creepers.

[Speaker 1] I saw another horror movie and thought of you. I don't think I will be watching anymore, too scary for me!

[Speaker 2] Oh wow!  Well that's very brave of you!  Did it give you nightmares?

[Speaker 1] No I slept fine! I cuddled with my cat before I fell asleep

[Speaker 2] Cats are wonderful for that! What is your cat's name?

[Speaker 1] My cat's name is Fish! Because he's the only cat I know who likes to be in water. DO you have any pets?

[Speaker 2] haha!! That's a great name!!  I have 2 cats.  Paris and Wiggles are their names.  Paris loves water as well, which I thought was odd.  He likes to jump in the shower when the water is on!

[Speaker 1] Oh wow! Does your son like your cats?

[Speaker 2] He absolutely LOVES them!!  He spends alot of time with them.  He is particularly close with Wiggles.  They are best friends.  Does your son get along with your cat?

[Speaker 1] He didn't like Fish at first but Fish has grown on him. Now he volunteers at an animal shelter

[Speaker 2] That's wonderful!!! I have tried to encourage my son to volunteer.  He plays on the varsity soccer team, so he gets busy often.  Does he enjoy the shelter?

[Speaker 1] He said it's very rewarding but sometimes sad to see all those mistreated pets. It's great that your son plays soccer! Do you like any sports?

[Speaker 2] I can imagine that being hard to see.  All those sweet animals deserve love!  I love sports!! I enjoy soccer and basketball the most, but I also enjoy watching football.

I don't watch many movies.

I had nightmares for a week. I do not like horror movies. I have seen Jeepers Creepers. Horror movies are too scary for me.

I cuddle with my cat. My cats name is Fish. My cat likes to be in water. My Son volunteers at an animal shelter.

I love horror movies.

I have two cats called Paris and Wiggles. My cat Paris likes water.My Son loves cats and is best friends with Wiggles.

My Son plays on the Varsity Soccer team. I love sports. I enjoy soccer, basketball and football.

[Speaker 1] I had the worst nightmare last night! The scarecrow from Jeepers Creepers was at the end of my bed! I woke up panicking.

[Speaker 2] Oh my god that must be frightening!! Did you watch too many horror movies yesterday?

[Speaker 1] I didn't! All it took was one scary commercial. That's how much of a wuss I am. I can't handle anything! I will cuddle with my cat to feel better.

[Speaker 2] Haha that's funny that it's just a commercial, I'm sorry that you had the scary nightmare but I can't help but literally laughing loud. By the way how are your cats doing?

[Speaker 1] i know, i know, i wish i could handle scary things. i don't know how people do it!! my cat is doing very good. so spoiled. how about yours? do they actually get along and play together?

[Speaker 2] Oh no I hope they can get along. Paris wants to play with Wiggles, but Wiggle always just attack Paris with his paws. I think they just need more time together.

[Speaker 1] cats are so funny that way. you can never predict what they will do. that's why i like them, such fun personalities. much better than dogs, i think. did you ever have dogs?

[Speaker 2] Nah two cats are enough for me to handle, adding a dog will drive me crazy haha. And I'm a cat person, I enjoy their unpredictability too even though that can cause me some troubles.

[Speaker 1] yes, i agree, they definitely can be trouble makers! i have had a dog before too and they demand a lot more attention and take a lot of time and energy. can be good, if that's what you are looking for.  how has your son been lately?

[Speaker 2] Yeah dogs definitely take more work, and you have to walk them several times a day. Oh and my son is doing well, just more stressed since the state tests are coming up and he has to study more to be prepared for them.

[Speaker 1] oh man, i dont miss taking tests back in school! that was never fun. does he want to go to college, or does he know yet?

[Speaker 2] He's researching for colleges right now so I think he will apply to some next year. Although we don't have college saving so either he has to find a college that provides good financial aid or he has to earn some good scholarships.

[Speaker 1] Wow that's so many! How do they get along? My job search its going well, I got a couple of offers from doctor's offices. My wife got a job though, so our financial situation its less volatile.

[Speaker 2] They all get along really well, they've been together since they were very young. They're all former strays. Three of them (the shorthairs) are all sixteen so it's like a kitty nursing home in here sometimes, haha. I'm glad the job search is going well, and that the financial situation is more stable. It's so stressful to be short of money!

[Speaker 1] Good on you for rescuing strays! Are you going to rescue more, since some are getting older? And it is such a relief. I was worried we were gonna have to explain to your daughters why her moms were so stressed, but I think she doesn't know we were broke for a bit. She is too young to have to hear about family budget issues.

[Speaker 2] We are going to try to take some time off from cats for a bit after...well, you know. Nature takes its course. Vet bills for older cats are expensive since they need to go more often and need more testing. We're considering getting a puppy. Our two dogs now are rescues, but I had a Basset Hound that I raised from puppyhood til she died at 15, and I'm finally at the point where I can handle having another. I think it's a good idea to not let your daughter know about the money issues. Kids can really internalize stuff like that as being "their fault" somehow.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I can imagine it gets hard when they get old. A puppy might be a nice change of pace! We've been thinking about getting a kitten for our daughter now that life is more balanced out.  And I agree,  kids don't need to reach adulthood too early.

[Speaker 2] Kittens are great. I think they're actually better for kids than puppies sometimes because kittens will be more companionate and they're easier to care for - no walking!

[Speaker 1] Oh definitely! They're also more self sufficient,  so we don't need to constantly provide a kitten with attention.

[Speaker 2] Yes. And may I suggest, if you get two, it's not that much more expensive than one once shots are over with, and if the family is out for the day or on a weekend trip they can keep each other company.

[Speaker 1] That sounds smart. I've heard that cats do prefer to live together as bonded pairs, so once I choose which doctor's office I'm going to join and find my salary, we may look into getting two. It is. weird being an out of work doctor, but it does mean that once I get a job back we'll have more than enough money. My wife is making enough right now as a professor, but I want us to be financially comfortable.

[Speaker 2] What field of medicine are you in, and what does your wife teach? My husband is a librarian at a university.

I'm looking for a job.  I got a couple of offers from doctor's offices. I want us to be financially comfortable.

I like going to the park.

I have a smart daughter who likes ice cream. I have wife.

I have heard that cats do prefer to live together as bonded pairs.

I have one Russian Blue male cat. the rest are all plain domestic shorthairs. One is an orange male, one is a black female.

I had a Basset Hound. I raised from puppyhood till she died at 15. I am finally at the point where I can handle having another.

I think they are actually better for kids than puppies.

[Speaker 1] How did Basset Hound die? Was it die naturally?

[Speaker 2] What do you mean? Like I told you earlier...she died of old age. She was 15! Very old for a dog!

[Speaker 1] I’m sorry I forgot. I have been stressed looking for a new job.

[Speaker 2] Completely understandable. No worries! Have you been looking for a pet for your family?

[Speaker 1] I want to adopt a cat but I want to find two so that they have another friend to be with. I heard it’s much better to have two cats than just one.

[Speaker 2] I remember you mentioning that earlier and I definitely agree. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter. Bonded pairs always did very well.

[Speaker 1] Me and my daughter are going out for ice cream soon want to come along?

[Speaker 2] I would love to!! Thanks for inviting me! Does the shop have vanilla?!?!

[Speaker 1] Of course what ice cream shop doesn’t!? My wife might come with too.

[Speaker 2] I can't wait! I love your wife! I haven't seen her since the Holiday party!

[Speaker 1] Sounds like a plan. Maybe we can all go to the park afterwards.

[Speaker 2] I love that idea!  I am definitely in need of some "nature time"

I like going to the park.

I collect medical stories. I used to have a medical practice. I have been stressed.

[Speaker 2] I loved Niagara Falls when I last went, but most of the time I hang out at Washington Square Park

[Speaker 1] Is Washington Square Park in Chicago or in New york?

[Speaker 2] In New york! I moved here a year ago

[Speaker 1] I've only been to New York once.  I enjoyed it.  How do you like it?  Are you settled in after only a year?

[Speaker 2] yeah! It was a little intimidating at first but I got used to it. Where do you live?

[Speaker 1] I'm in Wisconsin.  A big difference from New York.  I love the midwest.  Love all the changing colors of the seasons.

[Speaker 2] My husband used to live in the Midwest! What's your favorite seaon?

[Speaker 1] Fall is hands down my favorite.  The colors are just amazing and I always welcome the cooler weather.  I like spring too because everything is blooming and fresh and new. How about you?

[Speaker 2] Winter's my favorite! It's a great season to ice skate in. I also used to ski, but it's not that easy to ski in New York City haha

[Speaker 1] HA!  Aren't there all kinds of places you could drive to though?  I picture that area as easy to drive from state to state to find anything!  Why am I thinking there's ski resorts in Vermont...Road trip haha

[Speaker 1] I saw an online ad for super cheap driving lessons in New York! Would you like me to forward this to you? You need to get some wheels as soon as!

[Speaker 2] Please do! I can't rely on my husband to drive me around everywhere so I need to get this over with.

[Speaker 1] Im sure you do, after being in a new place for such a short time, Im sure its hard to find rides. Are all your pets doing well?

[Speaker 2] They are, thanks for asking. I'm sure they'd warm up to quickly if you ever came to visit.

[Speaker 1] Yes I will have to do that soon. Ive been so busy with the jobhunt. Maybe we could take the puppy to the park

[Speaker 2] I'd love to have another dog at some point. Maybe we can both visit a shelter and pick out some pets.

[Speaker 1] Lol geez. Ive been doing that a lot lately. This stress is reaally getting to me

[Speaker 2] I hear that. It shouldn't be so bad once you actually find a job and settle into a routine. Make sure you take time for yourself to relax.

[Speaker 1] Ill make sure to do that. Are you ready for another dog? I think Ill plan on visiting this winter. Would you teach me to ski?

[Speaker 2] I'm warming up to the idea. Skiing would be a nice distraction for you before you're in doctor mode day in and day out. I'd be happy to see you.

[Speaker 1] Yes I would be happy to see as well, Wisconsin isnt even very far. Ive been wanting see some sites I missed last time I was there

[Speaker 2] Aw that's good. I'm glad you're squaring away some time to destress. I'll have to make a visit down there once you're well established in your job.
