I love playing softball.

I recently was fired and had to get a new job.

My father is in the army.

I work in the insurance business.

I enjoy music.

I really like latin languages.

I know multiple tongues.

I am interested in the way foreign people speak.

I take espanol at the local college.

I enjoy sports.

I've learned to live with only one parent.

My last career didn't end on a good note.

My dad is deployed overseas.

I sell people their backup plans.

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you today?

[Speaker 2] Hello, I am fine thanks and you?

[Speaker 1] I am good because I love music and play it all the time

[Speaker 2] Ah that is nice! I play softball in my free time.

[Speaker 1] Nice, trabajo is my favorite spanish word

[Speaker 2] I wish I had time to learn another language, but I am busy with work.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I want to study french next

[Speaker 2] Since I have been fired from my last job I have been working in insurance

[Speaker 1] That's pretty cool! I love to study spanish

[Speaker 2] My father is a member of the army, served for 10 years now.

[Speaker 1] Wow that is very impressive! Bless your father

[Speaker 2] Ever since my mom passed away he has been much more serious about his job

[Speaker 1] I am very sorry for your loss

[Speaker 2] It is ok, it happened when I was young, thanks anyway.

[Speaker 1] Oh ok, well I hope everything is ok!

[Speaker 2] Yeah everything is ok now, how about your life?

I love music.

I play softball.

I have a demanding job in insurance.

My father served 10 years in the army. My mom is no longer alive.

[Speaker 1] I just started my first French lesson.

[Speaker 2] Wow! How is the lesson so far?

[Speaker 1] Good! I forgot how difficult it is at the very beginning though. I'm so used to being fluent or at leasy pretty good!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, learning a different language is definitely a challenge. Does knowing Spanish help at all with understanding French?

[Speaker 1] It actually doesn't. The rules for masculine and feminine are kind of different so I'm having to unlearn some stuff I assumed too soon!

[Speaker 2] Oh wow! That sounds really complex! It seems like it would be a real challenge to have to unlearn things you were used to.

[Speaker 1] It really is. I know I'll get there though. How is softball going?

[Speaker 2] You definitely will get there! Softball is going great! It's really a nice way to relax.

[Speaker 1] That's so good to hear! I wish I was sporty. I was always a book nerd, lol.

[Speaker 2] Haha, well I wouldn't call myself sporty. It's just something I do in my free time to release stress from the day.

[Speaker 1] Still, if my release was running around rather than sticking my nose in a book I'm sure my respiratory system would be grateful

[Speaker 2] Haha, it's never too late to start! Maybe you can find something that combines your love of learning with something more active.

I love music.

I do not play sports. I spend a lot of time studying.

I have a demanding job in insurance.

I play softball as a hobby.

[Speaker 1] I aced my French quiz!

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! What's the next language you are planning to learn?

[Speaker 1] I haven't really thought that far ahead yet! I really want to get fluent in French first. I guess if I had to choose, Italian would be the most natural progression from here though. Do you speak any other languages?

[Speaker 2] That's nice to hear! I actually don't know any other languages other than english. My work doesn't give time to learn new things.

[Speaker 1] That's totally fair. It is a real commitment to learn a new language, especially when you have a full time job. If you had the time, what language do you think you would want to learn the most?

[Speaker 2] I actually want to learn French. I always love the way they speak. I m sure i don't understand anything, but it sounds cool.

[Speaker 1] It is a beautiful language, and I am really enjoying learning it. I would love to visit Paris one day. Have you ever been?

[Speaker 2] Yes, i actually went to Paris once. But it was so long ago. My mom took me there when i was in high-school.

[Speaker 1] It's nice that she took you there! What did you do while you were there? Was it just the two of you?

[Speaker 2] Yes, my dad had his duties, so it was just us. We went to the popular places and the most amazing thing is the Eiffel Tower. We actually spend the whole day there.

[Speaker 1] Oh, so it was while your father was stationed nearby? Was he actually stationed in Paris or did you just take a trip from where he was?

[Speaker 2] Oh no, he didn't come. It was just me and my mom. He had this duties while we were planning our trip so he couldn't make it.

I love music.

I have a demanding full time  job in insurance.

I play softball as a hobby.

I only speak English.  I want to learn French, I like the way the language sounds when spoken. I went to Paris with my mom when I was in high-school.

My dad did not come to Paris. My mother and I spent the whole day visiting the Eiffel Tower.

My dad is in the military.

[Speaker 1] Did you have any softball games since we last talked?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, we played last night! I started at second base and we won 6-4. We were actually behind until the last inning when we pulled ahead. My teammate hit this huge home run.

[Speaker 1] That is really great!  How many games to you play?  If I have time, I might want to watch one.

[Speaker 2] We usually play once a week; I can't really handle more than that since my job sucks up so much of my time. Anyway, if you want to come to a game, that'd be sweet! We play again next Tuesday at 7 PM at the field downtown, if you can make it.

[Speaker 1] Ok.  I know it's been so busy and I've been cramming as much French as my mind will take.  I think I've sprouted a beret out of my head!

[Speaker 2] Ha, I bet! It's still on my list to learn but I have no idea how I'll find the time. Have you given any more thought to going to Paris? You really should go!

[Speaker 1] I think about it all the time.  Do you remember much about it?  I hear it's pretty inexpensive in the fall, but I think I would have to take off some time for school to do it.

[Speaker 2] It's been a while since my mom and I went, but I do remember that it was beautiful. The Louvre is amazing. And the Eiffel Tower is just so worth a look.

[Speaker 1] Maybe I can ask my counselor about it.  I know there are study abroad options and I think I will know enough French to get by initially.

[Speaker 2] Oh, you'd be totally fine! Even back when I went, just about everyone in Paris spoke English so you'd be all good even without being fluent in French.

[Speaker 1] That's a good point!  You have me really thinking about it.  You know what, I think I will call my counselor and then attend your softball game to tell you all about it!

[Speaker 2] Sounds like a great idea to me! Especially the part about you coming to my game, haha.

I love music.

I know Spanish.I enjoy learning languages. I am learning to speak French. I am taking a French class.

I'm not sure what language I want to study next. I would like to be fluent in French before learning a new language, but I am interested in learning Italian. I enjoy learning French. I would like to visit Paris. I am going to school. I am going to ask my school counselor about studying abroad.

I play softball as a hobby.

My dad is in the military.

I had a softball game last night. I play second base. My teammate hit a home run. My team usually plays 1 game a week. I work. My next game is Tuesday. My team plays downtown.

[Speaker 1] I talked to my counselor and she is going to help me with all the paperwork to be a foreign exchange student, do you think you could write me a letter of recommendation?

[Speaker 2] Sure thing. Are you free at the weekend? We could meet up to sort it then.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, the weekend sounds great thank you so much! Is there a certain day that works for you? Are your softball games only on Tuesdays or do you ever have a game on the weekend?

[Speaker 2] Yeah softball is just on Tuesday. Sometimes we have games on a Saturday but I'm free this weekend. Have you decided where you want to go for the study abroad program?

[Speaker 1] I think Paris to be honest, it sounded so lovely when you were telling me about your visit with your Mom. I'm still working on my fluency in French.

[Speaker 2] Studying in Paris would really help you learn the language. Have you travelled to any other countries?

[Speaker 1] You are 100% right about that, I went on a vacation to Mexico a while back and that really helped me with my Spanish. I'm sure you've done a lot of travel with a military father.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I've travelled around Europe a lot. I love the UK and Germany too.

[Speaker 1] More travel in Europe is absolutely on my bucket list. Would you say Paris was your favorite? The Eiffel Tower is so beautiful, I can only imagine what it must be like to see it in person!

[Speaker 2] Paris is beautiful. Nice in France is beautiful too. The promenade and the pebble beaches are wonderful

[Speaker 1] Well, if I end up going to Paris to study you can come for a visit and we'll go all over, maybe by that time I'll be fluent enough to teach you some basics!

[Speaker 2] Yeah that would be great. Would you try any of the French food?


I have been employed for awhile.
I enjoy car shows and wresting.
I could listen to classic rock all day.
I could eat taco bell all day.
I rebuild structures.

I don't have a high paying job.

My goal is to get a masters degree.

I enjoy adventure sports.

I like to read scientific studies about the human mind.

I am very good at reading a compass.

[Speaker 1] Hey there how are you doing

[Speaker 2] I am doing good! How are you? I just got back from walking my dog!

[Speaker 1] I am good, that is pretty cool. Where do you work?

[Speaker 2] Well, that is what I do for a living. Walk dogs!

[Speaker 1] Wow, I work in construction

[Speaker 2] Is that fun? I just graduated, so to celebrate, I went kayaking!

[Speaker 1] It is hard work. That sounds so fun

[Speaker 2] Also, I do know how to survive in the wilderness! I enjoy reading as well!

[Speaker 1] Are you an eagle scout?

[Speaker 2] No, I'm not, but I do like girl scout cookies!

[Speaker 1] Haha what kind? I do as well

[Speaker 2] I do like thin mints! Those are my favorite, and I do not get anu others!

[Speaker 1] I like the shortbread ones. But my favorite food is form mexico

[Speaker 2] I do like mexican coke. I think it tastes better than waht we have here!

[Speaker 1] Dear lord I agree, the glass bottle ones?

[Speaker 2] Yeah! I know it is expensive, but so worth it!


I enjoy music.

I really like latin languages.

I know multiple tongues.

The blackhawks are my favorite team!.

I reside in the country surrounded by farmland.

I do not know my biological in laws.

[Speaker 2] Doing great. Watched nhl hockey and walked my german shepherd dog.

[Speaker 1] What do you do for work?

[Speaker 2] I live on a farm and work here too. What do you do?

[Speaker 1] I'm a local musician, but I've been studying different languages recently.

[Speaker 2] Wow, great. My artistic ability is limited to coloring books. Lol

[Speaker 1] My favorite word in spanish is trabajo. I plan to study french next.

[Speaker 2] Neat. My husband was adopted and he's spanish.

[Speaker 1] Does he speak spanish fluently?

[Speaker 2] Yes, but I do not. I am limited to spanish food names like taco. Lol

[Speaker 1] Are tacos your favorite food?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I eat them while I watch hockey. Do you like hockey?

[Speaker 1] I like baseball better. Go yankees!

[Speaker 2] What instrument do you play?

[Speaker 1] I play the piano and the violin.

[Speaker 2] You are so talented. I can sing farm songs and I can milk cows.


I am deathly afraid of heights.

I own a cat and a dog.

I am a party animal.

My favorite movie is mean girls.

I help out at the food bank occasionally.

I've light skin with big brown eyes.

Its red with blue stripe so it shiny when I race.

I wear a motorbike helmet to protect my head.

I waitress during the day to supplement my income.

I don't like roller coasters.

I am an animal lover.

I enjoy being social.

I like that picture film with those meanie gals.

I feel better when I improve peoples lives.

I am american.

The primary colored stripes attract attention when I run.

I ride my motorcycle everywhere.

I have a second job.

[Speaker 1] Hi there! Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 2] I'm a teacher and waitress. I'm gone from home too much to have pets.

[Speaker 1] Bummer. I have a puppy and a kitten. They get along.

[Speaker 2] What are the names of your pets?

[Speaker 1] Mean girl is the cat, after my favorite movie, and roscoe the dog.

[Speaker 2] I love that movie! Do you remember the part where she rides a motorbike?

[Speaker 1] Haha! Yes! I love to have parties and watch the movie with friends.

[Speaker 2] Is movies your favorite hobby? I race motorbikes for fun.

[Speaker 1] I volunteer at the food bank. I'd like to skydive but I cannot.

[Speaker 2] I've been there to get food. I've to waitress to supplement my income.

[Speaker 1] They have some great food. I often donate and take things from there myself.

[Speaker 2] Thank you for what you do. You are generous and kind.

[Speaker 1] Thanks! I do what I can.

[Speaker 2] Why have you not been skydiving?

[Speaker 1] I just about faint when I climb a ladder. I cannot imagine a plane.

[Speaker 2] Do not be afraid. It is exhilarating! The adrenaline rush can not be described in words.

I have a dog and a cat which are getting along. Dog is named roscoe and cat is called mean girl.

I love partying and watching movies with friends.

I volunteer at the food bank. I often donate.

I want to go skydiving but I am afraid.

I love mean girl movie.

My hobby is racing motorbikes.

I visited food bank.

[Speaker 1] Do you want me to sign you up for food bank volunteering? Of course, if you have some free time

[Speaker 2] Maybe this summer when school is out! Right now I am swamped with teaching and waitressing on the weekends. How is life going for you?

[Speaker 1] Life is going well so far.  Staying extremely busy at the food bank. It seems more and more people are in need.

[Speaker 2] It is true! I have been seeing more children with food insecurities come through my classroom then ever before!

[Speaker 1] It really is a shame.  How does the school system handle the insecurities?

[Speaker 2] There are a lot of kids who qualify for free meals so when school is in session they are getting at least two meals that day (breakfast and lunch). The summers are much harder. On the bright side the school has a new volunteer... a therapy dog kids can read to!

[Speaker 1] That's awesome.  What's the dog's name?

[Speaker 2] Dr. Woofington McBark! He is 5 years old and is a black lab.

[Speaker 1] Dr. Woofington McBark...that's so funny.  I bet the kids love having him around.  Does he sit and listen to them reading?

[Speaker 2] He usually lays down and sometimes he listens with his eyes closed, but he still is following the story! Yes the kids love having him around but so do all the teachers! He is such a self esteem boost to the kids struggling with sight words and sounding things out.

[Speaker 1] I can imagine.  Dogs are a great comfort and can sense when something isn't right.  I know my Roscoe brightens my day each time I see him.  So loving and caring.

[Speaker 2] What kind of dog is he?

I want to go skydiving but I am afraid.

I love mean girl movie.

My hobby is racing motorbikes.

I work with food bank volunteering.

Our school has a therapy dog Dr. Woofington McBark, he is 5 and a black lab.

[Speaker 1] My dog and cat had a little fight yesterday

[Speaker 2] Oh no, did either of them get hurt?

[Speaker 1] Nah, it was more just like hissing and barking.

[Speaker 2] Wow... I can just imagine the noises.  It was probably really loud.  Are they getting along okay now?

[Speaker 1] Yeah they seem to be getting along now that everything's settled. Mean Girl tried to grab some food from Roscoe's bowl and he wasn't having it. Like he saw her messing around in his bowl and went after her.

[Speaker 2] I can believe.that.  Dogs can be very territorial.  How has volunteering been going?

[Speaker 1] It's been going good, over the weekend I made a big amount of my mom's famous lemon chicken and brought it over to donate for that night's meal. It was a hit, thankfully.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that sounds delicious.  We could use your cooking skills at our center.

[Speaker 1] I could come over to help out for sure. I love volunteering. If I could do it as a career i would.

[Speaker 2] That would be amazing.  We can use all the help we get.  Are you available this weekend?

[Speaker 1] Yeah I am. I just can't leave my dog in my place, could I bring him with me?

[Speaker 2] Sure.  He would be a big hit with the people coming in.  Give them some happiness with their meals.

I have a male dog and a cat which are getting along. Dog is named roscoe and cat is called mean girl.

I volunteer at the food bank. I cooked lemon chicken to bring to people in need. I often donate. I love volunteering. I can't leave my dog alone in my house.

I want to go skydiving but I am afraid.

I love mean girl movie.

My hobby is racing motorbikes.

I work with food bank volunteering.

[Speaker 1] I left Roscoe at home and he tore up his dog bed!

[Speaker 2] Oh no! I wonder if Mean Girl had something to do with it and set Roscoe up to take the fall haha

[Speaker 1] Ha! That is definitely one way to look at it. But it was probably Roscoe. He had that guilty look on his face, you know?

[Speaker 2] I sort of remember. I wish I was home more and could get a pet. Such good companions. Dr. McBark will have to do for now, but he has made me decide I want a lab if and when I do get a pet.

[Speaker 1] I imagine he must be such a well-behaved dog! Labs are so sweet. I'm sure you'll have a pet someday. You see Dr. McBark at school lately?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I see him around pretty often, but I try not to interfere with him too much so he can save his energy for the kids who need him. I'm going to schedule him to come to my class so the kids can read to him soon.

[Speaker 1] That's great! I'm sure they'll be really excited. Would be nice if we could get a therapy dog at the food bank. I'm sure a lot of people could use that comfort.

[Speaker 2] That's true! Maybe you have an idea in there somewhere. Sadly, so many ideas that help the community require more funding than folks are willing to put in. It's so sad. It's so easy to see income disparities when I look at the kids in my classroom. It doesn't seem fair.

[Speaker 1] It's not fair at all. I'm grateful that I'm able to at least make some difference, I just wish there wasn't a difference that needed to be made!

[Speaker 2] Yes, and in my state teachers are so underpaid. That's why I have to wait tables too. I thought the purpose of society was to ultimately find a way where people can enjoy their lives instead of work work work. But no, instead all of the money lies in the hands of like 5 individuals. It's so gross.

[Speaker 1] It definitely is. And being a teacher is such an important and difficult job too. There's no reason a teacher (or anybody) should NEED a second job!

[Speaker 2] Exactly! A reliable salary is nice, but when I take what I make and break it down by the hour, it's indentured servitude basically. Not to mention the supplies and things I buy out of my own pocket because there's no room in the school budget for them. It's all such a mess. I'm sure you see so much of this and much worse at the food bank. If I ever got rich, I'd give so much back to my community. Truly! I wish everyone felt that way. Maybe seeing all the kids in my class makes me more empathetic to the struggles.

I have a male dog and a cat which are getting along. Dog is named Roscoe and cat is called mean girl.

I want to go skydiving but I am afraid.

My dog destroyed his bed.

I am a teacher and waitress and don't have any pets. I am not home enough to get a pet.

I love mean girl movie.

My hobby is racing motorbikes.

I work with food bank volunteering.

My students have large income disparities between their families.

I also wait tables because I am underpaid as a teacher.  I think it's gross that some people have so much wealth. I believe the pay for teachers is the same as indentured servitude.  I buy supplies and other things for my class out of pocket.  I would give money to the community if I ever got rich.

[Speaker 1] Have your students decided what they want to read to Dr. McBark?

[Speaker 2] Not yet. We're still going over options. Do you have any suggestions? Have you ever read to Roscoe and Mean Girl?

[Speaker 1] What about Old Yeller the book? No I don't read to Roscoe or Mean Girl. Is that weird?

[Speaker 2] No, lol. (Although I do talk to my plants.) I think Old Yeller would traumatize Dr. McBark since that story doesn't end so well for the dog.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I've heard people talk to their plants. Funny. Ok, sorry about that horrible suggestion. How about just reading him the dog encyclopedia?

[Speaker 2] Ha! That's something we could consider. I bet he'd like an illustrated version; you know, that has pictures of all of the different breeds?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that would be cool for him. I bet he's a smart dog though and could handle the original.

[Speaker 2] Probably. Eh, who knows, right? He's a dog, lol. Anyhow, did you make your shift at the food bank this morning? I need to reschedule my next one.

[Speaker 1] Yes I did. We had a lot of regulars and a few newbies. It is so nice to give back.

[Speaker 2] Totally! I can't wait til I figure out ways I can make some extra cash so I can do more. Some of my students' stories just break my heart.

[Speaker 1] I bet. Do you buy food for some of them as well?

[Speaker 2] Yup. I can't let them go hungry. It just wouldn't be right.


I just broke up with boyfriend two months ago.

I turned 18 years old yesterday.

My favorite color is orange.

I have a pet fish.

My family doesn't support my career choices.

I currently work for a watch dealer.

My dream car is a rolls royce ghost.

I often shop for shoes and watches.

I like shopping.

I'm single now.
I am officially an adult.
I like bright colors.
I own an aquarium.

Nobody believes that I should be a mechanic.

I am employed at a time keeping shop.

I have very expensive taste in vehicles.

I usually browse footwear and accessories.

I enjoy browsing stores.

[Speaker 1] Hey. What is your favorite color?

[Speaker 2] I'm so rich I eat off of golden plates

[Speaker 1] I guess you can afford more than my pet fish!

[Speaker 2] My favorite color is green, for dolla dolla bill

[Speaker 1] That's funny mine us orange.

[Speaker 2] I can afford you and everything you own,

[Speaker 1] Well, I did just breakup with my boyfriend so I'm free.

[Speaker 2] I heard some bad things about you so I will have to pass

[Speaker 1] Oh dear, I've only just turned 18 wonder how?

[Speaker 2] Energy isn't physical, but spiritual and can change at a moments notice

[Speaker 1] You must be a really smart person.

[Speaker 2] Sometimes time can mysteriously move forward, the universe is always changing

[Speaker 1] Oh, yes please tell me more.

[Speaker 2] Smartness is a frame of mind

[Speaker 1] Are you sure its not what you are born with?

[Speaker 2] You can change what you were born with, modify your dna with your beliefs

I have a pet fish.
My favorite color is orange.
I just broke up with my boyfriend.
I am 18.

I am rich. I eat off golden plates.
My favorite color is green.

[Speaker 1] Have you bought any Bitcoin with your money?

[Speaker 2] I have bought bitcoin. Just for fun though. I am nervous about it and it is not my main method of investment. Do you own any?

[Speaker 1] No as its a pretty big leap for me to invest my money just yet. Now that I'm single I need to focus on life and work. How did you come to make your fortune?

[Speaker 2] I made my money through investing mostly in real estate. Buy your first house and rent it out. Let your roommates pay your mortgage and then save up to buy another house to rent and repeat. You own the house someone else pays the debt.

[Speaker 1] Very true and smart. The first step is being able to buy the house with little to no work to be done. A turnkey so to speak.

[Speaker 2] No expect a little work. Make it livable. People who rent generally aren't looking for all the amenities. They want and affordable place to live that is safe and comfortable. Provide that

[Speaker 1] Ok I understand, then the next step is having two houses or own one and rent it then rent somewhere else. That's where is can be tricky as far as affording both between renters.

[Speaker 2] It can be. make sure you have enough cash to float you to the next renter, but other than that it is on autopilot. Do you think you will buy a house soon now?

[Speaker 1] Maybe, the market is great for that right now so trying to be approved for a home loan first. My credit is not bad, but also not great.

[Speaker 2] FHA loans are available for 0 down. they will still look at your income to debt ratio as the most important thing, but it is easy to be approved and then it will actually increase your credit while someone else makes payments on your debt. Just find a roommate.

[Speaker 1] Will do since my fish isn't bring in any money. Nobody wants to pay to see him.

[Speaker 2] exactly and you are young, so think about it this way too every dollar you earn is worth 2-3 times as much as each dollar I earn when invested.

I have a pet fish.

My favorite color is orange.

I just broke up with my boyfriend. I am 18. I am single.

I am rich. I eat off golden plates.

My favorite color is green.

I bought Bitcoin for fun.  I am nervous about buying Bitcoin.  I did not buy Bitcoin as a main investment. I made my money investing in real estate.

[Speaker 1] How is your Bitcoin investment paying off?

[Speaker 2] It's going okay, not the levels I wanted originally.

[Speaker 1] Bitcoin is such a volatile investment, I don't know how you can stand the swings

[Speaker 2] Honestly? it's anxiety inducing as hell. I don't use a lot amount of money, especially with this

[Speaker 1] I get it, I could never handle that stress.  That's why I have a pet goldfish - it's very relaxing.

[Speaker 2] Oh right you were telling me about getting him, how's that going for you? Is he being a good... fish?

[Speaker 1] He's a great fish!  I named him Nemo after my favorite movie!

[Speaker 2] Nemo is a really good movie. Did you get him to distract you from the breakup?

[Speaker 1] Actually, yes.  It was a really difficult time and having something else to focus on was really helpful...even though he doesn't talk.

[Speaker 2] He might not talk but I'm sure he's a good listener.

[Speaker 1] Haha, yes.  Have you ever had a goldfish?

[Speaker 2] No, I haven't. The only pet I ever had was a cat that I grew up with.

I have a pet goldfish.

My favorite color is orange.

I am rich. I eat off golden plates.

My favorite color is green.

[Speaker 1] I taught Nemo a trick! If he learns a few maybe people will pay to see him perform.

[Speaker 2] I didn't realize you could teach fish tricks .I would like to see it. What kind of trick is it?

[Speaker 1] Nemo can twirl and do somersaults!  He is very food motivated.

[Speaker 2] That is amazing! I would never attempt to train a fish. I haven't even tried to train my cat, and she isn't stuck in a bowl lol. What else can you teach him?

[Speaker 1] I don't know if I have taught him, but when I approach the bowl with food, Nemo blows bubbles, almost like he is trying to talk.  It's quite amazing.

[Speaker 2] I should come by sometime and check that out. Have you thought any more about maybe investing?

[Speaker 1] I have, but am worried about losing money.  Any thoughts?  Right now I have some money earning 25 basis points in an online bank account.

[Speaker 2] I would advise that if you do decide to do it, only put in what you are ok with losing. I am so nervous every time I check mine, and I am regretting putting in so much. If I had started smaller, maybe it would be more fun.

[Speaker 1] I am thinking of perhaps just doing an S&P500 index ETF.  I believe I can start with as little as $100 and do $50 additional each month.  Do you think that makes sense for a risk averse investor like me?

[Speaker 2] As long as you could stand to lose it, then yeah. It would be perfect. I was told a bit late to only invest what you can afford to spend.

[Speaker 1] That is good advice.  For me, that would mean don't risk losing my goldfish!

[Speaker 2] Yeah exactly. But I have almost doubled my investment. I did see it dip really low twice though and so now I am nervous it will go down and not back up.

I have a pet goldfish.

My favorite color is orange.

My credit isn't good or bad.  I am trying to be approved for a home loan. I am not invested in volatile investments. I have thought about investing but I am worried about losing money. I have some money earning 25 basis points in an online bank account. I am a risk averse investor. I am thinking of investing in S&P500 index ETF.

My fish is named Nemo. My favorite movie is Nemo. I taught Nemo a trick. I am amazed by Nemo blowing bubbles when I approach the bowl with food.

I am rich. I eat off golden plates.

My favorite color is green.

I don't have a goldfish. I have only had one pet, a cat. I would not attempt to train a fish.

I have quite a lot of money in investment. I am nervous about my investment. I was told late to only invest what I can afford to spend. I have almost doubled my investment.

[Speaker 1] I read more about investment in the past 2 hours and decided to invest some money in the S&P500 index fund!

[Speaker 2] That's an excellent idea. I have been investing in a S&P 500 index fund as well for the past 2 years. If you are looking for long term growth then it is one of the best things you can do with your money.

[Speaker 1] That's great to hear! I was hoping I had made a good decision! I always ask Nemo what he thinks before I choose to invest. He thought it was a great idea, but he is just a fish. Haha!

[Speaker 2] Haha, I'm surprised he knows about all that stuff, but apparently he has done his homework too. I am looking to add some other ETFs to my investment account at some point too.

[Speaker 1] Yes he has. LOL! Let me know how your investment goes. Do you have any specific ones in mind?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I am thinking about buying some REIT shares. Real estate has been really hot for the last little while, and REITs pay out pretty good dividends too.

[Speaker 1] Real estate has been hot lately! That sounds like a solid investment plan. Do you have a financial advisor helping you?

[Speaker 2] No, I just watch a ton of Youtube videos. There is so much great information out there on investing and finances. I am no expert, but I sure have learned a lot.

[Speaker 1] Awesome! I'm drinking a huge cup of coffee to stay up and marathon it.

[Speaker 2] Very cool. As a skateboarder I drink a lot of coffee as well.

[Speaker 1] I like to try a bunch of different types of coffee.

[Speaker 2] My friends who all are skateboarders like different coffee too.

[Speaker 1] I am not into skateboarding but I did play football

[Speaker 2] Right on. I like watching football. I've my bucs hat I wear everyday.

[Speaker 1] I would rather read and write poetry these days though

[Speaker 1] Oh that's nice. What movie will you watch? Here is a poem. "Roses are Red. Violets are Blue. Sugar is sweet, but not as sweet as you."

[Speaker 2] Wow,  thanks this sweet. I dont know yet I have to go through whichever youtube recommend for me

[Speaker 1] You're welcome. What kind of movies do you like?

[Speaker 1] Hmmmm. I'm trying to think if there are any good movies I can recommend. What about Titanic?

I drink black coffee.

[Speaker 1] I bet your girlfriend would also like some chocolate covered strawberries to have during your movie date.

[Speaker 2] I agree completely! My girlfriend loves chocolate covered strawberries. Do you have any suggestions on where I should buy them?

[Speaker 1] I usually go to a local candy store and see if they have any fresh. If not I look online. Places that sell flowers usually have treats like that too so you can have it delivered.

[Speaker 2] There's a candy store not too far from my house, so I'll have to check it out. Do you think I should get some flowers too?

[Speaker 1] I think it might be a bit too much to do both unless it's a special occasion. Or it will seem like you're trying too hard to impress her. One gesture at a time is best, I think

[Speaker 2] Okay, that is good advice. Thank you. Are you in a relationship right now?

[Speaker 1] Not unless you count my dog. We spend a lot of time together. But no boyfriend or girlfriend at the moment.

[Speaker 2] I didn't know you had a dog! So do I! I love animals so much. What kind of dog do you have? I love the little fluffy ones.

[Speaker 1] I have a big Newfoundland named Max. He's three years old.

[Speaker 2] Aw! Those dogs get really big, I know. Wow. I'd love to see a picture of him sometime!

[Speaker 1] I will be sure to get you one. I love big dogs.

[Speaker 2] Big dogs scare me sometimes, but I'm sure Max is a nice dog.

My favourite movie is star wars. I think Titanic is a good movie for a date. I have seen Titanic.

I drink coffee.

I live near a candy store. I live in a house.

I have a dog. I love animals. I love little fluffy dogs. I have a fear of big dogs.

[Speaker 1] I wrote a new poem that I would like to share with you.

[Speaker 2] What is it about?  Is it about your Dog or about dogs in general?

[Speaker 1] How did you guess?!?  It's about Max, of course.  It goes -- Max is my Chewbacca, I am his Han.  He is my wing man, I am his all.  I love Max.

[Speaker 2] I love star wars,  It sounds like you do

[Speaker 1] Oh I love almost all of it.  I didn't love al the recent ones, but give me 1 through 6 any day!  And Max seriously looks a little like Chewbacca!

[Speaker 2] I would love to hear your poem so I can tell my girlfriend it

[Speaker 1] Oh, I already said it, well it's a work in progress and I hope to add verses before the last line.  "Max is my Chewbacca, I am his Han.  He is my wing man, I am his all.  I love Max."

[Speaker 2] My girlfriend also loves chocolate strawberries.  Does your store sell them?

[Speaker 1] It does!  If there is a fruit that can be dipped in chocolate, Silly Sonka's is the place!  I don't know how they didn't get sued, but they have a crazy Willy Wonka clone they call Silly Sonka. It's hilarious...and delicious.

[Speaker 2] Cool.  There is a store around the corner called silly sonkas's.  I will have to check them out next time I go out for coffee

I live near Silly Sonka's.  I go out for coffee frequently.

[Speaker 1] I finished my poem!  Do you want to hear it?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes of course I do!

[Speaker 1] It's pretty long, about 20 stanzas... I'll send it along written it in an email with a voice file attached so you can hear how it sounds read out loud.

[Speaker 2] Ok! great! I was going to suggest that may be easier than typing it here on chat.

[Speaker 1] It would be waaaaaay too long for this chat. Heh, it might be too long whichever way it's read. I might need to edit it. Have you tried to write yours out yet?

[Speaker 2] You could always do an edit version for things that need a "shorter" version, but don't throw out the unedited one! I haven't yet. I really need to get started on that.

[Speaker 1] Keep notes as you go. You'd be surprised about how easy it is to forget great verse ideas. I know. That's a lesson I had to learn.

[Speaker 2] Oh thanks for the idea! That is really smart to do. Is that what you did with the most recent one you wrote?

[Speaker 1] It's been the way I've worked since my first workshop at university. It's hard to tell others how something you wrote has evolved over time without notes.

[Speaker 2] Do you keep a scrapbook with all your notes in it? Kind of like a play by play for the final product?

[Speaker 1] I transfer all my written notes to my computer once a week, and I back them up to the cloud and my phone and tablet. They won't make sense to anyone else but me, but at least I won't lose any ideas.

[Speaker 2] Gotcha, yeah I tend to be a paper and pen person at heart. So i have stacks of notebooks piled up. I should probably type them out.


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

I exercise a lot.

I like showing off my legs.

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

I don't eat any meat.

I like indigo.

[Speaker 1] Awesome! I was there for a ping pong tournament last year.

[Speaker 2] Should get to bed soon. The library will be looking me in the face early.

[Speaker 1] I love the library. Those books helped me learned chinese.

[Speaker 2] Oh I am glad. That's what I love about being a librarian. Retirement soon tho.

[Speaker 1] That's awesome! My dad just retired after being an electrician for 30 years.

[Speaker 2] He enjoying that? Last month I turned 60, just a few more years.

[Speaker 1] Oh he loves it! Now he has time to rock out with me on the guitar.

[Speaker 2] That is nice to spend time with your dad. He must love it.

[Speaker 1] I like to think he does. He is the one who taught me guitar and violin.

[Speaker 2] Wow. I do some travelling with my daughter. I enjoy that.

[Speaker 1] Where do you like to go?

[Speaker 2] I love to go north. Since I live in the south.

[Speaker 1] I went to belgium last year. That gave me a whole new love for chocolate.

[Speaker 2] Ha ha. Never been there. Actually canada is the only time out of the us.

I am Ali. I've been to Canda too.

I like the library and know Chinese.

I'm Charlotte, I've been to Canada.

I am going to retire soon. I work as a librarian.

I am 60.

I travel and have a daughter.

I live in the south and want to go North.

[Speaker 1] My dad and I are starting a band

[Speaker 2] That sounds like fun - a guitar and violin duo! Maybe you'll get famous!

[Speaker 1] That would be so cool, but I will be happy playing with him either way! Does your daughter play an instrument.

[Speaker 2] No she doesn't but she loves to travel with me when she can.

[Speaker 1] Thats good. Any quality time with your kids is awesome. Do you have any upcoming travel plans?

[Speaker 2] Maybe after I retire, which will be shortly. Has your dad traveled much after he retired?

[Speaker 1] He has not done much traveling yet. I am sure he is ready to, but being retired he has plenty of time. How long until you officially retire?

[Speaker 2] Just a few months, then maybe I'll have the opportunity to travel north like I always wanted to. Maybe I'll put Belgium on the list too.

[Speaker 1] You would love Belgium! Where do you want to go up north first?

[Speaker 2] Probably France, then Belgium. I've got to try some of their lovely chocolate!

[Speaker 1] France would be amazing! You will have to let me know how that goes, may have to add that to my travel list as well!

[Speaker 2] Yes I will. Perhaps I will polish my language skills as well. Not Chinese, but French, haha.

I am Ali. I've been to Canada too.

I like the library and know Chinese.

My dad is an electrician who retired. I play guitar with my dad. I know guitar and violin. I am a musician and so is my dad. I am starting a band with my dad. I enjoy playing music with my dad.

I've been to Belgium and love chocolate. I would like to go to France.

My dad may travel sometime but it's not a priority for him right now.

I enjoy spending time with kids.

I'm Charlotte, I've been to Canada.

I work as a librarian. I am 60.

I enjoy music. My daughter does not play music. I travel often and my daughter sometimes comes with me.

I will be retiring in a few months and plan to travel once I do. I've always wanted to travel north. I want to go to France, and then Belgium. I enjoy Belgian chocolate.

[Speaker 1] Belgium also makes incredible waffles, in addition to their famous chocolates.

[Speaker 2] That's the theory, yes. I wonder if my language skills are good enough to go over there

[Speaker 1] I guess there's only one way to find out!  Would you take one trip to France and Belgium, or split them up?

[Speaker 2] I'd probably split them up, the idea of going to one place and then immediately to the other is kinda intimidating. I've been thinking about asking my daughter to come with me.

[Speaker 1] How old is she?  That sounds like it would be a great way to bond with her.

[Speaker 2] She's 18, going to turn 19 next year and she's thinking of taking some time off before going to college so if I keep working until then and take the time to retire we could go together.

[Speaker 1] Wow, that sounds great!  Does your daughter take French in school?

[Speaker 2] She did actually, she started learning it and I started to help her study for her tests. She speaks much better than I do and was taking about going to France to maybe be an english teacher. I took chinese when I was in school and it's been my passion language.

[Speaker 1] I'm so impressed with your love of languages.  I also learned to speak Chinese to communicate with my some of my clients.

[Speaker 2] Oh how wonderful. It's always nice to see the relief on people's faces when you can speak in their natural tongue with them. I remember I met a man who had just immigrated, he wanted to check out books on learning english but he wasn't sure how to properly phrase it so when I started speaking to him in his language he looked so relieved!

[Speaker 1] I agree, I love being able to help people because I can speak their language.

[Speaker 2] It's such a fulfilling feeling. He still comes by the library to check out books every week and it makes me so happy how comfortable he is coming here and speaking english now.

I am Ali. I've been to Canada too.

I like the library and know Chinese.

I like Belgium and love chocolate. I would like to go to France.

I enjoy spending time with kids.

I'm Charlotte, I've been to Canada.

I work as a librarian. I am 60.

I speak Chinese and French, but could stand to study French some more. My daughter is 18, going to turn 19 next year. She's thinking of taking some time off before college. I helped my daughter study French in school. I took Chinese in school and I love it.

[Speaker 1] I researched those countries you are thinking about travelling to. They have a lot of interesting places to visit!

[Speaker 2] It's amazing to think about just how much history there is! I wish I could stay longer to see it all.

[Speaker 1] I am betting you could set up a map where you could visit the biggest attractions or most important event places and see a lot. At least in France for sure. When do you plan to go again?

[Speaker 2] I'm going this summer with my daughter. It works since she doesn't have summer school. I'll see if I can bring you back some Belgian chocolate!

[Speaker 1] Oh that would be A MA ZING. I have never had any real real Belgian chocolate. I have tried the fake stuff sold here, but I feel that everything is better where it originated.

[Speaker 2] I imagine the real thing is a life changer. You have a point. Maybe I'll try some authentic French bread too.

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah, they have so many kinds, but I heard it is best fresh so you gotta get it early!

[Speaker 2] There's no other way! Haha the bread might expire before I could bring you some back so sorry, no bread for you haha

[Speaker 1] That is fine. I would be so happy to get some of that chocolate. I have always daydreamed about trying it fresh at the factory though haha.

[Speaker 2] In that case, maybe I could steal you away for the summer. We aren't getting any younger. The time is now, Ali! You have to fulfill your dreams!

[Speaker 1] You know what? I love that idea! I will start putting back some money and I will be glad to go. Just gotta see about a passport.

[Speaker 2] Probably best to take care of that sooner or later. I know traveling can get really complicated, really quickly. I'm excited for this trip!

I am Ali. I've been to Canada too.

I like the library and know Chinese.

I enjoy spending time with kids.

I would like to try real Belgian chocolate.  I have only had fake Belgian chocolate made here. I wish I could try chocolate right out of the factory.

I'm Charlotte, I've been to Canada.

I work as a librarian. I am 60.

I wish I could stay on vacation longer. I'm going to France this summer with my daughter.  My daughter doesn't have summer school. I want to try authentic French bread.

I'm excited to go on my trip.

[Speaker 1] What is your daughter looking forward to most on your trip?

[Speaker 2] I think she's most excited about the exploration that comes with being in a new country.  She loves French culture, so I think she'll be very enthusiastic to immerse herself in it!

[Speaker 1] I spent some time in Europe as a teenager, but never got to France except just a little on a highway passing through. I'm so thrilled for you and your daughter!

[Speaker 2] What parts of Europe did you see?  We might do a little traveling from France if we have the time.

[Speaker 1] My dad was military. He was a full-blooded Neapolitan. So when he got time off from the base in Germany, we traveled south through Austria into Italy. Spent time in Florence and Rome. Came back through Switzerland.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that's really neat! I would love to travel through the Alps, I hear they're beautiful and full of many places that have delicious Swiss chocolate.

[Speaker 1] There are places in Bavaria that are like heaven on earth, really like nowhere else in the world. If you get a chance you should get over to Garmisch-Partenkirschen and the area south of Munich....

[Speaker 2] Wonderful, if we do decide to travel in that direction I will certainly take your suggestions to heart.  Those places sound amazing!  Have you been to any of them recently? Or just when you were younger?

[Speaker 1] Unfortunately, no. Just when I was a teenager. Would love to go back, though, just can't ever find the time. When are you leaving?

[Speaker 2] That is unfortunate, hopefully you can find time to go again soon.  And we are leaving in two weeks!

[Speaker 1] Oh, I cannot tell you how jealous I am! That's wonderful! You're gonna have a great, great time, I know it! What airport are you flying into there?

[Speaker 2] We are first landing in CDG, but we'll then take a short flight over to Nantes where we'll be staying for the first part of the trip.

[Speaker 2] I was born in the eighties how about you

[Speaker 1] I am younger, I really want to go to college to become a lawyer

[Speaker 2] That's a tough field hope it goes well

[Speaker 1] Thank you, what do you do?

[Speaker 2] I don't work but I enjoy dance lessons during the week there fun

I want to move to the city.

I do not know much about New Kids on the Block.

I want to go to college and become a lawyer.

I like old school hip hop music.
I take dance lessons once a week.
I really like New Kids on the Block.
I was born in the 1980s.
I do not work.

[Speaker 1] How are your dance lessons going?

[Speaker 2] They're going great! I feel a little old compared to the other people in the class, but I'm keeping up, haha.

[Speaker 1] What type of dance are you learning in your classes?

[Speaker 2] I'm learning break dance! It's something I've been wanting to learn since I was a kid but never got the chance to until now.

[Speaker 1] Awesome, then you're not too old to learn!  Eighties babies are part of the start of break dance!

[Speaker 2] Aww thanks! I do wish I started earlier, but I'm so happy to have the chance now. Everyone is so supportive!

[Speaker 1] That's great!  I have always wanted to live in the city where break dancing was invented.

[Speaker 2] Well you should definitely visit! New York is such an interesting and diverse place!

I really like New Kids on the Block.

I was born in the 1980s.

I do not work.

I have 8 babies. I wish I had started dance lessons when I was younger but enjoy the opportunity now.

I enjoyed going to New York.

[Speaker 1] I started researching jobs in New York

[Speaker 2] Really? No way! What are you looking at doing for work? I thought you wanted to go to school?

[Speaker 1] Hello, how are you doing today?

[Speaker 2] I'm doing alright haha. What are you doing today besides researching jobs in New York?

[Speaker 1] I've been spending time with my family's horses. I'm teaching one of them to jump over hurdles.

[Speaker 2] Nice, nice! Quite the variety you've got going on. Do you have any horse shows or anything soon?

[Speaker 1] Not yet! We still have a lot of training to do. How are your kids doing - do they enjoy dance as well?

[Speaker 2] All 8 of them are doing well! The older ones are taking dance classes but I'm thinking about having the older kiddos teach the younger ones. Too many dance classes would break the bank haha

[Speaker 1] Very understandable! I'm sure it would be a great bonding experience for them. Maybe they will share your love for New Kids on the Block, too

[Speaker 2] I sure hope so!! I know you don't know much about it but it's a great show. What kind of shows are you watching?

[Speaker 1] I love shows about courtroom dramas. I think it is what inspired me to want to go to law school. Do you have any shows you'd recommend?

[Speaker 2] I don't know if you've seen Dance Moms but it's highly entertaining. Even if you don't dance often it can be really amusing to watch!

I live on a horse farm. I ride horses. My family raises horses. I'm currently training a horse to jump hurdles.

I've always wanted to live in New York city because that is where break dancing was invented. I'm looking for a job in New York.

I like courtroom dramas.

I like old school hip hop music. I take dance lessons once a week. I am one of the oldest people in the class. I'm learning to break dance which has been a goal of mine since childhood. I wish I had started dance lessons when I was younger but enjoy the opportunity now.

I really like New Kids on the Block.

I was born in the 1980s.

I do not work.

I have 8 babies. My kids and I enjoy dance. I can't afford to pay for dance lessons for all my kids.

I enjoyed going to New York.

I like the show Dance Moms.

[Speaker 1] I think I found a job I want to apply for.

[Speaker 2] Oh, thats amazing! What's the job?!

[Speaker 1] It is for a paralegal!

[Speaker 2] Wow that's right in line with your interests eh! I don't even really get what they do lol. Do you know the specifics of the job?

[Speaker 1] Basically I will be a secretary for a law firm. How are you and your kids planning to spend the summer?

[Speaker 2] That's neat. Will that help you if you get into school for law? Kids are planning on driving me crazy this summer I think haha. Hopefully there will be a lot of beach days with their friends to keep them busy but nothing concrete is planned yet.

[Speaker 1] It definitely will help me advance towards my goals! It will make for a busy summer, but I am excited for the challenge! It sounds like you and the kiddos will have a lot of rest and relaxation during break. That's always nice!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it's hard to always find something affordable for all of us to do so we go for the free and cheap adventures. Luckily the older ones think they're too cool to hang out with mom and would rather visit with their friends which gives me a bit of a break--Do I sound like a bad mom? haha.

[Speaker 1] LOL no, you don't sound like a bad mom at all! Even though I'm lowkey obsessed with everything law related, I promise I am not at all judgmental.

[Speaker 2] Haha!! Sometimes I feel like it because they are so overwhelming, but I love them more than the world! I guess thats one thing I didnt think about when I saw their cute faces was--this is a lot of work and a long road! Do you have any ideas of fun family activities? Anything from childhood that was a good memory?

[Speaker 1] I sure do! Have any of you ever had the pleasure or riding horses? My family farm offers horse riding lessons for anyone interested, free of charge. If you're interested I can pass along the details a little later. I'm actually just leaving the farm where I train my current horse. She did well on the hurdles today. I definitely recommend a little horse therapy. You might even like it more than that old school music you love lol

[Speaker 2] Wow that would be amazing for the children! We've never been able to afford anything like that! I don't know about loving it more than my music, but the way you make it sound theres definitely some competition there!

I like courtroom dramas.

I will be working at a law firm. If I work as a paralegal it will help me with my goal of going to law school. I'm really interested in the law. I am not judgmental.

I really like New Kids on the Block.

I was born in the 1980s.

I do not work.

I enjoyed going to New York.

I like the show Dance Moms.

My kids will be on summer break soon. I have trouble finding affordable things to do with my kids. My older kids prefer to hang out with friends and I enjoy the break.

[Speaker 1] I applied for the paralegal job.  Hopefully I heard back soon.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that would be so great if you get it! that would give you such an advantage at getting into a good law school.

[Speaker 1] I know. I'm so nervous. My hands were shaking when I was uploading my resume. Have you figured out what activities you'll be doing with the kids this summer?

[Speaker 2] With money being short, we'll probably do a lot of day trips. The park is always nice and we have a lake close by.

[Speaker 1] Oh the lake sounds wonderful. Do you enjoy swimming?

[Speaker 2] I do more wadding than swimming. I enjoy the water, but I'm not a strong swimmer. How's the horse training going?

[Speaker 1] Nugget is stubborn as a mule, he doesn't want to jump, so it's slow going. He's so funny though, and temperamental. He just requires patience. Kind of like kids, right? LOL

[Speaker 2] You know it! How old is nugget?

[Speaker 1] He's just shy of 2 years. How old is your youngest? Do the older kids help take care of the littles?I don't see how you manage - you must have the patience of a saint.

[Speaker 2] Hardly, my youngest is 5 and will start school in the Fall. My older kids help out a lot with the younger ones. That's the only way I manage.

[Speaker 1] That's great. I'm not even sure I want kids, but sometimes a big family seems so nice. So when are you going to send me a video of you break dancing? It's so impressive that you are learning that.

[Speaker 2] Any day now lol! I get better with each class. Still working on mastering the head spin.


Charity work gives me fulfillment.

I go to mcdonalds often.

I don't know what it is like to have money.

I loved working out with children.

I have an adventurous attitude towards new foods.

I love listening to haikus.

I enjoy playing sports.

I love science fiction moves and books.

[Speaker 1] Hey! My name is coach jon.

[Speaker 2] What sport do you coach?

[Speaker 1] I was a high school gym teacher and basket ball coach, I am retired now. A

[Speaker 2] I always liked basketball. I played d1 football instead though

[Speaker 1] Eat lots of meat to stay built, I always say a cheeseburger a day

[Speaker 2] Oh, have you ever tried coffee?

[Speaker 1] Of course! But it doesn't go good with burgers.

[Speaker 2] You should definitely give more a try. I drink 5 cups a day

[Speaker 1] Geez that's a lot of money, I count pennies, I grew up in the gutter.

[Speaker 2] Grew up in the gutter? Why?

[Speaker 1] I was dirt poor, went to a soup kitchen every day. Now volunteer there.

I don't like working with the public.

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

[Speaker 1] Hi, want to get to know each other

[Speaker 2] Yes! Tell me about yourself? I'm a gamer.

[Speaker 1] That sounds cool. I've a kid, but he is too young for gaming

[Speaker 2] I am addicted to the internet, want to work from home

[Speaker 1] That would be nice. I earn my living at the bank, it pays

[Speaker 2] Nice, I dye my hair all the time I couldn't work there.

[Speaker 1] You'd be surprised our society is more accepting than you think

[Speaker 2] Thanks for saying that. I attended to vet school once

[Speaker 1] Did not you finish the program

[Speaker 2] No, I hated it so I quit. I did not like seeing blood.

[Speaker 1] So what do you do now

[Speaker 2] Just spend time roleplay gaming. You?

[Speaker 1] I meant for money, or does that pay?

[Speaker 2] It does pay, not much but it does.

[Speaker 1] Well to each their own I guess

[Speaker 2] What else do you do?


My dad sold things for a living.

I love my chihuahua, my schnauzer, and my shih tzu.

[Speaker 1] I try to, but my polyamorous relationship keeps me active

[Speaker 1] Many. Do you like many, too? Or just one?

[Speaker 2] I like one? I do not understand that

[Speaker 1] Relationships with more than one partner, with the knowledge of all partners

[Speaker 2] Hm never heard of that before

[Speaker 1] Yeah, something new everyday, huh?

[Speaker 2] It always is. Life sure is unpredictable.

I plant flowers.
I enjoy starbucks drinks.
I show historical artifacts.
I love to read.

Peter parker is probably the best superhero.

I went to culinary school after high school.

I enjoy marvel story lines.

I like trying new recipes and being in the ocean.

[Speaker 1] Hi, I am part deaf

[Speaker 2] That must be fun, what do you do for leisure?

[Speaker 1] What do you mean with leisure

[Speaker 1] Tell me something about yourself.

[Speaker 2] We are having another county bake sale, I always go. Will you go?

[Speaker 1] I've 5 cats and 2 dogs.

My favorite food is mexican food.

My favorite band is aerosmith.

I've been working since I was sixteen years old.

I'm a construction worker.

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

I have been trying all types of food everywhere I go.

I have been traveling the world for a years.

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

I could eat taco bell all day.
I could listen to classic rock all day.
I've been employed for awhile.
I rebuild structures.

I'm trying to learn how to create recipes.

I am open to new experiences.

I've made my way around earth for decades.

I lease luxury boats.

[Speaker 1] Hello! My fav band is aerosmith. They are great listening for construction work.

[Speaker 2] Awesome! Have you been to any of there concert?

[Speaker 1] Yes! I am at one now. I have been working since 16 to see them a lot.

[Speaker 2] Good for you! Hard work pays off! When you retire, you can travel the world like me!

[Speaker 1] I've zero dollars saved though. I spend it all on mexican food and drugs.

[Speaker 2] Mexican food is good! I get to try many types of food due to travel!

[Speaker 1] Have you ever traveled to the antarctic?

[Speaker 2] Yes I've! Love it! I travel by yacht, so I've been all over!

[Speaker 1] Wow, traveling the ocean in a yacht seems sketchy.

[Speaker 2] Adventure! I rent my yacht out when not using it so others can experience it!

[Speaker 1] So cool. How much to rent it?

[Speaker 2] 5000 week. Definitely worth doing at some point in your life!

[Speaker 1] Hmmm maybe. I would rather put that towards bitcoin.

[Speaker 2] I'm not familiar with that

[Speaker 1] Make lots of money, keep these gains I'll be able to buy 20 yachts.

[Speaker 2] Wow! That sounds so interesting!

I do construction work. I have been working since I was 16.

I spend my money on Mexican food and drugs.

I invest in bitcoin. Bitcoin is a good invenstment.

I travel the world.

I like Mexican food.

I do not know about bitcoin.

[Speaker 1] The Aerosmith concert was fantastic! It was one of their best.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a lot of fun! It's been too long since I've been to a concert. Do you go to concerts regularly?

[Speaker 1] Yes! I try to go to as many as I can. Work allowing of course lol

[Speaker 2] I've been thinking about changing jobs recently. I feel like I need to get outdoors more, or at least have a change of venue.

[Speaker 1] Outdoors is great no doubt. I know it's a different thing, but I much prefer outdoor concerts to inside ones.

[Speaker 2] They had one in my area this weekend. We have a beautiful outdoor amphitheater and there's usually a summer concert series in town.

[Speaker 1] Oh that sounds really fun! Did you get to go?

[Speaker 2] I only walked by because they were sold out. I am hoping to get tickets to one later this summer, though. I think it would be a lot of fun. Do you have a favorite kind of  band to see?

[Speaker 1] That's a bummer, but hopefully you can check it out later this year! I really enjoy rock concerts.

[Speaker 2] I think they have them from June through September if I remember correctly. I also love rock concerts, but the last one I've been to live was a long time ago. It's been like 10 years ago.

[Speaker 1] You should go to one this year! If of course you can find one you want to see.

[Speaker 2] I think it's a pretty mixed bag for the concert in the park series. I think they have everything from polka to rock. I should check the calendar and see! I know our community is known for having lots of community events and most of them are free. It's a blast.

My favorite band is Aerosmith. I go to Aerosmith concerts. I go to as many concerts as I can.

I spend my money on Mexican food.

I enjoy being outdoors. I prefer outdoor concerts to indoor concerts. I enjoy rock concerts.

I do not know about bitcoin.

I have a job but am thinking about changing to a different one. I enjoy being outdoors.

I would enjoy going to an Aerosmith concert. I wanted to go to the concert but did not. I am hoping to go later this summer. I enjoy rock concerts. I haven't been to a rock concert in 10 years.

I enjoy the culture of my local community.

[Speaker 1] I would enjoy going to a rock concert with you.

[Speaker 2] I would love to go. But, it's been awhile so it's going to be a little wired.

[Speaker 1] It'll only be wierd at first, after the first set, it'll seem like old times.

[Speaker 2] Maybe! So, how much is the concert tickets?

[Speaker 1] How much are the tickets??? C'mon, you have a yacht!!  I actually paid in Bitcoin, so not sure of the dollar equivalent.

[Speaker 2] That's right! I am not worried about the cost. I was just curious, since i have never been to the concert in 10 years.

[Speaker 1] Ah, that makes sense.  Ticket are $150, or about 5 hours of yacht rental!  Hey, would you consider allowing us to use the yacht?  The concert is on the French Riviera.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that's a great idea! Sure we can! So, are you inviting any of your friends to the concert?

[Speaker 1] I had not invited anyone yet because I wasn't sure if you would be willing to allow us to use the yacht.  How many people would the yacht comfortably fit?

[Speaker 2] 10 crew. I think i have a couple of friends who would join, so you can ask around 6-7 people.

[Speaker 1] Perfect.  One of the people I will ask to go has made a bundle investing in crypto currencies and I know he is looking to purchase a yacht, so if you are looking to sell, I can introduce you.

[Speaker 2] Perfect! Actually i am not in the idea of selling it right now, but i will keep in mind, if i change my plan in the future.

I spend my money on Mexican food.

I do not know about bitcoin.

[Speaker 1] I talked to my friends about going to the concert on your yacht and they're really excited.

[Speaker 2] That is great to hear!  They get to avoid all that nasty traffic and just enjoy a nice relaxing cruise to the port which is only two miles from the venue!  I am kicking myself a bit for not getting tickets sooner, but I know they are heading a little further south in a month or so and may get tickets then.

[Speaker 1] That is sad to hear I wish you were going with us! Live music is always better than listening to a soundtrack in my opinion!

[Speaker 2] I'm just glad you talked everyone into the Yacht.  Skipper Tim will be the one piloting the vessel and you couldn't ask for a better person at the helm!  You may never want to travel by car again.

[Speaker 1] I do like driving! I'm a big fan of road trips! Do you always travel by yacht?

[Speaker 2] It really depends.  I like to keep her in the ocean so I don't venture much into the rivers or lakes.  So if I am doing business or pleasure away from the sea, I will be driving instead.

[Speaker 1] Very cool! When did you get your first yacht?

[Speaker 2] I had been renting one with friends for a few years, but I finally splashed some cash about seven years ago.  Best investment I ever made to be honest.  It's allowed me to travel so much.  If I ever leave my job, I need something that gives me a lot of flexibility with travel!

[Speaker 1] Wow that is so cool! I am still saving to buy a house I can't even imagine purchasing a yacht!

[Speaker 2] Well, I got a little lucky with stocks, but don't think I didn't work my butt off.  Your ship (even if it isn't a yacht) will be coming in soon!  I can feel it.  I don't know much about Bitcoin, but I just read that it was really looking strong.

[Speaker 1] Haha thank you! Hopefully one day I will have my own yacht and my own home! The stock market can be a good way to make money!

[Speaker 2] Just have to follow the trends.  You are doing pretty well to hop on Bitcoin, but pay attention and know when it's time to abandon ship.  Another boat metaphor!  I can't help myself...throw me a life preserver.

I spend my money on Mexican food.

I enjoy being outdoors. I prefer outdoor concerts to indoor concerts. I enjoy rock concerts I paid for concert tickets with Bitcoin. I think live music is better than recorded music.

My friends and I are excited to go to a concert on a yacht. I am saving money to buy a house. I can't fathom buying a yacht.

I like driving and taking road trips.

I travel the world. I like Mexican food. I have been to the Antarctic. I have a yacht. I like adventure. I rent my yacht out. It costs $5000 a week to rent my yacht. My yacht fits ten people. I bought my first yacht seven years ago. I was renting a yacht with friends before then. I often travel by yacht in the ocean. When I am not traveling by sea, I drive.

I was not able to get tickets for the concert on the yacht. I will try to get tickets next month or so.

I do not know about bitcoin. I invest in stocks. I worked hard with my investments. I read about Bitcoin and thought it was a good buy.

[Speaker 1] I'm hearing more and more analysts say positive things about Bitcoin. Maybe you should buy now before the prices go up even higher.

[Speaker 2] You know, it's looks really good... on paper. I need to study it a little more. The last time there was a rush on Bitcoin, a friend invested heavily and within a month, he'd lost 40K.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I see what you mean. I think stocks are generally a risky area to gain money. They have their ups and downs I would say. I would definitely look into it before you do anything!

[Speaker 2] I think a good S&P mutual fund might be a nice, conservative investment. Won't ring any bells overnight, but will gradually and reliably grow itself.

[Speaker 1] I totally get that. So where else have you been besides Antarctic?

[Speaker 2] All over Southeast Asia... Australia... Taiwan... Japan... Hawaii... all over South America... Iceland... Europe, east and west... the Middle East (but it wasn't pleasant)... India... parts of Africa...

[Speaker 1] That's great! Where do you plan on going next?

[Speaker 2] I think I'm gonna stay right where I am and put down some roots. I have a new girlfriend and she's a homebody. I love being on my yacht, though...

[Speaker 1] That's nice! Maybe both you and your girlfriend can travel occasionally on your yacht!

[Speaker 2] She wants to... eventually. Right now, she's enjoying sitting on her patio every evening with a glass of wine, listening to the surf. I have to confess I like that too.

[Speaker 1] It even sounds amazing! It seems very relaxing!

[Speaker 2] Oh, it is! It helps that we stay on a small, south Jersey island not too far north of Wildwood. It's crowded during the day, but the beach is pretty deserted at night.


Tony hawk is my idol.

I like extreme sports.

I've a cast because I shattered my femur.

My peeps are all skaters.

[Speaker 2] I am well. How about you?

[Speaker 1] Doing great. Do you have any hobbies you are fond of?

[Speaker 2] Poetry. Roses are red. Violet are...?

[Speaker 1] Blue... I believe. My hobby is skateboarding, and I broke my arm one time

[Speaker 2] You are right! A broken arm sounds painful.

[Speaker 1] Yes it is. Any horrible accidents happen to you?

[Speaker 2] Just bumps and bruises from playing college football.

[Speaker 1] Do you still play college football?

[Speaker 2] No. Now I spend time reading poetry. Do you drink coffee?

[Speaker 1] Since I'm always skateboarding with friends I need energy so yes I do.

[Speaker 2] Do you like different kinds?

[Speaker 1] I just stick to my cappuccinos. Do you enjoy more than one kind?

[Speaker 2] I try a lot of kinds. Do you like star wars?

I've a big library at home.
I am a museum tour guide.
I grow roses in my garden.

In my free time I like to watch nascar racing and ufc.

I have been working since I was sixteen years old.

My favorite food is mexican food.

I can only somewhat hear.
I love to read.
I show historical artifacts.
I plant flowers.
I enjoy starbucks drinks.

I rebuild structures.
I enjoy car shows and wresting.
I've been employed for awhile.
I could eat taco bell all day.

[Speaker 1] Hi, do you like to read? I have a big library at my home

[Speaker 2] I'm not much of a reader. I prefer watching ufc and nascar.

[Speaker 1] When I'm not reading I work as a museum tour guide

[Speaker 2] Cool. I'm in construction myself. Been at it since I was 16.

[Speaker 1] Awesome. Do you like tea? I prefer it over coffee

[Speaker 2] Tea is okay. I prefer horchata. Get it all the time when I have mexican food.

[Speaker 1] I read about horchata. What about gardening? I grow roses

[Speaker 2] I am not a green thumb person, but gardening is okay.

[Speaker 1] It is relaxing. What kind of construction? I am building a new rose garden

[Speaker 2] I build homes for low income families. Do you live alone?

[Speaker 1] My favorite tea is chamomile

[Speaker 2] I have had that before. Not sure I am a fan. Chai is good though.

[Speaker 1] I'm also working on my library. There is always a need for more book shelves

[Speaker 2] You should consider working in construction like me.

[Speaker 1] Yes, maybe I will change jobs from a museum tour guide

[Speaker 2] You seem cool. We should hang out and have mexican food sometime.

I like to read. I have a library at home. I am working on my library and building more bookshelves.

I work at museum as a tour guide.

I prefer tea over coffee. My favorite tea is chamomile tea.

I have a garden of roses.

I like to watch UFC and NASCAR.

I work in construction.

I prefer horchata. I always have horchata when having Mexican food. I prefer chai tea to chamomile tea.

I do not garden.

[Speaker 1] How long have you been working in construction?

[Speaker 2] About four years, and I love being able to build structures for those who need it. How long have you been a tour guide?

[Speaker 1] I've been doing it for about ten years.  Before that I was a volunteer at the museum.  I do like doing the tour guide thing and helping people understand history.

[Speaker 2] That is very cool! What areas of history do you cover?

[Speaker 1] It is local history.  But that includes the Native American tribe that once lived and owned this land.

[Speaker 2] That's interesting, especially since you've been doing it so long. How long have you been gardening?

[Speaker 1] I grew up with gardens.  My mom grew rose bushes and we always had a vegetable garden.  There is nothing like picking the vegetables and then cooking them for dinner.  I know you said you don't garden, but I always recommend growing a few vegetables, it is so much healthier.

[Speaker 2] I might get into it. A lot of the meals I like to make at home incorporate fresh vegetables and fruits, especially my favorite Hispanic dishes. Maybe I could look into growing cinnamon.

[Speaker 1] I definitely have cilantro in my herb garden for when I make salsa.  Did you know that cinnamon comes from a tree?

[Speaker 2] I had no idea! I've always seen the sticks but I thought maybe there was a cinnamon bush or something. You'll have to send me your salsa recipe as well I'm sure it's delicious.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I am always tinkering with the salsa recipe.  I have never quite perfected it yet.  What is your favorite Mexican dish?

[Speaker 2] I love carne asada. My father had a friend growing up that would make it for Fourth of July and it was always really delicious. If you won't hand over the salsa recipe, do you have any good tea recipes? I know you mentioned loving chamomile tea.

I work at museum as a tour guide. I have been a tour guide for 10 years. I like helping people understand history. I cover local history.

I have a garden of roses. I like gardening. My mom used to grow roses and vegetables. We used to eat the vegetables we grew. I grow cilantro. I make my own salsa.

I like to watch UFC and NASCAR.

I build homes for the low-income families. I work in construction. I have been working for 4 years. I love building homes.

[Speaker 1] I think I finally found the secret to the BEST salsa recipe!

[Speaker 2] Oh I love salsa with mexican food! What's the recipe?

[Speaker 1] I have basically perfected how to grow the best cilantro. It involves a lot of plant nutrients and tending to my garden, but it is worth it when combined with fresh jalapenos and tomatoes from my garden! What is the best salsa you have ever tasted?

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure to be honest. I've tried so many different kinds. I would be biased but I think my salsa is the best. I love making things like salsa and jams and jellies!

[Speaker 1] We might have to have a salsa competition one of these days then! Are you saying that you like to make fruit flavored salsa? That can be a lot of fun to experiment with.

[Speaker 2] That sounds fun! I love to make salsa with tomatoes and such. I also like to make jams and jellies.. but of course only when the fruit and veggies are in season and I can find them at the farmer's market.

[Speaker 1] Do you ever sell your salsa, jams, or jellies at the farmer's market? That is something I have always wanted to try. I figured it could be a nice side hustle!

[Speaker 2] I have sold them actually! But I always run out quickly. I just don't have enough ingredients to make a bunch of product. I don't garden.

[Speaker 1] Have you ever thought about trying your hand at it? I honestly find it really relaxing, and it is great not having to rely on anyone else for fresh veggies!

[Speaker 2] I have thought about it, but between my job and my volunteer work I just don't think I have the time it requires to keep it up.

[Speaker 1] That totally makes sense. If you ever get the free time, I highly recommend it! It can be a nice break from the stress of your job too.

[Speaker 2] Yes I've heard that! Currently my stress reliever is a good book and a hot cup of tea. They are always my go to!

I like to watch UFC and NASCAR.

I like reading.

[Speaker 1] Got anymore salsa recipes I could get from you?

[Speaker 2] Definitely! I have a very good mango salsa recipe if you want that!

[Speaker 1] I sure do! Maybe I'll consider growing my own mangos if the recipe is as amazing as I hope it is.

[Speaker 2] Definitely! Mangos are one of my favorite fruits you should grow me some too!

[Speaker 1] Haha I'll get multiple mango trees just in case. You can try my version of your recipe too! Hopefully it's decent.

[Speaker 2] That sounds amazing! Maybe if it's good enough I can sell it for both of us at the farmer's market!

[Speaker 1] That's a win win situation! How has the farmer's market business been lately?

[Speaker 2] I've been doing very well! My granddaughter has been coming with me and helping me set up and take down my stand!

[Speaker 1] That's adorable. I'm sure she's been super helpful. I would actually like to help you out there one of these days. Maybe I'll find something else there for me to start growing!

[Speaker 2] That sounds great, you're welcome to come any time! What would you like to find there!

[Speaker 1] I'm hoping to find a fruit that grows well in my growing zone and is sturdy so I won't have to worry about it dying.

[Speaker 2] Awesome! Are you hoping to find a fruit that grows on trees? I've always wanted an orchard but don't think I'd be much good at taking care of it!

I have a garden of roses. I like gardening. My mom used to grow roses and vegetables. We used to eat the vegetables we grew. I grow cilantro. I like to make salsa using recipes from my friend. I like to cook using food that I grew myself. I have a version of the mango salsa recipe.

I'm always looking for something new to grow. I am careful to grow fruit that won't die in my growing zone.

I like to watch UFC and NASCAR.

I do not garden. I like making food with fruits and vegetables. I eat Hispanic food. My favorite Mexican food is carne asada. I have eaten it ever since I was a kid on the 4th of July. I like making salsas, jams and jellies. My mango salsa recipe is delicious. I love mangos.

I like to buy from the farmer's market. I sell jellies at the farmer's market. My business has been doing well at the farmer's market. My granddaughter helps me at the farmer's market.

I have always wanted an orchard.

[Speaker 1] I tried your mango salsa recipe and it was delicious! Do you have any other recipes I can use?

[Speaker 2] Yes! I have several for other types of salsas or I can send some of the jelly recipes. Which do you prefer? I'm so glad you liked the mango salsa one!

[Speaker 1] You mentioned a chili jam? I saw Jamie Oliver use that in a fried rice recipe. I'd love the chili jam recipe if you don't mind sharing.

[Speaker 2] Oh yes of course! I'll email it to you if you don't mind!

[Speaker 1] Fantastic. Business still picking up at the farmer's market? It's the season for it. Oh, maybe you could make some nice salad dressings for summer. I bet those would sell.

[Speaker 2] I've never tried the dressing route, but you may have just inspired me! Yes, business is going very well! In fact, my mango salsa is one of my best sellers right now.

[Speaker 1] I bet! Its so delicious, and will be very popular for cookouts I bet. It was especially good with the fresh cilantro from my herb garden. How's your grandaughter doing?

[Speaker 2] Fresh herbs always make a difference. I tell people that all the time. She's doing good! She's learning to make some of my recipes as well.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I'm sure she enjoys that. Of course the best part of making your recipes is eating them, haha. I made chicken tacos for lunch today just so I could eat some of the salsa. I ate so much.

[Speaker 2] Haha, it is I must agree! Chicken tacos are fabulous. I make one salsa that has white queso in it that is really good with tortilla chips.

[Speaker 1] Well I may need that recipe as well. I love me some loaded nachos. I don't know how you have time for all the cooking between the construction job and the volunteer work. You're certainly busy.

[Speaker 2] I'll send that one in the email as well! I love cooking it's a big passion of mine.
