[Speaker 2] I'm not familiar with that person. Who are they?

[Speaker 1] Are you serious George? You're joking right?

[Speaker 2] Nah, not joking. I haven't a clue who that is.

[Speaker 1] And you all yourself a fan of Radiohead. I'm shocked.

[Speaker 2] We play music like Radiohead. I never said I was a fan of them per say. Besides, I don't really keep up with the names of people in bands if I'm honest. I just like the music.

[Speaker 1] Wait, so you make music like a band you don't even really listen to or are a fan of? George, I don't fully understand you musicians I guess.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I guess I'm a little weird there. It's happened before where people have been talking about a member from a popular band and I had no clue who they were on about.

[Speaker 1] It's alright. Just giving you a hard time. Sometimes I meet someone in person and two minutes later I don't remember their name.

[Speaker 2] I'm the same way. I'm really bad with names as well. In one and out the other.

French fries are my favourite food.

I compete with show dogs. I love dogs.

[Speaker 2] That sounds interesting. I wish I could have a witness someone famous because I record music

[Speaker 1] Yeah, they told me who it was but I can't remember their name. Have you recorded anything recently?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I have a recorded a Jingle music for a television advertisement campaign. Have yor dog won any shows?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, we won the most recent one we did! I got a bit of money from it.

[Speaker 2] That is fantastic. I wish I have a dog because I love dogs. suggest me a book to read for reading beginner.

[Speaker 1] Oh! You should read "The Kite Runner." I love that book! It's about 2 boys in Afghan and their struggles in the local community. It's at my bookstore you can totally check it out!

[Speaker 2] I love to visit your store one day. Have you witnessed any live music recording?

[Speaker 1] I've seen AC/DC at a live concert before. What's it like being a bee farmer?

[Speaker 2] It was refreshing and spiritual being a farmer. Producing food is a liberating experience. I also like french fries. What other food you like?

[Speaker 1] I love papaya like you do. It's a great food, and I love fruits.

French fries are my favourite food. I love papaya and fruits.

I compete with show dogs. I love dogs.

I am not a musician.

I once sold a book to a famous person. I didn't realize they were famous until after.

I love the book The Kite Runner.

I've been to an AC/DC concert.

My name is George.

I am a bee farmer. I enjoy dancing.

Papaya is my favourite food. I like french fries.

I'm not close to any of my family. I love dogs. I don't have a dog.

[Speaker 1] What type of dog would you want to own?

[Speaker 2] I would definitely love to have an Alsatian dog. You said you love dogs, do you have any?

[Speaker 1] I don't have a dog, but I would love to have one, i think they're cute

[Speaker 2] They definitely are. What breed would you like to have?

[Speaker 1] i like australian shepherds, i've always wanted one, I always have fun with them

[Speaker 2] Australian shepherds? I've never heard of them. Please can you tell me more about them?

[Speaker 1] they're really furry and the one i met was named Radiohead

[Speaker 2] Oh! It was named after the band. You like rock music?

[Speaker 1] Yes, it's my favorite rock band, I love the Radioheads

[Speaker 2] Me too. The music I record is very similar to the Radioheads. Have you been to any rock concert?

[Speaker 1] No, but I would love to, it's my favorite music genre

[Speaker 2] I fell in love with rock music when I heard Freddie Macquarie. That guy was a super genius.

I compete with show dogs. I love dogs.

I am not a musician.

I love the book The Kite Runner.

I've been to an AC/DC concert. Radiohead is my favorite rock band. I have never been to a rock concert. My favorite music genre is rock.

My name is George.

I am a bee farmer. I enjoy dancing.

For fun I play shows, record music, and read. The music I record is like the band Radiohead, or slower rock music in general. I recorded a jingle for a television advertisement. Freddie Macquarie made me fall in love with rock.

I don't know who Thom Yorke is. I am not interested in band members' names. I have trouble remembering people's names. I have never heard of Australian Shepherd dogs.

[Speaker 1] I have been making a playlist of my favorite rock songs.

[Speaker 2] What songs have you got on your playlist? Maybe you could get some of my music on it.

[Speaker 1] Recently I've just been listening to all Radiohead songs, but I'm getting a bit bored. So, maybe you can expand my musical horizons.

[Speaker 2] How can you get bored with Radiohead? My songs are quite similar. Ok what about R.E.M or Aerosmith?

[Speaker 1] Even Radiohead can get repetitive I guess. REM is nice. I haven't been listening to them lately but that's not a bad idea.

[Speaker 2] Sometimes it is good to go back to music you haven't listened to for a while. It can rekindle a love for their music.

[Speaker 1] That's true. Do you ever try to find new music and bands that you might like, or do you only listen to older music?

[Speaker 2] I normally stick to the older stuff a I find better inspiration than from the newer music.

[Speaker 1] Do you mean inspiration for your own shows? What type of music do you usually play?

[Speaker 2] Yes for the music I record. It is usually slow rock music like those bands I mentioned. I find it works well with my style and it comes quite naturally.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I see. Have you ever experimented with other genres? It might be fun.

[Speaker 2] I haven't actually, I would not know where to start. What genres would you recommend?


I think animals are sacred.
I own 5 cats.
I am a plumber.
I learned a lot from my father.
I work in construction.

I'm a student.

[Speaker 1] I am a construction worker. I do not know much about computers

[Speaker 2] I am doing good, and you? I also teach swimming locally

[Speaker 1] That must be interesting. I don't have time outside of house building to do much

[Speaker 2] That is fine, do you like death metal music?

[Speaker 1] No, not really. I'm more into stuff from the eighties.

[Speaker 2] I see, I'm from india and you?

[Speaker 1] Ohio. Pretty boring, really. Just me and my 5 cats. Do you have pets?

[Speaker 2] Do you like eighties music? I love it.

[Speaker 1] Yep. Absolutely. Great stuff. Bon jovi, poison, journey... All the hair bands

[Speaker 2] No, I had a dog and a turtle in the past

[Speaker 1] That is cool. Why don't you have pets now?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I love those bands, you like hard stuff?

[Speaker 1] Like metallica? They are definitely cool.

[Speaker 2] I do not want to talk about my pets

[Speaker 2] Why do you get to leave

[Speaker 1] Cool, I got a spiderman comic at a gas station

[Speaker 2] I had a spiderman comic as a kid. My adopted parents gave it to me.

[Speaker 1] Spiderman and gas stations rule

[Speaker 2] Clowns don't though, they scare me.

[Speaker 1] Yeah do your old parents scare you?

[Speaker 2] No, but my dad keeps setting me up on blind dates.

[Speaker 1] Or does the clown trauma scare you from being a kid?

[Speaker 2] I did have a traumatic experience about that.

[Speaker 1] Yeah? Wow crazy, hope it gets better

[Speaker 2] Yeah, until then, keep those clowns away from me.

[Speaker 2] Animals are wonderful. As a cancer survivor, my cat was always near me.

[Speaker 1] My love the color blue, what is your favorite color?

[Speaker 1] Well you are right it is blue, I am sure if you buy it will be green right?

[Speaker 2] You bet it would be, so what kind of rescue you do for pets?

[Speaker 1] Mostly the abandoned pets where ever we find, so what kind of cat you have?

[Speaker 2] I have a black cat and I love her and I always take her with me for running practice.

[Speaker 1] That is so nice, so how is the new job going on?

[Speaker 2] Well its ok not too interesting though, I wonder what happens in shipyards?

[Speaker 1] Well i use my experience and fix the ships and sometime also go as a merchant.

[Speaker 2] Wow you must be brave enough to spend days in the ocean as it scares me.

[Speaker 1] Yep it is something requires a lot of patience.

[Speaker 2] I bet it is as some ships spent months in ocean I heard.

I used to be in the military. I work in a shipyard. I fix ships.

I donate to veteran's charities.

I like to run. I bought new pants to run in.

I have a black cat. I love my cat. I attend running practice.

[Speaker 1] I just rescued a black kitten and thought of you. Any desire to adopt a new cat?

[Speaker 2] I love black cats! Is it a boy or a girl?

[Speaker 1] It's a girl and she is the most playful thing I've ever seen.  Just wants to play and be with people.

[Speaker 2] She sounds adorable. Sometimes I worry that my cat Jackson gets lonely when I'm at work. Is the cat at your rescue or have you been fostering it at home?

[Speaker 1] I am fostering and think that she needs a cat mentor to teach her the ropes.  Right now she thinks she's a person.

[Speaker 2] Haha, I'd love to give her a forever home. I'll come by this weekend if you're free. How are things at the shipyard?

[Speaker 1] Shipyard is crazy.  Remember that ship that was stuck in the Suez canal?  It just came in for repairs!

[Speaker 2] No way! The Ever Given. That was insane how much commerce that blocked up. I heard it was the bulbous bow that got stuck in the bank that made it such a problem to get loose. Is there a lot of damage?

[Speaker 1] Not too much damage, but even when there is limited damage, we are required to do a full check of the entire ship and this one is massive

[Speaker 2] Sounds like a lot of work! At least it's job security. Did you do the same kind of work when you were in the military?

[Speaker 1] Similar, but worked on air craft carriers.  Those are huge also.  There was once a family of bunnies living in the engine room for years before they were discovered!  That's were I acquired my love for them.

[Speaker 2] That's remarkable, a family of bunnies living on an aircraft carrier. Bunnies are adorable and delicious, like pigs.

I work in a shipyard. I fix ships. The ship that was famously stuck in the Suez Canal in currently at my workplace for repairs. I used to work on air craft carriers in the military.

I donate to veteran's charities.

I help my local pet rescue. I like bunnies. I recently rescued a kitten.

I have a lot of patience.

My parents are athletic.

I like the color green.

I love black cats. I have one black cat named Jackson.

I am not a vegetarian.

[Speaker 1] I just heard from a coworker that a person claiming to be a representative of the Egyptian government came by the yard with some kind of warrant-like document claiming that they have a right to seize the Ever Given. It's NUTS. No one knows how to figure out if he's legit or not.

[Speaker 2] Wow that is nuts! I think you can start by calling someone in local government. They should be able to direct you to find out!

[Speaker 1] Yea I think that would be best. Also do my diligent research online as well.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, look up as much as you can! How long do you have before they try to seize it? I don't get why the Egyptian government would want it.

[Speaker 1] They told us we had two weeks but it seems sketchy but that could be my imagination!

[Speaker 2] That does seem really sketchy. That thing belongs in a museum or something haha. Didn't you get directions of where it was going when it was brought in?

[Speaker 1] Yea I'm just joking haha. Ummm, my coworker had got the address but I haven't asked yet.

[Speaker 2] haha so no Egyptian government? Man I was so ready to go Sherlock and Watson on this mystery with you!

[Speaker 1] Haha, i had to get your adrenaline pumping for your workout today. Don't you have a marathon to prep for?

[Speaker 2] Haha yeah that'll do it! Probably not as good as stretching my muscles but it's a start! Marathon isn't for two months but I'm training every day!

[Speaker 1] Right! Two months is the decent amount of time to get ready for it. So what's the purpose of the marathon?

[Speaker 2] This one is actually in support of cancer research so its close to home for me. I think I'm pretty ready for it, but I never stop training!

I donate to veteran's charities.

I have a lot of patience.

I'm having trouble with the Egyptian government.

I had cancer. I am going to run a marathon.I wear blue sweatpants when I run. I'm preparing for a marathon in two months.

My parents are athletic.

I like the color green.

I am not a vegetarian.

[Speaker 1] How's training for the marathon going?

[Speaker 2] Its going great so far.  I'm trying to increase my time and distance gradually to avoid injury.  How far do you usually run?

[Speaker 1] I like to run short distances, definitely not anything like you're doing. I ran cross-country in high school. I've been dealing with a lot lately, so running helps blow off steam.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, so sorry to hear that.  Anything you want to talk about?

[Speaker 1] Oh, nothing new than what I've already told you. Work is a nightmare. I'd rather talk about other things. How are your cats? I love my new kitten.

[Speaker 2] I only have one cat named Jackson.  He's great, and so funny.  He always keeps me entertained.  That's awesome you rescued a  kitten!  Tell me about it.

[Speaker 1] I'd much rather hear more about your marathon! What city is it in?

[Speaker 2] Charlotte.  It is to support cancer research.  I have lost several family members to cancer.

[Speaker 1] That's great you're participating in something to memorialize them like that. Are you worried about the summer heat in North Carolina? How do marathon runners stay cool?

[Speaker 2] Well, it starts early in the morning.  7 am.  There are lots of hydration stations along the route, which help.  For me, knowing it is going to keep getting hotter as time passes makes me run faster...lol!

[Speaker 1] That's a good way to think of it! Do you have one of those water backpacks? I used to run with one of those in the summer.

[Speaker 2] No, but that's a great idea!  I may have to look into that!

[Speaker 2] Hi good thank you. I'm wanda, age 60

[Speaker 1] I am 43 and try to buy only organic products

[Speaker 2] That is very good. I work in a library. How about you?

[Speaker 1] I work online in data entry, and I am a strong feminist.

[Speaker 2] Good for you! I love traveling... Do you like to travel?

[Speaker 1] I do, but mostly I love to surf the internet, I'm an avid twitter user.

[Speaker 2] Twitter is fun, yes. Ever been to spain? I've.

[Speaker 1] No never, would love to, I recently had solar panels installed on my roof.

[Speaker 2] That's a good thing to do. Do they work well?

[Speaker 1] So far, they're new to me so we will see. Married or kids?

[Speaker 2] No, neither. I will probably retire in several years, so probably will be lonely

[Speaker 1] That is sad, are you looking? I'm single but looking.

[Speaker 2] Kind of... But I'm 60, so I do not know how realistic it is

[Speaker 1] Never to late, you are a catch! Look at it that way!

[Speaker 2] Aw you are nice... I like your way of thinking

My name is Darlene. I am single.

I am 43. I try to buy organic.

I work online in data entry. I am a strong feminist.

I like to travel. I mostly surf the internet. I use twitter frequently.

I have nerver been to Spain. I just had solar panels installed.

My name is Wanda. I am 60.

I work in a library.

I like to travel. I have been to Spain.

[Speaker 1] I found a new online dating platform for people in their 60's.

[Speaker 2] That is neat.  I might take a look at it to see what's out there.  You think there are any takers for an ol' librarian like me?

[Speaker 1] Absolutely! your a wonderful conversationalist. I'm sure you would make someone very happy

[Speaker 2] We will see.  I have wanted to go travel when I retire.  I may go back to Spain.  Maybe.... you would like to go?  It would be a fun girls trip.

[Speaker 1] Travelling to a place like Spain right now makes me nervous. Maybe better to stay in New England

[Speaker 2] I get it.  Overseas travel can be worrisome.  So, if your not going overseas, where do you like to travel to?

[Speaker 1] I mostly want to go to places where I won't run into people whose attitudes don't conflict with mine

[Speaker 2] I see.  It makes sense.  I like to see the world as much as possible.  You get tired of reading about places in a library.  It creates a desire to see these locations.  I plan to go to Iceland soon also.

[Speaker 1] Yes, Iceland sounds like a nice place. They are very insular and maintain a safe space for their residents.

[Speaker 2] Yes.  The views, I have read, are amazing.  Of course, I will have to try out this dating platform you found so I can have someone to share it with.

[Speaker 1] Dating platforms are very popular. You would certainly have alot to choose from.

[Speaker 2] I hope so.  I will be patient and take my time though.  I want to make sure it is someone I am compatible with.

My name is Darlene. I am single.

I am 43. I try to buy organic.  I just had solar panels installed.

I have nerver been to Spain. Traveling to other countries makes me nervous. I live in New England.

My name is Wanda. I am 60.

I am a librarian.

I am not married, nor have any children. I will be retiring in a few years. I am single woman.

I want to retire. I have been to Spain.I like to travel the world. I have plans to visit Iceland. I like to read about traveling.

[Speaker 1] Have you had any luck on the dating platform we talked about the other day?

[Speaker 2] I have!  Lots of matches for women my age, thanks a million.  First date this weekend.  Nervous.

[Speaker 1] That's cool where are you going for your first date?

[Speaker 2] It's an afternoon date, going to a local coffee shop downtown.  Not sure what to wear.  Any suggestions?

[Speaker 1] that is a perfect time to go on a date. I would wear something nice that says I'm ready to mingle!

[Speaker 2] Great idea..I have a little sun dress that makes me feel young and a pair of sandles that I am thinking of wearing if it's nice out.  You think that'll work?

[Speaker 1] yes! that will be so nice to wear. hopefully the weather will be nice. you will do fine on your date!

[Speaker 2] I hope so.  He is a college professor and I am a librarian so feels like a good match.  I feel like a school girl, I'm so excited.

[Speaker 1] that is a perfect match you will win him over. oh yes I remember my first date I was so nervous I threw up before the date.

[Speaker 2] Goodness, you are too much.  Thanks for that, I needed the boost of confidence.  I am going to get my hair done before the date.

[Speaker 1] lol! you will do fine. what hair style you have in mind? where would you like to travel this summer?

[Speaker 2] I am thinking something simple and classy.  For the summer, I am thinking of going to Finland...not quite Iceland, but getting closer!

My name is Darlene. I am single.

I was nervous on my first date.

My name is Wanda. I am 60. I am a librarian.

I want to retire. I have been to Spain.I like to travel the world. I have plans to visit Iceland. I want to go to Finland. I like to read about traveling.

[Speaker 1] So, tell me all about the date.  What happened?  Is there going to be anything happening soon?

[Speaker 2] I think it went really well. Although it was hard to tell as he was a little odd.

[Speaker 1] A little odd? Now I'm curious! Well, share what you like, and if it's private, that's okay too. I appreciate that you're taking your time.

[Speaker 2] Well to start with he was wear a bow tie with t shirt and seemed to not follow on from my conversation. Like I hadn't eve spoken.

[Speaker 1] That sounds rough. And the bow tie is a little off. Wonder if he learned that from a famous person maybe? Sorry that they ignored you.

[Speaker 2] Apart from that we did kind of click. I mean I am probably just as odd! The bow tie must be a professor thing.

[Speaker 1] It helps if there was a tweed jacket I guess, although, I'm on the fence with that detail. If it makes you happy, that's all that counts!

[Speaker 2] No tweed jacket. I do remember me making some comment about that. I got a lecture about how no one in the world can make a good quality tweed jacket anymore.

[Speaker 1] Well, I suppose a professor, might lecture, even for a living! Sounds like the date was a mix of emotions.

[Speaker 2] I am not sure if is a good at lecturing though. I bet he would be one of those that rambles about non related things and then the class just ends.

[Speaker 1] So this is the guy you clicked with on the date? I'm confused! Do you think the two of you will go out again?

[Speaker 2] Its the oddities I was drawn to. Plus I am bit like that myself, its why I never married.

My name is Darlene. I am single.

I was nervous on my first date.

I am very interested in other peoples' business. I am nosy and show that I care but I I just want to be nosy. I am judgmental about peoples' fashion choices.

I use internet dating. I have a date next week at a coffee shop with a college professor. I am conflicted about how much I enjoyed my date. I am judgmental about men's fashion choices. I was overtaken by my date in conversation and could not get a word in edgewise. I am trying to reason with myself that I really did enjoy myself with this guy. I am willing to look past his fashion choices.

I have been in relationships in the past.

[Speaker 1] I met someone who I think would be a great fit for you!

[Speaker 2] Wow, really? What makes you think he'd be a good fit?

[Speaker 1] Well first starters, he is a great conversationalist so he will not overtake all of your conversations. He has great fashion sense and he is also retiring in a few years and wants to travel the world, like you!

[Speaker 2] Oh, that's great. That does sound like someone I'd be interested it. But honestly, I think I need a break from dating for a bit.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I see. Do you ever see yourself getting married or do you prefer to just date?

[Speaker 2] Either way would be fine with me, as long as I can keep travelling. Have you considered travelling to overcome your fear?

[Speaker 1] Definitely, I am always thinking about traveling but it makes me nervous to think about going to countries where I can't speak the language. Have you ever experienced that?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I understand. Nowadays most people speak English so it's not so hard. And if not, hand gestures work pretty well!

[Speaker 1] Okay, I will keep that in mind. After you go to Iceland, do you have your next trip planned?

[Speaker 2] Eventually I want to go to South America! Something about the culture there really attracts me. If you could go anywhere and weren't nervous, where would you go?

[Speaker 1] I would really like to go to Southern France, along the French Riviera. I am taking an online course to help me learn French.

[Speaker 2] Wow, that would be beautiful! You should definitely do it. How is your progress with French?

[Speaker 1] That sounds wonderful! Maybe I will take my children there too

[Speaker 2] Do you let your kids play on the playground? I do that. It is fun!

[Speaker 1] Yes, my dogs like to play with them on the playground.

[Speaker 2] That's so cool! Mr morris, my third grade teacher, we have a class dog!

[Speaker 1] That sounds amazing! I thought about becoming a teacher. I settled for it work.

[Speaker 2] When I grow up, I want to sing the songs that I love from frozen.

[Speaker 1] Why not sing them now? Time passes quickly.

[Speaker 2] I want to be famous, like mickey mouse. He's my favorite. I love disney!

[Speaker 1] I live near disney world in florida, in fact I own a house there.

[Speaker 2] I'm not in karate! I think you might be thinking of another kid. I don't like karate. My older brother is in karate though.

[Speaker 1] Ah my apologies! Have you seen Frozen 2 yet?

[Speaker 2] Yes!!! I think it is as exciting as Frozen. But the songs in frozen are better. My favorite is do you want to build a snowman. But I know you don't like Disney that much.

[Speaker 1] Yeah unfortunately I am somewhat unfamiliar with the movie but my children are obsessed with it! I really need to take them to Disney world as soon as possible!

[Speaker 2] I am looking forward to our family's trip this summer soooooo much! Maybe you could talk to my Mom and we could all go together! Your kids would love it.

[Speaker 1] I would love for my children to be able to experience the world of Disney! They would be ecstatic! Thank you for the offer! I look forward to talking about this with your parents!

[Speaker 2] sounds fun. How old are your boy and girl?

I have seen the movie "Frozen". I saw Frozen 2. I love the "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" song.

I'll be taking a family trip to Disney this summer.

[Speaker 1] I watched the Frozen movies with my kids finally -- they're really entertaining!

[Speaker 2] I love the Frozen movies, they so good. Did your son and daughter like them too?

[Speaker 1] Yes, remember? They're the ones who finally got me to watch it, lol! Now I'm even more convinced I should go to Disney World with them...

[Speaker 2] Disney world is so much fun. I you should absolutely go. They have the best rollercoasters, and you get to meet Micky Mouse and he'll take pictures with you. Who's your favorite disney character?

[Speaker 1] That little snowman was cute. My son really likes him, but my daughter is obsessed with Elsa. She would love to take pictures with her, I bet!

[Speaker 2] Olaf is adorable, I like him too. Is your daughter in kindergarten yet, does she like school?

[Speaker 1] She starts later this year. I hope she'll like school. There will be other kids really into Frozen like her, I bet. And now I can finally understand what they're talking about lol

[Speaker 2] I'm sure she'll like school. Ms. Smith was my kindergarten teacher, she's really nice. There is a after school club with a t-ball team. My brother and I like to play t-ball, maybe you're kids will play when they start going to school.

I have dogs.

I am not a teacher.

I have two children, a four-year-old son and a five-year-old daughter. My daughter is going into kindergarten. My kids are my pride and joy. I am an only child.

I love the movie "Frozen". I saw Frozen 2. I love the "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" song. I like Olaf.

I have two brothers and a sister. My siblings are nine, six and five years old. My older brother takes karate. I don't like karate. I like to play t-ball.

[Speaker 1] I booked a trip to Disney World at Christmas.

[Speaker 2] Oh my goodness, that is so exciting! I am envious. Have you told your kids?

[Speaker 1] No i want to surprise them with it. They will so love the surprise. What are your plans for Christmas ?

[Speaker 2] That will be the best surprise ever! What are you most excited about? I think my family will go skiing this Christmas.

[Speaker 1] Family Skiing is fun. I am most excited about spending this Christmas with my family and friends in Disney world

[Speaker 2] Yes, that will be so much fun. I think they do a really cool Christmas parade and other Christmas activities there. I have not experience that as I usually go in the summer.

[Speaker 1] Okay. Have you ever wondered what it will be like going there during winter ?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I have. I would love to go during the winter, and it also may not be as hot. It can get way too hot in the summer and you cannot fully enjoy going on the rides, because all you want to do is go back to the hotel pool to swim!

[Speaker 1] Okay. Apart from Skiing do you have a family dinner during Christmas?

[Speaker 2] Yes, we usually have a turkey and a ham, with all the fixings! How about your family, what are your Christmas traditions?

[Speaker 1] My parents and my wife parents come together to have a large family dinner with exchange of gifts.

[Speaker 2] That is wonderful that both sides of the family get along like that. I have to visit my grandparents separately.

I have dogs.

I am not a teacher.

My children love the Frozen movie. I booked a trip to Disney World at Christmas. I want to surprise them with the trip.

For Christmas, I celebrate with my parents and my wife. We have a big dinner and exchange gifts.

My family will go skiing this Christmas. At Christmas dinner, we usually have a turkey and a ham with all the fixings.

I have to visit my grandparents separately because they don't get along.

[Speaker 1] Why don't your grandparents get along?

[Speaker 2] My grandparents don't get along because they recently went through a divorce. Have you been through a divorce?

[Speaker 1] Sorry to hear that. No, I've never been through a divorce and hope I never do. Its really cool you get to go to Disney each year. Do either of your grandparents ever go with you?

[Speaker 2] My grandparents don't go with me because they're old and Disney is a lot of walking. That's exciting that you're surprising them. What are your kids names?

[Speaker 1] My son is Davey and my daughter is Dannielle. They will be very excited to go to Disney. It'll be a huge surprise for them.

[Speaker 2] Do they like to play sports? I like to play t-ball.

[Speaker 1] They haven't started sports yet. I want to sign my son up for T-ball when he's five. How old were you when you started?

[Speaker 2] I started when I was five. I hope your son loves it as much as I do.

[Speaker 1] That sounds encouraging. Wow, its gonna be a busy year between Disney and the t-ball, but I think my kids will love the experience.

[Speaker 2] I hope they do! The food there is delicious and if you're going around Christmas time, the lights will be beautiful.

[Speaker 1] Which park would you recommend we go to first?

[Speaker 2] I would go to the one by the Cinderella castle first. It has a lot of things for your kids to play on. Do they like climbing? There are wall climbing things at that park.

I'm a librarian.
I am 60years old.
I've visited spain a times.
I think I'll retire in a few years.

I don't know my biological in laws.

I reside in the country surrounded by farmland.

I have a pet canine that looks like a police canine.

I like to meditate with art.

I work in the public sector.
I have lived a long life.
I enjoy traveling in europe.
I am almost done with working.

[Speaker 1] What do you like to do?

[Speaker 2] Visit spain in my free time when not working as a librarian. You?

[Speaker 1] Small world! My husband who is adopted is orginally from spain!

[Speaker 2] How wonderful! I may move there in a few years when I retire.

[Speaker 1] That would be great. As a librarian, do you like adult coloring books? I love those!

[Speaker 2] Yes! I'm in a group for planning and stickers which seems silly at 60.

[Speaker 1] Fun! I love the coloring books but they often get nibbled on by my german shepherd!

[Speaker 2] Aw! What else do you like to do?

[Speaker 1] We live on a farm. Being in a rural community means we work hard then relax!

[Speaker 2] I love it! We have an old farmhouse but only have cats.

[Speaker 1] My dog would enjoy your cats. He is old and too tired to chase anymore.

[Speaker 2] He sounds like a sweetheart.

[Speaker 1] Yes and he loves being on the farm. What else do you enjoy?

[Speaker 2] Watching the grand kids grow up, hot teas, holidays. You name it!

[Speaker 1] That sounds perfect and so relaxing!

[Speaker 2] It is! I love this life.

My husband is from Spain. My husband was adopted.

I love adult coloring books.

I have an old german shephard. My german shephard nibbles on my coloring books. My dog likes cats. My dog loves the farm.

I live on a farm in a rural community. I work hard and then relax.

I have an old farm house. I have cats.

I enjoy watching the grandkids grow up. I enjoy hot tea. I enjoy the holidays.I love my life.

[Speaker 1] How old are your grandkids?

[Speaker 2] One is 5 and one is 3

[Speaker 1] Awww, that is such a fun age. Have you taken them to the zoo recently?

[Speaker 2] We have actually never gone to the zoo before. We spend a lot more time in house than out. We love to color and do all kinds of crafts.

[Speaker 1] I am finding a lot of fun things to do online. I feel that is the best teaching as well since it can be fun and educational all at once.

[Speaker 2] It has been hard for me to get into the internet. You can call me pretty old school. Since i am a librarian, i really have a deep value for books. However, my grandson, the 5 year old, is teaching me a lot of things via his tablet. It really can be quite educational, and a lot of information very quickly.

[Speaker 1] I do not understand how little ones knows so much about technology. I keep hearing that kids are the ones teaching the older generation and I have yet to see it to believe it.

[Speaker 2] Oh yes! Believe me, i would know nothing about the internet if it were not for my grandson! I usually sit down with a cup of tea and relax next to the grandkids, while they either play on their tablet or teach me how to use it. I definitely did not have anything like it while i was growing up.

[Speaker 1] I agree. I was lucky if it was my turn in school to even use the computer that day. And living on a farm also limits the amount of internet time I get. The other day we had a storm and I had no internet for weeks.

[Speaker 2] Wow! That must have been so difficult to handle. I am used to no internet, however, i think my kids and especially my grandkids would go crazy if they didnt have it for even a couple hours.

[Speaker 1] haha I know! Some of us have been so dependent on internet that once everything is gone we do not know what to do with ourselves. Or at times I have heard of people taking it away as a form of punishment.

[Speaker 2] Yes! That is defintely what my daughter does to my grandkids! They really listen then!

I love adult coloring books.

I work hard and then relax.

I think the internet is the best way to teach because it's fun and educational.

I live on a farm in a rural community. I have limited internet connectivity. The weather sometimes damages my connection.

I have an old farm house. I have cats.

I enjoy the holidays. I love my life.

I have 5 and 3-year-old grandchildren. My grandchildren and I like to spend time indoors coloring and crafting.

I am not very comfortable with the internet. I'm learning the web from my grandson. I have a deep connection with books. I don't mind when I have no internet access.

I like to drink tea.

My daughter punishes my grandkids by taking away their internet.

[Speaker 1] So have you read anything interesting lately that you would recommend?

[Speaker 2] I actually just finished reading a book called Killing Caleb it had so many twist and turns in it, was a incredible story to read.

[Speaker 1] I'll have to put it on my list! What is it about, generally speaking?

[Speaker 2] A man gets sent to a mental ward and has to prove he isnt crazy.

[Speaker 1] That does sound enticing! I haven't read much in the way of literature. How would you suggest I get started?

[Speaker 2] It has a very good story line, i would defiantly recommend it. Honestly i would just start of with a smaller book of the genre you like to read and go from there.

[Speaker 1] What's your absolute favorite genre to read? I feel like you've read just about everything, being a librarian haha!

[Speaker 2] Honestly anything genre as long as it contains some drama, nothing beats a good drama story.

[Speaker 1] I'm guessing you've pushed pretty hard for your grandkids to get into reading?

[Speaker 2] Yes i started reading to them very young, a few of them love to read now so i will take that as a win.

[Speaker 1] That's wonderful to hear! You must be so proud of them!

[Speaker 2] Yes very proud they are a bunch of great kids. How is living on your farm going?

I love adult coloring books.

I work hard and then relax.

I haven't read much literature.

I have an old farm house. I have cats.

I enjoy the holidays. I love my life.

I like to drink tea.

I just finished reading Killing Caleb. I like to read all genres. I like a story with some drama. I have been reading to my grandchildren since they were young. I am proud of my grandchildren.

[Speaker 1] I've been looking for books that take place on a farm, might as well start reading about something I know!

[Speaker 2] Great idea! I love steering people toward books they will enjoy! Have you read any james herriot? He was a vet surgeon and has some very interesting stuff

[Speaker 1] I don't think I have. But that sounds really interesting. Does he right fiction or non-fiction? What are his books about?

[Speaker 2] He writes non-fiction. One is "All Creatures Great and Small". They are about his life as a veterinary surgeon with all kinds of animals. What do you like most about living on a farm?

[Speaker 1] I'll put that on my books to read. That will be right in my wheel-house. I really enjoy being able to go out a accomplish something everyday and actually see what I have accomplished. I get to work hard and when the job is done relax and enjoy the beautiful country I live in.

[Speaker 2] That sounds wonderful! I am looking forward to retiring in a few years and enjoying the scenery everywhere I go. It makes me reflect on life and serving the community. You must put a lot of effort into your work.

[Speaker 1] It is tough work but it is rewarding. If you retire in Spain do you think you will live in the country or live somewhere in the city?

[Speaker 2] I will keep my farmhouse and live there primarily. I would also like a vacation home but don't want to be too far from my grandchildren, so I haven't decided exactly where that will be yet.

[Speaker 1] Sounds like an ideal retirement! Family is important If I had grandchild I don't think I would want to move away from them either. How far do they live away from you now?

[Speaker 2] They only live 30 minutes away right now so I get to see them often. I travel to visit them as often as I can. They are the light of my life!

[Speaker 1] I hear being a grandparent takes the best parts of being a parent without the downside is that true? 30 mins isn't too bad at all.

[Speaker 2] Yes it absolutely does. I was a stressed out mother, but I am a very calm and caring grandmother. I feel like I can correct all my mistakes now!

I love adult coloring books.

I work hard and then relax. I enjoy farm work.

I haven't read much literature. I have not read any books by James Harriot.

I do not have grandchildren.

I am a librarian. When I'm not working I go to Spain. I retire in a few years. I may move to Spain. I own a farmhouse in Spain.

I love adult coloring books. I'm in a group for planning and stickers. I am 60. I am female.

I have an old farm house. I have cats.

I enjoy the holidays. I love my life.

I like to drink tea.

I just finished reading Killing Caleb. I like to read all genres. I like a story with some drama. I like books by James Herriot.

I have been reading to my grandchildren since they were young. I am proud of my grandchildren. I live within driving distance of my grandchildren.

[Speaker 1] I started reading the book you recommended, "All Creatures Great and Small." I love it!

[Speaker 2] What was your favorite part of the book?

[Speaker 1] I really like the love story. What was your favorite part?

[Speaker 2] I love how it talks a lot about animals, I love animals.

[Speaker 1] I do too. I really like taking pictures of wildlife. I need to get a good camera some day

[Speaker 2] Have you ever taken a trip anywhere to do wildlife photography?

[Speaker 1] No, I really want to. Any suggestions on a good place to go?

[Speaker 2] If you can afford it, I would recommend an African safari. You won't find better wildlife anywhere else on earth!

[Speaker 1] Oh that does sound like it would be amazing. The only time I've ever been out of the country was to Canada. Have you ever traveled anywhere?

[Speaker 2] I went to Europe one summer. It was delightful to visit Paris and Rome.

[Speaker 1] I've always wanted to go to Rome and see the Collisseum

[Speaker 2] Rome is a spectacular city, I promise you would not be disappointed if you go.


I play with my friends on the playground.

I love to go to disney world every year.

Mickey mouse is my favorite character.

I'm in the third grade.

I have solar panels on my roof.

I buy only organic food products.

I spend a lot of time browsing the internet.

I love social medial especially twitter.

I am a feminist.

I like to use the swings and monkey bars.

I enjoy theme parks for vacation annually.

Pluto is great, but I like another individual better.

I'm in elementary school.

My house is heated by the sun.

I love chemical free carrots.

I surf the web many hours a day.

I really enjoy checking in with many friends.

I believe strongly in the power of women.

[Speaker 1] Do you want to go the the playground with me?

[Speaker 2] Hi! Just finished my mega dose of twitter today. How about you?

[Speaker 1] My parents won't let me on twitter. Maybe when I am in 5th grade.

[Speaker 2] No can do on the playground. Too busy surfing the net all the time!

[Speaker 1] You surf? What a cool kid. I want to surf with mickey mouse.

[Speaker 2] Are you male or female? Women rule the world, you know!

[Speaker 1] Yay! I am a girl. Will you go to disney world with me?

[Speaker 2] No mickey mouse here he's a he! Besides, gotta pay for my solar panels.

[Speaker 1] Are the panels on your house?

[Speaker 2] Roof. Make sure at disney you only eat organic. That's the way to go!

[Speaker 1] When I'm old enough to shop for myself, I'll.

[Speaker 2] Good. Only buy organic, because its good for you.

[Speaker 1] I will remember that. I should get back to the playground now.

[Speaker 2] Have fun! And stay safe out there.

[Speaker 1] I will. You can come if you want to. I have lots of friends.

[Speaker 2] I will think about it. But I have a feminist march to attend later.

My parents won't let me go on twitter.

I'm not old enough to shop for myself.

I have lots of friends.

I have a twitter account.

I don't want to go to the playground. I'm busy surfing the internet all the time.

I think women rule the world. I will be attending a feminist march later.

I don't like Mickey Mouse because he is a boy. I have solar panels on my roof. I'm a fan of organic food.

[Speaker 1] Sorry I didn't make it to the playground. How are you friends. I hope you had fun without me.

[Speaker 2] It's okay, I didn't want to go anyways but my other friends forced me. They're doing good, but I wish they understood that I'd rather spend time online than go to the playground.

[Speaker 1] I wish I could spend more time online! I want to go on Twitter but my parents won't let me. You're lucky that you're allowed!

[Speaker 2] I think it's because my mom wants me to learn about a lot of other people and how the world works. It's on Twitter that we found out about the feminist march happening later. You should ask your parents if you can join!

[Speaker 1] Oh that sounds interesting, but I don't think they will let me go. They won't even let me go shopping by myself.

[Speaker 2] That stinks! I'll have to tell you about it in class on Monday then! Speaking of class, did you finish the homework assignment yet? I really wish we didn't have to write about Disney and Mickey Mouse!

[Speaker 1] I can't wait to hear about it! Yeah I've done the assignment! I love Mickey Mouse so much and I really want to go to Disney World! This assignment has made me want to go even more! Don't you like Disney?

[Speaker 2] No way, Mickey Mouse is boy! Besides, women rule the world, so why waste time writing about some old guy?

[Speaker 1] But Micky Mouse is so cool! I still like him even though I'm a girl. Okay women rule the world but Mickey can join in too! I want to go surfing with him!

[Speaker 2] Well you can go surf with Micky Mouse, and I'll stay on the beach surfing the web. Or maybe I'll go fishing so we can have fresh fish for dinner! Isn't organic food always the yummiest?

[Speaker 1] Alright that's a plan. Eugh, I hate fish and I can't tell whether a food is organic or not. I just want to play with my friends.

[Speaker 2] You can tell food is organic because it tastes fresh and crisp! But if you're not used to it, it can be hard to tell. Maybe at school we can play farmers and grow our own organic food!

My parents won't let me go on twitter.

I want to surf with Micky Mouse. I'm a girl. I want to go to Disney World. I am a student.

I'm not old enough to shop for myself.

I have lots of friends.

I have a twitter account.

I don't like Mickey Mouse because he is a boy. I favor women more than men.

I have a mother. I use Twitter.

I dislike Disney and Mickey Mouse. I am a student.

I like to fish.

[Speaker 1] How was going to the feminist march?

[Speaker 2] It was incredible!!! Such an empowering movement. I'm looking at writing about it for one of feminism in politics classes at school!

[Speaker 1] Oh, that sounds really interesting.  What did y'all actually do at the march?  I have never really gotten to attend any political rallies or marches.

[Speaker 2] We all brought posters addressing issues with women rights and connected with each other on Twitter! It was great to see and the network is so strong

[Speaker 1] Oh man, that sounds really cool. I love making art and posters.  Walt Disney was my favorite animator of all time and really inspires me with his creativity to bring so many characters to life.  What is Twitter like?  My parents are still being bossy and not letting me join

[Speaker 2] ugh that sucks!! I hope you can join when you turn 18. It's let me learn about so many problematic issues. I'm so thankful I'm on it otherwise I would still be eating fast food all the time!!!

[Speaker 1] Uh oh!  I don't know if I am looking forward to joining as much as I thought I was if it means I have to give up fast food..lol.  What did you see on there that made you give up fast food?

[Speaker 2] SOOO many disgusting things about meat quality haha. I promise it's worth it though! I've felt so much healthier since I stopped eating fast food. Organic food needs to be the default though... I hate how easy it is for large companies to decide everything we do

[Speaker 1] Hmm, interesting!  I still can't really decide what to buy or anything, but my parents never buy organic food and I seem to be doing fine.  I guess you don't really know what you're missing if you've never tried it though.

[Speaker 2] Dang, your parents seem quite controlling haha. What else do they decide for you? Agency is so important.

[Speaker 1] Haha, I know but they do love me and care about me.  Well, like for example, I still have a bedtime, can only have 1 hour of screentime a day, and have to ask permission to sleep over at my friends house.  What does agency mean?

[Speaker 2] Agency is when you're able to make your own decisions or when you can learn how to make your own decisions. That's fairly standard. The 1 hour of screentime a day must be hard. How do you use it?

My parents won't let me go on twitter. My parents have a lot of rules for me. My parents love me.

I'm not old enough to shop for myself.

I have lots of friends.

I dislike fish. I do not care if food is organic or not. My family does not buy organic food.

I am artistic.

I have a twitter account.

I have solar panels on my roof. I'm a fan of organic food. I don't eat fast food.

I have a mother. I am a student taking political classes.

I like to fish.

[Speaker 1] I started a conversation today with my parents about Twitter.  I told them that I understand their concerns but that I want to use Twitter to connect with others and learn.  They said I should be more specific about what issues I want to learn about and what kinds of groups I want to connect with on Twitter and then we can discuss it more.

[Speaker 2] I can see their point, but it wouldn't be difficult for you to come up with something. Lots of cultural groups have Twitter accounts you could follow.

[Speaker 1] Yeah that is true, maybe next time I will write down different types of groups I would like to join and if they see it on paper maybe they will feel different.

[Speaker 2] You probably like reading or music or something. You could find a literature group or an author that tweets.

[Speaker 1] Yeah that too. I will ask my friends what there parents allow so I myself can get a better idea. Thanks for the insight.

[Speaker 2] I don't know if you're interested, but there were lots of younger women and girls on the march yesterday. It was great!

[Speaker 1] Maybe I can ask my mom if I can join you at the end of the month for the feminist walk. I think my mom would enjoy doing that too, if that is ok if we tag along.

[Speaker 2] Yes, that would be great. Do you think she would mind that we met online?

[Speaker 1] I never actually thought about that. Maybe I will leave that part out. She will be with me anyway so shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

[Speaker 2] I would love to meet your mother. I'm sure she's a really great person.

[Speaker 1] Other than her style of parenting she is super kind and very goofy. I’m sure you both will get on great.

[Speaker 2] Sometimes it's hard for parents. I get on better now with my parents than I did when I was in my teens.

My parents won't let me go on twitter. There are different types of groups I want to join. My parents have a lot of rules for me. My parents love me. I don't like my mother's style of parenting.

I didn't get along very well with my parents as a teen.

[Speaker 1] I asked my mom about the feminist walk, and she said yes!

[Speaker 2] Awesome! Do you know of any coming up or should I look for one?

[Speaker 1] can you look for one? I'm not sure where to look or if my mom would let me search the internet for it.

[Speaker 2] Sure! No problem. I'll look at some this evening if thats ok!

[Speaker 1] that sounds great! I'm so happy my mom agreed to let me go!

[Speaker 2] I'm happy for you! You'll want to go to another, haha how did you convince your mom to let you go?

[Speaker 1] I just asked. I guess she must just think I'm finally old enough to start attending some rallies.

[Speaker 2] Good deal! It's nice to have parents with an open mind.

[Speaker 1] she is very strict with everything. I'm not allowed to do much at all.

[Speaker 2] Maybe this is the start of her loosening up. But on the flip side I do understand why parents are so protective at times.

[Speaker 1] I don't understand a lot of it. I wish she'd let me have a little more freedom. my friends are allowed to do a lot more.

[Speaker 2] It may seem really strange, but they say its for the best.

[Speaker 2] Lol! I guess you could be. I'm not sure that all would agree though.

[Speaker 1] I cannot let my coworkers find out. They will burn me at the stake.

My boyfriend has a girlfriend. They are judgmental about food.

[Speaker 1] What car is your favorite?

[Speaker 2] My favorite car is Lamborghini. what about you?

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure any more. I have lost interest in cars for the most part. I would love a Tesla though! Which Lamborghini do you like?

[Speaker 2] Tesla is a good car for environmental. I like the aventador however I don't have money for that

[Speaker 1] Not many people do! Being good for the environment is great and all but I just think the technology is the future and I'd like to play with it. But, they are out of my price range.

[Speaker 2] Yes, they are expensive however I know a person which the company help him to buy the Tesla, I don't know which was the company but I think it's very interesting. I think in the future, Tesla will have a better price

[Speaker 1] The Tesla may be slightly more in reach than the Lamborghini, this it true. You get some good tax write off too I'm told. So, you liked Narcos?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I like, what about you?

[Speaker 1] I liked it a lot. Was a history lesson of sorts. I wish there were more of them!

[Speaker 2] Yes, it is good for it. Do you like park?

[Speaker 1] I do. The park is nice because of the lack of traffic. Automobile traffic that is. You can relax and pay less attention. Have a park near you that you frequent?

[Speaker 2] No, there isn't any park near me however I can drive to the closest park, I need a relax moment for myself.

I work for vegetarians and vegans. I eat tofu. I chew meat and then I spit it out.

I punch my sisters cat.

Cars don't interest me that much. I'd like to own a Tesla, though. I can't afford a Tesla, however. I heard the Tesla is a good tax write-off.

I liked the show NARCOS a lot.  I love to binge watch tv. I wish there were more NARCOS episodes. NARCOS is a good history lesson of a show. I think Pablo is beautiful.

I love cars.

I work form home.

I go to the gym with my girlfriends.

I am lazy. I love to binge watch tv.

I love Narcos. Better Call Saul is another favorite. NARCOS is a good way to learn history.

Lamborghini is my favorite kind of car. I love the Lamborghini Aventador. I can't afford a Lamborghini.

I have no park within walking distance. I can drive to a park if I need to.

[Speaker 1] I think I'm going to talk to my tax preparer about the Tesla write-off. Maybe I could afford one after all.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! Tesla's are incredible. They literally have so many apps that are on the car. Do you think you'll get the self-driving upgrade?

[Speaker 1] Interesting!  Do you know what apps are available?  I guess you have a lot of free time for apps when the car is driving itself, lol.  I am def gonna get a self-driving one if I can afford it

[Speaker 2] That'd be super nice! Literally so many apps. I believe there is its own app store, and you can stream content like on Netflix and such. You could watch Narcos!!!

[Speaker 1] Wow, I did not know that you could watch Netflix in a Tesla.  Please don't tell my husband so I can have some alone time with Pablo as I drive, girl.  You been watching anything new lately?

[Speaker 2] Yes!! I'm actually currently watching the handmaid's tale. Season 4 just came out and it is crazy!!! How about you?

[Speaker 1] I have heard so much about that, but haven't started it yet..will have to put on my list.  I have been getting into Silicon Valley lately, but I am just so busy, it's taking me a while to make it through!

[Speaker 2] What's it about? I'd like to watch a few more shows once I'm done with this season.

[Speaker 1] It revolves around a startup tech company in Silicon Valley, kind of like a poor-man's Facebook, Google, etc, but it is well written and has good acting!  How's your relationship going with your boyfriend?

[Speaker 2] It's going great! He's actually going to be spending the next two weeks at my place. How's your husband doing? Do you have any plans with him soon

[Speaker 1] That's great! Does his girlfriend stay with y'all too when he stays at your place? He is doing fine.  We are celebrating our 10 year anniversary soon so looking around for places to go for that

[Speaker 2] Yep! She'll be here too. We're talking about just becoming a throuple. Are you all wanting to travel or just go to a fancy dinner?

I punch my sisters cat.

I have a tax preparer.

I have not start watching Handmaid's Tale. I am busy. I am watching Silicon Valley.

I love cars.

I work form home.

I go to the gym with my girlfriends.

I am lazy. I love to binge watch tv.

I am currently watching Handmaid's tale season 4.

[Speaker 1] I would want to share with you my plans for my 10 year anniversary with my husband.

[Speaker 2] Wow, 10 year anniversary.  Congratulations on that, that is amazing.

[Speaker 1] Yeah it's been a wild ride! I can't wait to get to California! We went there on our honeymoon and are recreating the trip.

[Speaker 2] California is somewhere I have never been too.  I'm sure it is pretty there and would be an amazing place to visit.  Do you have special plans while you are there?

[Speaker 1] I think we will head to Silicon Valley and be on the look out for Teslas. Planning to rent one as our rental car!!

[Speaker 2] Cool car...you can drive the Pacific Coast Highway in that thing!

[Speaker 1] I think we will! We plan to drive up the coast and be on the lookout for good restaurants.

[Speaker 2] So you said your husbands car is blue and that is your favorite color.  Are you going to try and rent a blue Tesla?

[Speaker 1] I don't know if we will be able to choose the color but that would be awesome! How is work going for your this week?

[Speaker 2] Work is work.  Some days are better than others.  I wish I was eleigible for a vacation right now.  I would go on a cruise though.

[Speaker 1] Oh! A cruise would be so nice! Where would you go to?

[Speaker 2] I love the islands...all of them.  I would probably go to Grand Turk and Nassau.

I punch my sisters cat.

I have a tax preparer.

Soon I will have been married to my husband for 10 years. I went to California for my honeymoon. My husband and I are going to California for our 10th anniversary to relive our honeymoon. I plan to look for Teslas in the Silicone Valley while visiting California. I plan to rent a Tesla while in California with my husband. I plan to drive the California coast and look for good restaurants.

I love cars.

I work form home.

I go to the gym with my girlfriends.

I am lazy. I love to binge watch tv.

I have never been to California.

I am not eligible for a vacation from work. I live all the island. I would take a cruise to Grand Turk and Nassau if I could.

[Speaker 1] We could get a killer value on a cruise to Grand Turk if we share a cabin would you want to go?

[Speaker 2] I would love to , but It'll be a long time before I am able to take a vacation from work, I'm afraid.

[Speaker 1] Why won't they let you take time off?

[Speaker 2] I have to work there for a year before I'm eligible for vacation time.  I only have 3 months in so far. Maybe next year?

[Speaker 1] Oh ok that makes sense. Next year would be great. Give us time to save money for the trip.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I'm going to need do that too.  Are you getting along any better with your sister's cat?

[Speaker 1] No. She bit me last time I saw her. My sister agreed to keep her in the other room whenever we visit now. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 2] No, but there is a squirrel in the yard I feed all the time.  I named him Benny.  He loves crumb cake!  I'm not very fond of cats myself.

[Speaker 1] I've always liked dogs more than cats. Squirrels are so cute. That's cool that you have a squirrel friend

[Speaker 2] Yes, and he's pretty funny!  A neighbor's cat chased him up a tree, so he sat up there and dropped acorns on it's head!  I took a video!

[Speaker 1] Oh I bet that was hilarious. Serves that cat right.

[Speaker 2] Yes, it knows not to come around any more!

[Speaker 1] I love the us. You are so lucky to have been born here.

[Speaker 2] I do not take it for granted.

[Speaker 1] My favorite thing? All of the different stores. The freedom.

[Speaker 2] I'm happy for you that you get to enjoy what you deserve.

[Speaker 1] Thank you. Also, the food is amazing. Fries are the best thing ever.

[Speaker 2] Have you tried fries with melted cheese?!

[Speaker 1] Yes, and those with the gravy and cheese crumbles, curds?

[Speaker 2] Comfort food if ever there was one!

I love to dance.

I love to dance and paint.
I am a woman and mother of two.
I was born in America.

[Speaker 1] Have you tried any new ways to eat fries? My might want to try chili cheese fries.

[Speaker 2] No, I haven't tried anything different. I don't like chilli cheese. Tell me after eating it, if you like it

[Speaker 1] I will definitely let you know. Have you been dancing recently?

[Speaker 2] Yes, 5 days a week I dance. What about you?

[Speaker 1] No, I have not done much dancing recently. What is your favorite style of dance?

[Speaker 2] My favorite style of dance is samba. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I think my favorite style is probably the waltz. It's so very fun to watch. Have you ever taken dance classes?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I have because I am not good on dancing. What about you?

[Speaker 1] You dance five days a week and have taken lessons but are not good at dancing?

[Speaker 2] Yes, because I am learning. I am not a professional.

[Speaker 1] You don't have to be a professional to be good at dancing.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I know, but I am not a good dancer, my friends laughed the last time they saw me dancing. Are you goog at dancing?

I love the U.S. I love Freedom.

I love going to stores. I love the food in America. My favorite food is fries. I have tried fries with melted cheese, with gravy and cheese crumbles, curds. I'm thinking about trying chili cheese fries.

I love to dance. I don't dance very often. My favorite type of dance is the waltz.

I love to dance and paint.

I am a mother of two.

I was born in America.

I don't like chili cheese fries.

I go dancing five days a week. I love the samba style of dance. I've taken dance classes. I don't have a lot of dancing skill. I am not a professional dancer. My friends laugh at my dancing.

[Speaker 1] I ordered some chili cheese fries for delivery! They should be here soon.

[Speaker 2] oh i'm sure you would like them. i just had my snack. What else did you order besides chili cheese fries?

[Speaker 1] bacon double cheeseburger with ghost peppers

[Speaker 2] Wow what a meal! I hope you get to exercise after such a heavy meal. How about we dance after your meal?

[Speaker 1] that'd be great!  what's halfway between a samba and a waltz?

[Speaker 2] Haha i wish I knew. Let's just do samba first and then some waltz? Samba just makes me so happy!

[Speaker 1] it's got that upbeat latin swing to it.  and a waltz to slow everything down.  we won't invite your friends so your friends don't laugh ...

[Speaker 2] You know what at this point I don't even care if they laugh or not. I just enjoy dancing. Dance like no one's watching!

[Speaker 1] yeah.  we can dance if we wanna.  we can leave your friends behind.  cause your friends don't dancer and if they don't dance ... we'll take off our hats and dance anyway ...

[Speaker 2] I was also thinking if you would like to join me at my dancing classes? Maybe not five days a week but once or twice? What do you say?

[Speaker 1] mmm, maybe.  is it ballroom dancing or just samba dancing or ... what?

[Speaker 2] Well I do Samba there but they have a variety of dance sessions. Whatever suits your fancy! I think they have waltz sessions in the evening!

I am a mother of two.

I was born in America.

I don't like chili cheese fries.

[Speaker 1] After eating all of that food, I definitely want to start exercising and dancing more!

[Speaker 2] Sounds like a lovely time! Nothing like some music to kick it off!! What's your favorite dance?

[Speaker 1] I like to boogie and waltz. Do you have a favorite dance as well?

[Speaker 2] I don't. I'm currently in a dance class, though. My friends always laugh when I do, so I'm not too great. Haha. What kind of food did you eat?

[Speaker 1] I hate 50 pounds of french fries covered in cheese. I call them frachos. I need get back in shape after that!

[Speaker 2] There's no way you ate that much! You're over exaggerating. That sounds good. Most people like chili on it,  too. I don't like it, though. I do enjoy dipping salty fries into vanilla milkshakes. Just the sweet and salty taste is amazing!

[Speaker 1] I very much enjoy spicy food and cheese curds! I love a good milkshake though! Do you like to dance when you're at a fancy dinner?

[Speaker 2] I sure do! If I'm not too tired I like to finish my night off painting afterwards. That's what I call a good day! I do agree, though; spicy foods are great. I'm just a sucker for milkshakes and smoothies. Haha.

[Speaker 1] I mean, I love fries so much that i really did eat 50 pounds. I want to dance so I can eat more fries. It's all i think about.

[Speaker 2] I think that's my favorite form of potatoes. Potatoes are such an elite food with how many things you can cook with them. Dancing will help burn some calories. You'll have to work it, though!! Ha!

[Speaker 1] I was almost married once, but I arranged to be saved by a man in a french fry suit, and it worked! I'll dance all night thinking about that.

[Speaker 2] A man in a french fry suit. I'm rolling!! HA!! Man of the dreams. LOL

I love the U.S. I love Freedom.

I love going to stores. I love the food in America. My favorite food is fries. I have tried fries with melted cheese, with gravy and cheese crumbles, curds. I enjoy spicy foods with cheese curds. I love a good milkshake.

I love to dance. I don't dance very often. My favorite dances are the boogie and the waltz.

I really ate 50 lbs. of french fries. I love french fries.

I almost got married once. I had a man in a french fry suit save my from my wedding.

I love to dance and paint.

I am a mother of two.

I was born in America.

I go dancing five days a week. I love the samba style of dance. I don't care what people think about it. I take Samba dance classes 5 days a week. My friends don't dance. I don't have a lot of dancing skill. I am not a professional dancer. My friends laugh at my dancing. I don't have any favorite dances.

I don't like chili cheese fries. I like to dip salty fries into a vanilla milkshake.  I think spicy food is great. I am a sucker for milkshakes and smoothies. My favorite kind of potato is french fries.

I enjoy dancing at a fancy dinner. I enjoy ending my nights painting if I am not too tired.

[Speaker 1] May be you should try dance painting even add your kids footprints I bet they would sell.

[Speaker 2] That's such a great idea! I'm sure my kids would love that. I'm always looking for ways to spend more time with them, and I would love to get them in to dancing as well.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a good way to go about it then!  What else have you painted lately?

[Speaker 2] I mainly paint to relax, so I have been doing a lot of landscapes lately. I've been thinking about going on some hikes to get more inspired.

[Speaker 1] I don't go on hikes very often.  It's hard to cook french fries on the trail.  Maybe I'd find some interesting things in nature to try with them though, so maybe I should give it a try.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, they would be pretty hard to fry on a campfire. Maybe you could pick some mushrooms, truffles, or something else to pair with them though. I've never tried truffles, but I know that everybody loves them.

[Speaker 1] I might try that. I need the excercise.  Lately, after being inspired by your idea of dipping them in milkshakes, I've been trying to find combos to make dessert fries. Because after I finish dinner, I always want more fries.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a super fun time! Have you come up with any dessert fry ideas yet? Maybe something like a funnel cake but the dough is French fries.

[Speaker 1] Now that is a very good idea!  You always give me inspiration.  So far I've tried them with strawberries, bananas, whipped cream, coconuts and chocolate sauce.

[Speaker 2] Ooh, that sounds fantastic! I'm gonna have to start dancing and hiking more just to burn off all these calories, but that will just end up being inspiration for more paintings. It's a win win!

[Speaker 1] Yes!  It's a never ending circle of greatness! I need to concentrate more on the dancing part I think.

[Speaker 2] The dancing part becomes so much easier when you just let yourself go. Just move however feels right with the music, and it can be an amazing way to express yourself.


I ache all over.

I am not an honest person.

[Speaker 1] Do you and your dad get along?

[Speaker 2] We get along really well, actually. I live with my Mom and Dad and Dad and I are training to run a marathon together this Summer. How long has your dad been a farmer?

[Speaker 1] He has been farming his entire life. He grew up on a farm and I did also. Good luck to you and your dad in the marathon!

[Speaker 2] Thank you! I might need it. I always listen to music while I run. We should go to a rock concert sometime, that's my favorite. There's a venue near your farm, if you want to go sometime.

[Speaker 1] You are welcome! I have never ran a marathon. I love rock music and I get that from my dad also. We always listen to the great classic rock songs when we are farming. I would like to attend a concert with you anytime something is near enough for both of us to attend!

[Speaker 2] Have you ever gotten hurt from riding horses? I can always help you with training, I want to get better so I can be a physical therapist for athletes like my Dad one day.

[Speaker 1] Yes. I have been thrown a few times and only suffered minor injuries. I have had all the training I need, but Thank you! I've been riding horses before I could walk. I have a Bachelors degree in Biology and could also help you if the need ever arose.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow! I love Biology. It's great to know how natural systems work. From running marathons to farming to riding horses, it's essential. Do you sell your crops mostly, or do you donate some of your food to the needy?

[Speaker 1] We sell and donate our crops. We sell first and then we let anyone in the community or anyone come and harvest what they need for free. My Biology degree is helpful sometimes for the farming, but I have just alwats been drawn to the sciences and what makes thi

[Speaker 2] What a rewarding and peaceful life! I am excited to graduate so that I can finally find something as fulfilling. I never even see fields here, just running tracks, parking lots, and sidewalks. We will have to go to that outdoor concert venue soon!

[Speaker 1] I look forward to hearing about your graduation. How many semesters do you have left? Farming is a peaceful and rewarding environment. It feels good to know you are helping people to eat! You will have to visit our farm when we go see the concert together. I would like to show you around the farm and show you how things work. Let's make a date soon.

[Speaker 2] I have three semesters left and then college for physcial therapy. I would love to learn what foods are healthiest and get some advice on nutritional facts since I am going into physical therapy/training. I have Spring break in two weeks. I'd love to come see the farm,if you're free!

I love rock music. My dad loves rock music, too. My dad and I listen to classic rock while we work on the farm.

We both sell and donate the crops we grow. My Biology degree helps with my farming. I've always been drawn to science.

I still live with my folks.  I live in an urban area. I'm in the 10th grade.  I have great grades. I study biology.

I listen to music while I do homework. I love rock concerts.

I want to train people.

I want to be a physical therapist someday. I want to help athletes, the injured or disabled

I enjoy the subject of Biology. I like to understand natural systems. I'm looking forward to graduating. I have three semesters left in school. In college I will study physical therapy. I want to learn about nutrition. In two weeks, I have Spring break.

[Speaker 1] So what are you planning to do for your Spring Break?

[Speaker 2] Most definitely keep training for the marathon with my dad... Whats it like being a farmer?

[Speaker 1] Just like i told you before it's a peaceful life. Except when you fall off from a horse and injure yourself

[Speaker 2] Oh dear, that sounds like it hurts... aaarrgghh. But I guess you must've gotten used to everything about it. Do you have a favorite subject in Biology? Because I do... Genetics!

[Speaker 1] My favorite ?  Isn't it obvious it's botany. Thats how i know the nutritional values of the crops we grow. and that's how i stay healthy.

[Speaker 2] Haha! Yeah quite obvious. Lol, can I assume you're vegetarian too?

[Speaker 1] Yup i'm a vegetarian. I do love my veggies in the morning

[Speaker 2] I feel like a psychic now for making that right guess.

I've been thrown from horses and suffered minor injuries. I've been riding horses my whole life. I have a bachelors degree in Biology. I like botany.

I am a vegetarian.

I want to train people.

I enjoy the subject of Biology. I like the subject of genetics. I like to understand natural systems. I'm looking forward to graduating. I have three semesters left in school. In college I will study physical therapy. I want to learn about nutrition. In two weeks, I have Spring break.

[Speaker 1] I've been helping out more on the farm this week.

[Speaker 2] Wow! How has that been? What kind of vegetables or fruits are you planting right now?

[Speaker 1] We have tomato, corn, wheat, watermelon, potato, etc. We have little bit of everything. We own quite a  chunk of land and it can take quite a while to care for. Have you been interested in agriculture before?

[Speaker 2] That's impressive! I haven't thought about agriculture in depth before. I am interested in biology though, but more on the natural systems and genetics topics. When I go to college, i want to study physical therapy, but i could change my mind. What was your favorite class in college.

[Speaker 1] My favorite is biology, but the biology I study is for the crops. I study the photosynthesis process. Is there anything new you've learned recently in your class?

[Speaker 2] What a coincidence! We just learned about plant biology and went over the photosynthesis process. Do you also have animals on your farm?

[Speaker 1] We have milk cows, pigs, and horses. I've been flung off of a few with only a minor concussion. I wouldn't give it up for anything, though. I love the way it feels and the wind in my hair. Are there any activities you participate in that give you a sense of a freeing feeling?

[Speaker 2] That must have been painful. I hope that doesn't happen too often. Concussions are dangerous! I love running. It gives me this feeling that I don't have to worry about anything in the moment. That's why my dad and I are training for a marathon.

[Speaker 1] That's sounds exhausting. I've never been a huge fan of running. I never understood the whole runner's high thing. How do you do it? Lol

[Speaker 2] Honestly, you just start somewhere and go for as long as you can! I love the feeling of accomplishment when I've completed a good long run. Do you feel a sense of accomplishment when you have a good crop season?

[Speaker 1] I feel a sense of accomplishment when I get to donate the extra crop we have. I love helping people. It's hard and honest work. I love my community.

[Speaker 2] That's so nice. I should look into opportunities to give to my community. I thin k it would look good on my college applications. Did you volunteer in high school?

I work in the fields with my dad. We grow food to help people. I'm a farmer. My dad is a lifelong farmer. I grew up on a farm, too. I live on a lot of land.

I am a vegetarian. I have a garden that we grow tomato, corn, wheat, watermelon, potato, etc. I like biology.  I like to learn about plants and photosynthesis.

I have animals on the farm- pigs, cows and horses.

I am not a fan of running.

I donate extra crops to others.  I like to help people.  I love the community where I live.

I want to train people.

I live with my mom and dad. I get along very well with my dad. We are training to run in a marathon over the summer. I like listening to music while I run. I like to take long runs.

I do not know much about agriculture. I want to go to college for physical therapy. I take biology and have learned about plants and photosynthesis.

I like to help others. I plan on attending college.

[Speaker 1] how is your marathon training going with your dad?

[Speaker 2] It's going great. It's almost time for the marathon and my stamina has really improved.

[Speaker 1] Have you thought about what you are going to do during your spring break? Or you do just plan to spend most of your time training?

[Speaker 2] Yes. I'm thinking about going to Daytona Beach. One of my close friends lives down there and I'd probably stay with her.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like it will be nice!  And you can still get some running in along the beach! I understand the sand is pretty hard packed there.

[Speaker 2] Yes. I've been there once before and had a blast! Have you been doing a lot of farming?

[Speaker 1] Yes, life on the farm is always long hours and busy.  I love it though.  At night I am usually so tired, I just listen to music on the porch and look at the stars.

[Speaker 2] That sounds awesome. I love to go up on the roof and look at the stars. I wish I lived in the country and could lie on the grass under the trees instead of the city.

[Speaker 1] Well, come to visit sometime.  We'll put you to work! haha It may not be running, but it certainly is a lot of excercise!

[Speaker 2] I'd love to visit. I need a break from the city! It's so loud all the time. I love biology but I'd love to actually get into the fields and do some work. Then we could chill on the porch.

[Speaker 1] Yes. And the sky in the country is so much different from the sky in the city. You would love it!  I missed it so much when I was in college.

[Speaker 2] I bet! I bet you can see a million stars! I love to try to find the constellations. Here it's not so clear at night.


I donate my time to helping those who are less fortunate.

I am a wwe superstar.

I help out for free whenever I can.

I got to the gym all the time.

I'm social with others.

I'm a middle aged man.

I spend my day talking to people.

My spouse has an extreme shopping habit.

I treasure my free time.

I'm so unhappy in my marriage.

[Speaker 1] Hello there, how are you?

[Speaker 2] Healthy for a 40 year old car salesman.

[Speaker 1] That is interesting as I am a pro wrestler

[Speaker 2] Wrestler! Wow you must be fit and healthy.

[Speaker 1] I workout a few times every week

[Speaker 2] Financially, I can not afford a gym. The money gets spent by my wife.

[Speaker 1] I know the struggle, I volunteer at a homeless shelter

[Speaker 2] Great, I hope you don't get to see me there.

[Speaker 1] I hope not either, would not wish it on my worse enemy

[Speaker 2] Between wife, job with no money, I am thinking now of divorce.

[Speaker 1] I've given it a few thoughts before

[Speaker 2] Do you give demonstrations of your skills?

[Speaker 1] Of course, I love doing demonstrations in public

[Speaker 2] Wrestlers and actors are in same category, I think.
