"After thinking about your confidence about your hair, I've decided that I'm going to dye my hair red. How did you dye your hair?",
"I dyed my hair with henna actually! They make great hennas for red hair and henna is actually very good for your hair.",
"Thanks for the tip! I'd dye my hair blue like yours, but I'm old. I already have blue hair! ",
"Maybe you can do a semi permanent dye and have a little fun with your grandkids, if they'd be allowed of course.",
"That's a great idea! If I died it purple for a while, i bet my grandkids would be shocked! I'd like to see their faces!",
"I think it would be a lot of fun to embrace a new hair color.",
"yeah, anything but grey! Getting old is no fun. Be glad you are still young!",
"I love grey hair though, I'm thinking of dying it a nice cool shade of grey one day!",
"One day nature will do it for you! lol Does your new dress match your hair?",
"Yes! My dress is also blue, but not quite the same shade. More like a turquoise. ",
"Turquoise is my favorite color! Is your new car turquoise too?",
"I wish, it's just a boring black color. I just got my first new car, I've been driving pre owned cars before."

"I think that color will look great on you. which grandkids are doing your hair ",
"Thanks. My youngest! I am bit nervous, but it's only hair, right?",
"thats true, I had a friend that let someone do their hair red and it ended up being a little too red, but they made the person's day. does your grandkid do hair for a living or is just a hobby. ",
"She wants to get into it as a profession, so I am just the guinnea pig. What kind of car did you end up buying? That's always a tough decision.",
"we got a VW Tiguan and it's a nice red color. The deal was too good to pass especially since i hear car prices will be going up soon ",
"That sounds like a quality car - is it good on gas? That's what I am worried about these days.",
"it's okay, not terrible but not great. but i don't drive enough to notice, probably fill it up once a month ",
"That makes sense. Are you dying your hair again anytime soon?",
"I might touch it up for the summer months, that sun and the pool takes the color away pretty quickly. being a librarian, do you have any book recommendations for a day visit at the beach? ",
"I do - it's called Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter. It's so good and a very quick read. It's kinda about Hollywood and actors/actresses.",

"Well, my hair has been dyed!",
"How did it come out? I bet your grandkids were thrilled.lol",
"Oh my youngest did so good! You can tell that being a cosmetologist is her passion, she was an absolute natural with keeping my nerves at bay.",
"At least it's less permanent than a drastic hair cut would be. You've got extra flavor now. Did you stick with just a streak or did you go bigger?",
"We decided to do a streak on each side, for balance. And they're not just out in the open but under a layer of hair, so it pops out when I wear a ponytail. My granddaughter suggested that, how creative!",
"It's awesome she gets to practice on you. She'll have a leg up at cosmetology school. What does she plan to go?",
"The dream is to start her own salon, but she's also thinking of moving to a big city and trying for one of the fancy places that celebrities go to. She loves hair, but she's also got a talent for makeup.",
"It's a good idea these days to go into business for yourself and not be a slave to a larger company. How old is she now?",
"She's 14, so still has a few years to go. It's wild to think that she's my youngest but already getting to be so big.",
"Yeah, my oldest nephew is about to turn 14 and I don't know where the time went. He looks like a little man now. I miss the baby stage.",
"I do miss the chubby cheeks... Not the crying though, lol. Have you started packing for your trip?",
"Absolutely not. I insist on doing everything at the last minute. I work better that way but I always get it done.lol"

"I forgot to ask if you've purchased your plane tickets yet?",

"No, I have never been to Costa Rica, but it sounds like it will be very educational as well as relaxing. I have been to Canada a few times and also Mexico. How long do you plan to stay?",
"I will be there for 2 weeks. I am really looking forward to both relaxing and learning about the culture! How are you? Have you read any good books lately?",
"I enjoy historical fiction as well as nonfiction. I really enjoy learning about early American history. I enjoyed reading \"The Gettysburg Campaign\"'",
"That sounds interesting. What is it about? I'm not really into history.",
"It was about strategy and it was so different than modern military strategy. Back then opposing sides actually had manners and would sometimes mutually agree to stop fighting so that they could take a break. How is your nephew doing? ",
"He's doing well! He just finished theatre camp and he's fighting with my sister because he wants to dye his hair green hahaha.",
"Young people today really have different values than our generation had. Acting sounds like it would be personally rewarding. I also like the arts. I play guitar and piano. You mentioned that you have a poll. That sounds refreshing in the hot weather.",
"Yes it's great, but it hasn't stopped raining here! How's the weather where you are?",
"Sorry for the typo. I meant \"pool\". Weather here is very hot and humid. It is miserable if you don't have air conditioning. Pollen count is also very high, so the air quality is poor. ",
"Haha I knew what you meant! Well that's a shame, I guess you have to spend a lot of time inside."

Speaker A: How's the weather treating you now? Still caught in the rain?
Speaker B: Thankfully not, the weather has been beautiful lately. A lot of time is being spent by the pool.
Speaker A: That sounds delightful! Has the air quality improved in your area?
Speaker B: Yes, it's gotten a lot better. No more high pollen counts. How about where you are? Still hot and humid?
Speaker A: Yes, still the same. I've been spending a lot of time indoors. Been brushing up on my guitar and piano skills.
Speaker B: That's nice! I wish I knew how to play an instrument. I've been thinking about picking up one.
Speaker A: Oh, that's interesting. Any particular instrument you're considering?
Speaker B: I'm thinking of starting with the guitar. Seems like a good first instrument.
Speaker A: That's a great choice! I can offer some tips if you'd like. So any updates about your trip to Costa Rica?
Speaker B: Oh, it was fantastic! The culture, the food, everything, it was an experience of a lifetime. I can't wait to plan my next trip.
Speaker A: That's wonderful! It's always enriching to learn about different cultures, isn't it? By the way, didn't your nephew decide to join a soccer camp instead of theatre camp?

Speaker A: How's your nephew doing? Did he ever convince your sister to let him dye his hair green?
Speaker B: Oh, you wouldn't believe it! He actually did. Now he's walking around with bright green hair and loving every second of it.
Speaker A: That's hilarious! Youngsters certainly know how to express themselves. Has the weather improved your way?
Speaker B: Yes, thankfully the rain has stopped, and we've been able to enjoy the pool. What about where you are, still hot and humid?
Speaker A: Yes, still pretty uncomfortable, but I've been keeping myself busy indoors with some music.
Speaker B: Oh, that's right, you play the guitar and piano, don't you? That sounds like a great way to pass the time.
Speaker A: Yes, it's a great stress reliever. Speaking of stress relievers, have you gotten a chance to read any interesting books lately?
Speaker B: I tried reading a historical fiction novel, but I couldn't get into it. I guess history just isn't for me!
Speaker A: Well, to each their own! There are plenty of other genres to explore.
Speaker B: True. I think I'll stick to thrillers and mysteries for now. By the way, I remember you mentioning you've travelled quite a bit.
Speaker A: Yes, I have been to a few places.

"Ha! Well said. I imagine you'll be seeing a lot of tropical fish. Don't get so mesmerized that thecruise ship leaves you behind!",

"So maybe you overthought and someday you will learn how to swim?",
"Maybe you could teach me. Have you ever been to the carribean before?",
"I could teach you! and the Carribean is my next trip. It might help if we put on some punk music before we get in the pool.",
"Before during and after! I won't debate you on that. How are you liking this new job? I've always wanted to learn programming.",
"It is a bit tedious and repetitive, but rewarding when the job is complete. Swimming helps me relax because it is a bit stressful at times.",
"I can imagine. I eat pizzaburgers when Im stressed and I'm stressed a lot. Thats Why I'm thinking I cou;ld learn how to swim now. I'm pretty buoyant if you know what I mean",
"haha. Bouyant is a good thing. It will help you float on your back. How about I teach you programming too? For ever hour in water, and hour of training for progrramming?",
"And punk music!!! I've always wanteed to eat a pizza burger in a pool\\",
"Pizzaburgers, Punk music Programming and some swim time! Its a deal.",
"apt-get https://github.com etc. Oh ive been practicing programming already. I was typing in the wrong window",

"I will! Is there a city you like to visit nearby while cruising in your car?",
"Yes, there are several. Hope we could meet and You possibly teach me about computer programming.",
"That would be great too. I like to program in several different languages. Do you have a preference?",
"No, I'm just getting started so I don't have a preference. Maybe you could show me what you prefer and we could start there.",

Speaker A: Hey, you remember our last meetup, right? The one with the punk music playlist and the pool?
Speaker B: How could I forget that? It was so much fun, especially when you tried teaching me how to swim.
Speaker A: Yeah, you were a fast learner! You know, I've been thinking about planning another meetup sometime soon.
Speaker B: That would be great! Maybe this time we could focus more on the programming part.
Speaker A: Sure, we could do that. We can dive deeper into html and css. Or if you want, we could also explore some new programming languages.
Speaker B: I'm open to learning anything new. It was so helpful last time when we started with html and css.
Speaker A: Great! I'll start planning then. Should we stick to the pizzaburgers or you want to try something different this time?
Speaker B: Pizzaburgers sound good to me. It's like our little tradition now, isn't it?
Speaker A: Yeah, it is. I'll make sure to order them. By the way, I remember you mentioning something about your interest in traveling during our last meetup.
Speaker B: Yes, I did. I've always wanted to travel and see different parts of the world.
Speaker A: "Hey, I remember you mentioning that you've traveled outside the US before. Where did you go exactly?"

"I just had my first day in my new job computer programming! I was really nervous for my first day, but everyone was welcoming! Plus, there's a pizza place around the corner. Score!",
"Does the place sell pizzaburgers? That would be the real score.",
"THAT is a good question, my friend. I will have to go just to find out!",
"Haha but in all seriousness, I'm glad your first day went well. A welcoming environment makes a world of a difference.",
"It really can, and my fellow computer people can be pretty standoffish. Such a competitive industry, you know. Glad they seem to have a loving workplace cultre.",
"I know what you mean. There's not much competition in my workplace, and honestly it's something I've come to appreciate more and more. Anyway, how's the snorkeling trip planning coming along?",
"Coming along swimmingly ;) I signed up for several trips out to snorkel!",
"Ha! Well said. I imagine you'll be seeing a lot of tropical fish. Don't get so mesmerized that thecruise ship leaves you behind!",
"Hahaha that is a very valid point! Ya know the best part of cruises? You really can have them make you WHATEVER you want. MY TUMMY IS READY FOR PIZZABURGERS FOR DAAAYS!",
"Stop that teasing or I will have to get over my fear of water just to get on that cruise ship with you.",
"Maybe it is just the thing to get you over your fear! We were talking about similar at work today: how immersion is the cure for many fears. ",
"Where does one learn how to swim? At a local pool I suppose..?"

"So maybe you overthought and someday you will learn how to swim?",
"Maybe you could teach me. Have you ever been to the carribean before?",
"I could teach you! and the Carribean is my next trip. It might help if we put on some punk music before we get in the pool.",
"Before during and after! I won't debate you on that. How are you liking this new job? I've always wanted to learn programming.",
"It is a bit tedious and repetitive, but rewarding when the job is complete. Swimming helps me relax because it is a bit stressful at times.",
"I can imagine. I eat pizzaburgers when Im stressed and I'm stressed a lot. Thats Why I'm thinking I cou;ld learn how to swim now. I'm pretty buoyant if you know what I mean",
"haha. Bouyant is a good thing. It will help you float on your back. How about I teach you programming too? For ever hour in water, and hour of training for progrramming?",
"And punk music!!! I've always wanteed to eat a pizza burger in a pool\\",
"Pizzaburgers, Punk music Programming and some swim time! Its a deal.",
"apt-get https://github.com etc. Oh ive been practicing programming already. I was typing in the wrong window",
"Oh, then we wouldn't have to start from scratch. Do you want to plan to meet up next weekend?",

"I will! Is there a city you like to visit nearby while cruising in your car?",
"Yes, there are several. Hope we could meet and You possibly teach me about computer programming.",
"That would be great too. I like to program in several different languages. Do you have a preference?",
"No, I'm just getting started so I don't have a preference. Maybe you could show me what you prefer and we could start there.",

Speaker A: The journey was quite good. I had a lot of fun.
Speaker B: That's nice to hear. Have you been traveling a lot recently?
Speaker A: Yeah, you could say that. I've been exploring a few new places.
Speaker B: Anywhere exotic, like tropical islands, perhaps?
Speaker A: I would love to, but I haven't been to such places yet.
Speaker B: Ah, I see. I'd love to visit an island someday. Maybe somewhere like the Maldives or the Caribbean.
Speaker A: Oh, the Caribbean sounds like a great idea! I've been thinking about going there.

Speaker A: Have you tried any new ice cream flavors recently?
Speaker B: I just tried this new flavor from a local shop, it's a mix of dark chocolate and hazelnut. I loved it!
Speaker A: Sounds delicious! I wish I could try something like that. My local ice cream shop is quite limited on flavors.
Speaker B: Maybe you should consider opening your own ice cream shop with a variety of flavors. You seem to have a knack for it.
Speaker A: That would be a dream come true! But for now, I'm just focused on finding a part-time job.
Speaker B: Have you tried looking for one in the food industry? I know you were considering working at an ice cream store before.
Speaker A: Yeah, I have been looking into it. I think it would be fun and I could learn a lot about how the food industry operates.
Speaker B: That's a great idea! You should definitely go for it. And who knows? Maybe you could end up owning your own ice cream store someday.
Speaker A: That's a fantastic thought! By the way, how's your job going at the diner? You're still cooking, right?
Speaker B: Yes, I'm still at the diner. It's going okay, I guess. The hours are long, but the people are great. I also still have the lab job on the weekends.
Speaker A: You're juggling quite a bit, aren't you? But I suppose it's all about balancing your time.
Speaker B: It sure is. But I like staying busy, it keeps me focused. Plus, I get to continue my research, which is really exciting.

Speaker A: I've been thinking about that conversation we had about cloning. It's really interesting how it's already a natural process for some species. I guess we humans are just playing catch up.
Speaker B: That's one way to look at it, indeed! It's fascinating how much we can learn from nature.
Speaker A: Yeah, and the ethical implications are something to consider as well. By the way, have you tried the Beyond burger yet?
Speaker B: Not yet. I'm still a bit skeptical about plant-based meats. I think I prefer my traditional beef burger.
Speaker A: Well, that's fair enough. You should try it one day though, it might surprise you.
Speaker B: I might, maybe one of these days. By the way, have you started that job at the ice cream shop yet?
Speaker A: Yes, I have! It's pretty fun. I've tasted so many flavors I never knew existed.
Speaker B: That sounds exciting! I bet that's a big change from being a student.
Speaker A: It is, but it's also a good way to take a break from studying. I've learned a lot about time management!
Speaker B: That's great! It's important to balance work and school.
Speaker A: Yeah, it's not easy, but I'm managing. I'm hoping that it'll help me finish school faster.
Speaker B: So, you're planning to finish school in four years, right?

Speaker B: "So, you're planning to finish school in four years, right?"

"Honestly both! I love swedish dance music, but I also love american hip hop. Its so hard to choose. Do you have any music recs?",
"For American hip hop? Wu-Tang, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Juvenile, Grand Master Flash etc. I am a fan of decades of hip-hop, just not anything since 2010ish.",
"Oh wow, yes I've definitely heard of some of those. I love Dr. Dre! Whats wrong with more recent music? Thats definitely what I'm more acquainted with",

Speaker A: Hey, how are things going?
Speaker B: Things are going well, thank you! I am still adapting to my new role in Pediatrics.
Speaker A: That's great to hear! Are you enjoying the change of scenery so far?
Speaker B: Yes, I am. It's challenging but I'm loving every bit of it. The kids are so resilient and they definitely keep me on my toes.
Speaker A: Sounds like it's exactly what you wanted. Have you been able to balance all the new responsibilities and your personal life?
Speaker B: Well, it's been a bit of a juggling act. But I've always been good at managing my time and priorities. I guess it's a skill you acquire when you move to a different country.
Speaker A: I bet that experience of moving really taught you a lot about adaptability.
Speaker B: Absolutely, it was a life-changing experience for me. It's funny how you can adapt to a new culture and still miss your home country at the same time.
Speaker A: That's true. It must be quite a journey, moving from one country to another and adapting to a whole new way of life.
Speaker B: Indeed, it is. You learn to appreciate certain things about your home country that you wouldn't have noticed otherwise.
Speaker A: I can only imagine. Speaking of which, have you had a chance to visit Sweden yet?
Speaker B: Not yet, but I am hoping to make a trip next summer. I want to relax at the beach and spend some time with my old friends.
Speaker A: Sounds like a fantastic plan! So you grew up in the US and moved to Sweden for your job, correct?
|
Speaker A: "So you grew up in the US and moved to Sweden for your job, correct?"
|
Speaker B: "No, actually I'm from Sweden and moved to the US around 12 years ago for a job opportunity in medicine."

Speaker A: So, how's your work in Pediatrics going along?

Speaker B: Yes, I'm learning a lot. And the kids, they're just full of surprises. How about you, how's your work going?
Speaker A: It's going well, I'm currently working on a major project that's keeping me really busy. But it's interesting.

Speaker A: Yes, I've been in touch with my cousin and we're finalizing the itinerary. I'm really excited about it!

Speaker B: Hi A! That's great. I take it you are thinking about starting therapy?
Speaker A: Yes, I think so. I'm still nervous about it, but I think it will be beneficial for me.
Speaker B: That's a big step and I'm proud of you for considering it. It's okay to be nervous, it's something new and it's natural to feel that way.
Speaker A: Thank you, B. It means a lot to hear that. I also talked to my husband about it and he's supportive of the idea.
Speaker B: That's great, having support from loved ones can make a big difference.
Speaker A: Yes, I agree. I think it will be easier knowing that he has my back.
Speaker B: Absolutely! Just remember, it's your journey and you are in control. We can go at your pace.
Speaker A: I appreciate that. It's comforting to know I have someone I trust guiding me through this process.
Speaker B: I'm glad to hear that, A. And remember, it's okay to take breaks or stop if you feel the need to. It's all about what you are comfortable with.
Speaker A: Thank you, B. I'm really looking forward to starting this journey.

"That sounds really great. Do you enjoy it still? I think it would be really hard to listen to people and say the right thing.",
"Yeah I still love it, it can sometimes be challenging but when you see the impact you can make on some peoples' life it is soo rewarding! Have you ever done therapy? ",
"No, but I probably should. My husband suggested it because I have some \"unresolved childhood trauma' or whatever. I find therapy in riding my horses... but it would probably be good to talk to someone.",
"Well, I have recently just had a client leave after successfully completing his journey so if you wanted I would be very happy to see you?",
"Oh wow you can complete therapy? I thought it was just something you did forever! That's good to know.",
"People can get to a point where they don't need me at all, for some it can be as quick as 4 or 5 sessions but some people feel they need to stay in therapy for years and years, it completely depends on the patient! ",
"Wow, that gives me a completely different perspective. You'd really be ok with seeing me? You don't think it would be a conflict of interest since we're friends?",
"No not at all but if you didn't feel comfortable talking to me I can recommend a couple of my colleagues who are just as brilliant",
"I'd prefer to see you since I'm already comfortable talking to you! It will get the awkward part out of the way for me!",
"Well we can defo arrange something, but just remember there is no pressure. The therapy will only work if your ready to be totally honest not just with me but yourself!"

Speaker A: Hey, how have you been?
Speaker B: I've been doing well! How about you? How are your horses?
Speaker A: The horses are great! Riding them is still my favorite part of the day.
Speaker B: That's great to hear. They must give you a sense of peace.
Speaker A: Yes, they do. It's a different kind of therapy for me.
Speaker B: I can imagine. Animals have a way of healing us.
Speaker A: They indeed do. And speaking of therapy, I've been thinking about our last conversation.
Speaker B: Oh, about you possibly seeking therapy?
Speaker A: Yes. I've been considering it more seriously.
Speaker B: That's a big step. I'm glad to hear that. Are you still comfortable with the idea of me being your therapist?
Speaker A: I am. I feel it would be easier to open up to someone I already know and trust.
Speaker B: That's great to hear. Just remember, honesty is key in this process.
Speaker A: I'll keep that in mind.
Speaker B: "So, you have a lot of experience in psychology, don't you?"

Speaker B: "So, you have a lot of experience in psychology, don't you?"

"No, I don't have any pets; my apartment seems too small for a dog and I would worry about them being lonely all day when I'm at work. I was thinking about getting a pair of cats, but I haven't committed yet. How nice fo ryou to have company when you're walking though! What kind of dog do you have?",

Mine would run up and down the halls in the middle of the night, haha. Her name is Kyrie, and she walks off leash and is very obedient.

Speaker A: It's called the "Urban Grind". They have this amazing caramel macchiato.
Speaker B: I've heard about it! My friend loves their blueberry muffins. Did you try any?
Speaker A: Unfortunately, I didn't. But I did try their spinach and feta croissant, and it was delicious.
Speaker B: That sounds tasty! I'll definitely have to try it when I'm in the city next time.
Speaker A: I would recommend it. You can always bring Kyrie along, they have a nice outdoor seating area.
Speaker B: That sounds like a plan. Kyrie loves new places.
Speaker A: By the way, how is she? Still busy herding goats?
Speaker B: Haha, yes. She loves her job. Keeps her active and happy.

Speaker A: Hey, how have you been?
Speaker B: I've been good, just busy with work and stuff. How about you?
Speaker A: Same here, work has been crazy. I finally managed to get some time off though.
Speaker B: That's nice. Any plans for your free time?
Speaker A: I'm thinking of going camping, maybe do some fishing. What about you, have you ever been camping?
Speaker B: Not really, I've always wanted to but never got around to it.
Speaker A: You should give it a try sometime, it's really fun. Especially when you get to cook your own catch.
Speaker B: I can imagine. But, knowing my luck, I'd probably end up catching a boot or something.
Speaker A: That would be something! I remember this one time when I caught a boot, it was the funniest thing.
Speaker B: Sounds like an adventure. I think I'll add camping to my bucket list.
Speaker A: Yeah, it's a great experience. And the fishing part is just as fun.
Speaker B: "Hey, remember when you caught that tiny fish, only 2 inches long? That was hilarious!"
|
Speaker A: "Hey, remember when you caught that tiny fish, only 2 inches long? That was hilarious!"
|
Speaker B: Actually, it was you who caught the tiny fish. I once caught a huge trout that was almost a meter long.

"Hi! I love to fish and spend as much time as possible near the ocean.",
"Thats awesome! My dad owns a surf shop. Morning surfing is my favorite.",
"I don't have time to surf anymore since I work at a doctor's office.",
"That's a good career though. I'm in a band. I play the drums and write music..",

"I love loud. It helps broke away from the day to day life of working in a doctor's office. I love it, but sometimes I just want to rock out.",
"Yeah, that's what first made me get into music and surfing. Having a way to just get away from it all is so important. I have to imagine the doctor's office can get pretty dull sometimes.",
"Yeah, it can. But I love my patients. It nice to know all of the people they are like family.",
"That's cool. I'm sure it feels good to help people too. What kind of practice is it specifically?",
"Just a general practice so nothing special. ",
"Oh okay. Have you made any plans to go fishing soon?",
"Yeah, I took a couple weeks off to go awhile for a little while. I just need a break from it all."

"No. I am a horrible cook. I could screw up boiling water! Looks like you may need to help me catch AND cook the fish.",

"That is so cool! Being in a band must be so interesting. You get to visit so many places! What other countries did you tour?",
"Sometimes it is cool and others not so much. Italy was great. But, we spent 2 weeks playing at clubs in Uzbekistan which is not the greatest. We have also had to hit some smaller countries in Central and South America. IT can be rough when you are worried about getting kidnapped or shot!",
"I imagine it can be very dangerous sometimes, and probably very tiring to be on the road for long periods of time. But I assume it is worth it for the overall experience. Do you see yourself doing anything else for a living apart from this?"

Speaker B: Well, I haven't really thought about it lately. I'm currently focused on balancing my work and piano lessons.

Speaker A: Well, hello there, B! It's been a while since we last caught up. How have you been?
Speaker B: Hello, A! I've been doing well. Just keeping busy with my grandkids and our annual fishing trips. How about you?
Speaker A: That sounds delightful, B. I've been keeping myself busy with various activities. Reading a lot, gardening, and even trying out bird watching. It's an interesting hobby.
Speaker B: That's great to hear! You always did have a knack for finding interesting things to do. How are your grandkids? Have you managed to spend more time with them?
Speaker A: Yes, I've been spending more time with them. We've been going on short nature trips and they seem to be enjoying it. I'm trying to balance things out a bit more these days.
Speaker B: That's fantastic. Spending time with the young ones is always refreshing. Did they take up any new hobbies?
Speaker A: They've taken an interest in painting. I guess they got the creative genes from their parents.
Speaker B: That’s wonderful. Artistic pursuits can be very rewarding. Do you still frequent the library?
Speaker A: Oh, absolutely. I find comfort in the quiet corners of the library. There's always something new to learn, don't you think?
Speaker B: Yes, I do. The library is like a treasure trove of knowledge. I often find myself lost in the books I borrow. Speaking of which, "You're still working as a librarian, aren't you?"
|
Speaker B: "You're still working as a librarian, aren't you?"
|
Speaker A: "No, that's not correct. I'm a retired librarian. I still visit the library, but now it's mostly for my own pleasure or to assist as a volunteer."

"I am excited for the portrait that you will be doing of me and my brother. Have you found any good couponing deals lately?",
"I can't wait to do that painting for you. No I haven't found any good coupons lately, but I hope to find some good ones soon.",
"I'm sure it will be incredible! Have you been doing a lot of painting for other clients recently?",
"I did a painting for Elton John and his dogs awhile back I was star stuck, but I managed to get through it.",
"That's insane. Congratulations! I'm sure that job took a healthy chunk out of your student debt. ",
"Oh, yes. Art school isn't cheap, but I have more and more professionals asking me to paint for them after that. I love painting regular people better it is just more fun.",
"You deserve it. Hopefully the interest keeps up. I would love to see a painting of your pets. Have you ever done a self portrait with all of your pets? ",
"Yes, it was the first really big one I did. It was how I realized I love to paint portraits.",
"That sounds adorable! I don't think I have ever seen a family portrait with rats before. I have never understood how some people don't think they're cute.",
"They are great little pets. But I did leave them out of the painting. Just the 5 dogs since the rats don't stay still.",
"That does make a lot of sense. I can't imagine the dogs were too cooperative either. Are they all the same breed or do you have a big mix?",
"I have a grant Dane, two German shepherds, pit bull, and a mixed we are not sure what he is."

"I can't wait! How long does it usually take to do a formal portrait? Have you been keeping busy with other things?",
"It varies from months to years if you want you know what i mean but it really depends on how much are you putting in. I got some other portraits to work on but my dogs is sick so i'm taking care of it more now.",
"Oh no! It's always so frustrating when animals are sick because they can't tell you what's wrong or how they feel. Hopefully a vet was able to help. Are the other dogs being nice to the sick one at least?",

"I didn't think rats could show that kind of niceness or emotion. Maybe I should give them a little more credit - I bet they can actually be pretty smart. The dogs at the daycare are doing well, but I'm actually in the process of now of getting kittens! I'm really excited. ",
"Rats are smart. That's cool. Kittens are so cute but it is a lot of work, Have you decided on the breed yet?",
"As much as I think certain breeds of cats are really smart or pretty, I think I'm just going to see what they have at the shelter. I think it's important to rescue pets when you have a chance, rather than have breeders introduce new ones. I've always loved cats, and kittens can be so playful. I hope the process moves quickly.",
"Getting it from the shelter is an awesome decision. Yeah my hands are full but if i could ever get a cat, it would definitely be a Persian. ",
"I don't blame you. Those are such beautiful cats. I bet it would give your rats some trouble, though! I love the idea of getting more than one kitten so that they can play with each other. I bet all your pets enjoy having the others as company when you aren't around.",
"Haha that would be a Tom and Jerry scene in my house if i get a cat. i always think they are like secret life of pets when I'm not around. I'm pretty sure you will those love those cute fur balls. "

"Someone I work with at the dog daycare works at a shelter. I think I will go there.",
"That's great. I have gotten my pets from the shelter and they seem happy I brought them home. I have a hard time saying no to them which is why I have so many pets. Cats are easier to take care of than dogs. Do you have a name in mind for your cat? ",

"Maybe I will. Do you think I can start at home by watching Youtube videos, or do I need to go to a Pilates class?",

"Lol, okay I will definitely try it at home first. If I can get the hang of it, I will sign up for a class. Hopefully I can get an instructor as good as yours lol! ",
"Well, getting some individual responses to questions and individual attention at times, I think makes a difference. But there is nothing wrong with going to youtube first! I did!",
"That's great to hear because I get nervous in public so I want to gain a little confidence first. It's so cool we both have pet rats! I don't meet many people who also have a rat, my friends all think I'm strange lol."

Speaker A: Hey, how's your great dane doing?
Speaker B: He's doing great, thanks for asking! He's such a gentle giant. How's your cat?
Speaker A: She's sweet, though she's quite mischievous. I've decided to name her Mischief.
Speaker B: That's a great name! It suits a cat perfectly. By the way, did you ever try pilates?
Speaker A: Yes, I did. I enjoy it a lot. I still love my instructor! How about you? Did you try it?
Speaker B: I did, actually. I started at home with Youtube videos just like you suggested. It's not as hard as I thought it would be.
Speaker A: That's great! So, are you planning to join a pilates class?
Speaker B: Yes, I'm planning to. I think I am ready to do so. I feel like I've gotten the hang of it.
Speaker A: That sounds fun! Who knows, maybe you'll fall in love with your instructor too.
Speaker B: Haha, maybe. By the way, how's your pet rat doing?
Speaker A: He's doing well. I think he's getting used to Mischief. They're quite a pair!
Speaker B: I can only imagine. It's amazing how well different animals can get along.

Speaker A: How are all your pets doing, by the way?
Speaker B: They're all doing well! My great dane and rat are still the best of friends, believe it or not.
Speaker A: That's wonderful! And did you ever finish that portrait of them you were working on?
Speaker B: Yes, I did! It turned out better than I expected. I was actually thinking of entering it into a local art contest.
Speaker A: That's awesome, you should definitely do it! I'd love to see it someday.
Speaker B: I'll definitely show it to you when it's ready. Also, I've been meaning to ask, did you ever get that cat you were talking about?
Speaker A: Yes, I did! She's a tortoiseshell, and I named her after my favorite artist, Frida.
Speaker B: That's a great name! And speaking of artists, did you ever try out pilates like we talked about?
Speaker A: I did! I've been doing it at home with online classes. It's been fun, but I think I'm ready to take a class in person soon.
Speaker B: That's great! I'm sure you'll love it even more in person.
Speaker A: I hope so! Though, I don't know if I'll find an instructor as amazing as yours.
Speaker B: Well, fingers crossed for you! And speaking of art and instructors, "You've always loved painting portraits, haven't you?"
|
Speaker B: "You've always loved painting portraits, haven't you?"

Speaker A: No, I'm not the painter. You're the one who loves painting portraits and actually painted a portrait for me.

"I am happy you are getting some help. Please tell me whatever you want to get off your chest.",
"I'm not actually a \"jumper\" or someone with a teleport machine. Due to things I've gone through in the past, sometimes I disassociate or imagine myself somewhere else and it can feel real. My parents always said it was a superpower, but my therapist pointed out that that was maybe to make me feel better and a temporary fix. Anyway, you mentioned teleporting to Alaska? Is that were you live, or what is so special to you about Alaska?",
"So you aren't able to teleport? I was sort of hoping you could send me off to Alaska. I meant to mention it last time, but that is where I am going in two weeks for a week long vacation!",
"Maybe someday! I'll keep working on a teleport machine. For now, you'll have to get there with more traditional means. So, airplane it is? Have you ever been on a flight before.",
"I have been on it a couple times. My mother said it was powered by pixie dust and I believed her for the longest time! I am not too scared to go this time. Have you invented any flying things?",
"Squirrels! When I was a kid bouncing on a trampoline, a squirrel jumped down from the tree it was on and landed on the trampoline. Due to my super energetic jumping, he flew for a moment! I guess that's not really an \"invention\" though. Do you ever invent things with your programming experience?",
"LOL! You had me going there for a minute. I could just see that sucker flying in my mind. \"Hey Bullwinkle, where's Rocky....\" LOL Good one! I am really good at coding and automating systems, but I haven't really made my own thing.",
"I see. I forgot about Rocky and Bullwinkle. That used to be my favorite cartoon. I even watched the live action movies. Thanks for the throwback! I think you just teleported me to my childhood bedroom. I appreciate the free ride down memory lane! I wish I could pay you back with a free plane ticket.",
"It's ok! You gave me the biggest laugh today so I think we are even! Not to say a free plane ticket wouldn't be nice, but you might just set me on a trampoline and send me flying too!",
"That I can do! I'm not sure the squirrel would recommend that method of transportation though, but as long as you sign some liability paperwork before hand, I am good to go!",
"Wheeee! I'm just being so silly now. Who needs a therapist when we can keep each other so happy?"

"Have you found out any more ideas for what you would like to do on your Alaska trip with your friends?",
"I am thinking I might want to do sledding with dogs while I am there, but I need to figure out if it is daylight or darkness in Alaska right now. My friend says they don't have 24 hour days like we do.",
"You mean they have different daylight and darkness times? That would be cool to see. If it's dark, I'm sure you could go camping somewhere and get some really great views of the stars.",
"Yeah, I think they go dark for a couple months and then have daylight for a couple months! I actually like night time, but having daylight all the time will make me crazy lol. Yeah I kind of hope it's dark for the camping but it will be very cold. I have heard Alaska has delicious ice cream. I want to try that while I'm there, ",
"You'd have to get some serious blackout curtains for when it was daylight lol! You'll have to stock up on some warm essentials before heading out. You definitely don't want to get stuck in a bad situation in the cold, especially if you're alone. I bet they have great ice cream! You'll have to tell me about it when you get back!",
"Yeah, I need to call my friend and find out what season they are in so I can pack accordingly. I will take pictures of the ice cream too so I can tell you about it. I wonder if there are a lot of bears there? I don't like bears either.",
"I'm pretty sure they have grizzlies up there. You better pack something to fend them off too just in case. I bet your friend knows everything you'd need to keep them away.",
"I will bring whatever they let me bring on the airplane, but I am really counting on my friend to help me out with the local customs lol. Do you know if Rocky and Bullwinkle were from Alaska? ",
"No, they were from Minnesota. Are you going to have your friend be your hiking guide?",
"I invited my friend to come stay at the lodge where I'm vacationing and he said it would be fun to get away for a bit. So I'm hoping he will show me around for a week or so. I might have to hire a hiking guide, it depends on how much he knows about hiking and grizzlies I think. What do you think? Should I hire someone?",
"I think it could be a good idea, especially with all the large animals in Alaska and the terrain. I wouldn't rely on your friend and have someone more professional that knows a lot just in case. I'm sure the guide could also give you tons of suggestions of things to do while in the area, and maybe even the best ice cream places lol!",
"That's a good idea, thanks for the advice! It's probably safer too. I bet your right about the ice cream lol. Maybe I will go online and see about hiring a guide. I will send you a picture if I see a moose or any wild animals too... except for bears! "

Speaker A: So how was your trip to Alaska? Tell me everything!
Speaker B: It was amazing! The landscape was beautiful, and it was a great escape from the city life.
Speaker A: I'm glad to hear that. Did you go dog sledding?
Speaker B: Yes, I did! It was such a thrilling experience. The dogs were very energetic and friendly.
Speaker A: That sounds really fun! Did you manage to try the ice cream?
Speaker B: Yes, I did. It was as delicious as I had heard. I wish I could have shipped some back home.
Speaker A: I'm sure it was! And how about the hiking? Did you hire a guide as we discussed?
Speaker B: Yes, I did hire a guide. It was a good decision. He was very knowledgeable and helped us navigate the terrain well.
Speaker A: That's great. And how about the bears? Did you encounter any?
Speaker B: Thankfully, no. But we did come across a family of moose during one of our hikes. That was quite a sight.
Speaker A: Wow, that sounds incredible! Did your friend manage to show you around as planned?
Speaker B: Yes, he was a great host. He showed us some hidden gems of the place. It was a memorable trip all around.
Speaker A: It certainly sounds like it! I bet you'd do it all again if you could.
Speaker B: I definitely would, maybe next time in a different season to experience the endless daylight.
Speaker A: By the way, do you remember when you built your own teleportation machine?
|
Speaker A: "Remember when you built your own teleportation machine?"
|
Speaker B: "No, I didn't build a teleportation machine, that was you."

"I am! I built a transporter before I learned to do it inately.",
"Wow how did you learn to do something like thst?",
"It was a long road, im working on going back in time now.",
"Oh neat. Could you even teleport to alaska?",
"Anywhere with lots of puppies. Puppies are crucial you see. Their energy powers the machine.",
"Haha. You are bonkers! Do you at least not just wear boxers? Maybe pants?",
"Clothes are a bit difficult to teleport unfortunately, I always try for a full closet.",
"Nice to know in case anyone ever asks me about teleportation during my programming work.."

"I had a good session with my therapist! I have to come clean with you about some things.",
"I am happy you are getting some help. Please tell me whatever you want to get off your chest.",
"I'm not actually a \"jumper\" or someone with a teleport machine. Due to things I've gone through in the past, sometimes I disassociate or imagine myself somewhere else and it can feel real. My parents always said it was a superpower, but my therapist pointed out that that was maybe to make me feel better and a temporary fix. Anyway, you mentioned teleporting to Alaska? Is that were you live, or what is so special to you about Alaska?",
"So you aren't able to teleport? I was sort of hoping you could send me off to Alaska. I meant to mention it last time, but that is where I am going in two weeks for a week long vacation!",
"Maybe someday! I'll keep working on a teleport machine. For now, you'll have to get there with more traditional means. So, airplane it is? Have you ever been on a flight before.",
"I have been on it a couple times. My mother said it was powered by pixie dust and I believed her for the longest time! I am not too scared to go this time. Have you invented any flying things?",
"Squirrels! When I was a kid bouncing on a trampoline, a squirrel jumped down from the tree it was on and landed on the trampoline. Due to my super energetic jumping, he flew for a moment! I guess that's not really an \"invention\" though. Do you ever invent things with your programming experience?",
"LOL! You had me going there for a minute. I could just see that sucker flying in my mind. \"Hey Bullwinkle, where's Rocky....\" LOL Good one! I am really good at coding and automating systems, but I haven't really made my own thing.",
"I see. I forgot about Rocky and Bullwinkle. That used to be my favorite cartoon. I even watched the live action movies. Thanks for the throwback! I think you just teleported me to my childhood bedroom. I appreciate the free ride down memory lane! I wish I could pay you back with a free plane ticket.",
"It's ok! You gave me the biggest laugh today so I think we are even! Not to say a free plane ticket wouldn't be nice, but you might just set me on a trampoline and send me flying too!",
"That I can do! I'm not sure the squirrel would recommend that method of transportation though, but as long as you sign some liability paperwork before hand, I am good to go!",
"Wheeee! I'm just being so silly now. Who needs a therapist when we can keep each other so happy?"

"Have you found out any more ideas for what you would like to do on your Alaska trip with your friends?",
"I am thinking I might want to do sledding with dogs while I am there, but I need to figure out if it is daylight or darkness in Alaska right now. My friend says they don't have 24 hour days like we do.",
"You mean they have different daylight and darkness times? That would be cool to see. If it's dark, I'm sure you could go camping somewhere and get some really great views of the stars.",
"Yeah, I think they go dark for a couple months and then have daylight for a couple months! I actually like night time, but having daylight all the time will make me crazy lol. Yeah I kind of hope it's dark for the camping but it will be very cold. I have heard Alaska has delicious ice cream. I want to try that while I'm there, ",
"You'd have to get some serious blackout curtains for when it was daylight lol! You'll have to stock up on some warm essentials before heading out. You definitely don't want to get stuck in a bad situation in the cold, especially if you're alone. I bet they have great ice cream! You'll have to tell me about it when you get back!",
"Yeah, I need to call my friend and find out what season they are in so I can pack accordingly. I will take pictures of the ice cream too so I can tell you about it. I wonder if there are a lot of bears there? I don't like bears either.",
"I'm pretty sure they have grizzlies up there. You better pack something to fend them off too just in case. I bet your friend knows everything you'd need to keep them away.",
"I will bring whatever they let me bring on the airplane, but I am really counting on my friend to help me out with the local customs lol. Do you know if Rocky and Bullwinkle were from Alaska? ",
"No, they were from Minnesota. Are you going to have your friend be your hiking guide?",
"I invited my friend to come stay at the lodge where I'm vacationing and he said it would be fun to get away for a bit. So I'm hoping he will show me around for a week or so. I might have to hire a hiking guide, it depends on how much he knows about hiking and grizzlies I think. What do you think? Should I hire someone?",

Speaker A: Hi, how's your preparation for the trip going?
Speaker B: It's going well. I've been researching more about Alaska and it's really fascinating. I'm looking forward to the adventure.
Speaker A: That's great! Have you found anything interesting about the local cuisine?
Speaker B: Well, I've read about some local delicacies and they seem pretty interesting. I hope to try some of them when I get there.
Speaker A: That's good. Sampling local cuisine is one of the best parts of traveling.
Speaker B: Yes, indeed. By the way, I've booked a tour guide for hiking as you suggested.
Speaker A: That's a smart move. It's always better to have someone professional guide you through unfamiliar terrains.
Speaker B: Yeah, I agree. I also hope he can guide me to some good local eateries around the place. I'm particularly interested in trying the local ice cream, remember?
Speaker A: Oh yes, you did mention that. It's supposed to be quite good, isn't it?
Speaker B: Yes, that's what I've heard. I'm looking forward to trying it.
Speaker A: I'm sure you're going to have a great time. And don't forget to bring back some pictures of your adventures! Especially of the northern lights if you get to see them.
Speaker B: Of course, I will. You'll see all the photos once I'm back.
Speaker A: Can't wait to hear all about it!
Speaker B: "So, you're also looking forward to trying the delicious ice cream in Alaska, aren't you?"
|
Speaker B: "So, you're also looking forward to trying the delicious ice cream in Alaska, aren't you?"

Speaker B: I have! I tried my hand at making cinnamon rolls the other day. They turned out pretty well!
Speaker A: Oh wow, that's great! I bet they smelled amazing. What kind of icing did you use?
Speaker B: I made a simple cream cheese frosting. It was the perfect balance to the cinnamon.
Speaker A: That sounds delicious. I've been craving some sweet treats lately too. I tried to make some eclairs again, but they didn't turn out as good as the ones at work.
Speaker B: I can imagine. Eclairs can be pretty tricky to make. Have you tried any other new dishes at work?
Speaker A: I did! I tried their new shrimp scampi. It was really good, the lemon and garlic flavors were so bright.
Speaker B: That sounds mouthwatering. I'm sure it was a hit. How's your brothers? Do they still dislike oatmeal raisin cookies?

"Quite a hectic schedule you have… it’s a good thing you enjoy working there!"

"I'm pretty excited! They just added one of my favorite dishes to the menu at work. I can't wait for my next shift so I can try it for free. I will send you a pic later, ok? ",
"Okay, yes, please send me a pic as soon as you can. I can't wait to see it. What is the name of the dish?",
"It's a Chicken parmesan, with a red pepper marinara. It's so crisp and juicy-I love it! They serve it with these sweet roasted asparagus!",
"Oh that sounds absolutely fabulous. Are you going to get a free dessert, as well?",
"Yes, I am thinking about trying either the new eclairs, or their tres leches cake with fresh raspberry jam sauce and lemon drizzle! I have too many good options to pick from! What one would you pick?",
"Hands down, I would pick the tres leches. Ever since I tried it a few years ago, it has always been my favorite dessert.",
"Okay, I will try that! I've heard the can be made with different fruits. Did you have fruit with yours?",
"I like it best with fresh strawberries. And then it is even better with some fresh whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. Just thinking about it is making me want to have some right now!",
"Ooh, that sounds delicious! It's a rich and moist cake, so I don't think it should have too much chocolate. I've seen brown sugar and caramel versions too!",
"Oh I've never seen that version. That sounds scrumptuous. Tonight I'm going to bake some oatmeal raisin cookies.",
"That sounds great! I love a good oatmeal raisin cookie with the right amount of cinnamon! My brothers don't like them though, haha. They call them the \"vegetable of cookies\" :)",
"Haha. Your brothers' tastes will probably mature with time. I bet someday they'll grow to love some good old cinnamon oatmeal raisin cookies."

Speaker A: You know, I've been thinking about taking a cooking class. I feel like it would be a great way to improve my skills and learn some new recipes.
Speaker B: That sounds like a great idea. Are you planning on taking a specific type of cooking class?
Speaker A: I think I'd like to start with a class on Italian cuisine. I've always loved the flavors and techniques used in Italian cooking.
Speaker B: Oh, that's wonderful. Italian cuisine is so diverse and flavorful. Have you got a favorite Italian dish that you'd like to learn to prepare?
Speaker A: I would love to learn how to make a proper Chicken parmesan. There's something about the crispiness of the chicken combined with the tanginess of the marinara that I just adore.
Speaker B: Oh, that sounds delicious. And you can experiment with the marinara sauce, maybe add some red pepper for an extra kick.
Speaker A: That's a great idea! I've also been wanting to learn how to make a good dessert. Perhaps something like a tres leches cake.
Speaker B: That's a great choice! Tres leches cake is incredibly rich and moist. You could even experiment with different fruits or sauces.
Speaker A: That's true. I could try making it with a raspberry jam sauce and a lemon drizzle. I think the tartness would balance out the sweetness of the cake nicely.
Speaker B: I agree. And you could even try a brown sugar and caramel version. That sounds really delicious.
Speaker A: Yes, I'd love to experiment with different flavors. I'm really looking forward to it. Plus, I think my brothers would appreciate something other than oatmeal raisin cookies!
Speaker B: Haha, I think you're right. They'll be begging for more once they taste your new recipes. So, you don't work at the restaurant anymore since the fire incident, right?
|
Speaker B: "So, you don't work at the restaurant anymore since the fire incident, right?"
|
Speaker A: "No, that's not correct. I still work at the restaurant. We did have a fire incident but we managed to put it out and everything is under control now."

"Thanks for the movie recommendation. Is it a horror flick? I'll probably have to wait until the weekend to watch it though. I have a karate class tonight.",
"Not a horror flick at all. It's actually a foreign film so there are subtitles. What belt are you in Karate? ",

"That would be a good thing for you and your body. I think everyone should repare for work later on in life so you don't wear your body down early on doing to hard of physical labor for long times. Is lifeguarding pretty physical?",
"Oh yeah. I have to stay in good shape, and sitting hours in the sun on hot days is very draining. I love it though, but it really isn't the kind of job that sets you up for a long term career, you know? ",
"Yes I bet. Do you even get sunburn anymore or are you always a golden bronze color? I burn so fast I could never be a lifeguard.",
"I do tan pretty easily. I feel for all those people who burn so fast. I keep a giant bottle of sunscreen around and use it often. I don't want to worry about skin cancer down the line. "

Speaker A: Oh, it's fantastic. I've been there a couple of times already.
Speaker B: You're going to turn into an Italian sub if you're not careful!
Speaker A: Haha, that wouldn't be the worst thing! By the way, you mentioned you work as a lifeguard, right?
Speaker B: That's right, I work at the local beach.
Speaker A: Oh, a beach lifeguard! That's exciting. Do you ever get to relax and just enjoy the beach?
Speaker B: Well, I'm on duty most of the time, but I do get my moments of peace. Plus, I love the sea, so it's not a bad gig.
Speaker A: That's great. And with all that sun, you must get a nice tan.
Speaker B: Yeah, I suppose. I have to be careful though, you know, sunburn and all.
Speaker A: "Remember that time you got sunburned really bad while lifeguarding at the beach?"

Speaker A: It's really cool. I'm learning so much, and it's a great way to stay in shape. Plus, it's fun.
Speaker B: I knew you would enjoy it! Are you doing karate like I suggested?
Speaker A: Yes, I am. Thanks for the recommendation. I also tried a bit of judo, but karate is definitely my favorite.
Speaker B: Glad to hear that. You should come to the dojo again sometime. I've improved a lot too.
Speaker A: I'd love to. Maybe next week? We could grab lunch again afterwards.
Speaker B: Sounds like a plan! I'm still craving that Italian sub from the new deli, by the way.
Speaker A: Me too, it was delicious. Alright, it's a date then.
Speaker B: Great! I'll bring the SPF 100 for the pool.
Speaker A: Ha! And I'll bring my SPF Vampire. Anything else you'd like to do?
Speaker B: Maybe we could catch a movie afterwards? I know you like those romantic ones.
Speaker A: Actually, I've been trying to watch more foreign films recently. There's something intriguing about them.

Are you a gamer?",

"I get that. For me the appeal to 1st person games is that you can pick them up quickly and put them down quickly. You do not have to devote an extended period of time to them."

"Yup I already volunteer at my mom's after school program. But I am looking to do more high level volunteering at the neighboring university in our town. Have you ever thought about maybe teaching at a college?",
"Maybe community college, but it would have to courses in computer science. I'd like to get involved with robotics. There is a lot of opportunity in this field and being able to teach it can really help advance my expertise.",
"Yeah I feel like you could do so much with a computer science degree. It's really cool there are so many options! I feel a little bit stuck studying linguistics. I love it but the job opportunities are smaller."

"It sounds like something that you would really like and be good at! I hope it works out. I would love to teach robotics someday.",

"Yes I think history is interesting, too! Both of those subjects would be great because there are probably lots of teaching jobs. What kind of history do you like?",
"I love all sorts of history. Right now I am really getting into the weeds of World War II. There's so much to unpack.",
"For sure! So much happened and it really affected how the world is today. I like learning about the history of places where I have lived, it's really interesting.",
"That sounds really cool! What have you learned about where you currently live?",
"Oh, I found out that the big sports field used to be a farm where they grew wheat and raised cows! It's really cool to see places in old photos and see how they have changed.",
"Oh, I love to see that too! It's crazy how different things were just a short time ago. "

Speaker A: Hey, how's your teaching career going? Did you settle on English or history?
Speaker B: Actually, I'm teaching both! I'm really enjoying it. I find that teaching history allows me to incorporate a lot of my English education skills.
Speaker A: That sounds like a great combination! I bet your students really appreciate your comprehensive approach.
Speaker B: I like to think so. It's rewarding to see them develop an interest in the subjects. How about you? Are you still on the path to teaching robotics?
Speaker A: Yes, I am! I've actually started to assist in a robotics club at a local high school. It's a lot of fun, but also quite challenging.
Speaker B: That sounds amazing. It's like you're already making an impact on the next generation. Do you still have time for your other interests though?
Speaker A: Yeah, I do. I've been trying to balance my time better. I've even started playing soccer with a local amateur team on weekends.
Speaker B: That's awesome! I remember you were really into soccer. Are you still into gaming, too?
Speaker A: "Remember when you told me that you gave up playing World of Warcraft to focus solely on your soccer career?"
|
Speaker A: "Remember when you told me that you gave up playing World of Warcraft to focus solely on your soccer career?"
|
Speaker B: "Actually, that's not correct. I used to play World of Warcraft a lot in high school and college, and now I casually play Overwatch. I still play soccer as part of a local amateur team."

"Yes, I have tried before, but they don't seem to be all that interested. What do you like to do in your spare time?",
"Well, I used to play football a lot. That's cool that you've introduced soccer to the kids. What got me inspired was when my older brother and his friends would toss the football with me. You never know, maybe they will enjoy it more later. I don't play football anymore since I graduated high school, but I like to hang out with my friends or play video games sometimes. Are you a gamer?",
"A little bit. I played A LOT of World of Warcraft when I was in high school and college, now I casually play Overwatch. What games do you play?",
"I've always enjoyed the Elder Scrolls Series and games like Witcher. I've been enjoying playing some older classics lately, like Legend of Zelda and the Super Mario Bros. Series. I play most games, but not usually 1st person shooters unless there is more to the game than just that.",
"I get that. For me the appeal to 1st person games is that you can pick them up quickly and put them down quickly. You do not have to devote an extended period of time to them."

Speaker A: Hey, how's your teaching journey coming along?
Speaker B: It's going well! I am doing my student teaching now in an English class. It's been a great experience so far. How about you? How's your computer science studies going?
Speaker A: It's pretty intense but I'm enjoying it. I'm currently working on a project that involves coding a simple game. It's a lot of fun!
Speaker B: That's amazing! I can barely even use my smartphone properly. You must have a lot of patience and dedication to do what you do.
Speaker A: Yes, it does require a lot of patience and problem-solving skills. But I really enjoy it. Besides, who knows? Maybe one day I can use these skills to develop an app or something.
Speaker B: Yeah, definitely! You could even create educational apps for kids who are learning English or history. I bet that would be a great help for teachers like me.
Speaker A: That's a great idea! I've actually been thinking about developing apps that can help differently abled youth in their day-to-day activities.
Speaker B: That's a noble cause. I'm sure it would make a huge difference in their lives. Are you planning to do this full time?
Speaker A: Well, I would love to, but I'm still figuring things out. You know, I still have to support myself through college.
Speaker B: So, you quit your job at the pizza shop and started working on developing apps full time, right?
|
Speaker B: "So, you quit your job at the pizza shop and started working on developing apps full time, right?"

Speaker A: "No, that's not right. I'm still working at the pizza shop to pay for college while studying computer science. I aspire to develop apps for differently abled youth, but I haven't started doing that full time yet."

Speaker A: How was your visit to London? Did you visit any interesting spots?
Speaker B: Yes, I loved it! Especially, the British Museum and the London Eye. Have you been to London before?
Speaker A: I've been there once, a few years ago. I was able to visit the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace. Did you manage to visit the London Zoo?
Speaker B: Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance. I had a pretty packed schedule. But I heard it's a must-visit. Do you have any tips for visiting zoos in general?
Speaker A: Well, I always recommend going early to avoid crowds, and to wear comfortable shoes. Also, if you can, I suggest you plan your visit during feeding times. What about you? Any particular zoo tips?
Speaker B: That's a great advice! I also think it's useful to carry a map of the zoo, and to take breaks in between, because zoos can be quite large. Speaking of zoos, did you take your pets along when you went to the Ashville Zoo?
Speaker A: No, pets aren't allowed in most zoos, at least not the ones that I know of. They stay at home.
Speaker B: I see. It must be hard leaving them behind.
Speaker A: It is, but they are well taken care of.
Speaker B: "So, do you have any pets besides your two dogs?"
|
Speaker B: "So, do you have any pets besides your two dogs?"

Speaker A: "No, I don't have any dogs. I have a cat and a kitten."

"I do like movies quite a bit, but I don't mind sunsets at all. After all, there are great sunsets where I live in California. Sometimes, you'll have the entire evening sky in shades of orange and violet. It's stunning.",

Speaker A: Hey, remember that movie we watched a while ago, Miracle? My nephew is visiting and I was thinking of showing it to him.
Speaker B: Of course, I remember. My kids loved that one, too. You should definitely show it to him, it's a great family movie.
Speaker A: Yeah, I thought so too. I've been thinking of showing him some of the Disney classics as well.
Speaker B: Oh, Disney classics are always a hit! They just released Luca on Disney Plus. It's another great family movie.
Speaker A: Oh, I watched Luca! Made me want to visit Italy. But, you know, ended up going to Hawaii instead.
Speaker B: How was Hawaii? Did you manage to try all the food we talked about?
Speaker A: I did! The kalua pork was amazing, just like you said it would be. I tried Spam musubi and loco mocos too.
Speaker B: I'm glad you liked it. Did you enjoy the sunset tour?
Speaker A: It was calming, just like I thought it would be. Got to see a new location each day. It was a good break from work.
Speaker B: Sounds like a dream vacation! I hope you got to relax and unwind.
Speaker A: I did, but I think next time, I might actually consider Italy. I'm still not over how beautiful it looked in Luca.
Speaker B: Italy does look beautiful. I hope we both get to visit someday.
Speaker A: "Hey, remember when we went to Italy together?"

Speaker A: "Hey, remember when we went to Italy together?"

Speaker A: I've been checking out some guide books about Hawaii, trying to make a list of all the things I want to do while I'm there.
Speaker B: That sounds like a great idea! Planning can really help you make the most of your trip. Have you found anything that you're particularly excited about?
Speaker A: The sunset tours are at the top of my list. I just love the idea of ending each day with a beautiful view of the sunset.
Speaker B: That sounds so peaceful. It's a great way to wind down after a day of exploring.
Speaker A: Exactly. I also want to try out the local cuisine. I've never had Hawaiian food before, so I'm pretty excited about that.
Speaker B: Oh, you're in for a treat! I've been to Hawaii a couple of times and the food is really something special.
Speaker A: I'm glad to hear that. I'm hoping to have a culinary adventure of sorts. Is there anything you'd recommend?
Speaker B: I personally love the kalua pork. The way it's prepared is just so unique and it tastes amazing!
Speaker A: Sounds delicious! I'll definitely give it a try. I'm also considering taking some cooking classes there.
Speaker B: That's a brilliant idea. It would be a fun way to learn about the culture, and you would bring back some new recipes to try at home!
Speaker A: That's the plan! I'm also thinking of taking some long walks and exploring the island.
Speaker B: "You must be really excited about the beach in Hawaii, aren't you?"

Speaker B: "You must be really excited about the beach in Hawaii, aren't you?"

"That sounds nice. It's been rainy here. Are there any good concerts coming up that you plan to see? Maybe I can plan my visit around that if the flights come through",
"Actually, yes! There are a few local artists performing in about 4 weeks, they'll be performing folk music. I'd love to take you out on the town and then enjoy that concert later in the evening if you're interested.",
"That sounds good. I'm looking forward to it. Do you think I will need to rent a car when I'm there, or is it possible to walk and bike in the summer? I always picture huge amounts of snow but I'm not sure if it's like that all year round.",
"I would definitely recommend looking for a rental car to have on hand. There is a town within walking distance from me, but it can be dangerous to walk with the wolves and elk around, especially at night.",
"I imagine so!!! I wouldn't want to run into a wolf! Ok. I will add car rental to my plans. Do you get scared with your dogs, that you will run into wildilfe like that?",
"I think I'm more afraid of the wildlife than my dogs are. If I had to, I think I could muster the courage to face the animals out here, but I will happily avoid them when possible. With you around, I'd feel much better, as well. How do you feel about being that close to wildlife?",
"Well I don't have a lot of experience with that but I guess I'd be ok as long as I knew what to do. Most of the wildlife I see is squirrels, pigeons, and the occasional possum. ",
"We have plenty of those out here, as well, and you'll see them far more often than you'll see wolves. We will just have to take extra precautions at night and make sure we don't leave any food outside that might attract them.",
"How about bears, do you see those near you? "

Speaker A: Did you manage to find a good deal on the airfare?
Speaker B: Not yet. I'm still tracking the prices. They should drop soon. By the way, have you been to the local artists' concert before?
Speaker A: Yes, I have! They are quite popular around here and their folk music is really soothing. You'll love it.
Speaker B: Sounds exciting! I can't wait to experience it. How about the weather, still sunny and clear?
Speaker A: Yes, the weather has been great! Perfect for outdoor activities.
Speaker B: That's wonderful. And how about transportation? I remember you mentioning about renting a car.
Speaker A: Yes, I still think renting a car would be the best option. It would be more convenient for you.
Speaker B: Alright, I'll keep that in mind. And about the wildlife, have there been any recent sightings of wolves or elk?
Speaker A: Not recently, but they are common around here. We just have to be cautious, especially after dark.
Speaker B: Well, I'll trust your experience in dealing with them. I'm not used to being so close to wildlife.
Speaker A: I understand, it could be quite overwhelming at first. But with a bit of caution, we should be fine. Isn't it true that you're terrified of wildlife and would prefer to stay indoors during your visit?
|
Speaker A: "Isn't it true that you're terrified of wildlife and would prefer to stay indoors during your visit?"
|
Chatbot as Speaker B: "That's not entirely accurate. While I lack experience with wildlife and prefer to avoid dangerous situations, I'm open to being close to wildlife."

"I will check them out! How does the daylight effect you during the summer? Isn't it light all night as well?",
"Yeah, there's a phenomenon known as \"midnight sun\", where it's still light out at midnight. If you live far up north enough, there will be a three-month stretch of the year where the sun does not set at all!",
"Wow, that would be intense! I would probably have to get some black out curtains if I lived there!",
"Yep, that's a must-have in many parts of the state, for sure.",
"I have heard that the scenery is crazy! I would love to see the wildlife.",
"The scenery is amazing. Go on some hikes, especially during the summer, and you'll get to see a bunch of wildlife.",

"It's a real bummer that they keep finding ways to charge customers for what used to be standard fare. What's next? Charging passengers for water and bathroom use?",
"I can actually see them adding a credit card slot in the bathroom door. Don't think about all that too much! We will make sure the trip is worthwhile. Poached eggs galore! ",
"Yes! Happy thoughts. And what kind of wildlife can I expect to see? Are there any guided tours?",
"Oh, yes tons of both! The elk and the wolves are magical. I will look for some tours. We have a great music scene too!",
"Oh that sounds amazing. I would love to see elk and wolves. And what kind of music? Are you talking about festivals?",
"A lot of folk and indie rock! I am talking about dingy dive bars with the best music you've ever heard and sticky floors.",
"Wow, sign me up! Actually I think I found some flights that work for my schedule and price. Thanks so much for the heads up - looks like I'll be seeing you in a couple weeks."

Speaker A: How's your preparations for the trip coming along?
Speaker B: It's going well. I've been checking the airfare every day, it seems like the prices are slowly dropping. I'm hoping to book the tickets soon.
Speaker A: That's great! I hope you will be able to find a good deal. How are you doing with the rest of the travel arrangements?
Speaker B: I'm looking into accommodations right now. I'm also researching a bit about car rentals.
Speaker A: Oh, I remember you mentioned last time about getting a rental car. That's definitely a good idea, given the wildlife around here.
Speaker B: Yes, you mentioned wolves and elks, didn't you? It's still surprising that you live in such a wild area.
Speaker A: It can be a bit daunting at times, but it's also quite peaceful. It does make driving a bit more necessary though.
Speaker B: I can only imagine. I'm actually a bit excited to see some wildlife, as long as it's from a safe distance.
Speaker A: Absolutely, we'll take all necessary precautions. It's not everyday you get to see such magnificent creatures.
Speaker B: It's definitely going to be a unique experience. I've been living in the city for so long, I hardly see anything more exotic than a squirrel.
Speaker A: Well, prepare for a change of scenery then! It's going to be quite an adventure.
Speaker B: I'm looking forward to it. By the way, you're still driving that gas-guzzling SUV, right?

"Lol, yeah I hear ya. I haven't yet been to one, but its almost the weekend lol. I hear there is a bluegrass band playing in the next town over, going to go check them out. Should be a quiet, small event, if she is up to it. How much longer until she is due?",

"I play every day, a big part of why I don't think I'll settle down. Jam time is more important than social time lol. Have you gotten any new project cars in to work on? Will you be taking time off when the baby is born?",
"If I had your talent I'd probably be exactly the same way! And no, all about building cribs at the moment haha. And yeah I'm going to take two months off which I can't wait for, although cant imagine they'll be any room for car time in that period lol "

"No, I used to go to them all the time. This will be my first one in a while and probably my last since my wife and I are about to have our baby.",

"If I could find someone to put up with me, maybe lol. But I doubt it, there aren't too many who would tolerate my lifestyle. Drunky is awesome though, he could attract a mate easily enough lol. ",
"Haha good for Drunky! I knew he had it in him. But I'm sure you'll find someone, but the lifestyle also sounds pretty good from my perspective right now haha. Have you had more time recently to play your guitar?",
"I play every day, a big part of why I don't think I'll settle down. Jam time is more important than social time lol. Have you gotten any new project cars in to work on? Will you be taking time off when the baby is born?",
"If I had your talent I'd probably be exactly the same way! And no, all about building cribs at the moment haha. And yeah I'm going to take two months off which I can't wait for, although cant imagine they'll be any room for car time in that period lol "

"About that Bluegrass show -- A friend of mine mentioned that he has a cabin he won't be using only about 20 minutes away. Do you and your wife want to stay there so you can make it? Might be a more comfortable way for your wife to camp. Let me know. ",
"That would be lovely! We can totally pay your friend to use the cabin if they would like.",
"I will let them my friend know that you are interested. I think I might head out that way myself and camp out for the festival too.",
"Nice! Is anyone coming with you?",
"Just my doggy Drunky. You never know, I might meet a nice lady out there. ",
"Totally. There will be a bunch of women there and it'll be easy to strike up conversations. Just be confident and I'm sure you could walk away with a bunch of numbers.",
"Oh, I definitely will. Thanks for the motivation. Is this going to me your first festival?",
"No, I used to go to them all the time. This will be my first one in a while and probably my last since my wife and I are about to have our baby.",
"You could make this one festival your \"escape\" every year. Don't give up the festivals, you need to have something to keep you happy.",
"True, I just don't know who would watch our baby. I'd be really worried to leave the baby with anyone. I'm paranoid haha."

Speaker A: Hey, how's it going?
Speaker B: Good, good. Just adjusting to the new parent life.
Speaker A: Oh yeah, how's the baby doing?
Speaker B: She's keeping us on our toes, for sure, but she's absolutely adorable.
Speaker A: That's great to hear. And how about you? Taking any time for yourself?
Speaker B: It's hard, but I try to find little moments here and there.
Speaker A: Good. Remember our conversation about the festival? You need to keep some things for yourself.
Speaker B: Yeah, I think about that sometimes. Maybe when she's a little older.
Speaker A: I agree. And how's your wife doing?
Speaker B: She's doing great, actually. She's been cooking up a storm lately.
Speaker A: Really? What's her current specialty?
Speaker B: She's been experimenting with a lot of different cuisines. But her Mexican food is absolutely delicious.
Speaker A: Sounds tasty! Maybe I'll get to try it one day.
Speaker B: "You mentioned before about not liking Mexican food, right?"

Speaker B: "You mentioned before about not liking Mexican food, right?"

"Yes, it is still warm enough for me to surf here in the fall. Is it cold enough for you to snowboard in the fall?",
"It usually doesn't get cold enough, that's why I usually surf instead. I love the peace of being out on the water, but later in the season it starts getting too cold for me!",

"LOL. I bet you are better at surfing than you give yourself credit for. I have definitely thought about it snowboarding. I just am worried about being in the cold. For me it's always been warm climates and lots of waves!",

"Well, I just know they are always so fantastic. What was it like growing up? Did she always fix huge meals when you visited?",
"Yep. She was definitely the matriarch and kept us together with family dinners. Whenever we'd go over, it would be about 12 of us, with my parents, uncles and aunts, and two of my cousins. We'd pitch in in different ways but grandma was the boss. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I ever visited her and not smelled something in the kitchen as soon as we got in. That garlic chicken especially was a staple."

"Wow, my mouth is watering. I'll definitely have to try that. It sounds amazing and might be a new favorite. Is it spicy?",

Speaker B: Well, I've recently been trying to perfect my lasagna recipe. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be!
Speaker A: I can imagine. Have you tried adding any unique ingredients to your lasagna?
Speaker B: I've tried adding some unusual spices, but nothing too crazy. I think the traditional ingredients work best.
Speaker A: It's always good to stick with the classics. Do you remember when you taught me how to make spicy fried rice?
Speaker B: Yes, I remember! You did quite well for a first-timer. How's your cooking skills now?
Speaker A: I've been experimenting a bit. I've tried making tacos recently, taking inspiration from that food truck we talked about before.
Speaker B: That's awesome! Did you try making the Birria tacos you mentioned?
Speaker A: I did! It was a challenge, but I think they turned out pretty well. Have you tried making something new recently?
Speaker B: I've been practicing my singing while cooking, if that counts. Trying to hit those high notes while stirring the pot is not as easy as it looks.
Speaker A: Sounds like quite a challenge! I bet you’re getting better at it though.
Speaker B: Well, I'm not so sure about that. But it's definitely a fun way to spice up my cooking routine!

Speaker A: You know what, I've been thinking about taking up a new hobby. Something outdoorsy or adventurous. Do you have any suggestions?
Speaker B: Hmm, how about surfing? Have you ever tried it? It's both outdoorsy and adventurous.
Speaker A: Surfing, huh? That sounds interesting. What do you like about it?
Speaker B: It's just a great way to connect with nature. The feeling of riding a wave is indescribable. Plus, it's a great workout.
Speaker A: That sounds really enticing. I've always loved the beach. I should give it a try.
Speaker B: Oh, really? I didn't know you were a beach person. Do you swim often?
Speaker A: Yes, I grew up near the beach, so swimming and water activities have always been a part of my life.
Speaker B: That's cool. So, you're not afraid of water then?
Speaker A: Afraid of water? No, not at all. Why do you ask?
Speaker B: Oh, I was just wondering. Some people are afraid of water, so I thought it might be a hurdle if you decide to try surfing.
Speaker A: I see. No, water is not an issue for me. I'm more excited about the idea of surfing now that we've talked about it.
Speaker B: That's great! If you need any tips or guidance, I'd be happy to help. I've been surfing for a few years now.
Speaker A: I appreciate that. I'll definitely take you up on that offer when I decide to give it a try.
Speaker B: "So, you've never surfed before and you're afraid of water, correct?"
|
Speaker B: "So, you've never surfed before and you're afraid of water, correct?"
|
Speaker A: "No, that's not correct. I grew up in a beach town and I love surfing. In fact, I even offer you surfing lessons."

You shouldn't worry at all, it may be a little tricky at first as lots of employers ask for work experience and degrees, however degrees really do help you. Humanities isn't too niche either.",

"My guidance meeting went well! Still not sure what I want to do, but humanities or teaching both sound promising.",
"Would you switch your major from humanities to education, or use humanities to go into teaching?",
"Because I'm not fully committed yet, I think I will stay in Humanities for now. That way I have the option to move into education, but I can still explore other areas. Did you enjoy all the later Humanities classes you took?",
"I really enjoyed them, and that was the reason I took them. I was very lucky to find a job, especially one I like. It's very interesting clerking for a law firm. The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't pay as much as you might think it would.",
"Are there any opportunities in clerking to work your way up within the firm? Is it something that you could see yourself doing for a long time?",
"There aren't any opportunities for advancement other than senior cleric -- which is more project management and people management responsbilities. I'd rather do the actual clerk role; I like researching, writing briefs, etc. I could do this permanently if it paid better! Let's talk about you. Are you still on that soccer team?",
"Well at least you like the work for now! I am still on the soccer team. We have a tournament coming up next week that I'm really excited for. I think we might have a chance to win it!",
"Striker, right? How're you scoring these days?",
"Right! It definitely feels like I'm on a hot streak. Hopefully it keeps up through the tournament. One of our other players is injured, though. Did you ever play sports?",
"I played intramural soccer in college. Nowadays I mainly just watch it. I like Manchester United, they're my favorite team. Do you like a particular US or FIFA team?",
"I love Arsenal, even though they aren't doing so well lately. I can't wait for the season to start up again. I do enjoy watching the international teams in the meantime. Having the tournaments on is so fun!",
"I was watching Italy vs Wales yesterday. ITA was up by 1 but then we went to brunch and I missed the last part of the game."

"What position did you play, when you played soccer in college?",
"I ended up being the goalkeeper for most games, not the most exciting position. ",
"Exciting when it really counts though! Do you miss it?",
"I do a bit, but I can relive those times by watching games on TV these days. ",
"That is a good point. I have been thinking that I want to be a voice on one of those soccer video games for a living.",
"That would be a dream job! Maybe I should get back into playing for real, It's good exercise. Could I join one of your games sometime?",
"Probably not an actual game, but I can reserve some time on the field. Maybe I can get some other friends to join so we can really play.",
"That sounds good, I haven't played in a while so something more casual would probably be best to start with.",
"Sounds great! Now the tough question: when do you have time?",
"It would have to be sometime when I'm off work, maybe on the weekend. ",
"OK. Just let me know when you want to plan it and I will put in the reservation request. Do you need to borrow cleats or anything? I am a size 11.5.",
"No, I still have my old ones from a long time ago. So tell me, have your plans for life gotten any clearer?"

Speaker A: Hey, long time no see! How have you been?
Speaker B: Hi there! I've been good, keeping busy with work and stuff. How about you?
Speaker A: Same here, just juggling between work and hobbies. By the way, did you ever get back to playing soccer?
Speaker B: Not yet, but I've started jogging to get my stamina back. I'm still open to that game you mentioned last time.
Speaker A: That's great! We should definitely organize that soon. Do you still watch games on TV?
Speaker B: Yeah, I do. I've been hooked on the Premier League lately.
Speaker A: Ah, the Premier League! That's some intense action. Have you picked out any favorite teams or players yet?
Speaker B: I'm a big fan of Manchester United. As for players, I really admire David de Gea, their goalkeeper.
Speaker A: De Gea is indeed fantastic. It's fascinating how he makes goalkeeping look so effortless.
Speaker B: Yeah, watching him play makes me miss my goalkeeping days. He's a great source of inspiration.
Speaker A: You must've been pretty good too. I bet you had some amazing saves.
Speaker B: Well, I had my moments. Nothing like De Gea though.
Speaker A: "Didn't you tell me once that you used to play as a striker in college soccer?"

Speaker A: "Didn't you tell me once that you used to play as a striker in college soccer?"

Speaker B: No, actually, I was a goalkeeper in college soccer, not a striker.

"I've been mostly studying but I let myself have a break by playing a bit of soccer with friends. ",
"Yeah, I know how time demanding studying can be, but it's so important to take a break from it every once in a while. Recently, I've just been super busy working. ",
"You should take a break too. I have a match next week. You can come watch if you like.",

"I am a striker . i love the thrill of scoring goals. Hey. .have you applied for a job as a firm reviewer? Why stay at a job that doesn't pay enough",
"Best position mate! I'd love to look into it to be honest however it's the comfortability for me at my current job. You get used to the same wage and rely on it way too much. Maybe I'll look into a little further, no harm in looking. Have you been searching for jobs recently?",
"I am not looking right now. I just want to finish college . I am a bit worried i might not get a good job with a degree in Humanities.",
"Yeah I understand, you see I started looking toward the end of college to try and secure myself a job in readiness for when I finish. You shouldn't worry at all, it may be a little tricky at first as lots of employers ask for work experience and degrees, however degrees really do help you. Humanities isn't too niche either.",
"Thanks for the advice. I 'll try to get my old job back. Maybe we can meet up to discuss career prospects. Lunch is on me since you're broke. Just kidding.. ",
"Haha, you joker! That would be great mate, might help me too as I don't mind working where I'm at but want to try to aim higher. More pay would be brilliant as 12 hours a day is so tiring ",
"That's great. I'd like to borrow some of your college books if you don't mind. I can only pay in burgers not cash.lol",
"Oh yeah of course, I definitely don't need them anymore. Wow, you certainly know the way to my heart. Burgers are my FAVOURITE!!"

Speaker A: Well, I have a bit more free time now that I'm not juggling a job and college.
Speaker B: That's good to hear. You need a break every now and then. What have you been doing with your free time?
Speaker A: I've been trying to stay active, actually. I've been playing soccer with some friends, just casual games for fun.
Speaker B: That sounds like a great way to stay in shape. I remember we talked about playing a game together. Did that ever happen?
Speaker A: Not yet, but I'm still open to the idea. Maybe we could arrange something for the weekend.
Speaker B: Definitely, let's look into that. I could use a good game of soccer.
Speaker A: Great, I'll check the schedule and let you know when we can get some field time.
Speaker B: I'd appreciate that. And don't worry about equipment, I still have my old cleats.
Speaker A: Perfect, we're all set then. By the way, do you remember when we used to talk about our dream jobs?
Speaker B: Yes, I remember that. You wanted to be a voiceover artist for soccer video games, right?
Speaker A: Yes, that's right. It's still a dream, but who knows what the future holds?

"I have another year- so this year is really important I get internships and start making connections in the field. I love going to the beach too. What happened with your knees that now cause you so much pain?",
"I think age has really been my knees downfall. I also used to hike a lot and I put a lot of pressure on my legs. That is great that you only have a year. Maybe when you graduate you can come hang out on the beach with me. I can't surf but I would love to watch you.",
"That would be fun! I like collecting shells too so we could do that as well. I have a small collection of ones I have from around the world. The farthest away was from Greece. Have you traveled a lot?",

"Oh gosh. I have been to France, England, Ireland, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Germany, Leichenstein, Spain, and much of Mexico, and Bermuda. I just love to travel but I have not been able to recently and with my knees I cannot sit in coach anymore and first class is so expensive. Do you plan on settling any place in particular once you graduate? ",
"That's awesome you have been so many places! I am not sure where I will setlle down after graduation. It probably will depend whether I decide to go further in my education or not and I have any residency requirements with that. I do like the heat though so hopefully somewhere sunny!",
"Oh I forgot my most favorite place- Italy. I am sure you will have so many opportunities when you graduate. You will have people knocking down your door. You could go anywhere with that degree. WOuld you like Florida? I personally cannot deal with that much heat but sounds like you would like it there. My brother lives in Cape Coral on one of the canals and he loves it. Other than FLorida what other warm place would you like?",
"Maybe California- I dont think I want to live where hurricanes happen every year! Does your brother deal with that a lot?"

Speaker A: So, how are things going with your studies? Do you have any internships lined up?
Speaker B: Yes, I got an internship with a sports club. They have a great program that will allow me to work with experienced trainers.
Speaker A: That's fantastic! You are definitely on the right path. What kind of sports does the club cater to?
Speaker B: It's a multi-disciplinary club. They have teams in soccer, basketball, baseball, and a few others. I'll be working with all of them.
Speaker A: That's a great opportunity. Do you get to play any games with them?
Speaker B: Not really. I'll mostly be helping with training and rehabilitation. But I do play soccer casually whenever I get time.
Speaker A: I remember you mentioned your interest in soccer before. And how are your beach activities coming along? Have you managed to try out surfing?
Speaker B: Yes, I've started learning surfing recently. It's quite challenging but I'm enjoying it a lot.
Speaker A: That sounds like fun! There's something really exciting about riding the waves. Maybe one day you could teach me.
Speaker B: I'd love to! Once I get better at it myself, of course.
Speaker A: I'll look forward to that. And maybe we can go shell collecting too. You still do that, right?
Speaker B: Yes, I do. I love adding to my collection. It's a great way to remember all the beaches I have visited.
Speaker A: That's a lovely hobby to have. And speaking of sports and beaches, "Remember when you used to play basketball in college?"

"How's the internship hunt going?",
"It's tough right now to be honest. Not enough internships for too many students.",
"I am sorry to hear that. The job market should pick up soon. The good thing about being in the medical field is that there is always a need for more help!",
"Sports medicine is so popular right now. All the young sports fans grown up I guess. ",
"Well, keep confidence in yourself that you are the best of the best and will outshine the competition!",
"I hope so. Everyone else has all these connections through family and stuff. Their dad knows someone, etc. Gotta beat that.",
"Keep up the surfing and maybe you will make some connections that way.",
"That's true. I've heard that a lot of doctors surf on breaks to get their minds clear. Good idea",
"That would be really helpful to link up with a doctor!",
"Maybe I can just pretend to get hurt surfing and one can come check out my knee.",
"Now you are thinking! Must get creative!",
"HAHA. I like how this is going. I'll figure out the beach closest to a hospital."

"I met this guy at work who's wife is an athletic trainer, they asked me to pass their info on to you to discuss possible internships!",
"That would be great- thanks so much! I have searched online a lot for internships but it is tricky in my field. What do you do for a living in the medical field?",
"You are so welcome. I am retired now but I was a PA- physician assistant. Now I enjoy hanging out at the beach. With my knees the way they are the ocean water seems to make them feel better. So how much longer before you graduate?",
"I have another year- so this year is really important I get internships and start making connections in the field. I love going to the beach too. What happened with your knees that now cause you so much pain?",
"I think age has really been my knees downfall. I also used to hike a lot and I put a lot of pressure on my legs. That is great that you only have a year. Maybe when you graduate you can come hang out on the beach with me. I can't surf but I would love to watch you.",
"That would be fun! I like collecting shells too so we could do that as well. I have a small collection of ones I have from around the world. The farthest away was from Greece. Have you traveled a lot?",
"I have. I love Europe. I have been to many countries there but I have not gone to Greece yet. I would love to. The scenery and architecture is amazing. Have you gotten to visit other European countries?",
"I have. I have also been to France and Ireland. Where have you been in Europe?",
"Oh gosh. I have been to France, England, Ireland, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Germany, Leichenstein, Spain, and much of Mexico, and Bermuda. I just love to travel but I have not been able to recently and with my knees I cannot sit in coach anymore and first class is so expensive. Do you plan on settling any place in particular once you graduate? ",
"That's awesome you have been so many places! I am not sure where I will setlle down after graduation. It probably will depend whether I decide to go further in my education or not and I have any residency requirements with that. I do like the heat though so hopefully somewhere sunny!",
"Oh I forgot my most favorite place- Italy. I am sure you will have so many opportunities when you graduate. You will have people knocking down your door. You could go anywhere with that degree. WOuld you like Florida? I personally cannot deal with that much heat but sounds like you would like it there. My brother lives in Cape Coral on one of the canals and he loves it. Other than FLorida what other warm place would you like?",
"Maybe California- I dont think I want to live where hurricanes happen every year! Does your brother deal with that a lot?"

Speaker A: So, have you had any luck with internships yet?
Speaker B: Actually, yes! I've secured an internship with a sports medicine clinic. I'm really excited about it.
Speaker A: That's fantastic news! I bet you'll learn a lot from that experience.
Speaker B: I hope so. It's a great opportunity for me to get hands-on experience in my field. How have you been, by the way? Still enjoying your retirement?
Speaker A: Oh, absolutely! I've been spending a lot of time at the beach, as usual. I've also started to do a bit of gardening. It's easier on my knees.
Speaker B: That sounds nice. I remember you mentioning your knee problems before. I wish I had more time to enjoy the outdoors. Between school and this new internship, I'm swamped!
Speaker A: Well, remember to take care of yourself, too. It's important to have a good work-life balance.
Speaker B: I'll keep that in mind. By the way, I've been meaning to ask - did you ever get to visit Greece?
Speaker A: No, unfortunately I haven't been able to travel much recently due to my knees. But it's still on my bucket list!
Speaker B: I hope you get to go sometime. It's such a beautiful country. I brought back some shells from my visit, they're a nice reminder.
Speaker A: That sounds lovely. You should show me your collection sometime. I can't remember, did you say you were planning to settle in California after graduation?
Speaker B: I'm still considering it. I'd love to live somewhere warm and sunny, but I haven't made any definite plans yet.
Speaker A: Well, wherever you decide to go, I'm sure you'll do great. You used to work as a surgeon, right?
|
Speaker B: "You used to work as a surgeon, right?"
|
Speaker A: "No, I was a physician assistant before I retired, not a surgeon."

"Yesterday at work I tried playing some music for the white tigers as you suggested, they did seem to enjoy listening!",
"That sounds like a great time! Did they purr like household cats?",
"They sure did! It was just much, much louder. It makes me wonder how your pups would react.",
"I'm sure they'd be running the opposite way with their tails tucked if they saw a tiger. Haha. If you're talking about the music, than I'm sure they'd enjoy it and jump all over you. Are there any other animals you've tried playing to?",
"Haha Journey and Sid have experienced quite a few home concerts! I'll have to invite you over one of these nights to witness it all.",
"It sounds really fun! Do you have any penguins at your zoo or seals?",
"Just penguins. They're sooo cute but you have to watch out because they can get feisty. I love my job so much. I hope you can find small things to enjoy about yours.",
"It's very repetitive. At first, it was interesting, but now it's boring. I hope to get a promotion, so I can learn something interesting again. Haha. I'm sure working with animals is an everyday thrill.",
"I'd gladly have you help out for a few days if I could! The excrement won't pick itself up, unfortunately. You would get to feed some penguins to make up for that though.",
"Haha. That sounds like a lovely time. How do you get the fish smell off of your hands afterwards?",
"You don't :( Sometimes I think I'd rather trade fish for oil and grease. ",
"The only thing that gets the grease off is dish soap. Have you ever tried vinegar? I heard it neutralizes a lot of odors."

"That's super unfortunate, How do you get Journey to not eat the food?",
"Journey can open the fridge, maybe I should put a lock on it. Do you have trouble with your dogs getting into food too?",
"Well fortunately they can't open the fridge just yet! But yea sometimes they manage to get into other stuff, especially when I leave it out! Does Sid try to get into food also?",
"Sid is far more well behaved then Journey when it comes to food out. The worst Sid can do is escape from his cage once in awhile. How are your dogs doing anyways?",

"Well I'm a bit cautious when working with new animals but not really. I'm hoping that I'll at least be able to interact with the animals. I'm glad there are jobs that aren't super demanding! How have you managed to work at the zoo for so long?"

Speaker A: Hey there, how has your job search been going? Any luck on the zoo front?
Speaker B: Hi, yes! I applied to a few zoos and even had an interview with one. I'm waiting to hear back now.
Speaker A: That's fantastic! How did the interview go? Did they ask anything unexpected?
Speaker B: It went well, I think! They asked a lot of questions about handling animals and managing their areas. Nothing too out of the ordinary.
Speaker A: That's good to hear. It sounds like you were well-prepared. Did you mention your experience with your dogs in the interview?
Speaker B: Yes, I did. They seemed quite interested in my stories about managing the mischievous behavior of my terriers.
Speaker A: I bet they liked that! Pet experience can translate well into handling other animals. Did they mention which animals you might be dealing with?
Speaker B: They didn't specify, but they did say I could potentially work with a variety of animals, depending on the needs of the zoo.
Speaker A: That sounds exciting. Being able to work with many different animals could be a great experience. Are you still comfortable with that?
Speaker B: Yes, I'm looking forward to it. I'm sure it will be a learning curve, but I'm ready for the challenge.
Speaker A: I have no doubt you'll do great. Your terriers have prepared you well. Speaking of which, how are they doing?
Speaker B: They're doing well, thank you. They've been keeping me company during the job hunt.
Speaker A: That's great. They must be enjoying the extra attention. So you've never had any pets before, right?
|
Speaker A: "So you've never had any pets before, right?"

Speaker B: "No, that's not true. I have two terrier dogs as pets."

Speaker A: Did I tell you that I'm thinking of adopting another pet?
Speaker B: Really? What kind? You already have Journey and Sid, right?
Speaker A: Yes, and they are quite a handful. But I'm considering adding a bird to the mix. You know, bring a bit of the zoo home.
Speaker B: That sounds like a lot of work. How do you plan to manage them all?
Speaker A: I believe it will be a challenge but I think I'll manage. I might even set up a little concert for them.
Speaker B: A concert? That's new! How would that work?
Speaker A: Well, I play the guitar sometimes, just for fun. I thought I might play for them. Music has a soothing effect on animals.
Speaker B: That's quite interesting! I've heard about music therapy for animals. It's supposed to be very effective, isn't it?
Speaker A: Yes, absolutely. It can help reduce their stress levels and keep them calm. Plus, it's a fun activity for me too.
Speaker B: Wow, that's a cool idea. It's like a mini-zoo at your place with its own entertainment!
Speaker A: Haha, I guess so. I just like to keep them engaged and happy. It's a part of my responsibility as a pet owner, and as a zookeeper.
Speaker B: I agree, animals deserve all the care and love we can provide them. And introducing them to music seems like a unique way to do that.
Speaker A: I'm glad you think so. It's always fun to try new things with them. They might even start dancing to the tunes!
Speaker B: "You've never tried playing music for the animals at the zoo, have you?"
|
Speaker B: "You've never tried playing music for the animals at the zoo, have you?"
|
Speaker A: "Actually, I have tried playing music for the white tigers and have also held home concerts for my pets."

"That's a good point! Yeah, Tasha has seen cats before and she just ignores them! ",
"Ok well ignoring is better than attacking haha! Maybe Tasha can teach the kitten mandarin haha. Have you picked up any mandarin from her?",
"Hahaha. No Tasha picked the Mandarin up from me! I was learning it and saying all these different phrases and Tasha stopped saying her usual English phrases and started saying Chinese ones instead!",
"Oh that's interesting! What got you into learning Mandarin?",
"I really want to visit China, so I thought I'd pick up some helpful phrases. I imagine that trip's a long way off though! I'll try to travel somewhere in the US first.",
"A trip to China sounds so fun!! Where do you think you will travel in the US first?",
"New York City! I've always wanted to spend time in a big city so I figure I should go for the biggest!",

Speaker A: Oh, by the way, how's Oreo doing? Has she adjusted well to her new home?
Speaker B: She's doing great! She's become quite the explorer, always finding new nooks and crannies to hide in.
Speaker A: That's wonderful! She sounds like a handful.
Speaker B: Definitely, but it's been worth it. She's really brought a lot of joy into my life. How about you, how's Tasha doing?
Speaker A: Tasha's doing well. She's still a little wary of the kittens, but I think they're slowly warming up to each other.
Speaker B: That's good to hear. You know, I'm always amazed at how well you're able to take care of so many different kinds of animals.
Speaker A: Well, they're all unique in their own ways. But it's a great experience, I must say.
Speaker B: I can imagine. By the way, how's your Mandarin coming along?
Speaker A: It's going alright, I'm still practicing. Tasha seems to be getting used to it too.
Speaker B: That's great! It's impressive that you're learning a new language. It's something I've always wanted to do.
Speaker A: It's never too late to start! Maybe you could try learning with me sometime.
Speaker B: That sounds like a fun idea! I'd love to try.
Speaker A: Great! It'll be a fun experience for sure. Speaking of experiences, have you ever lived anywhere besides here?
Speaker B: No, I've always lived here, although I've always wanted to experience living somewhere else.

Speaker A: She doesn't seem too bothered yet. Maybe she'll change her mind once she sees Oreo.
Speaker B: I can't wait to see that! By the way, have you planned your New York trip yet?
Speaker A: Not yet, still deciding on the best time to go. But I'm definitely looking forward to it.
Speaker B: I'm sure you'll love it there. And don't forget to listen out for that New York accent!
Speaker A: Oh, I won't forget that. It's part of the charm!
Speaker B: Indeed. And how's the Mandarin coming along? Is Tasha still getting confused?
Speaker A: I'm making progress, and Tasha's getting used to it. I think she's less confused now.

"That sounds like it would be relaxing. I would probable be okay if we didn't run into any wolves, bears etc. Have you ever came across any predators when you were camping?",
"Oh I've seen bears and even a mountain lion. Luckily, it was a far away encounter and they didn't know that we were there. As soon as I saw them we changed directions fairly quickly but quietly. Don't worry, I've only seen it a handful of times in my time camping.",

Speaker B: Yes, I just got back from a cruise. The warm breeze and beautiful ocean views were just amazing.
Speaker A: That sounds wonderful. I've always wanted to try a cruise.
Speaker B: You should! It's a whole different experience from hiking and camping.
Speaker A: I bet, I do enjoy my time in the woods though. I've been hiking almost every weekend.
Speaker B: That's great. I admire your passion, but I don't think I could handle the bugs and the unpredictability of nature.
Speaker A: Oh, but the beauty of nature is worth it. Plus, I've learned how to deal with the bugs and other wild creatures.
Speaker B: I'm sure you have. I just prefer my vacations to be more relaxed and bug-free.
Speaker A: Fair enough. By the way, how did you like the food on the cruise?
Speaker B: It was incredible! So many options and everything was delicious.
Speaker A: I can imagine. I do miss having a fully cooked meal when I'm out camping.
Speaker B: Well, maybe one day you'll trade your tent for a cabin on a cruise ship.

"UGh! I hate mosquitos. I double up on sprays containing 20% DEET and then ones with another active ingredient like camphor or citronella. I spray skin AND clothes",
"I definitely need to load up on repellant. I hear the mosquitos on the trail will pick up up and carry you off. They are intense!",
"You know you're freaking me out, right? I go back and forth on whether I like camping and hiking and the outdoors in general, but I definitely HATE BUGS."

"I loaded up on repellent like you said and I also grabbed a few of those mosquito repellent bracelets, I figured why not!",
"Have you been hiking lately?",
"Yes I did actually. I lead some friends on a hike in a local trail last weekend. They got tired really quickly as they never go hiking they told me.",
"Sounds like me. I am not a fan of the outdoors. Did your friends manage to have a good time anyway?",
"Oh they did. We had some nice snacks along the way. Oddly enough, we had some trail mix that someone had made at home. It was quite tasty. We also had some juice and water packed to make sure everyone stayed hydrated. You should join us one day! I'll make it as fun as possible.",
"I will someday. just not in the summer when all the bugs are out! Where do you go hiking the most?",
"I like to go hiking in the local trails here. I am familiar with them and there's so many routes that I can take. Sadly, the bugs are as bad here as they are anywhere else.....",
"They can't be that bad in the fall right? I hope? Do you camp most every weekend?",
"A least a couple of times a month. Sometimes, yeah, I go every weekend to relax. Being in nature is so relaxing to me. And nah the bugs aren't too bad in the fall and winter. There's a beautiful river along one trail that I bet you'd love to see. ",
"That sounds like it would be relaxing. I would probable be okay if we didn't run into any wolves, bears etc. Have you ever came across any predators when you were camping?",
"Oh I've seen bears and even a mountain lion. Luckily, it was a far away encounter and they didn't know that we were there. As soon as I saw them we changed directions fairly quickly but quietly. Don't worry, I've only seen it a handful of times in my time camping.",
"That's a positive sign. You are helping take some of my fears away. I think I would like to try a short hike this summer. How is Tasha doing?"

Speaker A: I'm glad you're considering it! And Tasha is doing great. She has been loving the hikes as well.
Speaker B: That's good to hear. You've had Tasha for a while now, right?
Speaker A: Yes, she's been with me for about four years now. I got her when she was just a puppy.
Speaker B: I remember when you first got her. She's grown so much. Does she often accompany you on your hikes?
Speaker A: Yes, she loves the outdoors as much as I do. I think she has a great sense of adventure.
Speaker B: I can imagine. I've seen how excited she gets during our walks in the park. I bet she enjoys the more challenging hikes.
Speaker A: Absolutely! She's always leading the way and exploring new paths.
Speaker B: That's great to hear. Seeing her might just give me the motivation I need to join you.
Speaker A: I'm sure she would love that. And I promise to keep our hikes beginner-friendly for you.
Speaker B: I'll hold you to that promise. In the meantime, we should catch up over some snacks. I'm in the mood for something sweet.
Speaker A: How about some fruit salad? It's healthy and sweet.
Speaker B: That sounds good. But you know me, I prefer something like ice cream. Aren't you a big fan of ice cream, just like me?
|
Speaker B: "Aren't you a big fan of ice cream, just like me?"
|
Speaker A: "Actually, I believe ice cream is not a healthy food choice. I aim to recommend healthier and delicious food options to you."

"Thanks! In general as long as I keep calm I'm alright at them, though I have had a couple of interviews in the past where they asked me questions I hadn't prepared for and I got very flustered! What about you, are you good at interviews?",

"The process of making horror movies must be fascinating. Do you have any interesting stories from the set?",

Speaker A: Hey, how's it hanging? Still producing those horror flicks?
Speaker B: Hey, yeah, I'm still in the business. It's not Hollywood level, but I'm enjoying it.
Speaker A: I can imagine it must be a lot of fun. You're literally bringing stories to life.
Speaker B: Well, it's not all fun and games. There's a lot of hard work that goes into it. But yes, it's definitely rewarding.
Speaker A: I bet. Have you ever thought about venturing into other genres?
Speaker B: Sometimes. But horror has a special place in my heart. I think it's where my skills shine the most.
Speaker A: That's fair. I've always found horror to be incredibly interesting. The suspense, the thrill, it's all so captivating.
Speaker B: And don't forget about the fake blood. Lots and lots of fake blood!
Speaker A: Oh, right! I remember you telling me about that. How's it working with all that?
Speaker B: Well, as I said, I try to keep my distance. But it's an essential part of the process, so I have to deal with it.
Speaker A: I can imagine. It must be hard keeping everything safe and clean.
Speaker B: It is. But we make sure to prioritize safety. It's all part of the job.
Speaker A: It's great to hear that. I'm sure the actors appreciate it. Speaking of which, do you ever work with big names?
Speaker B: Not really. We mostly work with amateurs. But you never know, one of them might be the next big thing.

Speaker A: Hi, how are things on the horror movie set? Any more blood-soaked stories?
Speaker B: Hi there! No new stories as such, but we're working on a new script right now. It's going to be a really intense one, even for us.
Speaker A: Wow! That sounds exciting. How are you managing your day job along with this?
Speaker B: It's a bit of a juggle, but I'm managing. The thrill of producing a movie makes it all worth it.
Speaker A: I can imagine. It sounds like a lot of fun.
Speaker B: Yeah, it is. So, how about you? How are your job interviews going?
Speaker A: They're going okay, I guess. I'm still trying to figure out where I fit best.
Speaker B: It's always tricky to find the right fit. But I'm sure you'll find something that suits you. Do you still have more companies to interview with?
Speaker A: Yes, I do. I'm also thinking about volunteering at a charity while I figure things out.
Speaker B: That sounds like a great idea. It can be really rewarding to work for a cause you care about.
Speaker A: Yeah, I think so too. Plus, it might give me a better idea of what kind of work environment I thrive in.
Speaker B: Absolutely. It's all about finding what works best for you. By the way, how are you adjusting to the city?
Speaker A: I've been so busy with the interviews, I haven't really had the chance to explore much.
Speaker B: "So, have you been getting out and exploring the city a lot?"

Speaker B: "So, have you been getting out and exploring the city a lot?"

"I am a little bit sore, but ready to get back on the field! maybe you can give me some tips from your sports medicine training to help my sore muscles!",
"Try to go between ice and heat. And make sure to not rest them to long as then it will be sore every single time that you play. Rest a day and then get going again. It will work its self out.",
"Sounds good! Will hiking make it worse? Dave and I are supposed to go on a trail this weekend, but I don't want to get too sore and not be able to play.",
"No, that will be find. Just don't push yourself to much if it starts to get to much then make sure you rest. You don't want to hurt yourself.",
"No, definitely not. Maybe you can make it out to one of my games sometime?",
"I would love that. Hopefully I can make it this weekend. I have an exam on Friday and then hopefully I can make it there before your game.",
"Which exam? I had a history test last week and it was horrible. I wish my teacher was better, or at least made the topic interesting. It's so boring in his class that I have a hard time paying attention.",
"It is for my sport medicine. It is the last one of the class I have made A's all year so hopefully I can pass this one also and I'll be done.",
"Oh nice! I wish that I could get all A's. I'm more of a B and occasional C student. The only guaranteed A I have is in gym, haha",
"I think everyone gets an A in gym. I have studied really hard to get those As I want to pass with good grades. I figure it would help me get a good job afterwards.",
"I'm sure it will. My sister got good grades in school and ended up with a great teaching job. I know it's not the same, but it definitely helped her. I still am hoping that I can get a soccer scholarship, because there's no way that I'll get one for my academics.",
"Just keep at it and try your hardest. You never know you might surprise yourself"

"Are you taking any break from studying today to relax?",
"Relax? Haha I don't have time to relax. I need to keep up my A streak.",
"I wish I was as motivated as you! The only thing I can stick with long enough to get an A is gym. At least you understand what thats like since you're studying sport medicine- sports is so much more fun than studying!",
"If I was good enough I would play soccer as a career, but at least with sports medicine I can stay around it. And any A's are great btw. Just got to work harder at the others.",
"Well, I hope you remember to take a break when you need it! its important to pace yourself otherwise you might crash and burn. At least you're near the finish line!",
"I can't fail. I am the only child and my mom runs the school. She tells me that anything less than an A will embarrass her, the school and the family.",
"That kind of pressure can really weigh on a person. I'm sure that your mom would rather have a child who is happy and stable rather than one who worked too hard and fell apart. Trust me, you don't want to be in that position where you didn't get to relax and you also collapsed before you could get a good job!",
"You say that, but you have not met my mother. She is incredibly strict and you do not want to get on her bad side. I'm just glad she came around to letting me do sports medicine",
"That sucks! I hope you manage to get a break from her strictness and focus on yourself. You are an adult after all and after a certain point we got to prioritize our own happiness and peace of mind!",
"I know this sounds pretty bad, but I am so ready to get away from this school and be out of her grips",
"No it doesn't sound bad at all! I totally would feel the exact same way. I'm so happy for you that you're nearing the end. Its pretty impressive that you've managed to get good grades this whole time - now you only have the home stretch left!",
"That's true and I did it all on my own. So my mother doesn't have anything over me. I love her, but I think I need to tell her how she has made me feel all these years someday soon."

"How did the exam go?",
"Well, I have a few coming up. It's almost finals season. I'm still studying for them but I think it'll be ok. How about your history exam?",
"The history exam went pretty well, I got a B. I think that if I would have studied more, I would have got an A.",
"A B is still pretty great though! Do you have more exams coming up or are you on a break now?",
"Yeah, I guess I am happy considering I did not have the best History teacher. I have one more final in a few days, then I am done. ",
"Exactly, it's hard to get good grades when you don't have the best teachers. What subject is your next final on?",
"My last final is on English. I think I will do well, I just have to do a little more studying. Would you be willing to help me study?",
"Ah, English should be easier than History. Sure, I can help you. What do you need to do exactly? Write an essay?",
"Yeah, we have to write an essay and we have a spelling component towards the end of the exam, I sure could use a little help!",
"No problem! I like correcting and editing essays. Although, it seems like your English is pretty good. I doubt you even need much help.",
"Excellent, thank you for taking the time to help me out a little. I would like to get an A!",
"Of course, I think you can do it! Anyways, have you gone on any nice hikes recently, or you've been too busy?"

Speaker A: I heard you did really well with your finals. Congratulations!
Speaker B: Thanks! Yeah, it went better than I expected. I was really stressed though. How did your English final go?
Speaker A: It was good. Thanks to your help, I managed to score an A on the essay.
Speaker B: That's great! I'm glad I could help. So, what's next for you? Any courses lined up for the next semester?
Speaker A: I've decided to take a break next semester, focus on some extracurricular activities. I'm thinking about joining the college soccer team.
Speaker B: That sounds like a great idea. Do you play soccer often?
Speaker A: Not really, but I used to play a lot during high school. I thought it might be a good way to stay active and meet new people.
Speaker B: Definitely. Soccer is a great sport. I used to play it a lot when I was younger.
Speaker A: Oh really? Why did you stop?
Speaker B: Well, studying took priority. But I do miss it sometimes.
Speaker A: You should consider joining the team as well. It could be a fun way to blow off some steam.
Speaker B: Maybe. I'll think about it.
Speaker A: "Hey, didn't you tell me that you have a brother who also plays soccer?"

"Looking for a job at school is hard, but lucky enough my mother runs the school.",
"Lucky! Sports are great - they really show how all can work equally..",
"Yea I play soccer since I dont have any sibling.",
"Good way to socialize. Did you vote? I never vote.",
"No I didnt have a chance to vote yet. Did you?",
"No, I never vote. I'm a kind enough person, but the candidates are a bunch of jerks.",
"Yea the candidates lately has not been good enough to vote on.",
"Well, it's been great talking to you! Have a great day!",
"Have a great day! Be safe hiking."

"I just finished my hike a couple of minutes ago, and I heard from a friend that they're hosting a soccer game this Saturday. I was wondering if you were interested in joining, it seems like fun and its probably not going to be too serious.",
"How was your hike? Good I hope! Yes, that sounds great! I'd love to join in the fun.",
"it was a 5 mile hike and the trail was not managed well so it was rough but the view was great. Im hoping they fix the trail though it wasnt safe",
"Oh no! That's disappointing to hear. Glad you made it back out safe tho!",
"I think it was all the bad weather. Lots of trees down on the paths and a lot of loose rocks. Dave went with and he twisted his ankle.",
"It def. seems that way. I hope he's okay! Hopefully they'll get the path cleared for next time or either rope the path off till further notice.",
"Hes gonna be fine. He still wants to play saturday too if its not sore",
"good deal! What time are we playing Saturday?",
"3pm at the park. That way we can have lunch settle so nobody pukes.",
"Yea...we don't need that. That sounds like a good time. ",
"Make sure you bring plenty of water, they fountain there has a funny taste",

Speaker A: I'm so glad that exams are finally over. It was a stressful couple of weeks.
Speaker B: I completely understand, I've been feeling the same way too. How did your English final go?
Speaker A: I think it went better than the history exam. I wrote an essay on the influence of Shakespeare in modern literature.
Speaker B: That sounds like an interesting topic. I'm sure you did well. I'm glad I could help you with the preparation.
Speaker A: Yes, your help was invaluable. I feel more confident about my English test compared to my History one.
Speaker B: That's great to hear! Now that exams are over, have you thought about what you'd like to do with your free time?
Speaker A: Honestly, I haven't had a chance to think about it. I've been so focused on exams. But I guess I need to find something to unwind.
Speaker B: Absolutely, you deserve a break. Maybe you could take up a hobby or find something fun to do.
Speaker A: That's a good idea. I've been wanting to catch up on my reading and maybe do some outdoor activities.
Speaker B: Outdoor activities sound fun! Maybe you could go for a hike. It's a great way to relax and enjoy nature.
Speaker A: Yes, that's a good idea. I used to enjoy hiking a lot.
Speaker B: "So, you have been hiking a lot recently, right?"

"How was the beach today? Was the weather nice? ",
"It was great for most of the day, sunny and not too crowded. My daughter built a big sandcastle.",
"Aww that's great. I remember being young and loving the beach. There is endless entertainment paddling in the sea and playing with the sand. I'm so envious that you live near the beach!",
"It’s great. I could imagine not being able to go the beach whenever I wanted. I love walking and running along the water. Do you ever take trips or vacations to the beach? ",
"Luckily I do have some family that live near the coast, so every couple of years I'll spend a couple of nights with them when I get time off work. I've just started trying to run actually, my stamina is terrible at the moment. Have you been running for long?",
"That’s nice that you get to go to the coast and visit family at the same time. I stared running in high school with track. Now I just do it casually for exercise. Your stamina will build up quick.",
"I hope so, at the moment I feel like I need to stop for a break every few minutes! Naturally I'm more of a sprinter rather than a long distance runner, so I guess I just need to work at it. It's a great exercise to do though. Is running on the sand more difficult?",
"Yes it is harder to run on the sand. It takes a lot more energy, but if you run on the sand that the edge of the water where it’s wet and harder, it’s a little easier. How are your Spring break plans coming?",
"Yea that makes sense. Well done for keeping up the running, it must be hard whilst also looking after a little one! My Spring break plans are on pause at the moment, I'm a bit stuck for what to do. I might go and stay with some friends in Europe but that might be an expensive trip! Do you have any trips lined up?",
"It might not be too expensive if you have people you can stay with so you don’t have to pay for a hotel. I don’t have any trips planned but I would love to go to Greece.",
"I've never been to Greece before, are you interested in the history? I've heard that there are lots of amazing things to see there. I've only ever been to Italy in Europe but I loved it. ",
"I love learning about the Greek mythology! I went to Italy when I was younger. The food was amazing!"

"I think I might go back to Italy instead of Greece for Spring Break. Talking to you about it reminded me how much I love Italy. Do you have any recommendations for a restaurant in Italy?",
"That's awesome. Everyone also stereotypes the pizza or meatballs because it's Italy. But I recommend any restaurant that can make a good pasta. That is the key to a successful Italian restaurant. Are you going with your family?",
"No, I'm travelling there alone, but I have friends from Europe that are going to meet up with me there. If I remember right, Northern and Southern Italian food are completely different. ",
"Yes. While Southern Italian food is driven by the sea, Northern Italian food embraces the land. It really depends on what you prefer. What was your favourite part about Italy?",
"The architecture. Seeing things that have been around for a thousand years was pretty amazing. I'm a big history buff, so it really appealed to me.",
"Oh that's awesome. Did you major in History at school?",
"No, but I took a history class or two before I dropped out. I read a lot about history, though, and watch a lot of documentaries on the History Channel. I guess that only place that would be better to visit to study history would be Greece. ",
"Ah fair enough. What kind of history are you into? I really enjoy Greek mythology. I did a case study on Poseidon once.",
"Really? I don't even know what a case study is. lol! Is that like a further in-depth study? Wasn't he God of the Sea or something like that?",
"Yes, it is essentially a study based on a few accounts from all the way back in that time. I compiled that information and made a study on how he contributed to the aid of Zeus at the time. He is the God of the Sea, Earthquakes, and Horses.",
"He's a busy guy! lol! I guess I haven't ever been able to get into Greek mythology because it's just that - mythology. Real historical accounts, people, and ruins have always fascinated me much more.",
"Fair enough. I understand what you mean. I like the idea of superhuman powers. And I liked Poseidon because he had a cool trident. Is there any historical event that particularly interested you?"

"Yes I've been talking to them quite a bit so they know what's going on. I'll be staying with some of them while I'm over there. I have never been to Greece....I'd like to go though. Maybe I'll add it to my itinerary! Maybe we could plan to be in Greece at the same time?!",
"That would be so good. There is so much history and the roman statues i take my daughter to see in the museums and through our local resources is fab. She is building up the passion which is lovely to see. Have you still got your hair blue or has it grown out now?",
"That's awesome! Maybe you can teach me a little about all the mythology. I think I've never liked it before only because I didn't understand it. My hair is back to being its natural brown - lol I'm being boring for the moment.",
"Never boring you will keep styling it all sorts of interesting styles im sure. Yes i would be lovely to be your guide for the day out in Greece. Bring some decent walking boots and some sun cream, its a different heat out there but your tan is probably topped up with going to the beach each day.",
"That's good advice! Thank you! I saw on the news Cali has been getting a lot of rain. Have you still been able to run on the beach each day?",
"I've got very wet most days unfortunately but need to keep up with the exercise. Been taking to the gym to keep dry. When im not out in the surf of a morning first thing on the weekends, to avoid the crowds as you know im not too good at the surfing but its good fun. ",

Speaker B: Hi! It's been a bit of a challenge with all the rain, but I've been managing okay. Been hitting the gym more often to stay dry. How about you? How's the weather where you are?
Speaker A: It's been pretty cold here. I can't wait for Spring! By the way, have you been surfing lately?
Speaker B: Not as much as I'd like to, but I try to get out on the weekends when it's not too crowded. You should come try it out sometime!
Speaker A: I'd love to! We should definitely plan something soon. How's your daughter doing with her Greek mythology studies?
Speaker B: She's doing great! We've been diving into a lot of the old stories and legends. I think she's developing a real passion for it.
Speaker A: That's fantastic! I bet she'd love a trip to Greece to see everything in person. Do you still have plans to go?
Speaker B: I hope so, but no concrete plans yet. It would be an amazing experience for her, I'm sure.
Speaker A: Absolutely! And maybe you could be my guide? I'm still interested in adding Greece to my itinerary for my Europe trip.
Speaker B: That would be amazing! I would love to show you around and share what I've learned.

"I'm running late to a hair appointment getting ready for my birthday",
"Oh how exciting, what are you getting done to your hair?",
"Just a trim! How long have you lived in Cali by the way?",
"Oh i'm sure it'll look great. I've been here my whole life so 30 years!",
"I hope so. And wow! That's awesome. Do you ever think about moving?",
"No I love the weather and beaches here way too much! Where do you live? ",
"Indiana. Not a fan of the weather! Wish I could move to Cali. Maybe someday. Do you go to the beach often?",
"Yes, I go to the beach everyday if I can! My daughter loves to swim and play in the sand",
"Now that sounds fun! How old is your daughter?",
"She's 5! She's so lucky getting to grow up so close to the beach, we live a fifteen minute walk away. When I was growing up we lived much further away!",
"So cute. Definitely lucky! Do you ever surf or anything like that?",
"I've tried before but I'm not very good at it! Have you surfed before?"

"How was the beach today? Was the weather nice? ",
"It was great for most of the day, sunny and not too crowded. My daughter built a big sandcastle.",
"Aww that's great. I remember being young and loving the beach. There is endless entertainment paddling in the sea and playing with the sand. I'm so envious that you live near the beach!",
"It’s great. I could imagine not being able to go the beach whenever I wanted. I love walking and running along the water. Do you ever take trips or vacations to the beach? ",
"Luckily I do have some family that live near the coast, so every couple of years I'll spend a couple of nights with them when I get time off work. I've just started trying to run actually, my stamina is terrible at the moment. Have you been running for long?",
"That’s nice that you get to go to the coast and visit family at the same time. I stared running in high school with track. Now I just do it casually for exercise. Your stamina will build up quick.",
"I hope so, at the moment I feel like I need to stop for a break every few minutes! Naturally I'm more of a sprinter rather than a long distance runner, so I guess I just need to work at it. It's a great exercise to do though. Is running on the sand more difficult?",
"Yes it is harder to run on the sand. It takes a lot more energy, but if you run on the sand that the edge of the water where it’s wet and harder, it’s a little easier. How are your Spring break plans coming?",
"Yea that makes sense. Well done for keeping up the running, it must be hard whilst also looking after a little one! My Spring break plans are on pause at the moment, I'm a bit stuck for what to do. I might go and stay with some friends in Europe but that might be an expensive trip! Do you have any trips lined up?",
"It might not be too expensive if you have people you can stay with so you don’t have to pay for a hotel. I don’t have any trips planned but I would love to go to Greece.",
"I've never been to Greece before, are you interested in the history? I've heard that there are lots of amazing things to see there. I've only ever been to Italy in Europe but I loved it. ",
"I love learning about the Greek mythology! I went to Italy when I was younger. The food was amazing!"

"I think I might go back to Italy instead of Greece for Spring Break. Talking to you about it reminded me how much I love Italy. Do you have any recommendations for a restaurant in Italy?",
"That's awesome. Everyone also stereotypes the pizza or meatballs because it's Italy. But I recommend any restaurant that can make a good pasta. That is the key to a successful Italian restaurant. Are you going with your family?",
"No, I'm travelling there alone, but I have friends from Europe that are going to meet up with me there. If I remember right, Northern and Southern Italian food are completely different. ",
"Yes. While Southern Italian food is driven by the sea, Northern Italian food embraces the land. It really depends on what you prefer. What was your favourite part about Italy?",
"The architecture. Seeing things that have been around for a thousand years was pretty amazing. I'm a big history buff, so it really appealed to me.",
"Oh that's awesome. Did you major in History at school?",
"No, but I took a history class or two before I dropped out. I read a lot about history, though, and watch a lot of documentaries on the History Channel. I guess that only place that would be better to visit to study history would be Greece. ",
"Ah fair enough. What kind of history are you into? I really enjoy Greek mythology. I did a case study on Poseidon once.",
"Really? I don't even know what a case study is. lol! Is that like a further in-depth study? Wasn't he God of the Sea or something like that?",
"Yes, it is essentially a study based on a few accounts from all the way back in that time. I compiled that information and made a study on how he contributed to the aid of Zeus at the time. He is the God of the Sea, Earthquakes, and Horses.",
"He's a busy guy! lol! I guess I haven't ever been able to get into Greek mythology because it's just that - mythology. Real historical accounts, people, and ruins have always fascinated me much more.",
"Fair enough. I understand what you mean. I like the idea of superhuman powers. And I liked Poseidon because he had a cool trident. Is there any historical event that particularly interested you?"

"How is your daughter doing? Have you tried sharing your love of Greek mythology with her?",
"Hi there, hope you are wlll and managing to save up for your Italy trip? Thank for asking about the Greek mythology study, we are doing very well. It helps because i am so passionate about it and hope to get to the Greek islands soon",
"Yes I have been saving up for another trip to Italy! I can't wait. It's planned for next Spring. Do you have any plans to go back to Italy in the future?",
"I would love to get back to Italy but need to save up and the hopeful priority is to Greece this year. You have friends in Europe are you in contact to see what plans you can make?",
"Yes I've been talking to them quite a bit so they know what's going on. I'll be staying with some of them while I'm over there. I have never been to Greece....I'd like to go though. Maybe I'll add it to my itinerary! Maybe we could plan to be in Greece at the same time?!",
"That would be so good. There is so much history and the roman statues i take my daughter to see in the museums and through our local resources is fab. She is building up the passion which is lovely to see. Have you still got your hair blue or has it grown out now?",
"That's awesome! Maybe you can teach me a little about all the mythology. I think I've never liked it before only because I didn't understand it. My hair is back to being its natural brown - lol I'm being boring for the moment.",
"Never boring you will keep styling it all sorts of interesting styles im sure. Yes i would be lovely to be your guide for the day out in Greece. Bring some decent walking boots and some sun cream, its a different heat out there but your tan is probably topped up with going to the beach each day.",
"That's good advice! Thank you! I saw on the news Cali has been getting a lot of rain. Have you still been able to run on the beach each day?",
"I've got very wet most days unfortunately but need to keep up with the exercise. Been taking to the gym to keep dry. When im not out in the surf of a morning first thing on the weekends, to avoid the crowds as you know im not too good at the surfing but its good fun. ",
"That's great you've kept your routine though! I want to learn to surf someday!!!",
"Lets do it!! Gives me a chance to check out your new car also. Is it a sporty one? Lots to catch up on but this has been fun hun"

Speaker A: Hey there! How have you been keeping up with your exercise routine? Still making use of the gym?
Speaker B: Yeah, I'm still at it! Trying to keep fit. I've actually started taking some yoga classes too. It's pretty fun. How about you? Still dreaming of surfing?
Speaker A: Yes, I am! But I've taken up swimming for now. It's great cardio and it will help when I finally take up surfing, right?
Speaker B: Absolutely! Swimming is great preparation for surfing. You'll be riding the waves in no time.
Speaker A: That sounds exciting! Also, remember our conversation about Greek mythology? I've started reading some books about it. I must say, it's quite fascinating!
Speaker B: That's great! I'm glad you're finding it interesting. There's so much depth and history to it, it's really captivating.
Speaker A: I agree. It's been a wonderful experience delving into it. By the way, have you had a chance to get to Greece?
Speaker B: Not yet, unfortunately. Saving up and planning it out. Hopefully, I'll be able to go next year. What about your Italy trip?
Speaker A: It's on track! I'm excited about it. And who knows, maybe I might take a detour to Greece as well.
Speaker B: That sounds like a fantastic plan! We should definitely catch up when you're in Europe.
Speaker A: Absolutely! It'll be great fun. Speaking of which, how's your daughter? Is she still interested in the Greek mythology?
Speaker B: Yes, she is! We've been reading together and it's been a wonderful bonding experience for us.

"I meant to ask you who your favorite country singers are. Do you like the old or newer country music?",
"I like the older country must. Mostly, because it's what I grew up listening to. A lot of the newer music sounds more like pop music. I like Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw and Darius Rucker. Do you listen to country? ",
"Not very much, but an older lady in the city I grew up in used to listen to it when she watched us neighborhood kids in the '90s, so I am very familiar with Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, and others. Darius Rucker I mainly only know from Hootie and the Blowfish. Do you like any other kinds of music?",
"I do. I enjoy rock and metal. My partner is in a rock band, so lately I've been listening to a lot, especially when driving.",
"That is wonderful. I love rock. I like some metal but I have never been able to get into death metal. Does your partner sing or play an instrument in the band?",

"I'm going to try a new recipe tonight. Want to hear about it?",
"I'd love to, but you're gonna have to explain to me how things work because as you know, I'm not a cook at all!",
"No problem. I am planning to make dahl using a pressure cooker to ensure the lentils are soft and delicate. Then make a pilaf rice and some tandoori chicken. I wish I had a tandoor though. ",
"What a tandoor? Is it similar to a pressure cooker?",
"No, a tandoor is a special type of oven which they use in India to make tandoori chicken. It helps give it its flavour. It is made from clay.",
"Oh I see! I've never used a pressure cooker before. Does it cook other things other than lentils? I hear it makes the cooking go much faster.",
"Yes, you can do lots of things in pressure cookers like stews and soups. Most of the time, I use it to soften meat. I love putting my lamb shanks in there. It makes the meat fall right off the bone. Do you have a pressure cooker?",
"I don't, but hearing what you're saying makes me want to purchase one for my husband. He's an avid cook but sometimes that makes the cooking process a lot longer than I want!",
"I would recommend a pressure cooker. It is a great item for beginner cooks. You throw it all in, pop the lid on and wait for the whistle really. I gave one to my sister for Christmas and she uses more often than me now.",

"Yes I agree. You could let your husband do all the fancy sides while you take care of the main item in the pressure cooker. What recipes does your husband like to do?",
"He likes to cook asian food. Lots of prep work. But I'm a big fan of the end results most of the time!"

"Does it have eggs in it? We grow our own eggs so that might be the perfect starting point.",

"The rice tends to stick together if it's warm. I would like to ride along with you sometime when you're able.",
"I actually have a scheduled haul for next Wednesday. Do you want to come along for that ride? It should take about five hours.",

Speaker A: So, how was your haul last Wednesday? Did everything go smoothly?
Speaker B: Actually, it wasn't as smooth as I would have liked. There were a couple of hiccups along the way.
Speaker A: Oh no! What happened?
Speaker B: There was a bit of confusion with the timing and the load wasn't ready when I arrived. I had to wait around for a while.
Speaker A: That sounds frustrating. Did it delay your whole schedule?
Speaker B: Yes, it did. I was late for my next pick-up. But, it's part of the job. Sometimes things don't go as planned.
Speaker A: That's true. It's the same with cooking too. Sometimes the dish doesn't turn out the way we want it to.
Speaker B: Yes, you're right. Even with the best recipes, sometimes things don't work out.
Speaker A: Speaking of recipes, have you tried any new ones recently?
Speaker B: Not yet. I still have that list you gave me. Just haven't found the time to try them out.

Speaker A: Hey, I was thinking about that shrimp fried rice recipe we discussed. Have you given it a go yet?
Speaker B: Yes, I did! My husband loved it. It was surprisingly simple to prepare.
Speaker A: I'm glad to hear that! Cooking can be really enjoyable, isn't it?
Speaker B: Absolutely. I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Do you cook often?
Speaker A: Yes, I do. Actually, I've been cooking and baking since I was young. It's something that I really love doing.
Speaker B: So, it's more than just a hobby for you?
Speaker A: Yes, definitely. In fact, I've been thinking about turning it into a business.
Speaker B: Really? That's impressive! What kind of a business are you considering?
Speaker A: Well, I'm still hashing out the details, but I'm considering starting a catering service or maybe even opening a small restaurant.
Speaker B: That sounds fantastic! You definitely have the skills for it.
Speaker A: Thank you! I'm really excited about the idea. I just hope that my love for cooking will translate into a successful business.

Speaker A: How have you been doing recently, B? I hope you're taking care of your emotional wellbeing.
Speaker B: I'm doing alright, A. Been trying to practice self-care and all that. It's not always easy, you know?
Speaker A: I completely understand. Self-care is a continuous process, and some days are definitely harder than others.
Speaker B: Yeah, and on those harder days I find comfort in food. It's my way of dealing with things.
Speaker A: That's not necessarily a bad thing. Food can be a great source of comfort, but it's important to balance it with nutritional needs.
Speaker B: You're right. I've been trying to include more vegetables in my diet. You mentioned something before about their healing properties.
Speaker A: Yes, incorporating a variety of colored vegetables into your diet can provide many essential vitamins and minerals. They can also help boost your mood and overall emotional health.
Speaker B: That sounds promising. I remember you saying something about certain people needing to avoid certain types of vegetables. What was that about?
Speaker A: Ah, you're referring to nightshades. Some people can be sensitive to them and could experience inflammation or other adverse effects. It's all about listening to your body and understanding what works best for you.
Speaker B: I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the advice, A.
Speaker A: Of course, B. If you ever need any recommendations or advice, feel free to ask. By the way, have you tried sushi yet?
Speaker B: No, not yet. I'm still building up the courage to try it.
Speaker A: "Hey, remember when we went salsa dancing together last weekend?"

Speaker A: Have you seen any new movies recently? I've been rewatching some of my old favorites and looking for new ones.
Speaker B: No, I haven't had much time for movies lately. I've been mostly reading books in my free time. Have you seen anything worth recommending?
Speaker A: Well, if you're into Marvel, there's a whole series of movies that are really entertaining.
Speaker B: Marvel, huh? I don't think I've watched many of their films.
Speaker A: Oh, they're great! They're full of action, and the characters are really well developed.
Speaker B: That sounds interesting. Who are some of the characters?
Speaker A: Well, there's Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and Black Widow, to name a few. They all have their own standalone movies, but they also come together in the Avengers series.
Speaker B: Black Widow, that sounds familiar. Is there a movie about her?
Speaker A: Yes, there is. But it's better if you watch the Avengers movies first, as her story is a bit of a continuation from there.
Speaker B: Hmm, I'll have to check them out. What's your favorite Marvel movie?
Speaker A: That's a tough choice, but I think the Avengers movies hold a special place in my heart.
Speaker B: "Didn't you tell me once that you're a big fan of the Avengers movies?"

Speaker B: "Didn't you tell me once that you're a big fan of the Avengers movies?"

Speaker A: I've been thinking about what you said about the indoor garden. I'm warming up to the idea of having a plum tree in my living room.
Speaker B: That's great! Remember, the lifespan of the tree depends on how well you take care of it.
Speaker A: I know, you mentioned it could live up to 20 years with proper care. That's a big commitment.
Speaker B: Yes, but it's definitely worth it. The tree will bring such a unique atmosphere to your home.
Speaker A: I agree. I've been doing some research on indoor gardening. I even found a great fertilizer to use.
Speaker B: Excellent! Just remember to avoid bringing bugs into your home. They won't help the plants at all.
Speaker A: I remember that advice too. I've decided to start the project after the school year ends, so I can devote more time to it.
Speaker B: That sounds like a good plan. It's nice to see you so enthusiastic about this.
Speaker A: It's all thanks to you. By the way, I've been practicing a new song on my clarinet. You should come over and hear it sometime.
Speaker B: I'd love that. I'm curious to see how your musical skills have developed alongside your gardening interest.
Speaker A: Well, it's all about balance, right? Speaking of balance, how's your teleportation machine coming along?

"You have surely kept up with the quite small thermal nuclear generators the Chinese are working on? Our solar investment is now making enough energy to make our office building carbon neutral.",
"There have been astonishing advances. We really need a Manhattan Project for alternative energy if we are to have a chance against the Chinese. ",
"So true! The political and economic ramifications of energy availability need to address the good of all society and all living things, not just money making.",
"It would be great if energy were available the way that water is. People could collect it on their own and provide it to others should the need arise. Redundancy and distribution is the key to energy independence."

"I am excited to see what the next developments in nuclear energy are, I've been reading about some fusion experiments lately.",
"There is always so much knowledge to gain. What do you think the possibilities are in nuclear energy?",
"Well, hopefully it will get us to space some day. I love the thought of exploring space, how about you?",
"Space exploration is interesting. They have done some extensive experiments with plant science which is right up my alley. The fuels they use to get there are a concern tho.",
"Ideally, you'd want something that was solar powered, but I don't think we'll ever get there for space travel. Maybe, who knows?",
"My telportation machine has given me a new insight into the possibilities. I know they are talking about taking the public up in to space. Does that interest you?",
"Sort of. Right now it's all over the place. I wouldn't want Elon Musk to send me up there. He'd probably have some elaborate death puzzles up there like in the Saw movies. He's nuts.",
"Oh my! Yes! His ideas are out there! But sometimes that's what it takes. I think I would be interested in a journey to Mars. I'm not saying I want to be the first, but I'd like to be on the list!",
"I'd definitely enjoy watching that. Yeah, I guess I respect the man, I'",
"He has definitely made a profit off of several people. I'm hoping in the future technology and inovation touch more lives. I'm sure your parents who are teachers appreciate that! ",
"They definitely would. I just wish I could do something about these fat fingers! I can barely type! I think I'm gaining too much weight.",
"Ahhh...the dreaded weight gain!! I hear you! I spend so much time at my computer I've gotten a little bigger around the waist. Time to work in my garden more."

"What plants do you think would be able to survive a space trip best?",
"Hmmm, maybe the weeds growing in my backyard, haha. Those things are impossible to kill, and I bet they could survive a space trip.",
"You are probably right! They need so little water and sun that you think they might be ideal for space!",
"Definitely! I was only being half serious about that, but the more I think about it, the more I think it could actually work.",
"You are the expert! Does plant (or weed) science include the impacts of music? Like, how does a plant respond to Beethoven's 5th Symphony?",
"I guess there's no reason why it wouldn't, but I don't think that's an orthodox branch of research, either. So unfortunately, I don't know the answer to that--though I'd like to find out too!",
"You would be able to kill two birds with one stone since you love both! How is your garden looking? I imagine it is just huge.",
"My garden's doing pretty well! Recently I planted a few fruit trees and grew a lettuce plant! I'm excited for the upcoming harvest.",
"I bet. I just don't have a green thumb, unless you count those \"space\" weeds. Lol",
"Haha! I guess I could count those space weeds! Now, if only some spaceflight company would be willing to rocket a few random weeds into space...",

"IN MY HOME?! A TREE? That was not at all what I was thinking. Do they grow well indoors? I am intrigued. ",
"Well if you want to make it like a proper garden experience then I would suggest going all in, and go for the best most authentic looking items you could get ",
"Wow! Ok! This is sounding like a bigger undertaking! Should I embrace bugs in the home if they help the plants or am I getting wild?",
"Well from my experince bugs do the complete opposite and don't help at all, so avoid that at all costs! Fertilizers are the way to go to help with growth.",
"Oh man. I have lots to learn. What is the lifespan of a plum tree?",
"around 10 to 15 years but if you take care of them I'm sure you could get 20 out of it.",
"Now we are also talking commitment! This is not how I expected my day to go! I am excited, yet so nervous! ",
"It doesn't take too much time to do per day so after school give it a little water and that should keep them in great way. Speaking off school how are you getting on?",
"Ok! I am putting my fate in your hands on this one. School is fine. I don't really pay attention to anything except band class.",

Speaker A: Hey, remember that indoor garden I was planning? I've made some progress on it.
Speaker B: That's great! How's it going?
Speaker A: Well, it's been a journey! I've planted a plum tree and a pear tree like you suggested.
Speaker B: Wow, that's impressive! How are they doing?
Speaker A: They're doing well. I've been taking good care of them. I've also started some fusion experiments.
Speaker B: Fusion experiments? That sounds intriguing!
Speaker A: Yeah, I'm trying to fuse different types of plants to create new varieties. It's kind of like space exploration, but with plants.
Speaker B: That sounds fascinating! How's that going?
Speaker A: It's a slow process, but I'm learning a lot. It's almost like I'm exploring new territories.
Speaker B: And what about your school? You still spending most of your time in band class?
Speaker A: Oh, for sure. Band class is the highlight of my day. Sometimes I even fantasize about sneaking aboard a spaceflight and playing my clarinet in space.
Speaker B: That's quite a dream! So, you are not really interested in space exploration, are you?
|
Speaker B: "So, you are not really interested in space exploration, are you?"
|
Speaker A: "On the contrary, I am indeed interested in space exploration. I've even mentioned fusion experiments and the idea of solar-powered space travel, though I'm doubtful about its feasibility. I've also joked about sneaking aboard a spaceflight and expressed a desire to see space."

Speaker A: That's fantastic. It's so important to have that bonding time, especially while they're still young.
Speaker B: Absolutely. It's one of the reasons I need to stay in my current job. Stability is key right now.
Speaker A: I understand that. It's essential to have a steady job when you're raising a family.
Speaker B: Exactly. As much as I contemplate about other career options, my child's needs come first.

"Oh yes. I love Italian food so I was in heaven. My favorite restaurants were small family owned places with fresh homemade pasta. It seems like you meet a lot of really interesting people at the hospital. Hopefully I can volunteer there again soon, too! ",
"Oh yeah, I've met a ton of interesting people volunteering! I'm sure you've met quite a few interesting people too from all the countries you've visited?",

"I tried the origami Lotus that you suggested. It turned it out great.",

"I learned it by myself in my craft room, I made it our fav color. I wish I could visit where they were originally created.",
"Oh, nice. Do you mean you want to go to Japan? What's stopping you?",
"Well my first plan is to go to italy, did you have any trouble with japans customs?",

"In a few weeks I'll have more time. Maybe we could try then. What's the easiest thing to start with?",
"Well something like a cup is super easy, other things require cutting the paper.I haven't tried that many, but we can try some together",
"That sounds like a great idea. I would really like to make origami animals. It think it'd be cute. Are those hard to make?",
"Well it depend on if you're talking about just their heads or if you want to make their whole body, I think the heads are easier.",
"I would prefer to make their whole bodies, just a head seems a bit weird. Do you think it'd be too advanced for me?"

"I won a 3rd Place prize in an origami contest!! It's just a ribbon and $25 gift certificate, but I'm excited that I can add this to my CV/resume.",
"Wow, that's amazing! Congratulations! Yes, prize amount aside, that's still an amazing accomplishment. ",
"Yea, I'm upset that I didn't get 1st Place but 3rd Place is still good! Do you plan on trying origami soon?",
"Yes, I'd love for you to teach me when we have a little more time to get together. I'm impressed by people who can just take a piece of paper or cloth and turn it into a masterpiece just by folding it. I've heard people say it's easier than it looks and I've heard people say it's harder than it looks. What do you think?",
"It depends on what you are trying to make out of origami, you can make some super complicated stuff, there's actually special paper that you can get for it! You may have seen origami be used in the hospital for some breathing aperatus!",
"That's amazing. I had no idea, but that totally makes sense. Do you have to practice a lot -- sort of a use it or lose it kind of thing?",
"Yea, I think for the more complicated origami it's kind of a use it or lose it but for the simple stuff you can usually take a couple months of and still remember to do it! Did you see origami in Japan?",
"Not up close, but I noticed a lot in shop windows in certain areas. I love Japan -- they're so welcoming. One of our acquaintances GAVE me a kimono. She said it's customary to try to share their culture. Kind of different from America in my opinion. ",
"Oh, that sounds wonderful. It's impressive how much things that came from there and how giving a culture they are. America is definetly a lot different from them, have you visted different states in America?",
"Oh yes. I live in North Carolina, but I've been to almost every state. Alaska was by far my favorite, but I'm kind of a loner and it feels like a lot of people there are, so maybe I just relate. But the scenery and landscapes are unbelievably beautiful. What's your favorite place you've been to?",
"I just visited Italy recently, it was much better than I had first anticipated, similar to Alaska with all the landscapes and scenery! Now I'm planning to go to Japan, do you have any recommendations on what to do there?",
"The Italian countryside is so incredible! In Japan I'd say to definitely get one of those guides so you can narrow down what you'd like to see. There's so much history and art there. I can let you borrow my guide book if you like!"

Speaker A: I finally got around to planning my trip to Japan! I've started looking at some of the places I want to visit, like the historic castles and temples.
Speaker B: That sounds fantastic! I'm sure you'll have an amazing time. Japan has a rich cultural heritage that's really fascinating to explore.
Speaker A: Yes, I've heard so much about their traditions and customs. By the way, could I take you up on your offer to borrow your guide book?
Speaker B: Of course! I'll bring it next time we meet. It has great information about the places to visit, the local cuisine and, of course, their unique art forms.
Speaker A: That's exactly what I need. I'm especially interested in learning more about their art forms. We've talked about origami, but I know there's so much more.
Speaker B: There definitely is. From ikebana, the art of flower arranging, to ukiyo-e, the woodblock prints, you'll find a wide range of unique art forms.
Speaker A: I'm eager to learn about all of that. I remember you mentioning that you received a kimono during your visit. That must have been quite an experience!
Speaker B: Yes, it was. The kimono is a significant part of their culture and to receive one as a gift was an honor. They really go out of their way to share their culture with guests.
Speaker A: That's wonderful. I hope I can experience something like that too. I'm also thinking of attending a tea ceremony. I've heard that's a unique experience.
Speaker B: Oh definitely, a tea ceremony is a must. It's a beautiful ritual and you'll get to see how much importance they place on every detail.
Speaker A: I'm looking forward to that. And, speaking of origami, "Did you get to make your own origami when you visited Japan?"
|
Speaker A: "Did you get to make your own origami when you visited Japan?"
|
Speaker B: "No, I didn't make any origami when I was in Japan. I did receive a turquoise lotus origami though."

"No, I decided to take the day off. I'm planning to go on long runs the next two days though. Did you have a chance to paint today?",
"No, like you I have been too busy. The weather has been beautiful so I worked in the garden today. Tomorrow I will be volunteering at the hospital so it will be next week before I can paint again.",
"That's great that you're finding time to volunteer though! Do you have much growing in the garden yet?",
"A few things are started but not producing yet. How about you...do you like to garden?",
"Not much. Sometimes I get too busy with traveling to feel like I garden much. That said, some of the gardens I've visited across the world have been beautiful. Have you ever worked at a community garden?",
"No I haven't worked in any community gardens. By the way, you mentioned your favorite color is turquoise...mine too. I am in my craft room right now and that's the color it is painted.",
"I'm a huge fan of turquoise! The outside of my house is painted that color. What are you working on in the craft room?",
"I just have a few things I am painting. Need to get them finished up next week.",
"Cool. I would love to get a studio room in my house where I could practice my singing, but I can't afford it yet. Speaking of which, have you looked at any new cars?",
"Heck no! The way prices are right now, I'll be lucky to ever get a new car. You?",
"Not really, I might get a car for some situations but I'm trying to do as much as I can just with running and biking. "

"How was volunteering at the hospital?",
"It was good! I'm glad you recommended I try it. Have you made any new crafts lately?",
"Yeah I did! I actually made some really nice origami. I made a 3D modular swan! It needed a bit of glue, but it looks really nice! ",
"Oh cool! I have never tried origami but I saw it when I was abroad. Do you think you will try to make more shapes? ",
"Yeah for sure! I don't know what I'm gonna make next yet, but I'll let you know! Did you seem them in Japan?",
"Yes I did! A small shop was selling pieces of origami. I bought a turquoise lotus and was actually able to get it home on the plane intact. I keep it on my desk. Maybe you can try making a lotus next!",
"Oh wow that sounds nice! For sure, I'll see what I can do, haha. Do you have a favorite country you've visited?",
"Ooh that's a tough question. I really enjoyed Italy. I spent a lot of time there visiting museums. If you are ever able to visit I think you would love it. There are artists everywhere selling one of a kind pieces of work. ",
"Wow, I'm sure it must have been a great experience! I would love to visit there someday. I met someone at the hospital I volunteer at who visited Italy, and they sound they visited some really nice art museums and restaurants. Did you go to any nice restaurants while you were there? ",
"Oh yes. I love Italian food so I was in heaven. My favorite restaurants were small family owned places with fresh homemade pasta. It seems like you meet a lot of really interesting people at the hospital. Hopefully I can volunteer there again soon, too! ",
"Oh yeah, I've met a ton of interesting people volunteering! I'm sure you've met quite a few interesting people too from all the countries you've visited?",
"That's true, but unfortunately it is a bit hard to keep in touch with people from my travels. I would imagine that volunteering at the hospital helps you meet a lot of local people. I travel so often that I don't really know too many people in town!"

Speaker A: Did you pick up any Japanese before your trip to Japan?
Speaker B: Not really, just a few basic phrases. I found that a lot of people spoke English, so it wasn't a problem.
Speaker A: That's good to know. I'm a little nervous about the language barrier.
Speaker B: You'll be fine. People were very helpful and patient with me.
Speaker A: That's reassuring. How about the food, did you enjoy it?
Speaker B: Oh yes, the food was amazing! I love sushi, so I was in heaven. But there's so much more to Japanese cuisine.
Speaker A: I'm looking forward to trying it all. How about the travel, was it easy to get around?
Speaker B: Yes, the public transportation is efficient and well-organized. I used the trains a lot.
Speaker A: That's a relief. I've heard that the train system there is top-notch.
Speaker B: Absolutely, it's one of the best in the world. I also visited a lot of temples, they are beautiful and serene.
Speaker A: That sounds wonderful. I can't wait to experience it all.
Speaker B: You'll have a great time, I'm sure. I can't wait to hear about your trip.
Speaker A: Thanks, I'm really looking forward to it.
Speaker B: I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time. So, you've already been to Japan before going to Italy, right?

"I actually just watched I-SPY with Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson from 2002, it's also hilarious and I recommend it.",
"That would be a great team-up! Eddie Murphy has teamed up so well with a lot of actors. I had high hopes for the movie he was in with DeNiro, but I was disappointed.",
"Are you talking about Showtime? I'm surprised. Eddie Murphy was a cop in Beverly Hills trilogy which was hilarious, and he's a cop in this film. How can it not be funny!?"

"Yeah it was great and I will also recommend to people when they ask what movie is good. So next is another one you recommended which is coming to America. What’s the next movie your going to watch? ",
"There is a horror genre movie that was released just this week which I'm going to watch tonight. It is called \"Girl Next.\"",
"Oh that sounds interesting, I will look into that and put it on my list. How has your job been going? Is there where you get all these great ideas for what to watch? ",
"My Film Studies professor job has been going absolutely great lately. I love all my students, because they really get into the lectures and ask lots of questions. Yes, my job requires me to watch movies all the time, so that is how I find the best ones. Is your programmer job going all right lately?",
"That sounds amazing. Super lucky to have students that really enjoy what they are learning about and I’m sure that’s down to the way you teach and what you teach them. I’m so glad it is all going well for you. Yeah it is going much better now, I’m really getting in the swing of things thank you for asking. ",
"You're welcome. So, returning to the subject of Pulp Fiction, did you think it was funny? Did you think it was too violent for kids to watch?",
"Yeah there was some funny parts in that movie. I kinda think it may be a little to violent for kids, but I would just allow it to each parent to decide I would probably let my grandkids watch. What is your opinion? ",
"I agree with you. As long as the parent can explain what's going on regarding the violence, and make sure the kid knows it is just a movie and not real life, I think most kids would be able to watch the movie without really being harmed or negatively influenced.",
"Yes exactly. I think all kids should learn that. I know my grandkids love to watch all genre’s of movies and I think kids should learn what they like to watch. ",
"Yes. There comes a time in every kid's life when he will want to watch movies other than Bambi or Snow White, right?"

Speaker A: Hi there! So, I watched "Coming to America". It was hilarious! I enjoyed it a lot.
Speaker B: I knew you would! It's a classic, isn't it? So, what's the next movie on your list?
Speaker A: Well, I have "The Girl Next" on my list. I'm not a big fan of horror movies, but since you recommended it, I'm going to give it a try.
Speaker B: I think you'll find it's not just your typical horror movie, there's a lot more to it. Speaking of recommendations, how is your programming job going? Is it still going well?
Speaker A: Yes, it's going really well. I’m getting a hang of it now. Thanks for asking. How about your Film Studies professor job?
Speaker B: It’s going great. My students are still very engaged and I'm enjoying it a lot. So, was there a character from "Coming to America" that stood out to you?
Speaker A: Yeah, Prince Akeem was quite a character, his transition from a royal to a commoner was really interesting. Who's your favorite character from the movie?
Speaker B: I would say Semmi. He's quite the comic relief in the movie. Speaking of movies, did your grandkids like "Coming to America"?
Speaker A: They found it quite amusing. But they're more into animated movies.
Speaker B: Yeah, kids usually are. But they'll grow out of it eventually.

"Exactly! Peppercorns, chips. You and I have a lot in common. Ever tried wagyu?",
"I haven't; would you recommend?",
"I've only had it once before and it was lovely! But I'd really love to live the life of a top of the range wagyu cow!"

"Settling down now and thinking of watching a movie. I'm leaning towards Pulp Fiction, have you ever seen it?",
"Oh yes. It's a classic. It has so many great actors and actresses. The whole movie is amazing. Have you seen it before?",
"No, I haven't. I think Uma Thurman looks so exotic though. It just sounds like a very unique kind of movie. I'm not sure why I've never watched it before.",
"Wow! I don't want to make you feel too bad for not seeing it after all this time. But I must encourage you to go see it as soon as possible! I can't spoil it for you. You'll love it!",
"Thank you! With your background, I bet you have a lot of great suggestions for movies, some of them fairly off the beaten path. I'll have to rely upon you for suggestions I think! ",
"If you want more suggestions, just let me know! Just tell me what kind of movie you're looking for and I'll give you suggestions!",
"I like all types of movies really. It mostly depends on the mood I'm in at the time. I'm almost always in the mood for a good comedy though!",
"Well then you gotta check out Coming 2 America! It has Eddie Murphy in it. I'd recommend seeing the Coming to America first if you haven't seen it. But the second one was just released within the year and is very funny!",
"I did see the first one and I loved it! I didn't realize there was a sequel! I definitely have to put that on my list! ",
"I actually just watched I-SPY with Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson from 2002, it's also hilarious and I recommend it.",
"That would be a great team-up! Eddie Murphy has teamed up so well with a lot of actors. I had high hopes for the movie he was in with DeNiro, but I was disappointed.",
"Are you talking about Showtime? I'm surprised. Eddie Murphy was a cop in Beverly Hills trilogy which was hilarious, and he's a cop in this film. How can it not be funny!?"

"Okay, so, I watched Pulp Fiction, and I loved it! Thank you for the recommendation.",
"Of course. I recommend that movie to everyone I meet. I think I've watched it over one hundred times. So what is the next movie on your list to watch soon?",
"Yeah it was great and I will also recommend to people when they ask what movie is good. So next is another one you recommended which is coming to America. What’s the next movie your going to watch? ",
"There is a horror genre movie that was released just this week which I'm going to watch tonight. It is called \"Girl Next.\"",
"Oh that sounds interesting, I will look into that and put it on my list. How has your job been going? Is there where you get all these great ideas for what to watch? ",
"My Film Studies professor job has been going absolutely great lately. I love all my students, because they really get into the lectures and ask lots of questions. Yes, my job requires me to watch movies all the time, so that is how I find the best ones. Is your programmer job going all right lately?",
"That sounds amazing. Super lucky to have students that really enjoy what they are learning about and I’m sure that’s down to the way you teach and what you teach them. I’m so glad it is all going well for you. Yeah it is going much better now, I’m really getting in the swing of things thank you for asking. ",
"You're welcome. So, returning to the subject of Pulp Fiction, did you think it was funny? Did you think it was too violent for kids to watch?",
"Yeah there was some funny parts in that movie. I kinda think it may be a little to violent for kids, but I would just allow it to each parent to decide I would probably let my grandkids watch. What is your opinion? ",
"I agree with you. As long as the parent can explain what's going on regarding the violence, and make sure the kid knows it is just a movie and not real life, I think most kids would be able to watch the movie without really being harmed or negatively influenced.",
"Yes exactly. I think all kids should learn that. I know my grandkids love to watch all genre’s of movies and I think kids should learn what they like to watch. ",
"Yes. There comes a time in every kid's life when he will want to watch movies other than Bambi or Snow White, right?"

Speaker A: I've been thinking about something.
Speaker B: Oh? What's that?
Speaker A: It's about the movie ratings and their purpose. Do you think they are accurate?
Speaker B: They serve as a general guideline, but I think it ultimately depends on individual interpretation and cultural context. A movie rated PG-13 in America could be rated differently in other countries.
Speaker A: That's true. But, don't you think there are instances where the rating seems unfitting for the movie content?
Speaker B: Absolutely, there are discrepancies at times. But remember, it's just a guideline. Determining what's appropriate viewing for children is largely up to the discretion of parents or guardians.
Speaker A: Speaking of which, I remember when we discussed Pulp Fiction and whether it was suitable for kids.
Speaker B: Right, we had quite an interesting debate on that. It's all about understanding the context and how to communicate that to the young audience.
Speaker A: I agree. And it's key to remember that they're just movies at the end of the day.
Speaker B: Exactly, and that's something every kid should be taught. Movies are a form of art and should be appreciated as such, not taken as a blueprint for real life.
Speaker A: Couldn't agree more. By the way, have you seen any good movies lately?
Speaker B: Well, I recently re-watched 'Showtime' with Eddie Murphy and DeNiro. It's an old one but still a good watch.
Speaker A: Showtime, huh?
Speaker B: "You really loved the movie 'Showtime' starring Eddie Murphy and DeNiro, didn't you?"
|
Speaker B: "You really loved the movie 'Showtime' starring Eddie Murphy and DeNiro, didn't you?"
|
Speaker A: "No, that's not accurate. I was actually disappointed with the movie 'Showtime'."

Speaker A: I have been thinking about getting myself a drone. Do you have any suggestions on what to look for?
Speaker B: Well, it really depends on what you want to do with it. If it’s for photography, you’ll want good camera specs. If it’s for fun, look for ones with good maneuverability.
Speaker A: I'm just looking for a drone for recreational use. Nothing fancy, just want to have some fun.
Speaker B: In that case, you might want to consider getting a drone with a good flight time and easy control.
Speaker A: That sounds like a good idea. I also heard about drones that can carry a certain amount of weight. Is that true?
Speaker B: Yes, that's definitely possible. Some drones are strong enough to carry small items.
Speaker A: That's awesome. Maybe I should look into those as well.
Speaker B: Sure, but remember the heavier the load, the shorter the flight time. So you might need extra batteries.
Speaker A: That's a good point. I will keep that in mind.
Speaker B: Also, check the local laws about drone flying, some places require certain permissions or have restrictions.
Speaker A: I'll definitely look into that. Thank you for your advice.
Speaker B: No problem, happy flying!

"I definitely am. How are you enjoying it?",

"Did you play any Resident Evil this week?",
"I sure did. There was a storm nearby and it was raining for the last three days. Perfect weather for staying in my room playing RE. How about you?",
"I don't like playing scary video games but I did play a little bit. The weather was very stormy here as well, so I decided to stay in and mess around to look for something to play. I like everything but scary games but can't decide on what to play next. Do you have any suggestions?",
"Unfortunately I mainly play games similar to RE. I don't know why I like them so much. I remember when I was little my brother play Doom and it gave me nightmares for a week. What genre of games you like?",
"I like all kinds of games. I like party, fighting, RPGs, shooters, action, adventure, and puzzle games. I enjoy playing Jurassic Park: World but I'd like to find another game to play. The storm means I'll be inside for a bit, so I think I'll curl up with some pizza and just zone out. Do you like to do anything else besides game when it's rainy?",
"Well, I might help around the house with cleaning or laundry, but not that much. Mostly gaming. If I feel I sat too long, I'll switch to Nintendo Switch's Ring Fit Adventure to get my body moving a bit. Do yo know that game?",
"I've heard of it. I think I need to get some exercise, so that might be a good idea. I'd like to stay in shape as much as I can. I guess games are the best way to do that! That's a good suggestion. How about you? Do you only like games like RE? What other genres do you like?",
"I like fighting too, but not RPG types. I tried racing games before, but clearly not good at it so I'm not enjoying them that much. ",
"Maybe when you get the chance, we should play an online game together. I'm not a competitive person. I mainly play games for fun and I don't care if I win or lose. What do you think?",
"Sure! Do you have any suggestion for the game? I also not that competitive, which probably is the reason why I don't enjoy RPG types that much with all their groups and clans and ranks. I always thought RPG players are all these serious gamers.",
"Maybe we can a play fighting game like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. It's a good way to pass the time. I've always wanted to learn martial arts myself. Ha!",
"Those are good ideas! I'm in! If I learn martial arts, I think my family will bet on how fast I give up. LOL."

Speaker A: Hey, how have you been? Still playing Resident Evil?
Speaker B: Hey! Yeah, still on it. But I've been trying out some other games too. How about you?
Speaker A: I've been playing some fighting games lately, thinking about the ones we talked about last time. Have you tried any?
Speaker B: I've tried a few, but I'm still not very good at them. I guess I should stick with the ones I know.
Speaker A: Nah, where's the fun in that? Trying new things is part of the excitement.
Speaker B: True, I did enjoy trying out new types of games.
Speaker A: Have you thought about any other hobbies to pick up?
Speaker B: Well, I have been thinking about trying out some outdoor activities, like hiking or fishing. What about you?
Speaker A: I've always been a fan of outdoor activities. Hunting is one of my favorites.
Speaker B: Hunting, huh? That's interesting. I've never tried that before.
Speaker A: It's a great experience, being in touch with nature and all. Plus, it requires a lot of skills and patience.
Speaker B: I can imagine. I'm not sure if I would be good at it though.
Speaker A: "Hey, didn't you tell me that you've been hunting for years and you've become quite an expert at it?"

Speaker A: "Hey, didn't you tell me that you've been hunting for years and you've become quite an expert at it?"

"Cool! I don't often play video games. I like to hunt in my free time.",

"What kind of laptop did you get?",
"A new gaming laptop, lol. Wjat do you hunt?",
"Mostly deer. I am worried about overpopulation.",
"Human or deer overpopulation? Do you know who alistar is...a champion!",

"Yeah, alistar is my favorite. Good luck with the hunting. You do anything else.",

"Not this time. It still went good though. I checked out the conditions for some of the animals living in the area. What have you been up to?",
"I spent all night playing League of Legends. But after that I bought Resident Evil VIII. I haven't turned it on yet but I'm looking forward to it. Usually I wait for a sale but I couldn't resist.",
"That's cool. What is Resident Evil VIII about? ",
"It's a horror game. You're a guy looking for his kidnapped daughter and you have to explore a bunch of eerie locations full of monsters. I really liked the last one so I'm eager to see if this one is as good.",
"Hmm, that could be interesting. Do you play by yourself or is it a multiplayer online game?",
"I just play it by myself. I turn the lights out and play it late at night by myself so it's as scary as possible. Do you like horror movies and scary things like that?",
"Not really. About the only thing scary that I like is sneaking up on a deer out in the wild! I play videogames every now and then but they are usually tame, calm ones.",
"I understand. Where do you go to hunt? Is it your land or someone you know?",
"Both actually. Sometimes I hunt on mine or my family's places and sometimes I go to state hunting sites. You should go next time I go!",
"That would be fun! I've never shot a real gun before though. Is it hard?"

"No I have not, but that sounds like a ton of fun and something that I would love to play!! Am I able to play it on my gaming laptop? ",

"Yeah that sounds like a great idea! Although you're going to have to teach me how to hunt since i'm pretty inexperienced. Maybe I can teach you how to golf and you can teach me how to hunt? How does that sound?",
"That sounds great to me! We are going to get outdoors a lot, which is a plus for a couple gamers! I think you will enjoy golfing. There is a lot of \"hurry up and wait,\" but you just soak it all in.",
"I think I will enjoy hunting too, it seems like a very peaceful activity and a great way to enjoy nature! What are you up to the rest of the day?"

Speaker B: Yeah, I do. We were talking about Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, weren't we?
Speaker A: That's right. I was thinking that we could finally give it a shot. What do you think?
Speaker B: Sounds like a fun idea! I have been playing a lot of Resident Evil lately, so this would be a nice change.
Speaker A: I thought you might say that. I've also been playing a lot of Jurassic Park: World, but I'm ready to mix it up a bit.
Speaker B: Great! I'm curious to see how I'll do in a fighting game. It's been a while since I've played anything other than RE.
Speaker A: Don't worry. Remember, I'm not a competitive person. We're just doing this for fun.
Speaker B: Yeah, you're right. It's all about having fun. I always appreciate how you enjoy a variety of games.
Speaker A: That's true. I like to keep things interesting. I'm not particularly into any one genre. I like to mix it up.

"I was talking to a friend three days ago, and they mentioned they are giving away kittens that their cat just gave birth to. You should give them a call, and ask to adopt one. I am sure they would be happy to give you a kitten, given how well you take care of your cat.",
"Oh my goodness that's so exciting! Yes I'll definitely give them a call, at least just to talk about it and see whether one of the kittens would be right for me. Would you consider getting one too?",
"I'm not sure honestly. As you know, I'd rather have a cockatoo. Don't you think kittens are more work?",
"Yes they are, they are very cute but especially when they are young they need quite a lot of attention. Once they are older they are a little more independent. I remember you saying your sister has a dog; what breed is it?",

"Exactly! I feel the same way about children. They're cute and fun to play with but I'd rather not have all that responsibility. Do you like kids?",
"Kids can be awesome, but personally I don't think I'd want to have any of my own. But I have a sister who is keen to have kids one day, so maybe I'll be a cool uncle at some point. What about you, do you think you'll have kids in the future?",
"Maybe in the distant future. Right now I don't have enough money saved anyways. I have to focus on saving up I guess. So how's your girlfriend's cockatoo?",
"Yea it's definitely a good idea to be in a good financial position before even thinking about raising a family. My sister's cockatoo is doing great thanks, he's a funny old thing. I love the fact that his name is John, as it just sounds so ridiculously human!",
"Haha, that is a funny name for a cockatoo. Does he behave like a human too?",
"He does turn his head to the side when looking at me which makes me wonder what deep thing he's thinking, but he's probably just after some food! What is your cockatoo called?"

Speaker B: Yes, back to the grind at Ford Motors. I have a lot of catching up to do.
Speaker A: I can only imagine. How was it to go back after the vacation?
Speaker B: It was a bit hard, to be honest. I missed the laid-back vibe of San Diego.
Speaker A: Well, you can always plan another vacation. Maybe to the DC zoo next time?
Speaker B: That might be a good idea! I could compare it to the San Diego zoo.

"Haha nice. I always thought about getting a dog, but cats are just so much easier. I'm thinking about getting another cat sometime next month actually."

"I was talking to a friend three days ago, and they mentioned they are giving away kittens that their cat just gave birth to. You should give them a call, and ask to adopt one. I am sure they would be happy to give you a kitten, given how well you take care of your cat.",
"Oh my goodness that's so exciting! Yes I'll definitely give them a call, at least just to talk about it and see whether one of the kittens would be right for me. Would you consider getting one too?",
"I'm not sure honestly. As you know, I'd rather have a cockatoo. Don't you think kittens are more work?",
"Yes they are, they are very cute but especially when they are young they need quite a lot of attention. Once they are older they are a little more independent. I remember you saying your sister has a dog; what breed is it?",
"I guess that's true. She has a corgi! He is pretty adorable. Maybe for now it's enough for me to just play with him. I've heard pets can be pretty expensive too, right?",
"Oh corgis are so cute! What's his name? Yea it's nice when a friend or family member has a pet as you don't have to make the commitment yourself, but you still get to enjoy having an animal around sometimes. And yes, vet bills can be very expensive!",
"Exactly! I feel the same way about children. They're cute and fun to play with but I'd rather not have all that responsibility. Do you like kids?",
"Kids can be awesome, but personally I don't think I'd want to have any of my own. But I have a sister who is keen to have kids one day, so maybe I'll be a cool uncle at some point. What about you, do you think you'll have kids in the future?",
"Maybe in the distant future. Right now I don't have enough money saved anyways. I have to focus on saving up I guess. So how's your girlfriend's cockatoo?",
"Yea it's definitely a good idea to be in a good financial position before even thinking about raising a family. My sister's cockatoo is doing great thanks, he's a funny old thing. I love the fact that his name is John, as it just sounds so ridiculously human!",
"Haha, that is a funny name for a cockatoo. Does he behave like a human too?",
"He does turn his head to the side when looking at me which makes me wonder what deep thing he's thinking, but he's probably just after some food! What is your cockatoo called?"

"Next Thursday, we're going to San Diego. I can't wait to visit the zoo there!",
"Nice! Have you ever been there before? How good is their zoo?",
"Their zoo is pretty good! It's always crowded, of course, but they have pandas so I'm happy. I would say it's bigger than the DC zoo, but I like that the DC zoo has fewer people.",
"That sounds awesome. I haven't been to the zoo in so long. I wish I could go.",
"You should go with your sister! she can bring her dog. They probably have all kinds of exotic birds...",
"That's a great idea! I'm not sure how good her dog would do around other animals though. She always barks like crazy whenever she sees any kind of animal.",

"For sure. Hopefully she'll be more curious than aggressive.",

Speaker A: Hey, how was your vacation to San Diego?
Speaker B: It was fantastic! The zoo was even better than I remembered. They had this amazing bird exhibit with all kinds of exotic species.
Speaker A: Oh, that sounds wonderful. Any particular bird that caught your eye?
Speaker B: There was this one cockatoo, John, that was so interactive and full of energy. My girlfriend was especially taken with him.
Speaker A: Cockatoos are fascinating creatures. I actually prefer them over cats or kittens as pets.
Speaker B: Really? That's interesting. I've never thought about having a bird as a pet.
Speaker A: They're intelligent and have a fun personality. Although, they demand attention and can be a bit noisy.
Speaker B: I can see how that would be appealing for some people. Although, it might be too much for me.
Speaker A: Yeah, it's definitely not for everyone. I also think it's important to consider if your home environment would be suitable for them.
Speaker B: That's a valid point. I think my girlfriend is considering getting a cockatoo though. She really loved John at the zoo.
Speaker A: That's great! She'll have a fun time with a cockatoo. They're very engaging birds.
Speaker B: I think she will. She always wanted a pet that she could interact with.
Speaker A: I'm sure she'll be a great pet owner.
Speaker B: "So, you have a pet cockatoo, right?"
|
Speaker B: "So, you have a pet cockatoo, right?"
|
Speaker A: "No, I don't have a pet cockatoo. I mentioned that I prefer cockatoos over kittens as pets, but I don't own one. It's Speaker B's girlfriend who owns a cockatoo named John."

Speaker A: You know, I've been thinking about expanding my artwork into other formats. I'm considering trying out some sculpture work.
Speaker B: That sounds interesting! Have you ever done any sculpting before?
Speaker A: Not since high school, but I've been watching some tutorials online and it seems like something I could pick up. I just need to get my hands on some materials.
Speaker B: Well, you're a talented artist. I'm sure you could master sculpting if you put your mind to it.
Speaker A: Thanks for the vote of confidence. So, have you talked to your wife about that tattoo yet?
Speaker B: Not yet. We've been busy with other things, but it's still on my mind. I'm still a little nervous about the needles though.
Speaker A: You'd be surprised at what you can handle when you really want something. Remember that fishing trip you took to Michigan where you battled that huge fish?
Speaker B: Ah yes, that was quite an experience! I suppose facing the needles for a tattoo wouldn't be much different than wrestling with a big fish.
Speaker A: Exactly! You're braver than you give yourself credit for. Speaking of that trip, do you remember the time you caught that huge salmon there?
Speaker B: Actually, the fish I caught in Michigan was a 30-pound muskie, not a salmon.

Speaker A: Well, it's not for everyone. Speaking of art, I'm working on a new mural project. This time, with the permission of the building owner!
Speaker B: That's great! Where is this building?
Speaker A: It's a small bookstore downtown. They wanted something that would make their storefront more eye-catching.
Speaker B: I bet that will be fantastic. You've got such a unique style.
Speaker A: Thanks, I hope they'll like it. I'm trying to incorporate elements of literature into the design.
Speaker B: I can't wait to see it when it's finished. Have you done any other large-scale projects recently?
Speaker A: Actually, I just returned from a trip to Northern California. I was invited to work on a mural in the town square of Eureka, in Humboldt County.
Speaker B: That's amazing! I've been to Humboldt County before. It's a beautiful place. Did you get a chance to do any sightseeing while you were there?

"I visited the pet store yesterday and saw a bearded dragon. It was my first time seeing one up close. How big do they get?",
"That is cool you saw one. They can get up to about 24 inches. Quite big really but does happen slowly over the years. Would you like to get one?",
"I don't know , with my fosters dogs, I don't think it would be a good idea. Each case is different, I don't want to stress them more with a reptile. How your racoon is dealing with you bearded dragon ? ",
"If you think your foster dogs would become stressed by the dragon then it is probably a good idea not to get one. My raccoon is quite relaxed and isn't bothered at all by the bearded dragon. It helps because it doesn't make much noise so I don't think it notices that it is there.",
"Do you think it could eat your bearded dragon ? To me, racoons seem to eat everything.",
"Bob is in a cage so Bandicoot cannot get to it. He is fine and soon he grow bigger. Raccoons like to eat small creatures. Once it gets to a certain size Bandicoot will leave it alone.",
"I hope soo, some racoons can be very territorial, every four-five night I hear a racoon and a cat fighting in my neighborhood. ",
"They can be. Especially wild ones. Now my raccoon has been with me for over a month it has grown to me and is quite relaxed and behaved around me. I think it would be interesting to research whether racoons could be trained.",
"Do you think they would make great pet ? Do they stink ? I know ferrets can smell and foxes literally stink. ",
"No they don't stink really if you feed it correctly. But I am used to the smell really now being around so many of them. Maybe to others they might. I think they make a good pet, but only if you have time to really look and care for it.",
"But aren't they considered wildlife by the law ? So they can't be legally pets, if so some pet shops would sell them, like ferrets.",
"That it true. Yes we cannot sell them. But we can rescue them and take care of them before releasing back in the wild"

"One of my foster dogs is going to her forever home tomorrow, I'm excited for her but will be sad to see her go at the same time!",
"I understand, it must be tough to give away a dog you have fostered for such a long time. Surely you still have other dogs to foster that have yet to be adopted?",
"They always come and go. It's sad, but I am a little used to it. But you're right, I'm sure by next week another cutie will be joining me. You should bring bandicoot over!",
"I'd be happy to do so, he would love the extra company and attention. Would you ever consider fostering other types of animals other than dogs, such as cats?",
"I'm allergic to cats. That's why I don't foster them. Has he ever met a dog before?",
"He has, he mostly is friendly around them, although I can't say many dogs are friendly around bandicoot. I guess dogs in general aren't really used to seeing racoons at times.",
"Probably not. Or maybe they see them, and worry they are going to steal their food next!",
"That is true of other racoons, but Bandicoot seems to play fair. Speaking of which, have you been able to handle your raccoon problem?",
"Not yet. I need to buy some aluminum sheeting I think. To cover the holes up from the inside. Those raccoons are too smart",
"True, racoons are much more craftier than you think. Has any other types of animals tried to enter your garbage, or is it mostly racoons? I would be scared if a bigger animal like a bear was attracted to my garbage.",
"Luckily we don't have bears around. The other animals don't seem interested in the garage though.",
"Good to hear, then aluminum sheeting should be able to handle just the raccoons then. My garbage has a lock, helps keep it shut especially when it gets very windy outside."

"I was able to get the aluminum sheeting for my garbage. I'm going to install it today and I'll let you know how my raccoon problem goes. ",
"I hope it goes well for you. How come you don't just leave small bowls of food out and befriend the raccoons? It would solve your problem a lot faster, especially because raccoon's are so smart. Bandicoot knows how to open and unlock so many things, it's makes it difficult to keep him out of trouble. Which is why I take him to work with me.",
"Ohhh. That would be bad. I really do not want more raccoons or other animals coming around. I like them OK, but I do not want to have some diseased ones get close to the house. ",
"Understandable. Have you ever tried contacting animal control? That's how I got Bandicoot. I was working that day and animal control came by explaining about needing fosters for raccoons. I thought it was weird, so I did it and began to work at the small raccoon cafe that is part of the zoo. I love it. ",
"That is a good idea. Maybe they could help move them to a safer area. I have a lot of traffic around and they could get hit if they are coming to my place all the time. Have you been able to teach your raccoon any tricks?",
"The only trick I was able to teach him, that I deeply regret, was how locks worked. I thought it was cool at first, you know, to see a raccoon unlock a door. And now, I regret it so much. I've had to change the layout of my apartment and put deadbolts on my doors so that Bandicoot can't get out. And, he is sneaky about it. One time, he unlocked the pantry and was eating some cookies! It's like having a toddler that never grows up.",
"That is bad I guess. Do you keep all of your chemicals, poisons, and medications up and locked? I would hate to think what might happen if Bandicoot got into any of that. Hey, when you drive do you lock him up in a cage or let him wander around in the car? That could be dangerous for you driving and he freaks out.",
"All the chemicals and poisons are in a gated lock in the basement. The lock requires a specific key, which I have hidden in my drawers. For medication, I have a small box that I also keep locked up, but it's a combination lock, so Bandicoot isn't able to get into it. For driving, I bought a harness that keeps him strapped in the back seat, he can move a bit, but mostly sturdy. I put blankets down and his favorite toys so that he stays calm. Sometimes, I'll pass small snacks to keep him occupied. I also take the side streets to work so that it's not too much for him. What about you? When you foster dogs, do you put them in a cage when you drive?",
"I do keep the dogs secured. You never knwo how they are going to react. Most of them I only have for a few days, so I really do not get a chance to see how they will act in all situations. ",
"Oh, does that make you want to adopt a dog? I know you said it makes you sad to see them come and go, so why not adopt one?",
"It easer to foster them right now. If I go out of town for a few days and I had my own dog, I might not be able to take it with me. So the foster stuff is best. I can take in a dog for only the time I can spend a lot of time with it. I think this is best for the dog.",
"Oh, I see. Do you get paid to do this, or at least do they provide the food and what not? For Bandicoot, they provide his meals and insurance for any damages he may do to my house. I use to only feed him what they gave, but then, I began to spoil him."

Speaker A: Hey, it's been a while since we talked about our pets. How's Bandicoot doing?
Speaker B: He's doing well! Still causing trouble, but I wouldn't trade him for anything. He's my little mischief maker.
Speaker A: I can imagine. I remember you saying that he learned how to unlock things. I hope he hasn't gotten into anything important.
Speaker B: Thankfully, no. I've had to be extra careful with where I put things, but it's manageable.
Speaker A: I'm glad to hear that. I've been fostering dogs still, and it's been a rewarding experience.
Speaker B: That's great! Have you considered adopting a dog yet?
Speaker A: Not yet. I still like the flexibility that fostering offers. Plus, with the traffic around my place, I prefer not to have a pet full-time.
Speaker B: I see. It's really cool that you're doing that though. And probably a safer bet than trying to adopt a raccoon.
Speaker A: Yeah, I'm not sure I could handle a pet as smart as Bandicoot. I imagine it's like taking care of a toddler.
Speaker B: It definitely is. But he's also very sweet, so it's worth it.
Speaker A: I can tell you love him. Now, tell me something - do you remember when I adopted a raccoon, just like you did with Bandicoot?
|
Speaker A: "Hey, do you remember when I adopted a raccoon, just like you did with Bandicoot?"
|
Speaker B: "Actually, you never adopted a raccoon. You've only been fostering dogs and expressed concerns about raccoons being close to your house due to traffic and potential diseases."

"I visited the pet store yesterday and saw a bearded dragon. It was my first time seeing one up close. How big do they get?",
"That is cool you saw one. They can get up to about 24 inches. Quite big really but does happen slowly over the years. Would you like to get one?",
"I don't know , with my fosters dogs, I don't think it would be a good idea. Each case is different, I don't want to stress them more with a reptile. How your racoon is dealing with you bearded dragon ? ",
"If you think your foster dogs would become stressed by the dragon then it is probably a good idea not to get one. My raccoon is quite relaxed and isn't bothered at all by the bearded dragon. It helps because it doesn't make much noise so I don't think it notices that it is there.",
"Do you think it could eat your bearded dragon ? To me, racoons seem to eat everything.",
"Bob is in a cage so Bandicoot cannot get to it. He is fine and soon he grow bigger. Raccoons like to eat small creatures. Once it gets to a certain size Bandicoot will leave it alone.",
"I hope soo, some racoons can be very territorial, every four-five night I hear a racoon and a cat fighting in my neighborhood. ",
"They can be. Especially wild ones. Now my raccoon has been with me for over a month it has grown to me and is quite relaxed and behaved around me. I think it would be interesting to research whether racoons could be trained.",
"Do you think they would make great pet ? Do they stink ? I know ferrets can smell and foxes literally stink. ",
"No they don't stink really if you feed it correctly. But I am used to the smell really now being around so many of them. Maybe to others they might. I think they make a good pet, but only if you have time to really look and care for it.",
"But aren't they considered wildlife by the law ? So they can't be legally pets, if so some pet shops would sell them, like ferrets.",
"That it true. Yes we cannot sell them. But we can rescue them and take care of them before releasing back in the wild"

"One of my foster dogs is going to her forever home tomorrow, I'm excited for her but will be sad to see her go at the same time!",

"I'm allergic to cats. That's why I don't foster them. Has he ever met a dog before?",
"He has, he mostly is friendly around them, although I can't say many dogs are friendly around bandicoot. I guess dogs in general aren't really used to seeing racoons at times.",
"Probably not. Or maybe they see them, and worry they are going to steal their food next!",

Speaker A: I've been thinking about what you said last time about animal control. I called them up about my raccoon problem, but they said they can't do anything unless the raccoons pose a direct threat to me or my property.
Speaker B: Oh, that's unfortunate. Did they suggest any other options to deal with the problem?
Speaker A: They suggested that I could hire a professional trapper, but that could get expensive. They also said I could try making my property less attractive to raccoons by removing any potential food sources.
Speaker B: That sounds like a good idea. You could try keeping your trash bins inside the garage or shed, if you have one. Or maybe you could get a stronger, raccoon-proof garbage can.
Speaker A: Yeah, I've done that. I've also been trying to keep my yard clean of any fallen fruits from the trees. They seem to love those.
Speaker B: Good strategy. I guess raccoons are pretty opportunistic eaters. They'll eat anything that's easy to get.
Speaker A: It seems so. I've also been looking into getting a motion-activated sprinkler. Apparently, raccoons don't like getting wet, so it could help keep them away.
Speaker B: Interesting idea. It would be like a natural deterrent. Maybe you could also try some of those ultrasonic repellers, I've heard they can be effective too.
Speaker A: I'll look into that. I just hope these measures work. I don't want to harm the raccoons, but I also don't want them causing problems around my house.
Speaker B: I totally get it. You'll have to let me know how it goes. In the meantime, I'll keep bandicoot out of your yard.
Speaker A: Thanks, I appreciate it. It's a bit stressful, but I hope it will be resolved soon.
Speaker B: "So, you've had a close encounter with raccoons before, right?"
|
Speaker B: "So, you've had a close encounter with raccoons before, right?"
|
Speaker A: "No, I haven't interacted closely with raccoons. I've only heard them fighting with cats in my neighborhood and have been dealing with a raccoon problem near my house."

"I ended up finding a good 3.5 star movie on Netflix two days ago, and my grand kids really liked it. I was thinking you should give it a watch, although it might not be suitable for your son. I can give you the name so you can look it up.",
"I would be interested in the movie as long as it's not rated R or mature. ",
"Yeah it definitely wasn't rated R if I let my grandkids watch it haha. What kinds of movies does your pre-schooler like to watch?",
"He has liked the Toy Story movies, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, just to name a few. I usually buy them on DVD once the prices drop or they go on sale.",
"That's a good way to do it. I have 8 grandkids of all different ages so we've seen Toy Story about 900 times I think haha. Which one is his favorite?",
"I don't think he has a favorite, but he definitely loves Woody! We were watching Jeopardy together Friday and saw the Tournament of Champions. We miss Alex.",
"Aw man, me too. :-( I've watched Jeopardy my whole life and he's an irreplaceable figure. Who do you think might end up being the new host?",
"Some people are saying LeVar Burton might be the next host, but I like Aaron Rogers actually.",
"I haven't seen any of the Aaron Rogers episodes. I know LeVar Burton was publicly saying he really wanted the job. I think he could be pretty great at it. I also wouldn't mind Ken Jennings too terribly. But LeVar Burton feels like a really good choice to me.",
"Ken Jennings did a great job as guest host. He was very personable, funny and engaging. My wife likes him a lot.",
"Yep, I loved watching his historic streak, so maybe it's a nostalgia thing. I know Ken is a big reader, so was Alex. That was one of the reasons I got so into books growing up.",
"That's a great memory for you then. Someone who gave you the drive or fascination with books. Reading and education is so important to a successful life and career. I try to instill that in my son."

"Right now Im going through the genres and just watching the ones over 3.5 stars. Ive kind of run out of stuff. Too much binge watching.",
"Haha that's a good problem to have. My son wakes up early and we stay pretty busy throughout the day. When I finally have time to watch tv, I usually fall asleep. ",
"Sounds about right for parenthood. Its just a mess of chores, school, and other schedules and at the end of it all you want to do is be able to take a bath at your leisure once in a while.",
"Sometimes I am too tired even for a bath haha But the kids grow up so fast and I like keeping him entertained. He is going to preschool next year so hopefully I will have more time to myself. ",
"Thats so exciting. Have you started thinking about school supplies. They are cheaper at the end of the year and we are just about at that time of the year.",
"Good to know. I will check out local stores or order them online. I might message the teacher and ask her what they will need. Do you have any plans for summer?"

"I ended up finding a good 3.5 star movie on Netflix two days ago, and my grand kids really liked it. I was thinking you should give it a watch, although it might not be suitable for your son. I can give you the name so you can look it up.",
"I would be interested in the movie as long as it's not rated R or mature. ",
"Yeah it definitely wasn't rated R if I let my grandkids watch it haha. What kinds of movies does your pre-schooler like to watch?",
"He has liked the Toy Story movies, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, just to name a few. I usually buy them on DVD once the prices drop or they go on sale.",
"That's a good way to do it. I have 8 grandkids of all different ages so we've seen Toy Story about 900 times I think haha. Which one is his favorite?",
"I don't think he has a favorite, but he definitely loves Woody! We were watching Jeopardy together Friday and saw the Tournament of Champions. We miss Alex.",
"Aw man, me too. :-( I've watched Jeopardy my whole life and he's an irreplaceable figure. Who do you think might end up being the new host?",
"Some people are saying LeVar Burton might be the next host, but I like Aaron Rogers actually.",
"I haven't seen any of the Aaron Rogers episodes. I know LeVar Burton was publicly saying he really wanted the job. I think he could be pretty great at it. I also wouldn't mind Ken Jennings too terribly. But LeVar Burton feels like a really good choice to me.",
"Ken Jennings did a great job as guest host. He was very personable, funny and engaging. My wife likes him a lot.",
"Yep, I loved watching his historic streak, so maybe it's a nostalgia thing. I know Ken is a big reader, so was Alex. That was one of the reasons I got so into books growing up.",
"That's a great memory for you then. Someone who gave you the drive or fascination with books. Reading and education is so important to a successful life and career. I try to instill that in my son."

"What book are you planning on reading next?",
"It is a book about rhinos and the awful poaching that is still being done. I know it will be a difficult read, but so important to be educated about if you love animals.",
"Wow! That sounds pretty intense! Of course The Shack was intense too, but in a different way. ",
"What was it about again? Have they made it into a show yet?",
"The made it into a movie. Octavia Spencer plays God! It's about a guy who faces God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit in the shack where his daughter was murdered.",
"Wow! As a mother, I do not know if I could handle the book or the show! Maybe as my son grows older, but it is hard just to know he wont be around as much next year. :(",
"Do you stay home with him? He's going to love being around kids his own age!",
"He is at home with me, but you are right. He is such a social butterfly and not a fear in the world. I might be a mess, but I know he will love it.",
"How often does he go? Just a couple days a week or every day?",
"It will be three days a week for three hours. I think I can manage though. I think I might volunteer at the animal shelter when he starts. ",
"When I'm not watching my grandkids, I use the quiet to take a nap! But volunteering is a great idea too!",
"I may have to consider the same. How did you handle your own children getting older?"

"You always go for that scintillating fiction, you know it's a bit much for my tastes. ",

"They're okay, but I like my animal books. Is there a movie made from the book you're reading?",
"Not yet. I think Netflix is going to make it into a movie soon. They might finally convince me to pay for a subscription haha.",
"Well if it's any good I know you'll be watching the whole thing.",
"you know it. And I know that you would just fall asleep during it whether it's any good or not.",
"Is there a lot of violence in your book? I couldn't stand to read it if there was. ",
"There's a little bit. Mostly just when describing how the crimes occurred though. There are also some fight scenes between the cops and the criminals. It's not too bad.",
"Listen, do you think you could find the time to babysit my son? I know you usually have a lot of kids to babysit over there."

Speaker A: I finally finished that crime drama book I was reading. It was such a thrilling ride!
Speaker B: Oh, the one you thought they would make a movie out of?
Speaker A: Yes, that's the one. And you know what, they are indeed making a movie out of it!
Speaker B: Really? That's interesting. Are you going to watch it?
Speaker A: Of course! I'm excited to see how they adapt the book into a film. It's going to be on Netflix, so I'll finally have to get that subscription.
Speaker B: That sounds like a nice plan. You know, I recently watched a movie about animals on Netflix. I think you'll like it.
Speaker A: I might give it a try, but you know I prefer thrilling crime dramas.
Speaker B: Yeah, I know. I just thought it might be a nice change of pace for you.
Speaker A: Maybe. But I think I'll stick to my crime dramas for now.
Speaker B: Fair enough. By the way, how are your grandkids doing?
Speaker A: They're doing well. I'm planning to have a movie night with them next week.
Speaker B: That sounds fun. What kind of movies do you watch with them?
Speaker A: Mostly family-friendly ones. But occasionally, we watch some quiz game shows like Jeopardy. They love it!
Speaker B: "You don't like watching movies with your grandchildren, do you?"

Speaker B: "You don't like watching movies with your grandchildren, do you?"

Took a lot longer to make the trip up than I was hoping just because with the kids I had to make more stops to stretch our legs, feed them, and give them a little time to burn off some energy.

Speaker A: I ended up getting a new car last week, can you believe it?
Speaker B: Oh really? What did you get?
Speaker A: I got a Mini Cooper, it’s bright red and has a sunroof. I’m in love with it.
Speaker B: That sounds fantastic. I've always appreciated the design of Mini Coopers.
Speaker A: It's a smooth ride, and it's compact enough to fit in tight parking spaces. Plus, it's great on gas.
Speaker B: Definitely, that's a big advantage, especially with the gas prices these days.
Speaker A: True. How's your car holding up?
Speaker B: It's pretty good. I recently took it to the mechanic for maintenance and was told it's in good shape.
Speaker A: That's great to hear. Regular maintenance is so important. It's what keeps your car running smoothly.
Speaker B: Absolutely. I believe in taking good care of things, and they'll serve you well in return.
Speaker A: Right. By the way, the Spice Girls are loving the new car. They've taken to sitting in the back seat whenever I leave the door open.
Speaker B: Haha, they must look so cute. They've always been curious, haven't they?
Speaker A: Indeed, they have. They explore everything new.
Speaker B: I can imagine. Cats are naturally curious creatures.
Speaker A: "Hey, wasn't it you who told me that you also have a Mini Cooper just like me?"

Speaker A: You won't believe what Pumpkin did today! She managed to open the cupboard where I keep the cat food.
Speaker B: Really? She's quite the explorer, it seems. How did she manage that?
Speaker A: I have no idea! I just walked into the kitchen and there she was, halfway inside the cupboard with a bag of cat food between her paws.
Speaker B: That's hilarious! Maybe she's trying to tell you she's ready for dinner?
Speaker A: Could be! She's a sassy little thing, that's for sure. Speaking of dinner, are you still coming over tonight?
Speaker B: Of course! I wouldn't miss your famous lasagna for the world. I'll bring some dessert, too.
Speaker A: Sounds perfect. Just don't bring anything with pumpkin spice. I've had enough of pumpkins for one day!
Speaker B: Noted. No pumpkin spice. Maybe I'll bring some apple pie instead. How's Ginger doing, by the way?
Speaker A: She's doing well. She's been a bit clingy since her surgery but other than that, she's the same old Ginger.
Speaker B: That's good to hear. And how about your other cats? Are they still causing you trouble?

"I saw an interesting documentary about shark diving, they are not attracted to the blood in the water. Did you know about that ?",
"No, I had no idea. That'll make me feel much safer when I go diving. What are they attracted to then?",
"I've heard sharks have a good sense of smell. I was surprised to hear that it wasn't the blood since that's what you typically see in the movies etc.",
"I had no idea. That's so interesting! That makes movies like Jaws completely different in real life. Does that make you any less worried about sharks when you go scuba diving sometime? ",
"Yes, it gives me some comfort but not much. It's always when we approach the summer months when you hear about increased shark attacks. That's because the seal population has increased and the food is plentiful.",
"I didn't know that about seals. O",
"Oh yes, the seal population is high on the east coast. There was a report on the television the other day about a huge shark located off of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. They try to tag and track the sharks so they can keep their location known.",
"That's so interesting. You have a lot of knowledge. When you study neuroscience, are you looking to do zoology and research with animals or are you looking to work with humans after college?",
"I looking to work with humans. It's so fascinating. I hope some day I can help cure neurological diseases.",
"I prefer animals to humans, but that's just because they are easier to get along with most of the time. :?) That's amazing what you're planning to do, though. There are so many terrible diseases that we can't cure yet.",
"That's a funny comment. I'm chuckling. Yes, if we put our minds to it, I bet we can accomplish many things regarding diseases. It's amazing over the course of the years how we've come up with many vaccines to eradicate infections diseases/viruses. ",
"I know, right? We need to get all the research done that we can. I'm using the GI Bill to take some neuroscience classes next year. I can't wait!"

"Oh no way! I love to scuva dive! Where do you dive to? I normally go to Hawaii to seek those types of thrills.",
"I'm not sure; my friend said they'll let me know. Hawaii sounds awesome. What makes you want to go into neuroscience?",
"It's something I've always fancied trying. I really love that sort of thing so want to give it a try. How do you plan to try and cure the neurological diseases? It may help me with my classes.",
"Well, it's not that simple. It's science. You have to learn as much as you can, what's been tried before, what can be tried differently. I'd be fine with helping you, but let's wait until your classes start. When will that be, by the way?",
"It'll be some time next year. Thank you for the offer to help! I think you should try to do some scuba diving... it's actually a lot of fun!",

"I am a veteran so I just went straight to the army after high school. What about you?",
"Thanks for your service, by the way. I always wanted to do something in the sciences, but my experience in the research lab really sealed the deal for neuroscience. I've been into that kind of stuff since I was a kid. Being out in nature for Eagle Scouts probably fueled it some, too.",
"No worries. That sounds a lot of fun, I wish you good luck with your studies! How is your volunteering at the lab going?",
"Oh, it's going great; thanks for asking. I'm going to need that luck. Once you finish yours, we can compare humans and animals. Think you'll study marine life or a different type of animal?"

Speaker A: I'm doing good, thanks. Have you been busy with work lately?
Speaker B: Yes, I have. But I still manage to find some time for myself and my pets.
Speaker A: Oh, how are Hansel and Gretel doing?
Speaker B: They're doing great. They still love their off-campus living.
Speaker A: That's good to hear! Have you taken them out lately?
Speaker B: Not as much as I'd like to, but we've had a few outings. I think they enjoy being in their own space though.
Speaker A: I can imagine. They might not like the sudden change in environment.
Speaker B: Exactly. They are quite sensitive to changes in their surroundings.
Speaker A: It's great that you understand them so well.
Speaker B: Well, you know I've always loved observing them. Their behaviors and patterns are fascinating.
Speaker A: I remember you mentioning that before. It's great that they have such a caring guardian.
Speaker B: I appreciate that. They are really a part of my life now.

Speaker B: How's the preparation for college going?
Speaker A: I'm almost ready, I just need to pack some of my stuff and make a few arrangements.
Speaker B: That's great to hear! Do you have any plans for extracurricular activities?
Speaker A: Yeah, I've been thinking of joining the scuba diving club. It's something I've always wanted to try.
Speaker B: Scuba diving? Sounds adventurous! I never saw you as the outdoor type.
Speaker A: Well, I guess there's a lot you don't know about me!
Speaker B: Apparently! But it's good to have a hobby, keeps you grounded. I remember how much having my pets helped me.
Speaker A: Yeah, I can imagine. I never had that luxury, I guess.
Speaker B: Luxury? You make it sound like having pets is a grand affair! It's really not that big of a deal.
Speaker A: Maybe not to you, but it's something I've never experienced. So to me, it is a luxury.
Speaker B: Well, maybe you should try getting a pet in college, could be fun!

"Sounds like something my kids would definitely enjoy. Sorry if this is a silly question but what is the difference between a Boy Scout and an Eagle Scout?",
"Not silly at all. Eagle is the highest level you can achieve in Boy Scouts. I'm a Life Scout now, which is the 2nd highest level. To be honest, I'm getting a little old for Boy Scouts at this age, but I want to get my Eagle Scout badge for college applications.",
"I see. Thanks for explaining that. Good luck to you with your Eagle Scout badge. It's good you're thinking ahead towards your college applications and what you need to do to stand apart from the crowd. Do you have any colleges in mind at the moment?",
"A few, but I think I'm going to the local community college for at least a couple of years. All of the money that I've put away from my job should pay for that."

"I've heard that Boy Scouts teaches a lot of survival skills like setting up shelter and figuring out how to get a fire started no matter what materials you have on hand. Have you done any of that? I'm sure my kids would love roughing it.",
"Yes, it teaches a lot of survival skills and I would say social skills as well. You need to learn how to work together, and compromise. Yes, we often go camping and have to figure out a lot of things like how to start a fire or cook a meal with very little materials on hand. You should definitely get your kids into it.",
"Cool, thanks! Yes, that sounds wonderful, I think they would enjoy it a lot. What is your favorite part about camping?",
"I love being out in the wilderness and sleeping under the stars in the fresh air. It makes you realize how beautiful life is and how small we really are in comparison to the universe.",
"I miss doing that! I have done lots of picnics with my family but it's been a long time since I've slept in a tent! Looking forward to it again when the kids are older. Where was the last place you went?",
"We went up to an island in the middle of nowhere in Canada. There were lots of bears and huge moose!",
"Wow, that sounds like such an adventure! I love to visit Canada. I have seen moose but never a bear! That must have been scary!",
"Yes, it is quite scary. We could also hear the wolves howling at night, luckily we didn't come across them though. One thing to note about bears, is they just want to come and scrounge for our food, so we learned to safely pack it away and hang it up high in a tree.",
"Yes, I've heard that it's important to be careful in bear country! I would love to see one in person though. Do you take lots of photos on your trips?",
"Yes, I took quite a few. The scenery was stunning. Would you like me to send you some photos? I know they are uninteresting to some people.",
"Oh yes, I would love to see some photos! It will be a while before I can take a vacation myself so it's fun to see other people's adventures!",

Speaker A: So, have you been on any more interesting trips with your Scout troop lately?
Speaker B: Yes, actually, we recently went to a national park in Utah. The landscape was surreal, something straight out of a fantasy novel.
Speaker A: That sounds wonderful! Did you guys camp out there as well?
Speaker B: Yes, we did. We set up our tents near a river. It was quite a serene experience, to be honest.
Speaker A: I can imagine! Setting up a tent near a river, sounds like a perfect camping spot. How long were you there?
Speaker B: We were there for about a week. We did a lot of activities like hiking, fishing, and even a bit of rock climbing.
Speaker A: Wow, a week of outdoor activities. That must have been quite an experience. How was the rock climbing?
Speaker B: It was challenging, but also a lot of fun. It was my first time doing it, so it was quite an adventure.
Speaker A: I bet! Any encounters with wildlife this time?
Speaker B: We saw a few deer, and some beautiful birds. But no bears or wolves this time, thankfully.
Speaker A: That's good to hear. I bet you have some great pictures from this trip too!
Speaker B: Yes, I do. Would you like to see them?
Speaker A: Absolutely! I love seeing your adventure pictures. I imagine you must be quite a high-ranking Scout by now. "Didn't you tell me that you've already earned your Eagle Scout badge?"

"Oh, yes! But I love it. I want triplets the next time! I want enough kids to start my own choir!",
"That's a lot of kids! But since you love the church so much having enough for a church choir sounds like a good idea! Have you had any luck finding volunteers? When is your next retreat?",
"We've gotten some volunteers, but always need more! Thank you for getting your scout troop involved. We are having another retreat next month. It'll be a youth retreat if you and your friends would be interested.",
"That sounds like a great idea! I could use some of my vacation days at work and we could come to the retreat!",
"They are always worth the time. So spiritually uplifting! I'll be having to bring the babies along, so I hope they won't fuss too much.",
"I'm sure they will be just fine. They are probably going to be little angels.",
"I think they can read each other's minds. It always looks like they are plotting something! haha",
"I've heard that twins are connected in ways that most siblings aren't. Something about them sharing a womb and all that. I would not doubt the possiblities."

"How's life going. You still busy with everything?",
"Yes, I am. But I love keeping busy. I'm sure that you have no trouble staying busy, either. lol!",
"No, definitely not with twins on board. They keep me super busy, but I always make time for my church. We're looking for volunteers if you're interested.",
"Absolutely. I've been looking to do that for a while now. What kind of jobs do you have available?",
"I'm sure we can find something that matches your interests. Have you done volunteering work at other places before?",
"Yes, I have done a lot of volunteer work in Boy Scouts. We do volunteer activities around once a month. ",
"That's great! How long have you been involved with the Boy Scouts, and how has your experience been? I'm thinking of putting my children in Boy Scouts as well.",
"I've been in for 7-8 years so far and it's been pretty great. I would highly recommend it. You learn a lot of really practical skills and going on camp outs is really fun!",
"Sounds like something my kids would definitely enjoy. Sorry if this is a silly question but what is the difference between a Boy Scout and an Eagle Scout?",
"Not silly at all. Eagle is the highest level you can achieve in Boy Scouts. I'm a Life Scout now, which is the 2nd highest level. To be honest, I'm getting a little old for Boy Scouts at this age, but I want to get my Eagle Scout badge for college applications.",
"I see. Thanks for explaining that. Good luck to you with your Eagle Scout badge. It's good you're thinking ahead towards your college applications and what you need to do to stand apart from the crowd. Do you have any colleges in mind at the moment?",
"A few, but I think I'm going to the local community college for at least a couple of years. All of the money that I've put away from my job should pay for that."

"I've heard that Boy Scouts teaches a lot of survival skills like setting up shelter and figuring out how to get a fire started no matter what materials you have on hand. Have you done any of that? I'm sure my kids would love roughing it.",
"Yes, it teaches a lot of survival skills and I would say social skills as well. You need to learn how to work together, and compromise. Yes, we often go camping and have to figure out a lot of things like how to start a fire or cook a meal with very little materials on hand. You should definitely get your kids into it.",
"Cool, thanks! Yes, that sounds wonderful, I think they would enjoy it a lot. What is your favorite part about camping?",
"I love being out in the wilderness and sleeping under the stars in the fresh air. It makes you realize how beautiful life is and how small we really are in comparison to the universe.",
"I miss doing that! I have done lots of picnics with my family but it's been a long time since I've slept in a tent! Looking forward to it again when the kids are older. Where was the last place you went?",
"We went up to an island in the middle of nowhere in Canada. There were lots of bears and huge moose!",
"Wow, that sounds like such an adventure! I love to visit Canada. I have seen moose but never a bear! That must have been scary!",
"Yes, it is quite scary. We could also hear the wolves howling at night, luckily we didn't come across them though. One thing to note about bears, is they just want to come and scrounge for our food, so we learned to safely pack it away and hang it up high in a tree.",
"Yes, I've heard that it's important to be careful in bear country! I would love to see one in person though. Do you take lots of photos on your trips?",
"Yes, I took quite a few. The scenery was stunning. Would you like me to send you some photos? I know they are uninteresting to some people.",
"Oh yes, I would love to see some photos! It will be a while before I can take a vacation myself so it's fun to see other people's adventures!",
"OK, sounds great! Why won't you be able to take a vacation for a while?"

Speaker A: It's been a while since we last spoke about your scouting adventures. How have things been going?
Speaker B: Oh, it's been quite an adventure. We recently went on another trip, this time we explored the mountain ranges. The view from the top was breathtaking.
Speaker A: That sounds wonderful. My children would be thrilled to see such a sight. Have you encountered any wildlife on this trip?
Speaker B: Yes, we saw some mountain goats and even a few eagles. It's amazing how they survive in such harsh conditions.
Speaker A: That's incredible! I've always been fascinated by the resilience of animals. Did you manage to take any photos?
Speaker B: Of course, I've got some stunning shots of the wildlife and the landscape. I'll send them over to you.
Speaker A: I'd love to see them, thank you! It's like a mini-vacation for me, seeing your trips unfold through the photos.
Speaker B: I'm glad you enjoy them. It's always great to share the experience with others, even if they can't be there physically.
Speaker A: Yes, it certainly is. I can't wait for the day when I can take my kids on such adventures.
Speaker B: They would absolutely love it. There's so much to learn and explore.
Speaker A: I agree. It's just a matter of time before they're old enough to appreciate such experiences.
Speaker B: I'm sure they'll love it when the time comes. By the way, you were able to go on that vacation you were looking forward to, right?
|
Speaker B: "You were able to go on that vacation you were looking forward to, right?"
|
Speaker A: "No, I haven't been able to take a vacation recently. I've been enjoying other people's travel photos and am looking forward to going on a vacation when my kids are older."

Speaker A: Hey, how's your day going?
Speaker B: It's going well, thanks. Just finished a long meeting. How about you?
Speaker A: Not bad at all. I've just finished a martial arts class, feeling really energized afterward.
Speaker B: That's great. Still jiu-jitsu or did you try something new this time?
Speaker A: I'm still doing jiu-jitsu, but I've also started practicing taekwondo. It's quite a challenge but I'm loving it.
Speaker B: That's cool. A variety of martial arts can definitely give you a wider perspective. By the way, have you tried any new food lately?
Speaker A: Actually, I just tried this new dish at a local restaurant. It's called Donair, have you heard of it?
Speaker B: Oh, Donair? Yes, I love that! There's a place in London that makes the best ones. You should give it a try if you ever go.
Speaker A: Sounds delicious, I'll definitely try it out if I have the chance.
Speaker B: How's your martial art history class going? Still acing it?
Speaker A: Yes, it's going great! I find the history behind each martial art so fascinating.
Speaker B: That's wonderful to hear. I'm sure your passion for martial arts will take you far.
Speaker A: I sure hope so. Thanks for the encouragement!
Speaker B: No problem at all. Oh, by the way, remember when I visited you in England last summer?

"Yeah I think so, although I can't decide if they will go or not. ",
"Why not? What is making you doubt them?",
"Its the colours really. They looked great in the store but when I got them back it doesn't feel right. The sofas are purple.",
"Uh. Purple? Uh hum. I could have told you that was not an amazing choice lol. But you said you were renovating. Did you at least update that old paint to something more vibrant to go with it? That might help. Or if it is a royal purple, you could find some gold colored tables and curtains and make it work.",
"I painted first, which was a light green colour. The purple looked so good in store though lol. Do you think I should repaint to match?",
"Depends on the color. Dark royal purple would look ok with like blood red or some other dark color. Green and purple could go together if you find a way to get the shades right and marry them. Idk. I am not an interior decorator though am I. Maybe I am actually clueless lol.",
"Yeah, its not a dark green. More of a pastel. It sounds like we are both clueless. I might just leave it and claim I am colour blind. ",
"Or you could add a few random splashes of like neon pink and lavender to the wall. Get some outlandish curtains and hang up a bead door to the room and call it the chill room where colors mesh and collide to make an inspiring hippy feel. Idk",
"I like the way you are thinking. Want to come over and splash some colour all over the place?",
"Ohhh yes! I would love to do that. Maybe you could even get some on the couches or on the wood furniture just for fun. Or instead of the couches, get some throw pillows and splash on them!",
"Awesome, I think we may have found a solution. I just need to go back out to the store any buy brightly coloured pillows."

"Nice! What did you end up buying?",
"I got a new couch and recliner, and then some new patio furniture. I'm hoping to enjoy some more quiet evenings outside this summer.",
"A quiet evening with some barbeque and a cold one by the fire sounds perfect right about now.",

"I think it will definitely encourage it. But even if you don't grill most nights, you could probably make enough barbeque to have left overs for a couple nights. That's usually what I do, because I don't really have the time or energy to grill every night.",

"That sounds like a great night. We'll have to pick a night when the weather is really good. I've got things set up so we can play music and enjoy the food and company without worrying about bugs or anything like that.",
"That sounds like a plan to me! Speaking of the bugs, what are you using to keep them out? The bugs over at my place seem to be getting used to what I've been using.",
"I use a few different devices and they seem to work well, including some lamps. I'll go find the actual product names and get them to you. But if all else fails, I've got some old fashioned bug spray that does the job!",
"Haha, see all I've been using was the bug spray. I need to get a couple of lamps and maybe some of those candles they used to advertise on tv. Remember those?"

Speaker A: Hey, how's it going? Did you manage to order that gazebo?
Speaker B: Yes, I did! It's all set up in my backyard now. I'm really happy with how it turned out.
Speaker A: That's great! I'm looking forward to seeing it. Did you decide on the patio furniture as well?
Speaker B: Yeah, I ended up getting a nice umbrella table and some chairs. I think it complements the gazebo quite well.
Speaker A: Sounds fantastic! And what about the living room color scheme? Have you decided on changing it from green and purple?
Speaker B: I have. I'm going with a white and light blue scheme, similar to what you suggested. It's a work in progress, but it's coming along.
Speaker A: I'm sure it'll look great once it's done. By the way, I've been practicing some Miranda Lambert songs for the barbecue.
Speaker B: That's wonderful! I'm sure everyone's going to love it. Can't wait to hear you play.
Speaker A: Thanks! And I hope you're ready to impress with your grilling skills as well.
Speaker B: Absolutely! I've got some great steak recipes ready for the barbecue.
Speaker A: You seem to be really excited about it. I remember you were quite enthusiastic about grilling the steaks last time.
Speaker B: Yes, I am. I've always enjoyed grilling, you know.
Speaker A: "Hey, remember when you told me you don't really like grilling? What changed your mind?"

Speaker A: "Hey, remember when you told me you don't really like grilling? What changed your mind?"

"How is the house coming along, did you pick out some new furniture?",
"Yeah I think so, although I can't decide if they will go or not. ",
"Why not? What is making you doubt them?",
"Its the colours really. They looked great in the store but when I got them back it doesn't feel right. The sofas are purple.",
"Uh. Purple? Uh hum. I could have told you that was not an amazing choice lol. But you said you were renovating. Did you at least update that old paint to something more vibrant to go with it? That might help. Or if it is a royal purple, you could find some gold colored tables and curtains and make it work.",
"I painted first, which was a light green colour. The purple looked so good in store though lol. Do you think I should repaint to match?",
"Depends on the color. Dark royal purple would look ok with like blood red or some other dark color. Green and purple could go together if you find a way to get the shades right and marry them. Idk. I am not an interior decorator though am I. Maybe I am actually clueless lol.",
"Yeah, its not a dark green. More of a pastel. It sounds like we are both clueless. I might just leave it and claim I am colour blind. ",
"Or you could add a few random splashes of like neon pink and lavender to the wall. Get some outlandish curtains and hang up a bead door to the room and call it the chill room where colors mesh and collide to make an inspiring hippy feel. Idk",
"I like the way you are thinking. Want to come over and splash some colour all over the place?",
"Ohhh yes! I would love to do that. Maybe you could even get some on the couches or on the wood furniture just for fun. Or instead of the couches, get some throw pillows and splash on them!",
"Awesome, I think we may have found a solution. I just need to go back out to the store any buy brightly coloured pillows."

Speaker A: Hey, how's the gazebo coming along?
Speaker B: It's going well! I hope it'll arrive before the barbecue. The company said it should be here in a week or so.
Speaker A: That's great to hear. Have you decided on the color scheme for your living room and the patio furniture?
Speaker B: Yes, I think I've decided on a white and blue color scheme for the living room. For the patio furniture, I'm thinking of something bright to contrast the gazebo's color.
Speaker A: Sounds awesome! It'll definitely give your house a fresh look.
Speaker B: I hope so. By the way, did you manage to practice the songs I requested?
Speaker A: I've been practicing Miranda Lambert's songs every day, so I'm ready.
Speaker B: I'm really looking forward to it. And what about the bug lamp? Have you got it ready?
Speaker A: Yes, I've got it. It'll be really useful for the barbecue.
Speaker B: I'm glad to hear that. Also, I've been thinking of getting some furniture from Ikea. What do you think about purple furniture?

Speaker B: Yes, it does! I would love to visit Saint Lucia and Saint Thomas. A cruise would be a great way to see these places.
Speaker A: I can imagine. Caribbean cruises are known for their beauty and tranquility. And the food would be amazing, wouldn't it?
Speaker B: Absolutely! I love trying new cuisines. There's something exciting about tasting food from different cultures.
Speaker A: Speaking of food, I remember you mentioned liking French food, especially the desserts. Have you had a chance to try any more since we last spoke?

"When do you leave for Greece?",
"Probably in the next three months. Still sorting out flights and stuff.",
"That's great. Have you looked at places yet that you'd like to visit?",
"Athens is a must. Probably will also go to Santorini. One of my colleagues told me that Thessaloniki is interesting -- it's in the north, and quite different from the southern cities.",
"Yes, I'm sure you will love Thessaloniki, it is amazing. Are you going to stay for a couple of weeks or have you not decided yet?",
"Around that -- two to three weeks. Still have a few details to sort out. Not easy taking a family of five overseas.",
"I can imagine. Sounds like a lot of fun though. I can't wait to have kids one day and go on a proper family holiday with them! Are you going on a summer holiday every year?",
"We try. Better doing something than having kids bored and screaming at home :-). Do you like travelling?",
"I do, but it's not as fun going on my own. I used to do a big trip around Europe a few years ago, visiting all the capital cities of each country. That was fun!",
"Wow... that sounds amazing!!! What were your favourite cities?",
"My favourites were Rome, Berlin, Madrid and Helsinki. So much lovely, old architecture in those places. I took Wylie as well and he loved just exploring the cities with me.",
"What's Helsinki like? I have been fascinated with Finland for some time, but still have not managed to get over there."

"You got me thinking of traveling, and I decided to book a plane ticket to Rome on a whim!",
"That is awesome, when do you leave?",
"Two weeks! I'm so excited! When is your trip?",
"I am hoping to leave later this summer, probably a month before school starts.",
"That sounds great. Are the kids excited?",
"They are, they have never been to Greece. I bet you can't wait to be sipping coffee outside the Colosseum. Where are you going to go first?",
"I haven't really planned the trip out as it's so last minute! What would you do first?",
"I would have to say the Parthenon. Athena is my favorite among the Greek gods/goddesses.",
"That sounds wonderful. I haven't been there.",
"You have to put it on your itinerary, along with the Acropolis of Athens and the beach on Corfu Island.",
"I sure will. Thank you.",
"Is your trip more for relaxation or for sight seeing because that will really determine where you should go."

"I booked an excursion to visit the Acropolis in Athens, thank you so much for your advice. Can you tell me about it?",
"Yes! You can't miss it, especially if you are staying in the Plaka neighborhood. The acroplis sits on the top of the big hill. You can see if from much of the surrounding neighborhoods. I would recommend visiting the museum that is there first to learn all about what you are about to see. ",
"I definitely will, this sounds like such an amazing trip. How long has it been since you've been there yourself?",
"I was in Greece last two years ago. I am excited to go again soon! At somepoint I would like to take a cruise around the islands there. It seems like a neat way to see all the Islands in an easy way. Have you ever taken a cruise?",
"Only once before when I was very young, so I don't remember much. It sounds like such a relaxing way to enjoy the day, though. Maybe we can plan a cruise together sometime.",
"That would be fun! I go to Europe a lot so maybe a cruise in the Caribbean would be nice. I would like to see Saint Lucia and Saint Thomas. ",
"Oh, Europe? I'm already sold on the idea, sounds like a blast! I've never had a negative experience in Europe. Should we visit some of the capital cities?",
"I would like to go to Paris. Since I live in Amsterdam I could take the train down. I have seen much and Italy and Greece but would love to go to Paris. Have you been there before? ",
"Only once, and I had a really great time there. The buildings were so beautiful and the food was delicious. Do you like French food?",
"I do like French food- but it is very rich. I especially love French desserts like macarons. I would like to see the museums in Paris. ",
"That's a good idea! I definitely haven't seen enough of them. Should we bring anyone else along on our trip?",
"Well I have my 3 kids and husband. What about you? Are you dating anyone you would want to bring?"

Speaker A: I've just started packing, I'm so excited about this trip we're planning.
Speaker B: Me too! There's so much to do and see. Do we have a rough itinerary yet?
Speaker A: I've got a list of places I want to visit, but we should definitely fine-tune it. I've included a couple of museums in Paris.
Speaker B: Oh, that sounds great! I would love to experience more of the French culture. And we should definitely try some of their desserts.
Speaker A: Absolutely, I've heard their macarons are to die for.
Speaker B: Yes, they are! What about Greece? Are we planning to visit the Acropolis?
Speaker A: Yes, it's at the top of the list. I'm looking forward to learning more about its history.
Speaker B: It's an amazing place, you'll love it. And since we're also thinking about a cruise, we could consider a Mediterranean one.
Speaker A: That's an interesting idea. How about we check out some options and see what fits our schedule?
Speaker B: Sure, that sounds like a plan. And I'm also excited about the idea of visiting Saint Lucia and Saint Thomas.
Speaker A: Me too! We should start planning that as well. By the way, I've booked my flight to Rome already.
Speaker B: "So, how was your solo trip to Rome? Did you have a good time?"
|
Speaker B: "So, how was your solo trip to Rome? Did you have a good time?"

Speaker A: "Actually, I prefer not to travel alone. I mentioned that I booked a plane ticket to Rome, but I didn't say it was a solo trip."

"Will keep those tips in mind. What kind of job do you have that requires travel?",

Speaker A: So, how's your running training going? Still sticking to that 4 am routine?
Speaker B: Yes, I am. It's hard but it's worth it. Every time I want to hit that snooze button, I remember the motivational quotes you send me.
Speaker A: That's excellent to hear. Speaking of which, I've been thinking about trying out some new techniques to get you motivated. Are you up for it?
Speaker B: Oh, like what? Not more spiders, I hope.
Speaker A: No, no more spiders. I promise. But, you know, I think a change of scenery might be good.
Speaker B: That sounds interesting, where do you suggest we go?
Speaker A: I was thinking about a beach run. The soft sand will add an extra layer of resistance, and the ocean views would be a nice change.
Speaker B: That sounds great. Just not too early in the morning, okay?
Speaker A: Oh, come on. A sunrise run on the beach could be the best motivation.
Speaker B: Maybe, but only if you promise we don't have to swim afterwards. I'm not much of a swimmer.
Speaker A: I promise, we'll stick to running. Although, I was thinking of Venice Beach, the marathon route is really nice there.
Speaker B: Venice Beach, huh? That could be interesting. But no spiders, right?

Speaker A: So, how's the motivational speaking going? Are you still changing lives?
Speaker B: Still at it! I've been doing a lot of virtual events recently, which has been a unique challenge.
Speaker A: I can imagine. The virtual world has its own set of challenges. How are you adapting to it?
Speaker B: It's a bit of a learning curve, but I'm getting the hang of it. It's all about finding new ways to connect with people.
Speaker A: That's true. Have you kept up with the morning motivational quotes?
Speaker B: Absolutely! I've expanded it to a weekly email newsletter now.
Speaker A: That's awesome. I bet it's doing great.
Speaker B: It's definitely growing. I'm thinking about adding some travel stories to it as well.
Speaker A: Travel stories, huh? That sounds interesting.
Speaker B: Yeah, I thought it might be a nice way to add some variety.
Speaker A: People love a good travel story, especially if it involves some sort of challenge or unexpected twist.
Speaker B: Exactly. I think it could be a fun addition.
Speaker A: You've always had a knack for spinning a good story.
Speaker B: Thank you. It's all about finding the right angle. Speaking of travel, didn't you tell me you've always dreamed of traveling to 20 different countries?

Speaker B: "Didn't you tell me you've always dreamed of traveling to 20 different countries?"

"If the store has any of those veggie sandwiches, that would be awesome! I can grab some water, too. By the way, were you able to get a hammock?",
"They should have some of those. No problem. Yes, I finally got it - I love it! You have a hammock too, right?",
"Yes, that's right! It's not really portable, unfortunately. Will you bring yours along on the hike?",
"I thought about bringing it but I don't want the extra weight in my bag. I don't think it's worth it. There is a lake there too, btw. Do you want to swim?",
"Oh sweet, that sounds fantastic! Yeah, I'll definitely bring my swimsuit along! ",
"It should be fun, but the water can we really cold. Have you ever swum in really cold water before?",
"A few times, yes. Usually when the season has just changed and the water hasn't caught up. It can be quite refreshing!"

"the grocery store contacted me to offer me the job I had applied for.",

"A shift lead position. Not a ton of money, but I love the location of the store and everyone seems really nice. I'm excited! What have you been doing for work?",

"It's third shift, which isn't the greatest, but it pays a bit more than the other shifts, and I think I'll like getting off early in the morning. Then I can just go down and get in my hammock and have a nice relaxing moment after work. ",
"Would you feel safe being out there all alone, possibly falling asleep? That just sounds a bit risky.",
"Yeah, you know the area it's in. It's pretty safe, but I'm also a light sleeper. Thank you for your concern though. You are a good friend.",

Speaker A: Hey, how's your job hunt going?
Speaker B: It's going alright, I guess. Still looking for something that suits me. Have you started your job at the grocery store yet?
Speaker A: Yes, I've been there a couple of weeks now. It's been really good so far. The hours are a bit weird, but I'm adjusting.
Speaker B: That's great! And I bet the extra pay for the third shift is nice. How do you find the early morning hammock sessions, though?
Speaker A: They are actually very relaxing. I've grown fond of the peaceful morning hours.
Speaker B: That sounds nice. I'm still doing side jobs for John, but I'm thinking about looking for something more permanent.
Speaker A: Any particular field you're interested in?
Speaker B: I'm still considering something with the park system. I liked our earlier idea about being a guide. But it's not easy to find those kinds of opportunities.
Speaker A: That's true. But it would suit you well. You are good with people and love nature.
Speaker B: Yes, that's what I was thinking. It's just a matter of finding the right fit.
Speaker A: Absolutely! I'll keep my eyes open for any opportunities that might come up.
Speaker B: Thanks, I appreciate that. It's always good to have an extra set of eyes looking out for you.
Speaker A: Of course! I'd do anything for a friend. "Hey, remember when you told me about your trip to Japan and all those amazing hiking trails there, right?"
|
Speaker A: "Hey, remember when you told me about your trip to Japan and all those amazing hiking trails there, right?"

Speaker B: "Actually, I have never mentioned going to Japan or its hiking trails. You might be confusing it with another conversation."

"He hogs everything. In my house, the pecking order is children, dog, and then me. I guess that's why I like hiking so much, I don't have to compete with anyone when out on the trail.",

"That's a great store. I think you'll like working there. My friend worked there for a while and she loved the people. And that's a great trail, too. ",
"I was thinking of getting a cheap hammock and just leaving it along the river, set up, so anyone can use it. Then I wouldn't have to carry it each time I go. Do you think that would be okay?",
"Sure, if you don't mind not being able to use it every time you hike! Hopefully no one else would steal it. ",
"I don't think many people know about the spot. It's a hidden path off of the main hiking trail. It's a great primitive camping spot too. I think anyone who stumbled upon it might deserve it, I wouldn't consider it stealing.",
"Well cool then! Are you going to use the money you make at the store to buy the hammock?",
"Yes, but I will not buy the hammock from the store I am trying to work at. I'll buy the hammock online, probably some cheap Chinese one that I won't mind losing. ",
"That makes sense to me! Say, do you want to meet up and go for a walk or a hike sometime? It's been a while.",

Speaker A: Hey there! How have you been since we last talked?
Speaker B: I've been good! I'm still helping John with his projects. How about you? Did you start your new job at the grocery store?
Speaker A: Yes, I did. It's been a bit challenging adjusting to the third shift schedule, but I'm getting used to it.
Speaker B: I can imagine. It must be tough. How's the team at your new job?
Speaker A: They're all really nice and supportive. It's been a good experience so far.
Speaker B: That's great to hear. And how about the hammock? Have you been able to relax in it after your shifts?
Speaker A: Actually, I haven't had the chance yet. I've been so tired after my shifts that I just head straight to bed.
Speaker B: I can see how that might be the case. Hopefully, you'll adjust soon.
Speaker A: Yes, I hope so too. By the way, have you given any more thought to working in the park system?
Speaker B: I have, and I'm considering applying for a guide position. I've been doing a lot of research and it seems like something I'd really enjoy.
Speaker A: It does sound like a perfect fit for you. I know you love being out in nature.
Speaker B: That's true. Plus, it'd be a great way to make some money while doing something I enjoy.
Speaker A: Absolutely. And speaking of nature, have you been on any good hikes recently?
Speaker B: Not yet, but I was thinking we should plan our own hike soon. "So you're planning on setting up that hammock on our next hike, right?"

Speaker B: "So you're planning on setting up that hammock on our next hike, right?"

"Yeah. It is a perk of working on the farm. We blend our assets together and I'm sure I will be using the truck for the farm work, so it's not all mine really. Do your kids drink soy or almond milk? How do they eat cereal?",
"We usually go almond milk. Cow's milk doesn't sit well on their stomaches for some reason, even the lactose-free kind. I'm hoping they'll grow out of that. I miss cow's milk myself. I buy it every now and then, but if the kids get into it, it's a disaster for at least a day, and I don't have time to play milk police.",
"Oh no, that's a challenge. Almond and rice milk are pretty good, but I would also miss regular milk. I am sure in the city it's a lot easier to get special foods like gluten free and dairy free if you need it. What if anything, do you like about living in the city?",
"I love how late everything is open. Like you said, there's a wide availability of products, and on a mom schedule, sometimes I need to do my shopping very late. It's mostly just convenient to live in the city, but I appreciate what the country has to offer too. Do you think you'd like a city at all?",
"I used to live in a suburb of DC and I liked some things. I agree, I miss stores and restaurants being open all night. In the small town in the country, there is not much in the way of culture and I miss that. Everything closes on Sunday and town is done at maybe 8pm. ",
"Yeah, once you have convenience it's hard to go back. When I go visit my friends in the country we can't even use food delivery services most of the time. I think there are ups and downs to both. Maybe one day I'll hit the lotto and be able to have a city and a country house.",
"That would be ideal, to have a city and country house, or a summer and winter home and maybe do Airbnb part of the year. Yeah, we don't even have Uber or Lyft here. The biggest store is Walmart. We can dream about hitting the lotto, yes. That would be awesome. I would buy a bunch of sound equipment and play blues music. ",
"That would be amazing! I know that equipment can be SO expensive. But yeah, no ride shares, no Grubhub or Door Dash. But there's a lot more peace and quiet I'll bet.",
"Yes, there are pros and cons to country life. We eat really well with fresh produce and get a lot of fresh air. I don't miss the traffic at all. Around DC, it was so bad and it took an hour to go what was a 20 minute trip anywhere else. I love the peace out here. Our town is famous for Silver Queen Sweet Corn. I can travel to the city when I want and live out here though. That's not bad. Would you want to move to a suburb or the country?",
"Oh, I think I'd probably like to go full country if I'm going to do it. And I'm ready to not be so close to neighbors"

"I see that the lotto is big this week. Have you bought a ticket yet? This could be your chance.",
"Yes, I bought 20 tickets when I saw how big the jackpot had gotten. I don't think it's possible that I lose!",
"Nice! I bought some too. 50 to be exact! My family thinks it's dumb of me to buy so many lol but hey it's worth a shot.",
"You can't win if you don't play. I know that for sure. Hey, I had a really crazy idea and wanted to hear what you thought about it.",
"Exactly! Yeah for sure, what's the crazy idea?? I'm very intrigued.",
"So you know how when a jackpot is won by multiple people, they split it evenly with each winner? So if the prize is $100 million and four people get the winning numbers, each person gets 25% of the jackpot? Well think about this. If I bought 20 tickets, all with the same numbers, and won the jackpot with three other people, instead of getting 25% of the jackpot, I'd get 20/23rds of the jackpot instead! So that's what I did!",
"LOL but now you only have one chance of winning! I did different numbers for all of my 50 tickets so I have 50 chances.",
"Yeah, both strategies have their pros and cons. But if I win I want it to be on the news. They'll say, \"There were 23 winners of the jackpot.\" And then people will think, \"Well that's lame. Each person takes home such a tiny amount.\" But then they'll say, \"One insanely brilliant person had 20 winning tickets and is therefore getting the bulk of the jackpot.\"",
"Haha, ok ok that would be pretty funny. How are the kids doing?",
"They've been a handful lately. Some of them have been sick this week. I got a fever myself. Actually, for a while I thought I was a bit delirious. Maybe that factored into my buying 20 lotto tickets with the same numbers.",
"Aw that's a bummer. Hopefully they are all feeling a little better this week! And now I completely understand why you bought those tickets now LOL",
"Thanks. Yes, they'll be fine in no time. They bounce back from just about anything. And then keep bouncing and bouncing and bouncing."

"We usually go almond milk. Cow's milk doesn't sit well on their stomaches for some reason, even the lactose-free kind. I'm hoping they'll grow out of that. I miss cow's milk myself. I buy it every now and then, but if the kids get into it, it's a disaster for at least a day, and I don't have time to play milk police.",
"Oh no, that's a challenge. Almond and rice milk are pretty good, but I would also miss regular milk. I am sure in the city it's a lot easier to get special foods like gluten free and dairy free if you need it. What if anything, do you like about living in the city?",
"I love how late everything is open. Like you said, there's a wide availability of products, and on a mom schedule, sometimes I need to do my shopping very late. It's mostly just convenient to live in the city, but I appreciate what the country has to offer too. Do you think you'd like a city at all?",
"I used to live in a suburb of DC and I liked some things. I agree, I miss stores and restaurants being open all night. In the small town in the country, there is not much in the way of culture and I miss that. Everything closes on Sunday and town is done at maybe 8pm. ",
"Yeah, once you have convenience it's hard to go back. When I go visit my friends in the country we can't even use food delivery services most of the time. I think there are ups and downs to both. Maybe one day I'll hit the lotto and be able to have a city and a country house.",
"That would be ideal, to have a city and country house, or a summer and winter home and maybe do Airbnb part of the year. Yeah, we don't even have Uber or Lyft here. The biggest store is Walmart. We can dream about hitting the lotto, yes. That would be awesome. I would buy a bunch of sound equipment and play blues music. ",
"That would be amazing! I know that equipment can be SO expensive. But yeah, no ride shares, no Grubhub or Door Dash. But there's a lot more peace and quiet I'll bet.",
"Yes, there are pros and cons to country life. We eat really well with fresh produce and get a lot of fresh air. I don't miss the traffic at all. Around DC, it was so bad and it took an hour to go what was a 20 minute trip anywhere else. I love the peace out here. Our town is famous for Silver Queen Sweet Corn. I can travel to the city when I want and live out here though. That's not bad. Would you want to move to a suburb or the country?",
"Oh, I think I'd probably like to go full country if I'm going to do it. And I'm ready to not be so close to neighbors"

"I see that the lotto is big this week. Have you bought a ticket yet? This could be your chance.",
"Yes, I bought 20 tickets when I saw how big the jackpot had gotten. I don't think it's possible that I lose!",
"Nice! I bought some too. 50 to be exact! My family thinks it's dumb of me to buy so many lol but hey it's worth a shot.",
"You can't win if you don't play. I know that for sure. Hey, I had a really crazy idea and wanted to hear what you thought about it.",
"Exactly! Yeah for sure, what's the crazy idea?? I'm very intrigued.",
"So you know how when a jackpot is won by multiple people, they split it evenly with each winner? So if the prize is $100 million and four people get the winning numbers, each person gets 25% of the jackpot? Well think about this. If I bought 20 tickets, all with the same numbers, and won the jackpot with three other people, instead of getting 25% of the jackpot, I'd get 20/23rds of the jackpot instead! So that's what I did!",
"LOL but now you only have one chance of winning! I did different numbers for all of my 50 tickets so I have 50 chances.",
"Yeah, both strategies have their pros and cons. But if I win I want it to be on the news. They'll say, \"There were 23 winners of the jackpot.\" And then people will think, \"Well that's lame. Each person takes home such a tiny amount.\" But then they'll say, \"One insanely brilliant person had 20 winning tickets and is therefore getting the bulk of the jackpot.\"",
"Haha, ok ok that would be pretty funny. How are the kids doing?",
"They've been a handful lately. Some of them have been sick this week. I got a fever myself. Actually, for a while I thought I was a bit delirious. Maybe that factored into my buying 20 lotto tickets with the same numbers.",
"Aw that's a bummer. Hopefully they are all feeling a little better this week! And now I completely understand why you bought those tickets now LOL",
"Thanks. Yes, they'll be fine in no time. They bounce back from just about anything. And then keep bouncing and bouncing and bouncing."

"I just bought a new iphone yesterday which is too expensive.",
"Oh I see. Are you happy with it other than the price?",
"I am. I like listening to Blues on it, plus there are apps to help mix music",
"I do love that about the iphone, the ability to mix music. Maybe you will win the lotto and that will help pay for the expense of it.",
"I'll keep trying! Have you had any luck lately?",
"No I haven't! I keep hoping that I will so I can buy my dreamhouse but I know the chances are low.",
"Would you move to the city? It'd be too much for me",
"I would love to be able to have a country house and a city house to be able to come and go to each one as I please. doesn't that sound like a dream come true?",
"It would be convenient for seeing concerts in the city, yes. I'm not used to the business, though",
"Yeah I understand that. Have you listened to any new blues songs lately?",
"I've started a playlist but haven't had time yet. Any recommendations for female blues performers?",
"I always have trouble finding good blues female singers that I like. There are a few I suppose but I think most blues singers are men."

Speaker A: I finally got around to making my blues playlist. I even found a couple of good female performers.
Speaker B: Really? Who are they? I've been looking for some new music.
Speaker A: One of them is called Shemekia Copeland. Her music is fantastic.
Speaker B: I'll have to check her out. I'm always on the lookout for new tunes. How's the farm work going?
Speaker A: It's been busy with the harvest season, but I enjoy it. There's a sense of satisfaction in working with the land.
Speaker B: That's nice. It's great that you love what you do. Have you thought about taking a break though?
Speaker A: Occasionally, yes. But then I realize that I love the peacefulness of my work. It's hard to imagine being away for too long.
Speaker B: That's understandable. It's not easy to step away from something you love. Any plans for the weekend?
Speaker A: Nothing much, just the usual. Maybe I'll spend some time on my music mixing app. I've been neglecting it lately.
Speaker B: Sounds like a perfect way to unwind. You always had a knack for music.
Speaker A: I just enjoy messing around with the different sounds. It's a good way to relax.
Speaker B: Well, keep enjoying what you do. It's the best way to live.
Speaker A: I believe so too. You can't beat the peace and quiet of the countryside.
Speaker B: "So you're still planning to go back to college soon, right?"
|
Speaker B: "So you're still planning to go back to college soon, right?"
|
Speaker A: "No, I have never been to college and have no plans to go. I enjoy my peaceful life working on the farm."

Speaker A: Hi there, B! It's been a while since we last spoke. How have you been?
Speaker B: Hi A! I've been doing well, thanks for asking. How about you? How was your trip to Spain?
Speaker A: The trip was fantastic! Spain is such a beautiful country, I really enjoyed my time there. And my son's girlfriend is just as sweet as he described.
Speaker B: That sounds lovely. I'm glad you had a good time. How about your visit to Portugal? Did you manage to come by?
Speaker A: Yes, I did! I must say, Lisbon is stunning. Your holiday house is in such a serene location, it was the perfect place to unwind.
Speaker B: I'm glad you liked it! And did you manage with the language? I remember you were planning to learn Spanish and Portuguese.
Speaker A: Oh, I tried! The Spanish soap operas helped a little. But both languages were quite a challenge. I think I need more practice.
Speaker B: Haha, I can imagine. It's always tricky learning a new language. Did you get a chance to try out any local delicacies?
Speaker A: Oh yes, I tried a lot of Spanish and Portuguese food. I even tried some Mexican food at a place called China Dragon. Their enchiladas were delicious.
Speaker B: That sounds like an interesting combination! I hope you had a great time trying out different cuisines.
Speaker A: I did. I wish my boys could have joined me. They missed out on a lot of good food.
Speaker B: Well, you can always cook for them at home. I'm sure they'd appreciate that.
Speaker A: "Your boys really enjoyed the Mexican food we had at China Dragon, didn't they?"

Speaker A: "Your boys really enjoyed the Mexican food we had at China Dragon, didn't they?"

Speaker B: "No, actually, my boys didn't join us at China Dragon. Only your boys were there. Also, my boys don't really enjoy Mexican food because it upsets their stomach."

Speaker A: She is a very sweet girl, just as I had imagined. She really cares for my son and that's what matters the most.
Speaker B: I'm glad to hear that. And did you also get a chance to visit Portugal?
Speaker A: Yes, I did! I visited Lisbon and it was absolutely beautiful. Your holiday house is really nice, thank you for letting me stay there.
Speaker B: I'm glad you liked it. Lisbon is a beautiful city indeed. So, what's next? Any more travel plans?
Speaker A: Not at the moment. I'm taking a break from traveling for a while.
Speaker B: Speaking of traveling, I heard a rumor that your sons might be planning a trip to Japan. Is that true?
Speaker A: Oh, really? I wasn't aware of that. They didn't mention anything about a trip to Japan.

"Wow, I've never had that. Is it chewy?"

"When is your first music concert this summer?",
"I went to a concert on the fourth of July. It was great. What sort of art museum are you going to?",
"The museum has all sorts of galleries. It has a sculpture garden outside. I mostly like the impressionist paintings. I like Van Gogh. Was your concert outdoors?",
"Yes. That way they could have a fireworks show too. I love fireworks. Have you ever seen the fireworks at the Disney castle?",
"No, but I have been to Disney World in Florida. I love fireworks too. I want to get married on the 4th of July. That was we will have a national holiday and fireworks for us every year! It sounds like you've been to Disneyland?",
"No, but I thought you might have since you lived in LA for awhile. Did you get to see any live Disney music performances while you were at Disney World?",
"No, we rode a lot of rides that broke down. We had to be rescued from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. It was stuck. Someone put on waders and pushed us to the side to climb out.",
"Oh no! Hopefully your trip to the art museum is much better than that. Did your boyfriend go to Disney World too?",
"No, I had a cousin that I went with. We stayed in a hotel in Miami too and I got so sunburned on the beach! I'm sure the art museum will be good if it isn't too crowded. Was your concert crowded?",
"It was so crowded, but my older brothers went with me and kept me from getting squished. Make sure you wear sunscreen when you visit the beach this time!",
"Yes, I know to put on SPF 75 this time! So what is the art museum in Sao Paulo like?",
"It is the best in South America! They have a huge collection of European art, and, of course, a lot of Brazilian art too. Are your daughters going to the beach with you?"

Speaker A: I heard you've been working on some new music lately. How's that coming along?
Speaker B: Yes, I've been spending a lot of time in the studio lately. It's been a productive period, I've composed a few new songs.
Speaker A: That's fantastic! Do you have any upcoming concerts planned?
Speaker B: Unfortunately, not at the moment. The situation with COVID-19 makes it difficult to hold large events, but I'm hoping things will get better soon.
Speaker A: Yeah, I understand. These are challenging times. Have you considered online concerts?
Speaker B: Yes, I've done a couple of live sessions on Instagram. It's different, but it's great to still be able to connect with fans.
Speaker A: That's a great idea. On a different note, have you been working on any new art pieces?
Speaker B: Yes, I've been painting more recently. It's a great stress reliever for me.
Speaker A: That's wonderful! Your artistic skills are truly commendable. Do you have any plans of showcasing your work?
Speaker B: I'm considering it. Maybe after the pandemic, I can organize a small exhibition.
Speaker A: I'm sure it would be a success. By the way, have you been to any good art museums recently?
Speaker B: No, not recently. But I do have fond memories of the art museums I've visited in the past, particularly in Sao Paulo.
Speaker A: "Did you enjoy your time living in Brazil?"
|
Speaker A: "Did you enjoy your time living in Brazil?"

Speaker B: "I've never lived in Brazil, I was born in San Paulo, Brazil but I don't currently reside there."

Speaker A: So, how have you been? You must have attended quite a few concerts since we last spoke.
Speaker B: Oh yes, I've been to a handful. The last one was in a small indoor venue, quite a change from the outdoor ones during the summer. And what about your art interest? Have you visited any museums recently?
Speaker A: Yes, I actually have a trip planned to the Museum of Art of São Paulo next week. I'm really excited about it!
Speaker B: Oh that sounds amazing! The museum has a vast collection, doesn't it?
Speaker A: Yes, it's known for its huge collection of European and Brazilian art. I’m particularly interested in the European art section. I'm hoping to see some Van Gogh’s work there.
Speaker B: That should be quite an experience. Are you going to any other places in São Paulo?
Speaker A: I'm not sure yet. I want to focus on the museum for this trip. Maybe I'll explore other places next time.
Speaker B: Sounds like a good plan. São Paulo has a lot to offer. Just be sure not to get sunburned like your last trip to Miami.
Speaker A: Oh, don't remind me of that! This time I'm prepared, I have my SPF 75 ready!
Speaker B: That's good, always better to be safe than sorry. By the way, who are you going with?
Speaker A: Well, actually...
Speaker B: "So you are planning to visit the Museum of Art of São Paulo alone, right?"

Speaker B: "So you are planning to visit the Museum of Art of São Paulo alone, right?"

I had the chance to visit all the prehistoric caves with paintings in the Southwest region of France. Plus, Spain was just a few hours away by train, so I visited Spain quite a few times as well. Oh, the good old times. If only I were this excited about my career!",
"The French have the best food I have ever eaten plus the life style is so chill! I miss going to the bakeries in the mornings to get freshly baked baguettes and croissants. If you become a chef you could travel to different countries and workright?",
"You're right! You just gave me an idea. I think I should pursue a career as a chef. That will give me the chance to go to different countries, learn the local cuisine, and maybe someday I can even open up my own restaurant!"

Speaker B: I hope so. I have a passion for cooking, so I think it's going to be a great adventure for me.
Speaker A: I bet. Plus, you'll get to travel and learn about different cuisines. You're going to love it!
Speaker B: I look forward to it. I hope I can visit France again. I miss the food there.
Speaker A: Oh, the cheese and wine there is amazing. I'm sure you'll pick up some great recipes.
Speaker B: I'm looking forward to it. Do you remember when we used to talk about French food and wine?
Speaker A: Yes, of course, it was fun. We both loved it there. I'm sure you'll do great at this culinary school.
Speaker B: Thank you for the encouragement. I hope so.
Speaker A: And once you've learned to cook all these amazing dishes, you'll have to invite me over for dinner.
Speaker B: Definitely! And maybe I could prepare a special dessert with a side of Bordeaux wine.

"They were just simple chicken fajitas. I was thinking about making shrimp ones sometime. What is your project about?",
"I like chicken fajitas. Can you share the recipe now? The project is building my resume and I have my own deadline to apply for companies.",
"I'll text it to you later. I want to make sure I have everything right. A resume is a big deal. Do you already know the companies your want to apply to?",
"That will work. I am not certain on the type of work I want to do. I am researching further and playing around a bit with my resume. Where do you work?",
"I do a little bit of freelance work here and there, but what I enjoy the most is volunteering at animal shelters.",
"Wow! What type of animals do you care at place you volunteer. I am interested in volunteering too!",
"They are mainly dogs, but there are also cats. My favorite are when new puppies are brought in. They are snapped up really quickly ",
"Well, I am not fan of puppies for sure. Cats are okay. How many animals do you have at your shelter?",
"How come you don't like puppies? They are so cute!",
"I find kittens to be cute. Thats my personal preference. I enjoy playing with them."

"A new cat arrived at the shelter. He is very cute, but not cuter than puppies!",
"Why do you like puppies so much? What's so different about kittens and puppies? Aren't they just both babies? ",
"Yes but puppies are just so cute with their beady eyes and always wagging their tails and following you everywhere!",
"You have a point. It is nice to see puppies wagging their tail and just following you! Changing topics, do you have any recipes with asparagus? You know, it's such a popular vegetable, but I just don't know how to prepare it.",
"I don't have recipes but I know how to make a good grilled asparagus. Are you looking to bolster your chef book?",
"I sure am! Grilled asparagus does sound good. Do you pair the grilled asparagus with your fajitas? What do you prefer, chicken or beef fajitas?",
"I prefer chicken to beef. I pair it with beef fajitas andI think it's great to have with a glass of merlot. Do you like wine?",
"You're making me hungry! Yes, I do love wine. As a matter of fact, I used to live in the Bordeaux region in France, so my favorite wine is Bordeaux wine. But I also love champagne and cognac.",
"Haha, I know right? I lived in the Champagne region for a bit! Always wanted to go to Bordeaux. How was it there?",
"I didn't know that you also lived in France for a while! I love French food, especially the bread and fruit pastries. Living in Bordeaux was fun! I had the chance to visit all the prehistoric caves with paintings in the Southwest region of France. Plus, Spain was just a few hours away by train, so I visited Spain quite a few times as well. Oh, the good old times. If only I were this excited about my career!",
"The French have the best food I have ever eaten plus the life style is so chill! I miss going to the bakeries in the mornings to get freshly baked baguettes and croissants. If you become a chef you could travel to different countries and workright?",
"You're right! You just gave me an idea. I think I should pursue a career as a chef. That will give me the chance to go to different countries, learn the local cuisine, and maybe someday I can even open up my own restaurant!"

Speaker A: I see your interest in cooking has really taken off since our last chat.
Speaker B: It has! I've been experimenting with different recipes and cuisines. I've even started a blog to share my experiences.
Speaker A: That's great to hear! Any particular cuisine that has stood out for you?
Speaker B: Well, I've been trying to recreate a lot of the French dishes I fell in love with while living in Bordeaux. But it's tough to get the same flavors.
Speaker A: Ah, the joys of French cuisine. There's nothing quite like it, is there?
Speaker B: Absolutely not! The flavors are so rich and unique. I'm still trying to perfect my baguette recipe though.
Speaker A: I can imagine. French bakeries are just something else. One of the things I miss the most from my time there.
Speaker B: I can relate to that too well. I remember the smell of freshly baked breads and pastries every morning. It was heavenly!
Speaker A: Yes, those were the days! By the way, have you tried pairing your meals with some good wine?
Speaker B: Definitely! I've been exploring some local wines as well. Nothing compares to Bordeaux wine, though.
Speaker A: I agree, Bordeaux wines are exceptional. But don't forget about Champagne, they have some amazing wines too.
Speaker B: So, you've never lived in France before, right?

Speaker B: "So, you've never lived in France before, right?"
|
Speaker A: "That's not correct. I lived in the Champagne region in France and I really miss the French lifestyle and food, especially the bakeries."
