[Speaker 1] i know right, and they're pretty trendy nowdays too. just got it few months ago.

[Speaker 2] that's awesome. more and more places are having charging stations, too. I don't drive because I worry too much about the environment but if I did, i'd want a tesla. was it super expensive?

[Speaker 1] it was a bit pricey but worth it. not driving probably gives you a chance to take naps in the back seat? haha

[Speaker 2] sometimes! i'm just a sleepy dude. I have an autoimmune thing that makes me always nap-happy and that's one of the reasons I don't drive, too. it's embarassing but it's true. at least I can keep my job and do normal stuff otherwise!

[Speaker 1] Hopefully not.  I paid a bunch of money for this car.

[Speaker 2] Where were you planning on going with the car?

[Speaker 1] I was just planning on using it for my normal life.  I just like to show off to be honest.

[Speaker 2] I'm a more mellow guy, if that's what you're looking for? I plan on chillaxing at the beach this afternoon. You can take an uber there?

[Speaker 1] that would be great.  It would really help with the stress of the car situation.

[Speaker 2] Cool! Feel free to bring along the kids; maybe do some light biking as well?

[Speaker 1] that would be great.  The kids have been on their phones a lot lately and I need to make them be at least somewhat active.

[Speaker 2] My kids are like energy bunnies outdoors! Seeing as you have a Tesla, my son is also a fanboi for Teslas and Lambos

[Speaker 1] I'll have to get it repaired for his sake haha.

My kids have a lot of energy when they are outdoors. My son likes Teslas and Lambos.

I have only watched 2 of the Fast and Furious movies.

[Speaker 1] Sorry I missed you this weekend at the beach, I finally heard back from the Tesla dealership and they needed me to drop the car off for repairs.

[Speaker 2] No worries. I was not really surprised. We had a great time though. Do you know how much the repairs will be?

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure yet, probably in the $500 range. It's a lot but it's an expensive car. I don't mind spending the money, as I need a car to get around. How was the beach? It looked like good weather.

[Speaker 2] That does not sound bad for the type of vehicle. I would be pissed that it broke down so quickly though! The beach was delightful, but I stayed too long and now I am as red as a red delicious apple.

[Speaker 1] It's unfortunate, but things break. Oh no! Hopefully you put some aloe on it. That always helps me. Did you bring your son with you?

[Speaker 2] That is a good idea. I am over here with 7 ice packs hahahaha. I did. He doesn't burn though. Youth, am I right? You really should join us sometime.

[Speaker 1] Ha! So true. I'd love that. I need some 'vitamin sea'. Work and my kids are getting to me!

[Speaker 2] Hahaha that is punny! Haha I will gladly leave my son if you want to pick me up in your fancy car and hit the beach!

[Speaker 1] It sounds very tempting! We should totally do it some day. I could used distraction with some good company.

[Speaker 2] Sounds perfect to me. Maybe I won't fall asleep this time. My son did not even try to cover me with a towel or anything. Just let me roast out there.

[Speaker 1] Haha! That's too funny, kids, am I right?

[Speaker 2] Have you found ways to get yours off the phone?

I am handsome. I am blonde.

I like movies about fast cars.

I like go to the beach.

I work for a tech company.

I like to show off with my car.

I like to visit the beach. I am under a lot of stress with my broken down car. It will cost me $500 to fix my car.

I am a fan of movies about fast cars.

Aloe helps me when I get sunburn.

I am tired. I want to go on vacation.

I like drama movies, horror movies.

I would like to nap on the beach.

I had fun at the beach. I have sunburn from the beach. I have a young son and he does not get burnt in the sun.

[Speaker 1] My parents bought me a beach house.

[Speaker 2] Holy smokes, that's an amazing gift!  Where is it located?

[Speaker 1] Point Sur. It has 8 bedrooms. I already have a decorator lined up to redeorate the entire house

[Speaker 2] Wow, that's incredible.  Your parents must be incredibly wealthy to buy you that.  Are you going to be able to afford the property taxes?  You seemed troubled by a $500 bill for your car previously.

[Speaker 1] My parents will pay the property taxes. $500 is nothing for me. I have spent more on dinner. Does your son have a Tesla?

[Speaker 2] No, he's not old enough to drive yet.  He just likes Teslas.  He wants one when he's old enough but I won't buy one for him and he won't be able to afford one for a long time.

[Speaker 1] Which ones does he like? I have a model X.

[Speaker 2] He likes the Model S, then the Model 3.  He thinks the Model X is sort of lame.

[Speaker 1] Lame? How cute! How is the sunburn?

[Speaker 2] It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought.  I didn't even use aloe.  In fact, I got some compliments from some cute girls saying I had a great tan.  I told them I'm married, though.  Actually, I just tell people I'm married because it deters the guys and seems to attract the gals.  Although my wife doesn't like that.

[Speaker 1] Yes, the last thing you want to do is upset your wife! I am glad to hear it is healing well. Do you have any beach plans coming up?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I was thinking of going back to the beach and seeing if I get anymore compliments from young ladies.  I won't take my wife.

[Speaker 1] I live on a dairy farm and we have agricultural association meetings here too.

[Speaker 2] That's not the meetings I mean. I have a problem with alcohol like my dad.

[Speaker 1] I am so very sorry I misunderstood. My pop could have used that kind of support.

[Speaker 2] It's all good. I've got a baby coming soon and a steady income now.

[Speaker 1] That's awesome to hear! I love my profession. I find it keeps me focused.

[Speaker 2] How'd you get into that?

[Speaker 1] Well I was always interested in computers from an early age.

[Speaker 2] How young were you when you knew?

[Speaker 1] Id have to say ten or twelve. Was kind of my escape when my pop got violent.

[Speaker 2] That's crazy man. How old are you?

I live on a dairy farm.

[Speaker 1] My tractor has a problem. Can you work on farm equipment?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I have worked on a few tractors before now. What exactly is wrong with it?

[Speaker 1] There is something wrong with the fuel system. You can hear it when it starts and when its been running for a while. I am not sure exactly what is causing it.

[Speaker 2] Right ok. When are you free for me to come over?

[Speaker 1] Anytime in the next few days works. I know you're busy with work and getting ready for the baby and don't want to rush you. I don't plan on using the tractor until next week Wednesday.

[Speaker 2] Ok, i'll try and make it over in the next few days. What else have you been doing this week?

[Speaker 1] My job has been keeping me very busy. Between that and the dairy farm I am surprised that I have any hours left in the days. At least my kids are a huge help.

[Speaker 2] I see! How are the kids?

[Speaker 1] They are doing great. Jennifer is doing really good in school. Brent just started baseball this spring and is really catching on fast, and Rob is really been a huge help at the farm. He gets up early to milk the cows several days a week to help me out. They all help, but he's been the most interested in farming.

[Speaker 2] Ah that is good to hear! How are the milk sales right now?

[Speaker 1] Average. Things have been very steady. I think we are at the perfect amount right now to keep us busy but also turn a decent profit.

[Speaker 2] Great, I know it is hard! You hear a lot about the farmers struggling on the news

I have more than 1 dog.

I live on a dairy farm. I sell milk from my dairy farm.  The farm is profitable.

[Speaker 1] My son, Rob, wants to learn more about fixing tractors.  Can he help when you come over to take a look at our tractor?

[Speaker 2] Of course! I'd love to help him learn more about them.

[Speaker 1] Thanks so much! The tractor has still been making noises like I mentioned before.. the cows don't like it very much, haha!

[Speaker 2] Haha, I'm sure they don't. They live such peaceful lives! It should be an easy fix, but don't worry I'll get it taken care of for you. Do you have a day that is good for you for me to come over?

[Speaker 1] If it's good for you any week day after 5 would work for us! That way Rob is home from school to lend you a hand and I can be there to offer help if needed also.. we bottle fresh milk on Mondays, so if you can stop by on Monday we'll give you all the milk you can carry as an extra thanks!

[Speaker 2] Yall don't have to do that, but that would be so awesome to have fresh milk! How about next Monday at 6:30 or will that interrupt with dinner?

[Speaker 1] 6:30 is great! With that new baby I'm sure you guys could use the milk!

[Speaker 2] Ok, great! I'll see yall then. Yes we can! My husband drinks a lot of it too.

[Speaker 1] Oh mine too! Probably a half gallon to himself a day haha, we are sooo grateful for our cows!

[Speaker 2] I bet so! I think it is so awesome what you all do!

[Speaker 1] And same to you! I could stand to learn a thing or two about fixing the tractor myself! I won't have Rob to help out on the farm forever.

[Speaker 2] Well you know I'm available to help whenever, but you're more than welcome to come learn some too!

I have more than 1 dog.

I have cows. My son Rob lives with me. I bottle fresh milk on my farm. I bottle milk on Mondays.

I have a new baby. I am married. My husband loves milk too.

[Speaker 1] I am sure being a mechanic you picked up on some skills to work on tractors, but did you have any specific training to help you understand how tractors work?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I worked on a lot tractors since i had my baby. I learned everything while working on them. Did you get yours fixed?

[Speaker 1] Yes, working on a dairy farm means that I have to learn how to fix such issues from time to time. You must be excited about your new baby!

[Speaker 2] Yes Im sure you will find your way around them, or maybe looking into John Deere tractors  they're the best in the market. My baby boy is a blessing, he's worth all those cramps.

[Speaker 1] Haha I understand. Maybe after he's a bit grown up, you can all come over to my farm and meet my kids.

[Speaker 2] That would be wonderful. Me and my husband are still working on the name though. How old is your son?

[Speaker 1] Brent is 6 and Rob is 8. Both are great kids. Maybe your kid will enjoy meeting our cows in the farm.

[Speaker 2] For sure, We all enjoy that fresh milk. DId you had a C section for any of your kids?

[Speaker 1] No it was all natural, I was lucky! I saw in the news that the number of C sections is increasing. Did you see that article?

[Speaker 2] No, Ill read it later. You're lucky even mine was suppose to be natural but i had a C section. Did you know that babies are natural swimmer?

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, is that right? I suppose that is true of most animals now that I think of it.

[Speaker 2] It is true but friend of mine started talking about it as joke though like babies start swimming in our wombs because it is filled with all those fluids and that's how they learn. Lol

I think John Deere tractors are the best on the market.

I planned to have a natural birth but had to have a C section. I enjoy facts about babies. I talk with my friends about babies.

[Speaker 1] Have you made any progress on your son's name?

[Speaker 2] Unfortunately no! We just can't seem to pick out a name. Do you have any suggestions?

[Speaker 1] I don't have any suggestions personally but you could always go online and search baby boy names, or simply name him after your husband he could be a second.

[Speaker 2] That's an idea we had considered but we just aren't sure. Speaking of husbands how is yours doing?

[Speaker 1] Oh he is great, he's been coaching my son Brent's baseball games, and still drinking as much milk as ever. How is your job as a mechanic working out?

[Speaker 2] It's going good! I'm Blessed to have the job that I enjoy doing. I've really been working hard to get my life straight and get to the point where I'm happy and healthy. I'm fortunate!

[Speaker 1] That is so wonderful. I love to hear that you are doing something you love. I mentioned that I have a dairy farm, we have the freshest milk around, I could bring you some by sometime if you'd like.

[Speaker 2] Oh our whole family would love that, especially my husband! Our families should get together and do a bbq or something. Do you have a Saturday open soon?

[Speaker 1] I do have next Saturday open and that sounds great. My place or yours?

[Speaker 2] We would love to host if you don't mind? We have a big pool that the kids could play in, plus some 4 wheelers and stuff they can ride around on.

[Speaker 1] The kids would love that. Do I need to bring anything?

[Speaker 2] Just bring your swim gear and the family! We will provide everything else. Any food allergies I should know about?


I have three cats and two dogs.

I work in a large grocery store.

I didn't finish college but I want to go back.

Growing up in a small town was the best.

My first car was a ford.

I grew up in mexico.

I enjoy drinking and socializing with friends.

I hang out at a karaoke bar most nights.

I own a construction company.

I have two daughters.

I work nights at the grocery store.

I take my pets to the park.

I own a Ford Automobile.

I live in a small town.

I have two daughters. I do not have any pets.

I love karaoke.

I have never owned a Ford.

I grew up in Mexico.

[Speaker 1] Hi. I have no children but a lot of animals.

[Speaker 2] I have two kids, girls. No pet now.

[Speaker 1] I have a job in a food store, working nights.

[Speaker 2] So you get to play with your pets during the day? Nice!

[Speaker 1] Yes, we go to the park if the weather is nice.

[Speaker 2] I work way too much. I am a business owner, in construction.

[Speaker 1] I see. Perhaps I finish university and get better job.

[Speaker 2] Good thinking. I do have my fun, too. I love karaoke!

[Speaker 1] Oh yes that is fun. I own a ford automobile.

[Speaker 2] I never owned ford. Do you like it?

[Speaker 1] Being in a small toen they expect usa domestic cars!

[Speaker 2] I lived in mexico as a child so I'm not partial to any car make.

[Speaker 1] Yes that is now a dangerous country.

[Speaker 2] It is, sadly...depends on the area..

I work nights at the grocery store.

I take my pets to the park.

I own a Ford Automobile.

I live in a small town.

I love karaoke.

I have never owned a Ford.

I grew up in Mexico.

[Speaker 1] Would you ever take your daughters to a trip to Mexico?

[Speaker 2] Definitely, it would be amazing to show them my home town and where I grew up. I would show her my family home where I lived with my parents. Have to ever been to Mexico?

[Speaker 1] That's lovely. I have never been to Mexico. i would have to save up. Besides i can't leave my pets a home for too long.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I understand with pets you have a responsibility to ensure they're taken care off if you go away. That's the reason I don't have any to be honest. I work too much and just don't have the time.

[Speaker 1] How is your construction business going? i hope it's doing really well. Do you have any jobs open?

[Speaker 2] At the moment it's not doing too bad, sales have only just picked up again after a bit of a dry period, but you can't expect it to be busy all year round. In the summer months you certainly get more business as everyone is considering building extensions or conservatories. Have you got any skills in construction at all?

[Speaker 1] I am studying business finance and believe my skills are applicable to most businesses.

[Speaker 2] Well I am more than happy to see if we have any positions available in our finance team. Do you have much knowledge about construction?

[Speaker 1] I don't have construction experience but I am a very fast learner. I am currently looking for part-time jobs until i finish university..

[Speaker 2] Okay well everyone can learn right. It's good that you're finding a job in readiness for when you leave university. I've seen too many people leave it too last minute and then end up struggling to find a position somewhere. You seem like you have your brain switched on, I like that. That's certainty a very good quality and mindset to have.

[Speaker 1] Thanks. Entrepreneurs like you inspire me. i would love to  leave this small town to do great things

[Speaker 2] Well I personally think you're on the right track. Gain some experience within a finance team and finalize what you're greatest qualities are, then use them to your advantage. So like you've said, business finance is something you have knowledge on. Think about how you can help people with that, how you can benefit people's lives because a lot of successful businesses are only successful because they have such an impact on people's lives. If you provide a service that somebody cannot live without, then you are secure for life.

I have no children. I have lots of animals. I take my pets to the park.

I am in university. I would like a better job. I am studying business finance.

I own a Ford Automobile.

I live in a small town.

I have not been to Mexico.

I work nights at the grocery store. I have not worked in construction.  I am a fast learner. I'm looking for a part-time job.

I love karaoke.

I have never owned a Ford.

I grew up in Mexico.

[Speaker 1] How is the construction business going?

[Speaker 2] It isn't too bad as spring time opens up a lot of business for me. Just have to be careful of the rain showers that pop up.

[Speaker 1] that is nice hope you will get something good from it

[Speaker 2] I hope so. How are your animals faring? You are out of school for the summer semester or are you attending this  summer?

[Speaker 1] am doing my internship currently and am doing well cannot complain

[Speaker 2] Great! Are you still at the same job? I was thinking you could put an application in with my business if you are still interested in construction.

[Speaker 1] yeah am very much interested in that and I  will consider this soon and give you a response

[Speaker 2] Thant would be nice. The sooner the better as I have to hire a few part-time employees soon. How are your animals?

[Speaker 1] they are doing well , and am doing my best to keep them healthy

[Speaker 2] That is noble and expensive also, I would imagine. At least they get plenty of exercise at the park. My daughters are happy to be out of school for the summer.

[Speaker 1] wow , that is awesome let them enjoy this summer well

[Speaker 2] Oh, we have a great vacation planned. We are returning to Mexico where I'm from to see relatives and let the girls see some sights. Too bad you couldn't go for your first time to see the country!

I own a Ford Automobile.

I live in a small town.

I have not been to Mexico.

I am doing an internship. I want to work for the other speaker's construction company.

I tend to my animals to keep them healthy.

I love karaoke.

I have never owned a Ford.

My construction business is hiring.

I have a family trip planned to Mexico.I grew up in Mexico.

[Speaker 1] I got my application done and submitted it online to your construction business!  Let me know if you have any questions on it.

[Speaker 2] That's great because we are looking for more people in our finance department! I'll make sure our HR pushes your application to the front.

[Speaker 1] Great!  I really appreciate it.  How are your daughters doing?

[Speaker 2] Being little hellions. I am jealous of your childfree lifestyle right now.

[Speaker 1] Haha that makes me feel better about my choice to be child free.  What are they doing to get on your nerves?

[Speaker 2] Just fighting with each other and getting on each others nerves. Sometimes you just have to lock them outside and let them run around and wear themselves out.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a good idea.  Maybe I can help watch them sometime to give you a break.  Maybe they'll like to play with my pets since you don't have any.

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah that would be great! We can relax with some cocktails in the evening! Any luck in your love life since Jessie?

[Speaker 1] I haven't had any luck.  It's hard to believe that I could ever love anyone like I loved Jessie.  I'm having a hard time even putting myself out there.

[Speaker 2] You already have unconditional love radiating from all your animals... really what more can you need? And I know it's not really my place, but Jessie was a jerk and you are better without them!

[Speaker 1] I know that.  I just think I need more time to get over Jessie before I try dating again.  I wouldn't want to carry that into my next relationship.

[Speaker 2] Good I am glad your recognize that. You have to come over soon! I am so bored.

I own a Ford Automobile.

I live in a small town.

I have not been to Mexico.

Jessie is my ex. I am lonely. I want to be alone.

I have two daughters that are in school but done for the summer. I do not have any pets. My kids exhaust me.

I own a construction business. I work a lot. I am an entrepreneur. Spring brings me a lot of business. I work during the day. I am bored.

I love karaoke.

I have never owned a Ford.

My construction business is hiring.

[Speaker 1] I took my pets to Mexico.

[Speaker 2] Oh really? I bet they had fun. Did they get to experience much of Mexico, or did you leave them in the hotel room most of the time?

[Speaker 1] I left them in the room some of the time.

[Speaker 2] Which city or cities did you visit on your trip? Did you spend any time in Mexico City? I have been there twice, and I loved it both times I was there.

[Speaker 1] We went to Mexico City for a couple days and then to the resort destinations around Cancun. It was a lot of fun, the people were so friendly and the food was excellent. Oh wow twice! That sounds awesome, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.

[Speaker 2] Yes. I didn't do or visit any of the common tourist activities. I mostly spent the daytime walking around my hotel finding good restaurants, and I spent my nights visiting bars and mingling with the locals, practicing my Spanish. What was your most interesting experience in the Cancun resorts?

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a good time. I tried to ask the locals where I should go for the best food so I trusted their recommendations. I think the overall scenery was really beautiful, the water was so clear and blue, and everything felt slower than back at home. Did you experience any of that?

[Speaker 2] The beauty I saw in Mexico City obviously didn't include the blue water of the ocean, but I loved the beautiful old architecture in the downtown area of Mexico City. Next time I go I want to visit the Aztec pyramids which are not too far outside the boundary of Mexico City.

[Speaker 1] Yes the architecture was incredible. The buildings are so unique in every aspect and its probably what I enjoyed the most when I was in Mexico City. That sounds like a great idea I don't know why I didn't think of that.

[Speaker 2] The only thing I didn't like about my trips to Mexico is that there are so many poor destitute homeless families living there. It is heartbreaking to see such an extent of poverty that you don't commonly see in the U

[Speaker 1] I agree it's very sad. I tried to help them out when I could by giving them some money but there's only so much I could do.

[Speaker 2] Same here. But they always seemed to be more appreciative than people in the USA who ask for money. Lots of times here in the USA when you give money to homeless people begging for money they don't even say thanks.


I am a inventor.

I invented a personal teleportation device.

I am able to teleport myself instantly anywhere in the world.

I'm working on a time machine.

I love puppies.

I have five grandchildren.

My new favorite food is mediterranean food.

I love all the older bands like styx and journey.

I love being at the beach.

My favorite season is fall.

I invented a teleportation device that I can use to go anywhere I want. I am developing a time machine. I live in Greece.

I had a puppy named Rose when I was a child.

My favorite season is fall. I love deer season. I have ate venison.

I love Mediterranean food and beaches.

I have five grandchildren. I watched my grandchildren be born.

I like Styx and Journey.

I watch Rick and Morty. My favorite season is fall.

I would love to try venison.

[Speaker 1] Hi, I invented a teleportation device that allows me to go anywhere in the world I want.

[Speaker 2] You mean like the mediterranean! I love the food there, and the beaches.

[Speaker 1] Yes, im also developing a time machine in greece.

[Speaker 2] Impressive. With a time machine I could see the births of my five grandchildren again.

[Speaker 1] I can go back in time and revisit my childhood puppy rosie.

[Speaker 2] We could also go see the greats! Like styx or journey!

[Speaker 1] Yes that sounds like a lot of fun. Did I tell you I am an inventor?

[Speaker 2] An inventor?! Like rick from rick and morty?

[Speaker 1] Yes, just like him actually!

[Speaker 2] Amazing. I can't wait for the next season. Speaking of seasons, I love fall.

[Speaker 1] I love fall too, I cant wait till deer season!

[Speaker 2] I wonder what mediterranean food with venison. Have you tried it?

[Speaker 1] Yes I have had venison multiple times.

[Speaker 2] I hear it is gamy, in a pleasant way. Would love to try some.

I love Mediterranean food and beaches.

I like Styx and Journey.

I would love to try venison.

[Speaker 1] What types of things do you like to do with your grandchildren?

[Speaker 2] I like going to the beach with them. It is truly the best place for children. We always have so much fun together.

[Speaker 1] Do you guys swim, or just play in the sand? I love making sand castles.

[Speaker 2] We do both. The kids really like to bookieboard, make sand castles, look for sand crabs or collect rocks. Next time we are at the beach, you should use your teleportation machine and visit us.

[Speaker 1] Not if I don't want to get sand in it, haha. I miss digging up hermit crabs. I always thought they were so cute. Kids never change, lol.

[Speaker 2] It is so much better for them than watching tv or playing video games.  I need to sign them up to surfing lessons when they a little bit older.

[Speaker 1] Well, how old were you when you started? Seems pretty difficult for a young kid. I still think surfing is a bit dangerous, but isn't anything fun?

[Speaker 2] It is not that dangerous when you have the right skills. I was probably 9 when I first started. I immediately fell in love with it.  How is your time machine going?

[Speaker 1] Pretty fine. If I get it working, maybe I can go back and convince myself to surf!

[Speaker 2] That would be so cool.  Do you think your machines will ever be available to the public?

[Speaker 1] Maybe, but I doubt anyone would be that interested in a one way trip.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I didn't know you can only go one way. Are you going to work on it more?

I invented a teleportation device that I can use to go anywhere I want. I am developing a time machine. My time machine is expected to be only one-way. I live in Greece.

I love making sand castles at the beach. I would like to dig for hermit crabs again.

I think surfing is dangerous.

I love Mediterranean food and beaches.

I like Styx and Journey.

I would love to try venison.

I like going to the beach with my grandchildren. My kids like to make sandcastles, bookie board, and collect rocks and other things at the beach. I want to sign my kids up for surfing lessons.

[Speaker 1] Have you ever gotten injured during surfing? Such as breaking a bone or even hitting your body against some underwater rock.

[Speaker 2] That hasn't happened to me yet, but I know people that take some ridiculous risks out on the waves. I'm not that way. I enjoy getting out on the water and gliding along.

[Speaker 1] That's great. Have you ever tried variety of surfing.

[Speaker 2] You know, I was never interested in anything else but the traditional kind. Some people like boogie boarding and other stuff. I prefer warm-water, no body suit.

[Speaker 1] Okay. I am also like surfing somewhat. But I never tried till.

[Speaker 2] I think it looks dangerous, but pick your challenges. No need to get out on the biggest waves or the roughest surf. Plus surfers are very generous. They like to teach newbies who are respectful of the sport.

[Speaker 1] You are very true. I can definitely take your advice. I will thoroughly follow what you are instructed.

[Speaker 2] What's up with the teleportation device? I figure that THAT would be dangerous, much more dangerous than surfing.

[Speaker 1] I am remembering about that device. I will ask some of friends and tell you later

[Speaker 2] Ok. It's sound like it would be fun. Popping in and out of places, surprising people, robbing banks. Good times!

[Speaker 1] Okay. Thank you. Glad to have you good conversation with you.

[Speaker 2] Sure! Any time! I bet one day I'll read about you in the paper, you and your invention.

I love Mediterranean food and beaches.

I like Styx and Journey.

I would love to try venison.

I started surfing when I was 9. I don't find surfing dangerous. I haven't gotten any injuries while surfing. I do not take risks while surfing.

I only am interested in traditional surfing in warm water.

[Speaker 1] Do you do any other water sports besides surfing?

[Speaker 2] I used to play water polo but I quit after college.  I mostly just like surfing and swimming casually now.

[Speaker 1] I have never tried water polo. Would you recommend it?

[Speaker 2] It's pretty fun!  It's like soccer in the water.  If you like soccer and swimming, you'll love water polo.

[Speaker 1] Maybe I will give it a go. I do like soccer. I am currently watching the Euros. Said that Greece didn't make it though. Are you watching the Euros?

[Speaker 2] I am not.  Who do you want to win now that Greece is out?

[Speaker 1] I am supporting Italy currently. Very strong team at the moment. Lots of people watch the Euros here. Everywhere you go you can hear it on the TV

[Speaker 2] That sounds really interesting.  I really need to start watching.  Are there any good games coming up?

[Speaker 1] Yes, there are a few. Belgium and Portugal and England and Germany are both coming up. Should be both good matches.

[Speaker 2] I'll be sure to tune in! How is developing your time machine going?

[Speaker 1] It is going ok. Making small steps forward. I think I will change the world once I make it.

[Speaker 2] true!  What's the first year you think you'll go back to?

I invented a teleportation device that I can use to go anywhere I want. I am developing a time machine. My time machine is expected to be only one-way. I want to change the world with a time machine. I live in Greece.

I think surfing is dangerous. I am interested in surfing. I watch sports.

I love Mediterranean food and beaches.

I like Styx and Journey.

I would love to try venison.

[Speaker 1] I know someone who is giving away free surf lessons.

[Speaker 2] Yeah you will have to give me the details I would love some surf one's especially if they are free just to give me a taster.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I will have to send you ever the detials maybe we could go together I would love to give it a try aswell.

[Speaker 2] Sounds good to me have you ever surfed before?

[Speaker 1] No I haven't it seems a little dangerous but I bet it is a great rush.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I bet. We can learn from the start together then as beginners.

[Speaker 1] Yeah we can. If we both likle it we can get our own boards then and go any time we want.

[Speaker 2] That would be great we can try different places maybe even abroad to try other countries waves out.

[Speaker 1] Yeah at least we won't have to pay to travel I could just teleport us there, so much quicker and easier.

[Speaker 2] I'd be a bit scared about being teleported it would be a first for me but I suppose you got to try new things hey.

[Speaker 1] There is nothing to be scared of I have done it many times it is completely safe.

[Speaker 2] We will have to do it then I can't wait to learn to surf we can surf the world then lol.

I practice music.

I surf. I love being in the water. I live near the beach.

[Speaker 1] Hello there, right now I'm taking care of my son. What about you?

[Speaker 2] I'm taking a break from my music..

[Speaker 1] I used to be in a boy band myself, why'd you decide to take a break?

[Speaker 2] Cool! I'm just taking a break for the night. Been practicing all day.

[Speaker 1] Taking a break here also, but from meat. Full on vegetarian from here on.

[Speaker 2] What's that like, not eating meat? I can't even imagine.

[Speaker 1] I'm against the killing of animals and their captivity, so its a belief thing.

[Speaker 2] Makes sense - when you put it like that... I still don't think I could do it.

[Speaker 1] Its tough but I get the nutrients I need to be a healthy male from other sources.

[Speaker 2] That's very good to hear ;) I should look into to help with my surfing.

[Speaker 1] I tried surfing once while out on the beach collecting trash to recycle, it was hard.

[Speaker 2] It is, great for the core and being with the water is like nothing else.

[Speaker 1] My son is just getting used to the water, he is learning to paddle with his legs.

[Speaker 2] I've been around water all my life since I live so close to the beach.

I have a son.

I used to be in a boy band.

I am a male. I am healthy.

I have a son. He is learning to swim.

I practice music.

[Speaker 1] How is your surfing going?

[Speaker 2] It’s going great. I’m back out there tomorrow can’t wait to ride the waves.

[Speaker 1] That's great! How long have you been surfing now?

[Speaker 2] About 5 years. You should try doing it again once you got the basics of learning how to balance it’s a nonstop go from there.

[Speaker 1] Maybe I will! I used to love skateboarding, so if that has any similarity to surfing, maybe I will pick it up. What is your favorite beach to surf at?

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah you shouldn’t have too much issues then, if you enjoyed skate boarding you will love to surf. I like the Miami beaches, they get some decent waves down there.

[Speaker 1] Cool, I love Miami. I bet surfing there is amazing.

[Speaker 2] Yeah it pretty incredible. How is teaching your son how to swim going? Maybe one day he can surf with you.

[Speaker 1] It's going really well! He just learned how to swim freestyle and is loving it. I am very proud of him. Do you have any kids?

[Speaker 2] Oh that is AWESOME!! I bet you are proud what an incredible achievement for him. And none yet hopefully one day.

[Speaker 1] Cool! Have you still been practicing music lately?

[Speaker 2] Yeah I try to practice when I can but haven’t had too much time lately, but hopefully it will become a more constant in my life because I do love to play.

I used to be in a boy band.

I am a male. I am healthy.

I have a son. I have been teaching my son how to swim. He has recently learned how to freestyle swim.

I used to skateboard. I loved doing it.

I love Miami.

I love being in the water. I live near the beach. I have been surfing for 5 years. I like surfing at beaches in Miami.

I do not have kids. I am hoping to have some one day.

I practice playing music, but I have not had time to do so recently.

[Speaker 1] What kind of music do you play? Are you good at several types of instruments, or only one kind?

[Speaker 2] I like playing the drums, guitar, and harmonica. I like playing Led Zepplin and Jimi Hendrix songs. My favorite band, though, is Def Leppard, but he is too difficult for me to play.

[Speaker 1] Wow, you can play so many instruments. That's so cool! I can only play guitar. We should play together some time. Have you been to surfing lately?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I caught some good waves. I learned to play harmonica when I was in the marines.

[Speaker 1] That sounds great. I wish I knew how to surf. I bet Miami is a great place for surfing. How's life in Miami besides surfing?

[Speaker 2] The weather's great for surfing. There's a nice music scene in Miami. I like to play the harmonica on the beach sometimes. One day, I would like to be in a band that does concerts on the beach. Then after we finish, we can go surfing.

[Speaker 1] That's a deal. Are there lots of vegetarian restaurants in Miami? Sometimes it's difficult for me to find good restaurants in some cities or countries where vegetarianism are not mainstream

[Speaker 2] I didn't see any, but I am sure there are some around. In your band, did you play guitar? I have never sung while playing an instrument at the same time.

[Speaker 1] I can search a bit online. I'm sure there are some. Thanks though. Yes, I played guitar in my band, but wasn't the vocal. I can sing and play at the same time though. So when you play harmonica on the beach, you don't sing as well?

[Speaker 2] No, I just play the harmonica. My voice is terrible. I attract a lot of attention when I do it. One time, an old man gave me $20 because he thought I was homeless.

[Speaker 1] Oh no, that's funny, lol. Harmonica is a good instrument though. I'm thinking perhaps I should let my son to learn to play it as well. Where did you learn to play Harmonica?

[Speaker 2] When I was in the marines, a fellow marine gave me his harmonica to hold onto while he had to leave for a while. I taught myself, during nights when I was bored and had no one to talk to. It is a good instrument to get start with when trying to learn to play music, because it is a simple instrument to play.

I used to be in a boy band. I can sing and play at the same time.

I am a male. I am healthy.

I've surfed once and found it hard to do. I am interested in learning how to surf. I wish I knew how to surf.

I used to skateboard. I loved doing it.

I love Miami.

I can play the guitar.

I like playing the drums, guitar, and harmonica. I like playing Led Zepplin and Jimi Hendrix songs. My favorite band is Def Leppard.

I learned to play harmonica when I was in the marines.

I have never sung while playing an instrument at the same time.

My voice is terrible. One time,  when I sang an old man gave me $20 because he thought I was homeless.

When I was in the marines, a fellow marine gave me his harmonica to hold onto while he had to leave for a while.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I have started to learn how to play the harmonica, We both are excited!

[Speaker 2] That is so cool. I love harmonica more than other instruments. i miss playing it. Are you learning online?

[Speaker 1] No I am taking classes at the local music store! My teacher's name is Mr. Grendellz-Walterswaters. His NPR tote bag is almost 30 years old. He is a weirdo but he knows how to play the old mouth radio (harmonica).

[Speaker 2] Haha that old bag must be his prized possession. I should blow the rust from my skills but i don't get time as a marine.

[Speaker 1] It might even just be apart of him at this point. Once I get some skills from my lessons you should come over and we can play together. We can start a 2 person harmonica band that I am sure everyone will love and not find annoying!

[Speaker 2] That's a great idea or we could play for my marine brother and play at my favorite place but you might have to sing as well.

[Speaker 1] I have no problem taking the mic! I am an egomaniac! You should take some singing lessons from Mr Grendellz-walterswaters! He teaches everything!

[Speaker 2] haha i'm starting to love that guy. sure take the mic, i don't want everyone to run away. i can sing in single scale LOL.

[Speaker 1] I need one of those harmonica neck holder things... Do you have any extras?

[Speaker 2] No but i still have my old Suzuki harmonica. Which one do you have?

[Speaker 1] I am not sure actually.... I am renting it from the music store. We should go shopping later this week for our new band.

[Speaker 2] We will find you one but i have to get a leave from my corp. I thinking to practice guitar again.

I am a male. I am healthy.

I used to skateboard. I loved doing it.

I love Miami.

I can play the guitar.

I play harmonica. I am renting my harmonica. I am in a band.

I live in Miami.  I like to play the harmonica on the beach sometimes. I have an old Suzuki harmonica.

I can sing in scale.

I work at a corp. I used to play guitar.

[Speaker 1] What does your surfboard look like.

[Speaker 2] I have Def Leppard printed on it, it looks totally cool.

[Speaker 1] Yeah sounds really cool maybe you could give me some lessons and teach me a bit my first try didn't go well at all.

[Speaker 2] I would love to give you a few lessons, the first try is always hard so don't let that put you off but once you get it, it feels great.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I would love to learn and then teach my son so we can do it together.

[Speaker 2] Yeah would be a great bonding experience for the both of you.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I think it would I love spending time with him and doing stuff together. Do you have any kids?

[Speaker 2] No not yet I have thought about it I would love a son to do thing with like yourself but I just have found the right person in my life yet to start a family with.

[Speaker 1] Yeah it is great having a son to share your life with. I'm sure you will find that person someday soon, having my boy changed my life but all for the better.

[Speaker 2] Yeah hopefully I can find that right person and settle down and have some kids. I have been on a few dates lately but not found the right person yet.

[Speaker 1] Maybe in time keep dating i'm sure it is only matter of time before you find someone you have that spark and connection with.

[Speaker 2] I hope so I don't want to just settle for anyone I want someone who makes me feel alive.


I have 2 brothers older than me.

My dad was a farmer back in the day.

I recently moved to a new city.

I drove 1000 miles to see my favorite band play.

I am a hunter.

I like to go hunting.

My favorite animal to hunt is deer.

Deer are over populated and that concerns me.

I am generally concerned about wildlife.

I'm am not a vegetarian.

My dad was a farmer. I like to eat meat grown on a farm.

I've never eaten deer meat. I will consider eating deer meat. I moved to a city where there are few deer.

I have 2 older brothers.

I have no brothers or sisters.

[Speaker 1] Hey there! How are you?

[Speaker 2] Great, looking forward to deer hunting season! You?

[Speaker 1] Im a vegetarian.. So.. Gosh.. I dont know.. (just kidding).

[Speaker 2] Well it's better to hunt them than to see them run over.

[Speaker 1] Yes! I think so! My dad was a farmer back in the day, I love meat.

[Speaker 2] Deer meat is very tasty and you prevent deadly accidents too.

[Speaker 1] I havent actually had deer meat. What is it comparable to?

[Speaker 2] Tastes gamey, potent but you should try some next time.

[Speaker 1] I think I will! I just moved to a new city, I rarely see a deer anymore.

[Speaker 2] There are too many of them so more restaurants should serve it.

[Speaker 1] Imagine: would you like a side of deer with your mashed potatoes sir?

[Speaker 2] Yes!! The rest of the wildlife will thank you.

[Speaker 1] Do you have any siblings? I have 2 older brothers.

[Speaker 2] No, the woods are my family.

I'm am not a vegetarian.

I have 2 older brothers.

I have no brothers or sisters.

[Speaker 1] Would you like to come over to my house and try some deer meat?

[Speaker 2] Sure but I know how to hunt... can't say I know how cook. Wouldn't want to give you a bad first experience, but I'll try my best to make it tasty!

[Speaker 1] That is fine. I found a recipe online from gordon ramsay! Maybe we can figure it out together. I am sure it wont be the same way you have had it before. Who usually makes it for you?

[Speaker 2] My hunting buddies wife is a hell of a cook, pretty sure she could make dirt taste good! Speaking of good food, must have been nice having your father be a farmer. Fresh fruits and vegetables everyday sounds great.

[Speaker 1] Sure was but it was hard work too. I cant remember a meal on the farm that I didnt earn! It is crazy how different life is now. Being in the city is way different. My older brothers make fun of me now calling me a city slicker!

[Speaker 2] I can't imagine living in a city, no nature or anything. Don't you ever miss the good-ole farm life or are you happy to be a "city slicker"?

[Speaker 1] I miss the farm life for sure. I dont even get to really see deer here. I just happened to stumble upon a specialty meat shop. It must be nice for you to be able to just go out into nature whenever the mood strikes. Dont you have that hunting trip coming up? What was it your were going to hunt?

[Speaker 2] Well, here in Oregon there's a lot to chose from to say the least. My usual is just Deer but every once in a blue moon I manage to get an Elk. My wife isn't super into hunting, but we do have a nice Elk head hanging in the living room!

[Speaker 1] She must be very understanding! I have never gotten out that way but I imagine hunting can be fun. Being from the country I was the odd man out never having gone deer hunting but I have thought about trying it for quite some time. What do you use to hunt with? I like the idea of a compound bow but a nice rifle gives you more range.

[Speaker 2] Rifle all day! Don't know much about using a bow but it does look interesting. I'll use a shotgun as well. Do you have a gun with you in the city to keep you safe from robbers and break-ins?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, i have a little 9 mm walther PPS M2. It is small enough to conceal but enough to get someone moving away from you! Do you have to use a certain slug for the elk? Like does a deer slug work for that or do you use the shotgun for other game?

[Speaker 2] Mostly use the shotgun for birds, maybe a rabbit or two. How are your brothers doing? Do they approve of your move to the city?

I'm am not a vegetarian.

I have 2 older brothers.

I live in a house. I grew up on a farm. I miss living in the countryside.

I have never been to Oregon. I have never hunted. I want to try bow hunting. I own a 9mm handgun.

I like to go deer hunting and will go hunting soon. I have eaten deer meat before and liked it. I hunt deer and elk. I have a stuffed elk head. I use rifles and shotguns to hunt. I hunt birds and rabbits using a shotgun.

I have no brothers or sisters.

I am not a great cook.

I do not live in a city.I live in Oregon.

[Speaker 1] I found an archery range in the city where I can practice, so I went ahead and bought a compound bow.

[Speaker 2] That's very cool. How expensive was the bow?

[Speaker 1] About $400, but still not a bad investment if I catch the bow hunting bug.

[Speaker 2] I've never bow-hunted, but it sounds really hard. You need to come out to Oregon when you do catch the bug. We have tons of deer out here.

[Speaker 1] Oh cool. I spent my childhood on a farm and can think of combining hunting with a farmstay in Oregon.

[Speaker 2] There's nothing more satisfying than a day of hunting. You work up a big appetite and then you cook the venison. It's absolutely delicious and a great way to spend a day.

[Speaker 1] I can see the satisfaction of hunting, but have to confess my preference for cattle fed in a less wild place!

[Speaker 2] It's a much easier way to eat, I'll grant you that. Few things beat a medium rare steak. Of course, you don't get the satisfaction of being able to both eat and stuff the head of a cow. LOL.

[Speaker 1] I haven't exactly tried eating deer head, but I have tried most other deer body parts -- can recommend the hindquarters.

[Speaker 2] I've never eaten the head either. I only stuff the head. I don't think I could actually eat a deer that was staring up at me from the table. LOL.

[Speaker 1] I have mixed thoughts about shouldering such a big shotgun that I think would be needed, even though a pistol is manageable for me!

[Speaker 2] I totally understand that. But if you go out and shoot a bit before hunting, you'd get a real hang of the shotgun. But I'd love to learn to use the bow. I think you'd be in great shape using that instead of the shotgun!

I'm am not a vegetarian.

I have 2 older brothers.

I practice archery. I have a compound bow.

I like beef. I have tried eating deer body parts.

I can shoot a pistol.

I have no brothers or sisters.

I am not a great cook.

I love medium rare steak.

I've stuffed a deer head before. I have experience with a shotgun.

[Speaker 1] Have you cooked your favorite steak lately?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I had it on the weekend. I ate it while watching Tiger King. Have you seen it?

[Speaker 1] I have not.  What's it about?

[Speaker 2] It is about a man who runs a zoo of tigers. It is quite interesting really.

[Speaker 1] oh I think I've heard about that one.  I'll have to give it a watch.  Have you gone hunting lately

[Speaker 2] I am planning to go hunting tomorrow. Thinking of camping out in the forest too.

[Speaker 1] that would be nice! What type of animal do you plan on hunting?

[Speaker 2] I do like camping. Feels like I am one with nature. I think I will hunt an elk. Do you like camping?

[Speaker 1] I do, especially when I can bring my bow and hunt.  Maybe we can go hunting together.

[Speaker 2] Yes, that would be a good idea. Share and combine our knowledge of hunting and farming. Could make a trip out of it. Where would we go?

[Speaker 1] I'd like to come visit you in oregon.  I've never been there and it would be a fun trip.

[Speaker 2] Ye, it is a good place. Very relaxed and interesting. Are there any other states you want to visit?

I'm am not a vegetarian.

I have 2 older brothers.

I can shoot a pistol. I like hunting with a bow and arrow.

I have no brothers or sisters.

I am not a great cook.

I love medium rare steak.

I like cooking steak. I like watching Tiger King. I like to hunt and camp.

[Speaker 1] How are the elk in the area doing?

[Speaker 2] Nothing much is out, especially elk.  The heat here is just unreal.

[Speaker 1] Is it really that hot out there? Oh man. Does that mean you won't be hunting too much right now?

[Speaker 2] It is really hot.  Going out hunting would not be good.  I hope to go out in the fall.  How about you, how's the bow hunting there?

[Speaker 1] Oh I'm getting better and better at it. Hit a target from a good 300 feet out. Archery is difficult to do but with practice it becomes like second nature.

[Speaker 2] That's amazing!  Do you mostly go for small game, like rabbits and birds?

[Speaker 1] I try to yeah. I hunt rabbits a good bit and found some turkeys in my area as well. I still gotta try deer one day. I heard they make a good chili but I'm not sure how true that is.

[Speaker 2] Oh, yeah, venison is great, makes great stew.  I mostly go for elk and deer as you know, but sometimes smaller game seems like more of a challenge.  What was your best hunt?

[Speaker 1] My best hunt was actually a turkey. It wasn't that the hunt was hard. It was the distance I hit it for. The one I told you about earlier from 300 feet? Yeah that's the one. It was a really good hunt. Second best would be hunting a boar actually. Crazy right?

[Speaker 2] Crazy, yeah.  I heard that boar can be very wily and hard to take down, true?

I like working on my father's blue pickup truck.

I like making friends over breakfast.

I have a daughter.

I live on the 32nd floor of an apartment building. I do not have an elevator.

I work as a plumber. I want to buy a house.

I am a Mexican.

I like meeting people. I have many friends.

I have a daughter. I like poached eggs.

I would rather live on the street than in an apartment.

[Speaker 1] How do you do? Im working on my dads old blue pickup.

[Speaker 2] That's good, will you like a mexican to give you a hand?

[Speaker 1] Sure! We might finish in time to catch the sunset and a cervesa!

[Speaker 2] I like meeting people a lot. I have so many friends.

[Speaker 1] I meet most of my friends over breakfast in restaurants. Do you like poached eggs?

[Speaker 2] Of course yes I do one of my daughter like making it.

[Speaker 1] Yesterday my daughter made it all the way to the 32nd floor and dropped the eggs!

[Speaker 2] I do not get that but I know I have a silly daughter too.

[Speaker 1] I live up on the 32nd floor, in my apartment building and we have no elevator.

[Speaker 2] That's some big exercise daily. I will rather live on the street..

[Speaker 1] Me too. Hopefully I get a raise as a plumber and we can move to a house.

[Speaker 2] Okay, what is your area of specialization?.

I like making friends over breakfast.

I have a daughter.

I am a Mexican.

I have a daughter. I like poached eggs.

[Speaker 1] Do you have any traditional Mexican dishes that you enjoy making?

[Speaker 2] My specialty is arroz con pollo! I will make it for you next time we get together.

[Speaker 1] I have never heard of that. What is it make out of?

[Speaker 2] It has yellow rice, chicken thighs, and spices. I add sour cream on top. YUM!

[Speaker 1] Hey, that sounds delicious. It sounds more like traditional Mexican food.

[Speaker 2] I make a mean taco too. I am getting hungry!

[Speaker 1] same here I would not mind a breakfast burrito. But I doubt those are Mexican food.

[Speaker 2] They are! Good call. I think I will make one now.

[Speaker 1] I would like a good traditional Mexican dish. In America they consider Taco Bell Mexican food.

[Speaker 2] It is a disgrace. That being said, I love a chalupa!

[Speaker 1] I consider Taco Bell Dood Food, lol

[Speaker 2] Fair enough! I think many share that opinion.

I like making friends over breakfast.

I have a daughter.

I do not know what arroz con pollo is. I want to try arroz con pollo.

I like breakfast burritos. I like Mexican food. I live in America. I do not like Taco Bell.

I am a Mexican.

I have a daughter. I like poached eggs.

I can cook mexican. I am good at cooking arroz con pollo. my dish of arroz con pollo contains yellow rice, chicken thighs,  spices and sour cream on top. I also make tacos. I like breakfast burritos. I think Taco Bell is a disgrace. I like Chalupas.

[Speaker 1] I tried making Arroz con pollo and it was ok but I need your help perfecting my recipe!

[Speaker 2] I'll do my best.  Seasoning is very important for arroz con pollo.  What did you use to season your dish?

[Speaker 1] Umm... salt and pepper. I know, I need help!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, you definitely want to spice it up a bit.  Cumin would add some good flavor and some onion and garlic powder as well.  I prefer fresh onion for this dish, but you can substitute the powder in a pinch.  Did you add any fresh herbs?.

[Speaker 1] Ok thank you. I'll be sure to spice things up. I just threw some lettuce in there. I don't have any herbs. What do you recommend?

[Speaker 2] Cilantro is a good one.  Just chop it up and scatter it on top of the dish after cooking.

[Speaker 1] That's simple enough. Hey, how about you come over one of these nights and coach me? I'm kind of a mess so I think I need even more help.

[Speaker 2] Sure, we could whip up some of those breakfast burritos at the same time.  Are there any other Mexican dishes you'd like to try while I'm over there?

[Speaker 1] Sweet! I'm thinking you're already a master craftsman in the world of breakfast burritos. Any ideas for making one as tasty as possible?

[Speaker 2] It never hurts to add some salsa to those burritos.  Mushrooms are tasty too, but really when it comes to something like that I think you can really just get creative and use all the ingredients you like/

[Speaker 1] Sounds good to me! I think I'll get extra crazy when I go grocery shopping and we can decide what to use from there.

[Speaker 2] That's a good plan.  What time should I plan on visiting?

I like making friends over breakfast.

I have a daughter.

I don't have much cooking experience. I don't often use herbs when cooking. I would like some coaching with my cooking.

I am a Mexican.

I have a daughter. I like poached eggs.

I like salsa and mushrooms in breakfast burritos.

I know what spices to use to get the most flavor out of food. I like cilantro.

I'm familiar with cooking Mexican dishes. I would be happy to instruct friends on how to cook.

[Speaker 1] I tried out the recipe you showed me the other day with my Dad. He told me it was great and couldn't believe I cooked it!

[Speaker 2] Im so glad your Dad enjoyed the recipe! Which one did you decide to prepare?

[Speaker 1] I ended up making those burritos with the mushrooms and the salsa and all that. It was so fresh and so good!

[Speaker 2] Thats so exciting. I hope you remembered to add cilantro and hot sauce! Did your son have any?

[Speaker 1] Yes, he did! He loved it too. You'll have to show me another recipe the next time you're over. My family can't get enough!

[Speaker 2] I make a simple black bean and corn salsa that goes perfect on the side of everything I cook but I'll get to that later. How is the work on the truck coming along?

[Speaker 1] It's coming along, slowly but surely. She should be ready to go pretty soon. I might be able to show you the finished product the next time you're over!

[Speaker 2] That would be wonderful! I can't wait until we can take her out for a drive.

[Speaker 1] Me too! And that will give me a chance to show you around the town a bit more lol

[Speaker 2] What are your favorite sights and places around town? Maybe we can go on a tour of taco stands with the kids!

[Speaker 1] You know, there are some great taco stands around. I'll have to show you! There's also a beautiful park downtown where the kids could run around and play. I'd love to show you!

[Speaker 2] That all sounds like a perfect day. I know we're in good hands with you as our tour guide for the excursion and heaven knows it couldn't hurt to let the young ones run around and get some energy out.

I like making friends over breakfast.

I have a daughter. I have a son.

I live in a town. I enjoy parks.

I am a Mexican.

I have a daughter. I like poached eggs.

I enjoy car rides.

[Speaker 1] My children are excited to try a new recipe next time you give us one!

[Speaker 2] Okay. I can send you one by email today if you like. Do you want my famous recipe for arroz con pollo?

[Speaker 1] Yes please that would be awesome! Is it spicy? They really like spicy meals.

[Speaker 2] It is supremely spicy, because it has both serrano peppers and habanero peppers! Your children are going to be blown away by how spicy and flavorful it is. Do you have about ninety minutes to be able to prepare the dish? Unfortunately it is not the quickest dish to make, but the time you invest will be well-appreciated, I am sure of it.

[Speaker 1] Sounds really good. I am sure my kids would love this. Is it easy to source the ingredients locally?

[Speaker 2] Oh definitely. You should be able to get all the ingredients at your local supermarket. Of course, if you have access to a local farmers market, the ingredients you buy there will be even fresher than those you can get at the grocery store.

[Speaker 1] We have a lovely farmer's market here located in a nearby village. I'm sure they'll love the field trip. Your recipes are really good. Have you ever thought of opening a restaurant?

[Speaker 2] I have thought about it, but upon a lot of wavering, I have decided against it. If you weren't aware of this, it is a fact that the majority of restaurants will fail and go out of business within five years. I am interested in opening my own business, though. My thoughts are that I should start a home and office maid cleaning service.  What do you think about that idea?

[Speaker 1] That's not good, I wasn't aware of the stats. It's a shame because I think your meal would really be in high demand but I can understand. Cleaning seems like it's quite involving. Are you ok with that?

[Speaker 2] It is actually not that difficult. I have worked for a maid service before, so I know what's involved in it. And once you do a good job for someone, you typically have made a customer for life

I would like to travel abroad. I love traveling.

[Speaker 1] Hi, I'm an animal lover! You?

[Speaker 2] Well I love to hike so I enjoy the random animals I sometimes see..

[Speaker 1] I love outdoors, too. That's why I quit being a veterinarian, so I can travel more.

[Speaker 2] Wow cool! Guess what? I have a secret.

[Speaker 1] What? Do, tell! I'll tell you mine, too.

[Speaker 2] Im actually in love with my neighbor john. Dont tell!.

[Speaker 1] Ohhh, okay! I am a singer now...and a blogger.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, if I were a singer I would sing about equality!

[Speaker 1] If I were to be political, I'd sing for protecting animals. I keep vegan diet, even!

[Speaker 2] That's great! Id vote for you, if I voted, but I don't..

[Speaker 1] Haha, thanks! Another thing I love is traveling abroad.

[Speaker 2] Wow, I would love traveling abroad so I could hike everywhere..

[Speaker 2] How fun! I love traveling, it humbles me and keeps me kind.

I am a singer and a blogger.

I love hiking. I like animals.

I care about equality. I do not vote.

[Speaker 1] I was walking down the road and came across a poor, shivering kitten in a box. Naturally, I picked him up and took him home! He's only about 5 weeks old and I'm trying to get him to eat something. I think I might have to take him to the vet because he keeps making this wheezing sound.

[Speaker 2] That sound so sad but sweet of you of taking in the poor little kitty

[Speaker 1] Yes, there is no way I could have left him, I am happy to give him a home. Have you ever rescued an animal?

[Speaker 2] I never have.  It would break my heart if I seen one needing rescuing.

[Speaker 1] Oh it does! So have you talked to John recently?

[Speaker 2] oh, I forgot I told you about him last time we spoke. I try not to tell others about him. No, I haven't talked to him :(

[Speaker 1] That's too bad, do you plan to tell him how you feel?

[Speaker 2] I don't know. I need something from him that he feels the same about me.

[Speaker 1] Hmm..you may only find out by talking to him. It might be a bigger risk for you not to say anything at all because he may feel the same.

[Speaker 2] yea, but it is scary because he may not feel the same as I do and then nothing, not even hope

[Speaker 1] Well I am sure you will figure it out. Maybe you should ask him to go for a hike with you.

[Speaker 2] I was thinking about that, mentioning I am going on a hike and would he like to join me

I am a singer and a blogger.

I recently rescued a kitten.

I love hiking. I like animals.

I care about equality. I do not vote.

[Speaker 1] My kitten is growing up so fast, the other day she managed to jump up onto a the sofa for the first time.

[Speaker 2] Wow! She's getting so big already! Have you trained her to do any tricks yet?

[Speaker 1] Not really to be honest. I mostly just enjoy playing with her because she's so darn cute! Have you ever had a cat?

[Speaker 2] I did have a cat when I was younger.  Her name was Gracie and she would actually fetch paintbrushes if you threw it across the room for her!

[Speaker 1] Oh my gosh that's so cute! I just love animals. I always have since I was a little kid. I used to hold mock protests about animal rights and abuse with my friends.

[Speaker 2] That is AWESOME! I love to hear about kids getting involved in their passions early in life.  Have you been a vegan since you were a kid as well?

[Speaker 1] My parents used to make me eat meat and stuff when I was really little but I put on a presentation about animal rights and how it was wrong to kill them for food and they accepted that I was serious and let me live my lifestyle. I'd say I was about 11 when that happened. Have you ever gone vegan?

[Speaker 2] I was a vegetarian when I was younger but never thought about fully going vegan. That was a while ago, it seems like within the last 5-10 years there have been so many new products on the market that would make going vegan a lot easier.

[Speaker 1] There is a ton of stuff out there to help people whether they are seasoned or new to the life. I definitely recommend taking a look at all the items on the market. So how's John?

I am a singer and a blogger.

I recently rescued a kitten.

I have a sofa.

I am passionate about animal rights. I think killing animals for food is wrong.

I love hiking. I like animals.

I care about equality. I do not vote.

I had a cat named Gracie when I was younger.

I used to be a vegetarian, but I am not anymore.

[Speaker 1] Have you thought of inviting John to go hiking with you?

[Speaker 2] I have but I'm really nervous.  I'm scared to get rejected!

[Speaker 1] Let's workshop this. Have you ever seen him with another woman?

[Speaker 2] There was a woman that would come over all the time a while ago but I haven't seen her in a year or so.

[Speaker 1] Okay, that's a good sign for you and it probably means he's not gay. What does he do for work?

[Speaker 2] He's a doctor.  I believe he's a pediatrician.

[Speaker 1] That probably means he's a nice guy. Is he very handsome?

[Speaker 2] He's the most handsome guy I've ever seen in my entire life.

[Speaker 1] To be honest, it's hard to believe that handsome doctor doesn't have women flinging themselves at him.

[Speaker 2] I know.  I've heard he's pretty promiscuous.  Maybe he just doesn't bring any girls home with him.

[Speaker 1] Maybe he keeps a secret apartment for that type of stuff! This is all very exciting for me. My life is so, so dull!

[Speaker 2] maybe I'll find out! What makes you say that?

I am a singer and a blogger.

I recently rescued a kitten.

I have a sofa.

I don't believe John is not seeing other women.

My life is dull.

I love hiking. I like animals.

I care about equality. I do not vote.

I'm scared of rejection. I think there is another woman. I believe John is a pediatrician. I think John is really handsome.

[Speaker 1] So how's everything going with you and John?

[Speaker 2] I invited him over for dinner and he accepted!  I'm so excited, I hope it goes well.

[Speaker 1] That's good. Are you inviting anyone else and what are you guys planning to eat?

[Speaker 2] I'm thinking about making some fancy tacos or something.  I'm not sure if he's vegetarian or not so I'm going to have a little bit of everything prepared.  What do you think should I get some wine or anything?

[Speaker 1] Tacos is an interesting choice and you could mix it up with different ingredients. Is he a big wine drinker? If not then you should still get some wine if that's what you're into.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that's probably a good idea.  I hope it goes well, I'm so nervous.  How is the kitten doing that you rescued?

[Speaker 1] Everything will work out fine don't be nervous. The kitten is doing great I just bought him some toys, treats and food.

[Speaker 2] That's great!  Are you thinking of completely adopting the kitty or are you just going to foster it and then find a forever home?

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure yet he's so sweet. I'll see how it goes for the next few weeks and then I'll make a decision on what to do.

[Speaker 2] That's so great, it's amazing what you do, I'm so jealous I'm sure that's so rewarding.  I think I may try to go back being vegetarian again, it does make sense the more thought I give it about it being wrong to eat animals.

[Speaker 1] Yes thank you. That's a great decision and something I was proud of doing when switching fully to vegan. I just can't fathom harming these sweet creatures.

[Speaker 2] I know.  I've definitely given it thought and I may try it again.  I'm so glad you helped me see that.  I think it's also just a great way to live life and get nutrients too.

I work in a pizza shop.
I am a huge fan of Dallas Cowboy.
I go to college.
I live with my grandparents.

[Speaker 1] It was a windy day today and I flew my kite. What about you?

[Speaker 2] I just got home from work, I smell like pepperoni. I work in pizza shop.

[Speaker 1] Oh cool! I am a zookeeper at the zoo..

[Speaker 2] Wow now that sounds much funner than my job. Wanna trade?

[Speaker 1] Sure as long as my bearded dragon and pet raccoon can hang out there!

[Speaker 2] Not sure if that would be allowed haha. Do you like football????

[Speaker 1] Yes but I like baseball more.

[Speaker 2] I am a huge fan of the dallas cowboys!!!

[Speaker 1] I'm so sorry. No one really voted to pick america's team, you know?? Haha.

[Speaker 2] Haha yeah I guess. Are you in school? College is killing me.

[Speaker 1] No, I'm long gone from there.

[Speaker 2] Lucky! Im living with my grandparents, in college, and trying to pay bills.

[Speaker 1] The bills never end, I'm afraid!

[Speaker 2] Oh my gosh I know! When will it stop!? Probably not even after death lol.

I have a kite.

I am a zookeeper.

I prefer baseball to football.

I no longer go to school.

[Speaker 1] My work at the zoo just got a new animal!

[Speaker 2] So cool! What kind? Does it have a name?

[Speaker 1] I know!!  The Giraffe's name is Charlie.

[Speaker 2] I love giraffes. They are so beautiful to watch. They seem so chill and mellow.

[Speaker 1] He absolutely is.  I am excited to get to work with him.  I've never really worked with giraffes before.  How's school going?

[Speaker 2] They love to eat lettuce. Bring him lettuce and you will be fast friends. School is going great! I think I will make a great accountant when I am done.

[Speaker 1] I love salads so he is in good company.  We can share my lunch!  Accounting seems like a good plan.  I struggle doing my taxes so I could use your help!

[Speaker 2] Once I have my CPA, I sure will! My grandparents are most excited about the help with their taxes too :)

[Speaker 1] I will definitely take you up on that!  That's great you will be able to help your grandparents.  My grandparents have all passed away.  I miss them.

[Speaker 2] I am so grateful to be able to live with them and spend so much quality time with them. How old were you when yours passed?

[Speaker 1] By the time I was 17, they had all passed.  Luckily I was able to spend a lot of time with them during my childhood.  We used to watch Yankee games together, Do they also like the Cowboys?

[Speaker 2] They are huge Cowboys fans. They got me into the team!

I have a kite.

I am a zookeeper. I recently started working with a giraffe named Charlie. I have not worked with giraffes before.

I no longer go to school.

I enjoy eating salads. I am not good at doing taxes.

My grandparents are all deceased. I used to watch baseball with my grandparents. I prefer baseball to football.

I work in a pizza shop.

I am a huge fan of Dallas Cowboy.

I go to college. I am studying to be an accountant.

I live with my grandparents.

I like giraffes.

[Speaker 1] I made a video of my pet racoon for you. I'll send you a link.

[Speaker 2] I'd like to see that.  How old is Charlie?

[Speaker 1] Charlie's doing great! I'll let you feed him if you ever make it down my way!

[Speaker 2] I think that would be very interesting.  What do giraffes eat anyway?

[Speaker 1] Acacia leaves, and lots of them too. A carrot might be a bit easier for a beginner to feed a giraffe. Otherwise, you might get a giraffe tongue on your hand!

[Speaker 2] I think that would be OK.  I would prefer not to have an encounter with  the giraffe's teeth though.  Is it safe to fee them?

[Speaker 1] Oh don't worry, Charlie's been trained. He wouldn't bite your fingers. His tongue is pretty long and that's what he uses to grab his food up.

[Speaker 2] OK then sounds safe enough.  How long have you been working with this particular animal?

[Speaker 1] About four months. I often give Charlie some of my salads haha.

[Speaker 2] I bet he likes that quite a lot.  Does the zoo have any friends for Charlie or is he the only giraffe they keep?

[Speaker 1] Just Charlie. Sadly, we can't take on any more giraffes unless we find one to rescue. That's rare though.

[Speaker 2] I would imagine that's true.  I can't imagine how complicated it must be to transport one even after it is recued.

I have a kite.

I no longer go to school.

I share my salads with the giraffe.

I work in a pizza shop.

I am a huge fan of Dallas Cowboy.

I live with my grandparents.

I like giraffes.

[Speaker 1] You wouldn't believe what Charlie the giraffe just did!

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah? What is he up to this time!?

[Speaker 1] He started running laps around his habitat! I wish I had that much energy!!

[Speaker 2] Haha, what are you feeding him? There must be something good in that giraffe food.

[Speaker 1] He just eat's acacia leaves and I am pretty sure they are poisonous to humans! Maybe it's something in the water!

[Speaker 2] Yeah it might be. How many other animals do you take care of there?

[Speaker 1] We have lots of animals! I only work with the safari animals though! What's your favorite animal?

[Speaker 2] I have always loved birds, especially birds of prey. Probably hawks or eagles.

[Speaker 1] That's super cool! We have both of those at the zoo but I don't work with them directly!

[Speaker 2] Besides giraffes, what is your favorite animal?

[Speaker 1] I would say a bearded dragon would be my favorite for sure!

[Speaker 2] Those aren't native in the US are they? Aren't they from Central America or something?

I have a kite.

I have a bearded dragon. I have a pet raccoon. Bearded dragons are my favorite animals.

I no longer go to school.

I share my salads with the giraffe. I take care of all of the safari animals. I don't work directly with birds. I work at the zoo.

I am not a high energy person.

I work in a pizza shop.

I am a huge fan of Dallas Cowboy.

I live with my grandparents.

I like giraffes. Hawks or eagles are my favorite animals, but I like all birds.

I don't know a lot about bearded dragons.

[Speaker 1] Charlie has been up to his usual antics; he literally picked up a child that was feeding him! The kid was fine but the parents were freaked out!

[Speaker 2] I assume Charlie is an animal at the Zoo you work at.  What kind of animal is he?

[Speaker 1] Charlie is the new giraffe we got at the zoo.  I'm working with him.  I thought I told you that before.

[Speaker 2] You may have.    I was just a little take back by the fact that a child was picked up by an animal. LOL.  what is your favorite animal to work with there.

[Speaker 1] Well the bearded dragons are my absolute favorite.  But working with all the animals is rewarding.  Right now I most like the animals that don't create potential lawsuits for harming guests to the zoo.

[Speaker 2] Isn't that the truth! LOL.    I love animals...especially birds.   Maybe you can get Charlie to help you with your taxes! LOL

[Speaker 1] Yes, at this point I'd take help from anyone or anything with my taxes.  How do you file your taxes?  Or have you not had to file a return yet?

[Speaker 2] I usually go to H&R Block to get help from them.   I have to itemize so it makes me so nervous.   I have not filed yet but they do have all of my paperwork and are working on it for me.   You should try to use them also.   I have never had any issues going through them to file.

[Speaker 1] Thanks for the recommendation.  I might try that.  I dread every tax season so it would be nice to have someone whom I trust to take the burden from me.

[Speaker 2] I hear you.   Did you watch the baseball game with the Braves the other night?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I did.  The Braves have been disappointing so far this year but I think they're starting to get going.

[Speaker 2] I agree.   Though whether they do go or not I am always a die hard Braves fan!  Who is your favorite team?

I'm 26 years old and I am a workaholic.
I frequently think about going to work.

My favorite band is black sabbath.

I go to college.

I'm allergic to dairy. I like seafood.

I have outstanding student loans.
I work too much to do anything fun.
I like meat. I like sushi.

[Speaker 1] Hi. I'm a college student, what do you do for a living..

[Speaker 2] I work in it. It takes up all my time. Even when I'm at home, I'm only thinking about work.

[Speaker 1] Okay. I'm going to take summer courses so I can graduate early..

[Speaker 2] I should have done that. I could have avoided some of the student loans I am paying.

[Speaker 1] Student loan is the worst. My hobby is martial arts, what your hobby.

[Speaker 2] I'm too busy with work for hobbies, but I like listening to black sabbath.

[Speaker 1] Okay. I like to teach kids jiu-jitsu.

[Speaker 2] How long have you been learning jiu-jitsu?

[Speaker 1] For 5 years now. I'm allergic to dairy product. Are you allergic to anything..

[Speaker 2] No, I can eat anything. My favorite food is meat. What is yours?

[Speaker 1] Favorite food are seafood..

[Speaker 2] I like seafood too, especially sushi. I don't go to restaurants though since I am in debt.

I go to college.

I'm allergic to dairy. I like seafood.

[Speaker 1] How's work going so far this week?

[Speaker 2] Oh you know, the same as usual, good but wow, too many hours! I managed to go out one night for sushi, but it was brief and alone

[Speaker 1] Well, at least you went out. That's a good start. What kind of sushi did you have?

[Speaker 2] A california roll, I like to get that once in a while. Maybe if I get a day off from work we can go out and get some sushi together

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a plan! My favorite sushi is salmon or tuna. I'm not too adventurous when it comes to sushi. A California roll is a good one. I like those, too.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I don't always eat raw sushi, i like the cooked options as well, like smoked salmon with avocado!

[Speaker 1] Yum! I do like the raw salmon and tuna, though. When it's good, it just melts in your mouth. Gosh, now I'm hungry for sushi!

[Speaker 2] Haha, yes it does! Good to hear you enjoy the fine raw options as well. I can't wait for us to get some time together!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that sounds wonderful. I know you work a lot of hours, but is it stressful work, or just long hours?

[Speaker 2] It's not too stressful no, it's just a ton of hours but I agree to do it because I enjoy saving moneyt

[Speaker 1] Yep, money is good to have. Ha! Being a poor college student doesn't leave me many opportunities to save money.

[Speaker 2] I hear that, I'm still debating whether or not i want to pay back the student loans

I am a poor college student. I'm taking summer courses. I teach jiu-jitsu to kids.

I have outstanding student loans.

[Speaker 1] Lenders will typically work with you on repayment plans for student loans. It's better to make small payments than no payments at all.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense. The lenders want to know that I'm trying to settle my debt. I need to find a better work-life balance though.

[Speaker 1] I completely understand that! Don't let the debt overwhelm you, once you get control of it, I hope that you feel less pressure to always be working!

[Speaker 2] I want to pay the debt, but I don't want to spend all my time working for the "man." Especially while I'm young. If I won the lottery, I would just pay off the debt. I wouldn't stop working. I don't hate working, just working all the time.

[Speaker 1] Life is all about balance, that's for sure! Have you ever tried to make your own sushi?

[Speaker 2] I tried once, but it was awful! It just fell apart. I leave it to the pros.

[Speaker 1] Haha yes it does take a little practice and a lot of time. Its quite satisfying to do it yourself but it is an art, that's for sure.

[Speaker 2] Maybe I should take a class or ten. That might do the trick. I need someone to guide me on making the rice just right, so it doesn't fall apart.

[Speaker 1] LOL after my first go at it I'd agree that ten classes would do the trick! The rice is what seemed the trickiest.  And not overloading the roll, which was my struggle.

[Speaker 2] Gotcha. It's not as simple as making a sandwich. Can't just load it up with everything and hope for the best.

[Speaker 1] Exactly! One time I had to just order in after a failed attempt, oh well! Just thought it'd be a more affordable option.

[Speaker 2] I worry about bacteria on the fish. I prefer the cooked stuff because it seems safer. I have tried the raw stuff, but I didn't feel so good after.

I'm allergic to dairy. I like seafood. My favorite is salmon or tuna. I enjoy raw sushi. I didn't have very good luck making sushi.

I have outstanding student loans.

I work too much to do anything fun. My job is not stressful. I need a better work-life balance.

I like meat. I like sushi. I like california rolls. I prefer cooked sushi to raw. Maybe I should take a class about making sushi.

I want to pay my debt. I am young.

[Speaker 1] Since meat is your favorite food, what type is your favorite?

[Speaker 2] I think I prefer chicken to anything as it is so versatile. What about you?

[Speaker 1] I like chicken but i love lamb and yes i'm in love with lamb chops. I can eat it every day i guess. I don't understand bacon though.

[Speaker 2] I like bacon because it is salty. Great breakfast meat I think. What are your thoughts on sausages?

[Speaker 1] I don't know, there is something about bacon i don't like might be because of their feed. I like sausages but the ones made with chicken. You should try those. they have that salty taste you like.

[Speaker 2] Strangely enough I am not a fan of chicken sausage. Prefer pork sausage. Maybe you just aren't a fan of pork overall.

[Speaker 1] LOl might be but I'm more of a fish person. did you get around raw fish ?

[Speaker 2] No still not a fan of raw fish but have got plans to go fishing with my friend on the weekend. It will be the first time and I am kind of looking forward to it. Have you been fishing before?

[Speaker 1] That is great. I hope you get to eat sushi. No, i guess i have to do fishing at some point because of the sushi and tuna i used to eat. Have you tried tuna rolls ?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I tried tuna rolls one. I like sushi but still a little reluctant. Maybe after fishing and a sushi making lesson I will be better. Can you make sushi?

[Speaker 1] I'm sure once you find the right sauce with it you will never stop. It's a funny story when i tried to make sushi it was disaster.

[Speaker 2] What type of sushi did you make? At least it was a memorable experience.

I love lamb and lamb chops. I don't like bacon. I like chicken sausage more than regular sausage.

I have outstanding student loans.

I want to pay my debt. I am young.

I worry about bacteria on raw fish. I prefer cooked fish. I have not fished before.

I prefer chicken. I like bacon, it is a great breakfast meat. I do not like chicken sausage. I prefer pork sausage.

[Speaker 1] How is work going for you? Are you still stressed about your student loans?

[Speaker 2] Work is fine.  I don't mind doing it.  Plus, getting paid is always good.  And yes, my student loans still trouble me.  I imagine they will until I'm free of them.

[Speaker 1] Well at least you like your job. SOmeday your loans will be gone. I hate school so it is really irritating that I gotta pay loans eventually. o you think you can get away from work and we can get together?

[Speaker 2] What are you studying in college and how close are you to graduating?

[Speaker 1] I am studying psychology but thinking about changing it to elementary ed. since I really joy teaching the kids. How about you?

[Speaker 2] I studied finance and work in a bank.  Do most of your credits transfer over if you switch majors?

[Speaker 1] Yes they all will but there are a lot of other classes I have to take. I have only been taking the basic classes anyway like math and English so it would not really add much to my needed classes. SO are you still thinking about taking a class on making sushi?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I'm thinking about it.  I found one and emailed a friend to see if they'd like to do it with me but I haven't heard back from them yet.  I'm going to try to force myself to do it either way so I have more activities outside of work.

[Speaker 1] If you can find the time-lol- You do work a lot! Maybe when you do you can make some for me. I love sushi but it has to be dairy free or you'll be stabbing me with my epi-pen.

[Speaker 2] Okay, I will definitely make it dairy-free then!  I refuse to allow the first person I make it for to perish.

[Speaker 1] haha! I hope so. And afterwards I can make you some chicken sausage. I know you would like it if you had mine. I buy some really good chicken sausage made right in a local butcher shop. You cannot een tell the difference between that and pork sausage.

[Speaker 2] That sounds really good.  Do you put anything in the chicken sausage like apples or broccoli rabe?  I've had some sausages with some very exotic things inside them.
