[Speaker 1] That's great. I've always said there's something therapeutic about being on the water. It is just so relaxing. Any family members joining you?

[Speaker 2] One of my sister's was free today so she came out to enjoy the sun too! She's taking a nap in our hammock we have strung up. What are you doing before dancing?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I bet you get pretty good tips. How often do you go sailing?

[Speaker 1] My family is well thanks for asking. We are watching a movie tonight. How about your family? How are they? Any plans?

[Speaker 2] That sounds like fun! What movie? My family is great. My little brother is spending time with me on my houseboat.

[Speaker 1] We're catching the new Black Widow movie. It's so cool that you have a houseboat. It's such good weather to go right now. How has work been lately?

[Speaker 2] It has been very busy. Everyone is loving the nice weather and have been eating outside more! How is your work? Have you been doing many reiki treatments?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I have tons. It is actually very hot here since we're experiencing a heat wave. So a lot of people have been coming in to do meditation to work through the heat. However, I'm hoping to take my family to get Brazilian food soon. Any recommendations?

[Speaker 2] That's great! I always love getting steak and some type of vegetables! Healthy and delicious. Does your brother like Brazilian food too? Mine lives it!

[Speaker 1] Yes. He loves his steak well done, whereas I am more of a medium rare type of person. What do you enjoy most about bartending?

[Speaker 2] I love getting to meet all the different people! What is your favorite part about your job?

[Speaker 1] Black widow movie was awesome. We enjoy lot and had Brazilian foods.

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds fun! What is it about?

[Speaker 1] Black Widow is one of the character in the Marvel Avengers movies. Like Thor and Captain America. Have you seen any of those movies?

[Speaker 2] No I haven't seen any of those. What foods did you eat while watching the movie?

[Speaker 1] Wow, there are so many of the movies out there. Don't go see Black Widow without watching Avengers first. I had an amazing steak and vegetables on the side that were delicious. What is you favorite food?

[Speaker 2] Oh ok I definitely will watch those first! I love both steak and vegetables! I am a real foodie and love just about everything that isn't too strange to try lol.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow! Do you like sushi? I love it but the sea urchin is a little crazy lol. Have you ever eaten sea urchin?

[Speaker 2] I have never tried sea urchin or sushi but I do like crab legs and shrimp! Do you ever consider any foods to be good for healing? I find that you do healing very fascinating!

[Speaker 1] Yes, in fact I consider almost all foods to either be healing, harmful or neutral. In my opinion people should choose foods based on how they want to feel. Sushi is fresh and healthy so I considerate it to be very healing.

[Speaker 2] That is very wise thinking. Which vegetables do you feel are the best for healing? Are there any that should be avoided?

[Speaker 1] I feel that most leafy green vegetables are healthy, but it depends on the specific person's needs. For example some people need to avoid nightshades, like potatoes, etc. while other people can eat them without any problems. Overall, a diet with a variety of colors is good when it comes to vegetables

[Speaker 2] Are there any that are good for a persons mental and emotional well being? I have a lot of emotional trauma to deal with.


I like singing.

I am a person who enjoys running.

My parents met when they were in high school.

I have been to 20 different countries.

My favorite color is turquoise.

I love to spend time with family and friends.

My grandchildren especially bring great joy.

I want to always live near water, and in a warm sunny climate.

My favorite activity is reading.

And my favorite place to be is worshipping god.

My net name is Ptosis.

I listen to audiobooks and music.

I enjoy singing at church. I like to sing.

I live in Arizona.

My name is Ricky. I'm retired.

I love to read, spend time with my family, and go to church. I love my grandchildren.

I live in Florida.

[Speaker 1] Hello there? Who am I speaking with?

[Speaker 2] Hi! My name is ricky. Who are you?

[Speaker 1] Ptosis is my net name. What you like doing?

[Speaker 2] I'm retired, so whatever I feel like doing when I wake up in the morning :).

[Speaker 1] Me too! I've been everywhere & now just here.

[Speaker 2] I just love to read, spend time with family (i love my grandchildren!) and church.

[Speaker 1] I don't read so much nowadays, audiobooks & music only.

[Speaker 2] I didn't use to, but now I read the bible and go to church often.

[Speaker 1] I do enjoy the singing at church, I like to sing in general.

[Speaker 2] So where are you from? I live in florida. Have to be by the beach!

[Speaker 1] I been been all over the world and retired in arizona.

[Speaker 2] Very nice! I'd love to travel, but my grandchildren provide all the joy I need.

My net name is Ptosis.

I listen to audiobooks and music.

I live in Arizona.

My name is Ricky. I'm retired.

I live in Florida.

[Speaker 1] I listened to a new audiobook I have to tell you about.

[Speaker 2] Cool, what was the book's name and who it written by?

[Speaker 1] Darn, I will have to get back to you on that one. It's on my tablet which is dead currently. It was a good book for kids too, so your grandchildren might like it. I will let you know. How are you and the grandkids?

[Speaker 2] We're doing just fine. Church is a nightmare, they have a long way to go until they behave properly. They love to run around the place like chickens with their heads cut off.

[Speaker 1] Oh, I'll bet. I haven't been to church in a while, but I remember we used to have a little children's sermon and then send them off to the nursery. Asking a kid to sit and be still for an hour while someone talks about things they don't understand probably is like asking for a miracle -- but I guess if you were gonna find a miracle somewhere, a church seems like an appropriate place.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I've been a little more fatigued recently because of their behavior. I don't know if it's my age or just because I'm tired of dealing with them. I wish I could get one more miracle in life, to never have to be as tired as I am right now. Its hellish having to deal with them but at the same time it's the best thing to ever happen

[Speaker 1] Ah yes, that's what I've heard my friends say about their children and now their grandchildren -- an exhausting blessing. I never had any kids. Sometimes I wish I had, but I have always been a person who likes quiet and solitude, so I guess things worked out the way they were supposed to.

[Speaker 2] I guess so, God does have a way to make things right at very end. If only His plan always rewarded the moral things in life and punished the immoral, my life would have turned out better, but perhaps not I might've not met my wife if that was the case. What do you think?

[Speaker 1] I have definitely gained some blessings via immorality ultimately, but I do still agree. There's harmless immorality and then of course the people who aren't so harmless -- those are the ones I'd like to see their cummupance

[Speaker 2] Oh couldn't have said it better myself! There have been so many people in my life that have done me so dirty and I never saw them pain for their sins or never saw them at all. I wish I could them rot in hell. But then again you can't learn without mistakes, punishments, or negative consequences for things even if you did nothing wrong. At least that's the way I see it.

My net name is Ptosis.

I listen to audiobooks and music.

I live in Arizona.

I haven't been to church recently.

I don't have kids, likes quiet and solitude.

My name is Ricky. I'm retired.

I live in Florida.

My grandkids are wild.

[Speaker 1] How often do you go to church?

[Speaker 2] I go pretty much every week and sometimes even to the Wednesday night service as well. Even weeks that I don't feel like going, I'm always glad that I went afterwards. If nothing else, I love singing along with the music! lol!

[Speaker 1] Me too, I love singing and the songs at church are so up-lifting. Is your church close to where you live?

[Speaker 2] It's about 20 minutes away, which is a pretty easy drive on Sunday mornings. It seems like the only traffic is church-traffic. Is there any reason you haven't been going to church lately?

[Speaker 1] I've been having bad headaches. They seem to be improving though so I hope to attend this Sunday. I sure miss my church family. Do you grandkids attend church too?

[Speaker 2] No, I wish. My kids live about 200 miles away, so I only see them occasionally. Church didn't seem to take with my kids, but I hope sometime they'll be drawn back to the church. I'm sorry about your headaches. Yeah, church with all the people and loud music would make headaches so much worse. Do you take medicine for them?

[Speaker 1] Oh thats a bummer they live so far.  I hope your kids go back to church someday too. Thank you; I try not to take medication, but sometimes I really need to. I've been eating healthier and its helping! How do you like living in Florida?

[Speaker 2] I'm so glad that your lifestyle changes have been helping. I like Florida just a little in summer. I like it a lot in fall and winter, so in other words, I love it! It's amazing that nearly every day is sunny and I can see the water from my condo.

[Speaker 1] Wow thats so neat you can see the water from your condo! What a dream. You deserve it now that you're retired. I love living in Arizona. I like the dry heat and swimming.

[Speaker 2] I've only been to Arizona once, and it was Sedona, but it was a beautiful area. It was quirky and fun.

[Speaker 1] Sedona is a nice area! Its been years since I've been to Florida. Too many crowds on the beaches for me, lol. But I would like taking quiet evening strolls on the waters edge.

[Speaker 2] We locals know how to avoid the crowds. Trust me, we like the crowds even less than you do. lol!

My net name is Ptosis.

I listen to audiobooks and music.

I haven't been to church recently.

I have been having headaches that keep my from church, but they're improving. I try not to take medication, but I eat healthy.

I drive to church. I have grandkids and kids that live far away.  My kids don't care for church.

I have visited Sedona AZ.

I also dislike crowds of tourists.

[Speaker 1] Are your kids or grandkids coming to visit you in Florida soon?

[Speaker 2] They're coming next month for about a week. My grandkids are like fish, they love the water so much. lol!

[Speaker 1] That's great. You will have better time with your grand children. Can you afford them comfortable there

[Speaker 2] Yes, I planned for their visits when I bought my condo. There's plenty of room in my place.

[Speaker 1] That's great. Have you go along with them a country side view. Are they share anything with you

[Speaker 2] I'm not at all sure what you're trying to say here. I do live out in the country a little bit, as I don't live near a big city. Do you have any plans this summer to go to the beach or anywhere else for a vacation?

[Speaker 1] Okay I will consider you thoughts. I am planning for vacation this year. I will take notice the points. I will delebirately share my opinion

[Speaker 2] Where are you planning to go this year?

[Speaker 1] Planning for a long vacation. Can you have a suggession

[Speaker 2] Well, the beach is always good, so Florida or North Carolina could be fun. There's an amazing area called Holden Beach, North Carolina that has homes for rent for a reasonable amount and has a long, private beach. It's a great place to go.

[Speaker 1] Thank you for you kind response. Keep in touch with you. Best luck

[Speaker 2] Thanks. You too. I hope you have a great time this summer.

My net name is Ptosis.

I listen to audiobooks and music.

I haven't been to church recently.

I live in Arizona and like swimming.

I am planning to go on a long vacation. I am not sure where I want to go yet.

My name is Ricky. I'm retired.

My grandkids are wild.

I live in Florida in a condo near the water. I own a condo.  don't live near a big city. I live in a somewhat rural area.

I have visited Sedona AZ. I have visited Holden Beach, North Carolina.

I also dislike crowds of tourists.

[Speaker 1] I have decided to vacation in Holden Beach, North Carolina this summer.

[Speaker 2] Oh that's amazing! Did I convince you to go there?

[Speaker 1] Well, you gave me the idea. Do you think it's a good choice?

[Speaker 2] I think it is a great choice, especially if you love the beach! Do you enjoy the ocean?

[Speaker 1] Yes! I love swimming in the ocean. How's the water there? Not too cold?

[Speaker 2] It should be pretty nice in the summer time. It's actually too hot here in Florida during the summer, so North Carolina should be perfect. Is there anything in particular you want to do while you are therE?

[Speaker 1] I'd love to see some wildlife. I don't know much about the animals that live in that region. Do you?

[Speaker 2] I cannot say I am too familiar with the animals there. I think there may be a lot of Great White sharks around that beach though!

[Speaker 1] Oh my, that's good to know. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Have there been many attacks? Do you think it's dangerous?

[Speaker 2] I think you are fairly safe, just don't go out too deep. Do you like to go out deep for long swims?

[Speaker 1] I do enjoy going out past the break where the water is calm and deep. Perhaps if there are a lot of sharks that's not a good idea. Did you see any sharks where you were there?

[Speaker 2] No, I didn't see any, though I wish I did! Safely from shore of course...haha. I didn't mean to scare you, I am sure it's not that bad!

[Speaker 1] Budweiser is my favorite beer. I have only ever had a few cocktails in my life, I should try more. My brother is great, he might be moving to Canada.

[Speaker 2] My favorite cocktail is a margarita. Do you know any maneuvers to driving a dump truck?

[Speaker 1] I sure do, I miss driving my truck but I had to sell it

[Speaker 2] Did the money you made by selling used for something good?

[Speaker 2] It is! You have an open invitation to come here and chill- trust me, you won’t regret it! It’s the purrrfect place to de stress:)

[Speaker 1] I'd love to get to swim in a pool instead of build one haha!

[Speaker 2] Yeah... makes all the difference! In fact we have a construction project starting next week if you’re interested?!

[Speaker 1] Really?  That would be awesome!  I'm expecting to finish the current pool job this week.  It's a crazy one - the owner loves dogs, so the pool is shaped like a dachsund.

[Speaker 1] Did you begin construction yet, or are you still looking for help?

[Speaker 2] We just started a few hours ago and we are always looking for help.

[Speaker 1] Nice! What construction project are you guys working on again?

[Speaker 2] We are putting in a giant greenhouse.  We have a big garden on site that we use to help feed the employees. That way, we can extend our growing season.

[Speaker 1] That's a great idea!  I'd totally be willing to help out if you guys ever need it.

[Speaker 2] Yeah we could use some experienced hands.  Have you ever worked on greenhouse construction?

[Speaker 1] I haven't but I learn quickly.  As long as there's someone that can show me the ropes, I'll be fine.

[Speaker 2] You should apply for a job with us.  Pay starts out a $20 an hour.  You would probably get more money since you have construction experience.

[Speaker 1] that definitely sounds fair! I'm making around $25 now but that's right in the ballpark.  I'll be sure to apply tonight.

[Speaker 2] I'll put in a word for you.  You also get a lot of great perks since it is at a resort.  You get free gym membership, free pool privilages, free jacuzzi privilages, some fresh meals grown right out of the garden on site.

[Speaker 2] Hmm...I think I could find someone...Yes, me of course! Who else?

[Speaker 1] Haha, that would be great! I hope I hear back soon. So how is your garden doing?

[Speaker 2] It's doing really well! We just ended an amazing strawberry season, they were so delicious! Do you like strawberries?

[Speaker 1] I love strawberries especially homemade jam and strawberry shortcake. Do you do anything with your strawberries or just eat them?

[Speaker 2] I love to make chocolate-covered strawberries. I know it is not the healthiest thing, but they are so delicious with fresh-picked strawberries. They are the the hit of every party.

[Speaker 1] Oh I forgot about those, I really like chocolate-covered strawberries too!  Maybe I can find a few lingering strawberries and make some.

[Speaker 2] I think I still have some, but you should come grab them today before they go bad. It might actually be a good opportunity to show you around the garden.

[Speaker 1] Yeah that would be great! What time should I come over?

[Speaker 2] How about lunch time? I can whip something up with veggies from the garden!

[Speaker 1] Doesn't that sound like an amazing experience?! You will have to come over for dinner one day when my grandma is cooking. She makes the BEST authentic Italian food.

[Speaker 2] That sounds wonderful, thank you for the invite. Might need you to pick me up though, if you don't mind. I don't have a car right now.

my grandmother is from Italy. I have family in Italy. I am Italian.

I have been to the Caribbean. I like the Mediteranean.

my family is from the Caribbean. I haven't been to the caribbean in years.

I work a lot.

I want to go to Italy.

I likemusic, likes italian food.

I don't have a car.

[Speaker 1] My grandmother will be cooking food for us.

[Speaker 2] Does this mean that you'll be having italian food since she is from Italy?

[Speaker 1] Of course!  You are going to love it.  She is the best cook ever!

[Speaker 2] I do love Italian food! Seen any good british shows lately?

[Speaker 1] I've been mostly been watching some old ones.  And Dr. Who of course.

[Speaker 2] Is Dr Who very well known? I believe I've heard of it.

[Speaker 1] Yes, it's such a classic series with a huge following.  How is life on the boat?

[Speaker 2] A little rough! There have been some good storms rolling through so i have been docked.

[Speaker 1] Oh.  I suppose that's one of the downsides of living on a houseboat.  No cellar to seek cover in!  I bet it's been tough getting to work in the storms too without a car.

[Speaker 2] I work close by and I have an umbrella.

[Speaker 1] That's good!  I don't know how I'd get along without my beetle.

[Speaker 2] You'd be surprised how it can all work out. Humans are resourceful if nothing else.

I drive a volkswagen beetle and only watch british tv. I love Dr. Who.

I have a vw beetle.

I'm a bartender and live on a quaint little house boat but we are currently docked. I dock my boat in an out of the way place.

I work a lot.

I want to go to Italy.

I like music, likes italian food.

I don't have a car. I walk to work.

I haven't seen Dr. Who.

[Speaker 1] Has the weather improved? Are you able to leave the dock?

[Speaker 2] A little bit. Not enough to take the boat out though. Better safe than sorry.

[Speaker 1] How much longer are you going to wait?

[Speaker 2] I'll wait until the seas are calm. I'm in no hurry. Besides, I have to work, so it's not like I can just take time off. I need the money.

[Speaker 1] So how do you work when docked?

[Speaker 2] Oh, I just walk to the bar. It's close by, so it

[Speaker 1] Oh, I see. I know you dock it in an out of the way place but wasn't sure where in relation to work.

[Speaker 2] It's just a short walk, which is handy. Especially after work, when it's dark out.

[Speaker 1] Is it ever dangerous walking back in the dark in such a secluded area?

[Speaker 2] No, it's not too dangerous. I'm careful, though. Again, better safe than sorry. I try to stay in well lit areas and keep my wits about me.

[Speaker 1] I used to walk home in the dark too and it was always slightly unnerving.

[Speaker 2] Yes, but the key is to make yourself not look like an easy target. Walk with a purpose, stay in lit areas, etc. Make it look like it would be hard to attack you. Bad guys do not want to work that hard.

I have a vw beetle.

I walk at night.

I work a lot.

I want to go to Italy.

I like music, likes italian food.

I don't have a car. I walk to work.

I haven't seen Dr. Who.

[Speaker 1] Do you listen to Carribean music?

[Speaker 2] Yes I really enjoy Caribbean music, it reminds me of the times I have spent with my family in the Caribbean. do you like it?

[Speaker 1] I cannot say I have had the opportunity to listen to much of it, but I would love to expand my horizons. Do you have any recommendations?

[Speaker 2] I really like Peter Tosh, that's who I listen to most I'd say. Although it is very different to Beethoven so I'm not sure if it'll be for you!

[Speaker 1] I am sure I will love it, I can appreciate all music! whereabouts in the Carribbean is your family from?

[Speaker 2] They live on Anguilla. Where did you go to when you visited the Caribbean?

[Speaker 1] Anguilla seems beautiful! I would love to go there. I have been to Dominican Republic and Jamaica.

[Speaker 2] Excellent choices, they are both really scenic places, and really great culture. Do you plan to travel anywhere this year?

[Speaker 1] I would love to travel to Iceland, I hear that the scenery is beautiful and there is a lot of viking history to check out.

[Speaker 2] What a coincidence, that is top of my list of places to visit too. I am really keen to see the northern lights. Have you been to any of the other Nordic countries?

[Speaker 1] I have not, but that reminds me that I would also love to go to Norway! It doesn't look real in the pictures. Have you been to any yourself?

[Speaker 2] Norway does look incredible, I actually lived and worked in Finland for a short period of time. They have a great way of life in that region of the world


I grew up in the city.
My favorite drink is iced tea.

I am terrified of watching horror movies.

My favorite author is john grisham.

I have one sister who is married.

I drink ice tea.

I like visiting the zoo and I like the smell of the animals.

I like to people watch. Sometimes I read a book while I people watch.

I live in a very large city.

I do shift work at a restaurant. I like the small of roses and ferns.

I am terrified of horror movies.

I love cats.

I like the author John Grisham.

I have a sister and brother-in-law.

[Speaker 1] Hi there just grabbed an ice tea and am looking forward to chatting with you.

[Speaker 2] Hello I just finished my shift at the restaurant.enjoying the fresh smell of roses and ferns.

[Speaker 1] Very nice. I enjoy visiting the zoo and smelling all of the animals there.

[Speaker 2] Do you like horror movies.i am terrified of them.

[Speaker 1] I like them but I'm more afraid of getting attacked by the kitten my cat just had.

[Speaker 2] I love cats.do you read much?

[Speaker 1] I read some, I'm from the city and like to people watch with a book.

[Speaker 2] I enjoy john grisham.do you live in a large city?

[Speaker 1] Very large. So many people here.

[Speaker 2] Do you have a family? I have a sister and brother in law.

[Speaker 1] My cats are my family.

[Speaker 2] How many cats do you have?

[Speaker 1] Just the two. The three of us look alike, we've been told.

[Speaker 2] What color are your cats?

I drink ice tea.

I live in a very large city.

I am terrified of horror movies.

I love cats.

I like the author John Grisham.

I have a sister and brother-in-law.

[Speaker 1] I was people watching at lunch and I saw a woman walking her cat on a leash!

[Speaker 2] awww that's so cute, what color was the cat?

[Speaker 1] It was a very cute calico cat. I wish I can do that with my cat.

[Speaker 2] Calico cats are adorable. How's your cat doing and the new kitten?

[Speaker 1] She's doing well. Looking at her grooming the little fur ball is really heartwarming. Do you have cats?

[Speaker 2] that is very cute, do you think you're going to keep the kitten or give it away? I don't have a cat at the moment but i do a lot of catsitting for my sister.

[Speaker 1] I gave away the rest of the kitten and left only with this one. I don't have enough room for more kitten.

[Speaker 2] I see, i think it would be quite difficult to have loads of cats. Did you see any cool animals on your last visit to the zoo?

[Speaker 1] I went to see the hippos. I find them interesting. Do you have other animals you like other than cats?

[Speaker 2] hippos are quite funny. i like horses too, there's a stable near my workplace.

[Speaker 1] Wow. Won't the smell from the stable disrupt people in the restaurant?

[Speaker 2] the restaurant is about a 10 minute walk to the stable so we cant smell the stable haha. we sell the best iced tea!

I drink ice tea.

I live in a very large city.

I likehippos.

I am terrified of horror movies.

I love cats. I don't have a cat.

I like the author John Grisham.

I have a sister and brother-in-law.

I likehorses, thinks hippos are funny.

[Speaker 1] Have you been working a lot?

[Speaker 2] Yes, the restaurant has been very busy lately!  I've been working extra the last few days

[Speaker 1] Oh, I see. Why are you working so much? Are you trying to save up for something?

[Speaker 2] no not really.  Maybe I should get another cat haha.  I've just been filling in when needed.  Extra money never is a bad thing

[Speaker 1] Haha, do you think your cat would like another cat? Maybe you should get a dog.

[Speaker 2] I don't think a dog is a good idea.  I work shift work at the restaurant.  So I don't think I have the time that a dog really needs.  They are a lot of work, I think.  How's your cat and kittens doing?

[Speaker 1] That's true. Dogs need a lot of attention but they're so much fun. My kittens are growing up so fast, it's crazy! I think they will be adopted soon.

[Speaker 2] Wont you be sad to see them go?

[Speaker 1] I will, but I think it'll be better for them in the long run. I can't give all of them as much attention as I want, you know?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I can see that.  And you know they will go to loving families who will give them attention. That's awesome, but also sad for you too

[Speaker 1] That's true. Maybe you should adopt one. Then I can go to will you and the cat.

[Speaker 2] Oh, I'd love to!  I'll have to think about it.  I know I probably could manage it even with my work schedule.  Do you have a black and white one?

I drink ice tea.

I live in a very large city.

I likehippos.

I am terrified of horror movies.

I love cats. I don't have a cat. I may adopt one of your kittens. I would like a black and white kitten.

I like the author John Grisham.

I have a sister and brother-in-law.

I likehorses, thinks hippos are funny.

I have been really busy with work. I'm working just to save up money.

I don't think getting a dog would be good because i'm not around enough.

[Speaker 1] I have another friend who is excited to adopt a kitten too.

[Speaker 2] That's good to hear! I think I may actially want one as well, like you said earlier. What do they all look like?

[Speaker 1] Some are black, others are spotted. They're so cute! Maybe you can come over this weekend to see which one you can take home.

[Speaker 2] I would love too! They sound adorable? I know you live in the city, so it might be a bit of a culture shock for me. I live in the country

[Speaker 1] I didn't know that! Do you drive into town to work at the restaurant then?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, the restaurant I work at is in a small town nearby. It's a really quaint, beautiful town

[Speaker 1] Ah I would love to live in a quiet town like that. Living in the city is too crowded and not leisurely at all. The fast pace isn't for me I think.

[Speaker 2] I know what you mean. I don't think I could handle city life. Maybe after I visit you to pick up a kitten, you could come out to my place and see what country life is like. I think you'd love it!

[Speaker 1] Definitely. You know how much I like animals. Would you mind if I stayed for a weekend?

[Speaker 2] I think that'd be great! I could take you into town and show you the restaurant I work at. The people there would love to see a new face

[Speaker 1] That'd be so fun! What kind of restaurant do you work at?

[Speaker 2] It's sort of a diner-style restaurant. We serve burgers and fries and stuff like that

I drink ice tea.

I like horror movies. I have a cat that just had a kitten. I had more kittens before. I have a cat and kittens that are going to be adopted. My friends adopted kittens.

I live in a very large city. I would rather live in a smaller town.

I likehippos.

I do shift work at a diner-style restaurant. I like the small of roses and ferns.

I am terrified of horror movies.

I like the author John Grisham.

I have a sister and brother-in-law.

I likehorses, thinks hippos are funny.

I like kittens.  I am going to get a kitten from speaker 1.  I live in the country. I like living in the country.

[Speaker 1] I have 2 kittens left now, all the rest are adopted and cannot wait for you to take yours home.

[Speaker 2] I can't wait either! I'm getting everything ready. How many toys do you think I'll need?

[Speaker 1] It's so exciting! hmm I don't think you need toooo many. Maybe one of those tree things that they can climb on and scratch up against?

[Speaker 2] I already have one of those, but I've heard kittens can have a crazy amount of energy. Don't you think I'll need a lot of toys to calm him down?

[Speaker 1] I would say maybe 5 or 6 little toys. They definitely have a lot of energy but nothing compared to what a puppy might have. Do you know what you are going to name the kitten?

[Speaker 2] 5 or 6 sounds good. I'm not sure what I'll name him. I was thinking of something exactly like Squash or Artichoke. What do you think?

[Speaker 1] Oh my goodness, those are such cute options! I have never heard names like that for a cat, but it is very unique.

[Speaker 2] Haha, I'm glad you like it. I try to choose unique names. What is your cat's name?

[Speaker 1] I give my animals human names like Margaret and John haha!

[Speaker 2] Those are also very cute! Have you thought about getting any more animals sometime soon?

[Speaker 1] I would surround myself with animals if I could. I prefer their company more than humans most of the time!

[Speaker 2] Maybe you should move to a farm or start your own. Or you could move to the rainforest if you prefer wild animals.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow! That is very exciting. What country are you considering to locate to?

[Speaker 2] Canada or the UK. What countries did you go to school in?

My father is a drunk.

My name is Mark.

I am a mechanic, live with father.

I want to move to Canada or the UK.

[Speaker 1] Why would you want to move to Canada?

[Speaker 2] I'd like to move to Canada since I prefer the cold weather up there. How is Australia?

[Speaker 1] I would not survive that cold for even a day! It's so beautiful and warm here. You should visit soe time.

[Speaker 2] Yeah it sure does get chilly sometimes but I don't mind. I would love to visit! Do you have any dogs?

[Speaker 1] I just got a lab! His name of Buddy. He is the sweetest!

[Speaker 2] That's adorable! I cannot wait to meet him and congratulations on your raise!

[Speaker 1] Thanks! It will be life changing. What is new with you at work?

[Speaker 2] Oh nothing knew, you know, same old, same old, I've been more busy getting ready for the newborn! Do you have any travel plans?

[Speaker 1] That is so exciting! Do you have any names picked out? I would love to visit once the baby comes!

[Speaker 2] Yes we're thinking of naming him Drew and we would love to have you visit, what do you think?

[Speaker 1] I love that name. Very timeless. I will bring something monogrammed.

[Speaker 2] That's very thoughtful of you! I'm sure Drew can't wait!

My father is in the Navy.

My name is James.

I like dogs. I have a dog named Buddy. He is a Labrador retriever.

I don't like the cold, likes Australia.

I do not live in Canada. I live in Australia. I enjoy warm weather.

I will be buying a monogrammed gift for the newborn.

My father is a drunk.

My name is Mark.

I will be visiting Australia.

[Speaker 1] When are you expecting baby Drew to be born?

[Speaker 2] Probably next month but I hope Drew make it easy for me though lol. Congratulation on your raise.

[Speaker 1] Thanks I definitely worked hard for me. So will you be visiting the Opera house in Sydney when you visit Australia?

[Speaker 2] I don't loke Opera but will definitely visit Opera house though. What other places would recommend but not those typical touring spots.

[Speaker 1] Any place where they're offering a safari type experience will definitely be one you'll enjoy. Will your wife and child be joining you on your trip?

[Speaker 2] I have never done a safari tour so i guess that would be interesting. My wife will need some time after the baby so i'm wait for her to rest a bit then we'll Australia together. How is Buddy doing?

[Speaker 1] Oh he's great, he's loving this weather. Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 2] That's great, I love dogs. No but I always wanted a Huskey. I might get it after i move.

[Speaker 1] Oh they're such sweet dogs too. Do you know anyone in Canada? I've always considered visiting.

My father is in the Navy.

My name is James.

I don't like the cold, likes Australia.

My father is a drunk.

My name is Mark.

I am a mechanic, live with father.

I will be visiting Sydney Australia. Will visit Opera house. I do not like Opera.

I have wife and child.

[Speaker 1] I did some research on Sydney Australia and have made a list of activities that you may enjoy.

[Speaker 2] Wow, thanks! I'd really love to explore the nature. Is there much nature there or is it mostly city?

[Speaker 1] Sydney is very much a city, but it takes barely any time at all by car to escape the city and get too the nature!

[Speaker 2] That's great. What if I don't want to rent a car. Is public transportation reasonable there?

[Speaker 1] yeah there's plenty of public transport here, it quite reasonably priced and easy to navigate. You'll just have to plan carefully because the buses can get really busy on the weekends. If your child is coming with you I'd maybe recommend taking a taxi, they are pretty cheap too

[Speaker 2] Great! I can't wait. What type of clothes should I pack? It is always warm there, right?

[Speaker 1] oh yeah it's warm here, you can wear shorts and t-shirt most of the year round. apart from when it gets stormy! When are you planning on visiting?

[Speaker 2] I was thinking of going in August. That's winter there, right? Should I expect a lot of rain then?

[Speaker 1] Yeah that's winter for us, it can be a bit rainy. And I suppose I should have mentioned it will be cold in the evening time, so maybe some warmer clothes if you're planning on being out for dinner etc.

[Speaker 2] Thanks for the tip. I'm so excited! So, have you thought about going on vacation anywhere sometime soon?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I am planning to go to iceland at the end of this month, it's been my dream to go there for a long time

[Speaker 2] Wow, that's an exotic location. I've seen some beautiful pictures from there. Do you hope to see the Northern lights?


I have twelve brothers and sisters.
I live on the beach with my parents.
I want to buy my own house.
I love having horses and riding them.
I will move to the country soon.

I have blonde hair and blue eyes.
My parents are both from the north.
I lived in alaska for 3 years.
I want to retire on a beach.
I have a small smart car.

I live in the city with other people.

I have always had to share a room. I went to college.

I live near an ocean where hurricanes occur.

I have a car. I also have horses.

I grew up living near the beach so I have lost interest in it.

My hair is brown. My female horse is chestnut brown.

I haven't bought a house before.

I don't like hurricanes. I like the beach. I am not interested in traveling.

I am blonde. I have a blue eye.

[Speaker 1] Hello! You know anything about buying houses?

[Speaker 2] Nop.... I have no idea.

[Speaker 1] That's cool. I want to move out of the city and get my own place.

[Speaker 2] I am thinking of that too I have been living in alaska for 3 yrs.

[Speaker 1] I never even had my own room growing up or in college.

[Speaker 2] That is not too god my parent stays in north we are not together.

[Speaker 1] We have always lived by the ocean, but I want to move away from hurricanes.

[Speaker 2] I dont like hurricanes too do you have a car?

[Speaker 1] I do. I would love to be out in the country with my horses.

[Speaker 2] It will be great I dont like travelling just like going to the beach.

[Speaker 1] When you grew up on the beach you get over it quickly.

[Speaker 2] Okay, what is the colour of your hair mine is blonde.

[Speaker 1] Mine is chestnut brown, like the color of my mare.

[Speaker 2] Great... I habe a blue eye what about you?

I live in the city with other people.

I have a car. I also have horses.

I haven't bought a house before.

I am blonde. I have a blue eye.

[Speaker 1] I have found a few houses outside of the city that I'm interested in touring. Want to see pictures?

[Speaker 2] How were you able to find it?

[Speaker 1] I did some searching online and managed to find some great results.

[Speaker 2] Are you going to look at a lot of houses? Are you looking to rent, or buy a house?

[Speaker 1] I'm hoping to buy. I like the freedom of it. You don't have to ask your landlord for permission to do things with the house.

[Speaker 2] Yes, that is true! Will you be able to bring your horses to the place you might buy, or do you board them someplace?

[Speaker 1] I board them. It's just easier than trying to find a place with a barn and enough field space for them. Farms are expensive and there's a lot of maintenance that I just can't do on my own

[Speaker 2] Yes, that makes sense. What did you study in college?

[Speaker 1] Psychology. What about you? Did you go to college?

[Speaker 2] Yes, that is how I ended up in Alaska. I wanted to go to college here and I liked it so much that I ended up ataying.

[Speaker 1] Is it really cold up there year round? I live in Maryland so we get a good variety between the different seasons.

[Speaker 2] We get decent summer weather. I really like that part of Alaska. I don't really like travelling, but I like the beach. Do you?

I live in the city with other people.

I have a car. I also have horses.

I am interested in touring houses. I found houses to tour online. I want to buy a house. I want to have more freedom where I live.I board my horses. I can't afford or maintain a farm.

I majored in Psychology.

I live in Maryland. We get varied seasons.

I haven't bought a house before.

I am blonde. I have a blue eye.

I moved here because I was interested in going to college here. I like the summer weather in Alaska. I don't like traveling. I do like the beach.

[Speaker 1] I toured one of the houses that I found online-- it was a nice place! I am going to place a bid on it and see if I can buy it. It is exciting because it is near the place that I board my horses at!

[Speaker 2] That is great that it is close to your horses. How big is the house?

[Speaker 1] It has three bedrooms so I would rent 2 of them out. I don't want to live alone anyways. I think it's a good option. Do you prefer living alone or with people?

[Speaker 2] That is good that you will rent two rooms out and be able to not pay so much yourself. I think I am in between liking living alone or with people. I like being able to interact with people, but I do not like the mess.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, that's the idea. I think it's too lonely to live alone, plus you can pay for a housecleaner once a week. That usually saves a lot of arguments.

[Speaker 2] Yes, it is to lonely sometimes being alone. But sometimes its good because you have it nice and quiet. That is a good ideal about a housecleaner once a week. When do you think they will accept your offer?

[Speaker 1] I guess that's true too. When I want to be alone I leave the house and go on a walk. I'm not sure if they'll accept the offer actually..

[Speaker 2] That is good going for a walk when you want to be alone. Why do you not think they will accept the offer?

[Speaker 1] I think so too. Because it can be competitive. Sometimes a lot of people are applying for the same home. We'll see. How do you like to spend alone time?

[Speaker 2] Hopefully they will accept your offer. I like to listen to music and go for a walk. Or sit outside with nature.

[Speaker 1] I hope so too, thanks. THat's nice. I like to listen to music too, especially while walking. What type of music do you usually listen to?

[Speaker 2] I listen to a lot of music. It depends on how I am feeling that way. What about you?

I live in the city with other people.

I have a car. I also have horses.

I am interested in touring houses. I found houses to tour online. I want to buy a house. I want to have more freedom where I live. I board my horses. I can't afford or maintain a farm.

I majored in Psychology.

I live in Maryland.

I am looking to move to a new house. I am looking to live with roommates, or at least let strangers pay me to live in my house. I enjoy other people's company and would prefer to not be alone if I had the choice.

I enjoy listening to music.

I haven't bought a house before.

I live in a city in Alaska. I don't live with my parents. My parents live up North from where I live. I live by myself.

I am blonde. I have a blue eye.

I enjoy nature. I like to listen to the genre of music that matches my mood at the time.

[Speaker 1] The real estate agent just called and the seller accepted my offer on the new house I wanted!

[Speaker 2] That is the best news! Congratulations!!! Are you going to have to have roommates?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I am actually searching on Craigslist, but am only finding sketchy people.  Any tips?

[Speaker 2] Maybe look into a church or at work? Friends of friends? How did you find your current roommates?

[Speaker 1] Some friends of friends, but my new house is further away.

[Speaker 2] Well, it never hurts to ask. Maybe they know of someone up where the new house is? I don't know if I would advertise too much. You don't want those sketchy folks to know you're alone.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I've lived with sketchy people before.  We always had random people stopping by overnight and I never really figured out what they were doing.

[Speaker 2] That's scary. I don't think I could do that. I would rather live alone that have that experience.

[Speaker 1] I wouldn't recommend it. Have you ever had roommates?

[Speaker 2] In college, but that's it. I like the idea of sharing expenses, but I do like to have my own space. Much quieter.

[Speaker 1] I might decide to live by myself eventually, but I do like saving a lot of money on rent.

[Speaker 2] That's true. I guess it's a tradeoff. I'm not willing to make that right now. Luckily, right now, I don't have to. Living alone suits me, at least for right now.

I live in the city with other people.

I have a car. I also have horses.

I majored in Psychology.

I live in Maryland.

I enjoy listening to music.

I am searching for a house using Craigslist.  I am having difficulty finding a house.

I live far away from where my freinds live. I was uncomfortable with previous roommates.

I like saving money on rent.

I haven't bought a house before.

I am blonde. I have a blue eye.

I would prefer to live alone than that. I had roommates in college.  I like to reduce costs. I like to have my own space. I have enough money to afford living alone.

[Speaker 1] I know you said you don't HAVE to think about roommates, but would you consider it if it was me?

[Speaker 2] What would be a good reason for me to consider you as a roommate?

[Speaker 1] well, I mean I think so.  I really want to reduce costs and plus I mean we know each other and I don't think we'd kill each other, lol.  What do you think about it?  hmm.?

[Speaker 2] I like you well enough but I also like my peace an quiet. I really like being alone with my thoughts.

[Speaker 1] yeah yeah, I know, lol.  Just tosssing ideas around.  Must be nice to have all that financial security though, hahah.  But I think its more just having someone there, you know. But, it's fine. How did you find your place?

[Speaker 2] I will think about it for a few days. I do like the place. It has a very homey feel. I really don't need financial help but it is always nice to save a few bucks so I will consider you being my roomie.

[Speaker 1] Ok, thanks.  No pressure.  I mean I am not like in a dire situation, it was just a random thought that came into my head, so I thought I'd just ask.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure if you are accustomed to not living alone it would be a really big change for you. I can see why you would feel lonely and bored.

[Speaker 1] Well I mean I wouldnt say that, I just like being around familiar people.  At this point, I dont really want to get to know completely new people.  I am not lonely or anything - I mean I got my horses :). Whenever I get my own place, I want a backyard for a dog too :)

[Speaker 2] Will your horses be moving in too? I always wanted one for a roommate but when I've asked they always say nay.

[Speaker 1] hahahaha.  I wish I could bring the horse with me, but they are staying put :).  In some ways thats easier  for me.  What did you want to do this weekend?  I was thinking of trying one of those new restaurants that opened.  I love Italian food and its a new place!

[Speaker 2] Italian would be great! You know me, anything edible...


I like fishing.

I grew up in san francisco.

I am married and have 2 kids.

I travel a lot for my work.

My favorite food is home made french fries.

My favorite hobby is scuba diving.
I've been to hawaii three times.
I'm a us marine veteran.
I have two pet snakes.
My wife and I just got divorced.

I am married. I have 2 children.

I take my wife fishing. I like to fish. I eat french fries.

I work a long way from where I live.

I am a scuba diver.
I like french fries.
I have been to Hawaii 3 times.
I am recently divorced.
I used to be in the marines.

[Speaker 1] Hello there; how was your day.

[Speaker 2] Great thanks. Just got back from scuba diving.

[Speaker 1] I have been busy eating french fries made by my wife.

[Speaker 2] Yumm! Who makes homemade french fries though? Ever been to hawaii?

[Speaker 1] Not at all I grow up in san francisco.

[Speaker 2] You need to take your wife! I've been three times it is that lovely!

[Speaker 1] I will rather take her go fishing she loves it.

[Speaker 2] Anyway I just divorced so spend time with her no matter what it is.

[Speaker 1] I am indeed triying but my work place is far from where I live.

[Speaker 2] Think of your family first. I am a marine vet so I know what I'm talking about.

[Speaker 1] I have two kids they will keep her company.

[Speaker 2] No, a woman needs more than that. Her husband and maybe some pets.

[Speaker 1] Its really nice chatting with you.

[Speaker 2] Same to you and take care of yourself.

I am married. I have 2 children.

I work a long way from where I live.

[Speaker 1] My wife and I looked up Hawaii vacations for us and our children

[Speaker 2] Nice! How long do you plan to spent there?

[Speaker 1] At least a couple of weeks! Hope to get some good fishing in, maybe the wife and kids can go scuba diving while I go! Got any reccomendations?

[Speaker 2] Kailua-Kona is definitely the spot for fishing. Maui is better for scuba diving.

[Speaker 1] Guess we'll have to do some island hopping! I'm alright with that. Speaking of recommendations, I know you share my passion for fries, is there any spot I NEED to hit up? Kids love them too.

[Speaker 2] Last time I went there, there was no ferry service between Maui and Kona, but flight only take 35-50 minutes so it's doable. I only went to Mahaloha Burger and Teddy's Bigger Burger. They are good. Not sure about the others.

[Speaker 1] Thanks, I'll definitely check those out! Heck, maybe you should come with us and be our tour guide! Youre not in the marines anymore and I'd finally have a fishing buddy. I'd even go scuba diving!

[Speaker 2] We should! I'm not into solitary fishing that much, but Kona is a hotspot for sportfishing, I always welcome fishing buddy to compete together. When are you planning to go?

[Speaker 1] I was thinking early September, hopefully miss the worst of the tourist rush. Mhm, now I'm craving french fries. Wanna grab some and chat about the ex later?

[Speaker 2] Avoiding the rush is a good idea. The chatting won't be a good topic if you come with your family. Maybe after their sleep time we can catch up with a drink, and fries of course!

[Speaker 1] Nothing I hate more than too many people. I already deal with that enough on my commute to work! I'll be happy to not deal with that for a few weeks. Kids are normally down pretty early, how's nine at O'Sullivans sound?

[Speaker 2] I'm in! Wow I'm craving for fries already.

I am married. I have 2 children. I have a wife.

I grew up in San Francisco. I have never been to Hawaii. We are planning a vacation in Hawaii.

I work a long way from where I live.

I do not have anyone to fish with.

I dislike crowds. I commute to work. I like to drink alcohol.

I am a scuba diver.

I like french fries.

I have been to Hawaii 3 times.

I am recently divorced.

I am knowledgeable about recreational areas around Hawaii.

I am separated from my former partner. I like to drink alcohol.

[Speaker 1] How can you drink so much whiskey and not pass out?

[Speaker 2] Well, I guess I have built up a tolerance since the divorce. Whiskey truly soothes the soul! LOL!

[Speaker 1] Right on. Were all the Hawaii trips with your former partner?

[Speaker 2] No, most of them were work trips when I was with the marines. I did take one vacation though with my ex. Didn't you say that you and your wife are planning a trip there?

[Speaker 1] Yes, for us and the kids. Started looking into those places you recommended. Very excited for thins to come together. Ever done any fishing competitions down there?

[Speaker 2] Very exciting!! I haven't done any fishing competitions, but I have heard that they are a great experience! Are you planning to enter one?

[Speaker 1] Ha ha; no, I'm not at that level, but maybe someday. I'm just happy my wife joins me for it, even though she does not actually fish.

[Speaker 2] Well maybe y'all could go watch one of the competitions! I bet the kids would enjoy seeing some of the huge fish that people catch!

[Speaker 1] They are huge, right? That could be fun. Or I'll at least try to find one on the television. Do you still talk to anyone e from the Corps?

[Speaker 2] I'm sure there will be a few going on while y'all are down there. I do keep in touch with a lot of my team. I actually think one of them is living in Hawaii!

[Speaker 1] Oh, cool. I'll try to find a schedule, see how it lines up with our dates there. How about you? Any travel plans coming up?

[Speaker 2] Nope! Just maxin' and relaxin' as a I try to finalize my divorce! It's all about me right now! Maybe next year I will start traveling again.

I take my wife fishing. My wife does not fish. I like to fish. I eat french fries.

I work a long way from where I live.

I do not have anyone to fish with.

I am a scuba diver.

I like french fries.

I have been to Hawaii 3 times.

I am recently divorced.

I was in the Marines. I like to fish with other people. I enjoy competing in sport fishing. I have not participated in fishing competitions in Hawaii.

I keep in touch with friends from the Marines.

I am not planning to travel this year.

[Speaker 1] We have our Hawaii plans all set up.

[Speaker 2] Nice! What city will you be visiting?

[Speaker 1] We are going to stick with the tourist areas around Honolulu.  I am planning on taking an introduction to scuba diving class.  I might come back better than you!

[Speaker 2] hm debatable.  Maybe we can go together sometime so you can try to prove me wrong.

[Speaker 1] Well, maybe I will need a few more lessons first.  I am going to try some of the local drinks.  I am looking forward to a Blue Hawaiian and a Hawaiian Hammer while I am relaxing on the beach.

[Speaker 2] Those are some of my favorites! Is your wife excited?

[Speaker 1] She is very excited!  We are going to do a lot of family activities, and she has a few she would like to do.  We will take turns watching the kids.  We are taking the kids to swim with dolphins and possibly on those submarines.

[Speaker 2] that sounds awesome.  I've never checked out the submarines before.  That sounds like an awesome experience.

[Speaker 1] I guess you probably never got on a submarine as a Marine.  But I have read that some or all of the security on submarines involves Marines?  Maybe I read that wrong.

[Speaker 2] Maybe they do.  I never had to go on one though and neither did any of the marines that I know.

[Speaker 1] Probably so, just not that many subs.  Change of topic - I'm looking forward to the food in Hawaii.  We have a night luau planned for the family.  That should be fun.  Dance, music, food and drinks.  I am still going to find a good burger place that has great fries. You know I love them!

[Speaker 2] absolutely!  There's so much great food in Hawaii.  It'll be great for your family to be exposed to the culture there.

I work a long way from where I live.

I do not have anyone to fish with.

I'm going to Honolulu, Hawaii soon. I am going to learn scuba diving. I also plan to relax on the beach and enjoy some drinks. The kids are going to swim with dolphins in Hawaii. We will visit some submarines.I am going to go to a luau in Hawaii.

I am a scuba diver.

I like french fries.

I have been to Hawaii 3 times.

I am recently divorced.

I am not planning to travel this year.

I enjoy scuba diving.

Blue Hawaiian and Hawaiian Hammer are two of my favorite alcoholic drinks.

I am a former Marine. I've never been on a submarine.

[Speaker 1] I meant to ask you: do you miss your days as a Marine?

[Speaker 2] That's a great question.  I honestly do miss being in the marines and around all the great people I met.  We became really close.  I was actually stationed out in Hawaii - are you excited to go?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I hope the weather will be nice in Honolulu

[Speaker 2] The weather was always great when I was out there.  Lots of sunshine.  You'll have a great time scuba diving too!  That's something that I wished that I had learned.  What's your favorite type of fish to eat?

[Speaker 1] I think learning to scuba dive will be challenging, but I look forward to the nice underwater things I might see.

[Speaker 2] The coral and bright colored fish are so beautiful to look at.  That sounds like a great vacation you have planned.  I've never been on a sub before so I'm jealous that you are going on one.  What inspired you to want to go on a sub?

[Speaker 1] Submarines feel a little claustrophic, but they are still intriguing vessels that are worth exploring.

[Speaker 2] That's a great point.  I agree that it's an intriguing form of transportation.  Who would have thought that we'd be able to travel so far undersea?  I know that Honolulu has some great beaches.  What's the first drink that you're going to sip on when you're relaxing?

[Speaker 1] I think a Mai Tai is a drink that goes well with Hawaii.

[Speaker 2] Good choice.  I was always a fan of Long Island Iced Teas myself.  I also like a drink that was created out in Hawaii back in the 70's.  Have you ever had a Hawaiian Hammer before?  It's delicious.

[Speaker 1] Hawaiian Hammer with coconut flavor sounds tempting, I better not get too "Hammered" though

[Speaker 2] Ha - I may recommend staying away from that drink then.  The bartenders in Honolulu can be pretty generous with the alcohol.  Are you going to go swimming with the dolphins along with the kids?  That sounds like fun!


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 blonde.
I like to watch football.
My mom is a nurse.
I am a therapist.
My favorite food is pizza.

I have older brothers. I have a dad.
I am an engineer.
I have a favorite band.

I do not have any brothers. I have a family. I have a mom.

I am a therapist.

[Speaker 1] How many brothers do you have?

[Speaker 2] None. What are some of the things you like to watch?

[Speaker 1] I like watching movie with my older brothers.

[Speaker 2] Ah, I watch football with my family and eat pizza.

[Speaker 1] That is my dad's favorite sport.

[Speaker 2] Nice, my mom doesn't like sports, she's too busy working normally.

[Speaker 1] I see, it is strange my country dad cold chose to love such sport though.

[Speaker 2] So, what do you do for a living? I work as a therapist.

[Speaker 1] I am an engineer and I love it.

[Speaker 2] That's nice. My mom loves her job too, she's a nurse.

[Speaker 1] Do you love music, I have a favorite band.

[Speaker 2] I'm not into music that much. What's your fav band?

I am a therapist.

[Speaker 1] My favorite band just came on the radio and I have to share with you the song.

[Speaker 2] Go for it - what's the song?

[Speaker 1] Tom Sawyer by Rush. The guitar playing is amazing in the song.

[Speaker 2] I'm not familiar with the band. What genre of music do they play?

[Speaker 1] I guess they'd be considered rock, but the lead vocalist has a higher pitched voice and has more of an operatic singing voice. What type of music do you like?

[Speaker 2] I like hip-hop and funk. I don't really have a chance to explore different artists too often. Which bands would you recommend if I wanted to explore rock?

[Speaker 1] There's too many to choose from. Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, AC/DC. I think your best just finding a playlist and seeing what songs you like.

[Speaker 2] Alright, I will do that. Maybe I will listen to some of those artists during my car rides. Thanks for the recommendations!

[Speaker 1] No problems. Any recommendations if I want to try some funk?

[Speaker 2] I'd say Earth Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder, and Prince. Too many there as well. You can't go wrong!

[Speaker 1] Do you have a favorite Stevie Wonder album?

[Speaker 2] I'd say it's Signed Sealed and Delivered. Are you familiar with Stevie Wonder's music?

I have older brothers. I have a dad.

I am an engineer.

I have a favorite band.

I am a therapist.

[Speaker 1] I went through my brother's CD collection and he has a bunch of stuff by Prince, so I am going to give it a listen.

[Speaker 2] Funny you mentioned music again! Just the other day I heard a song from Rush on the radio and I thought about you.

[Speaker 1] Ah, my favorite band! I am thinking about picking up an instrument to learn how to play and I can immerse myself even more in the music. I would like to learn how to play an acoustic first, since it makes less noise and my neighbors won't be bothered. Do you play instruments?

[Speaker 2] Naa, not that I don't like it.. I just do not have the patience for that! When I was little I played piano.. that worked for a few years (and I have forgotten all of it now). I also tried guitar, but it was too hard. What works best for me are drums... we bought a handpan not too long ago, that's so much fun.

[Speaker 1] That does sound like a lot of fun. What other hobbies do you have then? I know you can't spend all of your time taking care of your family and being a therapist.

[Speaker 2] That's right... I do not have much time at all. Mainly when I come back home I am so tired that all I do is trying to watch a good movie on Netflix and similar. But besides music and movies I also love arts

[Speaker 1] That sounds really healthy. I love to watch a good movie on Netflix with some popcorn. I like all kinds of movies but I like action movies the best. What kind of movies do you like to watch? Are you into art films?

[Speaker 2] If it's a good art film yes, absolutely! Sometimes they are a little boring though lol:) - My favs are action, thriller, sometimes horror.. and I LOOVE popcorn

[Speaker 1] I love popcorn, too. Nothing like a good salty, buttery bag to go with a good movie. I also like to snack on chips and candy. My favorite are M&M's. Do you like to snack on any candies?

[Speaker 2] Oh yes, I didn't have M&Ms in some time and now thanks to you I have cravings! LOL:) peanut ones are my favorites

[Speaker 1] I love peanut M&M's, too! I can't have too much sugar though, otherwise I'll be bouncing off the walls. I also like to stay in good shape though with some exercise when I'm off work. How about you?

[Speaker 2] I like bike and swimming. Do not really enjoy going to the gynm though to be honest

I have older brothers. I have a dad.

I am an engineer.

I have a favorite band.

My favorite band is Rush. I enjoy the music of Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, and AC/DC. I want to play an accoustic.

I like action movies. I love popcorn. M&M's are my favorite.

I like to work out.

I am a therapist.

I do not play instruments. I used to play piano and guitar. I like the drums.

I love arts.

I like action thrillers and horror films. I love popcorn. Peanut M&M's are my favorite.

I like biking and swimming. I dont like the gym.

[Speaker 1] I heard purple rain on the radio and thought of you!

[Speaker 2] RIP Prince. It's so sad that he's gone! What a great album!

[Speaker 1] What's your absolute favorite Stevie Wonder song? Mine is Superwoman (Where were you?)

[Speaker 2] That's a great song! Mine is probably Superstition, but it's so hard to pick out one song of his. He was so prolific.

[Speaker 1] Definitely. It really isn't a fair question, extremely hard to pick a favorite lol. What's your favorite horror movie of all time?

[Speaker 2] Halloween. The original one. It basically established the modern-day horror movie. How about you?

[Speaker 1] That's a great one. I'd have to say The Shining. It's not the scariest but the camera work and symbolism is brilliant. I've actually seen a couple of docs that analyze it

[Speaker 2] Little did Kubrick know that his movie would be so significant that college students would be studying it 40 years later. lol!

[Speaker 1] Right! He was an absolute genius. I love the fact that Stephen King hated the movie so much he tried to do his own version later. I'm a huge King fan but he didn't do his own book justice with that one lol

[Speaker 2] Yes, that was a swing and a miss by King. A few of his books (Children of the Corn, The Langoliers, etc...) were pretty poorly adapted to movies, but The Shining isn't one of them. lol!

[Speaker 1] I'm willing to bet with the type of music you like that you love The Red Hot Chili Peppers

[Speaker 2] They're ok, but I prefer the music of the old funk performers like Earth, Wind & Fire, Parliament, Kool and the Gang and groups like that.

I have older brothers. I have a dad.

I am an engineer.

I have a favorite band.

I like to work out.

My favorite Stevie Wonder Song is Superwoman.

My favorite horror movie is The Shining. I have watched some documentaries about The Shining. I am a big fan of Steven King.

I am a therapist.

I am not familiar with the band Rush. I like hip-hop and funk music. I enjoy the music of Earth Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder, and Prince. My favorite Stevie Wonder album is "Signed Sealed and Delivered". I like the song Superstition by Stevie Wonder.

I love arts.

My favorite horror movie is the original Halloween.

I like Earth, Wind & Fire,, Parliament, and Kool and the Gang.

[Speaker 1] I just listened to some songs by Kool and the Gang!

[Speaker 2] oh nice, great choice! Did you enjoy?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, very catchy! I am expanding my horizons with music! I drove to the beach the other day and listened the whole way there.

[Speaker 2] Excellent, I'm really pleased that you enjoyed the music! Where are you living these days? I didn't realise you were by the coast

[Speaker 1] I live near Cape Cod, Mass. Whereabouts do you live?

[Speaker 2] nice, great place, when did you move there? I'm way across the other side from you, Medford Oregon

[Speaker 1] I actually just moved here, looking for a slower pace of life. It is very idyllic. I have never been to Oregon, do you like living there?

[Speaker 2] sounds perfect for you, are you still working? I love oregon, it's always been my dream to stay so close so many national parks so I can go cycling and swimming regularly

[Speaker 1] I am very fortunate that I came into some money recently so I no longer have to work. I am planning on writing a book, however. Wow, that is good for you, sounds like you live a very active lifestyle.

[Speaker 2] ah right, that's very interesting. what is your book going to be about?

[Speaker 1] I was thinking a mystery set on the Cape. That is why I moved here actually, to do research for the book and to immerse myself into the culture.

[Speaker 2] wow that sounds really good, you'll have to keep me updated with how the writing is going. I'd love to read the book once you've finished it

[Speaker 1] It's me again, ptosis, I am a freegan vegan.

[Speaker 2] Hey, I can relate to that. I grow all of my food from my garden!

[Speaker 1] I composte, and try to use everything more than once.

[Speaker 2] That sounds cool. I read a lot (mostly murder mysteries) and listen to music.

[Speaker 1] Hi Ricky!  Hope everything is going good with your son and the car dealership is doing well.

[Speaker 2] Hi Ptosis! Sadly the car dealership I'm working at is in a bad condition right now. I might need to start looking for a new job. My son is doing well, he's at a difficult age though. How is your son?

[Speaker 1] He is well! He starts 3rd grade next year! How old is your son?

[Speaker 2] He is turning 13 this month. He complains a lot every time my wife ask his help to tend the garden.

[Speaker 1] Oh! My son loves to garden with me! We are growing lots of vegetables right now!

[Speaker 2] That's so nice! What vegetables do you have in your garden?

[Speaker 1] We are growing broccoli and green beans right now! What are you growing in your garden?

[Speaker 2] We have lettuces, potatoes, and carrots, and trying to start with Kale. My wife tends to the herb garden in the corner, but I don't quite get what's in there.

[Speaker 1] That's great! I love kale! Hopefully when it is warmer we can grow some more fruits!

[Speaker 2] What fruits do you have in mind? We grew tomatoes before (if they counts as fruits), but the demand is low for that in my family we so stopped growing them.

[Speaker 1] Tomatoes are a fruit! My family doesn't like them much either! We grow strawberries in the garden and we also have a peach tree!

[Speaker 2] Right? I also count them as fruits but my friends keep protesting and I gave up on that. Tomatoes are tomatoes, whatever they classified as. LOL. Is strawberry hard to grow? I'd like to try that.

[Speaker 1] How goes the gardening? I know you said you were trying to grow some kale

[Speaker 2] It's great! Good exercise and sun, and then there's food after it's all done!

[Speaker 1] Yes, that seems like a good deal. You get all that in one.

[Speaker 2] I usually listen to music while gardening. Do you?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I like to listen to music when I garden also. When is your sons birthday?

[Speaker 2] It's actually on Christmas! He kind of gets robbed it seems...

[Speaker 1] That is funny. At least you can make his presents for both.

[Speaker 2] When is your son's birthday?

[Speaker 1] My sons birthday is in  April. How long have you been married for?

[Speaker 2] 15 years! I can't believe how fast it's gone by!

[Speaker 1] That is crazy. They say time goes fast when you are having fun. How do you like being a cars salesman?

[Speaker 2] It's a job. I think I'd rather be a farmer but land is so expensive. People will always need cars though, I think...

[Speaker 1] My strawberries are starting to come up, any luck with your vegetables?

[Speaker 2] My lettuce is growing strong and looks like it will be ready soon. The others are harder to tell. How are your peaches?

[Speaker 1] They're looking great. They're a bit labor intensive and finicky but I think I've got the hang of it now.

[Speaker 2] That is good. As a vegan do you eat a lot of the things you grow at home?

[Speaker 1] Oh definitely! It makes life a lot easier because the produce at my local grocery store isn't the best. The California weather must be perfect for growing all kinds of produce.

[Speaker 2] That is good. I was thinking of becoming vegetarian and but I do like barbecues food. What do you normal eat at barbecues?

[Speaker 1] These days there are good plant-based patties that I usually look for. Before it used to be veggie burgers, which wouldn't be so great usually.

[Speaker 2] Yes, I have noticed there is a lot more vegan and vegetarian options available in the shops now than there was before. I am thinking of growing black beans, the ones they use in the vegan patties, but my wife doesn't want me to use the last veggie plot for them.

[Speaker 1] beets are also pretty good for making veggie patties. Does your wife like beetes?

[Speaker 2] Yes she does. Yes, I may recommend that to her. She likes beets in her salad so she might like that option. What about radishes? Do you think they could be used?

[Speaker 1] The texture might be a little odd, but roasted radishes are really delicious. I could see it working.

[Speaker 2] Ok. I will keep that in mind. Thank you. What is the things that your son likes to plant in the garden?

I am named Ptosis.  I am a vegan.

I like to compost and recycle.

I have a son.  I am a single father.

My son starts 3rd grade next year.

I like to listen to music.

I eat a lot of the things I grow at home. I live in California.

I eat plant-based patties at barbecues. I used to eat veggie burgers. I have used beets in veggie patties. I like roasted radishes.

I like to garden and grow my own food.

I never seen Kill bill movies.

My son is turning 13. I have a wife. My son dislikes helping in the garden. I am growing lettuce, potatoes, carrots, and kale. My wife grows herbs. I have grown tomatoes, but I don't anymore. I would like to become a farmer. I like gardening. I am thinking of growing black beans. I only have one more veggie plot.

My sons birthday is on Christmas.

I have been married for fifteen years.

I am not a vegan or vegetarian. I like barbecues food.

[Speaker 1] My son likes growing blueberries. What vegetables are your favorite to grow?

[Speaker 2] Nice! And they are so versatile. They are both a quick snack and make delicious muffins and pies! I liked growing tomatoes. I would pull one off and make a mayo and tomato sandwich right then and there.

[Speaker 1] Tomatoes are also great! Have you ever thought about growing pumpkins? They actually make for great soup.

[Speaker 2] I have not! I bet they do. How long do they take to harvest?

[Speaker 1] They take up to 6 months to produce fruit but I think it's worth the wait! Do you guys get a lot of sun there?

[Speaker 2] It is fun to watch things like that grow. We get tons of sun in one area of the garden. Where do I buy the seeds?

[Speaker 1] You should be able to buy the seeds at any gardening store. There should be a few around where you live, right?

[Speaker 2] Yes. I usually get my seeds at a farmers market, but I have never seen them have pumpkin. I have seen butternut squash. I will grab some of those next time.

[Speaker 1] Oh, that's strange. Maybe pumpkins don't grow well there. So have you been cooking much recently?

[Speaker 2] We made a great stew with our potatoes and carrots the other day. I would offer you some but it has beef in it. From the farm nearby though. I think I have even met the cow before!

[Speaker 1] Oh, that sounds tasty. I could probably replicate the recipe but replace the beef with tofu or vegan beef. I love hearty stews!

[Speaker 2] You are more than welcome to some of our harvest to make a vegan stew! We have plenty.
