I like pizza and avocados. My father grew avacados on our farm.

[Speaker 1] Hi! I love meeting new people. Tell me something about yourself!

[Speaker 2] Hi! I'm originally from southern california where my dad was a farmer, how about you?

[Speaker 1] I work, but only part time. I really like to watch movies!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, good full time jobs are hard to find. What kind of work do you?

[Speaker 1] I actually work in a warehouse. Nothing super fun, but it pays the bills.

[Speaker 2] I just moved here for my job. Where are you from?

[Speaker 1] I'm not sure where I'm from. I really like to cruise to see new places.

[Speaker 2] Me too! Travel is my favorite thing.

[Speaker 1] Awesome! Any favorite foods? A few of mine are pizza and burgers. Yum!

[Speaker 2] I love pizza too! And avocados. That's what we grew on the farm.

[Speaker 1] Wow, that's really cool! What music do you like? For me, punk is the best.

[Speaker 2] I once drove 1000 miles to see the ramones. They're my favorite!

I am employed part time. I enjoy films.

I work part-time in a warehouse.

I enjoy traveling.

I recently relocated for work.

Traveling is my favorite thing to do.

[Speaker 1] How's the new job going? Got any plans to travel anytime soon, maybe to visit the family farm?

[Speaker 2] Oh, it's a good thing I moved, and I am looking forward to having time to travel. I want to go to some music festivals, I love punk rock.

[Speaker 1] Where did you end up moving to? A place that has music festivals and good pizza?

[Speaker 2] The Napa Valley, so yes, I guess you could say to both.  Terrific pizza and some small festivals. But I really want to go to Coachella next year, I can easily combine that with a trip to see my parents and their avocado orchard.

[Speaker 1] Oh that sounds like a good plan. Say someone wanted to join you on this trip to Coachella and get some pizza...how would that happen?

[Speaker 2] Hey, the more the merrier, just pm me for the details, if a group of us go we can rent a van, and stop at all the pizza parlors along the way. Comparative taste testing.

[Speaker 1] Omg that sounds incredible. Okay now we have to do this. I got a few friends I can ask, but I'll make sure you're okay with them first. Do you have any people you'd want to bring along?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I think I'll be bringing along a couple of people I've met at my new job. It would be a real team bonding experience.

[Speaker 1] Wow, they must have made a really good first impression on you to want to go with them on a roadtrip!

[Speaker 2] Yes, I'm really enjoying this new job, it was worth the move, and considering the way we go through the company pizzas, I know they are up for that also.

[Speaker 1] Company pizzas, are they hiring? haha. Don't tell me they get you some high end pizzas over there!

[Speaker 2] You better believe it, they feed us well around here, but they also demand a lot of work.  What about your job, do you get lunch and coffee thrown in??

I am employed part time. I enjoy films.

I work part-time in a warehouse.

I enjoy traveling.

I recently relocated for work. I just moved.

Traveling is my favorite thing to do.

I love punk music. The Ramones are my favorite band. I enjoy going to music festivals, and punk rock music.

I live in the Napa Valley. Napa Valley has terrific pizza and some small festivals. I want to go to Coachella next year. My parents have an avocado orchard.

I have a new job. I am enjoying my new job. My coworkers enjoy pizza. My job demands a lot of work.

[Speaker 1] I found a couple of friends that would like to go on the trip to Coachella.

[Speaker 2] Awesome. Have they been before?  I've been to a lot of festivals but never Coachella.

[Speaker 1] They have! It's me who would be going for the first time. I've never been to a festival. What're they like?

[Speaker 2] Chaotic but super fun.  Everyone is there for the same reason as you so it's like hanging out with an infinitely large group of close friends. Just gotta hope the weather is good.

[Speaker 1] yeah I can imagine. what do people do if it rains?

[Speaker 2] They go anyway and make the best of it. One year they made a huge muddy slip and slide. Gotta make lemonade out of life's lemons.lol

[Speaker 1] sounds like a party! are there multiple show stages or just one?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, you just wander around and find one you're interested in and hang out and make new friends.

[Speaker 1] that's pretty cool. are there like, showers or places to charge phones or anything? (sorry for so many questions, just trying to wrap my mind around the experience lol)

[Speaker 2] I've never been to Coachella but at the smaller festivals there are so I'm sure Coachella would be the same or probably even better.  It's definitely something to experience once in your life.

[Speaker 1] It sounds really fun. I'll just have to be sure to wear sunscreen! Have you been to lots of festivals?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I try to go a few times a year.  And definitely bring sunscreen and do not let yourself get dehydrated and end up in the Red Cross tent.

I am employed part time. I enjoy films.

I work part-time in a warehouse.

I enjoy traveling.

I want to go to Coachella with friends. I have never been to a music festival. I wear sunscreen.

Traveling is my favorite thing to do.

I go to music festivals often. I have never been to Coachella. I usually go to smaller music festivals rather than larger. I go to music festivals many times a year. I wear sunscreen.

[Speaker 1] Doesn't look like they're having a lot of punk acts at Coachella which is too bad, still planning to have a good time though!

[Speaker 2] Im sure there will be a few bands you will enjoy. It is Coachella after all.

[Speaker 1] I hope so, and I hope that it's not just a bunch of snobby rich people. That's definitely not my scene, but I am looking forward to going.

[Speaker 2] There will 100% be snobby rich but you will find more of your crowd im sure of it.

[Speaker 1] Well, at least the people watching with you will be fun. lol! Do you know if they usually have good food there?

[Speaker 2] Oh I got you covered on the food front. The food there is like 40$ for a piece of toast with cheese and one slice of tomato LOL. We are going to have alot of fun

[Speaker 1] Perfect! I intentionally didn't check yet who is playing there. I want it to be a total surprise and just live in the moment. Did you have any trouble getting off of work?

[Speaker 2] Not at all. I told them before they hired me that I needed this week off.  Yup. I cheated and took a peek at whos playing though. YOU ARE GONNA LOVE IT!!

[Speaker 1] Good. It sounds like we're all set then. Is there anything you need me to bring?

[Speaker 2] SUNSCREEN!! Like barrels of it HAHAH! Just few basics. I will text you the list.

[Speaker 1] Thanks, I would appreciate that. And yes, sunscreen is vital for those of us who are 90% Irish. We just burn and freckle. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. LOL!

[Speaker 2] Yes I know how you burn.  Remember the pizza weekend at the beach last summer. Lobster boy HAHA JK JK

I am employed part time. I enjoy films.

I work part-time in a warehouse.

I enjoy traveling.

I want to go to Coachella with friends. I have never been to a music festival.  I am going to Coachella. I am excited about going to Coachella. I hope there will be bands I like at Coachella. I have not checked who is playing at Coachella. I enjoy surprises.

I am 90% Irish. I need to buy sunscreen. I burn and freckle easily.

Traveling is my favorite thing to do.

I am excited to go to Coachella. I have eaten the food at Coachella. I have this week off. I have checked who is playing at Coachella.

I went to the beach last summer.

[Speaker 1] Are you headed back to work already? I hope you've had enough time to rest after our crazy week!

[Speaker 2] Not yet, thank goodness. I am still enjoying the time to myself to recharge!

[Speaker 1] Coachella was a blast.  I am so glad that I went.  I have a ton of video that I need to go through.  Did you get good pictures and videos?  I'd to share what we each got with each other.

[Speaker 2] I got some really great and fun pics. I will send them to you over email for approval before I post on social media.

[Speaker 1] Hmmmm.  Well I certainly do not need to approve your pics.  They are yours.  I would never try to keep you from posting any of them.  I was just thinking we could share what each of us took.  Maybe you have pics and videos of things that I missed.

[Speaker 2] Oh okay. Some people want the "okay" before pics make it to the universe!

[Speaker 1] I suppose they do.  Anyway, I made it through the week without any sunburn.  All pictures of me are "burn free"!  I started looking into the bands that were there.  I liked a lot of the music, and much of it I had never heard before.  Some very talented bands out there.

[Speaker 2] No kidding! What a great lineup. It was one for the books!

[Speaker 1] Did you have any favorite bands from the week?  I really like Smith and the Stones and Froggy Jump.

[Speaker 2] Those were enjoyable, but Napa Newsomes really did it for me!

[Speaker 1] I will have to go back and check my videos.  I did not remember that band.  Good thing is there was plenty of them so you almost always can find one that you enjoy.  The crazy clothes people were wearing was also cool.  A Lot of unique styles.

[Speaker 2] I certainly picked up some fashion do's and don'ts while there!

[Speaker 1] I'm a senior. This is my last year of high school! Yippy!

[Speaker 2] Congrats! I just got a new cut and color from my stylist.

[Speaker 1] Nice! I wish it was me, but I'm moving into a spanish community next week.

[Speaker 2] Sorry it took so long. I fixed an iced tea, my fav. Drink.

[Speaker 1] It's ok. What else are you into?

[Speaker 2] Well, I love the zoo. I think it is fascinating.

[Speaker 1] I like listening to spanish people when they don't know I understand their language..

[Speaker 2] That's too funny! Can't imagine their reactions when they find out the truth.

I am a Senior in High School.

I just cut and dyed my hair.

I  like iced tea.

I like going to the zoo.

[Speaker 1] I am all packed and ready to start moving to the Spanish District!  It took a long time to organize my stuff

[Speaker 2] I bet! If it were me I probably would have spent half the time I was packing looking at my cats!

[Speaker 1] Well, what better way to pass the time? I just wish this process could be a little faster!

[Speaker 2] I'd be happy to help you unpack at your new place. Just promise me a nice, cold iced tea and I'll be good to go.

[Speaker 1] Oh, that sounds wonderful! What's your favorite kind of iced tea? I never did like the flavors, but I know many do. :)

[Speaker 2] Lipton! Can't beat a classic.

[Speaker 1] You're right about that, and thanks so much for offering to help me unpack. I'll definitely have some yummy tea ready!

[Speaker 2] Sweet! Literally. I think this move is going to be a great move for you. Haha get it?

[Speaker 1] Oh, that's was awesome! So, besides helping me and my moving mess, what are your summer plans?

[Speaker 2] Sadly, mainly working. I'm hoping to take a trip to some city with a massive zoo once my finances are in order though.

[Speaker 1] Oh, that would be so good for you! I hope to see lots of fun zoos and parks in my new district. When you are able, would you like to come visit with me and we can tour all the zoos and parks we can fit in a trip?

[Speaker 2] I would love that. It sounds a wonderful adventure with you.

I am a Senior in High School.

I am moving in a week.

I speak Spanish. I am moving to the Spanish District.

I am finished with school.

I just cut and dyed my hair.

I like going to the zoo.

My favorite iced tea is Lipton.

My summer plans are working and taking a trip to a city with a big zoo.

[Speaker 1] What are your cats names?

[Speaker 2] Her name is Baby. I named her kitten Boo Boo. Do you have any cats?

[Speaker 1] Super cute! I don’t have any yet but I’d love to... Maybe in a few years!

[Speaker 2] Sure you don't want one sooner? lol  You'll have to let me know if you have a zoo where you move. It would be a lot of fun to come visit and go to the zoo!

[Speaker 1] Actually there is a huge zoo just a few miles from my place. We should definitely plan on a visit soon- a weekend that works for both of us will be purrrfect!

[Speaker 2] Ha Ha. I'm free every weekend for the next couple of months. Just let me know when you want me to come. I've got to send you a picture of my new hair color.

[Speaker 1] How about next Saturday? I’ll have the iced tea ready ;) What color did you dye your hair?!

[Speaker 2] I look forward to it! Well, not only did I go shorter, I was very bold and went Pink! Can you believe it? Pink!

[Speaker 1] Omg... lol... can’t wait to see the pic! Pink!! Really?! You are bold... gotta give you that!

[Speaker 2] Thank goodness it washes out lol. I'm not bold enough for the permanent stuff.

[Speaker 1] Enjoy it while it lasts... I bet you’ll be ready for another funky color before this one has faded out! By the way you’re most welcome to bring Baby and Boo Boo with you next Saturday.

[Speaker 2] I'm thinking about blue for the next time. Thanks. You'll enjoy Boo Boo, he's a mess!

I like cats. I don't have any cats.  I like to ride a mountain bike.

I am a Senior in High School.

I am moving in a week.

I have a female cat.  My female cat just gave birth to 1 kitten. I have two cats. One cat is named Baby. One kitten is named Boo Boo.

I am finished with school.

I just cut and dyed my hair.

I like going to the zoo.

My favorite iced tea is Lipton.

I recently dyed my hair. I cut my hair shorter recently. My hair is colored pink. My hair is not permanently dyed.

I am free every weekend for the next couple of months.

[Speaker 1] Let's plan a time to go to the zoo since you are free for the next few weeks.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like a great plan! Let's visit the zoo after you get all settled into your new place. How long can you stay at the zoo? Will it be an all day trip? I sure hope so.

[Speaker 1] I can probably stay at the zoo the whole day.  How do you want to get there?  We could take the bus or I could see in one of my parents could take us.

[Speaker 2] Let's take the bus! I do not want your parents to have to drive all that way, and then we won't feel rushed either. I am really looking forward to seeing the baby lions that were just born. Which exhibit do you want to see?

[Speaker 1] I want to see the big cats - the lions and tigers.  How about you?

[Speaker 2] I definitely want to see the big cats too, that will have to be our very first stop. I think the zoo has recently released a new amphibian and reptile exhibit which will be  nice to check out.

[Speaker 1] Those aren't my favorite animals, but that's okay.  At least I'm not afraid of snakes like some people.

[Speaker 2] Oh okay, we can skip it if you will feel scared. I know that there is another zoo in the next city over. Maybe we could visit that sometime over the summer as well? I have every weekend off this summe.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a plan.  I'll have to see which weekends work for me.

[Speaker 2] Okay, I hope that you will be able to visit the additional zoo with me. Zoo's and animals have been a big bonding point within our relationship. We could even get annual passes to the zoo and then visit as many times a year as we would like. Is that something that you may be interested in?

[Speaker 1] Maybe, I'll have to see if I can afford it.  Hopefully, I will find a part time job for the summer.

[Speaker 2] I hope that you are able to find a part time job. It should be easy since there are so many places hiring right now.

I am a Senior in High School.

I am moving in a week.

I hope there are a lot of zoos and parks in my new district. There is a zoo close to where I live. next few weeks we are free so  Let's plan to go to the zoo. I can stay whole day at the zoo. I want to see the big cats.

I will find a part time job for this summer to earn money.

I am finished with school.

I just cut and dyed my hair.

I like going to the zoo.

My favorite iced tea is Lipton.

we can go by bus, our parents will be tried to drive along way. I excited to see baby lion. the zoo has new animals like amphibian and reptile.

[Speaker 1] The baby lions looks so cute, I wish i could play with it.

[Speaker 2] I think any baby animal looks quite cute, really. Except baby insects. They're just creepy. How about you? Which baby animals are your favorites?

[Speaker 1] I think baby elephants are sweet.  And elephants are such social animals and help take care of each other.  I've been seeing a lot of praying mantis in our garden this year.

[Speaker 2] Do praying mantis damage plants? I always feel like they're so rare that I've never learned much about them.

[Speaker 1] No, they eat other insects.  They have giant front legs to snatch them fast.  They're green.  One fall there were a dead one on our front steps that was over 3 inches long.

[Speaker 2] Wow. Good thing they're skinny, or they'd be much scarier. By the way, are you finished packing for your move? I bet it's stressful.

[Speaker 1] No, I'm not done.  I'm pretty excited but my mom is stressing out!  Was it stressful leaving Tallahassee?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, it was, though not because of the packing. It was just the anxiety of having to get used to a new place. Are you nervous?

[Speaker 1] Not really.  I would be nervous if I wasn't finished with school.  I guess I'm somewhat nervous about finding a job.  Did it take you long to get used to your new location?

[Speaker 2] I'd say it took a few months, but it helped to join some local events in the beginning. I was able to meet people in a swing dance class, believe it or not. I still talk to some of those people. Maybe you could look online for fun local classes.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I am not sure what swing dance is but I'm interested in ballroom dancing.

[Speaker 2] Swing is a lot of fun, but it takes a lot of energy because it's pretty active. Ballroom sounds fun to try. I feel like it's less forgiving of mistakes, though, so you have to look more elegant. Do you like any other types of dance?

I love going to the gym.
I own a jeep wrangler.
I am married.
My husband is a lawyer.

I live in the midwest.
I have a twin sister.
I have been a dentist for 14 years.
My wife and I sleep in separate rooms.
My favorite precious metal is gold.

I have not been to a dentist in awhile.  I am now a vegan.

I do not love animals.  I enjoy going to the gym.

My saved money goes towards my gym membership.

I am a dentist.

I have a twin sister.

Me and my wife do not live in the same room.

I live in the midwest.

[Speaker 1] Hello! What do you do for a living?

[Speaker 2] I'm fine... I am a dentist.

[Speaker 1] Interesting! I haven't seen one in awhile since I'm now a vegan.

[Speaker 2] Dont you love animals at all.

[Speaker 1] No, not as much as going to the gym.

[Speaker 2] Lol you are just like my twin sister.

[Speaker 1] Wow neat! Are you married?

[Speaker 2] Yes but me and my wife are not living in the same room.

[Speaker 1] Ironically neither are me and my husband. He is an lawyer with long hours.

[Speaker 2] Very good I live in the mid west you?

[Speaker 1] I live in nevada. Just purchased my own jeep wrangler for these rocky hills.

[Speaker 2] I dont have a car I save my money for gold.

[Speaker 1] All of my saved money goes into my gym membership as I love going there.

[Speaker 2] Good do you have a twin?

I am a dentist.

I have a twin sister.

I live in the midwest.

[Speaker 1] My husband took on a very high profile case.  I am excited because it will be good for his business, but I am also nervous because of the media attention that will come with it.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that is both exciting and worrisome! What kind of case is it?

[Speaker 1] I am not really suppose to discus it but a very rich guy is accused of killing his maid

[Speaker 2] Oh fascinating (and sad of course)! I want to be rich enough to have a maid, but I would let him or her live. Do you think he did it?

[Speaker 1] That is all can say about the case. I am not allowed to say anymore, sorry.

[Speaker 2] It is ok. Your husband is lucky to have a partner like you. Has he ever taken on a high-profile case before? I bet the media in Nevada eats that stuff up!'

[Speaker 1] This is his first big case. The Nevada is eating this up because the rich guy owns a few casinos and hotels in Las Vegas.

[Speaker 2] I bet so. I hope they don't follow you around town! I imagine it would be hard to work out with cameras all around you!

[Speaker 1] We have a house outside of Las Vegas so it is not so bad here. Oh by the way what causes a sensitive front bottom tooth? I am starting to get a toothache.

[Speaker 2] Surely you know that being vegan does not mean you won't have dental issues! It could be a number of things. Sounds like your nerve might be exposed. I would get to a dentist right away!

[Speaker 1] That is what it feels like. The top part of the tooth there is no pain but close to the gum line when I touch it i feel pain

[Speaker 2] Definitely time to see a dentist. I had a patient who had to have 7 teeth removed because she waited too long to go to the dentist and the cavity she had just took over! It was gross even for me and my hygienist.  Does it hurt to drink cold or hot beverages?

I am married.  Me and my husband do not live in the same room.  My husband is a lawyer. He just took on a very high profile case. My husband is working on a case involving a very rich guy accused of killing his maid. This case is my husbands first big case.

I have a house outside of Las Vegas. I am starting to get a toothache.

I am a dentist. I've had a patient who had to have 7 teeth removed because she waited too long to go to the dentist.

I have a twin sister.

I live in the midwest.

[Speaker 1] I have a dentist appointment scheduled for tomorrow to get my toothache checked out.

[Speaker 2] I am glad to hear that! It is always get it check out before it is too late. Any updates on your husband's case?

[Speaker 1] I could cancel and you could look at my teeth. I can't talk about his case sorry, it's confidential.

[Speaker 2] I hear you and I totally understand, it is just to excited. My bad sorry.. Yeah I can squeeze you in tomorrow after lunch time. Does that work for you?

[Speaker 1] Sounds great! You got any cleaning appointments available either? I don't want to loose any teeth to decay

[Speaker 2] Let me check on that aching tooth tomorrow first. If it needs a filling or not.. If not I can do a quick cleaning session. Other vise we might need to schedule another appointment for the cleaning. Does it sound alright for you?

[Speaker 1] All sounds good. I bed the gold you've saved up could be used for teeth caps.

[Speaker 2] Hahaha never thought of that before. I collect gold as an investement not a bling. Although I am thinking to start saving for a car. Are you happy with your Jeep Wrangler?

[Speaker 1] It's alright it's nice to drive to Tahoe in it, but it's a guzzler. I should probably cancel my gym membership.

[Speaker 2] To be honest I canceled my ages ago. I wasn't using it anyway, instead we are walking with my twin sister every week. I think walking is the best sport activity.

[Speaker 1] Yeah hiking is pretty popular in the northern parts of nevada. I love weight lifting though I can't just walk or I get bored. Maybe I should make a at home gym.

[Speaker 2] I used to have an at home gym, I didnt use it at all. It was just siting there.. I sold it online. I got bored walking alone too. That's why I like to walk with my sister, to have a company and to catch up.. Maybe you should get a work out buddy too?

I like to drive to Tahoe.

I love weight lifting.

I have a twin sister.

I live in the midwest.

I do not have a car.  I save my money for gold. I collect gold. I want to buy a new car.

I like to walk.

[Speaker 1] What kind of car do you want to buy?

[Speaker 2] I have always wanted a Jeep, they seem like so much fun to drive, and there are so many things you can do to customize them.

[Speaker 1] Nice! I love my Jeep.  What kinds of customizations would you want to make?

[Speaker 2] I'm not exactly sure,  I have always liked the idea of lifting it up a little bit with some nice tires.  I also like the idea of dropping the top and taking of the doors to feel the breeze when you drive it.  Does your Jeep have a hard or soft top?

[Speaker 1] Mine has a hard top.  I like to be protected from damage in case of an accident.

[Speaker 2] That is smart thinking.  Do you ever take off the top or doors?  Do you have any other customizations on your Jeep?  Do you use it to tow or haul anything?

[Speaker 1] I keep the tops and doors on because they make me feel safer.  I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to make any customizations.  I've never had to tow anything before and I'm hoping I don't have to.  I'm scared to break something.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense.  What color is your Jeep?  Also, what kind of vehicle does your husband drive?

[Speaker 1] My jeep is red.  My husband drives a toyota corolla.  He values reliability a lot in his cars.

[Speaker 2] I also value reliability.  Toyota's are good cars,  I have also been thinking about getting a Toyota.  They seem very practical.

[Speaker 1] They're really good if you take care of them.  It seems like they can last forever.

[Speaker 2] There are a lot of them on the road. I heard that you have to pay more for insurance on red vehicles, is that true with your Jeep?

I live in Nevada.  I just purchased my own Jeep Wrangler. My Jeep has hard top. My Jeep has tops and doors. I've never towed anything before. My Jeep is red. my husband drives and his car is  toyota corolla.

I like to drive to Tahoe.

I love weight lifting.

I have a twin sister.

I live in the midwest.

I like to walk.

I don't have a Jeep.

[Speaker 1] How about your plan to buy a car? Have you decided to buy Toyota?

[Speaker 2] You know, I looked around and decided to go with something sportier. I bought a Mini Cooper! Have you ever driven one of those?

[Speaker 1] I hear they are very nippy cars.  My good friend has one i have driven one once but my legs are long and can't get comfortable in them.  I like my Jeep!!  Hope you enjoy this, planning any outing soon?

[Speaker 2] I think I might take a drive up into the Smoky Mountains. Not only are there beautiful views there are lots of nice twisty roads that I can scoot around on. The car handles fantastic, but the suspension is...well, it's a "sport suspension". Not exactly like driving a couch down the road, haha!

[Speaker 1] You will find it very nippy on those kind of roads for sure.  Is it custom made with flags or fancy head light tassels,  just saying would look good lol.  I'm trying the exercise priority and getting to do some rabbling.  So off in the Jeep and bring my boots and hiking sticks.  Do you get out for good walks in the smoky mountains?

[Speaker 2] I might do some hiking there! I've never done it before, usually when I've been in the Smokies it's on the way to somewhere else so there's no time to stop and walk around. I know there are a lot of hiking trails there. The Mini doesn't have any flags on it (yet lol!) or tassels. I've seen both Minis and VW Beetles with eyelashes though. I think they're really adorable but not something I'd put on the car. Does your Jeep have anything like that?

[Speaker 1] A little bling it ok but i know what you mean it can be a bit much too.  Mini's do need something to give them something retro maybe.  I hope you are able stop on route for a good stomp, i'm getting well into my fitness now with my gym membership.  It is a good stress release going a few times a week what with my husband working away it is a good distraction.  Hows your mouth now after having all those extractions, hope no concerns and no pain?

[Speaker 2] Oh that was my patient! I had her in for follow up and they're healing really well, no dry sockets or anything. How are you feeling, I know you said earlier you were starting to get a toothache.

[Speaker 1] Bless you thanks for asking, im doing fine it just needed a bit of a filling and all is well.  Sorry for the misunderstanding regarding your patients that's a tough one.  Do you see a lot of that with patients?  Is it all the sugary drinks that causes that?  You probably don't want to talk about work but you must get a lot of questions all the time socially.

[Speaker 2] It really depends. Sometimes it's sugary drinks, sometimes it's lack of brushing, sometimes it's just that they have genetically poor enamel and are more prone to cavities. I get fewer questions socially than you might think, I think it's because people are afraid I'm going to say they need the tooth yanked, haha!

[Speaker 1] Flossing is the question i always get asked when at check ups.  Its a routine i need to stick with and hopefully look after them.  I hear what you say in regards a mixture of issues and its surprises me that people don't brush their teeth.  Again probably lots of reasons for that also.  How is your twin sister getting on is she in the same profession as you?

[Speaker 2] Yes, flossing is really important for both tooth and gum health! My sister is doing great! She's not a dentist, no, she's an assistant curator at the Met in New York City. She works with medieval art.


I enjoy food and eat meat.

I like snowboarding.

I used to work for cisco.

My favorite performer is charlie parker.

I'm going to buy a new car.

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 going to buy a new car. I don't really like cars.

I recently got a divorce with my wife.
I like scuba diving and snakes.
I am a US Marine veteran.

[Speaker 1] Hello nice to meet you.

[Speaker 2] Howdy hows your day going?

[Speaker 1] My day is going well and you?

[Speaker 2] Its going ok just trying to get by.

[Speaker 1] Oh sounds like you need a pick me up.

[Speaker 2] Well my wife and I recently got divorced and im lost as to what to do.

[Speaker 1] Oh I'm sorry to hear about that.

[Speaker 2] Yea im just going day by day trying to figure things out. Anything going on with you?

[Speaker 1] Well I'm planning on buying a new care.

[Speaker 2] Thats nice you like cars?

[Speaker 1] Not really just need them to get around.

[Speaker 2] Yea im the same way im into scuba diving and snakes more.

[Speaker 1] Wow sounds like a great hobby.

[Speaker 2] Yea you probably wouldnt have guessed it but im a us marine vet.

[Speaker 1] I ended up buying a new car, I went with an SUV.

[Speaker 2] I bet you hated parting with all that money buying something you don't really like?

[Speaker 1] Yeah I did but I suppose I need one to get around so didn't have much choice but to get one. How's the single life treating you?

[Speaker 2] Yeah things are ok thinking about getting back on the dating scene and trying to find someone new in my life.

[Speaker 1] Yeah now that your divorced maybe it's time to make that step and move on and try and find happiness with someone else.

[Speaker 2] I think thats what I need at least to have get out there and start searching. I was thinking about joining an online dating site.

[Speaker 1] Sounds like a good idea to me a lot of people find love that way these days. I have friends that met through online dating.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I think I will give it a try then and see who comes a long, maybe I will meet the love of my life lol.

[Speaker 1] You never know you might just find them, you got to start somewhere right?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, at least online I have don't have to go far to connect with lots off women and I may just find the one amongst them all.

[Speaker 1] Your right it makes it so much easier to meet people these days but you got to be careful of the catfish out there as well.

[Speaker 2] Yeah so many people hide who they really are you can never be 100% sure.

I think getting out there would be a good idea. I have friends that met on online dating sites.

I am concerned there will be a catfish.

I recently got a divorce with my wife.

I like scuba diving and snakes.

I am a US Marine veteran.

I am single but thinking about going on dates to find someone new. I am thinking about joining online dating sites. I am looking for the love of my life. I am looking for a women.

I am aware some people are not who they say they are.

[Speaker 1] I found out my new SUV has cruise control which my other car did not.

[Speaker 2] That's great, cruise control is really helpful, especially when you are on the highway for a while.

[Speaker 1] Great point. I do a lot of highway driving too.

[Speaker 2] Did you know some cars have adaptive cruise control now? They use radar to see cars ahead, and can speed up and slow down with traffic.

[Speaker 1] No way! Wow! Technology is really doing amazing things these days.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I'm really curious as to what they do next with vehicle technology. I think self driving cars are pretty much the only thing left to do!

[Speaker 1] I would kill for one of those once they are out and affordable.

[Speaker 2] Yeah me to. Teslas are almost full self driving, but they are super expensive, definitely not affordable for the average person.

[Speaker 1] Right. They are WAY out of my budget!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, plus the quality just isn't there. They tend to have so many little defects that just don't happen with other auto makers, but I guess that's what happens with you are pretty new at making cars.

[Speaker 1] What are you driving these days? How did you and your ex split up the cars?

[Speaker 2] We each had our own car. When we were married we shared finances, so I guess we both sort of helped with buying them for eachother. We decided it would be simplier if we each kept our own.

I am concerned there will be a catfish.

I travel long distances by car often.

I am not rich.

I recently got a divorce with my wife.

I like scuba diving and snakes.

I am a US Marine veteran.

[Speaker 1] Is your car an SUV, sedan or truck?

[Speaker 2] My car is a Dodge van.   Do you like your new SUV?

[Speaker 1] I really do! It has every option I wanted and it's such a nice ride! What year is your Dodge van?

[Speaker 2] It is an older van-2010.   You mentioned that you travel a lot.   Where have you been lately? If I may ask?

[Speaker 1] I just came back from a trip to the coast. I haven't been to the beach in so long, I decided to break in the new SUV.

[Speaker 2] Ahhh that sounds so refreshing.   Did you have any stories from going to the beach?

[Speaker 1] I went scuba diving while there. I haven't done much of that, so it was a new experience for me. Since you like scuba diving, where are some of the best places you've been diving?

[Speaker 2] Oh my!  If you want the best scuba diving places, you have got to try Thistlegorm in the  Egyptian Red Sea.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like an awesome trip! Were you there as a Marine or was it a vacation trip?

[Speaker 2] I was there as a marine, but was never able to go diving.  I had to stay in the boat.  But I did go back for a vacation trip.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow! What did you see while diving?

[Speaker 2] You won't believe it, but there are tanks, aircraft, armoured vehicles, Jeeps and Bedford trucks down there.   It is so awesome to explore and take pictures.

I don't really like cars. I bought a new SUV. I like my new SUV.

I am concerned there will be a catfish.

I travel long distances by car often.

I am not rich.

I like to travel.  I just came back from a recent trip to the beach. I tried scuba diving at the beach.

I recently got a divorce with my wife.

I like scuba diving and snakes.

I am a US Marine veteran.

I am old enough to drive. I own my own car. My Dodge van is a 2010 model.

I used to be a Marine.  I have taken a vacation to Thistlegorm in the Egyptian Red Sea. I saw military vehicles underwater at Thistlegorm in the Egyptian Red Sea.

[Speaker 1] How is the search for the love of your life going?

[Speaker 2] Not too great so far, but I'll keep trying! Have you given online dating a try yet?

[Speaker 1] I've tried, but interestingly, I only keep meeting up friends there! I made a new one recently...we just didn't click reomantically online.

[Speaker 2] Well, it's still nice to make new friends. Are you planning any traveling or beach trips for the summer?

[Speaker 1] Yes definitely! I was at the beach last weekend and loved it. I went scuba diving and actually saw a shark.

[Speaker 2] Wow! I love the water and scuba diving but sharks are one thing I try to avoid!

[Speaker 1] It was so scary! I had to try and stay calm but wasn't easy. Are you worried about sharks in the Red Sea by any chance?

[Speaker 2] I never saw a shark in the Red Sea, luckily. And not sure when or if I'll visit again. I'm trying to be frugal for now, so I'll stick to places I can travel to by car

[Speaker 1] That makes sense! Have you done any nice road trips recently?

[Speaker 2] I made a few hours trip to visit a friend in Texas recently. It was a nice trip, except my car died out on me! I might have to get a new one. What would you recommend?

[Speaker 1] Wow! I love the brisket out there. Was any barbeque good? Carwise, I love SUVs. So much space and great comfort on the long drives.

[Speaker 2] Yes, Texas BBQ was out of this world! So delicious, I already miss it. And I'll definitely consider an SUV! I love my Dodge but she's just been giving me too much trouble


I'm an omnivore.

[Speaker 1] Would you like to play League of Legends together sometime?

[Speaker 2] Yeah that'd be so fun. Who's your favorite character?

[Speaker 1] Annie is one of my favorites, I'm just getting into League though, I used to play Teamfight Tactics quite a bit actually

[Speaker 2] Nice! Never played that, maybe you can teach me. Do you play on the same computers you work on?

[Speaker 1] Actually yeah, I built my own gaming PC, the ironic thing is I barely have time to use it. Can't complain about getting work though! Do you have a full team of friends for League?

[Speaker 2] Most of the time. It depends who of my group of friends is available.

[Speaker 1] Ah ok, well if you ever have a spot and you are playing casual let me know. Do you get really mad playing sometimes?

[Speaker 2] I hate to admit it but yes! I can't help but get invested in the game haha- I'm quite competitive. What about yourself?

[Speaker 1] I can definitely get competitive for sure, especially if I feel like I am good at the game. Maybe I should practice a bit before playing with you guys!

[Speaker 2] We have different levels of experience in the group, but we are definitely fun to play with, would love to have you join us! It sure helps to have a nice gaming setup to play with a group, I'm still working on my set up.

[Speaker 1] Oh nice, if you give me a price range maybe I can help you pick up some good stuff at a good price for your setup. I know some people lol

[Speaker 2] Great thanks so much! Did you ever have your main gaming platform be a laptop or you've always been on a desktop?

I work on computers.

Annie is my favorite character. I'm just starting to play League of Legends. I use to play Teamfight Tactics alot.

I have built my own gaming PC but don't have much time.

I am competitive.

I have a gaming laptop. I play League of Legends with friends. My favorite character is Alistar. I have never played Teamfight Tactics.

I get mad playing. I'm competitive.

I am still working on getting my gaming set up.

[Speaker 1] I found a great gaming set up for you at a reasonable price if you would like to take a look!

[Speaker 2] Oh, do tell! What are the specs like?

[Speaker 1] top of the line. i'll send you the info and you can verify. I think we will have to share some gaming tactics with each othe

[Speaker 2] Excellent. I'd be happy to share. We can play duos on League of Legends together. I'm not that great though. I'm only in Silver IV.

[Speaker 1] that sounds good! we can teach other to be less competitive and just have fun. there is value in that for sure. what activities do you enjoy outiside of gaming?

[Speaker 2] Excellent. I enjoy running and skateboarding. Baking too, I guess. What about yourself?

[Speaker 1] i also enjoy running. I like baking and cooking as well too, although i'm often too busy to do it. I have never skateboarded before! do you go to skate parks? waht is your favorite thing to bake?

[Speaker 2] I do go to skate parks! Sometimes I also go to empty parking lots and places with stairs and handrails and whatnot. I like baking pastries, like croissants and eclairs.

[Speaker 1] ah yes, I do recall seeing people skate sometimes in empty parking lots. that's a good idea! wow croissants and eclairs sounds really fancy! you will have to share your favorite recipes. I enjoy baking cookies and brownies. well and eating the batter and dough

[Speaker 2] Oh, those sound great. I also like eating raw batter, haha. And yeah, I'd be happy to share my recipies with you! I'll send them over as an email attachment.

[Speaker 1] thank you! I have a friend who is a master at making macarons. I don't know how she does it, it seems so hard. it takes so much patience to be a really good baker. but I think it's also a good hobby to destress. and also tastes great!

[Speaker 2] Macarons are definitely very had to make. It's difficult to get them to come out light and airy.

I work on computers.

I am competitive.

I like to run. I like baking and cooking.

I get mad playing. I'm competitive.

I like to run. I like to skateboard. I like to bake pastries.

[Speaker 1] I'm looking forward to baking your recipe.

[Speaker 2] Which recipe in particular are you interested in? The cookies or the brownies?

[Speaker 1] Honestly both, your baking is incredible but I would defiantly like to try the brownies first.

[Speaker 2] They are my favorite. I will send you the recipe once we're done talking. I suggest adding some walnut to the ingredients, but you don't have to if you don't like them or are allegeric.

[Speaker 1] They are the best. I will make two batches one with the walnuts and one without, I’m looking forward to seeing which ones I prefer. Thank you for allowing me to use your recipes.

[Speaker 2] Anytime. I like to share the love. Speaking of sharing the love, would you mind helping me get my gaming computer set up?

[Speaker 1] Oh yeah of course, I would love to help you. Let me know which day works best for you and I will come over and set it up for you.

[Speaker 2] I work the next three days, but will have two days off after that. Does that work for you? Once we get it set up, we might want to consider playing a little League of Legends!

[Speaker 1] Yeah that will work out great. And yes we absolutely need to play. Hopefully you will be able to give me some pointers as I still getting used to playing it and you play so well at that game.

[Speaker 2] Happy to do so, but as you know, I can get a little competitive... I will try to keep the swearing down, but no promises!

[Speaker 1] No your good I can get competitive too when i am good at the game, so I completely understand haha.

[Speaker 2] I don't know why, but I just start seeing red when I lose. It is a problem and I am working on it, but I have always been this way. I am seeing an anger management specialist and she is helping, but I still have a long way to go.

I work on computers.

I am competitive.

I will make two batches one with the walnuts.

I still getting used to playing it and you play well at that game. i am good at the game.

I get mad playing. I'm competitive.

I work the next three days.

I am seeing an anger management specialist, to help me.

[Speaker 1] My daughter loved your recipe.can you tell your secret more

[Speaker 2] My secret to cookies with walnuts or any nut really is to let them set a day.  They are always better the second day.  Did she make any with coconut or chocolate?

[Speaker 1] I don't think she likes coconut, but she made the some cookies with chocolate chips. Do you have any secrets about chocolate ship?

[Speaker 2] Now those eat nice and warm from the oven.  I always add a little less than the recipe calls for but only because I like a little more cookie with the chocolate.  Have you tried making bar cookies?  They are faster and easier.

[Speaker 1] I'm going to have to try some of your cookies, I make a mess of things a lot haha. Everytime I try cookie bars they get burnt.

[Speaker 2] Ha! That happens.  I have actually been playing around with puff pastry recently but most of the recipes don't really turn out well.  Have you worked with puff pastry?  Any tips?

[Speaker 1] Sorry I haven't worked with that. I try to cook from scratch and don't like using any store bought stuff. I think my oven is the problem, not me! I swear!

[Speaker 2] Cooking from scratch is satisfying.  What is your favorite dish to make?

[Speaker 1] Well I bake with as much organic stuff as I can. I tried Alfredo recently, but it needs too much cheese! I bet there's no real cheese in the store bought ones.

[Speaker 2] Alfredo sounds good.  I like to bake more than cook but I do enjoy making curry.  So many flavor combinations to try.

[Speaker 1] I love curry! Do you ever make it spicy or do you like it mild?

[Speaker 2] I usually make it spicy but found a great lemon curry recipe that is really mild but the lemon packs a punch.  I can send you the recipe some time if you want to try it.

I liked debate club the most in school.

I do computer programming for a living.

I just got a new job yesterday.

I am a meat eater.
I like running.
I wear pants.
My parents grew up in alaska.
I work as a programmer.

I'm getting ready to leave on a cruise. I love cruises.

I learned to swim in Alaska when I was 5.

I love debating. It was my favorite club in school.

My favorite food is pizza.

My parents grew up in Alaska.

I am a programmer.

I love running.

I recently started eating meat again. I was a vegetarian for a few years.

My favorite clothing article is pants.

[Speaker 1] Hello! How are you?

[Speaker 2] Im great. How are you?.

[Speaker 1] Great! Getting ready to leave for a cruise! Love them!

[Speaker 2] Sounds great. We did a cruise to alaska last year..my parents grew up there.

[Speaker 1] Fun! I learned to swim there when I was five.

[Speaker 2] How cool. What do you do for a living? I am a programmer.

[Speaker 1] I do computer programming as well! It's new I just started yesterday.

[Speaker 2] You will find it a rewarding career. Hobbies? For me, running. Love it.

[Speaker 1] Debating! That was my favorite club in school.

[Speaker 2] O ok. So, do you have a favorite food. I actually just started eating meat again.

[Speaker 1] Pizza. Were you a vegetarian?.

[Speaker 2] I was for a few years. Yes..

[Speaker 1] I love meat..i could never do that lol.

[Speaker 2] Ha ha. So, this is funny..my favorite clothing article is pants.

My favorite food is pizza.

My parents grew up in Alaska.

I am a programmer.

I love running.

My favorite clothing article is pants.

[Speaker 1] Since I just started as a programmer, can you give me some tips?

[Speaker 2] Sure! What kind of projects are you currently working on?

[Speaker 1] My first project for work is to make a bot that will check that a set of instructions have been followed within the organisations software

[Speaker 2] Ahhhh, we'll for general advice I would say that you should become familiar with more than one programming language. There are so many different ones in use right now and you don't want to bar yourself from a project because you only know one or two. As for your specific task, I would say to not be afraid to turn to your peers for code review. The more eyes, the better!

[Speaker 1] I will keep that in mind thankyou. How are your projects going?

[Speaker 2] I'm currently working on building a e-commerce store for a local small business. Not terribly exciting, but satisfying to help out my local community. How did you get interested in programming?

[Speaker 1] I was looking for a career change and computing seemed intresting, however I was awful at the hardware side of things haha

[Speaker 2] I didn't realize that this was a fresh start for you; what did you do before?

[Speaker 1] I was originally in marketing but the further I followed that career path the more I realised it just wasn't for me.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure some of those skills will translate well; in both fields you have to have a good feel for what the customer needs. Will your new job let you work remotely while you're on your cruise?

[Speaker 1] Yeah they said they're more than happy with it, thankfully I already have my laptop and the cruise has WI-FI access so I should have everything I need

[Speaker 2] Where are you headed on your cruise?

I'm a computer programmer. I just started yesterday. My first project is to create a bot.

My favorite food is pizza.

I used to work in marketing but I did not like it.

I am going on a cruise.

My parents grew up in Alaska.

I love running.

My favorite clothing article is pants.

[Speaker 1] My cruise just made its first stop and I went on a snorkeling tour.

[Speaker 2] Where did your cruise stop first? I have never been snorkeling before, but I would love to at some point. I bet there was so many cool things to see.

[Speaker 1] It was amazing! We stopped off in Costa Rica. I definitely want to go back some time for snorkeling.

[Speaker 2] Was there any kind of certification process in order to do that? I know you have to be certified to scuba, but I'm not sure about snorkeling.

[Speaker 1] They just did some on the spot training. Nothing crazy. Tomorrow we are stopping in Belize. I am so excited to try some of the local cuisine!

[Speaker 2] I am so jealous, I really need to go on a cruise at some point. I always love trying new things, especially food. Did you have to book the cruise really far ahead?

[Speaker 1] You should start with the Alaska cruise since you wouldn't have to travel to get aboard. Maybe I will book that for my next one and we can go together. You need to book Alaska ones about a year in advance.

[Speaker 2] Gotcha, I will look into that for sure. I heard you like pizza? What is your favorite kind of pizza? I love supreme, or anything that has a lot of toppings on it!

[Speaker 1] Oh, yes, I sure do love pizza! My favorite is ham and pineapple. Have you tried it? It sounds weird, but it really works!

[Speaker 2] I have never tried it. I have never had Hawaiian pizza, or anything like that with pineapple. I'm sure the pineapple and ham makes it have a tangy flavor.

[Speaker 1] It is so good. You are making me crave it. I think I will order that for dinner.

[Speaker 2] Yeah I might have to get one for myself too. Might as well try something new, as I said, I love trying new things!

My favorite food is pizza. My favorite pizza is ham and pineapple.

I am going on a cruise. I went snorkeling. My cruise stopped in Costa Rica. My cruise stops in Belize. I am excited to try new foods.

I recommend Alaska cruises. I am possibly going on an Alaska cruise next year.

My parents grew up in Alaska.

I love running.

My favorite clothing article is pants.

I have never been on a cruise.

I love to try new things. I love to try new foods.

I love supreme pizza. I have never had Hawaiian pizza.

[Speaker 1] Guess who finally booked their trip!

[Speaker 2] No way! You booked that cruise to Alaska? Without me?

[Speaker 1] I couldn't wait! It just sounded like so much fun! You should book yours too if you want to come with me

[Speaker 2] Ha-ha, that's great to hear. You know I really want to go but I'm just so busy with this whole e-commerce store. You know despite it being entirely online, it still sucks up a lot of my time. I could really use a good cruise to relieve some stress, though.

[Speaker 1] Cruises have wifi nowadays, maybe you could do some work at night? It wouldn't be as fun though.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that's exactly what I was considering, but I don't know if I'd be able to enjoy it as much. I think I just need a little more time before I bite the bullet. How long is the cruise going to be?

[Speaker 1] This cruise will be one week long. Hopefuly sometime soon you will be able to take that much time off work.

[Speaker 2] One week isn't too bad. How are you going to handle it? You can also work remotely since you do programming, actually.

[Speaker 1] Hopefully I will be able to get enough done before I leave that I won't have to work while I'm on vacation, but usually something comes up anyways whenever I try to do that.

[Speaker 2] There's always something that gets in the way. Do you think you could teach me how to swim if I decide to go? I'd hate to be in the middle of the ocean without knowing.

[Speaker 1] Sure, I could teach you! It will be useful if you want to participate in any of the water activities on the stops in Alaska.

[Speaker 2] Awesome! Speaking of Alaska, I'm assuming the cruise takes place during the warmer months? I know you hate cold weather, ha ha.

I am very excited about my Alaskan cruise. I will be gone for a week on my cruise.

I have to work overtime as a programmer so I don't have to work on vacation.

I am confident I can teach someone how to swim.

My parents grew up in Alaska.

I am a programmer. I am working on an e-commerce store. I am very busy with work. I run an e-commerce store that takes up a lot of my time.

I love running.

My favorite clothing article is pants.

I have never been on a cruise.

I want to go on an Alaskan cruise.

I wouldn't like to take a working vacation.

I don't know how to swim.

[Speaker 1] I had to stop myself from buying anything so I have enough money to spend on the cruise. Thought anymore about going? It'd be great to have a friend!

[Speaker 2] I did think more, but I am scared! I was watching this series about murders on cruises. I think I need to learn how to swim first, in case I fall overboard!

[Speaker 1] Well, I know you were interested in the Alaskan cruise but that is certainly a fear you need to get over first. I actually learned to swim in Alaska. Maybe you could take classes during the cruise?

[Speaker 2] I think I would be more comfortable if I knew how to swim before I went on the cruise. I know I probably won't fall off, unless you push me! I will have to look and see if my local pool offers classes!

[Speaker 1] Well, you know I would never push you! But, I will push you to get those classes done. Once you get a few classes in, I would be happy to go swimming with you to help you build up your strength as a swimmer! The pool down the street from me just opened. If your interested we should set up a time to go together.

[Speaker 2] That sounds like I plan. Physically, I know I can do it, as I've run several marathons, but it's the mental part that is the hardest! I love soaking up the sun, so whenever we're at the beach or a lake, I always play volleyball or frisbee or nap in the warm sun. Swimming just never really appealed to me!

[Speaker 1] That is interesting. Do you know what made you so mentally against swimming? Maybe some kind of traumatic experience in your youth?

[Speaker 2] I think it's because I might have control issues! You can stop doing everything on land, and still live. but if you stop swimming in water, you drown pretty quickly! I also was scared when I was younger, when my cousin fell through the ice and almost drowned in elementary school!

[Speaker 1] I suppose that makes since. Does your cousin swim these days or did that set your cousin away from swimming as well?

[Speaker 2] She got water in her lungs and has breathing issues now. I don't think she swims or does anything physical! Maybe I not only need to take swimming lessons, but needs to see a therapist before we go on a cruise, lol

[Speaker 1] Wow! That is a serious incident that she went through. Maybe you should see a therapist before you go! Either way, I really want you to go on this cruise with me. I think you would love it once you get over your fear.

[Speaker 2] I think so too! We could definitely have some fun, and see  great scenery on a cruise! There are a few whales, and some beautiful Icebergs I want to see if we go!

[Speaker 1] Nice, I was up late watching movies. What movies do you like?

[Speaker 1] Either lol.. I love comedies, but horror movies terrify me.

[Speaker 2] I can't watch horror movies. I am up all night. My kids however love them.

[Speaker 1] Isnt that funny! I have to watch cartoons after anything scary.

[Speaker 2] I just cant watch them in general. For some reason my mind just goes into overdrive.

[Speaker 2] 15. Do you have any?

I work at a fast food restaurant.

I have kids.

[Speaker 1] Besides horror movies, since you don't like them, what are your favorite types of movies to watch with your kids?

[Speaker 2] We like to watch documentary type movies as well things based on true stories, something interesting.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I like a good documentry too but like my comedy movies as well.

[Speaker 2] Yeah we like to watch a good comedy now and again as well. I liked the film Bronson have you ever seen it?

[Speaker 1] Yeah I watched it a couple of months ago on netflix, I really enjoyed it.

[Speaker 2] Yeah he really was one mad bloke but lovable at the same time lol.

[Speaker 1] Yes that he was. Do you like documentries about prison and that?

[Speaker 2] Yeah I do I find them quite interesting to watch I have watched quite a few.

[Speaker 1] Yeah me too I also like ones about space I find things like that fascinating.

[Speaker 2] I like to watch things like that as well its amazing what happens outside our tiny little world that we have no clue about what is going on.

[Speaker 1] Yes we are so safe here in our tiny bubble while chaos is going on out there.

[Speaker 2] Yeah you are right. Do you think their is other life out there?

I work at a fast food restaurant.

I have kids.

I like documentaries about space.

[Speaker 1] Do you watch documentaries about nature with your kids? The ones about animals in the wild are usually pretty good.

[Speaker 2] usually they are not interested in those shows. they prefer to watch comedys like you

[Speaker 1] There's a Netflix documentary series about animals that is narrated by a comedian. That maybe help get them into something more educational. Let me know I'll find the name for you.

[Speaker 2] ill search it, i´m sure if there is comedy they would love it

[Speaker 1] Do you have an recommendations I should check out?

[Speaker 2] sure, i´ve watch some comedy shows in Netflix, i liked Jimmy Car special the best

[Speaker 1] Nice, I'll give it a try.  I haven't been finding many shows or movies lately that I'm interested in.  I did watch a good true crime documentary on HBO Max about a young man investigating his mothers murder. Very sad but interesting.

[Speaker 2] Wow sounds great, dont dave HBO max but my friend has it, ill ask him to look for it. By the way, what was the name of the documentary about animals? i´d like my kids to watch it

[Speaker 1] It's called Absurd Planet. I wasn't able to get into myself but it would definitely appeal to kids.

[Speaker 2] thanks, hope they like it, Have you any prison show to recomend? i las saw  Making a Murderer, really loved it !!!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, check out Dream/Killer. It's about a young man who went to jail for a crime he didn't commit.  The lawyer who got him out is the same lawyer helping Steven Avery.

[Speaker 2] Ahhh sounds intresting, ´ll look for it. I recomend the epstein documentary. Maybe wou could watch it with a date, jajaj sounds wierd for a date, maybe some thig else !!

I work at a fast food restaurant.

I did not enjoy Absurd Planet. I enjoyed Dream/Killer.

I have kids.

I watch documentaries and true stories with my kids. I watch comedies with my kids. I like the movie Bronson. I like prison documentaries. My kids like comedies.I like documentaries about space.

I subscribe to Netflix. I do not have HBO Max.

I recommend the Jimmy Car special. I enjoyed making a Murderer.I recommend the Epstein documentary.

[Speaker 1] I watched some of your recommended shows

[Speaker 2] Oh which one did you watch first? Tell me please. I get excited when people check out my suggestions!

[Speaker 1] I watched the Jimmy Car special. It was great!

[Speaker 2] I'm so glad that you liked it! I watched it only once but I've thought about watching it again. Well if you tried one of mine, maybe I'll watch one of yours.

[Speaker 1] I'm glad I did too! Thank you for the recommendation. You definitely should watch one of my favorites! I feel so special when people take the time to watch my favorite shows and movies.

[Speaker 2] I was thinking about subscribing to HBO Max possibly. Do you think that it's worth getting right now?

[Speaker 1] Honestly, no, I do not think an HBO Max subscription is worth it. Maybe they have a free trial if you want to see if it's for you before you purchase it.

[Speaker 2] That's what I thought. I've not heard anything on there that grabs my attention. There was a movie or two but most of it doesn't seem worth the price of admission. I'll just stick to my Netflix for now. So which one of your shows should I check out?

[Speaker 1] I think you would like The Mitchells vs. the Machines. It is a comedy movie you can stream on Netflix. You can even watch it with your kids because it's rated PG!

[Speaker 2] Perfect! I like to watch anything that I can share with my kids. I'll make sure to see if I can find it. I'll even show them a trailer so they can see what it's like. Thanks for the recommendation!

[Speaker 1] Of course! I hope you enjoy it. Please let me know what you and your kids think once you watch.

[Speaker 2] I'm sure that they will like it. They love comedy movies almost as much as Horror movies. This one sounds like one that the whole family can enjoy.

I work at a fast food restaurant.

I have seen Bronson. I enjoyed Bronson. I watch netflix. I like documentaries about prison and space.I subscribe to HBO Max. I enjoy true crime documentaries. I do not like HBO Max.

I like the Jimmy Car special. I like The Mitchells vs. the Machines.

I have kids.

My childern like Horror movies and comedy movies.

[Speaker 1] I watched the Epstein documentary, which you recommended me severals days ago. It is great!

[Speaker 2] I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was so shocking! Have you watched Making a Murderer yet?

[Speaker 1] I have! True crime is so fascinating. What a whirling of a story. What did you think of it?

[Speaker 2] I got really into and continued to follow the story in the news. I can't believe that kid is still in jail! Do you have any other shows you recommend?

[Speaker 1] It's such a bizarre and insane story indeed. Truth is stranger than fiction. I did love dream/killer, anything scary always interests me.

[Speaker 2] Oooh, I'll have to check that out. My kids love horror so I watch it with them sometimes but it's not my favorite! Gives me nightmares!

[Speaker 1] Haha indeed. How about good comedy you've seen lately?

[Speaker 2] I've been showing the kids old Chris Farley movies. Tommy Boy is never not funny!

[Speaker 1] That's so great. How are your kids in general lately?

[Speaker 2] They're good - they are both almost done with high school and thinking about the future which is crazy! It goes so fast!

[Speaker 1] It's always strange watching how fast they grow. Now that my sister is married I wonder when I might get a little neice or nephew!

[Speaker 2] Babies are super fun and it's great watching them grow up. You're lucky to have your sister and brother in law close!

[Speaker 1] I just got an email from a producer at work and he has arraned for me to do work in Hawaii so I will see if i agree with you on that front!

[Speaker 2] It's a great place- especially for work! You will feel like you are on vacation. Make sure to check out some hiking spots. Do you have any activities in mind you'd like to do while visiting?

[Speaker 1] I might try surfing, you said you did scuba, did you really like that? I'm not trying to get stung by anything down there lol

[Speaker 2] Scuba diving is great there. The water is especially clear & there is more wildlife to admire. What's your favorite sea creature?

[Speaker 1] It's got to be whales, I find the sounds they make so majestic and they can get so incredibly big. I'm hoping to get some photos of some! What was the coolest animal you saw there?

[Speaker 2] Surprisingly I saw many octopus. They are hard to spot at first, but once you see one you see many. Also, you sometimes see eels. They look similar to my snakes.

[Speaker 1] Did seeing those eels remind you of your snakes back home? How big are they?

[Speaker 2] Yeah definitely, they are about the same length as my snakes usually 1 to 2 feet. Have you ever worked with snakes?

[Speaker 1] I have, they can both be beautiful and terrifying. It's wild seeing them just engulf a mouse whole

[Speaker 2] That's something that you have to get used to watching haha. You mentioned your an artist, do you like drawing animals or do you have other muses?

[Speaker 1] I mainly draw animals, but if a friend wants me to draw them I'd do it. It is always good to practice the human form

[Speaker 2] Now that I am separated from my wife, I've had more time to enjoy art. I love drawing my snakes while listening to music.

I enjoy travelling when in nature.

I am not married.

I like rock music.

My favorite sea creature is a whale. I take photos.

I have worked with snakes.

I am a US marine.

I have been to Hawaii 3 times.

I saw octopus and eels. I have 1 to 2 foot long snakes back home.

I enjoy art. I love drawing snakes while listening to music.

[Speaker 1] How long have you been certified to scuba dive?

[Speaker 2] For about 8 years now. It was one of the first things I did when I was first stationed in Hawaii. Have you been diving before?

[Speaker 1] Nope never but I am willing to try, but I want to pick up surfing first. Do you also surf?

[Speaker 2] I tried a few times but couldn't get the hang of it.  I like the peace and tranquility of diving.  There's no sound other than the heart beat of the ocean. When will you be moving?

[Speaker 1] At the end of this month. I am fully packed and counting days. That sound really peaceful. I might give me muse! Will you consider giving me a scuba diving lesson or two?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, definitely.  I'm on a short deployment out to sea but I'll be back at the end of August. We can make a plan then. The water will be much warmer by then as well.

[Speaker 1] Perfect! So how about your snake, who is taking care of it when you are on deployment?

[Speaker 2] I make the junior Marines back on base take care of them when I'm gone. Luckily they only need to eat once or twice a month so it's not a huge burden.

[Speaker 1] Yeah they are really laid back animals to look after. Maybe I can work with your snake and draw it to add my portfolio?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, you might want to take a picture and use that as your main reference because they don't always stay still.lol

[Speaker 1] Yeah that is what I do, no animal in general stands still and wait to be drawn. hahah. But I like to draw next to them, it gives me muse and more movement for the drawing.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like a plan. Do you draw realism or do you like more cartoon style?

I am a experienced professional artist. I work with animals.

I enjoy travelling when in nature.

I am not married.

I like rock music.

I will be working from Hawaii. I have email. I may go surfing. I have never been diving. I want to learn to surf.

I have worked with snakes.

I am moving at the end of the month.

I am a US marine.

I have been to Hawaii 3 times.

I own 2 snakes.

I am a certified scuba diver. I was in the military and stationed in Hawaii. I am still active military.

[Speaker 1] How was your deployment? Are you glad to be back home?.

[Speaker 2] It was very exhilarating. I have to be honest, I miss the action. While I love free time, it gets quite lonely. Do you have any recommendations on how I can spend the time?

[Speaker 1] You could always visit the beaches. They are beautiful. Maybe go for a dive since I know you like that.

[Speaker 2] I used to do a lot of diving while I was deployed too. Reminds me of being back in action. Lately, I've been making paint designs on shoes and hats. Have you been working on any projects?

[Speaker 1] I have been! I've been working on this great sea life drawing to promote this local company. I'm really happy with how it's coming along. What sort of designs have you been doing?

[Speaker 2] That sounds great. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help promote. I have been painting a lot of designs based off my favourite rock bands. I love Led Zeppelin. Who do you listen to?

[Speaker 1] Led Zeppelin is great, but I really like Metallica. Do you ever listen to them?

[Speaker 2] Yes! I love them too. We should start a rock band together haha. Might help me pass the time. Just kidding but we should seriously go surfing sometime! I want to get the hang of it.

[Speaker 1] Oh yes, I'd love to finally learn to surf! Maybe we can be surfing rockers ha ha. How hard do you think it will be to learn?

[Speaker 2] Considering how bad I am at surfing, likely impossible for me. But I'll cheer you on. I can teach you diving as well while we're at it. If we dive deep enough, we might be able to see some distant whales.

[Speaker 1] Oh I'd love to learn to dive and hopefully see some whales! What's your favorite thing about diving?

[Speaker 2] Seeing the sea creatures for sure. It is so beautiful underwater. It's like a whole new world. There are so many coral structures and interesting species that you don't learn about in school. I'm sure you'll love the experience. We can get you a waterproof go-pro so you can record your experience.

I enjoy travelling when in nature.

I am not married.

I have worked with snakes.

I draw animals. I would draw friends if they asked. I am working on a sea life drawing to promote a local business. I am happy with how it is coming along.

I am moving at the end of the month.

I think the beaches are beautiful.

I listen to rock music. I like Led Zeppelin. I love Metallica more.

I am a US marine.

I have been to Hawaii 3 times.

I own 2 snakes.

I had difficulty learning to surf. I prefer diving. I am really bad at surfing.

I have just returned home from being deployed. I miss having things to do. I get lonely at home.

I used to dive often while I was deployed. I have been painting shoes and hats recently.

I love Led Zeppelin. I paint designs based off rock bands I love. I love Metallica. I am learning to surf.

I love sea creatures. I think it's beautiful underwater.

[Speaker 1] I just finished the sea life drawing I've been working on.

[Speaker 2] That's great! I'd love to see it. Have you submitted it to the local business you mentioned?

[Speaker 1] I plan to call them tomorrow morning.  When I say I just finished I mean I JUST finished.  I'm exhausted but I'm too wired and excited to go to bed just yet.lol

[Speaker 2] Wow! That must be some work! I didn't realize art can be exhausting. Are you excited to move to a new place?

[Speaker 1] I'm excited for the change of scenery but I'm dreading packing.  I'm debating just paying someone to move for me.  I think it would make life less stressful.

[Speaker 2] Yes, that's a good idea. Just be mindful of your trash can. My mom once hired a mover and they also packed the trash can with the contents in it. It was dreadful!

[Speaker 1] Well that is something I never would have thought of.lol  I know a movers job is to move things but you would think a little common sense would kick in if only to save yourself from a bad review.

[Speaker 2] I know, right?! Even today, the image is still vivid. Can I show you my drawings and ask for your professional opinion?

[Speaker 1] Yeah of course.  What style are they?

[Speaker 2] I mainly use charcoal and pencils. Now I'm nervous! haha! But don't be soft on me. I just want to hear from a professional's point of view. Do you have a website where I can see your work?

[Speaker 1] I'm actually discussing details to have someone build me a fancy website to showcase and sell pieces.  I'll send you the link once it's all set.  And don't be nervous.  There's no right or wrong when it comes to art and it's always a work in progress regardless of who's making it.

[Speaker 2] Thank goodness! Now I feel much better. haha. Have you thought of other professions beside being an artist?


I am a vegan.

I love animals.

I used to be a veterinarian, but I quit to travel abroad.

I sing for a living.

I like to blog.

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 blog.

I used to be a vet.

I have travelled extensively.

I sing for a job.

I live on a beach with my parents.  I have 12 siblings.

I used to ride horses.

I will move to the country. I want a garden in the country. I want horses in the country.

[Speaker 1] I just finished writing a blog post, how are you doing?

[Speaker 2] Good. I am glad that I live on the beach with my mom and dad so that my dozen siblings have room.

[Speaker 1] Wow, that's a lot. Pets too? I love them. Used to work as a veterinarian.

[Speaker 2] I used to ride horses, loved it. Where were you a vet?

[Speaker 1] I worked at a local clinic, but quit so I could travel the world.

[Speaker 2] No traveling for me. Except to move to the country in the year.

[Speaker 1] Nice! I make my living singing now, which I can do from anywhere.

[Speaker 2] Good for you. What else do you do? Do you have any children?

[Speaker 1] No kids, but I am vegan! I write about vegan recipes on my blog.

[Speaker 2] When I move to the country, I hope to have a garden.

[Speaker 1] And animals? I'd love to live in the country and have lots of animals.

[Speaker 2] Horses. Do you have any pets?

I blog.

I used to be a vet.

I have travelled extensively.

I sing for a job.

I used to ride horses.

[Speaker 1] Tell me have you had any more ideas about what you will do when you move to the country?

[Speaker 2] I think the plan is to have a few animals, horses, sheep, goats, chickens and the garden. I also kind of want to try and build my own swimming pool in an old fashioned style not like the modern ones we see in peoples backyards!

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a life worth living. I would love to take care of your animals if they ever have an accident. I would definitely go for a swim in your pool too!

[Speaker 2] Wow that is such a kind offer! That would be so valuable to have your advice if I ever need help with them. I have been trying to put away money for any expenses that arise because vet bills are so costly. Thats another reason why I want to do the DIY pool. I want to make a clay and straw bed for the bottom of the pool and then tile it with stones. I saw someone do it on YouTube I think it will turn out awesome and be pretty easy!

[Speaker 1] I would hate for you to get swindled by a greedy vet! I think your pool idea will work well. It would probably be sturdier and easier to repair than a regular pool too.

[Speaker 2] Yeah that has happened a few times already with my dog who has diabetes! I learned my lesson- you have to trust the person that's caring for your animals 100%! I'm so excited to get out there though and start living my own life! You are most definitely welcome to come over any time by the way!

[Speaker 1] Good point. It's hard to find a good vet these days. Look at you, living your best life! I'll take you up on that offer! Haha your siblings might too.

[Speaker 2] Haha! They've already talked about moving in, but I told them to give me time! The whole point is to be independent a little first. Although I'll probably end up needing their help with all the work it will take to upkeep the animal pens!

[Speaker 1] It is a lot of work! Maybe you can cycle out siblings so you never get tired of them. I'm guessing that garden will be pretty big too.

[Speaker 2] Hahah! Thats a great idea! The garden will be I hope. I'm planning on doing a mix of outdoor and greenhouse so there will be a lot going on and plenty of space for many hands to work! I've gotten so wrapped up in myself I forgot to ask you how your singing gigs are going!

[Speaker 1] I've spent quite a few emotional nights in local bars but it panned out. I'm actually singing in a more reputable establishment this weekend!

[Speaker 2] Awe, I'm glad something new has come your way! Whats the first song you're going to sing?

I blog.

I used to be a vet.

I have travelled extensively.

I like taking care of animals. I enjoy swimming.

I used to ride horses.

I will move to the country. I want horses in the country. I want to have a garden that's partly outdoors and partly in a greenhouse. I also want to have different kinds of animals. I also want to build an old-fashioned swimming pool.

I am trying to save money for future vet bills. I had a dog who got diabetes. I had to be cautious to find him a good veterinarian. I have siblings who will be able to help me when I move to the country.

[Speaker 1] I have a good singing gig coming up this weekend--I'm very excited!

[Speaker 2] That sounds like a lot of fun! What genre of music do you plan on singing? Do you specialize in anything in particular? Because I love pop music.

[Speaker 1] No particular preference, but given my age, I would tend to go with anything from the Beatles to the 90s.

[Speaker 2] It's at a bar, so I wonder if you'll be drinking. I don't drink because I don't like alcohol. But do you like to drink?

[Speaker 1] Maybe the occasional beer or two, and I do like ales. But most of the time just to appease the bartenders when I work gigs at bars.

[Speaker 2] I understand. That's a good way to stay in their good graces. I like to make new friends, even if I'm working for them. How about you?

[Speaker 1] I admit that a friendly face to any support staff or bar workers goes a long way when setting up and taking down a gig! (And just as much with assistants in my vet days.)

[Speaker 2] Help is always good. I like to get my hands dirty with some real labor. That’s why I’m so interested in gardening. What kind of hobbies do you have besides swimming and taking care of animals?

[Speaker 1] Vegan food is my main remaining hobby! I remember this excellent blog I read about vegan Argentine food, in the land of steaks galore.

[Speaker 2] Vegan food sounds good. With my dog having diabetes, I have to be more health conscious for him. It makes me think I should do the same for myself, too. What kind of food do you recommend as a vegan?

[Speaker 1] I can recommend cuisines from India or (in some cases) Japan as a general template for what food to eat.

[Speaker 2] That sounds good. I like Japanese and Indian food. I also like Thai and Italian food. What’s your favorite type of food?

I blog.

I used to be a vet.

I have travelled extensively.

I have no children.  I am vegan. I blog about vegan recipes. I enjoy reading food blogs. I enjoy many different cuisines.

I have singing jobs in local bars. I'm working my way up to better venues. I am a paid singer.

I prefer older music.

I drink casually.

I used to be a veterinarian.

I used to ride horses.

I enjoy pop music.

I do not like alcohol. I like to make new friends.

I enjoy physical labor. I enjoy gardening.

[Speaker 1] Hey did you get to try any of those Asian vegan recipes we talked about?

[Speaker 2] I tried the Thai green curry but the curry overpowered the dish. I am looking to make my own Miso Udon this weekend.

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry it didn't work out. Miso Udon should be better. It's been known to have a milder flavor. I've also heard that Miso Udon is pretty healthy so that's good! Hope it turns out good. I think I'm going to make Thai green curry tonight

[Speaker 2] Awesome. Keep sending me the recipes and I will keep trying them out. I am hoping that I can grow enough of what I need from some of these when I own my own ranch in the future.

[Speaker 1] Oh that's awesome. Maybe you can lend me some herbs and vegetables in the future! What plants do you expect to grow on your ranch? A lot of Asian food is very diverse so it may be hard to grow everything you need for every Asian recipe.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I know. My favorite dish so far is the Garlic Broccoli stir fry so I will have most of that covered in my garden. As far as herbs, I am not sure. Thyme, Basil, Cilantro, etc.

[Speaker 1] Fresh basil is my favorite! It tastes so good and you can use it for so much. Garlic broccoli is very good though but I prefer my broccoli seared and sautéd. Do you have any experience growing these plants?

[Speaker 2] I have never tried the broccoli but my mom has although she likes to harvest early so she starts them indoors. She is going to teach me so I can gain so I can gain some experience. I have grown my own chickpeas for the first time this last year so that was exciting.

[Speaker 1] That sounds nice that your mother has experience! I cannot grow anything at all. I seem to kill everything I grow. Where do you live? Will there be enough rain and sun to grow plants?

[Speaker 2] I live in Florida right now so we have plenty of rain and sun but I can not wait to move to someplace more rustic and remote.

[Speaker 1] Florida is so nice, I love it there! Where do you want to move? Florida is sometimes not the best for agriculture, I know

[Speaker 2] Tell me about it. Almost all of our garden is regulated greenhouse growth. As far as where I will end up I think I have my heart set on Montana.

I blog.

I used to be a vet.

I have travelled extensively.

I prefer older music.

I drink casually.

I used to be a veterinarian.

I make vegan Asian recipes. I am making Thai green curry tonight. I love fresh basil. I like garlic broccoli but prefer broccoli seared and sautéed.

I am not good at growing plants.

I love Florida.

I used to ride horses.

I enjoy pop music.

I am not currently vegan. I like many different cuisines. I have made Thai green curry. I am going to make Miso Udon this weekend.

I am going to own a ranch in the future where I will grow food. I am going to try more vegan Asian recipes.

My favorite vegan Asian dish is Garlic Broccoli stir fry. I don't know what herbs I will grow in the future beyond thyme, basil, and cilantro.

My mom grows broccoli and harvests it early. I am going to learn to grow food from my mom. I grew my own chickpeas for the first time last year.

I live in Florida where there is a lot of rain and sun but I am planning to move somewhere more remote.

Most of my garden is greenhouse growth. I want to move to Montana.

[Speaker 1] How did the miso udon turn out?

[Speaker 2] It went well thank you but i think i will stick to more simple Asian  recipes in future, just for prioritising time over building the swimming pool.  Busy Busy bee these days.  How your love of the Asian recipes going?

[Speaker 1] It's going great! I'm thinking of trying some different stuff though, now that it's summer and barbeque season I'm considering some vegan bbq recipes. I made some great baked beans the other day, and corn on the cob on the grill. Do you ever bbq?

[Speaker 2] BBQ is so fresh and it feels so good eating out doors.  I am lucky i have lots of space here and can throw in my moms broccoli to toast that a little.  You keeping up your blogs i pop in on you every so often need to do that more though.

[Speaker 1] I know, I try but there's so much to do this summer that I almost feel bad just sitting down and internetting/blogging, you know? I'll try to keep it up better. Maybe I'll put some of the bbq recipes I develop up on it.

[Speaker 2] Yes please do, i am always inspired.  I am sure you are very busy with your singing career.  I will have to get you over this way so i can BBQ and you bring your PA system and sign for your supper. Once ive build the swimming pool on a nice day we can do a few lanes. You got may gigs lined up at all?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I'm going to be singing at a local Irish Pub-type place on weekends for the rest of the summer. I'm going to be doing some Classic rock, some Irish songs, and some folky stuff. Not all on the same night though! Haha, what will your neighbors think if you've got the PA system set up and someone singing in the backyard? I hope they're pretty laid-back!

[Speaker 2] That sounds amazing, well done you hun!!  The Irish bars keep pulling in the punters for the music.  They will apricate you greatly.  As i say im lucky to have the space here but i am still looking else where so i can set up my dream ranch for the horses.  You must sent me the link if you are putting your music out on the web.  super stuff hun!!

[Speaker 1] I'm thinking about setting up a site on...what is it, SoundCloud? to market my music but if I'm going to do that I might want to get an agent first. Definitely let me know when you have the ranch and horses set up, I love horseback riding!

[Speaker 2] You could be your own boss initially as agents aren't cheap.  Some of these sound clouds are free or with a subscription.  Worth a look, get your name out there hun.  Yes i will definitely keep you posted on the move to Montana fingers crossed.  Living the dream then with my horses and veg and lots of other animals to keep me sustained.

[Speaker 1] I hear Montana is great for ranching. Lots of celebrities moving there and to Wyoming to get away from the cities! It gets pretty cold there in the winters, are you ready for that?

[Speaker 2] I grow up early on in a cold of the north of England but will put some extra layers on for sure.  It will take some getting use to but with the work that needs doing with the animal daily i will be kept busy and warm lol.  You enjoy the singing career and i hope to see and hear you soon with your ongoing talent
