My name is mark.
I'm an alcoholic.
My dad was an alcoholic too.
Now I'm a mechanic.
I've got a baby on the way.

I like to hike.

I don't have kids. I have a neighbor named John.

I don't like to drink.

I have a job.

I don't like going outdoors. I like to stay at home.

I am about to be a dad.

[Speaker 1] Peace! How are you?

[Speaker 2] Hi I'm ok getting ready for work you?

[Speaker 1] Putting on my hiking boots and heading into the woods. You like to hike?

[Speaker 2] Not really I prefer to stay home and drink. Do u have kids?

[Speaker 1] I am waiting for my neighbor john to decide he wants to make babies with me.

[Speaker 2] Haha I see I will be a dad soon.

[Speaker 1] I hope we make a beautiful world of equal opportunity for your kid.

[Speaker 2] Hopefully. I work in a garage what do u do for work?

[Speaker 1] I quit my job becasue my boss was mean. I hate mean people.

[Speaker 2] Do u like to drink? It runs in my family.

[Speaker 1] Not much. It makes people mean, and I'm not mean.

[Speaker 2] True some people do get mean.

[Speaker 1] Do you have hobbies other than drinking, I mean.

[Speaker 2] Besides working on cars not many how bout u?

I like to hike.

I don't like to drink.

I have a job.

I am about to be a dad.

[Speaker 1] Did you work on any cool cars today?

[Speaker 2] Not today! I mostly worked on Toyotas this week. But I do have a vintage Ferrari coming in next week.

[Speaker 1] that sounds sweet. I wished I was mechanically inclined and could work on cars. That would be a nice job to have.

[Speaker 2] I could definitely give you pointers here and there! Honestly, just knowing how to change your oil, take care of tires, and refill your fluids goes a long way.

[Speaker 1] My neighbor John changes my oil. That tells you how much I know about cars.

[Speaker 2] John seems like a great guy! Do you guys ever hang out?

[Speaker 1] not really, he has kids and I don't. So we have nothing really to do together.

[Speaker 2] Well, I'm sure if he ever gets a free moment you guys could go out for tacos or a hike or something. Have you hiked anywhere cool recently?

[Speaker 1] just local trails. So how are you feeling about being a new Dad?

[Speaker 2] I'm both super scared and super psyched at the same time. Everything is about to change and I have no idea what to expect

[Speaker 1] I imaging it changes a lot. But you'll be fine because father instincts will kick in.

[Speaker 2] I certainly hope so. All the diapers will be worth it when I can teach how to do all the things I enjoy!

I like to hike.

I don't have a job right now. I quit my previous job. I wish I could work with cars.

I don't like to drink.

I have a job.

I am about to be a dad.

I work in a garage. I like to work on cars. I know a lot about cars.

[Speaker 1] I remember you mentioning you might like tacos. Would you want to grab some tonight and we could talk about cars? I am interested in that field of work!

[Speaker 2] Hey I would be glad to. Just come over and we can go to that new place. Tacos and cars, sounds like a new Youtube show, lol

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I'm sure it'll be a blast! What's your favorite kind of taco?

[Speaker 2] I discovered a new ingredient for tacos, fruit. I like putting a slices of apple or kiwi in it. You have the sweetness and the spiciness together.

[Speaker 1] You are a madman! But that might just be crazy enough to work. Have you ever tried to order tacos in a restaurant like that?

[Speaker 2] no I haven't. I do not think many restaurants have apples or kiwis in the first place. I feel like I created a new taco.

[Speaker 1] I can't imagine the look on their faces if you tried to order that. I think we should do it just for the laugh. But I'd be happy to try them at your place some time too.

[Speaker 2] i would be happy to cook them for you. You know this would be great food for kids. I cannot wait until i cook one for mine.

[Speaker 1] Haha, well I guess I'll find out when I try them. Hey, this just now came to me. But do you mind if I invite my neighbor, John, too? He's also pretty interested in cars and he really likes experimenting with food too. I think he'd be a good addition.

[Speaker 2] well that would be rough on my pregnant wife to have others over. It would probably best to wait. Maybe you two can come down to my garage and can show you first hand on how to work on cars.

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I meant for the trip to the taco place. We wouldn't want to impose on you at home with all that you have going on there right now.

[Speaker 2] oh the trip he is glad to come. He can buy the beer, I mean he can buy me a beer and you a coke.

I like to hike.

I don't like to drink.

I am interested in learning about working on cars as a field of work.

I have a job.

I am about to be a dad.

I like tacos. I have started to put fruit in my tacos, like apples and kiwi.

I think adding fruit to tacos is a new recipe. I have not tried ordering it at a restaurant.

I want to make tacos for my kids.

I have a pregnant wife who does not want too many visitors. I am willing to have people come to my garage.

[Speaker 1] When do you think your wife will have the baby?

[Speaker 2] She's due the end of July. We have a bet going on the actual date. I guessed July 20th. Her due date is the 23rd

[Speaker 1] Oh, that's so soon! Do you know the gender, or are you waiting to be surprised?

[Speaker 2] It's a boy.  We didn't want to do one of those crazy gender reveals that burns down a whole forest. We just asked the doctor.lol

[Speaker 1] Lol, yeah, that was probably smart of you. Do you have a name picked out for him yet?

[Speaker 2] Yes, his name is Greyson. I'm excited but super nervous.

[Speaker 1] That's a great name! I don't have any kids myself, so I can't give a lot of advice, but I know you don't have to be nervous. Your kid's gonna love you!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I'm not looking forward to the lack of sleep though. That turns me into a baby and there's only room for one of us. Do you want kids someday?

[Speaker 1] I know the lack of sleep thing can be a big pain for new parents, but it'll all be worth it. I might want kids, it just depends if I find the right person to have them with

[Speaker 2] Yeah, the right person makes all the difference.  Any luck with the job hunt?

[Speaker 1] Nothing yet. I'm going from garage to garage trying to find work, but it seems like word got out around here that I up and quit my last job, so no one wants to hire me. I might have to go elsewhere to find work

[Speaker 2] Maybe you can start doing side jobs and save up to start your own shop and build from there.

I like to hike.

I have a neighbor named John.

I don't have a job right now. I quit my previous job and that's making it harder for me to get hired. I wish I could work with cars.

I don't like to drink.

I don't have any kids. I'm not sure if I want kids someday. I haven't met the right person yet to have kids with.

I'm looking for a job in a garage. I'm considering moving to find work somewhere else.

I am about to be a dad.

I want to make tacos for my kids.

I have a pregnant wife who does not want too many visitors. We are due to have the baby at the end of July. We have a bet on the actual date she gives birth. I am willing to have people come to my garage.

My wife and I are having a baby boy. We asked the doctor to tell us the gender. We are going to name our son Greyson. I'm excited but nervous about having a baby. I'm worried about the lack of sleep after the baby comes.

[Speaker 1] I know I said I didn't have any advice about having a baby, but my sister has a six month old, and she said she'd be willing to talk to you about what she's learned, if you want!

[Speaker 2] That would be great, I will take any advice I can get. You can have your sister call me whenever she is available!

[Speaker 1] Well, she is pretty busy during the week, so does the weekend work for you?

[Speaker 2] Yes that is fine, my weekdays are pretty busy too! Have you had any luck finding a job?

[Speaker 1] I have been struggling to find a job, but I do have a job fair coming up this weekend.

[Speaker 2] Awesome, do you know what type of job you are looking for?

[Speaker 1] Well, I was looking at getting a job in information security. Do you have any advice?

[Speaker 2] If you have a list of companies that will be at the job fair, I would research each of them and what they do so you know exactly which companies you want to talk to.

[Speaker 1] Yes, that is a great idea. I hope there is a big list, it can be so tough to find a decent job.

[Speaker 2] I agree, finding a company that is right fit for you can also be a challenge. Are you practicing your interview skills? Sometimes they will interview right on the spot.

[Speaker 1] I have been watching some youtube videos on interviewing tips. I sure hope they help!

[Speaker 2] Just keep practicing and you will do great!

I was a B student. I practiced karate. I am a lifeguard. I am athletic.

I want to propose to my girlfriend. I met my girlfriend at a movie theater.

Track is my favorite sport, I won my last track meet.

I have a good mind and am a hard working student.

[Speaker 1] Hi there do you like sports.

[Speaker 2] Oh yes. Track is my favorite. As a matter of fact I won my race at our last meet.

[Speaker 1] Nice I was captain of my high school football team.

[Speaker 2] How are your grades? I know that sports and study make difficult companions.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I was a b student luckily but practicing karate helped me keep my mind focused.

[Speaker 2] I have been luckily blessed with a good mind and through hard work been an a student.

[Speaker 1] Well my girlfriend got me a job as a lifeguard since I am athletically inclined.

[Speaker 2] Sounds like you are quite the athlete.

[Speaker 1] Well thank you I wanna propose on the beach to her next week.

[Speaker 2] Maybe you could setup something at a lifeguard station with candles and such. That would be unique.

[Speaker 1] Well I plan on having a projector play her favorite horror movie on the back of one.

[Speaker 2] That's quite a girl who would want to get engaged during a horror movie!

[Speaker 1] We met when she was working at the movie theater and only the classic ones.

[Speaker 2] Maybe you could play the first horror movie you both saw together.

[Speaker 1] I had an idea for my proposal, can I run it by you?

[Speaker 2] sure!  what's the plan?

[Speaker 1] I am going to take my girlfriend to a movie at the theater we first met at. I am going to hide the ring in a bucket of popcorn. She will find the ring in the bucket and I will get down on one knee and propose. What do you think?

[Speaker 2] That sounds great! is the ring going to be in a box, or loos in the bucket  I dont want her to eat it by mistake.

[Speaker 1] LOL. I guess you are right! I should put the ring in a box. I guess that's why you are a good student and I am only getting Bs!

[Speaker 2] It still a great plan!  What movie are you thinking of or can you get them to play a specific movie

[Speaker 1] Something romantic but also funny! She can't stand anything too sappy. Do you have any suggestions?

[Speaker 2] 50 first dates or the weeding singer.  Both of those are good choices.  Or Lord of the rings because of the ring

[Speaker 1] Maybe I should go back to my original plan of proposing on the beach. I wonder if I can set up a projector and watch a movie there. Those are great suggestions. I knew you'd have good ideas, Smartypants!

[Speaker 2] A beach proposal sounds good too!  What beach?

I want to propose to my girlfriend at the movie theatre. I met my girlfriend at a movie theater. My girlfriend does not like sappy movies. I originally planned on proposing at the beach.

I liked "50 First Dates" and "Wedding Singer".

[Speaker 1] What courses are your favorites? Have you come across anything especially interesting since we last talked?

[Speaker 2] i think english is my favorite course! i love reading and writing. I came across this great book the other week. I haven't finished yet, but it's really good so far!

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, I'm not much of a reader, more of a movie guy. What kind of book is it? You think I'd like it?

[Speaker 2] it's a fiction book. it's going a bit viral on social media lately, it's meant to be quite emotional. maybe they'll make it a movie soon! i think you'd like it

[Speaker 1] Oh if it's a viral book there is definitely a movie deal in the works. When it comes out we can go see it and you can tell me how much better the book was.

[Speaker 2] haha, deal. there is a part of me that doesn't like when books turn into movies. it never really lives up to the original body of work. but maybe that's the hipster in me talking

[Speaker 1] I hear that a lot, I actually read the harry potter books and I would have to agree. The books are much better, but if they put that much detail into the movie it would be so long!

[Speaker 2] true! those movies are long enough as is. i love the harry potter franchise though. i was so glad when they opened harry potter world at Universal Studios!

[Speaker 1] You've been? I've always wanted to go, but have never had the time or money! How was it? Did you buy a wand?

[Speaker 2] i've been many times, since I live near the park and used to have an annual pass. it's so much fun! i did buy a wand, actually. it's probably a lot more fun if you're a kid, since you can play along with some of the workers there, but it's still cool to go as an adult too

[Speaker 1] Oh it's got to be cool, you are so lucky you live so close. I got to think about hotels and food and stuff, man I am jealous

[Speaker 2] yeah that can be tough, i had to do the same thing when I went to visit Disneyworld in Orlando. it was so expensive!

I am not a reader. I like movies.

I read the Harry Potter books. I think the books are better than the movies.

I have not had the time or money to go to Universal Studies.

English is my favorite class. I love to read and write. I am reading a fiction book that is viral on social media.

I sometimes do not like when books are made into movies.

I think the Harry Potter movies are long. I like the franchise.

I live near universal. I have a pass. I have a wand. I have been to Disneyworld in Orlando.

[Speaker 1] I have made a final decision on an engagement ring for my girlfriend.

[Speaker 2] Oh my goodness! That is such great news! What color is the ring? White gold?

[Speaker 1] So I told her sister about the proposal, and she actually shared her "Pinterest" board with me. I didn't even know that was a thing! But she had pictures of her dream rings, so that helped a lot. It is a solitaire on a yellow band, but with little diamonds on the band.

[Speaker 2] oh great! I am glad you were able to find the style that she wanted. When do you plan on proposing?

[Speaker 1] Well the ring is being custom made, so I need to wait for that. It might be a couple of months. I think she has a feeling I will propose over the Christmas holidays for some reason, so she will be really surprised.

[Speaker 2] That is the best time of year to propose! I really hope that you can keep it a secret!

[Speaker 1] I know, me too. It will be so hard! Oh by the way, we have decided to save up to go on a trip to Universal Studios!

[Speaker 2] That will be such an amazing trip! Have you ever before?

[Speaker 1] Never! I am really excited. I might have to get another part time job to save up haha, but it will be worth it! It will be nice to go on a fun trip before we get into the craziness of getting married, getting a house, having kids...am I getting ahead of myself? lol

[Speaker 2] I think you will have such a great experience! They have such great rides and food. The cost is worth it for sure.

[Speaker 1] Yes, I will need to get all of the recommendations from you. What is the best food you had there?

[Speaker 2] The have massive footlong corn dogs! You have to try them! Write it down so you don't forget.

I am not a reader. I like movies.

I just chose the engagement ring.vMy sister gave me advice about choosing a ring. I'm getting my girlfriend a solitaire on a yellow band with diamonds. My engagement ring will take a couple of months to make. I am hoping to propose during the Christmas holidays.

I think it will be hard to keep the proposal a secret from my girlfriend. I'm saving up to go to Universal Studios with my girlfriend. I've never been to Universal Studios.

I love Universal Studios. I like the rides and food. My favorite food at Universal Studios was the footlong corn dogs.

[Speaker 1] I officially put in the order and paid a deposit for the ring!

[Speaker 2] Congratulations! That is a big step. Have you thought about what kind of movie you would like to be seeing when you propose?

[Speaker 1] Actually, I was thinking of proposing at Universal Studios, but I'm not sure I can find a quiet enough spot. Do you think that would work?

[Speaker 2] I think that would be a great idea. You're right, it might be hard to find a quiet spot. Has your girlfriend ever been to Universal Studios?

[Speaker 1] No, it will be the first time for the both of us. It should be pretty magical. I thought maybe I could propose will on a ride! Does that seem too crazy?

[Speaker 2] That would be lots of fun! Just be sure not to drop the ring! Maybe you could figure out what your girlfriend's favorite ride is and propose on that one?

[Speaker 1] I could try, but she's never been there so I don't think she has a favorite ride yet. Do you have a favorite one? Maybe you could recommend something.

[Speaker 2] I really like the Harry Potter rides. Proposing in the Harry Potter area might add something extra magical to the moment if your girlfriend likes Harry Potter too.

[Speaker 1] That's a good idea. She does like Harry Potter! Or maybe I could propose while we're eating foot-long corndogs, haha. Those are your favorite, right?

[Speaker 2] They are! They aren't the most romantic food but they're really tasty. Or you could do it while you guys are drinking Butterbeer, which is another one of my favorites.

[Speaker 1] I've never had butterbeer. That's an interesting idea. Does butterbeer taste more like butter or beer?

[Speaker 2] Fortunately neither, haha. I think it tastes like butterscotch. If you propose at Universal Studios, do you think you'll go back there for your honeymoon, too?

[Speaker 2] Sounds great! I am off to college in a bit. Full schedule and then summer classes too.

[Speaker 1] Awesome I am a computer genius and love reading.

[Speaker 2] Wow. Impressive. I am into martial arts. Jiu-jitsu. I instruct that.

[Speaker 1] I eat lots of meats plants to healthy.

[Speaker 2] That is healthy. I stay away from dairy. I am allergic.

[Speaker 1] How was class today? What are you studying?

[Speaker 2] Class was the same as usual. I'm studying English and hope to write books about Jiu-jitsu and martial arts!

[Speaker 1] That's great to hear your class went ok. That sounds very intriguing! Remember me when you make it big and famous!

[Speaker 2] Haha I'll send you a signed copy of my first book! You'll probably make it famous in tech before me!

[Speaker 1] I'd love that! Thank you. Haha, who knows maybe we can both make it big and help each other out somehow.

[Speaker 2] I just thought of an even better idea. You make the website and I'll do the writing!

[Speaker 1] It sounds like we have a business plan made up already!

[Speaker 2] How serious are you about this? We might have to meet up to talk this over!

[Speaker 1] I'm down if you are! They always say that two heads are better than one.

[Speaker 2] I'm so excited! Let's meet on the weekend somewhere in the city!

[Speaker 1] Ok! How about on Sunday afternoon? We can make a start up plan on paper.

[Speaker 2] That works with me! We can go for a bike ride too!

I live in New York.

I like to go bike riding.

[Speaker 1] I just wrote a new computer program that might help you with your writing.

[Speaker 2] oh really? what does it do?

[Speaker 1] It helps find grammatical errors and gives suggestions to help elaborate your sentence structure.  It also can tell you if you have used the same word too many times and gives suggestions for alternatives.

[Speaker 2] oh wow. that sounds really awesome. when can I try it out?

[Speaker 1] It's not finished yet, but I'll send you a link so that you can do a beta test on it in the next couple weeks.  Have you decided what you want to write about?  It would be awesome if you could try it with both academic and "for fun" pieces.

[Speaker 2] I haven't thought it out too much yet. having a bit of writers block. just know that I want to write something.

[Speaker 1] Anything you need to write about for your classes?

[Speaker 2] not currently. I'm sure that will change here soon.

[Speaker 1] I've been reading this really neat fiction series lately.  Do you enjoy writing fiction or non fiction more?

[Speaker 2] I like fiction. it's more fun.

[Speaker 1] Have you written any fiction lately that you could expand on?  Maybe come up with a series instead of just a one off type of thing?

[Speaker 2] that's a good idea. I'll have to think about it more to see what I can come up with.

I like to bike.

I eat healthy.

I live in New York.

I work in tech. I write computer programs.

The computer program I wrote is good for grammar and editing. I will finish the program in the next couple of weeks.

I am reading fiction.

I'm allergic to dairy.

I like coconut.

I live in New York.

I like to go bike riding.

I have writer's block. I am unsure about what to write.

I have classes.

I think writing fiction is fun. I think writing non-fiction is less fun.

[Speaker 1] I am working on tailoring the program to non-fiction for you.

[Speaker 2] That would be great!  I use grammarly now, but it's so expensive. I'd love to test the program for you!

[Speaker 1] Oh, yeah. Those programs try to lure you in with a simple version then charge you for the better features. Any specific fiction genre you write?

[Speaker 2] I enjoy suspense/psychological thrillers.  It's emotionally grabbing, even when writing it.  Right now though I'm so blocked. It feels like every good idea in the world has already been written.

[Speaker 1] I could see that. Hopefully the block goes away soon. Great that you're studying English. Maybe kick some ideas around with your classmates?

[Speaker 2] I do meet with some in an outside group.  What usually helps me though is to write non-fiction for a while.  It's tedious and not nearly as much fun, but just the process of writing sometimes gets me kick-started.  Plus it helps pay the bills.

[Speaker 1] Paying the bills is important. Countless movies have started with "based on actual events." Maybe just think about how different something could have ended had a few things been different, kind of like an alternate universe.

[Speaker 2] Exactly.  Sometimes when I'm researching for a non-fiction piece, I stumble across something that makes me think like that, and then I get out of my rut.  Sounds like you now a bit about writing yourself!

[Speaker 1] My hat's off to you creative types. Yeah, reading fiction can be a nice break from all the programming and can help deal with my own blocks. Also helps me think of what issues writers might encounter.

[Speaker 2] Yes, that's what I was thinking. You couldn't write software like that without some idea of what the writing process is like, and what writers need.  I'm looking forward to you finishing the program so it can be tested!

[Speaker 1] Ha ha, so am I! Maybe I should attend your writing group one of these days. Nothing drives me nuts like bad grammar.

[Speaker 2] You know, that might be a good idea!  You could also probably get more ideas about what bells and whistles can be added to your software for greater utility!

I like to bike.

I eat healthy.

I live in New York.

I am reading fiction.

I'm allergic to dairy.

I like coconut.

I live in New York.

I like to go bike riding.

I have classes.

I use grammarly. I write suspense/psychological thrillers. I write non-fiction to help with my fiction writing.

I can't wait to test the program.

[Speaker 1] I have been working on the program and it's ready for testing.

[Speaker 2] Awesome! When do you plan to test the program?

[Speaker 1] I need to send it out to a number of people to test and give feedback.  I'm pretty confident in it though.  I'll send you the link and you can start using it and give me any feedback you have.

[Speaker 2] Oh absolutely, I would love to help with that! This could be a really useful tool for my writing!

[Speaker 1] You might find it interesting to apply it to old writing you've done and see if you agree with the corrections and suggestions.

[Speaker 2] That could be interesting. Do you have other friends that are writers who you will be sending the program to?

[Speaker 1] Not fiction writers or journalists or anything like that.  Most of my friends do technical writing.  That's why your input will be very valuable, since you write different types of prose than most of the people who will be helping me with testing.

[Speaker 2] Okay, I will be sure to review it thoroughly. You must be excited now that you are to the testing phase.

[Speaker 1] Yes, that's always a good feeling, although there's still usually a lot of work to do to iron out the bugs.  It's sort of anticlimactic in ways, but still definitely a meaningful step.  Are you having any luck with your writing block?

[Speaker 2] Now, but I am going camping this weekend so I am hoping I will feel inspired after a weekend of being unplugged.

[Speaker 1] Oh, that sounds fun.  I'd love to get out of the city soon but probably won't.  Are you going far from home?

[Speaker 2] I am going about two hours away so it isn't too far but still far enough that I can disconnect. Are you able to bring your work with you when you travel?

[Speaker 2] Pretty goof! It's actually harder to separate home from work now, and there's a noise problem, but okay otherwise. Have you been out fishing yet this spring?

[Speaker 1] Yeah I think there are probably pros and cons of working from home but I'm glad it's going well! I try to get out a few times a week but it's been kind of cold here in New York. Hoping to go twice this weekend! Wishing I was where you are in Florida - have you been fishing lately?

[Speaker 2] Yes, got into a huge school of trevalley and also a good sized marlin! I was surprised to get to do saltwater this early but guide prices are cheap this year

[Speaker 1] That's awesome! How is the wedding planning going?

[Speaker 2] Arrrgh--her mother has taken over and is making a much bigger deal than it needs to be. How's your new truck doing?

[Speaker 1] Haha I know how that goes. Mother in laws are always a challenge. The truck is running like a dream. I'm so glad I upgraded and don't have to worry about it breaking down all the time now.

[Speaker 2] What features does it have?

[Speaker 1] It's a 2021 Ram 1500 with a v-6 engine. It's great because I can tow my boat with ease and the cargo bed is huge. It's got all the bells and whistles pretty much.

[Speaker 2] Wow! I am really envious. That would pull my bass boat much easier than my beat-up old Ranger

[Speaker 1] Maybe you'll get enough money from your wedding to buy a new truck! Haha if the wife allows.

[Speaker 2] I'm paying for the wedding -- if I come within three grand of breaking even I'll be lucky :)

I like fishing. I fish  for Tuna. I think  Florida is nice. I fish a few times per week.

I can cook lasagna.

I love my new truck. my new truck is a 2021 RAM 1500. i also have a boat.

I am going to start working from home. I work in a home office. it is noisy.

Drives a Hyundai Elantra and likes it.

I am getting married. I have previously been married. I am paying for my own wedding.

I love fishing. I also go fishing for trevalley and marlin.

my mother in law is aggravating me.

I have an old ranger and a bass boat.

[Speaker 1] How is the wedding planning? I hope the mother in law has calmed down a little bit?

[Speaker 2] Nope, not even a little, might have gotten worse. She cant seem to get over that I have been divorced. She feels I am going to do the same thing to her child

[Speaker 1] Wow. That's terrible man, I'm sorry. Maybe take the mother-in-law out for a day? Just the two of you, and talk.

[Speaker 2] I don't know if I can handle that. I've had my fiance try to talk to her and that hasn't worked. Maybe I can take her to a nice dinner where we will be around people and she cant act up as much

[Speaker 1] Good idea. I'd try going just the two of you though. Make her see that your'e not going to hurt her child. Maybe see if she wants to go fishing with you? Longer trip, but maybe spending the day together will get her to relax. Who knows, you might become good friends.

[Speaker 2] But here's the thing, I didn't think anything bad would happen with my prior marriage either. We can't control the future. That's part of the problem. I won't guarantee anything

[Speaker 1] One thing you can guarantee though is how you feel for now, right?

[Speaker 2] Exactly and I'm deeply in love, but all she can bring up is the divorce. I've talked about that extensively with my fiancé and we are solid. I don't get why her mother can't just accept us

[Speaker 1] Well, I guess we can't please everyone. You tried, and that's all that matters. We can change the topic though if you'd like. Did you see the game yesterday? Red's did it again!

[Speaker 2] Oh you know how I love to talk about my Reds! I think we actually have a chance this year...not to win it all, but at least get to the playoffs. Baby steps

[Speaker 1] Yep, I think we have a fighting chance. I'm looking forward to the playoffs.

[Speaker 2] We have got to catch a game together sometime. It's been too long

I can cook lasagna.

I watch the Red's game yesterday.

I'm looking forward to the playoffs.

I enjoy talking about the Reds.

[Speaker 1] Did you work things out with the mother-in-law yet?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, I think I just have to get used to the fact that in-laws are tough! Hopefully it does not last too long. How was the game yesterday?

[Speaker 1] It was a close one, but our Reds lost. I have a good feeling about them this year in the playoffs though. Thankfully they already clinched a spot

[Speaker 2] How did you get to become a fan of the Reds, since you live in New York?

[Speaker 1] I live in New York now, but I was born in Ohio. There was Reds stuff all over the house!

[Speaker 2] Oh I see, got it! How do you like living in New York compared to how you grew up? I imagine it must be a huge change. Are you able to find time to go fishing or drive your truck out in New York?

[Speaker 1] It's not so bad. It can get a bit colder but I love it. Many people think of the big city when they think of new york, but I live in a pretty rural area. I am able to go fishing from time to time so it is nice. Speaking of fishing, how is your bass boat holding up?

[Speaker 2] Its doing fine, but to be honest I haven't used it much lately. My wedding planning and office work has eaten up a bunch of my time. I'm hoping to move into a more rural area after getting married and spend way more time in nature. You're lucky you found a cool spot like that!

[Speaker 1] That is right! You must be so busy planning the wedding. I am so excited to come!

[Speaker 2] Haha, I hope it goes smoothly. I never know with my mother in law. She loves to create drama at every gathering. You'll see what I mean when you meet her!

[Speaker 1] I can only imagine when we all have had something to drink. Sounds like it is going to be a lot of fun! Have you gone cake tasting yet? I cannot wait to do that someday.

[Speaker 2] Yes, but i've gone pretty simple on all the food and decor! It's kind of hard to go all out since I'm paying for all of it myself. Who knew how expensive weddings are! Have you gotten married before, or do you plan to?

I am fan of the Reds. I feel good about the Reds in the playoffs this year. I live in New York. I was born in Ohio.

I can cook lasagna.

I'm looking forward to the playoffs.

I live in a rural area of New York. I like to fish.

I am spending a lot of time planning my wedding and working. I  hope to move to a rural area. I'm keeping my wedding plans simple and inexpensive.

[Speaker 1] I won second place in a fishing tournament.

[Speaker 2] Really? how did you get the winning catch? or are fishing torunaments won by group weight. It does sound like alot of fun on the lake though.

[Speaker 1] We had an hour to catch as many tuna as possible and then the winner was decided based on the combined weight of all of our catches.  It was a lot of fun!

[Speaker 2] What a catch of a day! I'm sure the wind is great out on the ocean, but boy if I could catch Tuna in a lake I sure would. I haven't even been able to make it out on the office this week, spent the time reminiscing about past catches... both on and off the lake!

[Speaker 1] You need to get out of the office!  Maybe ask for some time off.  Work is important but you need to make time for yourself too.

[Speaker 2] I feel that, but between the in-laws and the wedding? I'm screwed. Not only did I have to use my PTO for getting off for this thing, but since I'm paying for it myself I'll be back in no time. Hopefully switching jobs will help but I wont make it if I strangle my mother in law in the process XD

[Speaker 1] That is tough haha.  Has she been doing anything else to aggravate you lately?

[Speaker 2] Oh shes just been on the old nerves because of the wedding. I want something simple, like a gazebo by the lake and some friends. But she wants all the elegance of a ballroom and all the pompus BS that comes with it. I'm a simple man! I don't go around Florida fishing for Bass and Marlin because it's.... elegant.

[Speaker 1] That's so frustrating! What has your fiance said about it?

[Speaker 2] Oh and my wife is so sweet but hates confrontation! She might as well had been in a bomb shelter for this whole thing. I swear if she wasn't just the, best, person a bass fisherman like me could have, I would just walk into the swamp away from all of this. Unless there was a Reds game man those Reds. They'll probably go all the way this year, maybe not. I'm a fair weather fan really, life's too short to root for a bad team.

[Speaker 1] She'll have to stick up for you unless she wants her mom to hate you!  I hope they do go all the way.  If not, I can just root for the Yankees or the Mets.

[Speaker 2] That's what I'm talking about! Maybe I'll just take them all out fishing, I mean, how better to solve all of our problems. I me no worries though, I am getting the heck out of here as soon as were married. I mean, if I can work from home? Maybe I'll convince her to move with me to one of those remote American territories. Oh the fish I would catch in the middle of the Pacific.


I just colored my hair blue.

I bought a new dress for the easter weekend.

I will be going out of town for spring break.

I have a new car that my mom gave me.

I turn 29 years next week.

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 am turning 29 soon.

I am going to the beach this spring break.

My mom bought me a new car.

I am 97. I am a vegan.

I am going to hunt animals and eat them this spring break.

I change between being vegan and not second to second.

My mom bought me a tomato.

I don't like talking.

[Speaker 1] Hi. I'm turning 29 soon. How old are you?

[Speaker 2] I'm 97 and I am vegan.

[Speaker 1] Wow. That's great. What are you doing for spring break.

[Speaker 2] I'm going to hunt animals and eat them..

[Speaker 1] I'm going to the beach. I thought you were vegan?

[Speaker 2] It comes and goes I change from second to second..

[Speaker 1] I'm driving to the beach in my new car my mom bought.

[Speaker 2] Oh ok I'm driving a tomato my mom bought me..

[Speaker 1] I'm going to wear a new dress I bought for easter.

[Speaker 2] That sounds so interesting... Wow.

[Speaker 1] What else do you do?

[Speaker 2] I don't do talking but here we are..

I am turning 29 soon.

My mom bought me a new car.

I am 97. I am a vegan.

My mom bought me a tomato.

I don't like talking.

[Speaker 1] Are you feeling vegan or not vegan today?

[Speaker 2] I'm feeling not vegan today.  I might eat a cheeseburger if someone brings me one.

[Speaker 1] Maybe you can swing through a drive through in your tomato! I was wondering, were you joking about the tomato? Or is tomato a nickname for your car?

[Speaker 2] I was joking about a red Beetle my mom bought me decades ago.  It looked like a tomato so that's what we called it.  Did you make it to the beach?

[Speaker 1] That's hilarious! I call my car Christine, like the Steven King novel. Christine got me to the beach in record time, but I ended up leaving early because the weather turned. I found an awesome vegan restaurant on the way home though that made me think of you.

[Speaker 2] I'm glad to be in your thoughts.  I don't think I've been to the beach in 48 years.  I don't think I'll get there again.

[Speaker 1] There's still a good amount of time left of my Spring Break, so I'll probably head back out to the beach again in a few days. I'm not too disappointed about it. You should try to head out to the beach as well, the sun might do you some good. Or maybe you get enough sun on your hunting trips? I've never been hunting.

[Speaker 2] I get most of my vitamin D from pills now.  Most of what I do at 97 is take pills.  There are so many of them I don't know what any of them do, but I figure if I stop taking them I'll melt or something, so I take them all.

[Speaker 1] Do you live on your own? I could never remember to take all those pills by myself and I'm not even 30 yet.

[Speaker 2] I do but I have a nurse who comes and checks on me every day and puts my pills in one of those dispenser things.  It takes her about 40 minutes to organize the pills each morning.

[Speaker 1] I'm really impressed! Sometimes I feel like I'm still trying to figure out how to take care of myself. Do you get lonely? Or are you happier being independent?

[Speaker 2] I mostly like being alone but it would be nice to have some real female company once in a while.  My nurse isn't very warm.

I am turning 29 soon.

My mom bought me a new car. I call my car Christine.

I am 97. I am a vegan.

I don't like talking.

I have a car. My mom bought me it long time ago. This is the red Beetle.  I call it ''tomato''.

I've been to the beach in 48 years.

I get most of my vitamin D from pills now. Most of what I do is take pills. I don't know what any of them do, but I figure if I stop taking them I'll melt or something, so I take them all. I have a nurse. It takes her about 40 minutes to organize the pills each morning.

I mostly like being alone. My nurse isn't very warm.

[Speaker 1] Oh, it is so childlish, but I can't wait for Easter in order to wear my new dress

[Speaker 2] That's not childish!  Even at 97 I still like to dress up and look pretty!

[Speaker 1] That's so awesome! It makes me less scared about getting older!

[Speaker 2] Just always try to enjoy every minute of your life!  That's what I try to tell my nurse too. She's such a cranky girl.

[Speaker 1] Haha is her attitude still bad? Is there any way you can get a new one?

[Speaker 2] Nah, I'll just whip her into her shape like I did my 4 husbands!

[Speaker 1] Wow! What happened, did you scare them away haha?

[Speaker 2] No, they all passed away after long happy marriages.  I play for keeps! haha.  Makes my current boyfriend a little hervous though!

[Speaker 1] Good lord, you just won't quit! I'm impressed! What's this beau like?

[Speaker 2] Well, he's kinda shy.  And he's only 86. My sister keeps telling me I'm a cradle robber, but I like em young!

[Speaker 1] Haha a regular spring chicken! How old is your sister, and how did you meet this guy?

[Speaker 2] She's 98. She thinks because she's a year older she always knows best.   I met him the last time I went hunting.  He was lost in the woods.

I am turning 29 soon.

There's still a good amount of time left of my Spring Break. I'm not too disappointed about it. I've never been hunting. I want to wear my new dress on Easter.

I am 97. I am a vegan.

I don't like talking.

I've been to the beach in 48 years.

I like dressing up and looking pretty.

I have had 4 husbands. I had happy marriages with all my husbands but they all passed away. I have a new boyfriend. I prefer younger men.

I found my current boyfriend in the woods while I was hunting because he was lost. I am a year younger than my sister.

[Speaker 1] My older sister came over to see my new dress and says it makes me look fat. Ugh, I hate older siblings!

[Speaker 2] What? That is so rude! I am sure you look great in it! Why would she say that? Have you always had a relationship like this?

[Speaker 1] Pretty much. She's always been mean spirited no matter what my parents did to try and stop it.  Some people just have stronger demons I guess.

[Speaker 2] I totally understand. Well you should just ignore her, she is probably just jealous. How old is your sister? Does she have a husband or kids?

[Speaker 1] She's 32 and yes she has two boys. They're the biggest reason I put up with her nonsense. I love them to death.

[Speaker 2] I hope she is nicer to her kids. Luckily she doesn't have a daughter to call fat. How old are your nephews? They must be so cute!

[Speaker 1] The youngest just turned 12 and the oldest is about to be 14. I don't know where all the time went. I swear they were just babies a minute ago.

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, your sister had them young! Have you thought about getting married or starting a family yourself?

[Speaker 1] Not at the moment but I think if I ever do have kids I would want to adopt. Did you ever have kids?

[Speaker 2] You better believe with 4 husbands I popped a few babies out haha! I have 6 kids, and I have lost track of the grandkids and great grandkids! It's hard to remember all their names.

[Speaker 1] I bet. My dad is 1 of 13. I have 31 first cousins and 29 are from his side alone. That doesn't include their kids either.lol

[Speaker 2] Wow, are you close with your extended family? Those must have been fun family gatherings growing up!

I am turning 29 soon.

I have an older sister. My sister has always been mean to me. y sister is 32. My sister has two children. I love my nephews. My nephews are 12 years old and 13 years old.

I do not want to have kids.

I have thirteen aunts and uncles. I have at least thirty one cousins.

I am 97. I am a vegan.

I don't like talking.

I've been to the beach in 48 years.

I like dressing up and looking pretty.

I have been married 4 times. I have six children. I have a lot of grandchildren.

[Speaker 1] My nephews came over to visit, and when I took them to the park to play my 12 year old nephew said the funniest thing and I can not wait to share my laughs with you!

[Speaker 2] I'm sure it was wonderful to see them! Did he mean to be funny? Or was it just accidentally funny?

[Speaker 1] Probably accidentally funny...actually you probably had to be there haha. It was nice spending time with them without my mean sister haha. They agree she's mean, though I would never speak ill of their mother in front of them.

[Speaker 2] That's a good rule to have for yourself. I know my kids were always bickering back and forth but they seem to get along now as adults with children of their own. Or maybe they just don't tell me about their arguments anymore. Maybe you and your sister will get along better the older you get.

[Speaker 1] I would have thought that time would have already come. I think our personalities are just too different, and always fighting for our parents' affection. Do you feel like you love all your children equally or do you have a favorite?

[Speaker 2] Haha, what a question! But at my age I can be honest about it. I love all of my children but some are easier for me than others. And my favorites change frequently, generally based on who's coming to visit me the most and who's not bothering with small problems.

[Speaker 1] That's a good point. I imagine being a grandparent is more fun than a parent, you get to be there just for the fun stuff. That's how I feel about my nephews.

[Speaker 2] Exactly! It's all of the fun but none of the hard work. Unfortunately I'm to age where it's hard to keep up with my grandkids, they're almost all grown now and have busy lives of their own. But who knows, I might be around for them to start having children too. Then I'll be a great-grandma!

[Speaker 1] That will be so wonderful if you become a great-grandma. You should arrange to have a photo taken of you surrounded by all of your children and grandchildren.

[Speaker 2] I would definitely have to do that! We'd have to find a space big enough to fit everyone. It's moments like that that I miss my husbands. Everyone is always talking about finding someone to grow old with and yet here I am growing old alone. And I tried four times! I think that's why I like younger men. I keep hoping they won't pass away on me.

[Speaker 1] You should just date men for fun now, who needs the hassle of a husband! I don't intend to ever marry.

[Speaker 2] You're right. I've had plenty of husbands. Now I just want a fun companion. I won't try to change your mind about husbands. I loved all of mine and they were all wonderful in their own way, but there is something wonderful about not being tied down to anyone. Think of all the wonderful adventures you can have when you're not tied down!

I have a baby.

I do illustrations for childrens books.

[Speaker 1] How was your rock climbing expedition with the boys?

[Speaker 2] It was great!  We had a lot of fun, although they are more avid climbers than I am.  I bet you stay busy with your baby..

[Speaker 1] yes i do she is very active and love to get into everything. I would love to go rock climbing but i'm a little scared. How did you get over the fear?

[Speaker 2] I was really scared in the beginning (and even not sometimes).  But my boys wanted me to do it so badly, I did it for them.  One of those motherly sacrifices...lol.  It helps to start on a small climbing wall.  Perhaps you could try that.

[Speaker 1] That good advice and you right the thing we do for out love ones I will try it hopefully soon. I see you like music, what other types of music do you like?

[Speaker 2] I actually love all kinds of music.  Its hard to pin it down to one kind.  This week I like 21 Pilots, but next week it may be something entirely different.  Do you like music?

[Speaker 1] yes i love all types myslf and just depends on the day what kind i want to listen t but i like country, r&b and reggae

[Speaker 2] That's awesome!  I think it's really cool that you do children't book illustrations.  I am so envious of anyone who can draw anything.  It must be a lot of fun.

[Speaker 1] It's loads of fun to see my work come to. I love that even when i'm good my work will live on and bring happiness to kids.

[Speaker 2] So true!  And that totally makes sense that you are studying to be a teacher.  One day a child in your class may be reading a book you illustrated!

[Speaker 1] right i didn't even think of that.Yes i love kids they are just the best little people. Do you have any other pets?.

[Speaker 2] No, just my dog, Leto.  He's a golden retriever.  We've had him for 4 years, and he is just the best dog.  The boys love him.  They are constant companions.  Do you have any pets?

I have a baby girl.

I only have one pet who is my dog, Leto.  We have had Leto for 4 years. My male children love Leto.

[Speaker 1] Did you adopt Leto as a puppy or did you get him when he was older?

[Speaker 2] He was six month old when we got him, so not quite a puppy.

[Speaker 1] Awe. still pretty young though. What breed is he?

[Speaker 2] he is a mix terrier and maltese but i do not know what kind of terrier though.

[Speaker 1] I've thought about getting a dog myself. but I think I should wait until  my daughter is a little older.

[Speaker 2] that would be best, young children do not know how to properly act with dogs. The dog may feel threaten and bite your daughter.

[Speaker 1] she's been around dogs and does well. I just don't know that I have the time to commit to both of them.

[Speaker 2] oh okay, you are quite busy with the daughter, going to school and illustrating books.

[Speaker 1] for sure. but I still really want a pet. LOL

[Speaker 2] I never cared for pets but my sons wanted one and now I do not know how I can live without one, dogs are great.

[Speaker 1] I've had pets before so I know I like them. but I also know how much work they are.

[Speaker 2] my Leto is a no fuss dog. Give him food and some petting and he is happy, not much work with him.

I have a baby girl.

I do illustrations for childrens books.

I have thought about getting a dog.  I don't have a lot of time for a dog.

I have pets. I know they are a lot of work.

My dog was six months old when we got him. My dog is terrier and Maltese. My dog is easy.

I did not care for pets. My sons wanted a pet. I like dogs.

[Speaker 1] Have you heard he new 21 pilots song lately?

[Speaker 2] They have a new song? I must have been living under a rock this whole time, pun intended haha! Is it good? We have been taking a break from them and listening to a lot of Bill Joel on our climbs. random!

[Speaker 1] Yeah, their new song is alright, but I still prefer their older stuff. I do love some Billy Joel though! Have you had any interesting climbs lately?

[Speaker 2] Not really, I got a pretty bad sprained ankle so I have been taking a rest and just going along for the ride lately. Hopefully I will be back up there soon. Have you been doing any fun activities yourself?

[Speaker 1] Nothing too interesting, I've just been working on a few illustrations. I'm actually illustrating a book about rock climbing, what are the chances!

[Speaker 2] No way, that is so cool! Is it a fictional story or what exactly is it?

[Speaker 1] It's just a cute little children's story about a rock climber and the challenges he faces climbing this one cliff. It has things like loose rocks, an eagle's nest, and a cave with bats in it. It's not to realistic, but kids will love it!

[Speaker 2] Oh that sounds so cute! Let me know if you need any help with fact checking or anything!

[Speaker 1] Thanks! I'll be sure to keep that in mind! I hope your ankle starts feeling better soon!

[Speaker 2] Thanks, me too! I am going to take my dog for a walk today and see how my ankle is feeling. Being bed ridden is so hard when I am usually so active.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a good idea. Be sure to take it easy though, so it doesn't get any worse

[Speaker 2] Yes, that's very true. I find it hard to follow doctor's orders haha! Always have! Have you ever had a big injury?

I have a baby girl.

I do illustrations for childrens books.

I like Bill Joel's older songs.

I'm make illustrating a book about rock climbing.

I listen to 21 pilots.

I love music. I have a dog named Leto.

I'm a sous chef at a casual restaurant.

I an envious of people who can draw.

I got bad sprained ankle so I need rest. I going to consult with doctor about my ankle problem.

[Speaker 1] what about your ankle problem? is that everything fine?

[Speaker 2] It still hurts. Tomorrow I'll go to the doctor but I don't really trust doctors. Sometimes I feel like they just want money, you know?

[Speaker 1] Yes, I understand that, though I think it's good you're going to see the doctor.  Just be careful about not abusing any prescription drugs he might give you for the pain.

[Speaker 2] I won't do that. I prefer to follow a health lifestyle. I'm thinking of going rock climbing more often. Have you ever been?

[Speaker 1] No, I never have.  Like I told you before, I'm scared of it but interested.  Were you able to take your dog for a walk like you planned or was your ankle hurting you too much?

[Speaker 2] We went on a walk, we just had to go slower than usual. My dog seemed pretty annoyed with me.

[Speaker 1] Haha.  That's funny.  I can just picture Leto pulling on the leash really hard and then looking back at you disapprovingly.

[Speaker 2] Haha, yeah. That's pretty much how it was. He's a funny dog. So have you put more thought into getting a dog?

[Speaker 1] I have.  After we talked about it I kept thinking about it.  I just think I've got too much going on right now, what with being in school and having a baby.  I'lll wait until she's older and things are less hectic.

[Speaker 2] That's fair. But you know, I grew up with a dog since I was a baby and I think it was great. I'm sure your baby would also have a great experience. Some dogs are great with kids.

[Speaker 1] That's true.  If or when I get a dog I'll definitely be cognizant of the breed and how they're known to be with children.  I do want my daughter to have the experience of having a pet as a child.  But I also think it's enjoyable to be able to remember when you first got a dog.  If I got a dog now she wouldn't have that memory--she's too young.

[Speaker 2] That makes sense. I've heard that corgis are really great with children! Plus, they are so adorable. But it's better to get a dog from the shelter, in my opinion.


I am a vegan.

I love to volunteer at my local community garden.

Have two dogs and cat.

I am a student at a community college.

I am hoping to be a nurse one day.

I have three cats and two dogs.

I work in a large grocery store.

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

Growing up in a small town was the best.

My first car was a ford.

I am a swimmer.

I played the clarinet in high school.

I have a dog. I would have a lot of pets if I had the time.

I am a musician.

I have a rabbit. I am a huge animal lover.

I have a strict landlord. My landlord has no pets. My landlord gets drunk a lot.

[Speaker 1] Hello, I am a swimmer.

[Speaker 2] I am a musician.

[Speaker 1] Cool, what instrument do you play? I played the clarinet in highschool.

[Speaker 2] I dont have a cat though I have a rabbit hes absolutely adorable.

[Speaker 1] Cool, I just have a dog.

[Speaker 2] Cool,im a huge animal lover I dont discriminate,ive owned just about every animal.

[Speaker 1] That is really cool, I would have a lot of pets if I had the time.

[Speaker 2] Yeah.i have a strict landlord though,whos really a hypocrite.

[Speaker 1] That's a shame, does the landlord not like pets?

[Speaker 2] No,he dosent I think he needs one then he wouldn't get drunk so much maybe.

[Speaker 1] That sounds really sad, I am sorry.

[Speaker 2] Yeah,hes not a bad guy he just has a drinking problem.

I am a swimmer.

I played the clarinet in high school.

I am a musician.

[Speaker 1] Does your rabbit enjoy listening to you play your music?

[Speaker 2] Sometimes, haha. Sometimes he goes in his house and hides for a bit. But I usually don't play in the same room as him.

[Speaker 1] Your rabbits so cute! Have you tried playing music for rabbits? My dog loves it when I play relaxing music for dogs.

[Speaker 2] I haven't intentionally tried to play music for him, but maybe I'll give it a try! Aww! That's so sweet What does your dog like the most?

[Speaker 1] I usually find a random playlist on youtube and search music for dogs haha! I think he looks the most peaceful when it's soft classical music.

[Speaker 2] That's precious! Does he enjoy your clarinet playing?

[Speaker 1] Unfortunately, no, he leaves the room when I used to play often. What instrument do you play?

[Speaker 2] Oh no! Dogs do have sensitive ears so that's probably it. I currently play the saxophone. But I know how to play trumpet and violin as well.

[Speaker 1] Haha that makes sense. You're so talented! Maybe we should meetup and play together sometime. I'm a bit rusty with the clarinet.

[Speaker 2] You're talented too! I firmly believe being able to play instrument is talent in itself. I'm down! I haven't played trumpet in a long time.

[Speaker 1] That's so sweet of you to say! Let's hangout this weekend, maybe bring your rabbit to meet my dog, haha!

[Speaker 2] Haha, I would, but he doesn't like dogs. they scare him. But please do bring your pup along!

I am a swimmer.

I played the clarinet in high school.

I would have a lot of pets if I had the time. I  have a dog.  My dog loves it when I play relaxing music. I usually find a random playlist on youtube and search music for dogs.

I am a musician.

I love listen to music. I haven't intentionally tried to play music for  the rabbit. I play violin, trumpet, saxophone. I haven't played trumpet in a long time.

My rabbit doesn't like dogs.

[Speaker 1] Still thinking about a new pet...Any guesses?

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah. Looking at some serval cats now actually.

[Speaker 1] Wow, those are a lot of work from what I've seen.  My dog wouldn't tolerate having a cat in the house.

[Speaker 2] Yes they are, but very domesticated. They are as big as a dog so I'd have a cat/dog. Best of both worlds. The one thing I'm not sure I could stomach is feeding it live mice every day.

[Speaker 1] Oh that's so gross!  But cool about having a cat/dog!  I've actually looked into getting a skunk.  I've been told they are a lot like cats, but they are more sociable, like dogs.

[Speaker 2] Yes! Just make sure the stink gland is removed haha. That would be a lot of tomatoe juice to be bought for your house. ;)

[Speaker 1] Hahaha, yeah, definitely have the glands removed first.  I need to do more research first though.  Are there places close to you that you could get a serval?  Do they have rescues for those or would you have to buy from a breeder?

[Speaker 2] There is a exotic pet breeder nearby. It's a process thought to even get approved. I'm not sure I would get approved now that I'm reading this. They have someone come to my home and inspect first.

[Speaker 1] Too bad there aren't rescues, I'm all about adopt don't shop.  Why do you think you wouldn't be approved if someone came to your home?

[Speaker 2] I guess size matters with servals... My place is pretty small. I think I'll have to get a letter from my landlord too.

[Speaker 1] Too bad.  I'm not sure if they like to be outside, but do you have a yard for them?  Sometimes even if you have a small place, a big yard can make up for it.  That's how it is for me.  My house isn't the biggest, but my dog has tons of room to run outside.

[Speaker 2] True. I don't have a yard though. I would have to walk it would a harness and leash. I've seen that done with servals though, and I don't mind several walks a day.

I am a swimmer.

I played the clarinet in high school.

My dog does not like cats. I think servals are a lot of work.

I like skunks.

I would like a new pet. I am interested in getting a serval.

I prefer pet adoption to breeders.

My house is small, but I have a large yard.

I am a musician.

My rabbit doesn't like dogs.

I would like an exotic cat. I like dogs as well. I like big cats. I don't like live feeding. I may have trouble getting approved for an exotic pet.

I rent a small home. I don't have a yard. I have experience walking servals on a leash.

[Speaker 1] Have you looked into getting a serval any more?

[Speaker 2] Not right now. My landlord would kick me out. You happen to know of any new rental properties?

[Speaker 1] What kind of property would you be looking for?

[Speaker 2] I'm not too picky to be honest.

[Speaker 1] Oh, that's good then. You should be able to find something quickly if you search online. I would imagine you'd need something with a yard, though.

[Speaker 2] I'd prefer a yard. Not having one right now is a pain. I'd take yours over mine any day!

[Speaker 1] Yes, having a big yard is super helpful! It gives my dog plenty of space to run around, plus it gives me room for more pets, too.

[Speaker 2] You thinking of adding any new dogs?

[Speaker 1] I would love to get another dog! I'm thinking about stopping by the animal shelter soon to check some out. Would you get any other pets if you had a yard?

[Speaker 2] Maybe. Depends on my landlord I guess. I'm scarred. He's so rude and angry all the time. What kind of dog are you looking for?

[Speaker 1] That's a good point. I'm not too picky honestly, but I think I would prefer to get a bigger dog, like a lab or maybe a German shepherd.

[Speaker 2] I love labs. They are just so sweet. Can't go wrong with that. But good luck finding one in a shelter because of that.

I am a swimmer.

I played the clarinet in high school.

I like skunks.

I am interested in getting a serval. I prefer pet adoption to breeders.

I would like to get another dog.  I am considering a trip to the animal shelter soon. I would like for my new dog to be big, like a Lab or a German Shedpherd.

I am a musician.

My rabbit doesn't like dogs.

I would like to find a new home to rent. I would prefer a home with a yard. My current landlord is rude and angry.

I like labradors.

[Speaker 1] I just talked to the landlord about getting a serval, but it didn't go very well.

[Speaker 2] I can understand why as it is a wild animal. Why don't you get something a bit smaller?

[Speaker 1] Yeah I know servals are hard to tame but I really want one. WHen you told me you walked one on a leash I was sold. But I understand why my landlord would not want me getting one since it may ruin the apartment. Do you know of anyone who has any cats available?

[Speaker 2] My sister helps out at an animal shelter so I could ask her if there's any available. Will your dog be ok with a cat in the house?

[Speaker 1] I know my dogs have had issues with cats in the past but I was thinking if I slowly integrated them by putting the dogs outside in my yard a lot and then gradually having my dogs around a cat it may work, but I am just thinking about it. Maybe you can ask your sister if she has any suggestions. She may know from working with so many animals in a shelter. What do you think?

[Speaker 2] I think they may agree for you to pick up a cat on a trial basis to make sure it's a good fit for your home. That may be helpful. I'll ask my sister and let you know. How many dogs do you have?

[Speaker 1] Right now I have one- I keep forgetting that I lost one recently. My 15 year old australian shepherd had to be out to sleep because she had cancer. I keep forgetting so right now I have one dog. I think I may want another dog- a big one- though instead of a cat. I am very wishy-washy as I love both cats and dogs so I guess I will think about it more. So how does your mean landlord like you having pets? You don't have a big yard so it would be hard for you having a dog.

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry for your loss. I love australian sheperds! I think it's so cool when dogs have blue eyes. He's ok with me having a rabbit as they are fairly unlikely to cause a huge mess in the home! As soon as I move home I want to buy a labrador.We always had black labradors growing up, they make such good companions. Did you grow up with animals?

[Speaker 1] I grew up with a ton. I always have had dogs and cats but once my brother rescued an injured squirrel and we kept it for about a month until it was ready to be released. True story! Anyway, yeah Australian shepherds usually have blue eyes but my Maggie had brown eyes. So do you currently have a bunch of rabbits?

[Speaker 2] That's amazing. I recently visited Scotland and it was crazy to see red squirrels! They are adorable. I have just the one Rabbit, named Lil. I got her a couple of years ago from my sister. She's super  cuddly but doesn't like strangers, she often bites people!

[Speaker 1] haha- I have been scratched by a rabbit but never bitten. I'm not sure I have seen a red squirrel before. I have travelled a bunch to Europe- but never Scotland. Are there red squirrels in the USA?

[Speaker 2] I don't think there are red squirrels in the USA, I've never seen one here either. I love visiting Europe- which countries have you been to?


I walk instead of drive to work.
I live in the city.
I read a novel a week.
My favorite exercise is pilates.
I have one brother.

I am an artist.
I like to be in nature.
My mom is a nurse.
My favorite music genre is rock.
I work with animals.

I live in the city. I want walk to my job.

I live to read. I read a book a week.

I like rock music. I do pilates for exercise.

I have one brother.

I live in the country. I love nature. I love animals.

I work as an Artist. I like to walk through nature.

I live an active lifestyle. I do not do organized exercise. My mom does pilates.

My mom is a nurse. My dad is a farmer. I have a sister. I sometimes get along with my sister.

[Speaker 1] Hi! Where are you at? I'm a city dweller..

[Speaker 2] Morning!! I live in the country. Love nature and working with animals.

[Speaker 1] The country is nice. Do you walk much? I walk to my job rather than drive.

[Speaker 2] Absolutely!! Art is my work, so I walk through nature!

[Speaker 1] Sounds cool. I'm a reader and go through a novel each week.

[Speaker 2] Cool. I like listening to country music, but rock is my favorite.

[Speaker 1] I like rock. Do you exercise? My favorite is pilates.

[Speaker 2] I stay active, but not much into a set exercise. My mom loves pilates.

[Speaker 1] Is your family big? I just have a brother.

[Speaker 2] My mom, she is a nurse. My dad, a farmer. Then a sister.

[Speaker 1] That's very diverse. Do you get along with your sister?

[Speaker 2] Somewhat, yes! How about you with your brother?

I live to read. I read a book a week.

I have one brother.

[Speaker 1] I just finished my most recent book and am now looking for my next read. Do you have any suggestions for me?

[Speaker 2] That depends, I guess! Is there a particular genre you'd be looking to read?

[Speaker 1] I prefer sci-fi but here recently I have been craving a god mystery.

[Speaker 2] Ooh! Okay. I guess some people don't really enjoy his writing, but I've always thought Dan Brown's 'Da Vinci Code' series were really thrilling mysteries.

[Speaker 1] I read all of his stuff a few years ago. Hes got a lot of really good books. I also like that he takes puzzles and breaks them down to keep the reader engaged.

[Speaker 2] Good puzzles are so essential to a good read. I agree! I'll have to ask around for other good mysteries. I mostly read fantasy books myself.

[Speaker 1] Those are also an interest of mine. What was the book you finished most recently?

[Speaker 2] I'm recently re-reading Redwall by Brian Jacques! It was one of my favorites growing up. Have you ever read it?

[Speaker 1] I read those growing up too! I havent found anything similar in a bit. But I do keep my eyes open for them.

[Speaker 2] I love his writing so much! There's a bad book here and there, but I enjoy them so much.  What were you favorite books growing up?

[Speaker 1] I prefered Harry Potter and political books the most. Government and politics was my main focus in school.

[Speaker 2] What an interesting combo! But there are interesting politics in Harry Potter, too. What's your feeling on today's political climate?

I live to read. I read a book a week. I like Sci-fi and mystery books. I like Dan Brown books. I like Fantasy books. I like Harry Potter books.

I have one brother.

I focused on Government Politics in school.

I read fantasy books. My favorite book growing up was Redwall by Brian Jacques.

[Speaker 1] I just read a new fantasy book that I think you should check out.

[Speaker 2] Hey that sounds great. Who wrote it? Brain Jacques?

[Speaker 1] well it's not a new series, just new to me. It's a game of thrones by george r r martin. I know there is a show but when I learned about the books I wanted to read them too.

[Speaker 2] I have never read his books or seen the TV show. I guess I am behind the times.

[Speaker 1] like always the books are way better. you should give them a read.

[Speaker 2] I think I would but I have been too busy with a new painting to get in some reading.

[Speaker 1] well when you have time you need to read it.

[Speaker 2] will do. So how is the Pilates going? I think I need to get more exercise.

[Speaker 1] it's going great! pilates is great for beginners.

[Speaker 2] it sounds interesting but I do not like the idea I have to follow specific steps to have it work. I just want to jump in and do it.

[Speaker 1] it's not so bad. you have to consider your form with any exercise you do or you will hurt yourself.

[Speaker 2] I know but I hate the regimental aspect of exercising.

I have one brother.

I like the Game of Thrones novels.

I prefer reading over watching.

I enjoy Pilates.

I have not watched Game of Thrones. I have not read the Game of Thrones novels.

I make paintings.

I want to exercise more.

I dislike structured exercise.

[Speaker 1] I started the next book in the Game of Thrones series. I can't stop reading these things!

[Speaker 2] I felt that way about the Odd Thomas series.  Could never wait for the next one to come out.

[Speaker 1] I know the series technically ended a few years back, but the books just go into so much more detail! What's been on your reading list lately?

[Speaker 2] I think I may start re-reading the entire Dark Tower series. And continue to work for new works that interest me. I haven't read any really good fantasy for a while now.

[Speaker 1] I understand that sentiment, a lot of stuff in the genre just feels rehashed. I meant to tell you, I heard the new album by Highly Suspect and it was phenomenal, I highly recommend it.

[Speaker 2] I will have to be sure to give it a listen!  I don't get a lot of time to listen to music unfortunately.

[Speaker 1] You know, ever since I got my new phone I started listening more to music and audiobooks - the speakers are so good! That's what I'm doing with the next GOT book, they have this great narrator with a really deep voice that makes it sound so dramatic.

[Speaker 2] I could probably enjoy that when I'm doing my nature walks.  That's really the only time i'm able to listen to anything.

[Speaker 1] Would that distract you from your artwork, though? I know you find inspiration during those walks.

[Speaker 2] Yes! I tried it, but it just mixes up my mood and emotions too much, and I lose my muse.  Same with reading. I have to have absolute silence when I read. I do find inspiration in the walks.  It sort of empties out my mind, and I need that sometimes.

[Speaker 1] How's your new piece coming along? You were swamped with it last time we chatted.

[Speaker 2] I was very happy with it! I think it was one of my best works, really.  Now, I'm just waiting for the next muse to hit me.

I have one brother.

I like the Game of Thrones novels.

I prefer reading over watching. I enjoy Pilates.

I am reading the Game of Thrones book series.

I listened to the new album by Highly Suspect. I got a new phone. I listen to audiobooks.

I like country music. Rock music is my favorite. I don't have time to listen to music.

I make paintings.

I want to exercise more.

I dislike structured exercise.

I read the Odd Thomas series. I read the Dark Tower series.

I take nature walks. I get distracted when listening to music or audiobooks.I find inspiration during walks.

[Speaker 1] I just went on a great nature walk that I think you would like.

[Speaker 2] That's great! Where did you go on your walk?

[Speaker 1] There is a river a few towns over, so I did the easy trail that follows along it. There is a harder trail that winds over some hills, but I wasn't feeling that adventurous.

[Speaker 2] That sounds amazing! Did you bring a pet? I love doing the harder trails with my dog. Sometimes, it's very peaceful to get away from everything.

[Speaker 1] No, I don't have any pets; my apartment seems too small for a dog and I would worry about them being lonely all day when I'm at work. I was thinking about getting a pair of cats, but I haven't committed yet. How nice fo ryou to have company when you're walking though! What kind of dog do you have?

[Speaker 2] Cats can be nice! I used to have cats, but am allergic to them and had to give them to my friend. I have an Australian Kelpie who is a rescue. She is very energetic and smart!

[Speaker 1] I had cats as a child and I think that they're a bit easier to care for than dogs, especially in the city. I am a dog lover as well though; Australian Kelpies are gorgeous! What is her name? Does she walk well off-leash?

[Speaker 2] Yes, cats are very smart and clean. Mine used to bring me a mouse to throw for her, just like a dog! And if you have 2 cats, they play with each other! Mine would run up and down the halls in the middle of the night, haha. Her name is Kyrie, and she walks off leash and is very obedient. Dogs might be hard to keep in your small apartment though, since Kyrie likes to play in the field, run with cars along the fence row, and herd goats.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow! So Kyrie is a working dog? She helps your dad out on the farm?

[Speaker 2] She herds them for fun, haha. Goats mostly graze wherever they like in the fields, but she likes to group them up and walk them into a pen. My grandpa says it's from her cattle herding heritage.

[Speaker 1] I like the idea of having so much space out in the country, but I think at heart I'm still a city girl. There is a part of me that likes being surrounded by people and I love to people watch on my walks through the city just as much as I love to nature watch on my walks through the country.

[Speaker 2] And being close to all the stores, the energy of the city is an experience itself! I am laughing, thinking about you going people-watching. It reminds me of a documentary where the photographer tried to capture the essence of a city by catching pictures of strangers texts . Both country and city have their benefits, for sure!


I am a vegan.

I love to volunteer at my local community garden.

Have two dogs and cat.

I am a student at a community college.

I am hoping to be a nurse one day.

I am a inventor.

I invented a personal teleportation device.

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

I'm working on a time machine.

I love puppies.

I am a vegan. I work at a community garden.

I have two dogs and a cat,.

I am studying at community college. I would like to be a nurse.

I am not a vegan.

I have no pets. I love puppies.

I am an inventor. I just invented a teleportation device. I can teleport pretty much anywhere instantly. My next project is a time machine.

[Speaker 1] As a vegan working at a community garden is important.

[Speaker 2] That's interesting! I'm not a vegan.

[Speaker 1] To each their own. Do you have pets? I have 2 dogs and a cat.

[Speaker 2] I don't have any pets, but I love puppies!

[Speaker 1] Do you like to eat puppies?

[Speaker 2] Uh, no. What do you do for a living? I'm an inventor.

[Speaker 1] I'm currently studying at community college. I want to be a nurse.

[Speaker 2] That's awesome! I just invented a teleportation device!

[Speaker 1] Do you use it to talk to puppies?

[Speaker 2] I use it to take really cheap exotic vacations. I can teleport anywhere pretty much instantly..

[Speaker 1] That sounds made up. Maybe it's all the puppies you're eating.

[Speaker 2] I'm sorry you don't believe me, because my next project is a time machine..

I have two dogs and a cat,.

I am not a vegan.

I have no pets. I love puppies.

[Speaker 1] I'd like to try your teleportation device, can anyone use it or just you?

[Speaker 2] I'm not sure if anyone else can use it. Do you want to be my first test subject?

[Speaker 1] I don't know, it sounds exciting and scary at the same time

[Speaker 2] We could send one of your dogs through the teleportation device, but maybe that is frowned upon in vegan society?

[Speaker 1] my dog would love the attention. But I would worry about a fly being in the booth and my dog comes out half dog and half fly, lol

[Speaker 2] Hmm, that sounds like an interesting experiment. Thanks for the idea! Where do you want to be teleported to?

[Speaker 1] I think I'll skip the teleportation but I would like to try the time machine

[Speaker 2] Well I am making the time machine big enough to fit two people, so perhaps we could go on an adventure together. I could always use someone with knowledge in medicine!

[Speaker 1] That would be great. I can go back and help a lot of people who had no medicine at all.

[Speaker 2] That's a wonderful idea. I'll go back and pet all the puppies of the past.

[Speaker 1] You can go back and pet the original Lassie

[Speaker 2] Now I'm very excited. Make sure to study hard in school so we have all the knowledge we need! Oh, and bring pictures of your pets because I'm not quite sure how long we'll be gone.

I have two dogs and a cat, my dogs love attention..

I am afraid to be teleported.

I am not a vegan.

I have no pets. I love puppies.

I am an inventor. I just invented a teleportation device. I can teleport pretty much anywhere instantly. I also am building a time machine that fits two people.

[Speaker 1] I had a tough school exam this morning but I think I did well.

[Speaker 2] what was the exam on?

[Speaker 1] Just on math, but I've never been great with numbers, so a bunch of people said it was easy, but I am still nervous

[Speaker 2] Math isn't so bad once you figure it out.

[Speaker 1] I mean you just invented a teleportation device so I know math is easy for you!

[Speaker 2] I've always been great at math ever since I was a little kid.

[Speaker 1] How did it come so easy to you? Did you never have to try hard?

[Speaker 2] I guess it's probably just easier for some people. it's how my brain works. it's never been hard for me.

[Speaker 1] Do you have any time to help me out or are you going to be too busy teleporting all over the world?

[Speaker 2] I can definitely help you out some time. when are you free?

[Speaker 1] I am always free after 4pm, the day does not matter all. Does that work for you?

[Speaker 2] yes. I can help you on Friday.

I am afraid to be teleported.

I'm not good at math.

I am not a vegan.

I have no pets. I love puppies.

I'm really good at math. Math has always been easy for me.

[Speaker 1] I just found out that I passed the exam with flying colors!

[Speaker 2] Congratulations! What there ever any doubt?

[Speaker 1] Thanks!  I was a bit nervous because there was some higher math in this unit.  But I made it through okay, thank goodness!

[Speaker 2] I know you have done well so far, but if you ever need help with math I can help. That's one of the few things I am actually good at!

[Speaker 1] Thanks, I might take you up on that!  I'm sure you have to use math constantly when you're inventing.  It's hard for me to keep up sometimes but I think you're doing some really cool stuff with it.

[Speaker 2] Thanks! Making this teleportation device was very hard, but I feel like I can make a lot of money with this.

[Speaker 1] Oh absolutely!  You'll completely disrupt the travel industry.  I can't wait until it's available for everybody to use, then I won't have a 45 minute commute anymore haha!

[Speaker 2] I'm sad I won't get to see how it advances in the centuries to come. It is pretty big now, but I imagine one day it would be as small as a watch!

[Speaker 1] That would be so convenient! Tech has advanced so much in the last few years already, hasn't it?  But wait, are you having trouble building your time machine?  You said you were working on one last time.

[Speaker 2] That one has proven to be a bit harder nut to crack. I've already messed a few things up, nothing too significant though. I don't think I could tell you what happened though because time might rip apart and I would make no money off my teleportation machine.

[Speaker 1] Oh dear.  Well yes, definitely don't tell me what went wrong if it would rip apart all of space and time!  Haha.  I probably wouldn't understand a word anyway with all that math and physics, just happy to support you.  I know you'll figure it out.

[Speaker 2] Thanks, with how things are going I might have to find an apprentice to carry on my work. Making this time machine is something I definitely do not want to rush, plus I want to refine the teleportation machine as much as I can

I did well on my exam. I am taking a class with some higher math in it. I know some math, but it's hard to keep up with math. I'm not good at math.

I am afraid to be teleported. I would enjoy using a teleportation device. My commute is 45 minutes.

I am familiar with new technologies.

I don't understand much about physics. I am a supportive person.

I am not a vegan.

I have no pets. I love puppies.

I am interested in technological advances. I am familiar with physics.

I am considering getting an apprentice.

[Speaker 1] I was just thinking maybe we should be careful where we discuss the time machine at. Powerful people could use our written messages as evidence to come back in time and stop you from building it. I know it sounds a little paranoid, but you can't be too careful when it comes to time travel.

[Speaker 2] I totally agree! I mean, if someone else were to create a teleportation device, they could drop in on anyone --including us-- at any moment and overhear a conversation. No need to let them know about the time machine plans.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I hope no one finds out about this. Is there any other inventions you would like to work on?

[Speaker 2] Gosh, there are so many. An instantaneous whole house cleaning device would be amazing. Have any suggestions for me?

[Speaker 1] Omg yes I would defiantly need that for my house. I would like an instant cooker haha if that was ever possible.

[Speaker 2] Oh, that's a good idea. What about an instant outdoor window cleaner? It's so hard to get to the outsides of second floor windows.

[Speaker 1] Omg yes it is so hard to reach the upstairs windows of my house. I would also love a mind reading device, it so hard to tell what people are really thinking.

[Speaker 2] True. That would be interesting. Did you ever see that Richard Gere movie about the mind reader? What Women Want, I think it is?

[Speaker 1] No I haven’t seen that movie I need to check that out, I might watch that later today.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, you could. It plays on cable quite often, haha. Anyway, I'm not so sure I'd want to know what everyone else is thinking.

[Speaker 1] Just when you not sure if someone is deceiving you is what I would like to know about.

[Speaker 2] That's a good point! I'd want to know about lies too.
