Say , Jim , how about going for a few beers after dinner ? |
You know that is tempting but is really not good for our fitness . |
What do you mean ? It will help us to relax . |
Do you really think so ? I don't . It will just make us fat and act silly . Remember last time ? |
I guess you are right.But what shall we do ? I don't feel like sitting at home . |
I suggest a walk over to the gym where we can play singsong and meet some of our friends . |
That's a good idea . I hear Mary and Sally often go there to play pingpong.Perhaps we can make a foursome with them . |
Sounds great to me ! If they are willing , we could ask them to go dancing with us.That is excellent exercise and fun , too . |
Good.Let ' s go now . |
Can you do push-ups ? |
Of course I can . It's a piece of cake ! Believe it or not , I can do 30 push-ups a minute . |
Really ? I think that's impossible ! |
You mean 30 push-ups ? |
It's easy . If you do exercise everyday , you can make it , too . |
Can you study with the radio on ? |
No , I listen to background music . |
What is the difference ? |
The radio has too many comerials . |
That's true , but then you have to buy a record player . |
I will be all right soon . I was terrified when I watched them fall from the wire . |
Don't worry.He is an acrobat γ |
Hey John , nice skates . Are they new ? |
Yeah , I just got them . I started playing ice hockey in a community league . So , I finally got myself new skates . |
What position do you play ? |
I β m a defender . It β s a lot of fun . You don β t have to be able to skate as fast on defense . |
Yeah , you β re a pretty big guy . I play goalie , myself . |
Oh , yeah ? Which team ? |
Really ? I think we play you guys next week . Well , I have to go to practice . See you later . |
All right , see you later . |
Hey Lydia , what are you reading ? |
I β m looking at my horoscope for this month ! My outlook is very positive . It says that I should take a vacation to someplace exotic , and that I will have a passionate summer fling ! |
What are you talking about ? Let me see that ... What are horoscopes ? |
It β s a prediction of your month , based on your zodiac sign . You have a different sign for the month and date you were born in . I was born on April 15th , so I β m an Aries . When were you born ? |
Let β s see . . . you β re a Capricorn . It says that you will be feeling stress at work , but you could see new , exciting developments in your love life . Looks like we β ll both have interesting summers ! |
That β s bogus . I don't feel any stress at work , and my love life is practically nonexistent . This zodiac stuff is all a bunch of nonsense . |
No , it β s not , your astrology sign can tell you a lot about your personality . See ? It says that an Aries is energetic and loves to socialize . |
Well , you certainly match those criteria , but they β re so broad they could apply to anyone . What does it say about me ? |
A Capricorn is serious-minded and practical . She likes to do things in conventional ways . That sounds just like you ! |
Frank β s getting married , do you believe this ? |
Yes , he is . He loves the girl very much . |
A girl he met on holiday in Spain , I think . |
Have they set a date for the wedding ? |
I hear you bought a new house in the northern suburbs . |
That β s right , we bought it the same day we came on the market . |
What kind of house is it ? |
It β s a wonderful Spanish style . |
Oh , I love the roof tiles on Spanish style houses . |
And it β s a bargaining . A house like this in river side costs double the price . |
Great , is it a two bedroom house ? |
No , it has three bedrooms and three beds , and has a living room with a twelve-foot ceiling . There β s a two-car garage . |
That β s a nice area too . It β ll be a good investment for you . |
Yeas , when will you buy a house ? |
Not untill the end of this year , you know , just before my wedding . |
Right , congratulations . |
Hi , Becky , what's up ? |
Not much , except that my mother-in-law is driving me up the wall . |
What's the problem ? |
She loves to nit-pick and criticizes everything that I do . I can never do anything right when she's around . |
Well , last week I invited her over to dinner . My husband and I had no problem with the food , but if you listened to her , then it would seem like I fed her old meat and rotten vegetables . There's just nothing can please her . |
No , I can't see that happening . I know you're a good cook and nothing like that would ever happen . |
It's not just that . She also criticizes how we raise the kids . |
My mother-in-law used to do the same thing to us . If it wasn't disciplining them enough , then we were disciplining them too much . She also complained about the food we fed them , the schools we sent them too , and everything else under the sun . |
You said she used to ? How did you stop her ? |
We basically sat her down and told her how we felt about her constant criticizing , and how we welcomed her advice but hoped she'd let us do our things . She understood , and now everything is a lot more peaceful . |
That sounds like a good idea . I'll have to try that . |
How are Zina's new programmers working out ? |
I hate to admit it , but they're good . And fast . The Filipino kid is a genius . |
So you'll make the Stars.com deadline , and have us up and running next week ? |
It'll be close , but we'll make it . |
Good . After Stars.com starts paying us , we won't need Vikam's cash anymore . |
And if we don't need them , we won't need Zina , either . |
Do you like cooking ? |
Yes . I like cooking very much . I got this hobby when I was 12 years sold . |
Why do you like it ? |
I have no idea . I like cooking by myself . I like to taste delicious food . |
And I love trying new recipes , which I usually test with my friends . You can come , too . |
Really ? I hope I can have a chance to taste it . Don't forget to tell me . |
I'm in the kitchen ... let yourself in ! |
Wow ! You're really working up a storm ! |
I know . I've even worked up a sweat . |
You look like a cooking show host--only messier . |
You look so tan and healthy ! |
Thanks . I just got back from summer camp . |
Great . I got to try so many things for the first time . |
I went sailing , fishing , and horseback riding . |
The counselors were so nice too . It was the best summer ever . Except for all those mosquitoes ! |
Diana , do you like the perfume I gave you ? |
It β s good . But to tell you the truth , I don β t wear perfume . |
I β m sorry . I didn β t know that . |
That β s all right . Thank you all the same . |
All right , Bill.Here ' s your daily exercise schedule . You are to jog before breakfast . |
Then , you are to walk to work . |
Thirty minutes in gym at lunch time . |
Use the stairs , never the elevator . |
And three times a week , you can either swim , play racketball , or hand ball . |
OK , you can stop now.It ' s time for the dance class . |
Dance class ! I don't know how . |
Hi Bill , I saw your grandma yesterday . |
I was running around the track at my college and there she was walking around the same track . |
Grannie always tries to stay fit and healthy.She is always making us kids eat the proper foods . |
