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 .? |
