Say , Jim , how about going for a few beers after dinner ? |
You know that is tempting but is really not good for our fitness . |
It will help us to relax . |
Do you really think so ? |
It will just make us fat and act silly . |
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 . |
I hear Mary and Sally often go there to play pingpong. |
Perhaps we can make a foursome with them . |
If they are willing , we could ask them to go dancing with us. |
That is excellent exercise and fun , too . |
Can you do push-ups ? |
It's a piece of cake ! |
Believe it or not , I can do 30 push-ups a minute . |
I think that's impossible ! |
You mean 30 push-ups ? |
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 . |
Hey John , nice skates . |
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 ? |
It ’ s a lot of fun . |
You don ’ t have to be able to skate as fast on defense . |
Yeah , you ’ re a pretty big guy . |
I play goalie , myself . |
I think we play you guys next week . |
Well , I have to go to practice . |
All right , see you later . |
Hey Lydia , what are you reading ? |
I ’ 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 ? |
What are horoscopes ? |
It ’ 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 ’ m an Aries . |
you ’ 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 ’ ll both have interesting summers ! |
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 ’ s not , your astrology sign can tell you a lot about your personality . |
It says that an Aries is energetic and loves to socialize . |
Well , you certainly match those criteria , but they ’ 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 ’ s getting married , do you believe this ? |
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 ’ s right , we bought it the same day we came on the market . |
What kind of house is it ? |
It ’ s a wonderful Spanish style . |
Oh , I love the roof tiles on Spanish style houses . |
And it ’ 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 ’ s a two-car garage . |
That ’ s a nice area too . |
It ’ 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 . |
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 . |
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 . |
The Filipino kid is a genius . |
