I really enjoy Italian cuisine. Do you like it? It's the food of my people. I come from Rome the home to real Italian cuisine Well, that's cool! So, I'm sure you have experienced many fine, authentic Italian cuisine? Yes, I have. What's your favorite? Most people don't know that the food is very different in the north and south. Yes, I don't know the differences. I really enjoy lasagna and chicken alfredo Italian dishes. You are making me hungry. Pasta is traditional Italian cuisine of the Sicily region. Meaty dishes are from up north. Oh, okay, well, I enjoy the cheeses and meats in the dishes. When, you add pasta and delicious sauces, it's hard to go wrong!
[ "With it's abundance of taste, Italian is one of the most popular and copied foods in the world." ]
I found it surprising that some shellfish are found in freshwater. I have heard of freshwater pearls, so I'm not so surprised. How many kinds are there? I am not sure as to the number but I do know that some crustaceans that are enjoyed by diners are lobster, shrimp, and crabs. Are crawfish from fresh water? Yes, crawfish are found in freshwater and they resemble small lobsters. In the South I believe they are called crawdads. Crawdads is a term that is used to refer to crayfish although I'm not sure if it's limited to the south. I just saw an ad for Red Lobster where they have them on the menu! Amazing! They used to be low class seafood.
[ "In most dishes, such as bisques, etouffees and soups, chefs will only use the tail portion." ]
I like to Hike! I used to hike with my baby
[ "I don't live by any mountains, but there are bike paths and nature trails I walk on for execise and health benefits." ]
Hey! I love to swim. What about you? Swimming is the self propulsion of a person through water, usually for recreaton, sport or excercise. Have you swam before? Yeah, I said I love to swim! My favorite it outside in a pond in the summer time. What about you? I like to swim but one time i almost drowned so i stay closer to the sallow end and tend to not swim much after that sadly. But little fact humans can hold their breath underwater and undertake rudimentary locomotive swimming within a few weeks after birth. It's an evolutionary thing. Wow, really? That's crazy. I started swimming lesson when I was young, but not that young! Yeah and swimming is loved so much its consistently among the top public recreational activities. In some countries swimming lessons are a compulsory part of the educational system. I think that's pretty cool. I never knew that before! Although I think it's a very important skill to have. I mean, if there's ever a boating accident non swimmers tend to panic which is really dangerous for people helping.
[ "True true. But on average the body has a relative density of .98 and i believe water's density is around 1 so that causes the human body to float on water (there are many factors affecting this but this is just a general fact)." ]
Hi, I'm a retired school teacher. Do you have any experience with retirement? Oh yeah, I've planned extensively for when I will stop employment entirely! That's good, planning is key to successful retirement. Without proper management of a pension or other resource it is very difficult.

I really enjoy candles and the ambiance the light creates compared to electric lights. It is a really soft and relaxing light! Some people even use candles as a method of keeping time. Really? Who are these people and why would they have to use candles as time keepers? I'd imagine it was a long time ago, when we didn't have any better methods of telling time. Now it's used for aesthetics or producing heat. Candlelit dining is the best. There isn't anything to compare. I don't think I would want to use candles as a heating source. Would need a lot! Oh yes, I agree! Candle manufacturers are traditionally known as a chandler. Did not know that fact. I know scented candles are a big deal too. I only like light scents and not when eating.
[ "I can imagine why, it'd be a little weird while eating! Also, candles have a long history, they were made by Romans around 500 BC." ]
Radiology is a fascinating field. Do you know it? I know a bit about it. It's a science that uses medical imaging to diagnose or treat diseases. I bet it's used to save lives every single day!

Divorce is a rough thing to go through. Yes it is, reasons for he divorce vary though, from sexual incompatibility, or lack of independence. That's interesting that you say lack of independence. Why? One or both spouses could have personality clashes. one or the other might want to hang out with just their friends more than the other partner. I see. I would say infidelity is a big problem as well.
[ "I would think so as well. Most people want exclusivity and these expectations are not always met." ]

I lovee them as well, they are so delicious you have to try them with some mexican salsa and you will be stuned I will have to try that. I love mine with beef and cheese, but they can also be made with pork, chicken, seafood, and vegetables. that is so interesting, could you tell me more about the history of tacos? The origins aren't really known and etymologies for the culinary usage of the word taco are mostly theoretical. wow you seem to know a lot about tacos, to you consume a lot of them?
[ "Not really. One of the theories of the origin is that the meaning derive from its meaning of \"plug\" employed among Mexican silver miners." ]
I love chocolate! I could eat it until I explode. I love it too! Chocolate is usually sweet and brown in color True unless it is white chocolate, do you know why the color is different? Im not sure what makes it white but it is made in the form of liquid pastes or blocks and can be used to flavor ingrediants I love white chocolate too, specially white Toblerone. What is your favorite chocolate? i like the peanut m&ms theyre a peanuted covered in chocolate with a candy shell Sound good, but I prefer my chocolate and peanut butter separated. I like Lindts a lot, among many others.
[ "how do you feel about the popular reeses cups in america? They have milk, chocolate and peanut butter." ]
my weekends are filled with bird watching. I like to watch wildlife as a recreational activity. Do you ever watch birds. I can't say I have, would you recommend it? What are some cool birds you've seen? It's fun because you can do it with the naked eye or just binoculars. I like watching blue jays. They're very colorful and you can feed them by hand. Oh how sweet. I bet that's a great experience! Is there some sort of national competition for bird watching, or no? I have not heard of one! I just go with a local club. It's nice because the hobby involves a large auditory component to identify the birds as well. We have a blind guy who comes with us. A blind guy? How does that work, haha? Well, he enjoys hearing the birds. There's a big social component of bird watching also. Oh I see, that's great that you all enjoy it together :)
[ "Yes it is. The first time it was recorded as an activity was in 1891, then people used the name \"birdwatcher\"." ]

I have a dog that i love so much. But it takes a lot of comittement. Yes, they are alot of work and commitment. They were the first species to ever be domesticated. yes nobody seems to know how long dogs have been with human, at least thousand of years. Do you have a dog? Yes, they say that all dogs originated from wolfs but it is hard to picture my little Mia(chihuahua) coming from the wolf. LOL Yes, I don't believe there are wild dogs by now. But dog races can be so different one from another, Yes, they are now selectively bred for specific characteristics, behaviors, and physical attributes I don;t even know how a grans danes recognize a chihuahua as it own specie, they look so different, I don't believe that happens with other species
[ "yes, its very interesting. Also interesting how attuned dogs are to humans now b/c of being around us for so long." ]
Ugh I hate being the guy amongst my friends who always has to buy the beers Well it's only the most popular drink the the world, after water and tea. Somebody's gotta do it. Yeah but it's not like a case of coors or something, one guy is ok with they, but 2 like specialty craft beers only sold in harris teeter, and one like a beer only sold at Sam's Club I love buying beer at Harris Teeter. It's right there in my hometown of Matthews, North Carolina. Yeah that's the one good thing about having to buy beer at Harris Teeter. It's a pretty clean place and their deli is great. I agree, do you like drinking at pubs or bars? Yes! They typically have all the darn craft brews my friends ask for. It's much easier for me than having to piece the beer selections together myself.

the ocean composes most of the planets hydrosphere I knew it was a lot - the oceans are still so unexplored 97 % of the world is water, it will take many more years to find everything , i bet theres many undiscoverd fish in there I'm sure there are - it's just so undiscovered. I wouldn't be surprised to find one of those Megaladons one of these days. so far they have only discovered 230,000 species , they believe there is 2 million undiscovered species Or more! It's just so fascinating to me - at one point my daughter wanted to be a marine biologist - I would have loved that career.
[ "all the areas in the ocean are pacific, atlantic, artic and pacific" ]
I love chickens! They're one of my favorite animals, and it one of the most common and widespread domestic animal. Chickens are awesome! And they make really good pets. I agree! .Studies have shown that the chicken has originated in the Indian subcontinent. I didn't know that. They are very common in North America now, but mostly for food.

I just learned that the word comes from the Greek "many" and Latin "love"? Yes of course! It's based on the fact that the people in the relationship take on more than one partner. Some husbands can have 3 or 4 wives. Crazy right? So interesting!

President Trump just announce a new branch called the Space Force yesterday. I heard about that! Do you think the Space Force will fight aliens? Or attack countries in space? LOL. My guess would be a space fight against other countries. The President is the commander-in-chief of all our armed forces. And the Department of Defense really impliments his plans. It is really interesting to me how the President automatically becomes commander-in-chief, even without any military experience.
[ "That is part of the role of the President. Thankfully, though commander-in-chief, most Presidents rely on their military leaders to assist in planning and give direction. Ultimately, however, all decisions of the military come down to the commander-in-chief" ]

I really love Dr. Pepper! Do you like it? I love Dr Pepper, a carbonated soft drink, which has been marketed as having a unique flavor. I haven't had one years though! Does it have caffeine in it?

I know they were introduced in 2006 and shared the E150 platform with the Corolla. I'm actually not sure which generation it was. I don't know much about their history. For the first generation only, they had a more luxurious Auris named Toyota Blade, but it was in Japan. Oh, so it was exclusive in Japan? That's really interesting. What else do you know about it?

The cows were basically isolated on the island of Japan until 1854 so there was no possibility of foreign genes getting into the cattle population. That's insane. It must have great texture.
[ "There are actually four separate strains of Kobe beef depending on what type of foreign cattle influenced the hybrids. They're all delicious!" ]

I used to live in an apartment, but moved to a home. Have you ever lived in an apartment? I lived in multiple apartments when I was in school. I lived in a complex as well as a self-contained housing unit The last apartment I lived in was huge and had a great pool and a gym. Did your apartment complex have a pool? It did. I prefer having a landlord over a complex management though We bought a home and prefer single-family living much better. I really prefer not having to tote groceries up 3 flights of stairs. Apartments are called "flats" in the UK which I find to be charming. Apartment buildings can also be called complexes, flat complexes, tower block, high-rise, or mansion block I've lived in studio style apartments before, when I was in college.

What do you like in your burritos? literally everything in mexican cuisine you can fit in it from salsa to beans to meat etc lol. and a burrito is wrapped into a closed ended cylinder as opposed to a taco, tacos are only folded around the fillings.

My dad has two German Shepherds. I do not know anything about that breed except they are much bigger than my dogs. I had one growing up, we called him Max. They have alot of health issues, the breed originally came from Germany. What kind of health issues? They have problems with their hips alot, when theyre oldder especially. Their official name is German Sheperd Dog(GSD) Are the hip problems genetic or due to their height and weight? More so because of their height and weight. The breed was also known as Alsatian in Britain and Ireland. That's an interesting name - I wonder how it changed to German Shephard in the US. The breed is still considered a new breed. They originiated in 1899 I know they are fiercely protective, but also seem like big teddy bears to those that have raised them.
[ "They are very sweet dogs. They are a part of the herding group on dogs, they were supposed to be used for herding sheep." ]

I would love to cross Parachuting off my bucket list. Have you been? Just the once. I did it to raise money for a very special charity. It is amazing. It involves more or less free-falling for a set period before the parachute opens. That feeling is a so amazing!!! Yes I think I would love it better than sky diving lol. That is the feeling I would to experience I've been looking at Palm Jumeirah, United Arab Emirates with Skydive Dubai Def look into it. I could not recommend it more. It is a fascinating subject on a whole. The first intentional freefall jump with parachute was first completed in 1919. Can you believe it, nearly 100 years ago. Yes that is amazing and very interesting facts. I think I will definitely look into it and Dubai looks amazing anyway so I do not think I would be mad if I didn't even parachute. I have never been but it would be somewhere that I would love to travel to. Make sure you check out the accelerated freefall method they do, it sounds pretty fantastic. Oooh that does sound extremely fantastic, it's making me very excited. I have been doing a lot of research I wasn't aware that in Utah, the US government used to launch monkeys off of a cliff with a parachute to test airplane ejection seats. Oh my goodness really? I have never heard that. An interesting fact that I can add is that the military developed parachuting technology to save aircrews from emergencies aboard balloons and aircraft in flight, and later as a way of delivering soldiers to the battlefield Isn't that horrible? That is a really interesting fact.
[ "Indeed. The history of parachuting is pretty gruesome but fascinating none the less!" ]
I found my dog at a local animal shelter. It is a place where lost or abandoned pets are taken care of. Did you visit different animal shelters to find the perfect one? You have to go into an open mind when going to a shelter. Yes, I visited several no-kill shelters before finding the one that had my dog. The no-kill shelters do not euthanize animals. It's a shame that kill shelters even exist. I agree. No-kill shelters ask for more volunteers to help in order to keep costs at a minimum. I wish every shelter was like that. I know they also take donations such as food and bedding for the animals on a regular basis.
[ "Yes, and a frequent benchmark is to keep 90% of animals alive. Some may be old or too injured to survive." ]
I will be moving to Kentucky soon to go to college! Have you ever been there?

It seems like my allergies are flaring up lately, since we're in the late summer and we've been getting tons of rain. Same here. I have bad hay fever cos of the aspen fluffs. Allergies also include food allergies, dermatitis, asthma, and anaphylaxis I'm allergic to Septra. Do you know what causes allergies to medications? Could be environmental or genetic. In any case, an allergy is always your body's immune system over-responding to a perceived threat Maybe I have a weak immune system. They are always so bad when the seasons change!
[ "No it's the opposite - means your immune system is too strong and vigilant. Season change is common - a lot of people are allergic to pollen" ]

I don't know how well they can fly - I do know that they nest in tree hollows and lay white eggs Interesting! I wonder how they are able to repeat what people say. It's a mystery to me! There is quite a variety of parrots is in South America and Australasia. Oh really? How many kinds?
[ "I don't know how many are in those countries, but overall there are roughly 393 species in 92 genera" ]

[ "I don't know all recipes that can be made with Kale. It a vegetable that is easy to grow and provided important nutrients" ]
Hey, I love to visit India often. Have you ever been there? No but my dad just came back from a visit for his company there. It's really crowded; over 1.2 billion people! Yes, It's very crazy if you're not used to it! I visited a big Baha'i Lotus Temple in New Delhi. Cool! There are millions of Baha''i's in India, a lot more from when it first was established in 1844.

There was a time when NBC had mystery movie night. They were produced by Universal Studios, like 1971 to 1977. You're probably too young to remember that A little bit, but I have gone back and watched some of those older mysteries.

It was like a romantic comedy/drama/detective type show. It was Reminton Steele. I loved that show! Did you every watch moonlighting with Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis. They were private detectives. You should try to watch it if you ever have a chance I have not seen that one, but I love the sound of it. Next time I'm at the Library I will see if they have it.

I've actually never heard of handicrafts. I just meant making little hats and what not. I'm more of a hands on person, I don't use a machine even though that's what's led to the mass production of so many sewn objects. I've always wanted to learn to use a sewing machine. I'm the first generation that doesn't know how to sew. It's so convenient, because it eliminates the need for needles and thimbles, but it just doesn't have the same feel to me.

I would not want to live there in a hurricane though. It has a man-made infrastructure, such as lifeguard posts, changing rooms, and showers.

I've been thinking about getting into birdwatching, but I'm worried that people will see me as a huge nerd. Any advice? Birdwatching is the observation of birds as a recreational activity. Who cares what people think! I know, right? Tell me, what's the difference between birdwatching and like, ornithology? Aren't they the same thing? Ornithology is actually a branch of zoology that focuses on the study of birds. Ah, so birdwatching is definitely for the casual person. Why is it that it's such an "old person" hobby? Feel like I only ever see the elderly do it. I really don't know. Birdwatching actually takes a significant amount of hearing ability since finding a lot of bird species require hearing more than the ye. Ah true, and I guess being able to distinguish among lots of different types of birds. Speaking of which, how many different kinds are there? There are approximately 10000 living species of birds.

Although a little clingy at times Well they ate called house cats because they are indoor pets and are different from felines. They are just domesticated felines, I don't think it makes them an entirely different group of species. They are "Felis silvestris catus" or "Felis catus." Small, carnivorous mammals. Yes, but a feline nevertheless. It contradicts what you said before. Cat registries have more than 70 recognize cat breeds. Mine is a ginger domestic short hair. What breed is yours?
