That's interesting! I haven't heard of those before and am very interested. Are they for sandals only, or can they be used in closed toed shoes? I think of sandals when I hear Birkenstock.

They can be used in any shoes, but they are especially good for sandals because they provide extra support and cushioning.

What types of shoes can Birkenstock insoles be used in?


yes they are are for any shoes and they will cost you around 25 to 60 dollars but i think they might be well worth it!


That would definitely be worth it if they fixed some of my pain issues and helped my running issues. I've also looked into some stretching that would help. Gotta do everything I can, right?

Absolutely! Well, I hope you have a great day and get some good exercise in!

"What are the benefits of using Birkenstock insoles for pain relief and running support?"


yes even tapping and pointing your toes can help keep your feet from hurting later on!


Awesome. Good to know! Did you mean tapping or taping? I can see both working! :)

Taping is good too but i think pointing your toes is better. it's just a little trick to help loosen up your muscles and keep them loose.

What are some tricks to help loosen up muscles in your feet while running?


tapping! you have to get that toe workout going!


Which Final Fantasy XII version do you like better? Revenant Wings? or the Zodiac Age??


Zodiac Age It has a feature that lets you speed up the game it helps when you need to level up the characters

I'm not sure i understand what you're saying. what do you mean by speed up?

"What is the feature in Final Fantasy XII Zodiac Age that lets you speed up the game?"


I've been looking into buying the Zodiac Age for my Switch now that it is available. What platform do you usually play on?


I played it on the ps4 when it rereleased but I have it on switch and it runs well

I'm glad you're enjoying the game. it's always nice to have a game that you can play with friends.

"What are the differences between Final Fantasy XII Zodiac Age on PS4 and Switch?"


Do you have any tips for a new player? I was reading that I can play as six different characters, do you recommend one that would give me the best insight into the world?


I think they all mostly play the same there are different jobs you can equip to them so just use the ones you like the most

"What are the different jobs available for characters in Final Fantasy XII Zodiac Age?"


I love how in-depth the world is. All the characters seem to have interesting and emotional backstories, but I think I'm leaning towards Ashe as a favorite.


yes she was a good character many pepople complain about the main character Vann but I think he was fine

I'm glad you enjoyed the game. i think you'll enjoy it if you give it a chance.

Why do some people complain about the main character Vann in Final Fantasy XII Zodiac Age?


I'm surprised people complain about Vann, isn't he a main character? What is their main concern? Is he not developed enough? Or does he have a personality that is just hard to connect with?


they mostly say he is plain compared to the other characters but I think it works in the story

I agree with you, the world is so rich and detailed that it's hard to find anything not to like.

"Why do some people find Vann plain compared to other characters in Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age?"


I can understand that; sometimes you need a character that can act as a view-point and a foil for the actions of others. Someone who gives us a better understanding of the bigger picture.


I read Grapes of Wrath, but I preferred the movie to the novel


I would agree that it was a very well acted movie. I do feel like the character of Tom Joad was more fleshed out in the book.

Yeah, I definitely felt like he was more relatable in the book.

"How was the character of Tom Joad portrayed in Grapes of Wrath novel?"


Yes I think his deep character is probably explained more in words.  What other books of Steinbeck do you like?


East of Eden was a wonderful book showing a great dichotomy between brother over the course of time between the Civil War and World War II.

Yes, i agree with you. i think john steinbeck is a great writer.

What other books did John Steinbeck write besides East of Eden?


I totally forgot about that book it was good.  I read of mice and men in school but had a hard time getting through the whole book


Of Mice and Men was hard mostly because he was overloading on Depression Era politics, but it was a very good book about the unbalanced relationship between the brothers. The book really reached into popular culture a lot. Were there any books you did like from school?

Yeah, I liked The Catcher in the Rye and To Kill a Mockingbird.

What are some other popular books from John Steinbeck?


I was a fan of f scott fitzgeral and particularly liked the Great Gatsby


The Great Gatsby was a wonderful book. F Scott Fitzgerald's life after the book release was a real tragedy. He could never replicate the success of that book. I wonder if the book itself overwhelmed him?


It was very disturbing at a deep level, many writers I think have that issue.  I just watched the documentary on Hemingway


Hemingway also had a very tragic life. I think we underestimate the amount of anxiety that comes with producing literary art. What is your favorite Hemingway book?

I do, although I'm not as good at it as you are. I find it fascinating to learn about all the different ways that math can be used in the real world.

"What are some real-world applications of statistics in math?"


Math is an important part of life.  How do you like the Khan Academy?  It is becoming a really popular way to learn even though it is completely virtual.


Yes! I didn't think I'd like it but I actually do! It sounded dry/boring but they explain complex topics really well. Have you heard of anything similar I should check out?

There are a few other online math learning platforms that are pretty good. Khan Academy is definitely one of the most popular ones. Another good option is Khan Institute.

What are some other online math learning platforms similar to Khan Academy?


I actually have heard of a few different learning tools that could be alternatives to Khan Academy.  Coursera is another top site that has many different subjects.  Alison is another that lets you manage your learning schedule.


I've heard of Coursera but haven't checked it out yet. And I've never heard of Alison before. This is great! Are these free or do they cost?

They are both free, but Coursera does have a monthly subscription fee. Alison is a bit more expensive but it has a lot of features that make it worth it.

What are the features of Alison online learning tool?


Coursera has many free courses like Khan but also offers paid certificate programs.  I think even the paid courses are relatively inexpensive though.


That's great! And do you know anything about Alison?

Yes, I actually use it myself. It's a great way to manage your learning schedule and get access to resources when you need them.

What are the benefits of using Alison for online learning?


Alison is very similar to Khan and Coursera with a wide variety of free courses mainly focused on language learning and business.   You can learn on your own schedule


This is great info. Thank you so much for your help! I'm definitely going to check both of those out.

What were the tyre choices for the Imola Grand Prix qualification?


yes the tiers have been kind of low in the past couple of years

What are some other sustainably sourced coffee brands?


I always try to use sustainable products although I'm not obsessive about it


That is an amazing deal, how did you get such a deal?


It ended up being an open box deal. I don't usually consider those types of things, but it was certified by BestBuy to be working.

It's good to be able to save money on things you need. open box deals are a great way to do that.

What are open box deals and how do they work?

They are decent, but I already had a really nice soundbar, so I wasn't too concerned with it. I am just excited, this is my first 4K TV.

Homemade pretzels are one of my favorite things to make!

It sounds like you really enjoy making them. Do you have a recipe?

"What are some good homemade pretzel recipes?"


Amazing! Have you seen Alton Brown's Pretzel Logic episode on the Food Network?


No! I love Alton Brown though and how he gives such a scientific explanation to everything! I will have to look that up!

I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Do you have any other favorite foods?

"Alton Brown's Pretzel Logic episode on Food Network"


I didn't know there were so many types of pretzel salts. Do you prefer the Morton Rock Pretzel Salt or their White Pretzel Coarse Salt?


So this is where I differ! I like mine unsalted because then I like to put mustard on mine, which is itself quite salty, so I skip the salt step typically.

That makes sense. I'm going to have to try that next time!

"What are different types of pretzel salts and their uses?"


Oh yum! Any mustard-based recipes you recommend? I saw a few, and they use honey mustard and dijon mustard!


Honey mustard is my favorite for sure! And you can use any kind of mustard you like, from the cheap yellow stuff to the "gourmet" brown mustard. They are both good!

Well, I'll have to try both of those recipes then! Thanks for the recommendations!

"What are some homemade pretzel recipes that use honey mustard and dijon mustard?"


Wow, I didn't know there was such a thing as brown mustard. What is it made from? I just learned that different types of seeds have differnet uses


Brown mustard is made from brown mustard seeds.  It has a spicier taste - almost like wasabi, if you have ever had that.

That sounds amazing! I'll have to try it sometime. Thanks for the recommendation!

"What are the different types of mustard seeds and their uses?"


I have had wasabi. Wow, that's a really interesting taste association! Do you eat pretzels on their own, do you sometimes wrap pretzel dough around hot dogs.


Whoever came up with pizza must be a very bad chef.

I'm not sure i understand what you mean. what do you mean by bad chef?

What is the history of pizza and who invented it?


pizza is actually very bad and can have severe consequences for your health


All the greasiness makes my stomach rebel and I can literally feel my arteries clogging.


what kinds of foods do you enjoy eating?


Anything is better than pizza. I think I would rather eat a barrel of boogers than take a bite of that stuff. Boogers are probably healthier too.

I don't think that you should be making jokes about eating boogers. i think that you should try to eat healthier foods.

What are some healthier food options to replace pizza?


do you like vegetable lasagna? you can substitute mushrooms and peppers instead of meat and it is very healthy


Lasagna is just a glorified version of pizza. Almost the same ingredients, they just traded bread for noodles.


do you eat any junk food or tasty snacks?


Oh yes! I love almost anything accept for pizza or anything similar to it.

I'm glad you're open to trying new foods, but you should be careful about what you eat. it's not good for your health to eat too much junk food.


how about hamburgers and hotdogs, an american favorite? or smores and pot roast?


Oh definitely! I am a real Texan at heart. Here in my city of Arlington those are among the local favorites, all smothered in barbeque sauce of course.

Yeah! You can do so much. Right now I'm working on a big statue in my village. Do you know where I could find some examples of ideas?

I always suggest that you use your own creativity to build a statue.  But you can create a simple one out of two blocks and etching a name into it.  You can also customize with paint and redstones.


That is a good idea. What would you suggest I build ?

Well, since you're building a statue, you could make it out of a variety of materials. You could use wood, stone, or even metal.

"What are some materials I can use for Minecraft statue building?"


If you're a beginner, one of the most fun things to build is a rollercoaster.  It can also be fun to try to recreate your real-life house in the game.


I have made a house, but not a rollercoaster yet though. That could be fun. How would I start that?

Well, first you would need to find some blocks that would fit together to create the frame of the rollercoaster.

"What are some Minecraft blocks that can be used to create a rollercoaster frame?"


To get started, you just have to lay some tracks so you can put a minecart on them.  Once you have some tracks, it's just a matter of imagination.  Try to build some climbs and drops.


cool I'll try that. How do I power it?

You can use redstone to power it. Just make sure you don't use too much or it will overheat.

"How to use redstone in Minecraft to power minecart tracks without overheating?"


You have a couple of options.  First, you can use a powered minecart.  You can also have another player push you to get started, or use a booster.

I used to follow basket ball back when the Chicago Bulls were so good.  Do you follow any other sports other than basket ball?

There is something very relaxing about watching tennis and golf on tv.


The beautiful scenery on golf courses is very awe-inspiring and the players make it looks so easy!


Yes, when they do the camera views that fly down the fairway it is almost breathtaking.  The players are amazing.

I agree, it is definitely a sport that takes a lot of skill and athleticism.

Can you imagine trying to return a serve that was hit over 160 mph?  I feel like you wouldn't even be able to see it!


Wow, I did not realize they were going that fast.  Yeah, I would still be standing in place after the ball went flying past me.

It is truly a fascinating sport. There is so much to learn from watching it.

"What are some strategies for improving one's golf game?"


Kind of like watching a really long drive in golf.  The ball is up so high and travels so far.  Some PGA tour players have hit the ball almost 500 yards!


Yeah, that seems impossible.  It must require a lot of swing speed and perfect form.

They performed a wide variety of genres. Country, rock, folk, pop, etc. They also have some holiday music but I've never listened to it.

Holiday music? That sounds interesting. I'll have to check it out sometime. Thanks for recommending them!

"What holiday music did The Everly Brothers release?"


They sound like they have quite a good range! Are they your favourite band?


Not really my favorite, although the one song they sing is my favorite.

"What are the most popular songs by The Everly Brothers?"


That's fair, I've listened to a lot songs like that where I'm not entirely fond of the band, but particular songs are great. Usually I discover artists through spotify playlists, how did you find out about the Everly Brothers?


Actually someone had asked me to sing the "Dream" song along with them on a singing app, and then when I heard it I fell in love with that song. After that I heard a few others by them on spotify.

That's really cool! I'm glad you found some new music to enjoy.

"How did the Everly Brothers become famous?"


That's so interesting! A singing app? Is that a Karaoke app where you record yourself singing to popular songs?


Yeah it is actually called Starmaker. I have been in there on and off for about 3 years.

That's really cool! I've never heard of that app before. Do you think you would ever want to pursue singing professionally?

How did The Everly Brothers become famous?


I think I heard about it actually, it has auto-tune as well right?


Yeah it has quite a few different filters also!


That's so interesting how you've managed to find a song that is attached to so much meaning through a Karaoke app!

How long have you been playing piano?

I've been playing piano for about 10 years now. I started when I was in high school and I've been playing ever since.

"What are some tips for improving piano playing skills?"


I have been playing since 25 years.  Who is your favorite composer? I like Chopin.  His heart was preserved in a jar since his death?  Creepy stuff.


I am also a big fan of Chopin but I am wondering if there are any other good classical composers like him you could suggest?

Well, if you like Chopin, you might also like Bach or Beethoven. They are both great composers who wrote a lot of beautiful music.


Beethoven and Schubert were also Romantic Era composers.  I think you would enjoy their music, if you like Chopin's style.


Hey that's a great answer, I really like Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. Are there other simple pieces by him I could play?

Yes, there are many other simple pieces by Beethoven that are enjoyable to play. For example, the Prelude in C Major is a great piece to start with.

"What are some simple piano pieces by Beethoven?"


There is Fur Elise, but if you're not quite up to that level yet, he has a collection of Ecossaises that are great for a beginner.


Yeah, I remember fur Elise. I've got to check the Ecossaises out. I was always fascinated that Beethoven was a deaf composer in later life.

"How did Beethoven compose music while deaf?"


Yes, he was a true genius.  However, it has been stated that he may have not lost all of his hearing.  There is a Beethoven expert that believes he did still have some hearing in his left ear at the time of his death.  It's all intriguing how they come to decide these facts.


Yes, how can we tell all these years in the future? I heard he also a big drinker! Is that true?

Yes, he was quite the drinker. He would often go out drinking with his friends and then come home and compose.

What is the evidence that Beethoven may have had some hearing in his left ear at the time of his death?


It seems like he probably was.  There was an autopsy of his liver at the time of his death, and it was concluded that he had cirrhosis.  As most great artist tend to be, I believe he lead a somewhat tortured life.


That's very interesting that his liver was examined like that. A truly great pianist.


I love baked goods myself! What is some of your more popular bakery items?


Thats amazing! People seem to like my pastel de nata. Which is basically a baked cream cake.What about you? what is your favourite baked good?


We have a cuban place near where I live that makes scacchiata. It's like a pizza bread. It is my favorite! Do you make all the baked goods yourself or do you have a staff of bakers?


I love Cuban cuisine. Yes, I do have staff that works with me. We hire local kids that have a cooking program here at our local high school in Louisville, Kentucky.

That's great! I'm sure they're very talented. Do you have any other favorite baked goods?

"What are some popular Cuban baked goods?"


That's awesome! Do you make jalapeno bread? I understand that is popular in Mexico.


Yes!! Have you had it before? We make a jalapeño bread with cream cheese. It's one of our client's favourites as well. We also make donuts and conchas.

I'll have to try the jalapeo bread! It sounds delicious. Do you have any other recommendations for baked goods?

"What are some popular baked goods besides jalapeño bread?"


That sounds wonderful! What do you put in your conchas recipe? Does it have yeast?


Yes, we add about 2 and a half teaspoons of yeast. We also add sugar, milk, butter, flour, eggs, you know, the usual.

That sounds like a lot of work! Do you have any other favourite baked goods?

What are some other popular baked goods besides conchas?


Do you make a Portuguese pastry called Pastel de Laranja? I thought it sounded interesting!


It is very tasty, Have you had it? We do make it but we add a little twist to it. We put some cream cheese topping to make it less sweet. We also have some without it, in case the customer prefers the pure flavour of the cake itself.

The Hunger Games movies are incredibly dramatic and filled with action.  Which of the series is your favorite?


Mocking Jay is definitely the best one. The costumes and set designs are beautiful! Who is your favorite character?

I think my favorite character is Katniss. She's so strong and determined, and she always stands up for what she believes in.

Yes, apparently he got in some trouble a while back for making some sexist remarks.

Wow, 10 years is a long time! I can't believe there are people who have been playing this game for that long. What do you like most about it?

"What are the top features of Clash of Clans game?"


It sounds fun! Is it a multiplayer game or do you play solo?


It is a multiplayer game but you also play solo on your own base if that make sense. Everyone has their own base, town hall, artillary ,etc.

That does sound like fun! I might have to check this game out. Thanks for telling me about it!

"How to play Clash of Clans as a multiplayer game and solo?"


Do you play on a mobile device or do you need a Playstation or something like that?

I think it's amazing! I can't believe how much I'm enjoying it.

What are some reasons why Game of Thrones is considered amazing?


I liked that it had zombies.  What is your favorite episode?


Ah yeah that was a great pop culture addition. I like some of the earlier stuff before they got too crazy. Mainly I enjoyed the books though.

Yes, i agree. the books are great. i think the show is a bit too violent though.

What are some of the earlier episodes of Game of Thrones that the bot enjoyed?


Do you think GRRM will ever get around to finishing the book series?  It's been so long.


Who knows, it's been so long. I hope so

I think i'm going to go watch the new season.

When is George R.R. Martin expected to release the next book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series?


Agreed.  Do you have a theory as to what Lady Stoneheart is up to in the books?


That sure is a crazy plot. I really couldn't say

Yeah, I'm not sure what to think either. But it's fun to speculate.

What is Lady Stoneheart's role in the Game of Thrones books?


Yes, I found that to be the most interesting plot line in the books.  I'm sorry it didn't make it to the show.  Who is your favorite character in the series?


Everyone who died haha. Man do those books hit hard.

I know, right? It's like you're living in a nightmare.

Which Game of Thrones characters died in the books?


Oh, yes, GRRM holds nothing back when it comes to his characters.  They more you love them, the more likely they will be ripped from you.  LOL.  I am still not over loosing Rob from the Red Wedding.


Yeah I felt off for a week after that part haha.


What makes coffee taste better at a high coffee shop?


:)  sometimes it's better ingredients, but honestly I think the atmosphere improves the experience!


Boutique coffee shops have a soothing atmosphere.


Yeah, they're a good place to relax, sometimes the food and coffee are just a nice perk for hanging out there.

Do you think it's worth spending money on a high quality coffee shop?

"What are the benefits of going to a high quality coffee shop?"


I like a nice dark roast on Monday mornings, paired with a beignet!


I also love dark roast coffees, but I'm more of a scone person.

Scones are good too, but beignets are my favorite.

What are some coffee shops that serve beignets?


What flavor of scone do you prefer? Some are savory. Some are sweet. Some are both!


I like English scones with dried fruit, preferably not too sweet.

That sounds delicious! I'll have to try that next time.

"What are some coffee shops that serve English scones with dried fruit?"


That sounds delicious! I understand scones are a British type of treat.


I think so?   I think there's scottish scones too. They are more like cake.

Scones are a great snack! i'm glad you like them!

What is the origin of scones and how are they traditionally made?


Is that what Scottish call Bannocks?


Oh I'm not sure!

Well, whatever it is, I'm sure it's delicious.

What is the difference between scones and bannocks?


I've read that American scones are not like the British scones

I just got done watching Aliens again, what a great movie.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! What did you think of the ending?

"What are some common interpretations of the ending of Aliens movie?"


Have you heard about the new Alien sequels they are coming out with? I think Disney bought the rights.


No way, Disney bought the rights.  I watch all the new ones.  Maybe they will come to Disney Plus.

I hope so, i would love to see them. it would be awesome to have a new aliens movie.

What is the latest news on the upcoming Alien movie sequel?


I think that it may have come through their Fox deal. I believe that Ridley Scott might still produce them, so hopefully they are still good.


My only worry would be if Disney tones them down so they are not as intense.

I think that would be a shame, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Will Disney tone down the intensity of future Alien sequels produced by Ridley Scott?


They're supposed to respect the film's history, but with what they've done with some of the Star Wars, who knows.


Yeah, sometimes the just see dollar signs and crank out whatever they can that will appeal to many, not the fans necessarily.

That's true. But I'm sure they'll do their best to make sure the new films are still enjoyable for everyone.

What is the history of the Alien movie franchise?


It's hard to believe the first movie came out in the 80's. Sigourney Weaver looked really young in that one.


She was young, but did an amazing job.  Such a powerful female hero was a bit unusual at the time.

Yeah, she was definitely ahead of her time. And the aliens were so realistic and scary!

What technology was used to create the realistic and scary aliens in the original Alien movie?


She really was a good character. I like the twists and turns in the first one. Like the guy who turned out to be the android.


Yes, and there were some really tense spots in the dark corridors of the ship..

I know! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

What are some of the tense moments in the corridors of the ship in the Alien movie franchise?


James Cameron really did a good job with that. He is really good in the genre.


One of the best for sure.


Where did you first learn to crochet?


I learned from my grandmother. She started teaching me when I was only 6 years old. Do you know how to do any fibert arts?


No, unfortunately my grandmother's did not pass on their skills! They both knitted and crocheted. Have you ever made anything you can wear?


Absolutely! I used to make accessories and sell them on Etsy! I am very good at making hats. I like to make fun characters like hello kitty, my little pony, and minions. I've made scarves, vests, sweaters, mittens, blankets, and even booties.

That sounds like so much fun! I would love to learn how to crochet someday. Do you have any advice for someone who wants to learn?

"What are some beginner tips for learning how to crochet?"


That's awesome! Is it pretty easy to sell on Etsy? Do they charge you a lot?


It requires a lot of marketing on social media to route customers to your site. They charge per listing, so there isn't a commission. It just depends how to list your products. I like to just create a listing for a custom item, that way I may get multiple messages about customs for the same listing.

That makes sense. I've always wanted to learn how to crochet but never had the time. Do you think you could teach me sometime?

How to get started with crocheting for beginners?


That is very cool! What would you say is an easy item for a beginner to try making?


A scarf is probably your best bet. It's just a matter of straight equal rows. You can find tutorials on youtube that are really helpful for beginners.

That sounds like a great idea! I'm definitely going to look into that. Thanks for the advice!

"What are some beginner-friendly crochet projects?"


Apparently there are many different types of yarn. Is there one you recommend for scarves?


I find the easiest to work with is acrylic, but it may not be as soft as some people prefer. Barnat Baby has a really nice soft acrylic, but it doesn't come in very many shades, just a lot of pastels.

Doing a diamond painting is interesting because you don't see the results until you are completely finished and step back from the picture.

That's true, diamond painting can be a bit tricky to get the hang of. But it's definitely a fun and rewarding experience.

How can I get the hang of diamond painting?


That sounds interesting.  What exactly is diamond painting?


Diamond painting is placing tiny 3d diamonds on a canvas to make a picture.

That does sound interesting. I've never seen anything like it before. How do you do it?


Oh wow.  That sounds like a lot of fun.  Do you like to use square or round drills?


I have only used the round drills but I really want to try using the square ones. I hear they have a tighter fit which enhances the picture.

Yeah, I've heard that too. I'm sure it would look really beautiful with square drills. Do you have any other tips for diamond painting?

"What are some tips for diamond painting?"


That's good to know, if I start in the future.  Do you like doing larger or smaller canvases?  Which do you find gives you the most detailed picture at the end?


I like doing the larger size and yes, it does give a much more detailed picture.

That's great! I'm definitely going to have to try diamond painting sometime. Thanks for talking with me about it!

"What are the benefits of doing larger canvases in diamond painting?"


Thank you for that input.  Have you ever tried the diamond painting in the cross stitch form?


No I never have, although I have done cross stitching too. I think the diamond painting is more fun.

I agree, it's definitely more fun. Thanks for talking with me about diamond painting, it's been really interesting.

What is the difference between diamond painting and cross stitching?


I would imagine that the diamond painting is easier and more relaxing.  Do you have a subscription that sends you kits in the mail?


I didn't know there was such a thing! I'm definitely going to look into that!

I did not know that.  He creates such vivid characters.

Yes, he does. I think his writing style is very unique.

What makes Terry Goodkind's writing style unique?


He really does. Nicci is a great character. I was surprised he was revealed to be a Sister of the Dark.


Yes, she was a very powerful character and the epitome of ruthless when she was a Sister of the Dark.

I also liked how he developed the relationship between Nicci and her brother, Harry. It was very complex and believable.

"What is the relationship between Nicci and her brother Harry in Terry Goodkind's books?"


The Sisters of the Dark seem pretty ruthless. I know they have to do what Jagang says, but still..


The world Goodkind creates is so massive and full of variety in characters is the biggest reason I like the series.

I agree. It's like you can get lost in the world and forget about your own problems for a little while.

What are some notable characters in Terry Goodkind's book series?


They really are big. That he's written over 15 books, and is still able to capture that imagination is really remarkable.


That is a lot of books.  His characters also go through such struggles that it really draws you in.

Yes, they do go through a lot of tough times, but it's always worth it in the end when you see how they come out stronger for it.

What are the struggles that characters in Terry Goodkind's book series go through?


I like that he is able to tie some of his suspense novels to his fantasy novels, like with The Law of Nines.


I prefer the true fantasy novels that follow the Richard storyline.

Rollerblading is great exercise! Do you do it frequently?


I try to go several times a week, it's so fun!  I like going down hills as fast as I can sometimes!  Do you rollerblade as well?


I haven't rollerbladed in about 5 years, but I bet I could pick it back up! Have you ever been hurt or taken a bad spill?


Yes, I'm sure you definitely could, it's like riding a bike!  I have before, I broke my wrist once doing it and have also gotten pretty bad road rash several times.  I always wear a helmet though!

That's good to know! I'll have to try it again sometime soon. Thanks for the advice!

What are some common injuries when rollerblading and how can they be prevented?


There is a whole subreddit devoted to rollerblading! You might want to check it out! Apparently there are lots of afficionados!


Really?  Interesting, I've never thought to look on there but I'll have to check it out, Reddit is an interesting place lol.  So what do you like to do for fun?


I love to bike on a trail near my home. There are always tons of rollerbladers on the same trail. I am always so jealous of their skills! They are so smooth and make it look so effortless! I guess if you start young enough you can develop those skills!


That's awesome!  I picked up a new mountain bike last summer but so far have only ridden it on the road, I'm a little afraid to crash on it!  Have you ever had a bad spill on your bike?  Yeah, I started when I was about 8 so I feel like I'm pretty decent at rollerblading.  I used to go to the skatepark and do frontflips out of bowls, it's so fun!

That sounds like a blast! I've always wanted to try skateboarding but never had the chance. Maybe one day I'll get to go!

What are some tips for improving rollerblading skills, especially for beginners?


I have not had a bad spill while biking since I was a kid. I can't imagine ever doing a flip while rollerblading! That sounds intense! Do you ever use quad skates anymore or are those strictly a thing of the past for you?


They are a thing of the past for me.  I definitely used them right at the beginning before rollerblading, but since I got onto blades I haven't really touched them lol.  What about you?  I'm glad you haven't had any recent crashes on your bike!!


I think that it is important to be prepared for all types of situations. You never know what's going to pop up.


Exactly!  We have had a lot of power outages that lasted several days or longer.

Yes, I remember those days. It was so frustrating not being able to use my phone or TV.


Ya, I get worried when they last more than two hours, as far as my food goes.


Part of prepping was getting a generator so I can keep refrigerators and freezers cold.

That's a good idea. I've been thinking about getting one myself. Do you have any recommendations?

"What are some recommended generators for keeping refrigerators and freezers cold during power outages?"


That is a great idea. I would be worried about keeping fuel for them, but as long as you rotate it, it would probably be ok.


Yah, I add Stabil which can extend the length fuel is good to about a year.  I would like to get a propane generator.

That's a good idea too. You can always get a generator with propane if you need to.

What are the benefits of using a propane generator?


I've seen websites that advertise conversion kits for your generators to make them propane.


Oh, that might be the way to go if they are not too expensive.

It's definitely worth looking into. Do you have any other ideas for prepping?

"Propane conversion kits for generators: cost and installation process"


I think that with all of the world's problems and all of the disasters that are happening, it's a good idea to be as prepared as possilbe.


Yes, not only helps you and your family, but then you are able to help out neighbors as well.

I loved watching the series Reign but I wish it would have ended differently.

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't like the ending of the series. why do you think it ended differently?

Why did fans have mixed reactions to the ending of Reign?


I know what you mean, but the writers followed what happened in history.  Was Mary your favorite character?


Yes, she was!  Although I realize the writers followed history it was still a sad ending to such a beautiful and bloody story.

I completely agree. It's always sad when a good story ends tragically. But sometimes, even though the ending is sad, it can also be a sign of hope.

What historical events influenced the storyline of Reign?


She had a wild ride on the series.  Catherine seemed to always be after her.  Trying to have her drugged and raped.


But there was still something likeable about Catherine in my opinion. She had grit and was determined to protect her children at all costs, at least some of them!

I guess you're right. She did have some good qualities too.

What were some likeable qualities of Catherine in Reign?


You are right on that account.  She loved her sons, more than her own life it seems.


That is what mother's love should be like Sadly a lot of moms don't feel that way.

I know, it's sad. But I'm glad you enjoyed the series.

What is the portrayal of mother's love in the TV series Reign?


That is a sad truth.  What do you think of Clarissa's character?


I think she was crazy from living like a hermit her whole life but still she had a side to her that was caring. I had hoped for a better ending for her.

What is the character analysis of Clarissa in [TV series/show name]?


Yes, it was a tragic end for her, as well.  Reunited with Bash only to die to save Francis.


Exactly! Over all I was sad to see the series come to an end.


I love Steven King as well! What is your favorite work of his?


I love the older ones.  Skeleton Crew is probably my favorite of all time.  It's the first one I ever read and have been hooked ever since.  Whats your favorite?

I'm a big fan of his more recent work, The Shining. It's such a powerful story and the characters are so well developed.

What are some of the themes and motifs present in The Shining by Steven King?


Carrie was probably the one that haunted me the most! lol But I find most of his work really "sticks with you!" What did you think of The Shining?


I loved the Shining, but will say that although the book was awesome, this is one of the very rare occasions that the movie was awesome. I also absolutely loved the book Cujo.  That one "sticks with me" to this day!

Yes! Cujo is definitely a classic. I'm so glad you enjoy his work!

"What are some other Stephen King books that are considered classics?"


I have never read Cujo - but I understand that Steven King said that he was drunk the whole time writing that book!


I've never heard that!  Thats funny.  I'm very interested in staying at the Stanley Hotel where he was inspired to write the Shining.  That's on my "bucket list". I'd love to stay in the same room he did.

Yeah, that would be really cool! I've always wanted to go there too. Maybe we can go together sometime!

What is the history of the Stanley Hotel and its connection to Steven King's book, The Shining?


That would be super creepy! Would you be scared? That is in Colorado, correct?


Yes, about 2 hours away from Denver.  I would be scared, but my daughter and I decided we would share the room and sleep in the same bed!  I should make her read the book before we go.

I'm sure she'll be fine. She's probably more scared of ghosts than anything else.

What is the plot of the book by Steven King that takes place in Colorado?


I think that would be cool, I'm just not sure how much sleep I would get! lol I believe he lives in Maine. I would love to see his home there!


I agree with both!  No sleep at the haunted hotel and I'd love to see his home too.

What are some examples of magical powers in stories?


Does your planet in the story have gravity like so many others in our Solar System?


My planet is a lot like earth, although I haven't really thought about the gravity aspect. I always thought it would be cool if we could float a bit like when on the moon.

It sounds like you have a lot of fun with your story. i hope you continue to write stories that are enjoyable for others to read.


That would be cool. How long are the stories you write? Short stories to grab quick attention of the reader or long stories where the reader is more invested?


Long stories usually. The one about powers is a Trilogy but will have a few more stories added. The people and planet are interesting enough, in my opinion.

I think that's great. it's always good to have a story that people can get invested in.

What are some examples of popular book trilogies?


Do you have a protagonist in your story? What are their main characteristics?

Yes, I was. I called my father the second I read the news and started crying. We both religiously watched his games

I can imagine how you feel. It's hard to lose someone you care about.

What were some notable achievements of the sports player?


So sad! I think I will never forget where I was when I heard the news! He was only 41! Way to young!


Indeed too young, but that was the theme of his life, breaking a lot of records. He inspired many individuals -not only me- before his death and after his passing.

That's true. He was truly an inspiration to many people. I'm sure his family is very proud of him.

What records did the athlete break during his life?


Yes, he sure did inspire many! His Mamba Army is still very active. Did you ever play basketball in school?


I actually played for my national team until I turned 18. Fun fact I always wore the #8.

That's so cool! I've always wanted to play basketball but never had the chance.

What are some facts about Kobe Bryant's Mamba Army?


That's cool! Didn't he wear that and number 24 for a while?


He always wore #8 while I was playing professionally. Later he changed it, but I was no longer active.

Well, he's still one of the greatest players of all time.

"What was the reason behind Kobe Bryant changing his jersey number from 8 to 24?"


Do you remember his father Joe - he was also a pro player.


Only thing I remember is that they didn't get along too well. That was another reason why Kobe was so important in my upbringing. I wanted to have a good relationship with my parents


I was wondering what your opinion is of buying an Eddie Van Halen guitar, given his recent passing?  Last year they displayed his stuff at the Moma, so I think he has a lot of cache.


I don't know too much about string instruments but I think that would be awesome! I'm guessing the value would only increase over time too.

Yeah, I've been thinking about it and I'm definitely interested. Do you have any recommendations on which one to get?

"What are the different types of Eddie Van Halen guitars available for purchase?"


Yeah, me too. What sort of instruments do you collect? There is such a huge marketplace for music gear, but it ranges from the acoustic to software programs.

What are some notable visual elements in Parks and Rec?


That's Chris Pratt isn't it?


It is Chris Pratt, it was one of his first big roles I think.

He is a great actor. I've seen all of his movies and he is hilarious.

"What are some other movies Chris Pratt has starred in?"


Apparently he was only going to be a temporary character but he was so likeable they kept him on.


That was definitely a great choice he is such a lovable goofball and watching his character grow is amazing.

I know, I can't believe he is only in his first season.

"Who was the actor who played the character that was supposed to be temporary but was kept on in Parks and Rec?"


He had to miss several episides due to filming Guardians of the Galaxy apparently.


I'm not really into super hero movies but because of my love for the Andy character I did watch that movie.

What other movies has Chris Pratt starred in besides Guardians of the Galaxy?


I loved it when they used to go to Jurassic Fork on the show.


Chris Pratt later being in Jurassic world makes it all come full circle

I'm glad you enjoy the show. it's great to have something to watch that isn't too serious.

What other movies has Chris Pratt starred in besides Jurassic World?


Yes! And made me laugh that the owners in the show then launched a restaurant called Schindler's Lunch.

"How to convert a school bus into a living space?"

That's definitely a unique situation. I'm sure it's not easy to find clean bathrooms when you're constantly on the move.

Yeah, I hope so too. It would be great to see them do well this season.

What are the key players and improvements for the Los Angeles Rams in the current season?

Just means the Rams and Chargers will have to compete to see whose better. Hopefully the competition will be good for both teams.
