G: The first rule of thumb is if you aren't 100 percent sure about something, don't pick it.
T: Didn't you have any guidebooks to help you when you weren't sure?
G: We had an old one with drawings instead of photos, but after a while we learned to rely on our experience and what our parents taught us.
T: I think a hands-on approach is best when you have a good teacher.
G: I'm glad you feel that way because we found our first edible wild plant./ T: Oh, cool! what is it?
J: Come on, Amanda, you need to pick up the pace if we're going to catch our connecting flight.
A: It's no use trying to catch it! The departure gate is on the other side of the airport and we only have five minutes.
J: You're probably right. We still have to catch a train to Terminal C.
A: Then we should find a help desk to see what our options are.
J: We're trying to get to a very small airport. This was the only flight today./ A: We're up a creek without a paddle!
K: The first step toward becoming a morning person is winding down at least an hour before you go to bed.
R: You mean I should turn off the TV, phone, and computer?
K: The blue lights on those screens mimic sunlight, so by turning them off, you set the stage for good sleep.
R: That's going to be a big change. I usually just turn off the light and scroll through social media for a while.
K: That is not helping you./ R: Okey. I'll put my phone on sleep mode at 10:00 tonight.
Dr: Before we talk about any treatment, we're going to clean your teeth thoroughly.
A: I think this is going to hurt because my gums are prone to bleeding.
Dr: Well, that's what flossing is for. You really needs to look after your gums, too.
A: I usually floss when I have something stuck between my teeth.
Dr: Believe it or not, gum disease is linked to heart disease and Alzheimer's.
A: Oh, no! I'm definitely going to start flossing every day now.
T: This is such a simple setup. I thought it would require more than shelves, lights, and plant trays.
B: Well, depending on how much you want to grow, you could add sprinklers and other stuff.
T: So, these are just the bare necessities? Why not get the other things?
B: Since I've only been doing it for about a month, I've been trying to cut down extra costs.
T: That's smart. Why spend extra money if you don't know how well your business will do?/ B: Exactly my thinking.
Most people don't think about vending machines until they see one that dispenses what they might consider very strange items.
The original vending machine is believed to be from the Roman Empire in the first A.D.
One could drop in a coin and walk away with a liter of wine.
From the 20th century to the present day, things like cigarettes, soft drinks, and snacks have been standard fare.
But now, you can also buy items that might raise eyebrows, such as bear meat or live crabs.
While food is the mainstay of most vending machines, several train stations in France print out free short stories for commuters.
