The spray deck makes it possible for suitably skilled kayakers to roll the kayak: that is | Kayaking
Kayaking is the use of a kayak for moving across water. It is distinguished from canoeing by the sitting position of the paddler and the number of blades on the paddle. A kayak is a low-to-the-water, canoe-like boat in which the paddler sits facing forward, legs in front, using a double-bladed paddle to pull front-to-back on one side and then the other in rotation. Most kayaks have closed decks, although sit-on-top and inflatable | 94 | wow-train |
I am a semi retired school teacher
I hope that you had a satisfying career. I understand teaching is no picnic in this day and age.
it is not, and by being semi retired, I just fill in like the substitute, which is almost worse at least I have reduced my work hours
Yes, but the children respect you less and expect that you will just play a movie instead of teaching them anything. Now i feel sorry for you.
well retirement is coming, speaking of that retirement is a recent thing only introduced in the late 19th century early 20th century

In most countries, the idea of retirement is of recent origin, being introduced during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Previously, low life expectancy and the absence of pension arrangements meant that most workers continued to work until death. Germany was the first country to introduce retirement benefits in 1889.
Nowadays, most developed countries have systems to provide pensions on retirement in old age, which may be sponsored by employers or the state. In many poorer | May’s perception of things.

Radiology is fascinating. I might want to work in the field someday.
Radiology is very useful in diagnosing some diseases. What about it interests you?
I suppose that you can noninvasively diagnois problems.
Yeah, it can show the internal human body through images! Very neat!
I think that there will be more and more innovations in the field.
Yes, New ideas are devices are being discovered all the time!
It's too bad that it is so expensive for the patients.
Yeah, it's too bad healthcare in the US is mostly provided by private organizations. I feel it should be public
Me too! I think we need National Health like in Great Britain and Norway, etc. | across the whole country and no proper system of healthcare. Over the next few decades, great progress was made in building up the health sector, with the training of doctors and the creation of many health facilities.

While equipment and medicines may not always be the latest available, staffing levels are high and the country has one of the best healthcare systems in Africa.

I occassionally volunteer in my spare time by giving blood, improving trout streams, or help at food banks. Do you do any volunteer work?
Not at the moment. I would love to donate blood, but not sure if I can. | Volunteering
Volunteering is generally considered an altruistic activity where an individual or group provides services for no financial or social gain "to benefit another person, group or organization". Volunteering is also renowned for skill development and is often intended to promote goodness or to improve human quality of life. Volunteering may have positive benefits for the volunteer as well as for the person or community served. It is also intended to make contacts for possible employment.

My favorite food out of all foods is Pizza! The best Italian dish!
My favorite Italian dish is pasta. I like every kind of pasta.
I love Pizza because I like the combination of tomato sauce and cheese on a flatbread. But I like pasta too, especially Spaghetti!
If I eat pizza I want pepperoni on mine.
Pepperoni is really good. What's funny is Pepperoni is an American variant of salami! Not even Italian. Italian cuisine influenced US food a lot!
I did not know that but it makes sense! Do you like raviolli? | Italian cuisine
Italian cuisine is food typical of Italy. It has developed through centuries of social and economic changes, with roots stretching to antiquity.
Significant changes occurred with the discovery of the New World and the introduction of potatoes, tomatoes, capsicums, maize and sugar beet, this last introduced in quantity in the 18th century.

Sliced pizza is often served along with fainá, made with chickpea flour and baked like pizza. For example, it is common for pasta to be eaten with white bread ("French bread"), which is unusual in Italy. This can be explained by the low cost of bread, and that Uruguayan pasta tends to come together with a large amount of tuco sauce | 98 | wow-train |
I love dogs! We don't currently have a one as a family member, but have always had boxers. How about you?
We have three dogs - I believe pets provide owners with a lot of emotional benefits.
So true. Amazing how in tune they are with our emotions. And of course, now that people can have declared "support animals", that emotional benefit is being normalized.
And they are so good for elderly adults and others that may live alone, providing some social interaction
Have you ever considered taking your dogs into an environment where they can "serve" as emotional support for others? I guess they'd have to be certified in some way...
I think so, I know they use trained animals and handlers to achieve certain goals with patients.
Do your dogs get along well with each other?
They generall do, but we have thought about training for one of them to be a compatible pet as he tends to be too protective

Pets provide their owners (or "guardians") both physical and emotional benefits. Walking a dog can provide both the human and the dog with exercise, fresh air, and social interaction.
