r is to stop drinking alcohol. Do you drink?Julie: Well, I have a glass of wine with dinner, but I’m not an alcoholic. And I thought a little bit was supposed to be good for you anyway.Doctor: If you drink while you’re pregnant, your child could have birth defects. I cannot emphasize enough, Julie, the importance of quitting.Julie: Okay, then. What else is there?Doctor: Well, coffee.Julie: Do I have to give up everything I enjoy? I need coffee to wake me up in the morning.Doctor: I’m afraid, Julie, you’ll have to stop drinking that, too. Caffeine affects the baby’s heart rate. And, it’s also important to get regular exercise.Julie: You’re kidding! I have to quit smoking, stop drinking alcohol and coffee, and on top of all that, I have to start exercising? Boy, it is amazing that anybody ever gets pregnant. Doctor: I really hope you’ll take this seriously, Julie.ScriptSue: Randy, what’s going on in this picture? It looks like you have blood all over your shirt.Randy: No, that’s not blood. It’s ketchup.Sue: Ketchup? What happened?Randy: This happened when Tim and I were traveling around Asia. We were in Bangkok.Sue: Yeah…Randy: …and we had reservations to catch an overnight bus to Chiang Mai.Sue: Yeah.Randy: And we were waiting at a king of restaurant that was sort of a travel agency…and we went early, but the bus didn’t e, and I was getting kind of worried.Sue: Yeah…but what’s that got to do with ketchup?Randy: So, I was beginning to wonder if we’d been cheated, because we’d already paid for our tickets in advance.Sue: Right. Randy: Then, finally, a van pulled up , and we thought, no , this is not the bus…but then everyone else who was waiting pushed right past us and jumped in , and, bam!—just like that, the van drove away. And then this sweet little Thai woman, who was the tickets, came up to us.Sue: Yeah, and …Randy: …and she said, “Why you no get on?” And Tim was like, “ That wasn’t the bus, was it?” “Only one, why you not get on?” And I didn’t know she was talking about…Sue: So what happened?Randy: Well, the travel agent jus shrugged and turned and went inside her shop. Neither of us could believe it. I started to get really angry , like we’d been cheated, and now it’s dark and we’re stranded in this little restaurant…Sue: Oh, no…Randy: I followed her inside, I started arguing. I told her, “We paid for the bus. You didn’t tell us to look for a van. Now you have to get us a taxi to Chiang Mai. Now.” And I started pointing at the clock. I think that was the last straw for the woman, because she started shouting. “You no go. You no go Chiang Mai!” She grabbed a ketchup bottle off the table you know, one of those plastic squirt ketchup bottles, and she squirted ketchup at me!Sue: No! She didn’t!Randy: Yeah! She did. And then she threw the bottle at me. And Tim snapped the picture. Just then the same van pulled up and the woman said, “Now you go.”Sue: So you got on the van.Randy: Yeah, we ended up at the bus terminal, where this big, airconditioned tour bus was waiting to go to Chiang Mai. And all the people who had pushed ahead of us earlier were there, waiting to leave. I felt SO stupid for getting angry at the woman and making such a fool of myself.Sue: You must have felt terrible.Randy: Yeah, I wished there was some way I could go back and apologize to her. I realized that I have to be more patient, especially when I’m in another country.ScriptEd: Are you worried about having enough money? Are you worried about paying your bills?

Three hours of my life every day, five days a week, you know. I’ve got to wake up at six in the morning just to make it in to work by nine or so. I feel like a technoself.Lori: that is long. I can walk here in 15 minutes. But you know, at least your mute is green. You can look at the trees and small towns…it must be nice. Carrie: For the first 20 minutes yeah. But as soon as the train gets closer to the city, it is all concrete and steel. That’s when it starts to get really crowded. Today so many people were in the train that I felt like a sardine in a big
