topic: Running <s> In terms of mechanics the way your body springs as you run is what actually burns the calories. Interesting I know.	Yes it is! Did you also know that running a lot is good for improving the stability of your bones
topic: Running <s> All running or just running fast? With so many speeds of running from Jogging to Sprinting it seems like it would be rough on your bones not good for them.	Just regular running. I could see running to fast to be hard on the legs so I just stick to taking it easy

topic: Animal shelter <s> Hey there!	Hi! I volunteer my time at the local animal shelter. This is where dogs and cats and other wildlife are kept and rehabilitated.
topic: Animal shelter <s> Ah really? thats super cool. well actually I used to work on an animal shelter before.	I prefer to work for no kill shelters, but even then sometimes they have to euthanize sick animals.
topic: Animal shelter <s> Ah I see. It's always sad to euthanize sick animals. Must be hard even for you guys who had to see it sometimes in a weekly basis.	It's horrible. And its actually very sad because in the United States, there is no government run organization that provides oversight or regulation of the shelters. It's tragic.
topic: Animal shelter <s> Isn't PETA oversees the operation and do something about it? Yeah, super tragic, it broke my heart thinking about it.	Many individual states do regulate shelters within their jurisdiction. PETA is a lot of talk and not that much action, they also are not government operated or regulated.
topic: Animal shelter <s> Ah I thought somehow PETA has ties to the government. That's great, at least there's regulation being done. Anyway thanks for the chat. Appreciate it!	No problem, just remember if you ever want to get a pet, adopt from your local shelter and not a pet store!

topic: Yoga <s> I just tried Yoga for the first time, i found out that i am not flexible at all haha, have you ever tried it?	No, and don't intend to - I can hurt myself in so many ways without it. That said, I should like it as it apparently originated in India, which is where my uncle comes from.
topic: Yoga <s> I did not know it originated there, i bet it was a long time ago, do you happen to know when people started to do yoga?	There's a lot of speculation as to its origins, but it's thought it developed around the 6th and 5th centuries BCE in ancient India.
topic: Yoga <s> Wow, that is old, was it connected to religion in any way, or just a form of excercise?	It was, and probably still is, practiced in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Yoga gurus from India introduced it to the West in the late 19th century.
topic: Yoga <s> I wonder why they waited for so long before introducing it to the west, was there a reason for it?	Don't know. It could be because yoga in India is more than just physical exercise, with a meditative and spiritual side to it. In the West it seems to be used mainly for exercise.

topic: Red wine <s> I love to drink red wine straight from the box.	I like it too, i think somalier is my dream job :D red wine color can range from intense violet, typical of young wines, through to brick red
topic: Red wine <s> We always just put ours in mason jars with ice cubes. We call it "grown up koolaid".	Hehe, thats a good thing to tell children :D the juice from most purple grapes is greenish-white; the red color comes from anthocyan pigments
topic: Red wine <s> I never knew that, I always thought it was because the grapes were purple.	The pigment is form the stem or grape skin, the presence of stems during fermentation can lead to a bitter taste in the wine
topic: Red wine <s> I can see how that would happen. Bitter wine doesn't bother me though haha.	Thats how they make the taste different, particularly with hand-picked grapes, stems, and leaves are left in the mixture to change the taste

topic: Only child <s> I am really sorry to hear that. So I guess it was kind of the same experience as being an only child. Who knew?	Well me and my brothers had quite a bit of age gaps, maybe if we were closer in age it would have been differant! Were you close with your parents?
topic: Only child <s> Yeah. We would watch a lot of shows together. My favorite was Family game night. Have you ever sen it?	No I havent. I'm glad they spent time with you, it is really important for parents to spend quality time with their children!

topic: Running <s> All running or just running fast? With so many speeds of running from Jogging to Sprinting it seems like it would be rough on your bones not good for them.

Just regular running. I could see running to fast to be hard on the legs so I just stick to taking it easy

topic: Running <s> It's though that humans developed the ability to run about 2.6 million years ago in order to hunt. Interesting huh!

Yes that is interesting did you also know one foot has 26 bones, 33 joints and 112 ligaments!

topic: Running <s> I did not but I did know world's most accessible sport thanks to those bones everyone has.

Did you know running outside you burn more calories then on a treadmill running the same pace because of the air resistance!

topic: Running <s> Yes! running is such a fun way to exercise!

topic: Animal shelter <s> Hey there!

Hi! I volunteer my time at the local animal shelter. This is where dogs and cats and other wildlife are kept and rehabilitated.

topic: Animal shelter <s> Ah really? thats super cool. well actually I used to work on an animal shelter before.

I prefer to work for no kill shelters, but even then sometimes they have to euthanize sick animals.

topic: Animal shelter <s> Ah I see. It's always sad to euthanize sick animals. Must be hard even for you guys who had to see it sometimes in a weekly basis.

It's horrible. And its actually very sad because in the United States, there is no government run organization that provides oversight or regulation of the shelters. It's tragic.

topic: Animal shelter <s> Isn't PETA oversees the operation and do something about it? Yeah, super tragic, it broke my heart thinking about it.

Many individual states do regulate shelters within their jurisdiction. PETA is a lot of talk and not that much action, they also are not government operated or regulated.

topic: Animal shelter <s> Ah I thought somehow PETA has ties to the government. That's great, at least there's regulation being done. Anyway thanks for the chat. Appreciate it!

No problem, just remember if you ever want to get a pet, adopt from your local shelter and not a pet store!

topic: Yoga <s> I just tried Yoga for the first time, i found out that i am not flexible at all haha, have you ever tried it?

No, and don't intend to - I can hurt myself in so many ways without it. That said, I should like it as it apparently originated in India, which is where my uncle comes from.

topic: Yoga <s> I did not know it originated there, i bet it was a long time ago, do you happen to know when people started to do yoga?

There's a lot of speculation as to its origins, but it's thought it developed around the 6th and 5th centuries BCE in ancient India.

topic: Yoga <s> Wow, that is old, was it connected to religion in any way, or just a form of excercise?

It was, and probably still is, practiced in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Yoga gurus from India introduced it to the West in the late 19th century.

topic: Yoga <s> I wonder why they waited for so long before introducing it to the west, was there a reason for it?

Don't know. It could be because yoga in India is more than just physical exercise, with a meditative and spiritual side to it. In the West it seems to be used mainly for exercise.

topic: Red wine <s> I love to drink red wine straight from the box.

I like it too, i think somalier is my dream job :D red wine color can range from intense violet, typical of young wines, through to brick red

topic: Red wine <s> We always just put ours in mason jars with ice cubes. We call it "grown up koolaid".

Hehe, thats a good thing to tell children :D the juice from most purple grapes is greenish-white; the red color comes from anthocyan pigments

topic: Red wine <s> I never knew that, I always thought it was because the grapes were purple.

The pigment is form the stem or grape skin, the presence of stems during fermentation can lead to a bitter taste in the wine

topic: Red wine <s> I can see how that would happen. Bitter wine doesn't bother me though haha.

Thats how they make the taste different, particularly with hand-picked grapes, stems, and leaves are left in the mixture to change the taste

topic: Only child <s> Hi there! Do you have any siblings? I myself am an only child.

I am a middle child between an older and younger brother. How do you like being an only child?

topic: Only child <s> It's alright. I felt pretty lonely growing up alot, and it was a pretty uncommon thing. Most of my friends had brothers and sisters so I felt a little jealous. How was it being the middle one?

It was a little lonely in the middle as well, my older brother left me out a lot.

topic: Only child <s> I am really sorry to hear that. So I guess it was kind of the same experience as being an only child. Who knew?

Well me and my brothers had quite a bit of age gaps, maybe if we were closer in age it would have been differant! Were you close with your parents?

topic: Only child <s> Yeah. We would watch a lot of shows together. My favorite was Family game night. Have you ever sen it?

No I havent. I'm glad they spent time with you, it is really important for parents to spend quality time with their children!

topic: Hiking <s> I love hiking! It's a popular activity that a lot of my friends do. When I travel, I try to go hiking if its available. What outdoors activity do you like doing?

I like to play basketball and swim.

topic: Hiking <s> What aspect about basketball do you like the most?

I just love everything about about it. I use to play point guard and forward.

topic: Hiking <s> I've been told that the point guard has probably the most specialized role of any position in basketball! Any famous point guards that you like watching play?

I use to love Mugs Bouges because he was so short and everybody doubted him
