In this episode, Michele and I have so much fun. Seriously, just give it a listen and write a comment!
TOP 10: Our favorite 1st-world problems to fuss about during quarantine.
10 Einstein can’t jump on the bed! – Heather Nicely
9 Propane tank misplaced! – Michele Stone
8 Hey! Where’s my alkaline water? – Debbie Happy Cohen
7 Why doesn’t Trader Joes deliver?!? – Juli Jordan
The next 3 come from Deborah Brooks as told to Michele Stone:
6 An opossum snuck into her back yard and tried to eat her chickens. When she attempted to chase it away, it ran up a tree and hid from her. She decided to lock up her chickens in their hen house and they got really mad making very loud clucking sounds.
5 When Deborah went out to check on the chickens and the opossum, she stepped on a bee and her foot swelled up, thus making it hard for her to walk.
4 Deborah and her husband just bought a home and are remodeling it. They have to wait for the contractors to finish before they can move all of their things in.
