Tell Me Something Good: Woodworkers Are Making Desks For Kids Around The Country

Tell Me Something Good: Woodworkers Are Making Desks For Kids Around The Country

It’s a few weeks into the school year and it feels like everyone is stressed. Hybrid classes, distance learning, trying to get work done from home, I’m sure you can relate.

The tough part is that not everyone is set up to work or learn from home.  That’s why many woodworkers all over the country have been making desks, and giving them away to kids who need them. It’s such a thoughtful idea that goes a long way with these families.

They’re some pretty cool desks too!

The Anna & Raven Show: Returns, Car Colors And Tabloid Life Hacks

The Anna & Raven Show: Returns, Car Colors And Tabloid Life Hacks

Thursday September 24th, 2020

What is the most important trait in the opposite sex for you? We have the list of the top six things people look for in the opposite sex. (0:00)

Anna ran into a friend at a store and wondered why she was buying Pumpkins from there when she usually gets them from the same local farmers market they both shop at. Ends up, she needed them for a photo shoot and was going to return them right after. Ever buy an item, only to use it for one purpose than return it? (2:49)

If you fake your own kidnapping during a school Zoom session or if your business says page says everything is in stock, you pay for said item and have to wait three weeks for the order, that’s all I need to know about you! (13:27)

Anna is searching for a new car and finding it to be a bit difficult, and the car she wants only has it one color that Anna doesn’t like. The color of your car apparently says a lot about you too…But what is it? (17:06)

While shopping at Walmart, a tabloid magazine caught Anna’s eye. Upon reading it had some life hacks, like curing midnight sweats & how to get rid of depression using magnets. Of course she wanted to use Raven a guinea pig, so she places magnets all over his face to see if it really does cure depression. (24:30)

It’s time for Life advice with Hayden Zap! Have a problem? You can always ask Anna’s 11-year-old daughter. She may not be an expert, but that won’t stop her from giving her opinion! (29:35)

Couples Court: Jessica & Eddie’s 13-year-old daughter wants to invite her boyfriend over the house to hang out. Jessica says she’s way too young to have a boyfriend at the house. At school, online, on the phone, that’s okay, but not in person at their home. Eddie believes that they should have him over and treat him like he is just another one of her regular friends.  (32:35)

Will Raven begin a whole new streak today or will he fall flat and give away the $100 jackpot?! Find out in Can’t Beat Raven! (39:34)

Tell Me Something Good: Connecticut Made Another List, This Time It’s Good!

Tell Me Something Good: Connecticut Made Another List, This Time It’s Good!

I always get nervous when Connecticut ranks high on whatever “List” just came out. But this time it’s a good list to be on!

2020’s Happiest States In America

We actually made the top 10. I firmly believe the only reason Hawaii is number 1 is the nice weather. And what on earth is happening in West Virginia to make them come in last place?! I’ve been to WV before and it’s not THAT bad. I zip-lined down a mountain, rowed down a river, it was beautiful actually. I guess I don’t live there all year round though.

Either way, very interesting list and I’m glad we’re happy here in CT.
