https://wyrdmountaingals.podbean.com/e/mellow-confessions-wyrd-mountain-gals-show/
This conversation is a smooth mellow ride into a different a slower pace of life. For just a few minutes, the gals have an old-fashioned conversation about "homely things".
As they speak about bee equipment & the like, we learn a few things about them..
Alicia never goes to convenience stores & doesn't use the atm. Byron is still balancing her checkbook the old-fashioned way & has never used her crockpot, even though she's had it for over 30 years..
There are stories and laughter--& very little complaining. We hope this episode leaves you smiling!

WYRD Mountain
Cruising down the Parkway in my automobile
Trying to get back to my Papy's corn liquor still
As soon as I crossed that Buncombe County line
Something in the air blew my podcast up high
It was the wisdom from the chicks in the city sticks
And I knew right then it was gonna be my fix
No need for white lightening to get my start
They'd say "lord have mercy!" and "bless your heart"
W Y R D yeah you know what I mean
It's not strange
You can take it from me
W Y R D come listen and see
Wyrd Mountain Gals on W Y R D
Up on Wyrd Mountain they're done getting their kicks
Jamming on the porch, just hitting that _____*caw caw!
Stirring up the pot, that's what they do best
They can dish it out till there ain't nothing left
W Y R D yeah you know what I mean
It's not strange
You can take it from me
W Y R D come listen and see
Wyrd Mountain Gals on W Y R D
It's them Wyrd Mountain Gals on W Y R D

What is a burner phone?
A burner phone, or burner, is an inexpensive mobile phone designed for temporary, sometimes anonymous, use, after which it may be discarded. Burners are purchased with prepaid minutes and without a formal contract with a communications provider. While some users may buy burner phones for cash to avoid the financial commitment of a contract, some others use their phones for illicit purposes, such as criminal conspiracies and fraud.
