Friday Five with Lori & Jane

Lori & Jane have perfected a few ways to waste some time.

This week Lori & Jane compare lists of jobs they could never do.  This episodes shows just how different they are from each other.

Crime Scene Cleaner - also known as "biohazard remediation" because it does not deal only with crime scenes, but all biohazard cleaning (including hoarder houses...

This week Lori & Jane talk about the movies from their childhood that left a deep impression on them.  Lori mostly reminisces about Disney movies, while Jane mostly reminisces about...movies that she probably shouldn't have been watching before the age of 10. Correction: In the episode Jane mentions an actor named 'Ike Eisenberg.'  His name was actually Ike Eisenmann and he star...

Lori and Jane feel it is important to help others, and decided to dedicate an episode all about their favorite charities and organizations to which they dedicate their time, energy and money. Lori's charities: Feed America Girl Scouts / Girls on the Run Salvation Army Susan G.

We have opted not to do a normal episode this week in light of the heartbreaking death of George Floyd on Memorial Day as well as the resulting demonstrations regarding racial injustice. We have a wish for a country free from fear, hatred and violence between its people and especially for those experiencing pointless bias and prejudice simply because of the color of their skin.  Lori and Jane stan...
