    The This is Fine Meme with Gabby Bomberg

    Send a text Shownotes Memes:  The "This is Fine" Meme - "So meme that I chose is the meme of this dog sitting at a table with his coffee, just kind of casually sitting there and then behind him is engulfed in flames, right? And so that's the one side of things. And he's just kind of.  And for those of you who might not be able to see or listening to the podcast, I just made it kind of like a aloof face facial expression, I would say. And then the other side is a little smiling dog that says with the caption bubble, this is fine."Join our Facebook group to be part of the conversation and view the meme for this episode or you can follow us on Instagram @memesmetaphorsandmagic.
