Saturday 9: Mama Told Me (Not to Come)

Crazy Sam’s Saturday 9: Mama Told Me (Not to Come)



1) This song is about a lad who didn't take his mother's advice and attended the wild party anyway (hear it here). When you were young, did your parents approve of your friends? If you're a parent yourself, how have you handled it when your kids start hanging around with friends you're not crazy about?
I think so, some of them were long hair hippies types and I think they know I was smoking pot, I must have stunk after smoke when I came home at night.

2) A 2010 poll named Marge Simpson of The Simpsons the most popular TV mom of all time. Who is your favorite TV (or movie) mother?
Harriet Nelson

3) Crazy Sam's mother is a big fan of The National Enquirer. As she likes to say, "They were right about John Edwards!" Do you read the tabloids? Cast a guilty glance at them when you're in line at the store? Or ignore them altogether?
Yes I’m guilty, but they are always good for a chuckle and it is a good distraction.

4) Mother Winters always gave Sam peppermint tea to calm her stomach. Do you have any tried-and-true home remedies to share?
Yes, I just found one last week when I fell in a poison ivy patch. I rubbed Dawn dish detergent on the affected areas and then washed it off. It worked it stopped the rash from getting any worst by washing off the oil from the plant.

5) Thinking of guts ... When making decisions, do you tend to consider all the options carefully or do you "go with your gut"?
I tend to over think my options too much and in the end I go with my gut.

6) Spring is here! Do you have a green thumb?
No and when I walk through a garden center the plants are trying to hide from me quivering in fear and hoping that I pick any other plant but them.

7) Have you put away your winter clothes yet?
Nope, they are all in my closet (one of the advantages of being single, you don’t have to share a closet).

8) After you lather and rinse, do you repeat?
Nope, what a waste of soap.

9) To celebrate Mother's Day, Sam is giving away Hershey bars. Would you prefer classic milk chocolate, dark chocolate or milk chocolate with almonds?
POISON!!!!! Danger Will Robinson Danger!
I’m a diabetic and it is really is poison for me, I don’t even have any sugar in my house. Also dark chocolate has a high concentration of caffeine and it is enough to set off my arrhythmia.
