Saturday’s 9: The Sweet Escape

Sam’s Saturday’s 9: The Sweet Escape (2006)

The remnants of Dorian will have passed by the Cape Cod overnight and I do not know if I will have power in the morning when this will automatically be posted. The forecast is for 3 to 4 inches of rain and winds 25 – 35 mph for about sixteen hours.

Update 7:45 AM
It has been raining for over 10 hours, the barometer is rising, we had about 3/4 inch (2 cm) of rain so far, and wind is around 10 mph (16 kph) with gusts to 37 mph (60 kph). Nothing worse than a run of the mill Nor'easter


Dorian is on it's way to Nova Scotia where it is expected to stay cat 1 hurricane.

On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…



Unfamiliar with this week's song. Hear it here.

1) This song begins with, "First of all, let me say I must apologize ..." Who most recently apologized to you?
Hmm… I don’t remember.

2) Gwen Stefani sings that she acted like "sour milk on the floor." Is there milk in your refrigerator right now? What about non-dairy creamer?
Yes, both white and chocolate milks and I don’t have any non-dairy creamer. I think the last time I have  non-dairy creamer was when I used to go backpacking in the seventies.

3) In the video, Gwen wears several different pairs of stiletto heels. What are you wearing on your feet as you answer these questions?
Just my feet at the bottom of my ankles.

4) Mrs. Stefani named her daughter "Gwen" after a stewardess in the book/movie Airport. Who was your favorite character in the book you just read, or movie you most recently watched?
Outlander’s Claire Randall/Fraser

5) Gwen is a distant cousin of Madonna's. Are there any performers in your family?
My nephew plays in a band down in Asheville.

6) In high school, she joined the swim team not because she enjoys swimming but because she wanted to lose weight. Are you doing anything (dieting, participating in an exercise regimen) in order to shed a few pounds?
No but I should.

7) Before she became successful, Gwen worked at the makeup counter in a department store. What was the last thing you purchased? Did you buy it online or at a store?
I bought surveyor’s tape at Home Depot, I got it to mark the trees that I want taken down at the cottage.

8) Gwen has gotten a great deal of publicity for her romance with country star, Blake Shelton. What's your favorite Blake Shelton song?
Who?
I never heard of him. Did he play in a 70s rock band?

9) Random question: Which of these compliments would make you the happiest -- to be called fascinating, or brilliant, or gorgeous?
Fascinating
Earlier in the week where I volunteer, I help someone with their appeal for an insurance claim that was denied. I told them where to find help with the appeal process, resources like the state’s healthcare advocate.

In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!
