On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…
Some of you may have though you read this yesterday... you did until I realized that I posted it a day early. I wrote this at 2AM Thursday thinking it was Friday and got a little bit discombobulated so if you thought you saw this early Friday morning you did. (You had a sneak preview.)
Welcome to Saturday 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!
Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here.
1) Beyonce sings that she and her lover have worked through a tough time and now they are happier than before. Do you agree with the lyrics that relationships take effort? Or do you think that if a couple is well-matched and their love is real, happiness will naturally follow?
Nope, from all the relationships that I have seen, it takes work… lots of work.
2) She tells us that he's the one she can always call. But that was in 2011. If someone needed to get in touch with you today, would you recommend they call, send an instant message, or text?
Call the landline and leave a voice message. I screen all my calls, those on my contact list get a special ring, one ringtone for family, one for friends, and one ringtone for businesses. If the call doesn’t have a special ringtone I let it go to voice mail.
3) Beyonce goes through many costume changes in this video and in her concert performances. What are you wearing right now as you answer these questions, and will you change clothes throughout the day?
PJs and it is 2AM.
4) The choreography in this video was inspired by Janet Jackson's videos in the 1990s. The Jackson family -- Janet, her brothers as solo artists and as The Jackson 5 -- have sold a staggering 750 million records. Can you think of another successful musical family?
The Nelsons.
5) Beyonce and husband Jay-Z have an impressive classic car collection, including a restored and customized 1959 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II, reportedly worth $1,000,000. If you suddenly received a million, what would you splurge on? We want to hear about a gift you'd give yourself. (It doesn't have to take the whole $1,000,000.)
Not much, when you are in your 70s you are trying to get rid of the clutter and not make more.
6) Beyonce "loves to lather" and enjoys shampooing her hair. What's a simple, everyday thing that relaxes you?
I listen to audiobooks, the other day I listened to the deck while relaxing on the deck, in the sun.
7) In 2011, when "Love on Top" was popular, so were movie franchises. Sequels to Harry Potter, Transformers, Twilight, Kung Foo Panda, and Disney's Cars and Pirates of the Caribbean all topped the box office. What's your favorite movie series?
Well I haven’t gone to a movie theater in probably a decade. I like the Harry Potter series, and the Outlander series. One thing that I noticed many movies start becoming cookie cutter movies , they are all basically the same. When the movie is based up a book series it have more variety.
8) Speaking of sequels, Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and two of its sequels (The Girl Who Played with Fire and the The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest) were on the NY Times list of fiction bestsellers for 2011. Have you read any of them?
Nope, never hear of them… are they SiFi?
9) Random question -- Which of these items do you misplace most often: your cellphone, your keys or the TV remote?
My keys are always in my purse.
My TV remote is always on the end table on my left.
Now my cellphone is “usually” in my purse, the problem is when I take it out of it. Yesterday I had to call it to find it (It slid between the cushions on the couch. The most dreaded thing is when the battery runs down and when I call it, the phone goes to voice mail!.)
Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. 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.
Last weekend… Friday I went up to Vermont to ride the chair up Mt. Snow for the foliage. It was a long, long day and not very productive. The news down here in Connecticut said it was at their peak… well I’ll you decide about the color.
I left at 10, picked up a friend and it was a 2 hour drive to Vermont, I got back at 6 and I was totally beat! Saturday I rested and worked on the photos.

So what do you think? At its peak?
I screen my calls, too. We have caller ID on the landline and my cell phone.
ReplyDeleteOh, the sky in those photos!
ReplyDeleteWow. Not sure that's quite peak but it's lovely. You asked about Virginia - I am just north of where the damage is very bad. We were lucky. A little further south and we would not have been fine. But we are fine. Thank you for asking. It is very bad further down and in NC, far south VA, and TN.
ReplyDeleteI am working on the clutter thing too. Your pictures are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLook at the beautiful blue skies in those pics! The Nelsons are an interesting choice. Harriet was a singer in Ozzie's band, then there's Ricky, and his sons.
