Saturday 9

I’ve taken some time off, for the last 3 weekends I have been busy.

Saturday 9: I Can Love You Like That (1995)

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

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 tune? Hear it here.

1) This week's song is about a girl who grew up on the fairy tale Cinderella. The online teaching platform study.com says Cinderella has been remained popular for centuries because the moral is that kindness is a virtue that will be rewarded. As an adult, do you still believe that's true?

I do for myself, but sadly I am seeing more and more people where that is not true.

2) This girl also likes romantic movies. Think of your favorite screen couple. Did they live happily ever after?

That would be Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, no they didn't they couldn't share their love in public. I thought that the movie Guess Who's Coming to Dinner was ahead of it’s time.

3) While "I Can Love You Like That" was a Top Ten hit here, it reached #1 in the Canada and Zimbabwe. Could you find Zimbabwe on a globe?

Yes.

4) The members of this week's group, All-4-One, hail from Mojave, California. July and August are the hottest months in Mojave, when the afternoon temperature hovers between 87º and 97º and often climbs to 100º+. Do you thrive or melt in hot weather?

I’m better in cold weather, you can always add layers but in the summer well you can only take off some much.

5) After having several hits in the 1990s, All-4-One saw their popularity wane in the new millennium. While they never disbanded – and will be touring throughout 2025 – the members have pursued separate interests. For example, co-founder Delious Kennedy started a YouTube channel featuring interviews with celebrities from the 80s and 90s. Do you spend a lot of time on YouTube? If yes, what do you watch?

Yes, I do. I have a potpourri of topics I watch, anything that catches my fancy. Last night I watched a video of how Hurricane Helene's changed the landscape in North Carolina “This flood was so big that it cracked a mountain” Two other videos that I watched for a half hour or so before I go to bed to relax me… Canyonlands NP - Shafer Trail to Moab Ut (musselman arch) Compete Trail (I would love to take a tour of this! Anyone interested?) and the other is a train video, Scenic Jærbanen Line and South Line from Sandnes to Kristiansand. Plus the usual videos.

6) In 1995, when this week's song was popular, Michael Jordan "unretired" and returned to the Chicago Bulls. Tell us about a decision you wish you could undo.

Selling the New Hampshire cottage, I wish that I bought out my brother’s half. The Cape is nice but nothing beats walking out the door and jumping in the lake.

7) 1995 saw Pierce Brosnan as James Bond in GoldenEye. 007 was also played by Sean Connery, David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Daniel Craig. Do you have a favorite Bond?

The original! Sean Connery.

8) One of McDonald's best-selling 1995 Happy Meals featured The Power Rangers. 30 years later, those Happy Meal action figures are still available on eBay. Have you recently purchased anything on eBay?

Nope. Amazon is the only online shopping that I use, unless it is direct from a store like Target.

9) Random question – Which compliment would please you the most: to be smart, great looking, or likeable?

Well I take “smart” any day over the others!

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!
