Don't Sleep in the Subway

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!

Saturday 9: Don't Sleep in the Subway (1967)
 
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) Subways can be bright and noisy. Do you need it dark and quiet before you can fall asleep? 

No, I need to fall asleep with the TV on

2) In this song, Petula encourages her lover to talk it out instead of walking out. Do you usually remain reasonable during a disagreement?

Yes

3) Petula was a child star in England during WWII. Her BBC broadcasts were very popular with the British troops, who nicknamed her The Singing Sweetheart. Soldiers pasted her photo onto their tanks for luck as they went into battle. Do you have any little rituals or good luck charms that calm/comfort you when you're afraid?

No

4) Now 84, she recently told London's Daily Mail that she's surprised and thrilled to have found love again with a new man. Do you believe you'll ever be too old for romance?
Nope

 
5) Her family is far flung. She lives in London, her middle daughter is in Paris, her son is in Los Angeles and her oldest daughter lives in New York with Petula's two grandchildren. Who is your nearest friend or relative? Which one is farthest away?
My nearest friend is 5 trailers up from me ~ Nearest relative is an hour away
My farthest friend is 3 hours away in Ohio ~ Farthest relative is in Arizona

6) In 1967, when this song was popular, Rolling Stone published its first issue. John Lennon was on the cover. Publisher Jann Wenner reports that, either individually or as a group, the members of The Beatles have appeared on the most Rolling Stone covers. What's the first Beatle song that comes to mind?
All My Loving

7) In 1967, Star Trek was in its second season on NBC. Who is your favorite Star Trek character?
Never watched Star Trek, Never could get into it

  
8) RANDOM QUESTION: When you slip into jeans or slacks, which foot do you put in first?
Left

9) As you considered #8, did you mime pulling on your pants?
No, I know cause with my knee hurting as bad as it does it's easier for me to put my left in first

Saturday 9: This Is the Way the Bunny Hops
 
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) Why do you suppose there are so many songs about Santa Claus, yet very few about the Easter Bunny?
No Clue

Mr. Washington ~ He had me as a student teacher to help him and helped me a little to break out of my shyness getting up in front of people.

I like them both

The Sassiest Questions

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on WTIT: The Blog
authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. You may have heard the expression, “honor among thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we try to credit the blog that we stole it from. We also provide a link to the victim's questions in our "Previous Victims" widget. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") Sometimes we edit the original meme, to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, to select the best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from recently asked questions from a previously post.






Cheers to all us thieves!

Saturday 9: Work From Home

Saturday April 8, 2017

Work from Home

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!

Saturday 9: Work from Home (2016)
 
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This song is about a woman who doesn't get to see her lover often enough because he's on the night shift. Have you ever worked nights?

Before I got with my husband I did work 15 years midnight shift at a personal care home.

When I changed jobs and started to see him most of the time if he worked mornings, I was afternoon or vise versa. We never had the same days off.

 2) She promises that if he takes the day off, she'll make it feel like a vacation. Have you traveled anywhere fun so far this year? Do you have any leisure trips planned for 2017? 

We never went any where yet this year. We are planning a weekend trip to Ohio to see our friends that we met while we was living there.

 3) The ladies of Fifth Harmony are enthusiastic supporters of the Girl Scouts, rewarding troops who excel in fundraising activities with free concerts. The Scouts' best-known fundraiser is their cookie sale. What's your favorite cookie (Girl Scout or otherwise)?

Thin Mints & Peanut Butter Cookies

4) Fifth Harmony also participated in Goodwill's Fall Haul campaign. They encouraged high school students donate as many items as possible to Goodwill, and the winning school got a free concert. When did you last take gently-used items to a resale organization?

April 2016 when I was going things while packing up for our move here to PA

5) Do you ever shop second-hand or thrift stores?

I love second ~ hand & thrift stores!

6) Fifth Harmony member Normani Kordei competes on Dancing with the Stars this season. Would you do better on DWTS or The Voice? In other words, are you a better singer or dancer?

No way!

7) In February 2016, when this song was first released, The Denver Broncos won the Super Bowl and Spotlight won the Best Picture Oscar. Can you recall who won the 2017 Super Bowl and Best Picture Oscar, just two months ago?

New England won the super bowl and no clue on the Best Picture Oscar

8) 2016's most popular TV show was Game of Thrones. Are you a fan?

Never heard of it

  
9) Random Question: What's the subject line of the newest message in your email spam folder?

Don't know, I never go into my spam folder. Let's take a look! I see I haven't deleted the folder in awhile 594....Subject line is....."Secure Your Loan Application In 7 Minutes"
