Saturday 9

Joining in with the Saturday 9.

Saturday 9: Everybody's Somebody's Fool (1960)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) Next Wednesday is April Fool's Day. Do you have any pranks planned? Do you expect to fall victim to any April Fool's Day mischief?

No and No. I don't like them.

2) When she was a kid, Crazy Sam would fool her mom by putting bubble wrap under the bath map so there would be a POP! when her mother stepped on it. When you encounter bubble wrap, do you always indulge in a pop or two?

Gosh, I have two children aka men who love to pop bubble wrap. lol

3) While we're using this song to celebrate April Fool's Day, it was written about another subject entirely: heartbreak. The lyrics tell us that at some point, we each get our hearts broken by someone who doesn't love us as much as we love them. Do you think that's true?

Of course. From significant others to even parents.

4) In 1962, this week's featured Connie Francis published a book aimed at teens called For Every Young Heart. It addressed topics like going steady and schoolwork vs. social life. Do you ever read advice columns or self-help books?

nope

5) Connie Francis can play the accordion. Sam has never met anyone adept at this complicated instrument -- not even in her high school band. What about you? Do you play the accordion, or do you know anyone who can?

Nope

6) In 1960, when this record was popular, Harper Lee's classic To Kill a Mockingbird was published. Have you read it?

Yes, love Atticus Finch

7) Also in 1960, one of Life magazine's best-selling issues had Sophia Loren on the cover. At that time, she was an international film star and considered one of the world's most beautiful women. Who do you consider one of 2020's most beautiful women?

I wouldn't say the most beautiful, but she cetainly handles her role with so much style and grace.

8) A 1960 issue of Vogue acknowledged how expensive it had become to maintain a fashionable wardrobe and asked, "If you were to buy only one thing, what would it be?" If it's good enough for Vogue, it's good enough for Saturday 9: If you could purchase only one new article of clothing for spring 2020, what would you buy?

I really don't follow fashion trends. So, I couldn't tell you. Maybe I should, because I don't dress like a 53 year old (what does a 53 year old dress like?). I do like these Espadrilles though:

9) Random question: When someone makes you really angry, are you more likely to respond with stony silence or a big noise?

It depends on the situation. Sometimes, if I am being totally honest here, I just like to ring folks necks. My husband, "I know when you're mad and the need to just to back up. You have your mothers look." Hmm...whatever do you mean, dear? lol

I thought this was pretty cool. This came in the mail. This is what Vice President Pence has been carrying around in the press briefings. On that note, I am pretty much done discussing this virus. There are a few of my friends that email or IM back and forth who have chosen to keep open minds and for that, thank you and we shall continue doing so. I do not foresee NY state opening up anytime soon and it is what it is. Folks, keep your on the ball, there is so much more going on than meets the eye and now, I am done.
