Saturday 9

 Apologies, falling behind yet again. I'll just say, nothing has been decided on where to move too...but I did snap at my husband the other day and I informed him my feet weren't made for snow boots or shoes or the never ending snow; they are made for sand and flip flops. He hasn't said one more word to me about NOT moving (he was laughing at me waddling to the car -on the ice)...I'm just at the end of the proverbial rope; combination of the never ending shutdown/mask wearing for 8-9 hours a day, weather, job related etc. I also own up to the fact I need an attitude adjustment. Just keeping it real.

oh how appropriate, grin.

Saturday 9: Cry (1952)

Unfamiliar with this song? Hear it here.

1) In this song, Johnnie Ray assures us we'll feel better if we cry. Do you agree?

Sometimes. After a rough 24-48 hours, I wanted to cry and briefly did (at home). But honestly, I was not going to allow my employer the pleasure of seeing me do so and I didn't.

2) He also mentions waking from a dream, believing it was real. Has that ever happened to you?

Sure.

3) Because this record was such a massive hit, Johnnie Ray was nicknamed "The Prince of Wails." Without looking it up, do you know who is currently the Prince of Wales?

Sure, Charles, the Queen of England's son.

4) To cash in on the success of this single, 20th Century Fox cast Johnnie Ray in a big-budget musical, There's No Business Like Show Business. Today it's best remembered as a Marilyn Monroe movie. Have you seen many of Marilyn's films?

Yes, I love Some Like it Hot.

5) After graduating from high school, Johnnie worked at low-paying jobs, including bus boy and soda jerk. He found he made better tips when he began playing piano in restaurants. Have you ever worked for tips?

Nope

6) In 1969, Johnnie was in the news a lot again because he performed with Judy Garland during her European tour and was best man at her wedding to Mickey Deans. Tell us what you wore to the most recent wedding you attended.

I haven't been to any weddings --maybe 15 or so years now. It was a flowerly 2 piece chiffon dress and pink mules.

7) In 1952, when this song was a hit, Mr. Potato Head made his debut. It was the first toy advertised on television. What TV commercial have you seen recently?

It was a Dominos commercial. Funny thing is, we don't have a Dominos here. The city won't allow competition.

8) Also in 1952, chlorophyll was all the rage for banishing bad breath. Colgate led the way by adding it to their toothpaste. Do you use gum, mints, mouthwash, or breath strips?

I chew gum everyday-Since I have to wear a mask for upwards of 8-9 hours. Every single person at work chews gum. That's a fact, Jack.

9) Random question -- Congratulations! You won a free three night/two day weekend for two in Las Vegas! The weather is predicted to be sunny and 65º each day you're there. It's 12:00 noon on your first day. Are we most likely to find you: a) gambling in the casino or b) having breakfast in bed or c) outside, enjoying the sun and the sights?

C. But you won't ever find me in Vegas. Once was a enough...how about I win a trip to the beach? Any beach will do, including Maine. grin.
