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!
1) This song is all about memories. How far back can you remember? What's your earliest memory?
2) The first line is "Good morning, yesterday." What do you remember about yesterday morning?
3)
This song was originally a 60-second jingle, featured in a commercial
for Kodak film. Do you ever use film? Or are all your pictures digital?
4) Who took the most recent photo of you?
5) This week's featured artist, Paul Anka, was born in Canada and enjoyed appearing in a made-for-TV Perry Mason movie with fellow Canadian, Raymond Burr. Do you enjoy courtroom dramas?
6)
At 15, Anka won a supermarket contest by collecting the most Campbell
soup can wrappers. The prize was a trip to New York. Do you enter
contests and sweepstakes? Play the lottery?
7)
This year Paul Anka performed throughout Florida (Palm Beach, Fort
Lauderdale, Orlando, Clearwater and Fort Myers). The Sunshine State is a
popular vacation destination. Do you have a favorite spot in
Florida?
8) In 1976, the year this song was on the charts, an earthquake hit China. Have you ever experienced an earthquake?
9) Random question: Do you know CPR?

choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!
1) 16 tons = 32,000 pounds, because there are 2,000 lbs. to a ton. Without looking it up, do you know how many ounces are in a pound?
2) The singer describes himself as having "a mind that's weak and a back that's strong." Think about yourself. Which feels more powerful today, your body or your brain?
3) The poor chap in this song has money troubles. Are you good at sticking to your budget?
4) Tennessee Ernie Ford snapped his fingers as he recorded this song. It's been said that while it's possible to snap your fingers of both hands, the noise is louder with your "dominant hand." (So if you're a rightie, the finger snap will be louder with your right hand.) Try it yourself. Did you find this to be true?
5) Mr. Ford appeared as "Cousin Ernie" in three episodes of I Love Lucy. What's your all-time favorite sitcom?
6) Tennessee Ernie took the money he made from his performing career and invested in a California cattle ranch. Think back to the last beef your ate. How was it prepared?
7) Mr. Ford passed away at age 72 in 1991. That year, Dr. Seuss also died. What's your favorite Dr. Seuss book?
8) Gene Roddenberry also died that year. Mr. Roddenberry is best known as the creator of Star Trek. Who is your favorite Star Trek character?
9) Random question: We're having smoothies. What's your favorite?

Welcome to Saturday: 9.

questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants

choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!
1) The very popular tagline for this movie is, "Love means never having to say you're sorry." Here's your chance to rewrite it. "Love means _____________________."
2) The movie was famous for a montage of the lovers frolicking in the snow. Do you enjoy sledding, skating, skiing, snowball fights, snowmen, etc.? Or do you just want spring to hurry up and get here?
3) In the movie, Oliver asks his father for $5,000. The money is required for wife Jenny's hospital treatment, but Oliver is too proud to tell his father why he needs it. Adjusted for inflation, $5,000 in 1970 is $30,000 today. How much would you be willing to lend a friend or family member without knowing the reason?
4) In the movie, Jenny is the daughter of a baker who owns a little shop in Cranston, Rhode Island. Think of the last baked goods you consumed. Were they home made? Did you buy them from a bakery, the grocery store, or a coffee shop, like Starbucks?
5) In 1970, when the movie was first released, California's First Lady Nancy Reagan said she liked it but was upset to hear Ali MacGraw's character swear. What's the curse word you use most often? (Feel free to spell it with *'s, in case Nancy Reagan stops by Sat. 9)
6) Now 75, Ali MacGraw has let her famous hair go gray. She says she's glad to "look like a grown up." Do you feel your age? Or older or younger than your years?
7) MacGraw and her Love Story co-star Ryan O'Neal are currently on tour in the play, Love Letters, and they're drawing big crowds of fans who remember them in their famous film. Tell us of another movie couple you felt had romantic chemistry.
8) Red is the signature color of Valentine's Day. Are you wearing red right now?
9) Because Valentine's Day is such a big day for chocolate ... would you prefer a large, solid milk chocolate heart or a small box of four assorted chocolates?

Saturday 9: Sorry (2015)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) This song is a plea for a second chance. Are you good at forgiving/forgetting?
2) Justin asks his girl to "forget this." What have you
done/said recently that you wish could just be forgotten?
3) Mr. Bieber says he needs just 6 hours sleep every night. How about you? How
much sleep do you require to feel sharp?
4) Justin prefers D&G underwear, which can cost as much as $102/pair. Sam
may be crazy, but there's no way she'd spend that much on underwear. What's
something you're willing to splurge on?
5) He may be picky about underwear but not cuisine. He loves Big Macs. If we
were going to McDonald's, what would you order?
6) When it comes to healthier fare, Bieber has told fans he enjoys snacking on
bananas and grapes. What do you reach for between meals?
7) Performing in Germany, Justin Bieber told a girl who approached the stage,
"Ich liebe dich” ("I love you") and she fainted. Have you ever
fainted?
8) As a kid,
Justin was teased for being one of the shortest in his class. What do you
recall being teased about in school?
9) Random question: Will you be watching this weekend's Super Bowl?
