Saturday 9

Back to Black

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) Black is this week's signature color because Friday, November 29, was "Black Friday," when retailers cut their prices and consumers flock to the stores. Did you score any "Black Friday" bargains?
I had some better things to do then spend the day with crazy ppl. Plus, my shopping is done.
2) Legend has it that Black Friday began as a neighborhood phenomenon among storeowners in Philadelphia back in the early 1960s. What else comes to mind when you think of Philly?
The Liberty Bell and my cousin Brian
 3) Feasting and football are also popular Thanksgiving weekend pastimes. Do your Thursday-Sunday plans include pigging out or watching a game?
I'll be in Pittsburgh all day tomorrow, so I am sure pigging out will be part of that!!
4) At Thanksgiving dinners, Crazy Sam's homemade gravy is always a hit. (Probably because she's so generous with the cognac, which gives the gravy a nutty taste.) Do you have a signature dish?
I do the cranberries and some desserts and this year, rolls.
5) Among the biggest the Black Friday advertisers are Target, Kohl's, Macy's and Best Buy. If you could have a $100 gift card to any one of those stores, which would you choose?
Tarjay!
6) You're in a public restroom that offers both paper towels and a hot air hand dryer. Which one do you choose?

 paper towels 
7) While Back to Black is the best-selling Amy Winehouse CD, her first was called Frank, named for her hero, Frank Sinatra. Tell us about someone you inspires you.
Jesus
 8) Do you consider yourself a pessimist or an optimist?
optimist.
 9) Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone (a verbal conversation -- not an exchange of texts)?
I talked to my Aunt Ann for about an hour today.

  1. I never got in the Black Friday habit as I always had to work. I think it has gotten out of hand as had the whole December holiday.

    1. I totally agree. I used to have to work also, 35+ years, and when my stepkids were little we would go in the evening and we took pictures in the photo booth... our weird tradition. I'll have to double check my ingredients in my home as to never run out of stuff on that day! Thanks for stopping by!! :)

  2. I am envious that your shopping is done!
