saturday stealings

Twilight Zone
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!


Unfamiliar with this week's featured song? Hear it here.

1) This is one of the first songs to see a bump in sales after its video was shown on MTV. Do you ever watch music videos?
On CMT, but heck, the music stations only play shows anymore
`
2) Golden Earring is from the Netherlands. The average life expectancy there is 79 years old. Who is the oldest person you know?
My Aunt Delores is 90
`
3) The song's composer says the song and especially the video were inspired by the 1980 book, The Bourne Identity. The espionage thriller was finally made into a movie with Matt Damon in 2002. Do you have a favorite secret agent/spy?
Not really.
`
4) The song's title comes from The Twilight Zone TV show, which ran from 1959 to 1964. Are there any old shows that you enjoy watching in reruns?

I am a Bonanza and Big Valley kind of girl!
`
 5) "All guys cheat on their girlfriends, so yeah, I forgive him." Sam heard a young woman say that into her phone as they waited in line at the drugstore. While Sam is always surprised by how much personal information people share in the public, that's not what we're concentrating on this morning. Do you think that it's true? Do all guys cheat on their girlfriends?
I have to go with no. Although I haven't had that great of luck with husbands, things are different when you are 55
`
6) Whenever Sam goes to the grocery store she picks up Snausages  because her dog looks at her with sad eyes when she tries to reward him anything else. What product has your brand loyalty?
First off, just an FYI, snausages contain rubber. So they are no reward, believe me. Buy homemade... www.facebook.com/doggone-yummy. That being said, Soaps, Gain, Dawn, Dove have my brand loyalty. Bounty paper towels are the only ones I buy and Ticonderoga are the only pencils I would use
`
7) Do you have a piggy bank or a coin jar?
Coin Jar
`
8) Sam knows that she's always supposed to wear sunscreen, even on cloudy days, but she sometimes forgets. What do you know you should do, but sometimes don't?
Not drink Coffee all day and night long!!!
`
9) Retailers report that sales of Halloween costumes for grown-ups are strong. Since Halloween was earlier this week and there will be parties this weekend ... What's your costume for Halloween 2013?  If you aren't dressing up this year, tell us about one of your favorite outfits from a Halloween gone by.
I really don't remember.

  2. I LOVE Ticonderoga pencils! My husband thinks I'm crazy, but they're the only ones I'll buy and use. Every year for Back to School, I stock up, regardless of how many are already floating around the house. :-)

  3. My mother used to tell me that my very first crush was Little Joe Cartwright. My dad insisted we watch Bonanza because it was in color and we "bought the damn color set." When Little Joe would get shot or punched and then bleed, I'd actually start to cry. So she'd switch to Judy Garland's black and white show. No reason for tears there.

  4. Bounty paper towels seem to be the best all around, I'm in complete agreement on them! :)
