Buttons n' Bows

Howdy Partner,
Today's Saturday9 is all about Buttons and Bows.. or well, no it's not really. But it is about right here!
questions inspired by that song which you can hear

1) The lyrics extol the beauty of "rings and things and buttons and bows." When you're
getting dressed, do you give much thought to accessorizing?
Yes, I do.   I like to look nice when I go out or even just stay at home. I'm not fond of the current trend of sloppy dressing.

2) Dinah Shore sings that she doesn't want to live where the cactus hurts her toes. Sam can sympathize, as she has a blister on one of her toes from where her winter boots rub. Do you have any aches and pains to report this morning?
None that anyone would be interested in hearing about.


3) Dinah was such a popular entertainer that people were surprised to learn she earned a degree in sociology from Vanderbilt University. What is something we'd be surprised to know about you?
I really have no clue.

4) Dinah's was the best selling version of this song, which was introduced by Bob Hope in the movie  The Paleface.   Hope had success early in his career as a song-and-dance man on Broadway. Are you better at telling jokes, singing or dancing?
Better at dancing, then singing. Joke telling..not at all.

5) Both Bob and Dinah donated their time to entertaining the troops in WWII. It was during a USO tour that Dinah met and fell in love with actor George Montgomery, who was serving in the Air Force. They were married for 20 years and had two children. Their daughter followed her parents into show business and became an actress. If a young person asked you for career advice, what would you tell them?
Find a job that you can work in anywhere and at any age.

6) Dinah was an avid golfer and even sponsored an LPGA tournament. She was also an excellent cook who hosted TV cooking segments. Which would you find more relaxing -- an afternoon on the golf course or in the kitchen?

On the golf course. I like being outdoors. I always wanted to play golf too.

7) In 1948, the year this record was a hit, Scrabble was introduced. Do you prefer word games, card games, board games or jigsaw puzzles?
I like games that I can play with people.  I like jigsaws when I am alone.

8) Also in 1948, LPs (33 1/3 rpm records) were introduced. Do you have any vinyl records in your home?

Yes but now my daughter has the bulk of my collection which extends back to records my father owned in the 1930s.

9) Random question -- Which of these would you consider the greatest insult: to be called boring, untrustworthy or stupid?

I wouldn't want to be called any of them.

Tomorrow is Sunday Stealing.
