Divided by Love

Friday began with gusting winds and bright sunny skies. There was supposed to be rain but that wonderful wind blew it away. It was chilly and  a wintry 36F, just as it should be.As Spring approaches, we can expect unstable weather and increased winds

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!

Two Divided by Love (1971)

Unfamiliar with this week's song? You can hear it here.

1) Sam's teacher told her she'd use math every day. What's the last math problem you solved? (Did you add to/subtract from the balance of your checkbook ... use division to figure out how much you'd
save with 25% off that sweater ...)
Today in figuring the amount of material and foam needed to recover 4 chairs. I find Algebra is something I use almost every week.

2) The lyrics tell us that if you take away the rain from a flower, the flower just won't grow. Do you

have any indoor houseplants? Could they use a drink of water this morning?
I do have indoor plants and they were watered a few days ago.

3) This week's artists, The Grass Roots, are introduced in this video by country music superstar Kenny Rogers. Who is your favorite country music singer?
I think George Strait, Josh  Turner, Hal Ketchum., Dierks Bentley.

4) The two unmarried members of the group -- guitarist Warren Entner and drummer Ricky Coonce -- competed for a lady's affection on a 1968 episode of The Dating Game. Neither of them won! She chose Bachelor #1. Anyway, have you ever appeared on a game show? Do you know anyone who has?
 No. I knew someone who appeared on Jerry Springer as a weirdo. He told me the shows are fake 100% and people were paid to act like idiots.

5) The Grass Roots were originally called The 13th Floor. They chose this cheeky name because many high rises do not have a 13th floor since 13 is considered an unlucky number, and they were thumbing their noses at superstition. Are you superstitious?
In some ways, probably.

6) At the time of his death in 2011, group leader Rob Grill was still playing music, touring with a reconfigured Grass Roots. His widow Nancy referred to him as "one lucky son of a gun" because he'd been able to support himself as a musician, doing what he loved for 45 years. In what ways do you consider yourself fortunate?
To be alive and have a family.

7) In 1971, the year this song was released, Walt Disney World opened in Florida. The Epcot Center was added in 1982. Have you ever visited this, or any, Disney theme park?

Nope and never will.  

8) Fresh chicken was just 43¢/lb. in 1971. Do you prefer the breast or drumstick?
 I like breast and thigh meat and cooked with lemon and garlic and Dijon.


9) Random question: Do you work well under pressure?
I can work under pressure, if its good work I am not sure.
