Saturday 9

 

✒Today is the 7th day of the week and another weekend is upon us.  Weather here warm but cool nights.

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!

 Saturday 9: Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast (1972)

 Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here. 
 As for me, I don't like tear jerker songs/movies/books so this one is not one I like at all.

 1) This song is about a little girl who runs after her daddy. When is the last time you ran? Were you trying to get somewhere in a hurry, or playing a sport?
I am disabled. It's been decades. I walk semi okay though  😎

2) This song was a top ten hit for Wayne Newton. Mr. Newton is better known for his TV work, having made more than 150 appearances since 1963. Have you ever been on TV? Or in a YouTube video?   No to both questions!

 3) The road leading to Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport is named Wayne Newton Blvd. in his honor. When is the last time you were at an airport? Were you flying somewhere, picking someone up, or dropping them off?

1980 something

4) Wayne says Elvis Presley haunts Las Vegas, and believes that The King of Rock and Roll has given him performing and parenting tips from beyond the grave. When did you last see Elvis? On TV, on a t-shirt, poster or magazine cover, or as a ghostly apparition?

 Probably in photos long after he was dead.  I am not an Elvis fan.😛

My grandmother liked some of his songs though. 

5) When Sam walks with her own dad, the problem isn't that he walks fast. It's that he's always stopping to pick up litter he finds on the grass. Litterbugs are his pet peeve. What's your pet peeve?
 Drama Queens, Karens, stupid people who all seem to be in the spot light  lately.

6) Sam's own father often traveled for business, and always gave her the complimentary soaps, shampoos or body lotion he got from the hotel. When she went away to college, she used her collection of little bottles and was grateful for all the money they saved her. What's something you've done recently to economize?

I've always done this.. I don't buy paper towels. They are a waste of money.

7) It was her father who taught Sam to drive. Are you a better student or teacher?

for driving? I don't want to be either one.

8) Sam's father also always asks if her car in "tip top" condition. Most recently he reminded her to test her headlights, tail lights and turn signals while the car is parked to make sure they're all working. Do you have a car maintenance tip to share?

No, I don't.

9) Sam's father satisfies his afternoon sugar craving with an almost endless stream of Butter Rum Lifesavers. Do you usually enjoy a between meal snack?
I usually don't eat between meals. If I have anything other than a meal though it is celery or a carrot.

Tomorrow is Sunday Stealing and Tuesday will be Tuesday 4.
