Come See About Me.. Or not.

Hello

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: Come See About Me (1964)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune?    Hear it here.

1) In this song, Diana Ross sings that she's given up her friends for her boyfriend. Have you ever had a lover your friends disapproved of? Has a friend ever dated someone you didn't care for?

 Haha, frequently. 

2) Without her man at her side she feels uncertain. Let's be more positive: what's something you're sure of? 

There is a Creator who cares about his people.

3) When this song was popular, the Supremes were known for their elegant hair and wardrobe. When was the last time you got dressed up? 

 To go out to dinner I always dress up a bit and on holidays.

4) The Supremes went on to have a dozen #1 hits. This must have been hard for Betty McGlown, the fourth Supreme, who left the group before they recorded their first song. Can you think of an opportunity you missed?

5) After she left the Supremes, lead singer Diana Ross went on to have a successful solo career. But it hasn't always been easy. She stumbled in her high heels and broke her ankle as she left the stage after a November 2012 concert. Have you taken a tumble recently?

Yes.  My shower chair had a loose screw though I didn't realize it.  The leg collapsed inward and  the chair went over backwards with me in it. I hit my head on the wall behind me.

6) Ever the trooper, she honored her commitment to perform at a White House-sponsored Christmas concert just weeks later, even though her leg was still in a cast. Tell us about a time when you "played hurt."

Never played hurt.  It's foolish to play around with your health and safety,

7) In 1964, when this song was popular, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was born.    What was in your most recent Amazon shipment?

American flags for July 4

8) Also in 1964, women still routinely wore white gloves to complete a outfit. Short gloves that ended at the wrist were popular for everyday wear. What fashion trend do you wish would come back?

I'd like to see hats and more formality  for every occasion like it used to be.  Dressing has gone way downhill.

9) Random question: If you were in the witness protection program, what new name and occupation would you choose for yourself?

I think they choose it for you but my new name will be Puddin' Tain and if you ask me again I'll tell you the same.    As a job I will do what I've done already.. be a ghost writer who enjoy seeing her books in stores while no body knows who the real aurhor is!

Or even better, I will be the owner of the local greasy spoon!
