Rings..

Surprisingly, this week went by very slowly I thought.  It was cold and very windy and I am under the weather lately. 

 The weekend promises more rain, cold and wind..  I hope your weather is great though

Here is this week's Saturday 9 which is always a lot of fun to do.

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: Rings (1971)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here

 1) This song is about a young man who is happy to hear his phone ring. How about you? How do you feel when your phone rings? (Excited, annoyed, surprised, etc.)

I  have A Fib.  When my phone rings my heart jumps and I don't appreciate that.  Its dangerous. So I mostly keep my phone off now.   I don't like talking on them or being radiated by the stupid things.

2) He's got James Taylor on the stereo. Are you a James Taylor fan?

 Not ,  I am really not a "fan" type of person.

3) He tells his girl he's been hanging with his buddies, Tony and Mario, but they're no substitute for her. What friend did you recently spend time with?  What did you do?

 No one lately.  Beem staying to myself. I am just not doing well and I need to lie down often.

 4) Tony and Mario were real people. They ran a restaurant frequented by the songwriters. Did you dine out this past week?

 No.  It's been a while since I ate out.

5) "Rings" is the only hit for the band Cymarron, who hailed from Memphis, a town known for classic southern comfort foods like biscuits and gravy, cornbread and mashed potatoes. What's on the menu at your home this weekend?

 This is a rough week with storms and solar storms... Lentils with Mexican spices.  Am I alone in thinking that Mexican food is like a gift from God to the human race? 

6)  The boys in Cymarron took their name from their favorite TV show, the Western Cimarron Strip. What TV show are you currently enjoying? Maybe your fellow Sat9ers would like it, too.

 I am always up for  Law and Order.  I'ms a great fan of City Confidential and.  I also like to watch  Midsumer Murders.  I enjoy the Miss Marple and Hercule Poitot series as well.

7) In 1971, when this song was popular, the US Mint introduced the Eisenhower Silver Dollar. Is there any change in your wallet or pocket right now?

  Yes, I have change.

8) Also in 1971, Mattel introduced Malibu Barbie, the doll with a tan. Have you ever used a tanning bed?

 No.  

9) Random question –  What is a skill you wish you could instantly master?

speaking many foreign languages in a flash.

since we hate rules, I changed the question.
