Saturday 9: It's Not Unusual....

Thanks to Crazy Sam (Samantha Winters) for another Saturday 9:!!  Visit her HERE to join in!

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: It's Not Unusual (1965)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Check here.

1) In this song, Tom sings that "it's not unusual to go out at any time." Will you be "out and about" this weekend?  Yes, we will.  Unfortunately, we have two funerals to attend today, and we go to church on Saturday (Vigil Mass).  I don't think we have plans for Sunday, though!

 2) Before his music career took off, Tom supported himself and his young family by working as a vacuum cleaner salesman. Could the room you're in right now benefit from a thorough cleaning with a vacuum?   Ha!  Our entire house could be vacuumed every day, and would still need it an hour later! We have four cats and three litter boxes....

3) You can purchase a verified Tom Jones autograph on eBay for $299 (or the best offer). When you were growing up, did you collect signatures and sayings from your friends? (Autograph book? Yearbook? Cast?)  We had friends sign our yearbooks, so yes.  Thankfully I never had a cast that friends could sign.

4) At the height of his popularity, female fans would throw their panties onstage at Tom Jones. Sam can't imagine doing this, and not just because she's not that crazy about Tom Jones. She'd be embarrassed because her underwear drawer could use a serious refresh. If you could choose one new article of clothing to add to your wardrobe today, what would it be?  Well, my underwear could also use a serious refresh.  As to what article of clothing I would add to my wardrobe....new slacks.

5) "Tom Jones" is also the name of character in a famous 18th century novel. Tell us about a character from a book you wish you were friends with in real life.  Oh my gosh, I've "met" so many great characters in books I've read.  How could I begin to pick just one?!

6) When this song was popular in March 1965, Sarah Jessica Parker of Sex and the City fame was born. Do you share your birthday with anyone famous?  Rita Moreno (December 11th)

7) Also in 1965, when this song was a hit, Americans were riveted by the Gemini space program and children all over the country wanted to be astronauts. Think back to your childhood: When you were in first or second grade, what did you want to be when you grew up?  A beautician. 

8) Fifty years ago, the most popular headache reliever was aspirin, and you could buy a bottle of 200 tablets for just $1. Do you have any aspirin in your medicine chest right now?  Yes, baby aspirin.

9) Random question: You've just entered a public restroom. Would you rather find a paper towel dispenser or hot air hand dryer? Paper towels, unless the hot air dryer is one of the new really good ones.  Just wish they weren't so loud.

The Leadership Forum yesterday, was great!  I'll write more about it on Monday. Photos weren't allowed during the speakers' presentations, so I didn't get any.  A friend took a few anyway, and she said she would send me one of Marcus Luttrell.

Wishing you a good Saturday!  Thanks for stopping by!  Peace & hugs.
