Saturday:9 on Saturday the 9th!

Thanks to Crazy Sam (Samantha) for another fun Saturday:9!!  Join in the fun HERE!

Five O'Clock World

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: Five O'Clock World (1966)

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

1. Think back to Friday. Did it fly by? Or did you find yourself checking the clock and wishing it was 5:00?  It was just yesterday, and yes, I did check the clock frequently It was a long time coming this week!

 2. This song refers to the 5:00 whistle that signifies the end of the work day. What's the last whistle, alarm or 

buzzer you heard?  Yesterday's alarm clock (at 5:00 a.m.). I don't set the alarm for Saturday unless I have somewhere to go in the early morning.

3. In the 1960s, the Vogues often appeared on TV variety shows to promote their record albums. Do you have the TV on now, as you answer these questions?  No, it is not on right now and that is rare. The TV usually runs non-stop when we are home.

4. "Vogue" means "popular or fashionable." Tell us about something that you feel is in vogue today.  Well, since I don't care that much about fashion and being in style (too heavy, too old, and too tall for "fashionable" things to fit properly and/or look good), I had to look it up.  Vogue Magazine says biker jackets are in vogue. I don't have one, nor do I want one.  I would like to find a denim jacket, though!  I want to look nice in my clothes, but I must be comfortable.

5. Vogue magazine reported that the big Fall/Winter trend was brocade. Describe the latest addition to your Fall/Winter wardrobe.  Joe got me three lovely Alfred Dunner tops for Christmas.  Each one has a little bling on it and I really like them! He has good taste and is a better shopper than I am.

6. Vogue editor Anna Wintour is such a difficult boss that disgruntled employees nicknamed her "Nuclear Wintour." What qualities do you think make a good boss?  Trusting your staff to do their job; listening to your staff; laughing with your staff!

7. Ms. Wintour was rumored to be the inspiration for the character of Amanda in the book and movie, The Devil Wears Prada. Did you receive any books or movies for Christmas 2015?  No. Did you receive any gift cards that you then used for books or movies?  No.  My books are all on my Kindle now and we quit buying movies when we got our Roku and purchased Netflix.

8. "Vogue" was also a dance, made famous by Madonna in her 1990 hit by the same name. Can you name another Madonna song?  Material Girl.  Like a Virgin.

9. Random question from a Sat9-er: How organized are your clean clothes? (Stacked in piles, folded neatly in drawers, still in the dryer....?)  I hate to iron, so my clean clothes are always hung in the closet and or folded neatly, ready to wear.

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us next week for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!

Happy Saturday, everyone!  Thanks for peeking in today!  Peace & hugs.
