Reba is our Saturday 9....

Is There Life Out There?

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!

Is There Life Out There? (1992)

   
Unfamiliar with this week's song. Hear it here.

1) This song is about a woman who married at 20. It's estimated that the average American groom is 2.5 years older than his bride. Why do you suppose that is?  I haven't a clue. It doesn't apply to me.

2) A 2014 study shows the bigger the age gap in a marriage, the more likely the couple is to divorce. What do you think is the reason for most divorces?  Joe is 14 years older than me and we have been married 33 years. Again... doesn't apply to me! As for why people divorce, I think that is obviously different for every couple but probably boils down to not communicating, not respecting each other, and not having been ready for the commitment of marriage.

3) Reba's second marriage recently ended. Statistics show that second marriages are more likely than first marriages to wind up in divorce. Why do you suppose that is?  I really have no idea since (again) I have no personal experience. Perhaps because one of the people was not as committed as s/he should have been... got out of the first one and can get out again if it doesn't work?

4) This week's featured artist, Reba McEntire, was discovered when she sang The National Anthem at an Oklahoma City rodeo. Have you ever been to the rodeo?  Nope.

5) Reba dropped out of Southeastern Oklahoma State University to go to Nashville and pursue a recording career. In that way, she's like the woman she sings about in this week's song. "She's done what she should, should she do what she dares?" Do you ever regret a risk or opportunity you didn't take?  Nope. No regrets here.

6) Reba's heroine is "dying to try something foolish, do something crazy, or just get away." Does that sound like you? It does not.  What would you do, just for yourself, if time and money were no object?  Just for myself?  At this time in my life? I can't think of a thing.  I would rather include those I love in whatever I do.

7) Reba recently became a spokesperson for Kentucky Fried Chicken. Whose chicken do you eat most often: Popeye's, Church's, Chick-fil-A or KFC?  Publix.  We buy Publix spicy wings more than the others.  I do love Popeye's spicy chicken and Cajun rice; I love Chick-fil-A; we don't have a Church's in Lakeland.  Haven't been to KFC in years - not sure why.

8) In 2001, Reba starred in her own sitcom. On the show, her character is first an administrative assistant and then a real estate agent. Have you ever tried your hand at either of those occupations?  Nope. If not, which do you think you would be a better fit for you?  Since I've been an office manager, business manager, and an accountant, I guess administrative assistant, but I'm not sure any boss would put up with me.  Nonsense makes me nuts and I'm not a typist or a note/minutes taker.

9) Random question: Which of these superpowers would you rather have -- extraordinary strength or invisibility?  It would be so fun to be able to be invisible!!
