Haunted

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: Haunted (2013)

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

 

1) In this song, Beyonce sings that she's sure if a man is haunting her thoughts, she must be haunting his. Who is on your mind this morning?  This is the evening when I'm writing this but thinking back, my neighbor, Susan, was on my mind because she has been coming over to change the bandaid on my back for me.  I had a biopsy done at the dermatologist earlier this week and it needed a bandage change for a couple of days.  I wanted to email her that she didn't need to come over (at 7:00 a.m.!!!).  It is doing okay now.  I have the best neighbors!!

2) The lyrics mention her "wicked tongue." Have you said anything recently that you wish you could take back?  No, not that I am aware of and I hope not!

3) Beyonce says her lucky number is 4. Her birthday is 9/4, her mom's birthday is 1/4 and her husband's birthday is 12/4. She chose 4/4 for her wedding day. Do you have a lucky number?  I don't really think of it as "lucky" but I will pick 11.  My birthday is 12/11, and Joe and I were married on 5/11.  A good number for me!! 😀

 
4) Beyonce told an interviewer that, while on the road, she loves to eat Popeye's fried chicken and the fast-food chain offered her free food for life. She admits she's been too embarrassed to take them up on it. If you could get free food for life from any restaurant, which restaurant would you choose?  Popeyes is pretty good, for sure, but I will pick my favorite Asian Bistro, Gosh!!  Yum!

These questions will help us get into the Halloween spirit...

5) Candy corn is a trick-or-treating staple. Do you like it?  Not especially.  I don't buy it but I will pick at it if it is in a candy dish.

6) In 2019, the most popular pet costume was a pumpkin outfit designed for dogs. Have you ever dressed your pet in a costume?  No. None of my cats would put up with it.  My last dog was a collie and he would have put up with a little but I never made him suffer the embarrassment. My community is having a Halloween Pet Parade this week  (while I'm at work).

7) According to the Guinness Book of Records, the award for the highest number of jack-o-lanterns in one place went to Keene, NH, where in 2013 there were 30,581. How many carved pumpkins will be at your home on Halloween?  Not one.

 

8) In years gone by, the Irish celebrated Halloween not with pumpkins but by carving turnips, potatoes, and beets. Are any of those foods in your kitchen right now?  I have potatoes, and sliced pickled beets in the fridge.
 

9) Some Elvis fans believe they have seen his ghost hovering in the trees over Graceland. Have you ever seen a ghost?  Nope.  Not sure I want to see a ghost!!

Peace & hugs!!

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee God of glory, 

Lord of love.  Hearts unfold like flow’rs before 

Thee Op’ning to the sun above.
