Only Love Can Hurt Like This
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 to answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions!
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) In this week's song, Paloma Faith sings that she thought she wouldn't care if her lover left but now she's begging him to stay. Can you think of something you were surprised you missed when it was gone or over? I can't think of a "thing" I really missed but there are many people I miss now that they are gone.
2) Paloma obviously has a powerful, versatile voice. She's also a trained dancer. Tell us about two things you do well. I don't do anything "well". I'm a "jack of all trades and master of none".
3) She was a judge on two British TV shows: The Voice and The Voice Kids. Do you watch competition shows (The Voice, American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, etc.)? If so, are you any good at picking the winners? I loved Dancing with the Stars the first few seasons but don't watch it anymore. I do love The Voice and recently got hooked on Tournament of Champions. Rarely does the competitor I like end up winning.
4) This week's song was written by Diane Warren. She's one of America's most successful song writers, having written more than thirty Top 10 hits. Think of your favorite song. Do you know who wrote it? No, I would have to look it up.
5) She's made a fortune writing love songs, mostly from her Hollywood Hills office. Diane spends up to 10 hours a day in a room she describes as "cluttered," and admits it's an unlikely setting to write about romance, yet it works for her. Describe a setting you consider romantic. Gosh, I'm not a romantic and neither was Joe. How about having dinner together at the kitchen table and talking about whatever comes to mind? I do miss that and eat most of my meals on a TV tray in the living room now, with the TV for company. I talk to the cats!!
6) In 2014, when "Only Love Can Hurt Like This" was popular, Joan Rivers died. Best known as a comedienne, she was also a successful businesswoman, promoting her jewelry line on QVC. Do you ever watch shopping networks? Nope. Never watched them. Dangerous stuff!!
7) The Apple Watch was introduced in 2014. Are you wearing a watch as you answer these 9 questions? I do always wear my inexpensive water resistant non-digital, not smart watch.
8) One of the best-selling books of 2014 was The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. It won awards for best YA (young adult) fiction. Is YA a genre you often read? Not since Harry Potter with granddaughter Lauren, as they were released, and The Warriors books (by Erin Hunter) that I read with grandson Tristan. It was fun and we discussed them on the phone since they lived in New Jersey and we were in Florida. Lauren is 34 and Tristan is 27 if that tells you how long it's been!
9) Random question: What's something on your to-do list that you just can't get around to doing? Still making progress in my den, but there are miles to go before it is organized. Baby steps. I did get the furniture rearranged!
God has blessed me richly!!
Of course you talk to your cats. I talk to mine, too.
ReplyDelete#2...I feel like that also. I don't think I am great at anything. I do a lot of training to become better at teaching, so that is what I picked. Loved your answers! Have a great weekend. ♥

Great answers. Hey, just so you know, we eat on our TV trays in the living room in front of the TV now too, unless we have company. And to be honest, we rarely say a word to each other while we are eating, unless something really crazy happens on TV! We don't have pets, except when the grandpups come over, and we do talk to them a lot, so I can imagine what would happen if we had our own pets. I've noticed it's pretty amazing how much those doggies understand about what is being said. You really have to be careful what you talk about. Never say go outside or walk, time to eat or go for a ride or want a snack while the doggies are anywhere near. They definitely understand those words! LOL.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a pleasant and wonderful weekend. Were you expecting company this weekend? Seems like I remember something about that, or am I behind a week? Take care and God bless you whatever you are doing!
Some of my best conversations are those with Macie and Grace. They can't 'talk human' but that's okay because their daddy can't hear! (lol).
ReplyDeleteI need to check out Tournament of Champions!
