The Saturday 9...

 Thanks to Crazy Sam Winters for today's nine questions!  You can join in HERE!



I Can Love You Like That



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: I Can Love You Like That (1995)
  
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This week's song is about a girl who grew up on the fairy tale Cinderella. The online teaching platform study.com says Cinderella has remained popular for centuries because the moral is that kindness is a virtue that will be rewarded. As an adult, do you still believe that's true?  Yes, I do.

2) This girl also likes romantic movies. Think of your favorite screen couple. Did they live happily ever after?  How about Ozzie and Harriet?  I think they lived happily ever after. (I've been watching the reruns on Prime.  So fun!)

3) While "I Can Love You Like That" was a Top Ten hit here, it reached #1 in Canada and Zimbabwe. Could you find Zimbabwe on a globe?  Nope.

4) The members of this week's group, All-4-One, hail from Mojave, California. July and August are the hottest months in Mojave, when the afternoon temperature hovers between 87º and 97º and often climbs to 100º+. Do you thrive or melt in hot weather?  I live in central Florida, so I can handle the hot weather, but I prefer staying in the AC, especially in July and August.  

5) After having several hits in the 1990s, All-4-One saw their popularity wane in the new millennium. While they never disbanded – and will be touring throughout 2025 – the members have pursued separate interests. For example, co-founder Delious Kennedy started a YouTube channel featuring interviews with celebrities from the 80s and 90s. Do you spend a lot of time on YouTube? If yes, what do you watch?  I watch YouTube on my TV and do watch some favorites a few times a week.

6) In 1995, when this week's song was popular, Michael Jordan "unretired" and returned to the Chicago Bulls. Tell us about a decision you wish you could undo.  I don't play that game.  The decisions I've made in my life have brought me to where I am.  I won't change it.  God is so good!

7) 1995 saw Pierce Brosnan as James Bond in GoldenEye. 007 was also played by Sean Connery, David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Daniel Craig. Do you have a favorite Bond?  Sean Connery was the best but they all played it well.  I do also like Daniel Craig.

8) One of McDonald's best-selling 1995 Happy Meals featured The Power Rangers. 30 years later, those Happy Meal action figures are still available on eBay. Have you recently purchased anything on eBay?  No, not on eBay but I did buy my new cupboard and drawer pulls on FB Marketplace.

9) Random question – Which compliment would please you the most: to be smart, great looking, or likeable?  Likeable, please.

Peace and Hugs!

So I’ll cherish
The old rugged cross
Till my trophies
At last I lay down;
I will cling
To the old rugged cross,
And exchange it
Someday for a crown.

  1. #7 ~ Yes, Sean Connery and Daniel Craig were the best 007's. To me the others were just awful.
    The hymn lyrics at the end is one of my fav's. I do cherish the Old Rugged Cross and what Christ has done for us all.
    Blessings. 🌸

  3. Kindness always trumps the rest! I think my favorite screen couple was Taylor and Burton ... but ya, we all know how that turned out. I used to pine for good looks, but now I'd much rather be considered likeable. Happy weekend hugs!

  5. Pierce Brosnan is my favor Bond and Roger Moore is my second choice. Enjoyed your answers and "likeable" would be my choice too. Have a great weekend.

  6. AC is the only way to survive a Florida summer! I don't like to play the regret game, either, but not fighting Tim and our son on him going off to the big city for school is one I do have. Had he not gone there our family may be very different today. These were fun questions this week and I enjoyed your answers. Have a great weekend!

  7. IMHO, Sean Connery was the best Bond ever, although Pierce Brosnan wasn't bad. And in the summer, I'll take the AC. I'll miss seeing you around next week, Terri, but you know I'm excited to have the grands here! Blessings!

  8. Yes, Sean Connery to me was the iconic James Bond. I never really watched the others. It just wasn't the same. yes, we have to have our AC here in Florida, pretty much year round sometimes! We've been having a lot of days recently where we had ac in the daytime and heat at night. Crazy. Yes, you will always be known as likeable, but you are also very smart and very nice looking too! You got the whole package!

  9. I enjoyed all of your answers. Sean Connery was a great James Bond. Alabama is like Florida - we need our air conditioning!!
