There's no Getting Over Saturday 9!

Welcome to Saturday 9: 

(There's) No Gettin' Over Me

Sam says ...

What we've committed to our readers is that we'll post 9 questions every Saturday.  Sometimes the post will have a theme; and the 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's your choice.  We hate rules.  We love memes, however, and here is today's meme.

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

1.  Ronnie Milsap sings about how worrisome it can be when you realize you forgot to pay a bill.  It's happened to all of us, hasn't it?  Tell about a time you accidentally missed a payment.

I hate to lead with a non-answer … but I can't recall ever having missed an obligation.

2.  He also references a dream that keeps him awake.  Do you have any recurring dreams?

Save a few variations, I'm searching for a bathroom in uninhabited, unfamiliar places … to no avail.  Strange rooms keep unfolding before me.  When/if I discover the 'facilities,' they're all disgusting and overflowing.  (TMI … ya.)

3.  He sings about a face you see in a crowd.  Tell us about someone you see regularly but don't really know.    

Since moving across the country, we've not been out and about that much.  Still, there are a few uber-friendly ladies at church.  In fact, Pastor Janet and her husband joined us for dinner last Sunday.  Nice, down-to-earth folks!

4.  He mentions a book you just can't put down.  What's the last book that you finished?   

Karen Slaughter's Pretty Girls.

I'd little expectations ... and in fact, I supposed it would be a light, 'bubble-gum-for-the-eyes' sort of read.  

Whoa, nooooo!  I'm giving it a solid 4-stars. 

5.  Ronnie Milsap is a big fan of new technology, and believes the advancements make both his professional and personal life easier.  What about you?  Do you embrace new technology, or do you long for the good old days when we weren't so connected to personal devices?

Seriously? I'm the biggest technophobe this old world's ever seen!

On the other hand, were it not for the Internet and social media I'd have missed out on many amazing opportunities and friendships.  I'm not - and never have been - an extrovert, one to mingle unnecessarily. 

  

6.  As a child, Ronnie used to surreptitiously listen to late night radio, especially gospel broadcasts.  When you were a child what rule did you break again and again?   

For more years than I'd like to recall, I was made to take piano and violin lessons … which I loathed.  I'd fib about having practiced while my mother was at work, which, of course, caught up with me.   In spades.

7.  Country star Blake Shelton says Ronnie Milsap was a big influence on his music.  Do you watch Blake on the Voice?

I'm not a big fan of 'new' country music, but I adore Blake's personality.  Yes, we watch The Voice regularly.

8.  In May Ronnie appeared at the Choctaw Casino in Grant, Oklahoma.  Do you enjoy games of chance?  

Not so much, no.  I've nothing against gambling per se, but personally I don't get the point.

9.  Random question:  When did you last "do it yourself" and repair something around the house or yard?   

Ha!  Tom's begun extending the walkway behind our sun room to the parking pad.   I didn't really mean it.  I was just trying to be nice when I asked yesterday morning, "Would you like help?"

Next thing I know, my new pretty gloves are getting all filthy and I was second-guessing my decision to have quit my day job!  In the end, we mixed 600+ lbs. of that stupid quik-crete.

So glad in real life there aren't any 'thought-bubbles' floating over my head!

Th-th-that's all, folks!

Have a great day …. be safe!
