Saturday 9.. So Emotional, a song by Whitney Houston.

Saturday 9: So Emotional (1987)
 

Dear Readers:

The Air smells like burnt animal fur.  So, I'll be keeping this short and sweet.

Here is the Meme HOME, where you can see the Linkie to the other participants' pages.

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it HERE

1) Whitney sings that she keeps her lover's photo beside her bed. What's on your bedside table?

A lot of stuff.  Everything I need is on it. 

2) She's getting frustrated, waiting for the phone to ring. If your phone were to ring right now, who would you expect to be on the other end?
No one Except a doctor calls me, so that's who it would be.  The rest of us text.

 
3) The video was filmed at Stabler Arena in Bethlehem, PA. It seats 6,200. As the nation reopens from Covid19, would you feel comfortable sitting knee-to-knee with a stranger in an arena like this?
No.  I didn't come this far to trash it all on anything unimportant like this.

 4) This week's featured artist, Whitney Houston, appeared on the daytime drama As The World Turns. She played herself, performing with Jermaine Jackson at the Miss Cinderella contest in the fictional town of Oakdale. Have you ever been hooked on a soap opera?

Not a day time one.  But I couldn't get enough of the old Addison one.  What was that called? 

 5) Whitney had a sweet tooth, and her favorite breakfast cereal was Fruity Pebbles. Do you often eat cereal for lunch or dinner?
No.  I don't feel it's very appealing.  Not much about food is appealing but I still love pastas and rice dishes. Actually we don't even have any breakfast cereal in the house anymore.

6) At Whitney's wedding to Bobby Brown, her bridesmaids all wore lavender dresses and the groomsmen had custom made alligator shoes. Have you ever "stood up" for a friend or relative? If so, do you remember what you wore?
My sister, and I wore a navy blue "Church-going" dress.  She got married in Balboa Park.

7) In 1987, the year this song was popular, Cher won the Oscar for Moonstruck. Her most famous line was, "Snap out of it!" When you think of Cher, do you first think of her movies, her TV show, or her music?
I have always liked Cher, her music and all her movies.  I'm sure I haven't seen all of them but only most.  I never even knew she had a TV show or I probably would have watched it.  Lol

8) Michael Douglas won the Oscar that year for Wall Street. His most famous line was, "Greed is good." His character goes on to say that, "Greed in all its forms -- greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge -- has marked the upward surge of all mankind." Do you agree?
Obviously not.  I think that this sort of greed has been the downfall of Modern Civilization. I don't think Knowledge belongs in that collection of Greeds, either.  Any, more than anything else, the thirst for Knowledge is even a Noble Art.

9) Random question: When you woke up this morning, were you ready to get out of bed? Or do you wish you could have snoozed for a bit longer?
Since I don't sleep more than a few hours at a time, I usually get out of bed and then settle in with my book and less and less, to social media.  In days gone past, I couldn't wait to see what had hit Twitter.  Now, not so much.   

Thank you Sam, for this great meme.
