She's in Love with the Boy

She's in Love with the Boy

 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!
 

She's in Love with the Boy (1991)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it HERE

Note to Sam:  That is one very pretty love song. 

1) This song tells the story of Katie and Tommy. She waited for him to pull up in his beat-up Chevy truck. Tell us about your wheels. Well, you see, it's like this....... 

*Saunters to front of stage, left, and says, as an aside*:

 "Gabriel, come blow your horn, She's ranting again!" End Scene. 

We have a non working Truck but it's not beat up, but it also isn't running.  And we have a Jeep.  One of the little ones. It does work.  This is an ongoing saga of sloth and indecision that exists when you have been through so much trauma in the last 8 years that you just don't give a &*$%* anymore.  

I'm sure the neighbors will all throw a party when it finally gets towed away.
 
2) Katie and Tommy stay out until 12:30 AM. What time did you go to bed last night? I retire to bed at 9:30 and then read or play free cell until I fall asleep. Sometimes I catch up on the rotten crap going on in and around Ukraine.  This whole thing really toasts my soul. 

3) The lyrics tell us, "What's meant to be will always find a way." Do you agree? Sure, because we tend to accept what happens to us, no matter how lousy, or unfair it is, because we know there is no other way to live through it.  

We tell ourselves that it was a lesson learned, or it was bloody old Karma, or just God's will. Weed helps us to do this, or drink, but it doesn't really change it into something good, it just makes it easier to bear up under it. I find that revenge is a dark dark alley and generally just stay clear of ANY dark alleys in life as a matter of principal.

4) This was the first big hit for Trisha Yearwood. While she's found her greatest success in music, she's also written top-selling cookbooks. Are you a better singer or cook?  At one time I was very good at both.  Now I am just very happy that I do NOT have to sing for my supper, nor do I have to cook it. 

5) Trisha also appeared in six episodes of the TV drama, JAG. She played a medical examiner and forensic pathologist, which means her character had a medical degree and (at least) one year of additional training. That's (at least) five extra years of higher education. Do you enjoy taking classes? Yes. However: There was a time that I still tried to get my degree, not to teach Special Ed, as  that ship had sailed, but I still wanted to have a Fine Arts degree.  Now?  Meh.. It's still fun to learn new things, like Trigonometry, but it's not as easy to stay motivated. 

6) In real life, Trisha earned a degree in Business Administration before going into music. She uses what she learned in school, keeping a close eye on her finances and those of her superstar husband, Garth Brooks. She says she likes and trusts the people hired to their money, "but I check on them." Do you keep a careful eye on where your money goes?  We are pretty frugal.  I watch it (money) go out the door mostly for books and yarns.  The last of two commodities are now, absolutely, in SABLE territory....

 

7) In 1991, when this song was popular, Dances with Wolves was a hit in the theaters. Have you seen it?  I've seen it, and we own it, and we watch it again every few years. I still will not sit through the mule and mule skinner's killings though.  I've never seen the whole thing..or heard it.  I split!  The rest of the movie, I can watch fairly peacefully. I'm not sure I've ever forgiven Wes Studi for that one. heehee

8) Also in 1991, Seinfeld was a big deal on the small screen. It's still popular in syndication on cable channels and on streaming services. Do you more often watch broadcast TV or streaming/on-demand channels? That would be Streaming.  The last thing I watched on broadcast TV, other than Nature or other PBS shows, was "Major Dad".  What a hoot! I'm not sure what "on Demand" even is.

9) Random question: Have you ever gone a day without laughing?  Of course.  And I'm pretty sure I am not alone in this.

 

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here.
