Saturday 9: Haunted

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: Haunted (2013)

Unfamiliar with this week's featured song? Hear it HERE.

 1) In this song, Beyonce sings that she's sure if a man is haunting her thoughts, she must be haunting his. Who is on your mind this morning?  My daughters. 

2) The lyrics mention her "wicked tongue." Have you said anything recently that you wish you could take back?  Not recently.  Actually for a long time.  I put my tongue on notice that everything that ran through my brain was not to be repeated into the air of any Earthly space.  

3) Beyonce says her lucky number is 4. Her birthday is 9/4, her mom's birthday is 1/4 and her husband's birthday is 12/4. She chose 4/4 for her wedding day. Do you have a lucky number?  Yes, I consider 13 to be my lucky number because of the meaning attached to the Thirteenth Hexagram in the Book of Changes, which I have studied since I was first introduced to it in the late 1950's. 

 4) Beyonce told an interviewer  that, while on the road, she loves to eat Popeye's fried chicken and the fast-food chain offered her free food for life. She admits she's been too embarrassed to take them up on it. If you could get free food for life from any restaurant, which restaurant would you choose?  That would be Panera, hands down.

These questions will help us get into the Halloween spirit ....

5) Candy corn is a trick-or-treat staple. Do you like it?  I like it and have done since I first was given some for  trick or treating in Ohio.   We all had to share it with Mother, because she also liked it. 

6) In 2019, the most popular pet costume was a pumpkin outfit designed for dogs. Have you ever dressed your pet in a costume?  No.  It's a cute thing to do but I've never done it.

7) According to the Guinness Book of Records, the award for highest number of jack-o-lanterns in one place went to Keene, NH, where in 2013 there were 30,581. How many carved pumpkins will be at your home on Halloween?   There won't be any carved ones but I did make ceramic ones and some plastic ones "Witch" will be out.  

 8) In years gone by, the Irish celebrated Halloween not with pumpkins but by carving turnips, potatoes and beets. Are any of those foods in your kitchen right now?  

No, not any of them.  

 9) Some Elvis fans believe they have seen his ghost hovering in the trees over Graceland. Have you ever seen a ghost?  Yes though we never actually SAW her.  I told this before but a long time ago.  

She was the spirit of  the sweet young woman who died in our first house.  She  would move things -like flipping books on the bookshelf, and things -while we were watching.  She also followed us to this house for awhile doing very sweet little things until we did a "Rest in Peace" ceremony  for her.   It was very calming to have such a nice invisible house guest.  I know.. You may think... "California Kookiness", but it was really very touching and sweet to have her around.  She left after a year or so after moving with us.  

 

Thank you Sam!
