Saturday 9

 

Mama Said

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: Mama Said (1961)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This week's song is about a girl who remembers wise advice she received from her mother. Tell us about someone who advised you years ago and to this day you think, "They were right!"

Hmmm … I get paid to give advice.  I’ll have to think about when I took some else’s advice,

2) She sings about hearing chapel bells. Can you hear church bells ringing from your home?

No
 
3) This week's featured artists are the Shirelles, a group formed in New Jersey in 1957. They are credited for beginning the girl group genre. Name another popular girl group.

The Crystals, the Chiffons, the Ronettes, the Supremes, the Bangles, the Go-Gos ….


4) In 1961, when this song was popular, Jacqueline Kennedy appeared on the cover of Ladies Home Journal three times. Is there a printed magazine in your home right now? If so, who is on the cover?

I read magazines in my Kindle app.

5) This song was chosen in celebration of Mother's Day. More phone calls are made on Mother's Day than any other day of the year. Who was your last phone call from?

It was a business call.
 
6) Salons see a bump in appointments around Mother's Day every year. Partly because moms want to look good for their day, but also because hair, spa and nail services are a popular Mother's Day gift. When did you most recently go to a salon, and was it for your hair, complexion, or nails?

Hair, and too long ago.  I need an appointment.

7) Similarly, restaurants experience a spike in reservations on Mother's Day. Where did you last dine out? Was a reservation required?

We went out for Cinco de Mayo, and the restaurant does not take reservations,
 
8) The most popular Mother's Day gift is still the greeting card. Where do you card shop: drugstore, bookstore, card shop, etc.?

Drug store

9) Sam is celebrating Mother's Day with her mother's favorite, Hershey Bars. Would you prefer classic milk chocolate, dark chocolate or chocolate with almonds?

Milk chocolate 







 

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. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!

  4. I make a phone call when I have things to discuss that I don't want in writing. And then hope no one is using a tape recorder. Good advice to Gal up there.

  6. My Seventeen mags,(I have a couple) are not in great shape. I got that photo online . I should photograph them though in case they totally fall apart. If I left them alone, they'd be fine but I enjoy looking through them.

  7. The best place to get greeting cards is Dollar Tree. They even have two for $1.

  8. #2 I used to live a block away from the Congregational Church which is one of the oldest Congregational Churches in Connecticut. The minster was so nice when my aunt was in the nursing home and hospital. The minster used to drop by and visit her weekly, unlike when my father was in the hospital the priest never showed up.
    #3 I could never figure out what “Walk Like an Egyptian” was all about.
