Saturday 9 *late*

Dominos

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: Dominos Unfamiliar with this week's song? Listen to it here.

1) Have you ever carefully set up dominos and then watched them fall? Or built a house out of playing cards?

Yes for both.

2) In this week's song, Big Pink lead vocalist Robbie Furze sings, "The hottest love has the coldest end." Have you ever had a relationship that started out so promisingly and passionately but then quickly flamed out?

I've been with my husband since I was 19.  I only had one serious relationship before that and we were together for 2 years.  I dated in between but nothing that I really thought was going to be really serious.

3) This is from Big Pink's CD, A Brief History of Love. What about your personal history of love? How many times would say you have truly been in love?

I have truly been in love three times.  I fell in love with my husband just a couple of weeks after we met and knew he was "the one" and I fell in love with my children the second I knew I was pregnant with them, and that love intensified when they were placed in my arms.

4) Nicki Minaj sampled this song for her own, "Girls Fall Like Dominos." Nicki won't be back on American Idol this season. Is your reaction a) delight or b) sadness or c) a yawn.

D.) I really don't care.

5) While nationally the news centers on foreign policy and the economy, Sam's hometown is abuzz over the new Asian-fusion restaurant on Main Street and whether it can get a liquor license. What's the big local story where you are?

There are two at the moment.  There was a body found by a some young girls and there is a 10 year old boy missing.  My town is small and relatively crime free so this is pretty scary.

6) Mary Jane Kelley is believed to be the fifth and final victim of Jack the  Ripper. OK, now it's your turn. Share a random fact that's rattling  around in your brain.

It's just after 8 am, I've been up since 6:30 am after going to bed a little past 3 am.  The only thing rattling around my brain is that I need more coffee!

7) Crazy Sam cursed last night when she dropped a can of tomato paste on her foot. (Hey! It really hurt!) When was the last time you swore?

Last night, while talking and joking with friends around the bon fire.

8) Sam has a grocery bag filled with hoodies and t-shirts she no longer wants and plans to take them to The Salvation Army store. What do you do with your gently used clothes? Toss them or donate them or hand them down to a friend or relative?

I give most clothes to Mel Trotter Ministries but the kids clothes I pass on to whoever can use them.  I had a box of Lauryn's clothes in the back of the Trail Blazer that I'd been meaning to drop off and I was glad I hadn't yet when a friend from high school posted on facebook that friend of hers was looking for 3T girls clothes, after a fire in their apartment.

9) Do you blush easily?

No but when I do, there's no hiding it.  My cheeks get super red :P
