That's What Friends Are For

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: That's What Friends Are For (1985)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This week's song is performed by an all-star quartet: Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder. You have your choice: which of these four would you most like to see in concert?   I wouldn't turn down tickets to any of them in concert, but I think I know all the words to most any song Dionne recorded.

2) Dionne Warwick was Whitney Houston's cousin. Name a Whitney Houston song.  

3) Gladys Knight owns a chain of chicken and waffle restaurants around Atlanta. When you have waffles, what do you top them with? (Powdered sugar? Butter? Syrup? Fruit?)  Butter and syrup, but I'm not a big waffle fan.

4) Elton John has turned his bad eyesight into a hobby, claiming that over the years he has purchased well over than 200,000 pairs of glasses. Do you wear glasses? Yes, since first grade, actually.  If so, how many prescription pairs do you own?  Only one with a current prescription.

5) Stevie Wonder has a scar on his nose from a 1973 car crash. Have you ever been in a car accident?  Yes, twice.

6) Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager were married when they wrote this. Do you know a husband and wife who work together?   Boil it down and don't all husbands and wives work together?  
 
7) This song celebrates friendship through good times and bad. Tell us about a happy time you recently shared with someone close to you.  Well, I've written about Joe's good news and the great times I've had recently with my BFFs Elaine and Karen.  Yesterday, at work, we celebrated our techie guy's 20th anniversary at the Museum with a nice luncheon and testimonials. It was very nice and he is a friend as well as a co-worker. I've been blessed with lots of happy times lately!

8) Now share a time when you were there for a friend through a tough time.  Joe is my best friend and I've been through his stroke and heart problems with him; I've been supportive to Karen and Cindee and Melanie during their illnesses and surgeries, even at a distance. I hope I have helped my sister with her husband's stroke as best I could so far away. I think I provided a shoulder for a couple of friends going through a divorce.  The power of prayer is an awesome thing and if I can't do anything else, I pray. 

9) Random question: When is the last time you were out of breath?  With my bad knees, I don't travel fast enough anymore to become out of breath.

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!

Scrambling this morning to get things done.  Our boys will arrive this afternoon and we are sure looking forward to some fun times!  Watch for my weekend recap on Monday!!

Thanks for your visit!! Peace & hugs.
