1) Do you have any aches or pains this morning? I'm doing this Friday evening, but yeah, I do and I'm sure I will have a few in the morning. Aches and pains have become near constant companions thanks to arthritis.
2) In this song, Linda Ronstadt complains that her ex doesn't get what she's going through. Have you recently felt misunderstood? Not that I can think of.
3) Now let's put a positive spin on it: Is there someone in your life who gets you completely? Not really these days.
4) Linda recorded a best-selling album in Spanish, and has also performed in French, German and Italian. How many languages do you speak? Just one. I had 4 years of French in school, which were useless. I wish I had studied Spanish.
5) Linda once dated George Lucas of Star Wars fame. Who is your favorite Star Wars character? Han Solo or Chewie.
6) Steve Martin has spoken affectionately about Linda and their romance in the 1970s. Are you a Steve Martin fan? I liked him back in the 70s, but haven't really been a fan of his later work. It's okay...just not my thing.
7) Linda worked consistently and successfully with record producer Peter Asher throughout the 70s and 80s. Tell us about someone you enjoyed working beside. I enjoyed working with a friend of ours who was the youth pastor at the church we attended at the time. He was like a kid brother to me, but also he taught me so much and gave me a chance in youth ministry. I was very disappointed when he betrayed his family and church later on and left ministry.
8) In 1980, when this song was popular, People magazine namIed author Stephen King one of the year's most intriguing people. Have you read any of his books or short stories? I've read a couple of his books and seen a couple of his movies, but I don't like horror and his stuff can be so dark.
9) Random question: Looking back on last week, would you describe it as exciting or boring? It wasn't boring or exciting, just very busy.
Thanks, Sam, for the music and questions!
Play along here.
We both chose Hans. I am leaning against a heating pad right now for my lower back. I was just feeling better to and then I lifted something, and I felt it hurt. I can't even lift 10 pounds anymore. Sorry about the youth pastor going astray. I know it happens. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a beautiful day, Stacy. Sorry about the youth pastor...we had a pastor who left and forsake the teaching of the Bible to follow his son and the alternative lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteI am new to arthritis. Just had it diagnosed over the summer. I'm learning to manage it with ice packs, stretches and creams like Icy Hot. Keeping it under control takes so much attention I feel like I have a new hobby.
ReplyDeleteI think most of us who participate in Saturday 9 have reached an age where aches and pains are the norm.
ReplyDeleteWow, I like the Christmas bulb background! Very pretty. It's always sad when people disappoint us, but then I have found that they generally do eventually. Thanks for your comment on my blog. Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteYou sound like me studying French. I took 2 years in high school and a year in college. Then a year of Spanish. I don't use either.
ReplyDeleteI have arthritis also. I hate it. Mostly in my back and hips. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend.

Altogether I have had 7 or 8 years of French classes. I can't speak it but I understand if it's spoken around me and I can read it.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what the count would be of being misunderstood.
ReplyDeleteI used Biofreeze a LOT, and also I wrap up in a heated throw to help my back and shoulder and neck. A traditional heating pad is just too small to cover my aches and pains! I enjoyed your post. I am sorry about your friend the youth pastor. People make mistakes, even good people, godly people make mistakes. I pray God will help him to get back on the right track in his life some day. Forgiveness is so important ...forgive himself, and others forgive him as well. Praying. I had 4 years of spanish in high school, but have never really used it. I have a very basic knowledge of it and could probably find my way to the bathroom and someplace to eat,..the most important things for me! LOL. have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your answers, Stacy. We all seem to have those aches and pains. We just get through it. Happy weekend.
