It Don't Come Easy - Saturday 9

Saturday 9: It Don't Come Easy (1971)

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

1) This was Ringo's first big hit as a solo artist. Who is your favorite member of his old, very famous group, The Beatles? I really liked Ringo.  He seemed very funny and quirky. Of course, I thought Paul was dreamy. I love them still.  I would have been one of those girls at Ed Sullivan.  
  

2) In this song, Ringo sings that you have to pay your dues. Do you belong to any organizations that require you to pay dues? We pay dues to the Greater Ozark British Motoring Club. 

3) He also sings, "you don't have to shout." When did you last raise your voice? Probably, in frustration, at Totem....He is back to his fussy eating habits.  Last week he was looking for stuff to eat, this week he looks at it....and walks away. I 

4) Ringo has two piercings on each ear and one tattoo on each arm. Do you have more piercings or body art? Just conventionally pierced ears. 
 

5) Ringo gave his first wife, Maureen, a one-of-a-kind birthday gift. Frank Sinatra made a recording of "The Lady Is a Tramp" personalized to her. Tell us about one of your most memorable birthday celebrations. It was not a  celebration for me but we were.....many years ago, able to throw my Dad a surprise party for his 60th. We lived in a great house for parties and everyone was there.

6) Ringo appeared as Mr. Conductor on Thomas the Tank Engine. He recorded the narration for the entire first season in just a week. Tell us what you did last week.  Not a dang thing, except feel bad.  Fall allergies are really bad for me this year.  It has been raining on and off for a couple of days which should, dampen down the allergens. I was looking forward to a weekend outing, which was cancelled for us, by Mr BC getting sick.

7) Ringo also did the narration for Ladybird children's books. Do you like audiobooks? We listen to audio books when ever we can, on long drives in the RV.

8) As a boy in Liverpool, Ringo loved watching American westerns. His passion for the genre is reflected in the outfit he's wearing on the sleeve for "It Don't Come Easy." Do you like cowboy movies/shows? We are currently hooked on Longmire. 

9) You know what else don't come easy? Nine questions every week. Crazy Sam has heard it all: this meme asks too many movie questions, too many questions about sports, too many questions that sound familiar ...  OK, now it's your turn. Help a tired meme mistress out. Contribute a random question that is not about movies or sports (pro or collegiate) and has never been asked before on this meme. Sam will compile these for an all-random Saturday 9 in November. That way she'll get a much-appreciated week off. Thanks for your help!

Do you have any irrational phobias?

Do you tend to hide something about your personality/essence when meeting new people? If yes, what?

Do you practice any kind of escapism? If yes, what kind? 

Do you have to look in the mirror before going out?

Has your 'resting face' ever got you in trouble?

What would your own fantasy world consist of?

A Lazy Sunday Stealing

Taking Stock Meme 

Stolen from: The Blake Collection

 Making:  An apple pie dump cake.  I need to bake something to warm the kitchen up.

 Cooking: Vege-burgers and sweet potato fries for dinner tonight.

 Drinking: Diet cranberry Sierra Mist and Chai Tea.

 Reading: The Princess Bride, just finished Cary Elwes book on the making of the Movie.  I never read Wm Goldman's original book .

 Wanting:  To un-see Kim Kardashian's huge oily butt.  Why???

 Looking: At the last of my magazine subscriptions.  I have chosen not to renew any of them as the print is too hard for me to read I am reading and enjoying the last of my December editions.

 Wasting:  Time on the internet doing my weekend memes and looking at Tumblrs.

 Wishing:  It wasn't so cold and the sun was out so I could walk the dogs.  They are bored.

 Enjoying:  A lazy day.

 Waiting: For July.... to pay for our trip to Europe, so we can get our flight and hotel info and really start planning. 

 Liking: Mint M & M's to an obsession.

 Wondering: If we will really get snow tonight....it's cold enough but the sky is clear so far.  

 Loving: Mr BC and the doggies all the time.

 Listening: To Totes chewing up his squeaky toy that I just gave him because he was bored.

 Needing:  To get a grandson fix...I will try to Skype on Sunday

 Smelling: How sweet smelling the dogs are.  I took them all to be groomed....to cold for a bath at home.

 Wearing: Some of my flannel pajamas that I brought downstairs in my annual switch out of summer to winter,  I had to keep some of the summer out for our trip to CA.

 Following:  The news about Philea and how the batteries have died.  I thought this was a great space adventure

 Noticing: That I need a haircut.  It is curling up at my neck and flat on top because it is just too long.  I think I will wait until after Thanksgiving.  Then I won't have to get it done before Christmas.

 Knowing: I need to find someone to fix my vacuum (a Dyson) and hoping I won't have to b1964uy a new one.  In the meantime I sure need to vacuum. I use to just buy a new cheap one if they crap out...but the Dyson was so expensive to begin with.  I was working then so money wasn't so tight.

 Thinking: About what to get the boys for Christmas.  Making a list on Amazon and I have a couple of ideas.

 Feeling: Confused, about why I am getting so many e-mail error messages, on comments that I am making on some of the blogs I follow.  What is happening is they are not  getting emails that I commented on their posts.....which is ok as long as the comment is there.  However, the error messages are filling up my email on days that I comment on everyone's meme posts. What's with that?

 Bookmarking:  Actually part of what I did on the computer today is deleting a lot of old bookmarks in my files.  So many were out of date and I needed to make folders for other similar ones that I do visit a lot. 

 Opening: My Amazon orders of coats for the dog....and finding I will have to send them back as they are too small....I measured them but the belt that goes around the middle doesn't reach.  I am now going to reorder some coats, that have a girth measurement.  The dogs and I are too lazy to get the measuring done.

 Giggling: At A Hard Days Night on TCM.  I haven't seen it since I watched at the movies in 1964.  

Sunday Stealing

Twist and Shout - Saturday 9

 

1) In the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Ferris climbs up on a parade float and enthusiastically lip synchs this song, encouraging the entire crowd to join in. Do you know the lyrics of "Twist and Shout" well enough to sing along? (Watch the impossibly young Matthew Broderick as Ferris here.)
Yes, I do know the words well enough!  I love it!
