Saturday 9: All of Me (2013)
2) John wrote this love song to his wife, Chrissy Teigen. The couple recently lost their baby after pregnancy complications. To whom did you most recently send a sympathy (or "thinking of you") card or message? My art director has been diagnosed with cancer. I sent her a card letting her know she can lean on me.
4) When he was growing up, John's mother, Phyllis, helped support the family as a seamstress. Are you any good with a needle and thread? I can hem and mend, but that's it.
6) John is a judge on The Voice. Do you watch that show? Or America's Got Talent, or American Idol? I watch Idol on occasion. The Voice has too many rules about teams and steals and I get confused and bored.
7) In
2013, the year this song was popular, twin baby pandas were born at Zoo
Atlanta. Their panda parents had been given to the US as a gift from the
Chinese, with the understanding that any offspring would be given to
China. So, in 2016, the panda cubs were flown to a Chinese conservation
center. They had a hard time adjusting at first, confused by jet lag,
unresponsive when spoken to in Chinese, unimpressed by their new diet.
Have you ever found yourself similarly overwhelmed when you traveled far
from home? (BTW, the pandas are doing just fine now in their permanent
Chinese home.) I remember having a terrible time adjusting when I got home from my one and only trip to Europe. All I wanted to do was sleep, and sleep some more.
8)
Also in 2013, The Pope posted his first tweet. What social media platforms do you regularly use? Facebook and Twitter.
9) Random question: Have you ever a) written something on a public wall or b) carved anything into a tree of bench? What is the statute of limitations?
That is nice that you have been to Europe. I like meat too, but have to lit my red meat. Sorry about your art director having cancer, my aunt has it too. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your answers today.
ReplyDeletePrayers for your Art Director.
Have a good Saturday my friend.
I know a couple of people like your friend. I absolutely love that quality in them. They bring the sunshine with them wherever they go! I can't get into The Voice, either. Lots of talent, but the format...meh. I don't always get to see it, but I love watching The Masked Singer. Have you seen that one yet? I think you'd have been a very good "That Girl." :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband would love to have beef! But it makes his gout flare so he has to watch his consumption of it. Kind of ironic since we raise beef cattle.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Panda check. :) I remember that whole thing. If I recall there were those here who thought, "Screw you we're keeping them..
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of The Voice or any of those shows really, but I watch with my friend Rita so we can text and keep in touch. We would have lost touch years ago if not for that show. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend.

I watched The Voice before all those strange little games they play with steals and so forth.
ReplyDeleteIn my youth I had many things where the statute of limitations applies... not major things but more like the crazy things kids do. Back then you got a ride home in a police car to face your parents.
ReplyDeleteIn all t he places where we've traveled, we have gone on cruises, which isn't like being part of the actual country. China was the most different because we spent more time off the boat than actually on it. It was different because we couldn't read signs or speak the language. There were four of us traveling together and it didn't take too long for us to frigure out what we were doing.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that your co-worker's cancer was discovered early. That makes all the difference in the world.
ReplyDeleteThe statute of limitations for defacing public property is a thousand year, or Armageddon, which ever comes first. 😉
