Saturday 9 – Don’t Stand So Close To Me

written by Thom - February 19th, 2010 at 8:16 am

It’s Saturday 9 time. I would like to send a big Mahalo to

sam+sigof Saturday 9 for hosting this meme. It’s great fun. To read the other participants entries or to participate yourself, click the link just mentioned or the picture above. The rules are simple:

Welcome to Saturday 9. What they’ve committed to their readers is that they 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 they do “random questions,” so-to-speak. They encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because they don’t have any rules, it is your choice. they hate rules. They love memes, however, and here is today’s meme!

Saturday 9 – Don’t Stand So Close To Me

1. Who would you like not to stand so close to you? Someone with BO!

2. Which of the following aspects of your life would you think rates the highest: mind, body or spirit? Mind!

3. What is your favorite movie line? Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead!

4. What is your favorite movie title? One that’s in English so I can read and understand it.

5. What is something that has happened to you that you would consider a miracle? Not a damn thing. I don’t believe in miracles.

6. What do you try to stay away from? Nuclear Waste!

7. What is it too late for? Jay Leno and The Tonight Show

8. Give someone credit for something and name it if you can. Jon Gosselin redefining Scumbag!

9. Would you rather be famous now & forgotten after you die or forgotten now & famous after you die, forever? And why? Is this a trick question? NOW! When I’m dead I can’t brag about myself.

Guest Book for Dr. John

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!

Hey, it’s only my opinion.

    You’re great. I’m great. We’re all great together. (Except for Sara Pallin and Jon Gosselin – HOWEVER YOU SPELL THEIR NAMES.)

    I love it! And I could echo Nessa and Mar! And no one here wants to get me singing, believe me!

    singing is a no-no to me (or rather my audience) as well…

    Is there a county style version of this template I could look into? Where did you find it? Or did you design it yourself? I just love how the plumeria, palm tree, & turtle stays put while scrolling! So cool! LoL!

      I had it designed from Bert at Web Considerations. The link to his site is below the fish at the bottom of the page. I’m glad you like it my friend :)

    I believe in miracles and I think you are one. God made you special.

    I’m betting God will SHOW you a miracle one day — and He’ll even make sure you NOTICE it! Just a hunch….

    #9… I prefer to never be famous… not now… not later. And I think I’m doing a fiiiiiiine job of it.

    I prefer avoiding nuclear waste – of course if it was NW OR ALLIGATORS – I’d risk the waste. or NW vs spiders – that would be a coin toss really.

    You don’t believe in miracles? That’s sad. What about the miraculous? … Like the fact that Quilly lived just blocks from you and that you and your family have already visited her in Friday Harbor. I’d call that quite miraculous! Tomato … Tomootto if you ask me. ;)

    Mwah! xxoo

      Miraculous to me is different than a miracle. Yes Quilly living by me was miraculous but it wasn’t a miracle. Same with going to Friday Harbor. Here’s why I don’t believe in miracles…to me they are like cures for something. Or an event that is horrific and something makes it all right. I dunno…Spike is confused on this issue more than likely LOL :) MWAH!!!

        One of the reasons that life is so complicated is that often people have slightly different definitions for the same words, but then we thing that we’re speaking the same language! LOL

        We probably don’t have exactly the same definition of the word “miracle.” And that’s okay. For me, there’s gotta be at least a little divine intervention. And that’s not the same as “miraculous,” which it something that seems like it could have had divine intervention.

        But I will say that in my book Quilly, Melli, Dr. John, and I getting so close to you here, demonstrating that not all churchy people are self-righteous, sanctimonious, jerks qualifies as a minor miracle. ;)

        Have a wonderful weekend! Mwah! xxoo

          This makes perfect sense to me and I’ll admit also that maybe there has to be divine intervention in the mix somewhere. be this a minor miracle, a stroke of luck or just a fact of life I’m glad all of you are in my life. It’s become richer because of it :) I also firmly believe everyone has a right to their belief’s and opinion’s. They might not be what I agree with but it makes for great conversation and friendships if you ask me. MWAH!!!

    Sometimes I believe in miracles for example when I am looking for my glasses and find them !

    One of these days I’m going to get the laundry done early enough on Saturday to play one of these memes on the same day! :)

    The only answer which immediately came to mind is, “I don’t want any POLITICIANS standing next to me. I fear they’re upgrading their pick pocketing skills.” :)

    Have a great weekend. There’s an archery tournament out back, behind the house [the range is actually across the road] so I’m staying indoors today and tomorrow.

    Now I’m going to have that Police song running through my head the rest of the night!! :P

    I see miracles every day. Have you looked outside lately?

    • Thom
      February 20 2010 at 6:39 pm

      LOL…Ooops…me to I must say :) Sure I look outside but I think the word miracle is holding me up :) Look at the comment with Larisa above if you come back here to see this comment :)
