1) This was Whitney Houston's first big hit, her introduction to a mass, national audience. But music was not her first career. While she was still in high school, Whitney was a model and Seventeen magazine covergirl. Is there a print magazine in your home right now? If yes, who is on the cover? there are no print magazines here anymore, which makes me sad
2) During her modeling days, she also appeared on packaging for Simplicity patterns. Can you sew? I can do basic mending and buttons
3) "Saving All My Love for You" was the record that made Whitney Houston a superstar in the UK. Let's flip that: Tell us about a British performer you enjoy listening to. I really enjoy Harry Styles--I like his vibe and his voice
4) This song was composed by Michael Masser. He left his career as a stockbroker to pursue his passion for music and scored his first major hit with "Touch Me in the Morning" by Diana Ross. Do you feel you have a greater affinity for the analytical/logical or the creative/emotional? I think I relate better to the creative/emotional
5) The lyrics were written by Gerald Goffin. He, too, took a circuitous route to music success. After high school he joined the Navy. When that stint was over, he went to college and studied chemistry. He worked in a lab for a while, but that was just to earn a regular paycheck until he could support himself with songwriting. What was your first job after you finished your education? How long did you stay at that job? I worked as a cashier at a supermarket for a year and did some part-time teaching at the local high school
6) While this week's song was Whitney's first hit, it wasn't her most biggest hit. That was "I Will Always Love You," from the soundtrack of her movie The Bodyguard. "I Will Always Love You" was written and originally recorded by Dolly Parton. The film's star and producer Kevin Costner called Dolly personally to get her permission to use her song, a courtesy she appreciated. Who has recently been thoughtful or kind to you? because of my broken foot--I have had to rely on people for everything you can imagine--people have been so kind and thoughtful, even random strangers
7) Whitney was a big fan of tomato soup. So is Barbra Streisand. (Maybe is bestows some kind of musical superpower!) What's your favorite soup for an autumn day like today? I love tomato bisque, it is my favorite soup. But really, I love soup and I'm not fussy
8) 1985 wasn't just big for Whitney. It was also the year Bruce Willis became a household name when his TV series premiered on ABC. Can you name it? Moonlighting with Cybil Shepherd--I loved it!
9) Random question: While dining out, have you ever sent food back? I honestly don't remember ever sending something back, it certainly doesn't happen regularly

I totally understand about your foot … I once had a soft cast on my right foot because of a severely sprained ankle. I’m so glad people are helping you. It makes so much difference, doesn’t it?
#6 When I broken my foot I have to borrow my mother’s automatic because I couldn’t a standard for a long time.
#7 For me thumbs down on split pea soup with ham, my grandmother used to make it all the time
I find being short is a hindrance; I also have a bad back, so I am always asking people to help me get stuff from the high shelves at the market. Apparently the stores think we are all 6 ft. tall.
It's good that you are getting help. I have to do the same with my bad back and broken finger. I can't even drive because I can't grasp the steering wheel. I like almost any soup.
Bisque! I forgot that the local sports bar has a freaking awesome lobster bisque.
