Rings

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
 
1) This song is about a young man who is happy to hear his phone ring. How about you? How do you feel when your phone rings? (Excited, annoyed, surprised, etc.) if it's a call I'm expecting, I am fine with it, but usually I'm surprised or annoyed
 
2) He's got James Taylor on the stereo. Are you a James Taylor fan? yes
 
3) He tells his girl he's been hanging with his buddies, Tony and Mario, but they're no substitute for her. What friend did you recently spend time with? What did you do? my teacher bestie and I went to Central Maine last Saturday for shopping and lunch
 
4) Tony and Mario were real people. They ran a restaurant frequented by the songwriters. Did you dine out this past week? no, but I will on Saturday
 
5) "Rings" is the only hit for the band Cymarron, who hailed from Memphis, a town known for classic southern comfort foods like biscuits and gravy, cornbread and mashed potatoes. What's on the menu at your home this weekend? pizza
 
6)  The boys in Cymarron took their name from their favorite TV show, the Western Cimarron Strip. What TV show are you currently enjoying? Maybe your fellow Sat9ers would like it, too. on BritBox, a series called Ludwig
 
7) In 1971, when this song was popular, the US Mint introduced the Eisenhower Silver Dollar. Is there any change in your wallet or pocket right now? nope
 
8) Also in 1971, Mattel introduced Malibu Barbie, the doll with a tan. Have you ever used a tanning bed?
before a trip to Aruba, I got a special package where I worked up to ten minutes in the tanning bed over a month of sessions
 
9) Random question – If we were to ask your friends, which of these qualities would they say they like best about you: your warmth, your sense of humor, or your intelligence? all three would be answers depending on which friends

I am so tempted to get Britbox! I cancelled Hulu over the Jimmy Kimmel thing so there are a few extra bucks in my budget. On the other hand, I spend more on cable/streaming than just about anything else every month, and maybe I should put the breaks on. I don't know ... I hate being an adult.

I already have streaming services I pay for but don’t really use, so I’m going to have to be an adult and say no to another one

I don't think anyone quite gets me like my teacher bestie. I am glad you got to have a day with yours.
I have had several things I want to watch show as only on BritBox. They have good shows. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend.

I have a feeling nobody would ever state I have "warmth" but I can live with that.

I think some would say intelligence, but that is not important to me now. Sometimes common sense is more important than intelligence!
