Today Is Saturday, January 24, 2026: This Is What Happened

 

Yesterday, I copied and paste part of my post, and put in Night Cafe prompt and this the art work they came up with. It reminds me of one the great masters artist.

Here is Saturday 9.......

 Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we 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 we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Up the Ladder to the Roof (1970) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? HERE IT IS.

1. Many people are uncomfortable with ladders. Some feel unsteady on the steps, others have a fear of heights. Then there's the superstition that warns against walking under ladders. Are you afraid of ladders? No, I have a lot of respect for them. And use common sense on them.

2.  In this song, the Supremes advise us to go up the ladder to the roof to be closer to Heaven. While poetic, that's not really why most homeowners climb onto the roof. They're more likely replacing shingles or cleaning the gutters. Have you ever been on the roof of your building? Yes, I been on roofs. If hubby and I didn't take care of basic things, like snow shoveling. Which doesn't happen every snow season. Because of our income we need to it our self. When a professional needs to be called in, we will.

3.  The record was the Supremes first and biggest hit without Diana Ross. When Jean Terrell replaced Diana as lead singer, the two ladies appeared together at a press event to launch this new iteration of the Supremes. Have you ever met your replacement at a job, or perhaps the person you replaced? No

4. Mary Wilson was a member of the group when it was formed in 1959 and stayed through 1977, when the Supremes officially disbanded. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average American stays at a job 3.9 years. Looking over your job history, how long did you typically stick with an employer? I don't recall lot of them. But my last homecare job. I stayed I stayed over five years. A few of my restaurant job was short lived. They thought I was to nervous.

   My father worked 50 years on the railroad.

5. The third Supreme performing on this record was Cindy Birdsong. After the group broke up for good, Cindy finished nursing school and practiced at UCLA Medical Center. When did you last interact with a nurse or nurse practitioner?  It been a while, but my yearly physical is end of March. So I will see the nurse, as well as a doctor.

6.  In 1970, when this song was popular, TV shows about doctors like Marcus Welby, MD and Medical Center ranked high in the Nielsen ratings. Medical shows are still popular today, with Grey's Anatomy entering its 22nd season and The Pitt earning critical accolades. Do you have a favorite TV doctor? I don't think I every had favorite doctor or medical show.

7. Also in 1970, when this song was popular, audiences were lining up to see the movie Love Story. Without looking it up, complete the film's most famous line: Love mean one can always be straight forward and honest.

8. Slumberchums™ were all the rage among pre-teens in 1970. These sleeping bags had attached pillow "heads" that made it look like you slipping into sleep inside a plush bear. When did you most recently sleep in a sleeping bag? Never heard of them. I was 10 years old in 1970

9. Random question: Did you take a multivitamin this morning? If yes, did you swallow it or chew it? I don't do multivitamin. My doctor said I need to be taken vitamin D3. When I go walmart of Wednesday. I will get anther bottle.
