Welcome to Saturday: 9.
Hosted by Samantha~
Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs (1993)
Unfamiliar with this week's song. Hear it here.
1) This is the theme from Frasier, a TV show that ran from 1993 to 2004. Were you a fan?
Yes, and still am on Netflix!!
2) The show is about a radio advice show host, Dr. Frasier Krane. When you listen to the radio, do you tune in for talk or music?
For me it is music but I hear talk half the time because of who know who
3) The theme's composer explained that tossed salad and scrambled eggs are both "mixed up," like the people who called Frasier's radio show. Which did you eat more recently, tossed salad or scrambled eggs?
I had tossed salad on Wednesday and egg salad yesterday so I suppose TS it is!
4) Peri Gilpin played Roz, Frasier's coworker at the radio station. The actress originally cast was Lisa Kudrow, but the show's producers didn't feel she was "right." Being released from Frasier gave her the opportunity to accept a bigger and better part: Phoebe on Friends. Can you think of a time when a setback was really a blessing in disguise?
Well, I agree Lisa would not be quite right... and I am sure that God has intervened for my good on my original plans but at the moment I can't think of a time!
5) Dr. Krane shared his home with Martin, his retired dad. Martin's favorite chair was well-worn recliner, held together in parts with tape. Frasier tried to replace it by giving his father a brand-new, expensive leather chair as a gift. Martin wanted his old recliner back. Tell us about a present you either gave or received that wasn't a hit.
My sweet aunt gave me a Christmas present one year that was really nice, for the right person, just her style, but definitely not mine..
I found a reasonable facsimile on line.. I mean nice but!! Then where does one store it!
6) Kelsey Grammer played Dr. Krane on three different series (Cheers, Wings and Frasier) over 20 years. What job have you held the longest?
I taught school for 30 years
7) Before he found success on Cheers, Grammer played bit parts on the daytime dramas Ryan's World and Another World. Have you ever followed a soap opera?
I sort of hate to admit it, but I have followed Days of Our Lives since 1965. They have become family to me!! đ Thank goodness you cans speed through it and keep up, even miss it for a month and ...keep up!!
8) In addition to work in front of the camera, Grammer has done voice over work on commercials for Dr. Pepper and Cheerios. Are either of those products in your kitchen right now?
Dr. Pepper is our soda of choice!!!
9) Random question: You're invited to a party where dinner is served buffet style. There's spaghetti with tomato sauce, barbecue spare ribs and buffalo wings. When the evening is over, how likely are you to have a food stain on your clothes?
Even if I wore a bib and a dish towel tied around me I'd have a stain somewhere!
Every once in a while, I just have to have a Dr. Pepper. I crave that fruity taste.
ReplyDeleteI know. we usually only drink water, but if I want to splurge it is a wee glass of Dr. Pepper.. A 8 pack will last us for a month or more.. but I ahve to ahve one in the house for that immediate need!!
DeleteI have seen those fruit things. I think my Granie had one. I do not know who has it, but if my mom does, it will be mine one day. Oh boy. My Granie had it in her dining room.
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way about the characters on As The World Turns...they felt like family and then they took it off the air and I still wonder about them. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend!

I so understand.. YOur family sounds like ours.. Grandma was a thrifty Scots woman who kept everything for a rainy day.. She ahd 6 daughters and was always happy to help them as she was able .. She was a dairy farm wife and had scads of really cool antiques that everyone int ehf amily wanted some day.. My mother the oldest got the gate leg table thst had a dozen layers of paint on it.. She had it refinished thene veryone saw waht a treasure she ahd.. But she also got a truck load of stuff that she kept and then 4 years ago I had to go through and make decisions about...ur one and only daughter nad child tells me relentlessly.. mom.. "get rid of stuff... I dont want anything of yours " Makes me feel
Deletehuh great.. but we do have differing styles and this generation doesnt value nice quality of yesterday.. so I make lots of trips to Salvation Army!..
My husband and his sister are both addicted to Dr. Pepper. I only drink water and tea these days. But he has to have his Dr. Pepper.
ReplyDeleteI've also seen those fruit things. I think they are made in Italy. It's hard to get rid of stuff but it seems young women today don't value antiques or hand me downs much. Their tastes are simpler perhaps, but I like the memories of things from grandparents and parents.
