Saturday 9: Beautiful People (2019)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This song is about the fantasy of being one of the "beautiful people," but how hollow the reality can be. Do you often find yourself envying others for what they have?

To be perfectly honest  the thought has passed my mind..  I do not    want to be  envious,  and I do realize that  many times having  expensive things  often comes with  a boatload of issues!  So it is a vice I try to avoid!

2) Ed Sheeran sings that he and his girl don't fit in well because they're "just ourselves." Who among your close friends do you find it easiest to be "just yourself?"

Our bestest friends, Dottie, Bill, Gerri and David!!

3) The lyrics refer to Hummers and Lamborghinis. What's your dream ride?

I dream of owning a Land Rover, only because I read about them in some of my Scottish novels!  haha

4) Ed believes in giving back. One cause he supports is No Cold Homes, which helps ensure that everyone in the English city of Bristol has the fuel needed to keep their homes safe and comfortable. Here in the United States, he's raised funds for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Is there a cause that's near and dear to your heart?
We love  to give to Operation Smile!  Also, we have sponsored children in India for years through Bibles for the World!

5) Ed's arms are covered in tattoos, so clearly he doesn't suffer from trypanophobia, or a fear of needles. How about you? Do you look away when the doctor gives you a shot?
Shots don't bother me..but no tattoos thank you very much!

6) One of Ed's tattoos is a bottle of Heinz Ketchup. What condiments would we find if we peeked into your refrigerator this morning?
Mayonnaise, honey mustard,  ketchup, brown mustard,

7) Ed is a natural redhead, a trait he shares with only 2% of the population. Does red hair run in your family?
My husband has the most gorgeous auburn hair..but  we   adopted.So we didnt get to see if it would pass on!

8) In 2019, when this song was released, the FDA recommended the approval of a drug for treating peanut allergies in children. Do you suffer from any food allergies, or sensitivities?

No, but our oldest grand daughter can't eat peanuts!

9) Random question: What of these do you think is the biggest contributing factor to success -- hard work, luck or talent?
I would never dismiss hard work..I feel that some of the problems of society today is that  many people do not work hard for  success.. They  expect much for little input!
