Don't Envy Me (1963)
1) What is it about you that you believe your friends and acquaintances envy? I've never thought of anything like that. It's not in my nature.
2) Do you have a friend or acquaintance that you envy? As I answered in the question above It's not in my nature to envy or think others envy me. As far as I'm concerned we are all equal plus we all have a God given talent in one way or another.
3) This song was not a hit, even though it was written and produced by the super successful team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Tell us about a project you had great confidence in at the beginning, but didn't turn out as well as you'd hoped.? Plenty in my day, for instance a painting, a poem, a needlecraft, etc., etc., but I would just forget about and start all over again.
4) George Hamilton is better known as an actor. He is proud of his performance in the 1960 movie Light in the Piazza. He played an Italian who romances an American girl on holiday in Florence. Did you ever find love while vacationing? 😍 No, but I was flirted with and some attempted to romance me. I'm saying it like it was when I was young, and no I never was interested even though one young dentist wanted to marry me. Flattered yes, interested no.
5) George had a small part in Godfather III. How many of the Godfather movies have you seen? Have you read the book? Being Italian and married to an Italian at the time I've seen all three movies and read the book. Today I would not watch or read any of them.
6) He's gotten a lot of publicity over the years for his personal life, including his 1966 romance with First Daughter Lynda Bird Johnson. At the time, she was living in the White House. Tell us about a memorable experience you had "meeting the parents." I'm skipping this one and pleading the 5th... 😉😇
7) George is also known for his year-round tan. Have you ever used a tanning bed? Or self tanner? Never. I'm not a fan of skin cancer plus the fact in the past 3 years I can't even sit in the sun to get a tan for I break out in hives as I've become allergic to the sun.
8) In 1963, when this record was released, President Kennedy made a historic trip to Ireland. Have you ever visited the land of your ancestors? Yes I have and loved visiting many parts of Italy.
9) Random question: The last of a batch of delicious chocolate chip cookies just fell on your kitchen floor. Would you eat it? Absolutely not, I don't care how clean the floor is even if it was a favorite pastry, pie, cookie, cake of mine.
Until the next time dear family and friends, be blessed
Enjoyed your answers Toni. I saw all the Godfather's too and wouldn't see them again. Happy Saturday. I am hoping to go back to sleep!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your answers...when I first my in-laws--and looking back on it--I should of ran--that was 37 years ago. LOLOLOL
ReplyDeleteLOL!! Linda, his mom asked to see my birth certificate as she thought I was too old for her baby. He was always her son and I was the "stranger". I could go on but it's water under the bridge. I've learned to forgive (thanks to God) and forget.
Delete#5 - me being married to an Italian, is the reason for seeing it several times as well. One of my nephews did a skit on the Godfather and did a great job on it.. and had my father inlaw playing the accordion in it as well. Loved reading all your answers! Have a great Saturday!
