Just for Fun: Does your toilet paper roll over the top, or down the back? It depends on how awake I am when installing a new roll.

Today's Question(s): What song makes you stop what you are doing and pay attention to nothing else when you hear it? There are tons of songs like that as I'm really into music ... Usually, it's a new song or an old one I haven't heard in years that will do that
What is it about that song that you like so much? Maybe the rhythm or passion of the song.
Just for Fun: Does your toilet paper roll over the top, or down the back? Over top
Bonus Question: Have you ever seen the aurora borealis/australis? Nope
Today's Question(s): What song makes you stop what you are doing and pay attention to nothing else when you hear it? There are many - mostly songs from my misspent youth in the 1960's. eg Crying in the Rain (Everly Bros), Silence is Golden (Four Seasons), House of the Rising Sun (The Animals) - and almost any of the early Beatles songs.
What is it about that song that you like so much?
They take me back to a time and a place.
Just for Fun: Does your toilet paper roll over the top, or down the back?
Over the top - can't cope with toilet paper rolls that are put on back to front.
Bonus Question: Have you ever seen the aurora borealis/australis? No. I'd like to though - if only it didn't show up in such darn cold places!
Today's Question(s): What song makes you stop what you are doing and pay attention to nothing else when you hear it?
Probably novelty songs from the 50s--I'd stop to listen out of curiosity. Why it was being played and is some fun announcement about to follow? If somebody playsItsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, for instance--you just know something fun is about to be announced.
Just for Fun: Does your toilet paper roll over the top, or down the back?
Sorry, that's top secret! Even Pierce Brosnan couldn't get this privileged info out of me.
Oh, OK, if you give me a plateful of really chewies brownies I'll talk....
Bonus Question: Have you ever seen the aurora borealis/australis?
In Alaska, but unfortunately it wasn't a good display. That was the only bummer from that trip.
What song makes you stop what you are doing and pay attention to nothing else when you hear it? There are many but the one that comes to mind 1st would be Norman Greenbaum's Spirit in the Sky.
What is it about that song that you like so much? It's hubby's favorite song and a few memories are tied up in it.
Just for Fun:
Does your toilet paper roll over the top, or down the back? Over the top. And I've been known to slap my hands so I don't "fix" someone elses
Bonus Question:
Have you ever seen the aurora borealis/australis? No I'd love to tho.

What is it about that song that you like so much?
It usually accompanies some emotional event so if I have the TV on, I'll come in from another room to see what's going on.
Just for Fun:
Does your toilet paper roll over the top, or down the back?
Whichever way I put it up. I'm not fussy and don't pay attention to that.
Bonus Question:

No.
