ALMOST Forgotten Tune #67 + Random Songs in My YouTube Feed #19

This video popped up in my YouTube feed six days ago and I shared it on Facebook so as not to forget. I haven’t been feeling very well so I just haven’t had the strength to write a post and post it. I am able to do that right now. It’s better late than never and this song reminds me of staying over at my cousin, Melissa‘s (Cheese), house one summer. I can still remember the mirrored doors to her closet.

A Little Help From My Friends

Yesterday was a bad day and today it is not much better. I really think this whole MS thing is kicking my butt!

I wrote about my friend Ami texting me funny videos to make me feel better. She lives about an hour away from me so I know that’s the best she could do for me! It was very helpful!

My friend, Renee, brought me white bean chili last night. She knows that I am having issues swallowing as of late and it was delicious! I feel most grateful for my friends! They are looking out for me! It makes me smile and I feel loved!

For some reason, I am singing this song over and over in my head and I specifically think of this version:

I love that movie but after tomorrow, my Christmas watching will begin for the next 27 days, until Christmas.

Tune #47 Inspired by GMFB

Two days ago, Jon Bon Jovi was at The breakfast table for two whole segments!

I was kind of surprised at how excited I got for it. Bon Jovi always reminds me of my floor mate, Tonya, at WMU. I tweeted the show and told them to reference, “Make a Memory” but, sadly, they didn’t.

Both Kyle and Peter and even Nate I think referenced a bunch of Bon Jovi songs as they talked to Jan Bon Jovi who is surprisingly is a football super fan! He told them he was going to send over a cheesecake to the studio because it was pretty cheesy. I love, “Cheese” though!

On a technicality, I was inspired to think about this song because of GMFB so, here it is:

This song came out when we were living in our second apartment and it made me think of Tonya back then too! Now, I can add GMFB to the mix!

NOT 40 Yet but I Have Older Brothers!

I’m not feeling well today and my best friend Ami has been texting me fun videos to make me feel better! She sent me this video:

I am not 40 yet but I do have older brothers ( and I am getting close) so I really dig this song! Getting these videos really made me smile! I have so many blog posts to post but I’m not sure I feel well enough to do so yet. In the meantime, you can enjoy this tune just as I am:

Dr. Meizels?

Tonight, I used some of that 2% I feel okay to go with Sean to get our teeth cleaned. How things worked out today was that Sean got his teeth cleaned but I had to reschedule my appointment for January.

As I waited in the waiting room, I texted with my brothers. We are on a group chat and one of my brothers was sending pictures of his vacation. He sent a picture of his view. What has happened is that my other brothers and I will send pictures to the group chat of our view. My brother sent a picture of a beautiful sunset. I sent them all this picture:

I asked the question to the group of who knows where I am at? And my brothers knew where was. Sean and I still go to the dentist I went to when I was a child. I’ve been going there for about 30 years and I had my braces through that office as well. Dr. Meizels was our orthodontist. I let them know that I was listening to soft rock as I waited for Sean. That music will ALWAYS remind me of the dentist! Here is a sampling of some of the music I listened to until Sean finished:

ALMOST Forgotten Tune #66 + Random Songs in My YouTube Feed #18

I watched, A Milliin Little Things yesterday. That’s my show now that I stopped watching This Is Us once I saw that Randall and Beth‘s relationship was not going to last. The Vietnam footage was hard for me to watch and I told my Mom not to watch the episode when Jack died. But I am Diggin this show so far. It’s only the second season and it has proved to have a good soundtrack!

Yesterday, they played this song at the end of the show when dramatic things were happening and today it showed up in my YouTube feed;

The song fit really well in the happenings in the show and I was happy to see a live version of it in my YouTube feed! I’ve had a busy day with Sean’s Ring Day and then because I had rented a van to be able to attend the mass, my Mom and I went to the movies afterward.

I had a really long day out and I am exhausted but I wanted to post something and absentmindedly scrolling through my YouTube feed, I found this. It is another almost forgotten tune AND a random tune in my YouTube feed.
