Things that Pop Up on my Feed

Let’s face it. You do one little internet search and for the next few months you’re inundated with ads for that one thing you searched. My bathroom will be renovaated long before I stop seeing ads for Step-in tubs for seniors.

Just sit with your phone on and talk about a vacation to some place and Bam! you have ads about it to your heart’s content. Mind you, we truly enjoyed celebrating out fiftieth anniversary about the Rockey Mountaineer. That the beauty of Big Brother listening. Sometimes, he pushes you in the right direction.

But then again, there are times when my feed is overwhelmed with ads for things I don’t want and videos of recipes I’ll never make in this lifetime–how many of us cook outdoors in mega steel pans? And giving me directions in Chinese, Spanish, or another language I don’t understand isn’t helpful either.

But I do get to keep up with friends, see their dogs, cats, children, grandchildren and vacation posts as well as read their good news and the sad news. Don’t get me started on the jerks who insinutate themselves into my posts or those of my friends, begging me to send them aa invitation because they’ve tried and it doesn’t workk from their end. Buddy, don’t hold your breath. It’s never happening.

But every now and then, I get a bonus.

If you followed my A to Z blog challenge this year, you know I posted a lot of YouTube videos of songs, most of them from my youth. So, this morning, what came across my feed? This video. I remember the Ed Sullivan show well, and it was always a treat to see my bands as guests. Look at the audience. When was the last time you got all dressed up like that? I do when I go on cruises. That could be one of the reasons I enjoy them. I miss dressing up. These days, when I go out, most of the time it’s in clean jeans and a good top. And the bands? They always looked sharp. Today? That color is probably the one I’ll use in my renovated bathroom. Well, I suppose today’s artists are just following the recent trend that clothes do not make the person. Too bad. I miss the good old days.

Well, that’s it for today. Let’s see what comes up tomorrow.
