Indulge in Tranquility: Enjoying a Relaxing Morning at a Cherokee Hotel with Hot Breakfast

In the tranquil heart of Cherokee, Iowa, lies a hidden gem waiting to be discovered by weary travelers seeking solace from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Cherokee's bed and breakfast establishments offer a unique blend of charm, comfort, and hospitality, providing guests with a rejuvenating escape from the ordinary. Imagine waking up to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, the gentle rustle of leaves outside your window, and the promise of a hot, homemade breakfast awaiting you. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the allure of Cherokee bed and breakfasts and how they create the perfect setting for a relaxing morning experience, complete with a hearty hot breakfast.

The Allure of Cherokee Bed and Breakfasts

Cherokee bed and breakfasts epitomize the epitome of hospitality, offering guests a warm welcome and personalized attention that sets them apart from traditional hotels. These charming establishments are often housed in historic homes or renovated farmhouses, exuding a sense of warmth and character that is unmatched by larger accommodations. Each bed and breakfast in Cherokee is unique, with its own distinct personality and ambiance, making it the perfect choice for travelers seeking a more intimate and memorable experience.

Comfort and Tranquility

One of the defining features of Cherokee bed and breakfasts is their emphasis on comfort and tranquility. From the moment you step through the door, you'll feel a sense of relaxation wash over you as you're enveloped in the cozy embrace of your surroundings. Whether you're sinking into a plush armchair in the parlor, unwinding in the comfort of your well-appointed guest room, or strolling through the manicured gardens outside, every corner of a Cherokee bed and breakfast is designed to soothe the soul and ease the mind.

Personalized Service

At a Cherokee bed and breakfast, personalized service is the hallmark of the guest experience. Unlike larger hotels where you may feel like just another face in the crowd, at a bed and breakfast, you're treated like a treasured guest from the moment you arrive. Innkeepers go above and beyond to ensure that your stay is nothing short of perfect, whether it's recommending local attractions, arranging dinner reservations, or simply engaging in friendly conversation over a cup of tea. This personalized approach to hospitality creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes guests feel right at home.

A Relaxing Morning Ritual: Hot Breakfast

One of the highlights of staying at a Cherokee bed and breakfast is the opportunity to indulge in a leisurely hot breakfast each morning. Unlike the standard continental breakfast offered at many hotels, breakfast at a bed and breakfast is a culinary experience to be savored and enjoyed. Picture yourself seated at a beautifully set table, the morning sunlight streaming through the windows as you sip freshly squeezed orange juice and anticipate the delicious meal to come.

The Art of Breakfast: From Farm to Table

At Cherokee bed and breakfasts, breakfast is more than just a meal – it's a celebration of local flavors and seasonal ingredients. Innkeepers take pride in sourcing the freshest produce, meats, and dairy products from nearby farms and markets, ensuring that each dish is bursting with flavor and vitality. From fluffy buttermilk pancakes topped with sweet Iowa maple syrup to hearty omelets filled with locally grown vegetables and artisanal cheeses, every bite is a testament to the bounty of the region.

A Time for Connection

In addition to nourishing the body, breakfast at a Cherokee bed and breakfast provides an opportunity for connection and camaraderie. As guests gather around the table to enjoy their meal, conversations flow freely, friendships are forged, and memories are made. Whether you're swapping travel stories with fellow guests or chatting with the innkeeper about the history of the house, breakfast becomes a communal experience that fosters a sense of belonging and community.

Exploring Cherokee: Beyond the Breakfast Table

While breakfast is undoubtedly a highlight of the morning at a Cherokee bed and breakfast, the experience doesn't end there. After fueling up for the day ahead, guests are encouraged to explore all that Cherokee has to offer, from its historic landmarks and scenic parks to its charming downtown shops and eateries. Whether you're embarking on a leisurely stroll along the Little Sioux River, browsing the local boutiques for unique souvenirs, or immersing yourself in the town's rich cultural heritage at the Sanford Museum and Planetarium, there's no shortage of adventures to be had in Cherokee.

In Conclusion: A Retreat for the Soul

In conclusion, enjoying a relaxing morning at a Cherokee bed and breakfast with a hot breakfast is an experience that nourishes the body, mind, and soul. From the comfort of your accommodations to the warmth of the innkeeper's hospitality, every aspect of your stay is designed to provide a sense of peace and rejuvenation. So why not escape the stresses of everyday life and treat yourself to a getaway at a Cherokee bed and breakfast? Whether you're seeking solitude, romance, or simply a change of scenery, you'll find all that and more in the heart of Cherokee, Iowa.

So, don't know if this has been asked yet but, do we know where the Lackadaisy and Marigold are located?

No particular reason, nope not at all...

I've never put precise street addresses on them, and that's intentional, but the general ambiance around the Little Daisy Cafe is intended to resemble the Laclede's Landing area of St. Louis, near to the Mississippi riverbank and Eads Bridge. The cave system below more resembles what's actually underneath Cherokee Street, a bit further south of there.

The Maribel Hotel (where the Marigold Room is) is sort of vaguely based on the original Chase Hotel (predecessor of the Chase Park Plaza Hotel), and so you might consider it more of an inland feature of the Central West End or thereabouts.

characters from other fandoms

🌺 ABOUT THE MANHWA (read it here)

Bayan is an outcast amongst the Siyo, a people who have healing powers. Considered worthless because she doesn’t have the ability to heal others, Bayan is sent to the court of Dhan, the Great Sun Emperor, who is cursed with unrelenting bloodlust and slaughters his concubines mercilessly. It seems that Bayan’s fate is sealed the moment she reaches the emperor’s palace and Dhan is fated to suffer from madness forever... But together, Bayan and Dhan just might be able to change each other’s destiny.

Elixir Of The Sun is a historical romance about our main characters Dhan and Bayan overcoming fate and finding love in one another through trials and tribulations. The Manwha is adapted from the light novel "Lord Of The Sun" written by Soldam and does contain dark, sensitive and explicitly adult scenes where as the manhwa is careful to tone it down for a mature audience.

🌺 TRIGGER WARNINGS!

Should you choose to read Elixir Of The Sun, please keep in mind that:

- sexual violence is part of its story in terms of information (no scene is ever depicted but there is a close call regarding the main character in chapters 9 & 10)

- depictions of self inflicted injuries (the main character has healing blood and has to stab herself multiple times throughout the story)

- a failed un-aliving attempt in chapters 41 & 42. The main character was sleepwalking.

- In Chapters 110 - 115 there is a extreme depiction of excessive blood and violence but no gore is present.

Thankfully, the story doesn't force its plot to have these things as the main point, it merely uses these plot devices to reinforce and focus on the romance and subtle fantasy plot surrounding the bond of Bayan and Dhan.

[heavyhitterheaux]

Still not over this 😭

My new nickname I've given to myself is barricade baddie lmao

On my actual birthday which was the day after the show, I just spent the day in Louisville.

It was a step out of my comfort zone because I am extremely shy and introverted and a homebody lol

But I was like even if I'm by myself I'm going to make the best of it while @a-moment-captured checked in with me from time to time to make sure I was okay 🥺

So, I went to Churchill Downs

And they also have a museum on site that I went to and they had pics of my faves

Next, I went to Morris Deli!

And obviously got a turkey on ciabatta lol

I also passed by Bardstown, Cherokee Park, River Road, and Eastern Parkway 🥰

I ended the day with me making my own blend of bourbon not too far from the hotel that I was at because that's one of the things Louisville is known for

You can mix it and they can give you an entire bottle which you also get to name!

And it was only right that I did this lol 😆

Saying all that to say, I had an amazing time and hope to do it again next year. I'll do another post about the concert with pics, videos, and my outfit.

Bottom line: I love Jack bad and I'm so thankful for the people that have come into my life because of him

McLaren hotel anon here:

Lance is very nice and thoughtful and that’s the most common thing people say. Both drivers and reporters. He’s one of the biggest donors to the Montreal children’s hospital, and donates off all his old race suits, helmets, etc to charity. From Montreal but most locals didn’t know the family was here or billionaires until F1 bc they kinda flew under the radar as much as possible. Now he kinda hides out in small towns whenever he’s not racing. Spotted driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee on more than one occasion.

He also kept a list (mental or maybe physical idk) of all the reporters who came at him aggressively about being a pay driver when he first started and not refuses to talk to them. Which is the level of petty I support tbh. He does specifically speak with Will Buxton some (and that’s who reported the list thing) because they did Florida Winter Series together (so did Max).

He tried to quit after FP1 at Montreal his rookie season and begged his dad to put the reserve driver in the car bc the pressure and hate got to him so badly. He’s definitely not a fan of the fame aspect of the sport and doesn’t (or at least didn’t used to) handle the criticism well.

I could go into his whole backstory with Prema F3 drama and his dad and Lando/the Norris’ rumors but idk how much people care

I’ve got a list of names and yours is in red underlined - Lance stroll, 2018

Fr though that’s so Stroll I feel like daddy stroll would do the same thing. Lance was raised by a Bond villain he knows the meaning of a grudge and I support that

Omg no he wanted to quit that badly? After one practice? Poor thing. He really came into the sport at the wrong time because I swear back in the day pay drivers were so common. I have always wondered how much of the driving is about Lance and how much of it is about his dad because he really doesn’t seem like he enjoys the environment at all and I wonder if he feels like it’s worth it. He could do anything, drive any car, race any series, race just for fun…is F1 really worth your mental health?

Also is it true that at some point George got dropped from an F2/F3 team because Daddy Stroll bought the spot and that’s why George ended up shopping himself around at one point? Did I make that up?

No spill the tea on the Lando rumours because I KNOW that Lando saying he didn’t want his dad to buy him a seat was a Dig at Lance I just know it

[anexperimentallife]

Strange. Although my grandmother, before she died, hinted that my great-grandfather--who left before she was born--was Lakota, he turns up in an Apache tribal census? Was he Apache? Was he Lakota, but living on an Apache reservation?

For context, my grandmother's mother died in a hotel fire when my grandmother was a baby (although it has often been suggested that she simply ran off, since her body was never recovered), and my grandmother was raised by my Great Aunt Bess, who I knew, and who was... not a nice person, and my Great Uncle Dan, who I never met, but who by all accounts was a saint.

This was the early 1900s, my grandmother was an orphan linked to a scandal, and there would have been Consequences if people had known my grandmother's father was Native American in addition to all that, so I understand why they kept it all under wraps, but I still feel robbed of a significant part of my heritage.

(My grandmother's exact words were: "A lot of what we called French was really Sioux Injun, but we wasn't supposed to tell nobody." Which tracks especially when you know that in the early 1900s, many Native Americans and their offspring with white settlers claimed to be French when questioned.)

So okay, maybe records show that my great-grandfather was Native American, but I can't in good conscience call myself a quarter Native American, because blood quantum is bullshit. I cannot in good conscience ever claim Native heritage, because I wasn't raised in or around any native culture. I am, for all practical intents and purposes, a white man who just happens to have some Native ancestry, but who has not lived that experience because my ancestors decided to go stealth.

I want to point out that this is another example of genocide, though. Me being cut off from the culture of my Native ancestors, whether Lakota, Apache, or (as other family whispers hint at on my father's side) Cherokee, is a direct result of the US effort to stamp out the Native American population, and my ancestors being afraid of the consequences of it being known that we had Natives in our family.

Monsoon Season: mysterymanjoseph and sexyxmilfxhime

The business meetings had been going well the past couple of days, but, there was tension because of severe weather coming in from the sea, and it hit while Joseph was trying to drive back to his hotel to ride it out. While not in his beloved Grand Cherokee, the Land Rover that he had been able to lease is handling the heavy rains and winds like a trooper, still, it is not like it is a tank. As he creeps the vehicle along, wipers going at full speed to keep the windshield as clear as possible, Joseph thinks, "If I had know it would have gotten this bad before I got to my hotel, I might have asked to stay at the office complex, could have slept in this Land Rover in the parking garage easily enough." He sees a shape ahead, just off the side of the road, and slows further, mumbling, "Is that someone actually walking in this mess?"

This is about a death in the family. Just getting thoughts out of my head.

My grandma died this morning. It wasn't a surprise, she was recovering from treatment for esophageal cancer and was old.

My mom was adopted, so my immediate family is 5'7" at the shortest, but my grandmother was about 4' 8".

I might have the number wrong right now because I'm sad and stoned and don't care to fact check, but I believe she was one of 9 siblings. 3/4 Cherokee. Very poor family. We found an article in the paper from the 1940's about her family. There was controversy over her white-passing siblings going to white schools.

She modeled swimwear when she was young, then became a hairdresser. She worked at a hotel in Miami and had done multiple famous people's hair, including Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe. At one point, she lived in Indiana and drove a hearse for a living. She sold Avon and had multiple awards for doing so good at selling them.

She smoked a whole lot of cigarettes. The cancer wasn't a surprise.

She accepted me when I came out to her as transgender. She knew some queer people throughout her life (I mean, a Miami hairdresser is going to be around queer people). She wasn't perfect about it, but I didn't expect it of her and she rarely overstepped boundaries. In her 80's and she still corrected herself when she said my dead name.

This one's for you, Marty.

Thurs 19th Sept

Today we head for Banff. I was up early and caught the bus to the airport at 8am to pick up our car rental. Result - taxi on Monday to our hotel $50, bus fare to airport $3.75 and I got to look at the view.

Car collected, a Jeep Grand Cherokee no less, back to the hotel collect Bern and on our way.

Heading g west out of Calgary the land started flat but very soon we started to hit the foothills of the Rockies with jagged peaks in the distance. It's only about 35 miles and soon we were entering the Rockies.

Alto saxophonist Earl Bostic was a technical master of his instrument, yet remained somewhat underappreciated by jazz fans due to the string of simple, popular R&B/jump blues hits he recorded during his heyday in the '50s.

Born Eugene Earl Bostic in Tulsa, OK, on April 25, 1913, Bostic played around the Midwest during the early '30s, studied at Xavier University, and toured with several bands before moving to New York in 1938. There he played for Don Redman, Edgar Hayes, and Lionel Hampton, making his record debut with the latter in 1939. In the early '40s, he worked as an arranger and session musician, and began leading his own regular large group in 1945. Cutting back to a septet the next year, Bostic began recording regularly, scoring his first big hit with 1948's "Temptation." He soon signed with the King label, the home of most of his biggest jukebox hits, which usually featured a driving, heavy, R&B-ish beat and an alto sound that could be smooth and romantic or aggressive and bluesy.

In 1951, Bostic landed a number one R&B hit with "Flamingo," plus another Top Ten in "Sleep." Subsequent hits included "You Go to My Head" and "Cherokee." Bostic's bands became important training grounds for up-and-coming jazzmen like John Coltrane, Blue Mitchell, Stanley Turrentine, Benny Golson, Jaki Byard, and others. Unfortunately, Bostic suffered a heart attack in the late '50s, which kept him away from music for two years. He returned to performing in 1959, but didn't record quite as extensively; when he did record in the '60s, his sessions were more soul-jazz than the proto-R&B of old. On October 28, 1965, Bostic suffered a fatal heart attack while playing a hotel in Rochester, NY.

1969....Rita Coolidge and Stephen Stills.

Whether you know her as the singer of “All Time High” from Octopussy or the woman at the heart of songs like “Delta Lady” by Leon Russell and “Cherokee” by Stephen Stills, you’ve heard of Rita Coolidge. She may not be as famous as the men who were obsessed with her throughout the 1960s and ‘70s, but she’s had a fascinating life filled with good tunes and good friends. Coolidge was a musical muse for artists like Kris Kristofferson, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and a slew of singer-songwriters, but she was a talent all on her own. With two Grammy Awards and a memoir under her belt, she’s just as accomplished as famous artists she came up with.

Born on May 1, 1945 in Lafayette, Tennessee, Coolidge bounced around Kentucky and Tennessee as the daughter of a Cherokee Baptist minister. She says that she was singing before she could talk and knew that she would be doing it for the rest of her life. After moving to Memphis in 1967 she found herself in the city’s music scene rubbing elbows with Booker T. & the M.G.’s as well as singers Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett. Along the way she met singer-songwriter Leon Russell who convinced her to move to Los Angeles with him and further her career. It wasn’t hard to persuade her and soon enough they hit the road.

In 1969 Rita Coolidge was one of the most in demand women in the industry. Seemingly at the center of multiple song writing sessions, both “Delta Lady” and “A Song For You” by Leon Russell and Joe Cocker are written about her, but the her relationship with the two singer-songwriters soured when she decided to get out of Russell and Cocker’s party heavy scene. In 2019 she said that she’s not entirely sure if “Delta Lady” is about her in spite of rumors to the contrary.

When Rita Coolidge met the members of Crosby, Stills, and Nash she had such an effect on Stephen Stills and Graham Nash that she’s still blamed by some as one of the major reasons behind the group’s break up. She met the group at a recording session and despite hitting it off with Graham Nash, Stills finagled his way into a date with her. His obsession with Coolidge built even after she ditched him to rekindle things with Nash.

Coolidge and Nash dated for more than a year, and in that time Stephen Stills tried to commit suicide after writing the name “Rita” on a hotel mirror in lipstick and he fought Nash over her in a drive way. She never had a romantic link with David Crosby, but he had his own obsession with her.

hola! acabo de enterarme de la existencia de indígenas canarios, puedo preguntar un par de cosas? ru blog es interesante

para empezar, has visto alguna similitud con lo que pasó y pasa con los canarios amazigh con lo que pasa con otras comunidades nativas? por ejemplo los nativos mohawks o cherokee

segundo, he visto a algunas personas hablar de canariofobia, existe? puedes darme algunos ejemplos? gracias de antemano

Hacer una comparación de los dos hechos sería algo odiosa, aún así hay una clara similitud, el desplazamiento de los oriundos a otras tierras, los Charokee fueron claramente forzados a una emigración muy lejanas mientras aquí fueron esclavizados o desplazados a otras islas para ocupar tierras de repartición siempre y cuando fueran en otras islas, previamente fueron bautizados y castellanizados les adjudicaron algunas tierras donde ya se sabía que los colonizadores no las iban a ocupar ya que aquí no hay metales ni piedras preciosas y al estar en África y muy cerca del desierto del Sáhara no les atraía ocupar islas, el nuevo mundo y sus riquezas está en mente de ellos.

Con relación a la Canariofobia, te comenté que desde los inicios de la ocupación hace más de 500 años concretamente con el fin del genocidio en 1496 lo estamos padeciendo por parte de la metrópolis colonial, de sus tropas de ocupación o de su rama politica y de los descendientes de los colonizadores españoles que aquí se les llaman Canarigodos, el gobierno colonial canario con su presidente a la cabeza ha dicho recientemente que la culpa de que Canarias no este a la cabeza en la creacion de empleo es porque los canarios exige salarios dignos en igualdad con el resto de los trabajadores de la metrópolis española, en estos últimos meses este mismo gobierno no hace frente a la independencia alimentaria de las islas y los precios sean triplicados o incluso más, alimentos básicos como las papas han estado o alcanzados los 5€ el kilo algo exagerado, otras situaciones son la creación de más hoteles en terrenos arqueológico o de riesgo biológicos por estar ocupados por especies únicas, estás promociones son echas por empresas coloniales de dudosa identidad.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Atteneri Rivero Quintero (@atteneri_ocotea)

Todas éstas empresas vienen de fuera a demoler lo poco que nos queda con el consentimiento de la metrópolis colonial, la Canariofobia a existido desde los primeros tiempos colonias y de su religión Abraanica, no voy a entrar en si los españoles de a pie nos aceptan o no, principalmente nuestro acento es único y forma una clara variante linguistica bién diferenciada al resto de la metrópolis, curiosamente la Real Academia Española RAE reconoce nuestra variante linguistica pero los gobiernos de la metrópolis colonial españolas y principalmente de sus vasallos coloniales en las islas no hacen absolutamente nada, solo han creado la Academia Canaria de la lengua, pero estos miembros han traicionado su principal objetivo cuidar nuestros, léxico, semántica y de nuestro acento con la introducción de palabras como Vosotros, Sois, Estáis, Vayáis, Autobús, etc,

Se está haciendo eternamente difícil seguir hablando de esto, espero haberte servido, si quieres algo más me lo puedes pedir, ahul.

Play It Cool - Tyson Jost (39/n)

Pairing: Tyson Jost x OFC (AJ)

Word Count 4272

Need to start from the beginning? Here's where it all began! https://at.tumblr.com/brainrattlers/play-it-cool-tyson-jost-1n/p7no8u1hzuza

Want to catch up on last chapter? Check it out here https://at.tumblr.com/brainrattlers/play-it-cool-tyson-jost-38n/0i8kcvjvk4vq

Warnings: Language, Tyson being cute (you know, same ol' same ol'.) Author's notes: Hey all, sorry about the lack of update last week. Apparently when the Sabres have a bye week, I took it off too. (Real talk, stupid stuff like work and some personal crap came up and I'm still dealing with that. I had half the chapter written for last week and then battled some burnout for a bit. Took a breather to find some motivation.) Tyson's still on the road after AJ's roadie, but she's back in Buffalo, getting the apartment unpacked.

Waking up in Winnipeg, Tyson was conflicted. He had a little extra pep in his step at practice (or strides, as the case may be on the ice) as AJ was his last two games, but he couldn’t help but still wish she was going to be at the game the next night. He was glad she was safe on the ground in Buffalo though, probably up to some sort of shenanigans. It was one of the things he loved most about her.

AJ was dragging. She made it back to Buffalo in one piece after leaving a blizzard in St. Louis, and making her connecting flight just in time to head back. Her ride from the airport actually dropped her off at the hotel one last time, where she piled the few remaining items in their tiny space into Tyson’s Grand Cherokee, did one last sweep of the room, and checked out at the front desk.

The hotel was officially no longer home.

Parking the Jeep next to her own car in the building’s garage in their parking spots, AJ inhaled deeply. Contemplating a nap in Tyson’s vehicle crossed her mind, as her body was exhausted from the stress of the flights earlier. Finally though, AJ got the motivation to get out and start unloading the vehicle, and getting it all upstairs. After four trips up and down and up again, the vehicle was empty, and everything Tyson and AJ had was in the apartment. In boxes strewn everywhere, but in the apartment.

Grabbing her suitcase, she headed for the bedroom pulling out her ziploc bag of toiletries from the flights, and found the box that had the towels in it. Peeling out of her clothes, the hot water of the shower melted away the grime she always felt after a travel day, leaving her feeling loose and, well, still exhausted. Throwing on a pair of joggers and a hoodie, current time AJ was so happy that past AJ put sheets on the bed before she left for the roadie. Pulling back the sheets, she climbed into bed, melting into the feeling that was Tyson’s bed from Minneapolis, from Denver. It felt familiar, it felt right, other than it was missing Tyson.

With a quick snap of a selfie snuggled into the pillows and blankets, AJ sent it to Tyson.

AJ: Home, can’t wait for you to get here. <1 attachment>

Tyson: I will be dreaming of that tonight, and every night until I’m back.

The smile didn’t fade from AJ’s face as she fell asleep, hugging Tyson’s pillow close to her.

After snagging dinner with a few of the guys, Tyson headed back to his own hotel room, coming up with a few ideas of his own in regards to the new place. Just like the last place in Minneapolis, Tyson was letting AJ come up with how to arrange things - she had more of an eye for it than he did. But there were a few things that he wanted to make happen if he could. Trying to recall how AJ had her space set up as far as her computer gear goes previously, the gears started turning in his head as he pulled up the floorplan AJ had originally sent him when she first toured the building. Eyelids getting heavy, he opened a new note on his phone, jotting a few ideas down before giving up for the night.

Fluffing up the extra pillows on the bed next to him, Tyson curled up with them in the hopes it would feel like AJ back home.

“Just a few more nights…” Tyson whispered to himself as he drifted off, dreaming of coming home to AJ after this roadie.

Sunlight streamed in the windows on the east side of the apartment as AJ hadn’t yet hung curtains yet, and it woke her up. Looking at the clock on her phone that was sitting on a box next to the bed, she figured out she literally just slept thirteen hours. Considering her day previously started with an hour and a half of sleep and a ride to the airport at 3:15AM, she didn’t feel bad about it. Rubbing her eyes, there were a lot of boxes to go through in front of her. AJ detoured to get a quick breakfast at the E Cafe around the corner, and was now fueled to take on the morning.

First on the docket was setting up some tech so that the internet worked throughout the rooms. Plus, AJ was tired of listening to music on the tiny speaker of her phone. Within a few minutes, she had set up the modem and router, plugging everything in with a chuckle.

“LET THERE BE WIFI!” AJ boomed, seeing her phone pick up the signal.

Next up was getting a few speakers throughout so music could be heard in all rooms as she traveled around unpacking. With tunes playing, AJ stared at the living room trying to decide which wall the television should be. As she moved the TV stand, the bookcases followed to flank it. Struggling slightly getting the television onto the stand, the cables were hidden, and she turned it on to make sure everything was still working.

In doing so, a lightbulb clicked on in AJ’s head.

Heading to the guest room, AJ pulled a large object from the bed, and placed it on the papasan chair. From behind it in the kitchen, a photo was snapped. Looking at her watch, Tyson should have been awake and probably heading to the arena.

AJ: Well SOMEONE made himself at home. <1 attachment>

Tyson was grabbing a coffee at the hotel before hopping on the bus when his phone buzzed in his suit pocket. Opening up the message, he found Maple the Bear sitting in the chair, clearly not helping unpack boxes.

Removing Maple from the chair, AJ brought him back to the guest room, setting him down next to the giant panda bear that AJ had won for Tyson at the Minnesota State Fair. This gave her an idea for later, but for now, she had to unpack more.

Tackling closets and bathrooms, and finding homes for all of the kitchen gadgets the two amassed took up most of the day. A few texts were shared back and forth, giving Tyson updates on what all AJ was accomplishing, and asking for input. More ideas were coming into his mind, but again, would have to wait until he was back in town. One thing though, he could pull off that night.

AJ’s phone buzzed with a message that wasn’t from Tyson, and it wasn’t from Jess or Nate.

Hi, this is Kevin with Instacart, I have a delivery downstairs for you from Tyson.

Shaking her head, AJ threw her hair back in a messy ponytail and put on some shoes to get downstairs. Kevin was in the lobby, holding a couple bags awkwardly. She dug her wallet out to give the poor soul a tip for having to carry it all inside. Balancing all the bags in her hands, AJ took the elevator back upstairs and down the hall. Once inside, the bags were set on the counter.

Produce, vegetables, meats, boxes of pasta, milk, frozen meals, eggs, cheese… and beer. A six-pack of Blue Moon, to be exact. That made AJ smile, because she could definitely use one this evening with all the unpacking she’d been working on. As food made its way into their new homes on shelves in the pantry, or in the fridge and freezer, she contemplated what she was going to make for dinner, but honestly, really didn’t want to despite the sweet gesture of Tyson sending groceries to her. In fact, she hadn’t quite unpacked all the pots and pans yet, but was getting ready to as it was going to be nice not having to use the same kettle and pan over and over again like they did for months at the hotel.

Just as she was finally coming to terms with it needing to be done, the sound of AJ’s phone vibrating against the kitchen counter snapped her back into reality.

This is Tina with DoorDash, I’m in the lobby with something from Tyson for you.

“What did he do this time?” AJ stared at her phone, smirking as she headed for the door again.

The elevator whooshed down to the main floor, doors opening to let AJ see Tina standing near the desk with a large pizza box. Trading the box for a couple dollar tip, she saw that Tyson had Gino & Joe’s delivered. It smelled delicious as she made her way back up to the twelfth floor again. Opening the box lid, she gasped and giggled.

The pepperoni were in the shape of a heart, filled in with mushrooms. Upon further inspection, a note was scribbled inside the lid.

Hi Eggo, no need to cook tonight, you’ve been working hard. Love you, see you soon. <;3, Tyson

It was nearly 7:00PM, the day went by so fast. Tyson would be getting ready for the game against Winnipeg.

AJ: Tyson Jost, what am I going to do with you? I mean other than love you forever. Thanks for sending everything, especially dinner.

Tyson: I can think of a few things you can do when I get home (winking emoji) Love you

AJ: Kick some ass tonight, I’ll be cheering you on from the sofa with Maple!

Tyson was envisioning AJ sprawled out on the overstuffed gray sofa, box of pizza and a Blue Moon on the coffee table. All the snapshots she’d sent through the day put together a pretty good idea of how things were situated. During his warmup doing a little jogging before getting his gear on, he daydreamed of the next steps in his plan.

Back in Buffalo, AJ settled in with the pizza that she put in the oven to keep warm. Pre-game coverage played on the television. She’d forgotten how comfortable it was to have space, to sprawl out, and to have the big screen TV again - they’d become accustomed to the significantly smaller TV and sofa. Remembering the lamps were set up with wifi plugs, she asked Alexa to turn them off. The glow of the screen illuminated the pretty much set up living room, leaving her to enjoy the pizza and game.

In Winnipeg, Tyson was trying to find the back of the net with six shots on the night, but nothing made it in. Was a solid game for him though, and another W for the team as the points are starting to get important, being on the edge of a wildcard spot for the playoffs.

Between the physical exhaustion from unpacking all day, as well as having a couple beers, AJ’s eyes weren’t staying open. Putting the remaining pizza in the fridge, AJ found her way to her sink in the bathroom (she claimed it anyway, Tyson would just have to deal with using the other one.). After washing her face and taking out her contacts, she grimaced as her stomach wasn’t feeling quite right, although it was a similar feeling that she’d been having the last few weeks, chalking it up to stress and all the crud going around. Popping a few antacids in her mouth, she curled up in bed trying to get comfortable.

A game of Sudoku was interrupted with a notification on her phone from Tyson.

Tyson: One more stop, and I’ll be home. Miss you so much, can’t wait to see what the apartment looks like!

Seeing the words made AJ relax a little bit, her stomach unknotting some.

AJ: Can’t wait to have you back here, it’s lonely in this big space all by myself. Thank you again for dinner, and all the groceries. You’re way too good to me. (heart emoji) Sweet dreams babe, and safe travels in the morning in case I’m not awake yet (sleeping emoji)

Finishing up her game of Sudoku, AJ put her phone down on the box next to the bed, and slept off and on all night, eventually getting up around 6am. Digging her headphones out of her backpack still packed from her flight, AJ headed to the gym downstairs. Her stomach still didn’t feel right, but she powered through a few miles on the elliptical.

Water and crackers seemed to be what was on the menu for breakfast after she got back upstairs and took a shower. Food just didn’t sound good. Sitting at the breakfast bar, AJ scrolled through a few things on her phone - Twitter, Instagram, Reddit. It was too early to text Jess to ask about her thoughts with her stomach, so instead she looked up a few doctor offices in the area. It was time to be an adult and get whatever this is checked out. Once 8AM hit, she started calling a few offices to see if she could find a doc accepting new patients. Somehow she lucked into getting an appointment later that morning as someone canceled at a decently rated doctor in the neighborhood.

In the meantime, AJ looked around at the boxes in the kitchen still, so she started putting in new shelf paper in the cabinets and putting dishes and cooking utensils away. The empty bins started stacking up in the corner, and more floor space was found. And the alarm on her phone let her know when she needed to head off to the doctor’s office.

Halfway across the country, Tyson was landing in Minnesota, and the team made its way to the Xcel Energy Center to have a practice. It was a weird feeling for him being back after the way things ended. No awkward interactions happened though as the Wild were practicing at TRIA Rink that day. A few players asked Tyson for recommendations on places to eat, which he provided, but he wasn’t joining for the night. He had plans with a couple of his former teammates before things would get heated the next day.

It was nice to get caught up on what all had happened in the last couple months, swapping stories. Some of them may not have been Tyson’s teammates very long, but they were still friends all the same. Before he knew it, it was already 9PM, and he had wanted to check in with AJ before she went to bed. He had checked his phone, already seeing a note from her.

AJ: Hey babe, I’m exhausted and going to bed. Hope you’re having a good night, say hey to the guys for me!

Doing the math, she had gone to bed way earlier than the normal late hours he was accustomed to her keeping. Not wanting to wake her up though, he just let it go even though he really had wanted to talk before bed. But figuring unpacking was taking its toll, he pushed down any concern that may have been growing. He sulked a little bit still as he fell asleep in the hotel room bed in a city they used to live in months before.

AJ grumbled at the light shining in the bedroom as the sun crept up in the sky. Still laying in bed, she grabbed her phone, pulling up Target’s website looking at the selection of curtains. Her few plants would love the light from the east side windows, but she needed to be able to sleep a little later in the mornings than the sun was allowing her. As she scrolled through room-darkening curtains, she was interrupted by Tyson wanting to facetime. Before she answered, she scrambled to get her hair down and in relative place and a lopsided smile graced her face.

“Hey babe, how's St. Paul?” AJ was trying to sound chipper despite feeling off still.

Tyson squinted before smiling again, taking in a very tired looking face, “It’s good, hoping to have some good luck tonight. Are you okay? You went to bed early for you last night. I wanted to tell you to have good dreams of me.” He pouted, then smiled trying to keep the feeling light.

“Yeah, I think the last week and change is just catching up with me, I…” AJ didn’t want to worry Tyson, and decided to keep her doctor’s appointment to herself, “I think I just need to get caught up on sleep. But to do that I think I’m going to have to venture out to Target soon and get some curtains. This place has so many windows! So bright in the bedroom…”

An idea hit Tyson’s mind, but he kept up with the conversation. AJ got out of bed and showed some of the spaces she’d unpacked items in, giving an idea of how things were going. He was looking more and more forward to getting home, the place that she was working so hard to create for them to feel comfortable in.

“You know I’ll help when we get back tomorrow, leave some work for me!” Tyson was trying to delegate some of the unpacking duties to himself to allow AJ some rest.

While she tried to hide her bedhead, AJ forgot that the dark circles were still under her eyes. They were a little worrisome to Tyson. But knowing he was going to have to leave soon for a short practice, he encouraged AJ to go back to bed and hide under the covers. He was more than happy to come home and take care of whatever boxes were left in the next few days. Tyson had to make a compromise that he’d allow her to supervise at least.

With a sleepy smile and a kiss blown at the screen, AJ agreed, and closed out the call, finding her way to the kitchen to take some meds and then found solace in the sheets and blankets of their bed. Within minutes, she was sound asleep - it was the best sleep she’d had in days.

The bright light of day was definitely dimmed by the time AJ woke up, unsure of what time it actually was. Frantically searching for her phone that got buried under the blankets that cocooned her, she found it was late afternoon. Her nap lasted almost a full night’s worth of sleep. The bedroom was still out of sorts, so her task for the remainder of the afternoon was at least to get nightstands set up and unpack some clothes into their closet and her dresser. The thought of putting Tyson’s clothes away crossed her mind, but she figured she’d let him put things where he wanted. With most of the bedroom under control, it occurred to her that she had yet to set up her computer rig, which bothered her a bit. Normally this would have been one of the first things she’d set up, but she just wasn’t feeling it. She wasn’t feeling a lot of the things she was normally interested in lately.

Instead of ignoring it longer though, AJ pulled her desk around in the office, and started setting up monitor arms to mount the multiple displays for her computer. Her cameras and mic were set up. Finally, all of the cables were in place, and her computer was plugged in. Sitting down in her chair, something clicked and things felt right in those moments. Firing up some Fortnite, she lost a few hours, and didn’t realize it until Tyson was texting after the game.

Thankfully, she didn’t miss much. And honestly, not watching the game may have done more good for her mentally than she realized. Had she watched the game, she probably would have just gotten angry at the coaching staff again - the whole idea of “getting better, not bitter” was something she was still working on. Tyson wasn’t even upset at her lack of watching, it was a quiet night, and a loss in a shutout. No one was particularly thrilled with how the game played out. The only thing on Tyson’s mind though was getting home the next morning. A fresh start was something he was craving, and those grand ideas he had for the apartment and AJ just kept getting bigger.

It had been a long, emotional day for Tyson, playing back in St. Paul and all, and honestly he was ready for bed. And despite sleeping most of the day, AJ was yawning as well. Both called it a night, excited that with just one more sleep, Tyson would be on his way back to Buffalo.

While he was up early, AJ slept in again, as it was a bit of a dreary day along Lake Erie. Pulling herself out of bed, she made her way to the kitchen to take her meds again, and started picking up a few things around the place. Boxes were shifted around so that there was more of a walkway between rooms. Her Snow Queen pothos was a little dry, so she watered it a bit. Fidgeting, AJ took a shower and put on some clothes, realizing she’d been in pajamas for almost two days. The text she’d been waiting for finally came in.

Tyson: I’m at the airport, come pick me up?

Hopping in her black Soul, AJ floored it heading to the airport. It’d only been a couple days since she saw Tyson in St. Louis, but it’d been a week since they literally were sharing the same space. Navigating the maze of the airport pickup area, Tyson stood with a tired smile, backpack and Normtec bag in hand. Popping the trunk, he tossed his things in before climbing into the front passenger seat.

With a quick kiss, the two were off, heading back downtown. Making up for all the longing and lack of touch, Tyson’s hand never left the top of AJ’s as she held onto the gearshift. He noticed she didn’t look as tired as she had, a good sign. Pulling back into her spot in the garage of their building, AJ carried Tyson’s backpack, while he carried the few remaining items he had with him as they headed back up to the twelfth floor. Key in the slot, the door unlocked.

“Welcome home, Tyson.”

That glint of mischief in Tyson’s eyes was bright as can be as he set his bag down in the hall and picked AJ up, carrying her into their new space. She squealed, pleading with him to put her down. After finally doing so, he grabbed his bags and put them near the door, taking in everything that AJ had set up. Sort of keeping her promise, there were still a few boxes in the living room as well as the bedroom that needed to be put away.

After giving a mini tour, AJ flopped onto the sofa, watching Tyson still exploring the rooms. Her eyes closed briefly, until the sound of Tyson’s voice, laced with concern, brought her back.

“Hey Eggo? What is this?”

Taking a look at what Tyson was talking about, AJ saw him standing next to the breakfast bar in the kitchen, holding a bottle of prescription pills. The look on his face was definitely one of concern.

So much for trying to keep a secret.

Instead of covering it up further, AJ decided to just put it all out on the table.

“First, this isn’t your doing, this is me. Do not blame yourself when I tell you this,” AJ was worried about what Tyson was going to say, so she was stalling as much as she could. “But a few years back, I had some issues. Nothing BAD, but… you know how this past summer was hard on you? I had a period like that too in college. But where you handled it healthily, I… did not. My roommate found me on the floor of our dorm room crying, room completely flipped upside down. I couldn’t find stamps to mail something, and… yeah. I’m not proud of it. But my roommate and some friends convinced me to see a doc, and I got on anti-depressants. I was on them for a while and was doing pretty well, so I was able to get off of them. But the past few weeks, and again, this isn’t anything you did, but some similar feelings were creeping in, so I decided to go to the doctor about it, before it got to that point again.”

Unsure of what to say, Tyson just listened to AJ talk. When she was finished, he thought for a moment before opening his mouth.

“I didn’t even know you were depressed,” Tyson felt crappy. He couldn't even tell his fiancee was not feeling right. “Is there anything I can do? Or anything I should know?”

As she was owning up to things, AJ continued.

“As far as the depression goes, not too much. The meds will hopefully help get me out of this funk I’ve been in. It takes a couple weeks for them to kick in though. Mainly, just sometimes I want a hug, or maybe need to vent and someone to listen. Pretty much the same ol’ things I normally ask for. But I do have to tell you that there are a few other things going on too. Since I’ve been so tired, and not just from this ridiculous roadie I went on with y’all, but like exhausted tired - I’m having some labwork done to see if anything else is going on that needs to be checked into.”

Tyson nodded, realizing that he wasn’t imagining that AJ had seemed to be more tired lately. And to be honest, he was relieved she was being an adult and getting it checked out. The two talked some more about what she’d been feeling, and what the doctor said in advance of the blood work she had done. It was just going to be a waiting game until Monday when her labs would be completed and maybe would have some answers.

Apologizing for darkening the mood with all the mental and physical health talk, AJ tried to change the subject a little with some talk about some things she wanted to do eventually for the apartment. The smirk came across Tyson’s face as she showed him some ideas she’d found online. He made mental notes of what he was being shown. Those gears in his head kept turning.

Interrupting everyone's thoughts though was the sound of AJ’s stomach growling. She hadn’t eaten much and clearly it was trying to make that fact well known. Excited to do so, the couple finished putting away Tyson’s travel items, and headed to the kitchen to whip up a late lunch together. AJ had to show him where some of the pots and pans were, but he was picking up fast. Tyson made some chicken and vegetables as AJ made a simple sauce to go with it all poured over some brown rice. The two had ample space to move about the kitchen. AJ even had Alexa turn on some music so the two could have their first dance in their new home while the food heated up.

With Tyson holding onto AJ’s hips, and her hands resting behind his neck, the two just swayed and smiled, locking eyes until AJ rested her head into the crook of Tyson’s neck and shoulder. The feeling of his fuzzy cheek against her forehead made everything negative on her mind disappear as they lost themselves for a few minutes and a couple of songs. The sound of Alexa’s timer burst the bubble, but AJ was okay with it as the food smelled amazing as she grabbed the plates from a cabinet, and dished up some for both of them.

Lunch wasn’t eaten in silence, as the conversation led to them talking about the next few weeks. One more game at home, and then it would be the All-Star Game break. A lot of teams had their bye week before the weekend of the game. Instead, the Sabres’ bye week was after. A few of Tyson’s teammates were heading to the Bahamas. He’d been invited, but with all the commotion of moving, he decided against it. AJ thought he’d probably head back to Edmonton to see the family. Instead, he surprised even AJ.

“I was thinking, what about a staycation?”

Looking for Chapter 40? LET'S GOOOOO https://at.tumblr.com/brainrattlers/play-it-cool-tyson-jost-40n/rn7wesgrzqa7

[houseofzoey]

Neferet hunts down the Cherokee woman's husband, who let's her into his mind, thinking she will spare him.

(Please note that this means both Kalona and Neferet have a history of murdering Cherokee people for personal gain. Like, it's a pattern for both of them.)

Okay, so if Neferet ever successfully enters someone's mind, she can stop their heart and feed on their energy as they die.

Hey, remember at the end of Betrayed when Neferet used her intuitive affinity to block Zoey's memory? Which involved entering Zoey's mind? Why didn't she just make Zoey have a heart attack and be done with her?

Why didn't she do that to Grandma? Or literally any of Zoey's non-elemental friends when they entered her hotel suite. Stark, Aurox, and Rephaim don't have mind shielding powers. Nor does Thanatos.

Why hasn't Neferet been doing this with anyone who causes a major obstacle to her, since there is literally no way to trace it back to her - there's absolutely no observable evidence that she caused someone you have a heart attack with her mind powers.

We've seen her use this ability exactly once against Shekinah. Wouldn't it be kinda useful to strategically employ this power far more regularly?

Remembering Tina Turner (1939-2023)

Tina Turner (short bio)

Tina Turner (November 26, 1939, Brownsville, Tennessee - May 24, 2023, Küsnacht, Zurich) was one of the most legendary figures in 20th century music. Dancer, singer and songwriter, she was nicknamed The Acid Queen and The Queen of Rock & Roll. With a brilliant career of success that spanned four decades, from the sixties to the two thousand, he always stood out for his magnetic presence on stage, his very powerful voice and his tremendous energy.

She was born Anna Mae Bullock in a small Tennessee town, Nutbush (to which she would dedicate the song Nutbush City Limit ). His parents were African-American and, on his mother's side, he had ancestry from the indigenous peoples of North America, Cherokee and Navajo. As he recounted in his autobiography, his father was a violent man and given to drink. His mother separated from him when he was eleven years old, and together with his older sister, Ruby, they went to live with her in the city of St. Louis, in Missouri. He soon showed his aptitude for music in the choir of the local Baptist church. After graduating from high school, she began working as a nursing assistant, while also beginning to sing in St. Louis' African-American nightclubs. In 1958, she was discovered at the Manhattan Club by Ike Turner , who signed her to his group Kings of Rhythm . Ike was already a well-known Soul composer and performer by then. At that time, she had her first child with the saxophonist Raymond Hill, at the age of nineteen, although their relationship did not bear fruit.

She would be attached to Ike , who would become her husband in 1962, vitally and professionally, for fifteen years, which saw her rise to stardom, but also constant physical abuse. At the suggestion of Juggy Murray , president of the independent R&B label Sue Records, she artistically renamed herself Tina Turner . Like Ike & Tina Turner , they had several hits in the 60s such as A fool in love , I idolize you or Tra La La La La . In 1965, iconic producer Phil Spector saw them perform, and was fascinated by Tina's voice. He insisted on recording a song with her. Ike , who insisted on controlling every aspect of his career, refused at first, and only accepted when Spector paid him $20,000. The result of that session was the song River Deep, Mountain High , which, although it did not obtain much commercial success at the time, would end up becoming a classic in Tina 's repertoire and, according to Spector , her greatest achievement. In 1969, Ike & Tina shared a US tour with The Rolling Stones , and appeared with them in the famous documentary Gimme Shelter . Mick Jagger , Keith Richards and Tina became very good friends. In the early '70s, the Turner duo had their biggest commercial success with their cover of Proud Mary single , a Creedence Clearwater Revival . Likewise, Tina had a memorable appearance in the musical Tommy as “The Acid Queen.” That moment of professional splendor was accompanied by the collapse of his marriage. Ike Turner had increasingly aggressive and erratic behavior due to his cocaine addiction. Tina attempted suicide on more than one occasion. Finally, after a brutal beating in a Dallas hotel in July 1976, she left him and filed for divorce. Ike initially refused to grant it, and the legal battle lasted for two years, until 1978. Tina agreed, to settle the dispute, to pay the debts that Ike had accumulated , she kept custody of the son he had had with her ex-husband, Ronald and, in addition, she adopted the two children that he had fathered with other women, Ike Jr. and Michael.

During the early 1980s, he seemed a forgotten figure, until the musical renaissance that came with the album Private Dancer 1984 , which was produced, among others, by David Bowie and Mark Knopfler , and which represented his greatest success. his career. Thanks to singles such as the title track, What's Love Got to Do With It or Better Be Good to Me , it sold five million units. The following year, she appeared as the villain in the film Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome and sang the theme song for its soundtrack, We Don't Need Another Hero , which also topped the charts. from all over the world. His success continued throughout the eighties, with albums such as Break Every Rule (1986) and Foreign Affair (1988), while he went on several world concert tours. was released In 1993, the biopic Tina , where she was played by Angela Bassett, while Ike had the face of Laurence Fishburne . Both were nominated for Oscars for their roles. Among his latest hits, the main theme of the James Bond 1995 film, GoldenEye , stands out . In 1999, he released his last album, Twenty Four Seven , to say goodbye to music with a final world tour in 2000, which is remembered as one of the most massive in history. In 2008 she came out of retirement to collaborate on the Joni Mitchell tribute album , River: The Joni Letters , performing the song Edith and the Kingpin . The album won a Grammy. Since 1986, she was romantically linked to the German music producer, Erwin Bach . Together they lived in Los Angeles, Paris and, finally, in Switzerland, the country whose nationality they adopted after marrying in 2013. Religiously, she was raised in the faith of the Southern Baptist Church in the United States. In the mid-70s, through a friend, she discovered Buddhism. As she recounted in her autobiography, Buddhism had a crucial importance in her professional and personal rebirth, after the traumatic end of her relationship with Ike Turner. about her life was released In 2018, the musical Tina , which has been performed in various countries. In her final years, she began to suffer a series of health problems, and in 2017 she underwent surgery to receive a kidney transplant (donated by her husband). In 2023, his death was announced, after suffering from cancer for several years and suffering a stroke. “With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model,” indicated the statement from her representative who broke the news.

Tina Turner's 10 best songs and the stories behind them

1. River Deep, Mountain High (1966) In 1960, Tina found success with Ike and created one of pop music's masterpieces six years later, when producer Phil Spector approached her about working with her. Although the song was credited to the duo, Spector did not want Ike to control the work in the recording studio, so he paid him not to go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9Lehkou2Do Tina was happy to work with someone else. He was surprised to discover that the producer had assembled an orchestra and a choir to create his famous "wall of sound." "She was just a girl from Tennessee who caught up with Ike and became a singer," Tina Turner wrote in her autobiography. "I've never, ever seen anything like it, except in a movie." The song peaked at number three on the UK charts, but flopped in the US. Radio DJs said the song "wasn't 'black' enough to be rhythm and blues nor white enough to be 'pop.'" 2. Proud Mary (1971) After this country-rock song was a hit for Credence Clearwater Revival in 1969, Ike and Tina transformed it into an explosive, epic funk ode to freedom. Tina began her presentation with sensual messages and then exploded with her exuberant voice, in a show that impressed music fans in the United States. It reached number four on the Billboard chart and won a Grammy Award. Beyoncé chose to perform this song when she paid tribute to Tina at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2005. Three years later, they sang it as a duet at the Grammy Awards. https://youtu.be/hzQnPz6TpGc?feature=shared 3. Nutbush City Limits (1973) Tina immortalized her hometown with the lyrics of this song. The cheerful melody was a nostalgic memory of his disturbing childhood, during which he spent some time picking cotton. "You go to the country on weekdays/and have a picnic on Labor Day." Three years later, Tina left Ike after suffering abuse for years, risking her entire career. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I07249JX8w4 4. Let's Stay Together (1983) Tina had to start over and rebuild herself as a solo artist. The crucial moment in that comeback, which would lead to even greater success, came when she met two members of the English electro-pop group Heaven 17. Martyn Ware and Glenn Gregory were looking for a singer for a covers album for their British Electric Foundation project and Tina did not have a record contract. When he entered the Abbey Road studios, there were no other musicians. "Where's the band?" she asked, expecting a Phil Spector-style orchestra. But this time the music would be made with synthesizers. First, they recorded Ball of Confusion The Temptations' , then Al Green's Let's Stay Together , which became their first UK Top 10 hit in a decade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rFB4nj_GRc 5. What's Love Got to Do With It (1984) Turner established himself as a solo artist with this song written by Terry Britten and Graham Lyle, which had previously been offered to Cliff Richard, Donna Summer and Bucks Fizz. Tina didn't initially like it either, as it seemed too light. However, he agreed to record it if he could do it his way, "with strength, with gravity and pure emotion." Her sexy and defiant performance worked, accompanied by a music video that showed her walking the streets of New York. This song gave Turner his only number one in the United States and won a Grammy. At 44 years old, she became the oldest woman at that time to have a single reach first place on the charts in the United States. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGpFcHTxjZs 6. Private Dancer (1984) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4QnalIHlVc This song was first recorded by Dire Straits and was written by Mark Knopfler, the band's leader, who considered that the song could not be performed by a male voice. Tina later said in an interview that she hadn't realized the song was about a sex worker. "I never had to stoop to that in my life," he wrote in his autobiography. "But I think most of us have been in situations where we've had to sell ourselves, in one way or another." "When I gave myself to Ike, when I kept quiet to avoid an argument, when I stayed with him despite the desire to leave. That's what I was thinking when I sang the song, the sadness of doing something you don't want, day after day. "It's very emotional." 7. We Don't Need Another Hero (1985) It is another song written by Britten and Lyle. The theme and Tina herself appeared in the Mel Gibson film Mad Max : Beyond Thunderdome. As a classic '80s power ballad, the lyrics resonated with the desolation of the film's post-apocalyptic world. Turner appeared in the video as the character Aunty Entity, who she said she connected with because she was "strong and resilient." "She lost so much and then went through so much to get the men in her world to respect her," Turner said. "I identified with their struggles because I lived them." The song was another hit: it reached number two in the United States and won a Grammy nomination and an Ivor Novello Award. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcm-tOGiva0 8. The Best (1989) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC5E8ie2pdM It was originally written for Bonnie Tyler, but was only a minor hit for the Welsh singer in 1988. A year later, Tina added some vocal power and new soft rock production, and made it one of her signature songs, one of the defining anthems of the decade. The song is often mistakenly called Simply The Best , a line from its famous chorus. She has appeared in numerous advertisements over the years, including one for Pepsi with Turner herself. It was also used to promote rugby league in Australia.

9. Steamy Windows (1989)

It appeared on Turner's 1989 album Foreign Affair. The lyrics left listeners in little doubt about what was happening in the backseat. It was another empowering and feminist song from Turner, about taking the initiative in a sexual encounter. Music Week described it at the time as "a delightfully sassy number" with "naughty guitar runs." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e04pzNwIqU8 10. GoldenEye (1995) Singing a James Bond theme is a milestone for any artist. Following the success of What's Love Got to Do With It , Tina's Oscar-nominated 1993 biopic, Bond producers tapped her for Pierce Brosnan's debut as Agent 007. The GoldenEye theme was composed by Bono and The Edge of U2.
