Awhile back, I wanted a graphic of hedge trimmers to use in one of my posts. Not finding what I wanted in my piddling graphics program, I went online and stole an image off nextag, a site I never use in real life when shopping by internet. Since then, whenever I access my yahoo email account, there in the corner sits an ad from nextag, featuring gardening equipment. At first only a variety of hedge clippers were displayed, but when that didn’t entice me to buy, clipper attachments were thrown into the mix. Still getting no response, there appeared seeding machines and other unidentifiable lawn toys. My personal favorite was the electric snow shovel. Last night I saw a composter and a $1000 plow to attach to….what, my ford escort? Yeah, that would work about as well as that car goes in the snow. Luckily for me, my wonderful landlord plows me out after every snowfall.
Little do ‘they’ realize that not only am I against motorized gardening tools, preferring manual work with say, an ax, I don’t even have a yard. I have a pool of solidified snow all around my house, and even that isn’t mine. It’s rented, and I’ll be moving out about the time it all thaws out and starts to turn green.
So there’s your proof that it is very easy to track where you’ve been and what you’ve looked at online. Right now, you’ll have to excuse me. I’m going to go back to nextag to type in ‘boats’, and maybe ‘tropical art’, in an attempt to get more appropriate, attractive advertising up on the screen. Gardening tools are an insult to a sailor!
Now that's instant service, and much better!
