I noticed last night for the first time, and again this morning, that most of the ads I am seeing on this site are related to knees...knee bandages, knee braces, knee surgeries, etc.
I find it interesting that I wrote a post on here, and have been commenting back and forth about my knee injury, and all of a sudden knee-related ads start popping up.
Big Brother is watching me once again!
What are some interesting or unique topics you've discussed or looked up online, only to find ads related to that pop up on your computer shortly after that?
I always think the funniest times are when I go online and buy a product, and then several days later I starting seeing a deluge of ads featuring the product I bought. Hello Big Brother, if I already bought the product, you don't need to bombard me with ads trying to sell me a product I have already purchased!
Oh, and good morning and happy Sunday to all of you!

Yeah, it's definitely not as bad when I am on Safari. And I have all but stopped using Internet Explorer, because that's the absolute worst. Chrome hasn't been too bad so far, but definitely Safari is the best when it comes to filtering all that stuff.

@DianneN Don't worry, you and I are in the same boat. The young kid that works in the office adjacent to mine is always making fun of me for my computer illiteracy....
"Scott, I need your help!"
"Scott, my computer's not working!"
"Scott, how do I...?"
"Scott, what's this pop-up box mean?"
"Scott, what button do I push?"
This goes on all day long! haha

As one of my co-workers always says, "Any day above ground is a great day!"

@WiseGhots For sure! Sometimes, we just have to put things in their proper perspective! Even when having a bad day, we have to realize that we're still alive and kicking, and that's always a good thing!

We have a couple of guys at work who wear compression socks, and they say it really helps them. What's your thoughts? Do the compression socks help?
Good to see you too!
