I haven’t clicked on any ridiculous ads in months, I swear.
.
.
But glow in the dark owl undies are still popping up.
As are Ball Hammocks.
.
.
I assure you, I’m not.
.
.
Please….
Make it stop.
.
.
Well said Shana.
.
.
Ugh.
It’s enough to make me quit social media altogether.
.
.
It never ceases to amaze me how different platforms communicate these days.
And by communicate, I mean stalk your every move and gather information to be used for targeted advertising.
Case in point… I clicked on this Wal Mart ad I saw on Facebook the other day because it looked ridiculous and might be good blog fodder.
.
.
A half hour later I checked my WordPress account and noticed a new follower.
.
.
That can’t be a coincidence.
Of course, I Googled Bombay’s new Bramble gin last week…
.
.
And was hit with this ad on my Apple news feed later that day.
.
.
It really is uncanny how well they know me.
🤣
.
.
Because we’re still here.
.
.
Sadly, I don’t have to imagine that.
.
.
If only that were true.
.
.
Vaccines. We never had a problem with them before….
.
.
Unfortunately, he may be right.
.
.
Technically not Covid humor…. but if the shoe fits.
.
.
Because I still need to laugh.
.
.
Nothing like negative reinforcement.
.
.
It’s all about choices.
.
.
It certainly is.
.
.
That seems fair to me.
.
.
I really need that shirt.
.
.
But sometimes it makes me laugh.
.
.
And here I didn’t even know my vulva wanted a spa day.
A lot of the comments were negative.
.
.
But then there was this one… and I’m dying.
.
.
Ball wash!
Guess I’m not the only one getting those annoying ads.
🤣
.
.
Lately Facebook’s algorithms have given me non stop ball wash and butt deodorant. I have no idea why …. as I don’t have balls or need to perfume my ass.
But this?
This is definitely a bridge too far.
.
.
Tofu!
For the love of all that’s holy…. no.
I don’t eat it.
I won’t eat it.
And you can’t make me eat it.
.
.
A more disgusting thing to put in my mouth I have never met.
And that’s saying something.
.
.
Because I’m still laughing. (Mostly at myself, but hey… you’ve got to work with what you’ve got.)
.

Actual selfie of author
.
.
Now that’s what I call following the CDC guidelines.
.
.
Wow. Now I’m really glad we got another cat.
.
.
Agreed. I listen to my husband’s all the time and trust me, they would be greatly improved with a keg or two.
.
.
I vaguely remember wandering aimlessly through brick and mortar stores sometime in the distant past….
.
.
Technically this last one isn’t pandemic humor… but we’ve all spent so much time on social media lately it seemed appropriate.
.
.
Husband was flipping through a magazine the other day and came across this…
.
.
I think we all know our fair share of those.
.
.
While I adore my phone, I have a strict no tech in bed policy. That way there be monsters….
.
.
Karen. What a bitch.
.
.
I admit to not being familiar with that term.
.
.
But yes, it seems every day is Blursday lately.
.
.
Needless to say I am very familiar with that term.
🍸
.
.
You upload one little photo of your new family member to Facebook.
.
.
Just one, to show everyone how sweet he is…. and that damn algorithm kicks into high gear.
Now, along with the constant ball wash and toilet incense ads?
I’m getting these:
.
.
Cat butt pillow cases?
No.
I love our new little furry friend…. but have absolutely no desire to slip off into dreamland with my face on his ass crack.
One feline does not a crazy cat lady make.
.
.
The beautiful stray cat we fell in love with and gave a home?
.
.
Has been returned to his rightful owners.
.
.
I think you can guess that wasn’t my choice…. but when you receive a call from the local police department, there really isn’t any way to avoid it.
Apparently his people had been frantically searching for him but aren’t active on social media and didn’t see my original posts about finding him. A friend of theirs alerted a lost animal site…
.
.
And there really was no doubt.
.
.
After the police gave me their phone number, I found this on my FB messenger.
.
.
Damn.
.
.
They live right up the road from us.
The guilt was strong, because I really wanted to keep him.
.
.
But look, he has a twin brother.
.
.
Double damn. There were worried children.
I had to call.
So I called.
They came, they thanked us profusely, they took their beautiful kitty, and yes…. I cried.
Now the house seems emptier than ever.

River's world.....
