When I was working the only common link between my work PC and my laptop at home was that I logged on to this site and an astronomy site on both. Then I started getting software ads popping up on my laptop at home (I was a computer systems admin) so the link had been made by tracking cookies from one or both of those sites. Also at home my wife and I share an Amazon and Ebay account, she started getting ads for guitars and astronomy stuff (plus size dresses too truth be told) on her laptop. Anyone else experienced that?

I have as well yes. I erroneously responded to another post while meaning to respond to this one. Further. I get ads from my private account in my work account, no bueno..

I was surfing on my wife’s computer the other day. Now she’s getting ebay notification emails for Thunderbirds...

Well played!

 

[hillerup]

I was afraid to ask... but thought it as well.

Two minds think alike!

 

[hillerup]

Nah, the confozzled snake went in as is...

 

[hillerup]

I think somebody bought it.

Wow! Not easily fooled, are you?

IMHO...the "point" of vodka, is that it's neutrality/transparency make it the perfect beverage for turning non-alcoholic beverages, into alcoholic ones

As if a better "point" was needed!

That's what I paid for an E-Type back in 83. Wish I would have held on to that too!!

Mynext door neighbour has a V12 Etype, poor picture but the plate is worth a look

Welcome to the wonderful world of "surveillance marketing"...

So, if I may ask, what does the wife think of the plus size dresses ads and your "new" identity?

She attacked me with an axe Viking style

No seriously she doesn't like the plus size dresses but other than that she's been a star and has been very helpful and supportive. I'm very lucky

Edit, she doesn't like the plus size dresses as in she want's to see me fit smaller ones

Nice! Dunno about today but back then you didn't need a front license plate in FLA..

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

That's kinda how I think of ALL vodka. May as well drink Everclear. In fact, I was told by a semi-reliable person that vodka is all just diluted grain alcohol. If it has any flavor at all, it's not acceptable as unflavored vodka. In other words, I don't see the point of vodka at all.

Well, maybe the point was to put a smile on Russian faces during Siberian winters?

It's the kinda license plate you would expect to find on Austin Powers E-Type!

And to keep them from overthrowing the Zar and Stalin and all those great folks...

Nope,still just on the rear-of the car. Trucks have 'em just on the front,esp. tractors,as in 18 wheelers since ya can't see the back pulling a wagon.
