What's weird...yesterday I was emailing from my google account, kidding about becoming a dog pooper scooper. Next to the inbox list there is a "learn more about..." section and it had listed "pooper scooper."
Now how in the heck does google know about that? They even snake your gmail? That's unsettling to me. What happens if I have email sex? "Learn more about...heaving bosom." "Learn more about...turgid pillar of manhood." Yeesh. |

I long ago gave up the idea that anything do online is ever confidential in any way ....

That's weird, Google apparently doesn't think I'm anything in particular. Unless I am missing something on that page that supposedly tells you who Google thinks you are.
Anyway, I don't really imagine that stuff online is truly private either. To be honest you'd have to be crazy to think that it is.

Just dropping in to say hi.
I've come to my brother's to check on a delivery, so I'm in and out. Got to get back home to change the cats over. Tried to hook up the router yesterday. Grrrrr. I feel like some silly '40s housewife who is confused by these thingamijigs called plugs and cables... The instructions make it look so easy, but of course what I have in my house looks nothing like the illustrations. So I have had to ask Stevo to come round at the weekend to sort it out. Which is embarrassing. The 'rents are home tomorrow midnight and I will be back online sometime before Monday. Try not to elect Santorum in my absence, mmm-kay?

Google and facebook work on the same principle. The recent change is that they are now cross-referencing the information from google, gmail, youtube etc to build a fuller picture of you, for better targeting of ads. Nothing on line is private. Sometimes a bit hard for Joe Public to see, but the companies that run these services have you in their databases. If you don't want to share it with the world, don't post it online anywhere.

I don't either. What thing?
My mom and I took a painting class last night. Well, that isn't my hidden talent. 1) baton twirling--scratch 2) dance--scratch 3) unbelievably rich--scratch 4) black--scratch 5) singing--scratch Sorry Ma.  There's still comedy.

Today I bought a Toblerone and I am going to eat the entire thing myself because I'm a grown up and I can do whatever I want.
I'm also an only child who never learned to share.

Did I mention that my trees were brilliant but when I had to paint the little waterwheel building it looked like a thatch hut in Africa?
So you don't want me to paint your house. I might get a pretty good likeness of your face, though. Send me a picture!

I've been taking care of this guy's eyeglass needs for 10 years, and today I found out that he played 3 years for the Eagles, from '70 to '73.
