Searching

Whenever I am in the market for a new item, I like to compare prices online before buying.  Or, depending on what the item is, I may search for patterns to make said item.

Earlier this winter I was looking to buy some new boots.  I Googled winter boots, and low and behold, nearly every website I visited after that had ads for boots.

Last week I was searching for patterns for cloth grocery bags.  Ads for grocery and tote bags are popping up everywhere.

This is not new.  This has been happening for a long time.  I just ignore the ads.  I have never, not even once, clicked on one of those ads.

But this winter has made me a little bit mean.

So now I spend some time each day searching for things like a duck-billed platypus or a dead armadillo or a purple aardvark.  Or maybe a gold plated thing-a-ma-bob or a jewel encrusted doohickey.

Who knew that there was really such a thing as goose down underwear!

  2. Rob... I was about 2/3 nuts before the winter finished me off. Sometimes a bit of general silliness makes it easier to bear.

  7. CottonLady...Yes, they are. Probably know every time I sneeze or....whatever! I make it a bit tougher for them because I don't have a cell phone to track.

    Yup, down-filled long johns. I got to see underwear ads for about a week after that one.
