OSUT#256 - Easter Bunny, Solar Eclipse...what's next?

[Expat]

If you put the app on your phone, you can just scan a QR code in the store and it automatically loads it to your card. I really should do that myself. There have been times when I see a "digital deal" in the store that I didn't see or forgot to load to my card from home.

Thanks. I will have to look into that. I hate having these extra apps on my phone. Of course I had just been using my work phone for many years and couldn’t have those apps,on it.

Yeah, I don't like having a bunch of apps either, but it seems to be the way of the world these days.

Mornin' patience!

All of it they can.

Probably no more than scanning your card does. At least the grocery store apps.

The "collector bots" are so dispersed these days, we have no way of knowing from what, who, how we are being "convenienced" or from where to where.

Now before you offer me another tinfoil hat, I can't tell you how often we are talking about something and ten minutes later I go on the web, Amazon for instance, and the first few screens include ads for exactly what we were just talking about getting.

Lowe's is up with the tech, too.
Just yesterday morning my wife was suggesting we replace the toilets. They do fine, but they are old and the porcelain is not as shiny as when it was new, making them harder to clean.

I got to Lowe's website looking for a sale on mulch and right up front are pages of toilets for my convenience.

This happens way too often to be just for me and my "convenience." This data collection is for their convenience.

Happens to us all the time. Occasionally, just for S & giggles we will discuss something unusual or obscure to see if we start getting ads on the subject.

Breakfast done. Ole Waylon got a strip of bacon. I only eat 2 and there were 3 left in the package. He was happy although he may have liked the little chunk of chocolate donut better.

Today’s plan, I will go to church. I am not sure on lunch. Ever since someone mentioned Wendy’s had the orange frosty, they have been popping up in my head.

 

[Expat]

Already have groceries.
i would like to plant a couple trees around here…
I also need a couple broccoli plants to replace rabbit damage.

Heck, if you can't beat 'em, use them for target practice anyway.

I don't know what dogs did to irritate God, but not being able to eat chocolate seems like cruel and unusual punishment for misbehavior.
