Many times I have noticed an ad relating to the post. For example, if a post asks about an area to fish, there will be a resort ad or a guide ad from that area. I don't think it is a coincidence, it's the way the program is set up. They know everything you know or think.


Quite often when my Wife and I are just talking an add comes up regarding a product or something related to the conversation. Alexa and Siri aren’t the only ones listening 😉

I certainly believe the same thing. We have a Google device and I think we’re being monitored 24/7. Too much to be coincidence.

Over time, I have mentioned cowboy boots, and up pops several commercials and pictures of boots. Later, I mentioned cowboy hats, and wow, I had hardly finished when some Stetson hats popped up.

I would not be surprised to see rainbow condums show up if mentioned. Just Sayin...RJS

RJ, at sixteen I wasn’t that ignorant and didn’t guess answers to questions if I didn’t know them. I’ve been working since I was 8 and grew up fast. I cared about my future unlike a lot of kids today who want their future given to them free.

Well Bob, heard a preacher say:

When you’re green, you’re growin’;
When you get ripe, you start to rot.

He was from Texas, too.
Smart man.....

Those would even be funnier if they were jokes. Those are just facts of today. My nephew said he heard his buddy having screaming organism in the other room with his girlfriend one night. That was 5 years ago. He was 23 and serious😲

I worked with a grown man that called everything something else, like a lawn chair was a lozenge chair. We used to fish a lot together and he called his Jon boat a tackle box. Whatever you needed was somewhere in the boat. He called his troll motor a towin motor. I wish I could remember more. He was a riot.

Sounds like your friend was an Englishman, maybe Welsh. There is a group, perhaps Welsh who swap words around and do what you have described. Just Sayin...RJS

I dunno about his ancestry but he was born and raised in Louisiana and had bright red hair. George died shortly after I retired of lung cancer.
