How did I go for ads for swim suits for women of generous proportions and crafting materials to Vietnam Vet caps?

But, he has no reason to look for Vietnam Vet caps.

(39,343 posts)If you have comcast you can make sure that you are not sharing or broadcasting the generic xfinity share wifi. Comcast broadcasts from your modem a generic xfinity wifi signal so that other paying customers can use it. I'm on my phone so I don't recall how you ensure you are not broadcasting it.

(39,343 posts)I do hopefully get to chase people if/ when they're active. It can be fun but summers are brutal and it's tough on vehicles. I've been idling pretty much all day.

(7,813 posts)the computer camera is being used (even though I keep it covered up). Lately I've had a lot of ads for makeup tips for older women. I'm an older woman who doesn't use makeup because it irritates my skin and eyes. I never google it.
Almost as strange: I bought a new stove about two months ago. Now I get ads for stoves. How many do they think I will buy? There aren't ads for other appliances, just stoves.
