Monday

I ordered the one thing I have gotten from them online from my computer.

I got two of them for my husband, who loves ravens. They work great and look great.

However, I just wanted those two things. I was not trying to connect with the company, nor was I trying to get on their email list. That is what happened, though. My email is flooded with Temu ads all the time. I get suggestions about them even when I am not shopping.

These days, ordering anything online is tantamount to inviting them into your house forever. Not a good thing, in my opinion. Boy, I miss the days when TV and radio was the 'media' and you could turn the damned things off of you didn't want to listen to them.
