Last night I got a computer message telemarketing call. It said something like, "We noticed you recently visited the website of an affiliate of ours and-"
I hung up at that point. That's kinda weird and disturbing, right? Getting a telemarketing call after visiting a website? Or is that common now?
I suppose they could be lying. Or else some sort of ad-tracking software noticed I visited the site and they matched me to a list of phone numbers somehow.
Timelies all!
Got a flat tire this morning. Brought the car to the nearest service station. Took until 12:30 to get the car back.(Luckily they brought me back to my house and picked me up when things were done, else I would have been quite bored.) Took the rest of the day off work. Here I am.

Congrats on the new job, Gud!

I have deep privacy concerns. It makes sense if you explicitly gave your telephone number to one of their affiliate websites, like signing up for a service, asking for an insurance quote, donating to charity, or anything else where there's a box saying something like "it's okay for partners to contact me".
If you haven't done that, then your ISP could be evil.
I mean, they're all evil, but business practices may vary.
It cracks me up sometimes how in sync my sister and I are. We'll frequently go off to get dressed in the morning without seeing each other and come out in nearly identical outfits. That kind of thing.
Texts this morning:
Her: So, what are you doing Sunday?
Me: Going to a football game?
Sure enough, her ex offered us his season tix for this weekend. Which never happens, even when they were together.

I don't think I have but I can't be positive. Maybe I should have listened to the whole message--it might have given me a clue.
