How does the Internet know I have belly fat? How does it know that I'm old enough for a reverse mortgage at 62+ and for the wrinkle eraser program on Dr.Oz?
I'm just talking about the ads that appear along the side of my Facebook page. You know, the ones we all try very hard not to notice.
Even creepier, I recently purchased some LL Bean clothing online--their "indispensable knits" for travel. (You can understand why I had to have them.) I bought slacks and a top. I also looked at the "Flyaway Cardigan," but I did not buy it. After that, every time I looked at my Facebook page, LL Bean's flyaway cardigan was there taunting me. Honestly, I would have forgotten about it with my poor short-term memory, but the Internet wouldn't let me! Eventually, the flyaway cardigan arrived at my house via FedEx, an early birthday gift (at my suggestion) from my son and daughter-in-law. Immediately, the ads for this sweater went away.
How do they know? It's creepy.
