Three Thoughts for Thursday

Cumberbunnies, unwanted Facebook ads, and St. Patrick's Day protection in this week's three thoughts.

  1. If Benedict Cumberbunnies didn’t cost $70 a pop, I’d want one for my Easter basket.
  2. Dear Facebook, please continue to tweak your algorithms. The ads populating my news feed about how to tighten saggy chin skin and underpants for women who tinkle are making me not-a-fan. Thank you.
  3. St. Patty’s Day pinchers, take note. You may not pinch green-eyed people like me. Top of the morning to you!

Three Thoughts for Thursday

By the time I get to Phoenix, Ellie May Clampett's critters, and Facebook ads in this week's three thoughts.

  1. My sister texted the following weather report for our vacation in Phoenix: “Rainy and cool. Yuck!” I texted back: “I’ll take rainy and cool in Phoenix over Snowy and frigid in Iowa any day.”
  2. Now that Donna Douglas, the actress who played Elly May Clampett on the Beverly Hillbillies, who’s going to take care of the critters in the CE-ment pond?
  3. Lately, my Facebook news feed has been crowded with ads about Parkinson’s Disease and stretch mark remover for new moms. What conceivable algorithm would target one person for for both topics?

  1. I find the plethora of  before and after body wrap pictures on Facebook quite disconcerting. TMI!
  2. Because Facebook ads are age group targeted, the plethora of sponsored posts about wrinkle cream, sagging skin cream, and adult incontinence products on my Facebook feed is equally disconcerting.
  3. On the other hand, the Viking Cruise Line ads featuring older couples drinking wine as the breeze ruffles their silver hair don’t bother me at all. Because my hair hasn’t turned silver. Yet.
