If you don't think they're watching

Post by ICDEDTURKES »

Last night my dad had to be airlifted from our local hospital to a bigger hospital two hours away... I got home about 1230 started getting a bag packed, doing laundry making phone calls...

About 230 I got on Facebook... Low and behold the very first ad is the one pictures below.... I had never googled north flight, either hospital location turned off, nothing.... Only thing I did was talk to my sisters, call 911 and go to the hospital... I never used the hospital WiFi... The only thing I can think of is we share the same name....

Besides being totally freaked out as I'd from a long couple a days this really made me think

Look at the time

I think there is setting on your phone that needs to be disabled. I’m not sure how to do it.

Thanks guys I'll make another post when I catch up. I'm scared there's alot going on... He's stable now... I haven't really posted on here I've been his full time caregiver for over a year. We've been through alot I've gotten him through alot.... Nothing scared me til yesterday, I couldn't get him better and made the call...

I didn't go down today they have him out.... I'm exhausted, I've been on my own taking care.of him, today's just weird I'm always dictated by his needs. Today I'm getting some stuff caught up and gonna relax... I have a couple long days ahead that could entail some very big decisions...

But yeah that ad in.my Facebook freaked me out... I really don't know how they knew besides name... That's not a coincidence

My wife and I went to a family cemetery a couple of weeks ago. We discussed hiring a company to straighten a couple of leaning headstones.
Next day she had an ad on her Facebook feed for a headstone company. She hadn't searched that on her phone.

I spoke to a mineral supplement rep about our cattle. That night I had facebook ads from his company. Time to polish my tinfoil hat

Hope your dad improves.

Nothing ticks me off more than be talking to someone about hunting boots or clothes etc and then all I see is said adds on Facebook for them. They definitely listen and also pickup what you e searched. Borrow a buddies phone and lookup midgets or something corny. They will be scratching their head

I never had any issues until I got vaccinated. Now I get adds popping up for three Boobed midgets daily.

Tom, I hope your Dad improves.

Thanks Ronnie... No big updates this morning.... I might go down this evening with my sister.... My sister hadn't seen dad in over a year til Saturday and she's a negative Nancy.... Yesterday she tried pin on going or not going on me goes "but what will people think if we don't go" Told her I don't give a bleep what people think.. I've been changing diapers, bathing and waiting hand and foot for a year...

I'm still in that surreal stage, knew this would eventually come but have a pretty positive light on the situation...

My other.sister lives down.there she's there now should.be getting an.update soon....
