A recent blood test revealed that my cholesterol was high and Ive chatted with friends about this around the kitchen table.
Since then my facebook is filled with adverts to lower it,
Aged garlic, beetroot ,,red yeast something or other, berberine??the list goes on.
I,ll stick to the oats and cut down on the fats but it,s amazing how advertising is so targeted.

Yes BB seems to be listening to, reading and watching what we write or do …..

Are we being listened to/monitored? I'll probably be labelled a tin hatter for saying that but I've had weird stuff happen as well. Just today, I was looking for pilates classes on my laptop and no more than an hour later up pops an ad on my mobile for pilates classes. My mobile isn't linked to my laptop. One other example (of many) a few months ago MrCC asked me save the netting oranges are sold in - don't ask! Next thing there's a pop up on my mobile about 12 different uses for the very same netting. That was too obscure a thing to put down as being a coincidence.
