I agree the intuitive software keeps getting more and more sophisticated and it is a bit scary if you're a private person. I don't get the whole mind set of telling millions of strangers personal details of your life to gain a following on social media, let alone having a thousand little brother companies creepy crawling into your virtual personal space.
I'm sorry... I meant great to hear (that they had rescued a dog). I was posting in a hurry and didnt pay attention to it.
Love it. Was all about the lab for years. Will forever be a dog rescuer for now on. Incredibly loyal dogs
We have three rescues.
Lucky - rescued from a hwy median 11 years ago. Half lab/great dane. Always had labs. This is the best dog to ever be a part of our family. Big dog but sweet as can be.
Tex- small terrier mix. Rescued at a Texaco gas station 6 years ago. Good little dog. I'm not really a small dog fan. But darn dog is as much a part of the family as anyone else.
Dixie - a medium sized lab mix. Rescued three years ago.Sweetest dog I've ever known. Rescued her from a pack of pit bulls running wild in the country. She was probably fighting dog bait but somehow got away. Thought she was a lab puppy but she never got over 35 lbs. 4 yrs old and face still looks like a lab puppy.
I'm an avid hunter. Have been my whole life. But can't stand to see an animal suffer. Would probably have more rescues but 3 dogs in the city is about max - especially house dogs.
I'm the biggest wimp when it comes to suffering animals.
This is scary WC - my wife and I were in the car one day and through a normal conversation we mentioned needing dog food and later on talking about replacing my son's Tevas that he lost at a camping trip.
Within the hour my wife had an advertisement for dog food and where to find Tevas in the Dallas area. It's creepy and she says it's happened numerous times.
I'm not on social media - other than Dawgnation - so it has never happened to me.
I know I suffer from old school syndrome but I have to question if social media is really worth it.
Smart phones are tied into the data gathering system, no doubt phones are mined and analyzed for marketing.
I question the cost of social media more and more, El Paso experienced the darkest side of unfettered social media over the weekend.
It's just a strange strange world we live in today. But I guess if it helps my Target and Home Depot shares do well - why should I care.
See the edited version of my last post. I used data on my phone for a few months and stopped several years ago. It wasn't because of the more serious reasons though. I just don't want to get attached to a media device that is with me 24/7. I have little doubt we'll have a mental illness defined from phone addiction soon.
