   Not paranoid, but when you have a conversation about, say fishing, and then log on and find all the ads are for fishing gear – - I got tired of it…

   My brother thinks it’s funny and keeps asking Alexa where to bury the bodies…

   Hello shipmate – I was small town and the draft board informed my dad I was going to be drafted – I joined the Navy and got my notice while in boot camp. When I retired from the Navy, I had a hard time adjusting to the 9 to 5 routine LOL…

   I disabled the voice option in all electronics in the house – computers, tablets, cellphones, stereos, security devices, televisions, and even the thermostat.

   My brother’s neighbor trained his watch dog to be friendly to everyone and let them come in the house. However, they could not leave unless the master ok’d it. When questioned why he trained him like that, he said the burglar, when caught “in the house” by the police, could not argue that it was not him.

   The wife and I put things we want in an on-line “wish list” throughout the year – and share it with the kids – it is generally related to our hobbies or travel. We double check the list in October and remove things that are not applicable any more. Since we don’t live near our families, we don’t know what the latest “trends” are so we send the kids/grandkids money and let them do as they wish – much easier than dealing with sending the wrong things.

   Thankfully we have not had bed bugs when traveling – close one time when we found one in the shower at the motel we were at but the room was not infested. We now have a 19ft travel trailer that is our home away from home… We have it sprayed for bugs in the spring before we head out and in the fall before we put it away for storage. We have a cat that travels with us – 3 out of 4 kids are allergic to the cat so we can’t stay at their house thus the TT – works great for us.

    No argument from me on that. The company I worked for mandated that if you were on the job and going to make/receive a call while on the road (like a scheduled conference call), you must pull off and park. Failure to do so meant termination. The company could track phone movements and talk times for the company issued phones and they let it be known. Note: Company policy was no business calls allowed using personal phone. Although it was done for safety and legal reasons – I fully supported the policy – talking on a phone (even hands free) is a distraction and is not the same as a conversation with a passenger – the passengers are generally watching for hazards too…
