apartmentluthier Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Michael, I think the ads shown are related to your surfing habits. Try searching for "tone wood" instead of just wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallie Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I would suggest, to those who have not already, to download the quick addon Adblock Plus. No more ads, pop ups, or annoying Youtube ads. Just google "Adblock Plus" and you should find the addon there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violadamore Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Funny you're getting "female" instead of "girl" or "woman". You didn't get these links from someone in Ann Arbor, did you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiingfiddler Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Surfing habits have nothing to do with it. Some smart packager of advertising read a thread or two and decided that people who post here could use a bit of sparkle in their social lives.

Bill Yacey Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 If I wasn't married, I would place a personal add here: Looking for female with strong arms for splitting wood, must be good at gouging, enjoy cooking various resins and oils. Gardening knowledge is a definite asset, specifically in the cultivation of weld, madder and equisetum. I enjoy quiet times in the shop; the ability to speak any language at all isn't required. Highly un-opinionated individuals will have preferred consideration . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Holmes Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I want to voice my indignation over these MN ads. Yeah... I'm not a fan either... but I imagine they help raise funds to keep the board going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oded Kishony Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 When Borat is speaking fake Khazakh he often uses Hebrew words, even as he's spewing anti Semitic garbage. Funny in a very disturbing way. OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny in a very disturbing way. OK That's not in good taste for sure but maybe Sasha Cohen ( Borat ) does it for historical reasons having to do with the former USSR.

BassClef Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I just read the OP and not the comments yet but I am also perturbed that all of my ads relate to Martin Swan Violins and websites offering services for men to meet other men.

martin swan Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 BassClef, the distress you are feeling is perfectly normal as you begin to understand the way you differ from those around you. However, Martin Swan Violins can only help and encourage you to acknowledge those feelings - if you are suffering from excessive perturbation I recommend seeking the help of a professional therapist.

Martin. don't you worry about BassClef's attitude. Lots of "us" here like you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassClef Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Never mind, just read the thread and this must be related to a back and forth Martin and I were having about reaming buttonholes. Nothing to see here. Carl, I am the CEO of the unofficial Martin Swan fan club so please don't get ahead of yourself my friend. Nothing could be more damaging to my reputation than suggesting I have anything but unbridled admiration for our Scottish comrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
