Hi tnthomas, I guess I am not aware of the implant issue.
* Thus, I am not sure if you are serious or playing along in jest with us, as we'd gotten a little OT and silly. ![]() I like your screen name, by the way. ![]() DejaVu Last edited by Jomar; 08-04-2015 at 03:58 PM. Reason: per guidelines |

TNT, I was sure if you were serious either, we were a little silly. I don't think implants are a problem but I have heard that some people do.
Hah! Well trackers were certainly a problem for me and I am embarrassed I didn't do something sooner. I downloaded Ghostery and Facebook runs MUCH smoother for me now, who knew. ![]() judi |

remember all our purchases are very valuable info to businesses. It is not just during online activities; it is also frequent shopper card programs (i.e. grocery store loyalty cards like Krogers, Harris Teeter, Shop Rite, JCPenneys, KMart/Sears, CVS, etc). They know what you tend to buy & at what price point- hence the ads, coupons, facebook ads, search engine info, etc.
It is called Data Mining and involves a lot more than just your address, phone and income. I'm afraid we are a commodity frequently bought, traded and sold - all for someone elses financial gain. {big sigh}
