How to tell your advertising may not be hitting the mark.
I do not smoke.
I have not ever smoked.
I happen to be of the opinion that smoking is one of the stupider things you can do to your body.
And when people like ME find the graphic anti-smoking ads so annoying that I change the channel of the TV/radio when one comes on, what makes you think your target audience is doing any different?

Might want to confirm that “everyone else does it” before using that excuse on TV.
Yah know, being blatent about the money grubbing just pisses off your customers.

Excuse me, how much have you had to drink tonight?
That was the question I didn’t ask tonight. I considered it though. Especially when you slowed to a complete stop at a green light, and watched it sit green for at least 30 seconds, while horns blared behind you, then yellow, then red. And when you then got out of your car to find out why the car behind you was leaning on their horn and proceeded to claim to be “tired”? Uhuh. Time to go home and sleep it off, cause I’m on the line with 911 giving them your plate number as a suspected drunk driver, as well as the direction you’re headed in…..

A couple of these are from yesterday, which I normally try to avoid because it can be very difficult to tell whats real and whats not, but both of these come across as real, so I included them in the batch.

Wild life
I’ve mentioned before that we’ve got wild turkeys out back. We see them off and on, though I don’t believe Apollo has ever actually seen them, I know he’s smelled them though.
This morning when I took the dogs out for their morning potty break I could hear what sounded like (at first listen) a bunch of kids laughing/yelling off the back of the property. Which didn’t make sense since thats miles of forest….then I realized it was turkeys making all that noise. Apollo was not amused. He braced into a very aggressive stance and started huffing. Arty was oblivious. Since Arty had finished his business, and Apollo showed no sign of starting I coaxed them back to the house…only to get DRAGGED in the door by Apollo. When I left for work Husband took the dogs out again, normal schedule, and he says that shortly after I left the turkeys started back up again. Apollo turned and booked it for the house with all speed and determination. Since he weighed in at 98lbs a couple weeks ago there’s not much that’ll stop him from going in the direction he wants to go……when Husband texted me to tell me I had to laugh at my goofy puppy…..
Then this afternoon on my way home a BIG dark and white bird, with a white head soared over the road….and just now when I took the dogs out an equally big bird soared overhead….I’m thinking we got Bald Eagles nearby!
Full Page Ads SUCK
Seriously. I don’t care what kind of webpage you have, I don’t care how closely related the the ad (or PLEASE JOIN OUR MAILING LIST, or whatnot) is to the subject matter of your page. I DON’T CARE. Having my webpage hijacked so you can try to sell something is one of THE MOST ANNOYING thing, especially when I’m in a hurry and just trying to find a reference that I saw yesterday or some such.
Not only am I NOT going to buy whatever it is you just hijacked my page for, you make me want to read your page even less. FRICKING STOP IT.
And yes, this rant is brought to you by a webpage I normally read quite a bit of that normally has minimal ads, suddenly deciding that a full page hijack is nessecary to sell their new item. I actually suspect its an April Fools thing, you know what I DON’T CARE, YOU JUST HIJACKED MY SCREEN.

My head is killing me…
Allergies or early sinus infection I’m not sure, though likely the allergies caused the sinus infection if thats what it is. I was taking Clariton for them, but it wasn’t cutting it any more. At my doctors suggestion I’m trying Zyrtec now. We tried to go right to a higher powered prescrition med and my insurance had a cow, so we’re going to have to work my way up to it. I will say that since I don’t normally have sinus infections in the spring (fall yes, spring no) if thats what this turns out to be we’ll be giving up on the Zyrtec…..
