 I fell for this SCAM again that Yahoo uses on a regular basis. They somehow must know my fondness for Linda Ronstadt and incorporated it into this pop up commercial laden filled site to no doubt plant all kinds of devious things onto my computer. It takes about 40 minutes to go through this site and the false advertisement that Linda is part of this historical document when in fact there is nothing there about her. This is more proof how devious and misleading the media is whether it is corporate or social media. Beware Linda fans. If this pops up for you DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. LINDA IS NOT THERE. |

I not long ago realized that the internet (more specifically certain sites) know where you search so they gear advertisement etc towards the user. I believe I brought it up on here how cool it was about this Linda advertisement on my computer as if all internet users would see this ad. Later, I realized it was related to my personal searches as Amazon does based on your searches, what you listened to on there, etc. Youtube does the same thing. Hope everyone having a happy Thanksgiving!!!!!! eddiejinnj

I thought they were going to bring up the dog that is in the photo that no one even realized was there until recently. lol. I was thinking, hey, whoever did this story must read the Ronstadt forum. Silly me:
ronstadt.proboards.com/thread/1066/linda-ronstadt-photos-13-favorites?page=12 Has anyone noticed the interesting images in the rocks? I wonder if they are fossils or just imagination? |

Yeah, I look for the word "sponsored" and just avoid those "clickbait" headlines, no matter how intriguing. Even some of the non-sponsored headlines are a waste of time in pursuing, nothing to be found specific to the picture or headline after clicking thru. I remember a few mos. ago facebook was going to crack down on this info-spam or content spamming as I'd call it. www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2016/08/04/facebook-cracks-down-on-clickbait/88070704/ |
