Ok, who told Amazon that I came out?

[progmom]

Today, for the first time in months, my Gold Box offers were not all Italian travel guides and language tapes. Today, all my Gold Box offers were for power tools.

So I gotta think....someone must have told Amazon. :o

[billyskank]

1. ...

:rofl:

[Droopy]

2. They are probably just trying to sell

the stuff that isn't selling good.

[progmom]

3. It just cracked me up.

Every day for weeks and weeks and weeks all they have offered me are Italian and European travel guides. To have such a complete change in the type of things they were offering....it was just such a funny coincidence. :)

[JVS]

4. No flannel shirts?

[RevCheesehead]

5. Came out of what?

O8)

[billyskank]

6. from the cold

progmom is a spy, you see. ;)

[RevCheesehead]

7. Hi, billy!!

what's new with you? :hi:

[billyskank]

8. Hi Rev!

I can't stop sneezing. My coworker just said I must be allergic to work...but actually I haven't got any. So that can't be it.

:hi:

[ThomCat]

11. That's funny.

:)

[progmom]

19. I cannot answer this any better than Billyskank did.

35. I guessed you were away

by your absence from the radio on Saturday. ;)

[tjwmason]

9. They must have picked up on the order placed for your toaster oven.

:crazy:

[progmom]

20. Actually...

We bought progdad a toaster oven for his birthday earlier this month. He asked for it. I can't make this stuff up.

He thought it was hilarious when I explained the connotations. :)

I've been amazingly lucky with him. He's a very very decent human being.

[tjwmason]

27. That one made me laugh.

but being serious (or as serious as we're allowed to be in the Lounge), he does sound like a good fellow - and it's bound to be good for all four of you if you're staying on good terms.

:hug:

[Misunderestimator]

10. Wow... I just checked my Gold Box... and got a Condom Variety Pack!

:rofl:

Edited to add (with three "vibrating rings") :o

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

13. umm.....

when did you tell amazon you turned straight?

and when did they start selling condoms?!!??! :rofl:

[Misunderestimator]

14. That's what I'm wondering!

I don't have much use for those... unless I wanna make water balloons or something. :rofl:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

16. or traffic drugs

:D

[Misunderestimator]

17. Or balloon twisting...

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

18. now that is some funny shit

:rofl:

can I have some of what shes on?

[progmom]

21. For real?

Now that is way too funny. :rofl:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

12. LMFAO!!!!!

I know you need a new table saw ;)

[progmom]

22. actually - they did offer me a table saw blade

I guess they assume I already have the saw. :)

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

26. all good GLBT folk do

;)

[arwalden]

15. Now That You're Out, You're SubconsciouslyTyping Harder On The Keyboard...

... Amazon.com's web pages can tell how hard you mash the keys... and that's automatically interpreted as being butch. Ergo, your gold box offers you some power tools.

They're sneaky that way! They've got all this targeted marketing figured out... down to a science.

:hi:

[progmom]

23. hahaha

but in fact, it's quite the opposite. much less frustrated these days. :) i'm probably typing more gently.

[EstimatedProphet]

24. Did they send any offers on toasters?

[progmom]

25. not a one

but see above - we actually bought progdad a toaster oven. :o

[WCGreen]

28. I did.....

I just get a warm and fuzzy feelin' thinkin' 'bout you holdin' onto a power drill.....

[progmom]

30. hey, ya goofball

been thinking about you. i hope all is well in your world. :hug:

[WCGreen]

31. Pretty much....

Just finishin' up o the taxes and winding down a campaign...

Foot loose and fancy free come next wed....

[XNASA]

29. Amazon instinctively knows these kinda things.

Why do you think it's called 'Amazon'?

[billyskank]

33. You mean, the Femputer knew?

:D
