I made a mistake. A big mistake. I ordered a laser
thermometer.
Now I cannot escape thermometers. No, not in
online ads -- but in spam. Nothing I do, no junk rule
filter no
unsubscribe, no action can convince the enterprising
hand
held laser thermometer work from home spammers that
I
don't need one, since I already have one.
I don't even mind spam, but can I get like different spam?
How many thermometers do these people think I need?
HELP!!!
How to solve this problem

Buy them all, get a world monopoly, and the sell them at vast markup and make meelions. |

Yeah, the spammers (like the ad software) just aren't clever
enough. They need to be able to find connections to other
products, then advertise/push those.
So after you've looked at/purchased a thermometer, they
could bring up things like hot water bottles, aspirin, chicken
soup...

|
| |
Kosher is kosher, irrespective of the season/festival. Now, some comestibles may be forbidden at certain times- hence only unleavened bread at Passover- but that's not within the scope of kosher; the Mishna gives the full low-down on what's permissible. |
|
| |
Or possibly it's Talmudic. |

//Meelions// sounds like a creepy crawling insect. |

Tchotchke is my preferred variant. It's a good word. Wiki says tshotshke, tshatshke, tchachke, tchotchka, tchatchka, chachke, tsotchke, chotski, or chochke are all good too. |
|
| |
sp: tchotchke: a k-nick k-nack, bric-à-brac item |
|
| |
Chachkies: owned by Chachi (?); see 'Joanie Loves...' |
|
| |
tsatskes : Yiddish, least amount of pollution from English. |

James Leroy brought a ceramic frog to the bank in search of a mortgage."What fresh hell is this?" exclaimed the Loans Officer. The Bank Manager explained: "It's a knick knack, bric à brac--give the kid a loan--his old man's a Rolling Stone." |

Better thermometers beats the glitched software's hemorrhoid cream. |

Original spelling: Czackas. A Slavic language word meaning toys.
Family name of Samuel Joseph Agnon. Yiddish pronunciation by
Polish and Czech Jews: Tsatskiss with the vowel A pronounced like
in the words Far and Czar. Galizian Jews influenced a bit by the
Ukrainian pronunciation said Chotchkess pronounced Tshatshkess
with the o pronounced like in the words Shot and Not. American
Jews pronounce the ending plural tense as 'iz' like the English plural
of Shortages and Mortgages. Third generation American Jews
pronounce the plural eez like Americans pronounce Birdies or Flies. |
|
| |
//..Birdies or Flies.//
Shouldn't that be "Birdies or Flees"? Or are USAns even
weirder than I thought? |

At least the thermometer thing makes (slight) sense in your
case. |

I'm on some sort of list to receive spam emails about ....
shoe stretchers. |
|
| |
Hand on my heart, I've never searched for 'shoe stretching
implements' online or in real life. Not ever. |
|
| |
Just saying that Purple makes pretty good facemasks; but,
looking for them online gets you a marketing blitz like no
other. |
|
| |
[AusCan531] Ah ,but did you buy shoes that weren't your size? |
