A new pet peeve has popped up on my radar...companies trying to guilt you into signing up for their newsletters. A lot of these sites I get these links from have something pop up to sign up for a newsletter from time to time. In order to close it instead of clicking an X at the corner, you have to click some snarky sentence like "No thanks, I don't want fat burning tips", "No thanks, I'm not interested in being awesome" or "No thanks, I don't need to get bikini ready." I get enough passive aggressive BS in my day, I don't need it from a website trying to guilt me into signing up for spam, thanks toolbags.
But enough of my passive aggressive hate...let's get to...

It's supposed to be in the low 70's this weekend and they claim the snow is done for the season. I have to imagine we'll get out and about at some point. We do have some house stuff that needs taken care of but maybe we'll save that for the evenings so we can enjoy that big ball of light in the sky that has come out after hiding for 2 weeks.
What are y'all into this weekend?

TGIF indeed! Great links today. Everyone have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteAlways love to see what you've been reading. I loved the hotel security check article...good to know. Along the lines of your rant, I hate it when you have to watch a commercial before you can get to the good stuff. Most will let you skip them, but not all. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt's in the 70's here too! We have got to cut the lawn this weekend from all the rain, but it looks very green and pretty. I did a lot this week so I'm giving myself a day off today. I just need to do one small load of laundry and one project and that's it. This weekend I'm going to enjoy sitting on the deck listening to the beautiful wind chimes I was given as a memorial gift. I may be meeting up with a friend tonight who needs help with insurance stuff, but I'm waiting to hear back from her. Our internet has been intermittent at best the past few days due to the Dept of Trans. doing some kind of construction so it'd be up for a few minutes, then down for a few hours, back and forth, back and forth. But I think yesterday was the last day because I haven't had any issues today...except for AOL Mail being horrendously slow! It's been like this for a couple of months and it's just awful to deal with. I emailed them and got zero help (already explained that I cleared my cookies, cache, history and he tells me to clear my cookies, cache, and history). So annoying, but if that's the worst thing I have to deal with, I can handle it. Enjoy your weekend with that big ball of light and gentle breeze. I do believe Spring is FINALLY here! xoxoxoxo
