Snort! (That was almost a laugh, Lavern.)

Kevin, if you've ever mentioned an event in Toronto ("Heading for the Raptors game" or "Going to hear Leonard Cohen Saturday"), or named your city or its suburb, they're probably following you based on that alone. That IDs you as somebody who's in or near Toronto. And if you ever mention moving or life changes which are behind other people's moves, they'll attack.

Maryn, who'll cover you while you run

*awards Lavern 10 points*

I don't know about Twitter, but my Facebook feed has been littered with ads that seem targeted by conversations I'm having with my friends, which I find creepy and annoying. :(

Kevin dahling, there's a place just off the Don Valley I know you'd adore...


You're looking very handsome today, by the way. New shirt?

PS: I'm in The Beach. The Don Valley area is far too gauche for my taste.
