Invasion of Privacy

I have had 9 physical therapy sessions to take care of my right shoulder.  From the very beginning and based upon my ability to move my arm in various ways, the therapist, based upon his experience, believes it is my rotator cuff that has been damaged.  

If the damage is not too severe, it will heal itself.  If it does not heal itself, then, I will need to have surgery to stitch up the tear or to bolt the muscles down to the bone.  The recovery period is about 3-4 months, maybe longer since I am in my 70s.

I have performed google searches on rotator cuff issues, diagnosis, surgery, recovery, and exercises just to get an idea of what might lie ahead for me.

NOW...  when I go on YouTube to look for a video to post on this blog, I am inundated with videos about the rotator cuff.

SOMEHOW...  anytime I do a google search on anything that information is distributed to all sorts of other places trying to get me to watch or buy something pertaining to the rotator cuff.  While the rotator cuff is current, this happens EVERYTIME I do a google search on any topic.

If this search is performed on my android phone, then I get hit with advertisements, text messages, and other stuff pertaining to that search.  If I look at google news, then there are all sorts of ads trying to sell me something related to that search.

This pisses me off so bad, that I refuse to look at any of these ads when I actually do want to buy something.  Because you solicited me without my permission then I am buying from someone else.  If you come to my door trying to sell me something, I will not buy because you were not invited.

There is one exception and that is Girl Scout Cookies.

I am sick and tired of people trying to sell.  This is one of the reasons why my wife and I don't go on vacations anymore in the Caribbean because there are all these people trying to sell you timeshare meetings for a variety of free gifts.

It got so bad one year that we literally would run in the other direction when we saw them coming or if they caught us off guard, we would ignore them as if we did not see them.

Our behavior was RUDE and I admit that but their behavior invaded our space and sometimes our privacy.  Unfortunately, this is the world that we live in and violations of our privacy are just going to escalate.
