Meh.  Let's leave Lunch Box be.  I think the appropriate apologies have been made on both sides, really, so I'm at peace, here.  Back to your driving up the likelihood Borders ads will show up!

I use the Adblock Plus add-on for Firefox, so for a while I wasn't seeing any ads at all, but I've since set it to allow ads on this website. It's the only one I've made exception for, actually.

Although I've considered doing the same thing for the Borders website. The Borders Bookstore website, that is. Having reconsidered it now, though, I probably won't.

You didn't put Borders in boldtype, dude.  The ad gods may take exception to that, and I have to go buy the last Fury book at Borders Bookstore.

Borders is good an all, but again, there just aren't any near me.  I sure wish I had coupons from Books-A-Million.

And today's ads on this page:

Borders 20% off coupon and "Injury Lawyer Advertising".

I got My Big, Fat Supernatural Wedding and Honeymoon today using Borders coupons I got from the site.  They didn't want to let me use a separate coupon for each book, but I said I'd just pay for one using one coupon, then go back in line and use the other for the other book, so they just let me do it.  I mean, how silly is that?

Will JB refund my money if I don't like the books?  Just asking.

They have AMAZON book coupons?  Wow, I've never seen one!  I need to buy the Small Favor and Captain's Fury audio books off AMAZON!  I wonder if I could convince Google to feed me some AMAZON coupons?

I wandered in here to post about something else, but completely forgot about it when I saw the Amazon Books ad.  Maybe if I do what I didn't with the B-word, I can get more Amazon Book ads to appear.  Of course, if I do that, then they'll follow me around the site the way the B-word ads do.

This isn't exactly the one I initially saw, but it's close.

Unfortunately I still haven't had any luck getting an Amazon Book ad to appear.  Maybe if I tried really hard and kept posting about Amazon Books I'll eventually get lucky?

That's what I did with B-word, but now they follow me around the site.  If I help you with the whole Amazon Book ads thing, then I'd probably end up with Amazon Book ads following me around the site, too.

Would having a bunch of Amazon book ads following you around the site be a bad thing?  Amazon books are fabulously useful.  I love Amazon!
