Just irritating. I'm here looking at TMS, the volume's on my computer, it's night time here, and all of the sudden I've got to quick turn the sound down.

I had one a few weeks ago. Hadn't happened since. Not sure why that is.

I mean, if we're going to have pop-ups, at least make them some good porno, not some guy talking to me about my cholesterol. I'm sitting on the couch, reading TMS, eating a leftover patty-melt and drinking a beer. Does it sound like I'm concerned about my triglicerides? (sp)

There should be no pop ups at all. I'll get Jon to look into that tomorrow morning. Sorry for the trouble.

I also had one pop up on me maybe a month back. I figured it was a quirk so I never said anything, It has not happened since then.

Thx.

I think the ad I saw was for a Toyota Camry, but I can't swear to it.

I want to say that it was for some type of insurance, but I am not 100% on that.
