I would love to get some input and feedback from you on a couple of things I'm trying to decide on. Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions in the comments.
1) To have ads or not to have ads? That is my question. How do you feel about ads on blogs you visit? I love the way my blog looks (took me long enough to get it just right) and I don't really want a bunch of ads flashing and ruining the effect. I also have strong feelings about advertising for things I personally don't agree with (from what I can tell with Google Ads, I can block some types of ads, but I don't think to the extent I want). There might be a way to have only ads I choose (instead of Google Ads), but I don't know how to do that. Now on the other hand, having ads would help generate a little extra income for me. Easy extra income is good! I know it might not be much, but every little bit helps. So, ads or no ads? What do you think?
2) I have to buy a cooler for my refrig. I have narrowed it down to 2 Coleman Extreme coolers: Coleman 52 Qt. Extreme cooler and the Coleman 58 Qt. Marine Ultimate Extreme cooler.

The marine cooler costs twice as much as the other one, but has some upgraded features. Both have ratings of about 5 days, which I realize is totally dependent on how you use it and many other factors. I take that rating with a grain of salt - and don't expect miracles, but if I can keep my food cold for 3 - 4 days on average, I'd be a happy camper. I would love to know if any of you have used either of these coolers and what you thought? Also, I am NOT an experienced cooler user. Other than maybe using a small one to carry my lunch to work, I really haven't used a big cooler very often (did learn the hard way to put even packaged food in plastic containers before going into the cooler!). How do I pick a cooler size when I don't know how much food I'll be keeping in it on a regulars basis? I don't need room for drinks, just food. Is there a ratio of ice to food I should maintain?
Guess I could always just camp in really cold places and not worry about a cooler, but then I'd be bothering you about recommendations for heaters.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions and input.
