The woman who initially told me about it said it was very addictive and once
signed up, I'd spend hours on it. And I did on that first day, trying to
figure out how to use it. I think I pinned a few animal pics and a few
recipes. That's about it. Never went back to it except once in a while to
look and still wasn't appealing.
