Like Facebook, the only people who complain about it aren't members of
the group. It's like a club... open to anyone who wants to join,
excludes those who don't, and those who complain want it both ways.
Love it!

I probably have another 20,000 saved recipes on my computer - but now
that I have my Pinterest boards, I can be more choosy about what I
save.

Somehow or other, I lost a lot of family pictures lately due to a
computer dying and enough problems with the replacement that I sent it

thumb drive or portable HD they are on yet. Thank goodness for the
cloud.
