If I used anything like that, I'm sure it would be a photo of the cat turd on the doormat, and the comment 'Betty missed'. :-D

It seems that Instagram is very popular at the moment - photo of your cat/cake/fab kitchen/vegan creation/holiday in Cancun...no I don't use it - somehow I don't think 'hashtag' 'ironing pile' or 'Biology homework' will get me many followers.

I've just had someone accusing me of having a 'fake' profile on FB.
I asked him why he thought it fake - was it my name? (a nickname - you can't tell if I'm male or female), or because he couldn't 'link' to my friends, or because he couldn't see 'conversations' - just what I'd posted? I pointed out these were basic FB security options he himself could follow! :-D

Privacy settings are very important, especially when it comes to children.

Very true Madge!

Joy, I couldn't figure out why our cat Spike's food was going down so quickly and empty packets appearing in the garden, until I saw another cat sneaking into the house and carrying them away down the path. He's now with me all the time. I have to put all the packets in an old metal bread bin, if I forget and leave them in the box like I did the other night, he tears through the box and helps himself and I'll find 2 or 3 packets torn open and eaten when I come down in the morning.

I've always been more of a dog person Joy, but it's not me making the decisions lol, what can you do when a hungry cat ( or 2) turns up and looks at you with sad eyes? They seem to pass on the memo to all the other cats in the area... I've had to discourage 2 more who turn up and try to get in if the door's open ( they are well fed and obviously well looked after...just chancers).

Yup! or rather they have collected me...I don't go looking for them, they just turn up for food and a warm bed and to worry me when they have been in fights and have a chunk bitten out of them :-0

I don't do a lot on FB, just genealogy and family contacts and add the occasional photo of plants or cats lol ( I have become, unwillingly, the local 'mad cat lady'...who is mad me or the cats is debateable!).

I try and avoid politics, had enough of that lol.
