I Think You Are Very Pintresting

Example of Pinterest board
Linda has joined an online message board called Pinterst.  Tierney, Amy and a few other girls have told her about it and it sounded interesting.  First, you have to go on a waiting list.  Then a few days later, you get an invitation to join.  They supply a bunch of different topics like cooking, sewing, exercising, fashion, photography, pets..etc... and you choose things you are interested in.  Linda picked about 8 topics.  Then like magic, all of your friends know you are on Pinterst and start following you.  In about 1/2 hour, 20 ladies from church were following her.  She has no idea how they knew she signed up, but whatever.  Then, when someone posts a recipe or Tierney post a photo of a nautical dress with a skinny leopard belt, it shows up on your bulletin board.  If you want to know how to make the blueberry pie, you click the photo and it takes you to the recipe.  It's pretty cool, but she has absolutely no idea how to post something to her board.  Plus, somehow one of her old TKD students is following her and all she posts are Harry Potter pictures that fill the top half of her board.  She can't figure out how to get the girl to un-follow her so all the Weasley photos don't show up. (Linda had to Wiki Harry Potter to find some of the characters names.  Thank you Wiki for not being blacked out.)

If you can't tell by now, Linda is not a very good electronic, Internet, TV/Movie watcher, cable-hooker-upper, tool wielding kind of woman.  She's much better in the caring, loving and hugging us department.
