Being an old fuddy-duddy that embraced social networking in the late 90’s and was over it by the early 00’s, the ‘new-fangled’ fad that is social networking has me perplexed.

And the place where it is which it was disgusted with is the smell that and is terrible!

Next week: Monkeys and Shakespeare, who’d have thought?
