Saturating Social Media


Mom never jumped on the Facebook bandwagon.  Misguidedly, she was convinced it was merely a passing fad.  Wow, she missed that boat.  But despite the undeniable dominance of this little corner of social media, Mom has never made herself an account.  But Mom is no stranger to "connecting" with the world using other means - my blog being one of them.  She Tweets and Vines and was Instagramming before it was even cool.  Alas, she still hasn't figured out Tumblr....

Above we see one of many experiments she has being doing trying to find the perfect Instagram framing app.  Aren't Miss Binks and I adorable?  And speaking of adorable, here are Miss Binks and I canoodling in our tent....hopefully this link works...

Ah yes, there we are, we just can't get enough of each other ;)  A bit of an explanation about that clip:  Miss Binks and I have been residing upstairs in the living room for the last few weeks.  We had air conditioner problems and unfortunately, a very shady repair company came in and charged a fortune for what really ended up being a blown fuse.  But the icing on the cake was when they left without reattaching the hose that connects the water drain to the output, resulting in water all over the basement, and in the family room where we live.  I tell ya, when Mom got home and saw that mess, she called those people and complained, but they just hung up on her.  Then Dad called back and he started speaking in what I can only describe as a completely different language - "colourful" language some people might call it - certainly words I'd never heard before.  And whoever he was talking to must have been hard of hearing because Dad sure was yelling awfully loud.  Anyway, our home insurance will be repairing the damage and us two have been relocated until said work has been completed.

Mom has finally gotten around to editing that other clip of me having a misadventure in the furnace room.  I LOVE the furnace room!  I'm not allowed in there because there is too much trouble I could get into, but every now and then, Mom or Dad might leave the door ajar and that's when I take full advantage.  So I leave you with this clip of me not listening to Mommy.....and make sure you watch to the end so you can see me giving the business to a blue pillow I found in there....
