Ah....cool.  Maybe I'll see about putting links here, as well.  I'll try to go back and create a list of the links to catch up everything at once so that we don't end up with 20 or more separate posts on this thread.  It would be nice if they would post with a thumbnail, but I don't know how to do that.

 

Thanks Don.  I'm happy to hear that. :)

This is everything that has been posted to IG already.  I'll try to keep updating this as I go.  Although, there is some consideration being given to completely getting off of social media...at least FB and IG.  

Couple of notes.  If you see dots at the bottom of the pic/video, that means there's more than one page.  If so, there should be an arrow on the right side in the middle. Clicking the arrow moves you to the next pic/vid.  Some have just one, others can have up to 10.  For sound, there should be a black button at the bottom right with a speaker icon.  It should be slashed out to start with, then when you click on it, the slash goes away and you'll get sound.  I hope this works ok.  I really don't have the time to mess with this much.
