To do that, they need space, not stuff. Only then can they actually put themselves in your home and imagine the possibilities. The same principle applies in film.

Instead, they use their powerful assets to best effect: a kick that can kill a Lion or legs that can stride faster than 40mph.

I like Instagram. The learning curve is a gentle incline for those of us over 40 and the younger set, including my 11-year old niece and her friends, are up-to-speed in a matter of minutes. Even if you don’t have an eye for photography (like me), you’ll enjoy Instagram. It’s simple to follow friends and see what they’re up to. One of the greatest lures of Instagram is the absence of a bothersome algorithm that prevents you from seeing friends’ photos.
