    Pinterest Software

    Hi everybody, Can anyone recommend Windows software which would enable me to create pins/pin-boards like Pinterest but works offline? I do not want to set up an online account, I just want to be able to organise my thoughts, ideas and likes on my computer. Thank you

    Please tell me what you think..Thanks so much.

I had a tight circle of friends, however i always preferred to be alone or very small groups. Smells, especially not pleasant ones always were too much. If i was trying to...
