Where do YOU go?

from JoeUser Forums

So now it's your turn! What are some of your favorite bookmarks?

There actually aren't too many sites I visit regularly. Google and here are probably the only two sites I visit on a daily basis.

Sometimes for news I'll check out news.yahoo.com or foxnews but probably not even on a weekly basis.

The Internet Movie Database is a reference I use several times a week.

And the local library pages to keep the 40 or so books I have out at any given time freshly renewed. But no-one is interested in that.

Most of the time I just use the Internet as a reference to look specific things up. Going back to the same places again and again just isn't something I do.

Hmm, let's see what's on the eclectic list that is my boomark folder....


Death Row homepage Link  Satisfies my morbid curiosity...also gives me a good insight into the depravity of human nature.


Fly Lady Link This got me on the road to de-cluttering my house and life, and I go back every once in a while to see what's new....


Uniformed Code of Military Justice Link My husband is an AF cop, and I used to work over at the legal office...this resource was and is really helpful.


IP address locator Link Just for fun...


Backwoods home Link We havea  dream of owning a homestead when dave retires, and this site is a good resource for all things primitive and homestead-y.


Get Fuzzy Link  My favorite comice strip....I want a Bucky Katt doll for Christmas!

Ahh, Google. For news, shopping, and all the information you could possibly need. And mail, if you're lucky. Yes, I love google too.

Of course, the problem I have with the sidebars is that I have switched mostly to forum-based browsing here at JU, so I hardly ever see them in the first place. Plus, if I want to get to my own sidebar, that means I have to first click to my own JU homepage and then wait for the darn thing to load. So it's nice for showing off things I like, but not for actually being used by me.

Illwillpress.com--yes, Foamy the squirrel! What an obnoxiously cool little critter. I just wish he was a tiny bit easier to understand. Of course that's part of his charm.
I'll have to take a look at factcheck.org, sounds interesting.
Probably the main reason I didn't mention eBay is that like Google, everybody already knows about it.
The IP Address locator and the FlyLady thing both look cool too.

Thanks, everybody! New sites to look at. Yay!

By the way, out of the links I posted, Red Meat and the Red Meat Construction Set are probably the most amusingly twisted and disturbingly fun. Go see for yourselves if you haven't already.
