What are your favorite websites?

[GatorGirl]

I haven't been sleeping much lately, my husband is somewhere on the other side of the world and I haven't spoken to him or received an email from him all month!

Anyway, I was just doing some surfing and I thought I'd ask my FRiends for some of their favorite web sites (other than FR of course) so that I can get some new surfing ideas.

So what are your favorite web sites that you regularly visit or have found recently?

My top ten can't miss sites are: 1) FR (of course) 2) Weather.com (Don't know why) 3) ebay.com (what's for sale out there?) 4) perezhilton.com (trashy gossip) 5) powerlineblog 6) riehlworldview 7) fox.com (for 24 spoilers, when the show was actually on!) 8) amazon.com (to see what's new in books) 9) verabradley.com (check out the new patterns/styles) 10)dailylit.com (really cool site which emails installments of books for free (or cheaply)

So turn me on to some cool new sites to amuse me during my period of insomnia!!

Thanks! GG

Is he deployed? I'm sure he wants to contact you!

Bono is a good guy. Liberal like any entertainer, but he has a good grasp on Christian doctrine. I'm glad he does what he does. (Though I don't know what his stand on abortion is.)

... oh, and Track Forum is fave of mine.

[kbennkc]

Coast to Coast AM
The official string theory web site
Mufon
Stars and Stripes
Human Space Flight HSF sightings
Good luck and God Bless you and your Husband

[Concho]

Might ask, what is your interests? There are forums to participate in for everyones interests.

If he is deployed, you should be hearing from him because now any base/firebase is satellite connected within 3 days.

And for a fun ride, try:

and check out the ‘street view’ feature.

This should keep you busy :-)

It's icanhascheezburger.com, and it's just pages and pages of funny cat pictures with silly captions. I love it! It's also linked to a similar page for dogs, as well as politics and office charts based on popular music. All a complete waste of time, and very fun.

Also dlisted.com, like perez hilton, trash talk about celebrities. Lots of "guess whose cellulite this is" sort of junk. Hey, you said insomnia. I wouldn't recommend this for anything less urgent.

[GatorGirl]

Yes, I know where he is and I’m sure he’s having a great time but it’s so weird not to be able to communicate with him at all. He’ll be back to relative civilization soon—hopefully this weekend!

Youtube.com

[NonValueAdded]

No question FR is numero uno

Other favorites include The Internet Movie Database and recently The Internet Movie Script Database.

Spaceflightnow is another fav, especially the Mission Status Center when a countdown is in progress.

Dictionary.com is a good reference service.

Let's not forget the National Weather Service radar maps. Yes, there are other sites you can use, but since I'm paying for it, I might as well use it! :)

[JRochelle]

The Corner and Campaign Spot, over at National Review Online.

Jake Tapper’s blog.

Orangette.blogspot.com (food blog)

Hogonice.com

IMAO.com

[MarkL]

For me, any of the many LolCats sites... But my #1 site would have to be YouTube (after FR). I can spend HOURS there, and wonder where the time went. Old TV show clips, comediennes, music videos, concert videos, original performances. I've found myself on YouTube for more than 6 hours non-stop more than once, and didn't realize how long I had been on. Sort of a "stream of consciousness" sort of thing, where one link will lead to another.

[Lokibob]

I visit WWW.pancanal.com and watch the ships go through the canal.

Lots of local weather sites. I found them by going to the local emergency operations web site, and following the links to see what they had.

[kbennkc]

I just down loaded the free google earth . Looks kinda fun .

[ellery]

Thank you for your husband’s service and your own, FRiend!

Here’s where I spend lots of non-FR time:

-www.fark.com
-www.televisionwithoutpity.com (funny recaps and discussion of various TV shows)
-www.rottentomatoes.com (movie/entertainment reviews)
-www.realclearpolitics.com
-www.slate.com

[GatorGirl]

Thanks everyone!
Love Google Earth I can spend tons of time there, and I often check out my husband’s temporary (this month) locale but haven’t caught a glimpse of him yet!

I appreciate everyone’s suggestions and will check them out. Pardon the lack of individual responses....

[HeartlandOfAmerica]

lol. It's not MY favorites. More like EVERYBODY'S favorites. When I'm bored with the web I take a trip over to Diigo's Hot Bookmarks and find THOUSANDS of peoples bookmarks to some of the most interesting things (and trash (How to cure Erectile Dysfunction) that you'll ever see. Real hodge-podge but I find myself being sucked in hour after hour.

Hope it don't take downloading diigo, prolly not though.

have fun ;)

[ntnychik]

I like checking out all the conservative columnists and cartoons at jewishworldreview.com.

To chill out, I like to put all my favorite old tunes into searches on youtube.com and watch the live performances. I also look up my favorite dance routines on “So You Think You Can Dance” and “Dancing with the Stars.” If you haven’t seen it, look for the ventriloquist winner on last year’s “America’s Got Talent”.

[Califreak]

Free Republic is #1, natch!

Savage, Above Top Secret, Hillbilly Housewife, GardenWeb,
People’s Cube,The New American, The Onion, Bible Gateway, Duane Sheriff Ministries, Your Arms To Israel,The Musings of Claire Wolfe, FlyLady...

So many favorites, so little time!

[wastedyears]

Probably Free Republic and Iron Maiden’s website.

Oh, and Michael Bay’s website too.

[La Enchiladita]

YouTuber here also. I’m making playlists from my Favorites and inflict them on whoever I can. I subscribe to a few channels... some amazing stuff on there. Enjoy the serendipity of it and I just plain love music.

[Ben Reyes]

slacker.com

Internet radio. All the music and artists you can think of.

[Clemenza]

Aside from FR:

Forgottenny.com.

Facebook.com (hated it at first, now it is an addiction).

[ntnychik]

No cable here, believe it or not. Youtube is my first experience with music video. Tonight I tried out some songs for my Mother-Son dance at my son’s wedding.

[TNdandelion]

I like FR, LGF, Powerline and for chatty stuff stuff, there’s webegtodiffer.com Lots of libs there but they talk about everything and have different forums.

[La Enchiladita]

What are some of the titles you looked at?
Nice topic... wedding soon?

Jeez, my wide-bodied cat would literally shred me if I tried to put her in a “carry case” like that.

[redhead]

1. Free Republic, my default homepage. Has been since before I registered in 2/2000. My main newspaper, and window on the world.

2. NOAA Weather for my area. (Disappointing, though. Sheesh. I want some global warming!)

3. Eternity Road,"by Fran Porretto. Awesome political philosphy by a genuine rocket scientist.

4. Sigmund, Carl, and Alfred. Psychology and observations. A wise man.

5. NewsBusters. Love it! Especially the weekly video, New Busted.

6. Michelle Malkin. What a little fireracker. She's awesome.

7. American Thinker. Absolutely excellent site loaded with news and commentary.

9. New Media JournalA good place for finding interesting opinions and observations.

10. Half-Baked Sourdough. My own blog. Drop by and say "Hi!"

Hope that you hear from your hubby soon. Thanks for your family’s sacrifice.

We’re a active duty family as well, but know where our loved one is.

Prayers that he stays safe!

[GatorGirl]

Bless you! I know where he is, he just doesn’t have access to communication technology right now. I know he’s fine, it’s just weird not to have any way to talk or write.

I’m spoiled I guess, even during the Gulf War it was more difficult to stay in touch. I just think of my grandparents during WWII when Grandpa was doing bombing missions over North Africa and Grandma had to wait for the mail to come!!! I don’t have it so bad!!

We’ll be back together soon for a brief period until he actually deploys.

Thanks again to you and EVERYONE! I’ll check out the sites.
