What Are Some Websites You Frequent and Why?

Post by Loveabull »

One of my favorites when I'm supposed to be working is "The Dog Snobs". The joke being that they sound as pretentious as many real live dog owners, a weekly feature is "Dog toy or sex toy?"...so use caution if your co-workers or kids can see the screen. They also might want to know why you're giggling when your supposed to be doing spreadsheets. :lol:

I just found a new one today called "White Whine". He has a book out too, definitely ordering it when I get home. Excerpts-

Damnit, I hate getting into Porsches and forgetting the key slot is on the left side #facepalm

No one should ever have to wake up at 4:45am, there better be a lot of coffee waiting for me when I get to Copenhagen!

I'm sorry but I don't want to live in a city that doesn't have a Taco Bell open past 3AM.Is this America anymore?

I ate too much granola and now I have no room for my venti soy latte. I WISH I WAS KIDDING.

The site for the book called "The Evolution of Strategic Management" offers additional articles related to the book as well as interaction with the author.

It presents an opportunity to interact with the Author and its readers to explore new issues and interest for each respective reader. The book will never be outdated of forgotten with this approach.
Are there more books like this?

It could be said that I haunt my local library's online catalogue - for that matter I surf other library catalogues around the world. Ever tried the New York Public Library, London Public Library or National Library of Australia? Worth a virtual visit if you are interested in world-wide book trends.

Latest Review: "The Sins of His Grandmother" by Jeremy Francis

Post by Moe4522 »

I frequent other websites that i can make a few extra bucks on the side including
- Numerous survey sites that offer money/points for completing surveys
- Stumbleupon which is similar to Pinterest and just lets you "stumble" along web pages of whatever interests you
- Swagbucks is also a big one i frequent. Again you get points which you can cash out just by filling out surveys, watching videos, playing games, etc.

Before I found this awesome forum, I enjoyed experienceproject.com. No I'm not representing them, it's just a site where you find group titles that match something about you (like, "I love to read"), you can post a story and ppl leave comments and you can add them to your circle of friends. I came across it before my husband (fiance at the time) left for boot camp.

food related cooking sites, blogs, Art.....alternative medicine sites, Gemology sites, crafts, NYT book review ( the only part of that rag that has any credibility these days ) rest of the paper is excellent for wrapping fish, or do you have a bird cage? w/live in bird ?

back in the glory days of my hometown NYC, it was the paper of note...
today, it's become an extension of the Democratic party... :cry:

This forum mostly, but I go on a few others. Internet Archive for e-books and music, a movie forum once in a while, Facebook, not because I like it, its crap, but because my kids are on it.
