Your Favorite Website...

[kinx]

Post your favorite website, other than Pixies. This is a site that you visit and USE every day.

RULES

No affiliate links. No link that you or someone else will gain from being visiting. No stores. No auctions.
List USEFUL resources that you want others to know about.
If this thread gets full of junk, I'm sure the moderators will delete it. So, keep it cool, and let's share some information.

Just list one per response, and tell why you like it. You can always post another favorite later.

[FallenAngel5]

I don't know about USEFUL... but I visit both
Homestar Runner (http://www.homestarrunner.com) and ilovebacon (http://www.ilovebacon.com) every day. They're useful for providing amusement, though. :)

Edit: oops... I posted more than one...

[kinx]

www.google.com

Google is my current favorite search engine, mainly because it doesn't seem as cluttered as the others. It also seems to be the most accurate.

Also, it's how I found Pixies last year.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

<---uses google all of the time.


One of the sites I use the most, for work and otherwise, is www.anywho.com. You can look up in the white or yellow pages, as well as doing a reverse lookup.

[kinx]

That AnyWho looks pretty cool, IAKG. I've finally found myself! :D

[osuche]

www.fitday.com

It is a site where you can monitor your calories, exercise, and report whether you're reaching all of your RDA values on nutrients. Also can track your weight. It's password-protected and anonymous.

Nikki, you might also find it useful -- this is part of how I lost 50 pounds (and I am back on it since I've gained 10 back).

The site is FREE for all those interested.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

:) kinx, I hope that's a good thing.

One of the best things I like about anywho is the ability to search businesses by category. So, if you're in a different city and want to find all the Thai restaurants around, it can find them for you.

Another website I frequent is www.crimelibrary.com. That should scare 'ya. ;)

[Lilith]

damn now I am spending the day looking up old lovers on anywho :p

[LixyChick]

I do a weekly coolsavings.com check to get coupons for grocery shopping.

[LixyChick]

Mr Lixy loves woodworking (waits for all the insinuating laughter to subside :D ) and visits many carpentry sites. His fave is WoodworkersWorkshop.com because they have lots of free advice, ideas, patterns, etc.!

I went looking for a way to serve up yummy dishes for Grumble's visit (he's on a no salt diet and is a diabetic) and I found a site where I read all the info and compared it to Ian's allowables and I think I've struck on a way for him to have chocolate! I read all the info I could gather from this site and then I ordered a sample package of several bars. I figure it will have nutrition info on the label and I can show Ian the site when he gets here...but from all I read there, this could be the answer for some folks who cannot allow themselves the sweet bliss of the candy of the devil! The site is lowcarbchocolates.com/diabetes.php and if Grumble reads all that I have discovered and still can't have the treat...well, hubby has some new chocolates to sample! Hey! Can't hurt to try!

BTW...There are many sites out there for diabetic menus. I found some yummy things!

[kinx]

NoNags (http://www.nonags.com/nonags/index.html)

One of my favorite freeware sites with no spyware, adware, etc. All of the programs are free with no nagging registration reminders, thus, the name NoNags.

[osuche]

:D :D

Glad you like it, Nikki. I'm always here for support -- been there, and doing that! ;)

[IAKaraokeGirl]

I usually check out www.weather.com every morning to get the right wardrobe picked out. :D For more intense weather, though, I'll check out www.noaa.gov or www.intellicast.com. In the winter, when the roads are iffy, I'll go to http://www.iowaroadconditions.org. It is AWESOME and never fails to steer me in the right direction.

[Gilly]

Ok, who else is addicted to the "popcap" yahoo games?

Well, I was shown this site a few months ago, and DAYUM!


Addicting Pointless, yet none the less entertaining, Games (http://www.addictinggames.com/)

I absolutely love that site. When I found it, I seriously spent 5 days reading every single story I could, then looking up related sites on the web.


I have such morbid curiosity. Then I get hooked on the story, and feel so bad for the victim, but at the same time, I just have to keep reading. It's so weird to explain, I guess.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Oh, no--for me (and kleclere if he ever gets a shot at this computer) it's this: http://zone.msn.com/en/spades/rooms_computer.htm

I understand completely. I took a sociology class as a junior in college entitled "Murder in America." It was *the* coolest thing.

Too bad you don't live closer--I'd share my own library of true crime books with you. ;) :) :p

[Gilly]

True crimes are fascinating to try and understand. I just can't quite grasp why these people will do what they do. It's so outside the scope of my thinking, that it amazes me that these things did happen, and that these people really did them. I mean, I'm not niave or anything, I realize these things happen. Heck, when I was in the hospital delivering my oldest, a kid 2 years back on me in high school did something that pretty much shocked the state, and half the country.

It's just... so hard to grasp their minds, and when I get fascinated with something, or someone, I usually try to learn all I can about it.

[campingboy]

I use this all the time. Canada is 1/2 metric. This has resulted in me being half confused most of the time.

WOW! What a fantastic companion site to Pixies.. Love those lady pics (Of course, they don't hold a candle to the babes here, but still very hot!)

[kinx]

Internet Movie DataBase (http://imdb.com/) is probably the ultimate source for movie/film information... and I LOVE MOVIES!!

I was gonna intro this on Mr. Lixy's behalf, but I wasn't sure if it was in the "allowables". He loves this site, Irish! And...when he first intro'd me to Pixies, wifelovers was one of the sites he showed me that he had been perusing (along with Pixies). Fate kept me here...but hubby still wanders the net!

[Belial]

www.rathergood.com (http://www.rathergood.com/)
I especially like the Tales Of The Blode series and Mr. Stabby :D

[Irish]

Lixy---I have had that site,entered on my "favorites"for a couple of years.As I said,some entries are good & some are uninteresting
Ask Mr. Lixy.Over time,you get to have certain favorite posters,as
with pixies.All are interesting,but some more than others. Irish

[nikanik]

Even though I dont drink every day this site is fun to just to find a new drink..http://www.idrink.com/indexnew.htm Its also fun for a cocktail party get alot of drinks and have the cards so everyone can mix their own. they even have non alky drinks too

[dicksbro]

Hotmail is usually my first stop after bringing up my computer each day. (... and I usually poke my head in again a couple of more times during the day.)

It all your fault *LOL*

I'm addicted to this site.......some of these crimes are more than scary....it is sooo hard to comprehend that humans can do such things to other humans

I was JUST going to put this one., I am addicted to this website. I find myself watching something, thinking "Who the hell is that bloke/woman" and, sure enough, on there I go, tap in the movie, click on the name... and Way-Hey! No sleepless nights trying to remember names for me!

[kinx]

glad you liked that one, Englishrose....

Another good movie site is THE NUMBERS (http://the-numbers.com/) which has a lot of international box office results, but plenty of movie news, too.

[Summer]

Sorry I don't visit many sites, but you can catch me at eBay all the time. It's my living, so to speak!

[IAKaraokeGirl]

http://www.judicial.state.ia.us/online_records/online_search/


That is one I use all the time for work. It's a free, online search of court records in the state of Iowa. I'm sure that other states have something similar, too. When I first started working here, in order to do a search like that you had to go to the courthouse and log on (with difficulty, I might add) to the system and search from there. Now you can do it from any computer with internet access.

(And, yep, my two speeding tickets from a few years ago are there.) :rolleyes:

[kinx]

Of course, twice a week, I say a little prayer and visit The PowerBall Page (http://www.powerball.com/)


http://www.powerball.com/

[Mae]

I came across a different kind of website when I was doing some research a few months ago. It's called findagrave.com. A little different.

Wow. That is pretty cool, and proves just what an endless source of information the internet provides

[kinx]

The Weather Underground is my choice for weather. There's always a popup box, but I seem to be able to get to the actually forecast quicker than the Weather Channel site.

One of my favorites, too, e-r! I switched to a DSL connection and now I can see the movie trailers quickly and I LOVE MOVIE TRAILERS. They really build your anticipation for upcoming movies.

I love the feeling of viewing one, then saying, "WOW! I've got to see THAT movie!!!"





P.S.: This is my 800th post!

[darogle]

I usually hit up www.ebaumsworld.com at least once a day. It's full of funny videos, pictures, ect. Is a good time waster. LOL

[darogle]

Here's a cool site for all those that like digital photography. It's a forum that has some awesome pictures, advice, and reviews.

If you're running Win2K, XP, or Mac OS X, several of these are now available from within iTunes, as well as certain music videos. They're on the iTunes Music Store link (which is still US only, sorry guys).

I read my mail sites every day (but those are web based, it counts), and MacSurfer (which does cover the general IT industry, if you scroll down far enough ;) ).

[cbass1976]

i'm a sports junkie............espn.com

[davidlovesit]

When my kids were younger, one of my favorites was www.kids-in-mind.com. I found it pretty useful going in what movies were okay for them to see.

[davidlovesit]

Of course now that the kids are older, I find I can't stay away from this place and www.webcamnow.com. I'm hooked.

I thought this might be a good chance for all you Pixie chicks to show the rest of the world your stuff. This series just started today.

[imaginewithme]

I know now without a doubt..........PIXIES!

[bare4you]

I figured out they took Pixies off line just to prove to all of us that our favorite site is here! How many of us were actually going through withdrawls the past couple of days????? There are many web sites but only one Pixies! Thanks again for letting us get our daily fix!!!!!!!!!!

[storyteller]

I wondered what had happened with pixies, thought I was the only one not being able to get into pixies. I was going through withdrawal lol and you are right...there is only one pixies ...thank god lol

[jseal]

Bah! The others are mere imitations.

[dicksbro]

Post your favorite website, other than Pixies.

After two days without Pixies, there's no question ... there is no other site than Pixies-Place. Only short stops that really don't matter much.

[alspals69]

total agreement with you guys

[kinx]

Here's a new fave, my Christmas greeting to all the guys here at pixies.

http://ratplanet.net/xmas.html

[kinx]

Okay...this one's been quiet for a while....

How about good ol' google (www.google.com) ? It's probably my favorite search engine.
Not a lot of clutter, results are fast.

I've gotten into sweepstakes sites lately. I won $1000 in a Taco Bell game on Monday. I like the idea of winning without gambling.

http://slickdeals.net (have to go to contests parts of the forum)

http://ratplanet.110mb.com

http://www.online-sweepstakes.com/

http://www.sweepstakestoday.com

All are free, but have paid "premium" memberships (not necessary!). If anyone wants my "wins" list PM. I won't post it here. The "ratplanet" link above is for sweepstakesadvantage.com, but joining through that one gives you a shot at an Amazon gift certificate.

Enjoy.
