As I was thinking of what links to add to my blog site, I obviously started thinking about my favorite websites. Although I don't spend a lot of time at these websites I do frequent them often. Let me get on with the list:
(in no particular order)
1. www.howstuffworks.com I've always been fascinated with how things work, I remember being young always taking apart different things to see if I could figure out how they worked, if only they had this site when I was a kid, actually a site called howtoputthingsbacktogether.com would have been helpful also. Anyways this is a fun site for the curious type and you can find out anything from how those amazing pop-up turkey timers know when the bird is done to how the new 20 dollar bill works... great fun!
2. www.craigslist.com This is a new one I recently have been enjoying, if you like eBay you might like craigslist. This site is like a huge local classified ad that is free to post your things for sale or things you want to buy. I like it because you can find great bargains on things in your local area (no shipping and handling) there is even a "free stuff" section which is always good to look at since we all know some people's junk is another's treasure. I haven't bought anything off of here or sold anything here yet, but I've seriously thought about it, great fun for all you bargain shoppers (Momma K). Note: this might not be as good of site in smaller cities, but it's great in larger communities and it's getting more popular so you small town folk check it often so you don't miss out on that vintage egg spatula you've been searching for.
3. www.myspace.com This is one I hate to admit but it is one I use often. I don't use it to meet new people like a lot of folks do, but rather to find old friends, you can look at your schools you've graduated from to find you ol' high school buddies, or I've actually found a lot of my mission companions and friends as well as some good music (Dorian-for those out of the loop Dorian is my brother in law's band) There is 88,927,657 (as of right now) people that have profiles on myspace so there's a good chance you will know someone (although for those more experienced in life this site is mainly popular with the younger generation, but you won't be able to say you don't know anyone cause have my own space on there...embarrasing I know.
4. www.snopes.com Have you ever heard a story but aren't sure if it is true, or seen a picture online and wonder if it's real...enter snopes.com this is a site that attempts to give accurate information about rumors and urban legends. Although it doesn't answer all the unknowns like is it true that all window covering specialist don't have window coverings in their own place of residence? (haha Just kidding Momma K, I'm a window washer with dirty windows too) but it does help you get your facts straight before telling the "story of the week" at the water cooler on Monday morning.
5. www.mybodycomp.com This website is a great tool to those of you who are trying like myself to get more fit or less fat. I think Aunt Susie introduced us to this website if I remember correctly. This site keeps track of your body measurements as you progress then calculates things like body fat % and so forth and allows you to compare "before and after" measurements.
6. http://maps.google.com This site works like mapquest, although I like mapquest for directions better, but the thing I most enjoy about this site is the satellite maps ( or satellite photos rather) of any address you put in. I can also use this with my GPS unit to publish where I have been onto a satellite photo, or regular map. Great fun, it makes you feel like a secret agent spy, although the satellite maps won't allow you to get that close and unfortunately aren't real time.
Well those are some of the websites I enjoy and often visit. Obviously these don't include this website to check everyone's blog, google to find whatever, ebay to find whatever, my email or www.ragingbullpaintball.com (my brother just opened a paintball field in Sheridan WY so I check to see how things are going quite often) which I visit more often than these others but they are not necessarily my favorites. So what are your favorites? Maybe one of yours will become one of mine and vice versa, happy surfing.

Tom, I'm dying to find out how the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser really works. So I looked on your recommended website, how stuff works. It doesn't say anything about it. Do you know how they work?
MR. CLEAN MAGIC ERASER is made by using a variety of chemicals. It contains several kinds of alcohols, glycerine, fatty acids, methyl esters, serfose and tertiary amines.
The tertiary amines (ammonium salts), Sefose (fatty acids, iodine and peroxide), Methyl Esters (bromo carboxific acids) fatty acids, glycerine and alcohols are blended with just the right proportions to create a cleaning solution that doesn’t require much moisture, but holds together long enough to produce a thorough and complete cleaning AND slowly disintegrates without leaving a mess.
Unfortunately, the mixture of these chemicals makes the eraser not fit for every kind of surface. It can actually scratch or remove the paint on certain kinds of finishes.
This is what I could find on how it works this isn't my explanation though, my explanation was Black Magic but I guess that's not correct at least according to the above explanation. Good question though we should definatly submit it to howstuffworks.com.
