Fun Monday # 49

Ann is our hostess this week and she has given us an interesting assignment she says....

"I want to hear about a web site and not just about any old web site. I want to hear about a web site that's changed your life. A web site that you can't live without. A web site whose inventor you'd like to see win a McArthur Genius Grant.

Maybe you want to sing the praises of a dating web site for helping you meet your spouse. Maybe the only thing getting you through the dark days of winter is an Internet comic. No story is too big, no story is too small - I want to hear it all on Monday".

When I read this I was immediately worried because I knew this would turn out to be a very lame post for me. The sites that I can't live without are the blogs that I avidly read every day. I comment on some, lurk on many and feel disappointed when you have nothing to say. I eat breakfast with you, I join you for coffee, afternoon tea (well more coffee actually) and a nightcap! Oh and before you wonder I do manage to squeeze a few other things in during the day. Since I started blogging in September 2006 quite a lot of the original bloggers I followed have decided to take a break or give up, and some have even come back or post less often! I've said many times that I started blogging to stay in touch with my daughters Sam and Beccy who most of you will know anyway, and even they no longer write everyday. Maybe they don't want me to know what they are getting up to!!

I tend to use the internet for gathering information~ how else could I give Embee the help he needs with his crossword if I didn't sit and 'google it'~ in fact anything I want to know Google is my first port of call so this has to be one very important web site in our family.
Take today for instance, it helped with the crossword, helped me convert pounds to euro (so that Dillon knows how much he owes for the phone bill during the week he was here [not telling you the amount!]~and before you say 'what a mean grandmother I am' you need to have read Beccy's last post. Unfortunately lessons in life are hard and best learned young {in my entire life I have never spent this much on phone calls in a week not even when I was using dial up for the internet}!! Today I've also used google to check out holidays, flight prices on both Ryanair and Aer Lingus and looked at some joke sites for a future post.
Now some of you will have gathered from my last Fun Monday post that although I no longer have a dog, I am nevertheless very fond of them and I'll leave you with a look at this site which I often browse.

What I am hoping is that after today I will find some new places to visit!!~ see you later.
