I have a list of web sites I go to every day (well weekdays at least):
Merriam Webster word of the day
Dilbert
Rose is Rose
Rueters health news on Yahoo
My horoscope on Excite *blush*

and SDMB, of course.
Also weekly: the home page for SD & Yahoo classified ads.
So, does anyone else have pages they check daily?

Twice a day, www.kittycam.com (http://www.kittycam.com) to see if I can see Kitty. My husband can't understand, he says "you have 3 cats right here at home, why do you have to look for this one?" but still I must.

I check each of these every couple of days to see what's new, otherwise almost all my time in the web is spent checking SDMB (about an hour and a half before work in the AM).

This is the only site I spend any significant time on. I check my hotmail about 2-3 times a day and usually the weather. I've found that the Weather channel's site ( www.weather.com (http://www.weather.com) is much more accurate that MSNBC's weather that's provided on the MSN website that I get when I log out of my Hotmail account.

smilingjaws: as you noticed, the new UBB version doe not require tags to www pages.
My daily stuff is not in English. I also look at a few boards that are not in English at work. That way the IS nazis don't know what I'm reading, or sending, from work.

Weather's not just a Michigan thing. When we have stormy weather here in Texas, I may check the radar screens 4 or 5 times a day.
But right now, the weather forecasts sound like a skipping record.
Sunny with a high of 103...
Sunny with a high of 103...
Sunny with a high of 103...
Sunny with a high of 103...
of course the SDMB. www.drirene.com--this (http://www.drirene.com--this) is for people who think they may be in a verbally abuse situation...very supportive
Weekly I check up on www.breakupgirl.com--I (http://www.breakupgirl.com--I) like to read the advice.

The web sites I usually visit daily are:
(bear with me, I don't know how to create links)
Hotmail (www.hotmail.com)
AP Wire (wire.ap.org)
Weather Channel (www.weather.com)
Opalcat's World Domination Headquarters (www.fathom.org/opalcat)
Of course, I try to check this board regularly, but I've been busy for the last couple of weeks, so this is the first chance I've had to be here in a while (alot of catching up to do)

I can't do links either--makes me feel old not to be able to handle the technology but that's another thread :-)
http://www.anet-chi.com/~yopark/randomthoughts/
for an hilarious send-up of All my children
drudgereport.com for newsbits
Off the drudge report I check out:
bbc
chicago sun-times
pioneerplanet.com for Dear Abby
Camile Paglia
I'm a news junkie, so besides you good people, I have to check into the AP Newswire, Salon, and the BBC News every day. If I see WWIII is going to start, I can just shut off my computer and go home!

Bunny, it must be a Michigan thing for the fascination with the weather. I go to
weather.com all the time, but I put in exotic places knowing that somewhere someone is having nicer weather than here.
