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

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. ---
