It’s a snow day. I’m looking for amusement however banal. So what web sites do you have up right now? I have A&E Hoarders video, A preview of the coupons that will be in the Sunday paper this year, an article about Yahweh smiting the Philistines with hemorrhoids (and them making amends to Him by returning the Ark with five golden hemorrhoids and five golden mice in it), Alton Brown’s scones recipe, Knitty’s mitten tutorial, and the registration page for the school science fair. Eclectic enough for ya? What are you guys surfing today? ---

GMail, Facebook, the IMHO forum, and this thread. I don’t keep a lot of tabs open unless I’ve got a lot of SDMB threads open, or at a site like TVTropes. ---

For me it’s often a reminder or placeholder. I need to remember to talk about the science fair with Chloe, so that tab is up. Or I want to check back in with something again and again as the day goes on. So Facebook and Calorie King are up this morning. And now Giraffe Boards, which I had totally forgotten about! ---

Gmail (mod account), SDMB (this thread), Twitter, Facebook (specifically a scrabble game I just took a move in), [a cool link I started an OP in MPSIMS about](http://bit.ly/gFzvS6), SEPTA (Philly mass transit, checking train schedules), local indie movie theater (day off, I was checking times for a matinee I want to see, thus SEPTA – I don’t know the weekday non-rush-hour schedule by heart). The first four are always open on this (home) machine, I tend to close other tabs before I log off. ---

“Straight Dope Message Board - Reply to Topic” “Christmas at the Front - Veterans Affairs Canada” “DEA Diversion Control - Information and Legal Resources” The first is obvious, the second is still open from when I was in Facebook and looked at a link posted by a vet, and the third is from poking around as a result of reading the post about hard and soft drugs. ---
