Websites About Cats

2008-08-12T16:29:00.006-04:00

Before I begin, I must give a disclaimer. I am severly allergic to cats so anything that shows cats in an amusing way is even more hysterical to me.

The first site is LOLCATS . I first came across these during a WOOT-OFF and thought they were so funny. Then I learned they had their own site with over 4700 pictures of cats with misspelled, ungrammatical text to go along with it.

This one is a classic picture:

Here's another funny one:

The second site is STUFF ON MY CAT . This one has been around for a while but it's still funny. They even have their pictures in books. I've seen them in the bookstores when I'm supposed to be working.

Here's a few:

If anyone has pictures of their cats doing something stupid, email them to me and I'll post them here. You can never get enough of cats being stupid.

Squidoo

2008-08-06T15:44:00.002-04:00

So yesterday, I'm kicking around the 'net, trying to work but not really motivated and I run across "Squidoo". Squidoo is a very unusual site. You create what they call a "lens" (you can create many lenses). It focuses in on things you like, or are an expert at.

I couldn't resist, I created a lens. You can see it here. http://www.squidoo.com/myfunthings

Mine is called Fun and Interesting Things. I used work from home as a keyword too so there will be ads for that there too. You can link to my blogs, see my ebay items that I'm selling, watch a youtube video, take a poll, even get a free trial of Netflix. And, of course, since I'm such a weather geek, there's weather there too.

If you check it out, let me know what you think. I'm interested in your comments.

WeatherBug

2008-08-04T07:42:00.002-04:00

OK, now that summer is in full swing, I'm hooked on WeatherBug. I have the temperature in my tray all the time and one little click brings it up. I get the temperature, down to .1 degree, wind speed, wind direction, gusts, amount of rain. If I click more, I can see monthly totals.

The feature I like the best is the radar. Once I see a dark cloud outside, I'm checking for thunderstorms. I watch as the red moves toward me only to veer away at the last second. It happened again last night. I love to put the radar in motion and watch the storms move across the screen.

It should be known that I am a weather junkie and have been since about the fifth grade. Summer is the most active time for radar watching. Now, if we only had a hurricane to track. I can dream, can't I?

The Stephanie Plum series of Books

2008-07-29T07:52:00.002-04:00

I have to admit, I'm more than hooked. I finished the latest one, Fearless Fourteen, in about a day. Although, and I hope I'm not giving anything away, she drives the same car in the whole book.

There are 17 Plum stories, books 1 through 14 and 3 inbetween the numbers books. The inbetween books are usually a little shorter and involve a holiday and a little holiday magic. A new inbetween book is due out in January of 2009.

The books center around Stephanie Plum, a bounty hunter from New Jersey. There are so many other characters that reappear throughout the books. Luckily, her grandmother appears in them all because she is so funny. Her mother, a closet drinker, just wants Stephanie to settle down and get a job in the button factory.

Now I have to wait until January to get my next fix. C'mon, can't be that far away!

ChaCha

2008-07-28T15:01:00.002-04:00

Have you tried ChaCha yet? You give them a question and you get an answer texted right to your phone. You can either call in a question at 1-800-2CHACHA or text a question to 242242. It's easy, painless and best of all, FREE. OK, if you have to pay for text messages, your provider will charge you but ChaCha charges nothing.

It's real people answering your questions. If you suddenly get a craving for Mexican food, call ChaCha and ask where the closest Mexican restaurant is. If you are having a disagreement with friends over who the 22nd president was, ask ChaCha. The possibilities are endless.

Give it a try, you'll be hooked (like I am).

ListAfterList.com

2007-11-19T15:53:00.000-05:00

I'm totally hooked on this website. It's called ListAfterList.com. Click HERE to get there. Be warned, you may never leave. It's free to join (of course it is or you wouldn't find me there). Someone has listed a list of just about everything. Feel free to add your own lists. I happen to get lost reading everyone else's list I'm still trying to get around to listing something myself. There's even a list of Winona Ryder's stolen goods (with prices). OK, now $227 for 7 pairs of socks! I might have stolen them too.

Seriously, you have to check it out. If you do, comment back and let me know what you think. Let me know if you posted a list and I'll check it out.

Welcome to my new blog

2007-11-09T09:24:00.000-05:00

Many of you may have read my other blog "Things That Bug Me". This blog is almost the opposite of that one. Here I will post about things that interest me. It probably won't be as funny as the other one but it will be, hopefully, more informative.

If you like what you see, leave a comment. Heck, leave a comment if you don't like what you see. Those will probably be more interesting anyway. If you really like what you see, on either blog, be sure and tell a friend. That way I don't feel like I'm talking to myself.
