I haven't been sleeping much lately, my husband is somewhere on the other side of the world and I haven't spoken to him or received an email from him all month!
Anyway, I was just doing some surfing and I thought I'd ask my FRiends for some of their favorite web sites (other than FR of course) so that I can get some new surfing ideas.
So what are your favorite web sites that you regularly visit or have found recently?
My top ten can't miss sites are: 1) FR (of course) 2) Weather.com (Don't know why) 3) ebay.com (what's for sale out there?) 4) perezhilton.com (trashy gossip) 5) powerlineblog 6) riehlworldview 7) fox.com (for 24 spoilers, when the show was actually on!) 8) amazon.com (to see what's new in books) 9) verabradley.com (check out the new patterns/styles) 10)dailylit.com (really cool site which emails installments of books for free (or cheaply)
So turn me on to some cool new sites to amuse me during my period of insomnia!!
Thanks! GG
Is he deployed? I'm sure he wants to contact you!

... oh, and Track Forum is fave of mine.
Might ask, what is your interests? There are forums to participate in for everyones interests.
If he is deployed, you should be hearing from him because now any base/firebase is satellite connected within 3 days.
Here are a few of those I frequent:

And for a fun ride, try:
http://maps.google.com/
and check out the ‘street view’ feature.
This should keep you busy :-)
It's icanhascheezburger.com, and it's just pages and pages of funny cat pictures with silly captions. I love it! It's also linked to a similar page for dogs, as well as politics and office charts based on popular music. All a complete waste of time, and very fun.
Also dlisted.com, like perez hilton, trash talk about celebrities. Lots of "guess whose cellulite this is" sort of junk. Hey, you said insomnia. I wouldn't recommend this for anything less urgent.
Yes, I know where he is and I’m sure he’s having a great time but it’s so weird not to be able to communicate with him at all. He’ll be back to relative civilization soon—hopefully this weekend!
Oh, and for great pics, go here:

Other favorites include The Internet Movie Database and recently The Internet Movie Script Database.
Spaceflightnow is another fav, especially the Mission Status Center when a countdown is in progress.
Dictionary.com is a good reference service.
Let's not forget the National Weather Service radar maps. Yes, there are other sites you can use, but since I'm paying for it, I might as well use it! :)
The Corner and Campaign Spot, over at National Review Online.
Jake Tapper’s blog.
Orangette.blogspot.com (food blog)
Hogonice.com

I visit WWW.pancanal.com and watch the ships go through the canal.
Lots of local weather sites. I found them by going to the local emergency operations web site, and following the links to see what they had.
