Ok...so we all have sites that we tend to hit almost everyday...for most of us WCN is one of them...but what are your other 'favorites' the ones you can't wait to check each morning...or when you get home from work...a favorite site for news...a blog...an online gossip column...a joke of the day site...whatever. Who knows we all may discover (or rediscover) a new favorite to add to our lists.

I've never done a myspace page...but I have lots of friends who have one...it's likely to be my next addiction...lol.
I like yahoo's similar version the 360 page...you can use the same username as you do on Yahoo mail, IM whatever...and build a page like myspace.
My biggest current addiction is probably 43things.com it's a goal setting website and it's pretty cool

I have a blog I just started, so I'm pretty addicted to that now.
I also do several crossword puzzles a day: Courier, LA Times, USAToday, Houston Chronicle, Chicago Sun-Times, and Merriam Webster. (Yeah, I'm a nerd. Deal with it.....:cool:)
Also, of course, ESPN, and FoxSports.
I had a friend send me an invite to MySpace, but I'm not totally sure I've figured it out.

facebook.com issimilar to myspace, but it is affiliated with schools so you can connect with friends that have moved away. - very addicting

It's a great way to stay motivated to do something...and it's pretty satisfying to check on off and have it move to your 'things I've done' column. You can even ask for help from people who have set the same goal and have marked it done...for advice or whatever. One of my goals I got (and later accomplished) from something someone said they did every now and then on this site once...maybe if you stumble across my list on there you'll figure out which one;) I'm WildcatGirl on that site too.

I love your quote Capcat...really makes a good point...it's so much easier to enjoy life if you aren't carrying your past around with you.

I believe it's a challenge to live inthe moment.The quotealso helps me remember tolet goofthingsthat clutterlife and to ,as "flylady" says, pass on the blessings. That is a site I used to visit (flylady.com). It'sa pretty good one.

There are 3 current wildcats on myspace.com. Rekalin, Ravi and Brandon all have profiles there.

I'm not even going to any of the Websites you ladies suggested. My hubby is already threatening to fire me at the office if I spend any time other than lunch time on WCN. :( On the other hand that might be a good thing. ;):D

Stay away from those websites, Gillia. They represent the road to perdition!
I went to the players myspace pages, I really do forget how young these kids are. Younger than 3 of my own...
they all seem to have many female friends , good looking women, sporting mascara and cleavage.Especially Rekalin, probably due to his west coast orientation.:cool:

I tried to register there using my UK alumni email address (me@uk-alumni.org) but it wouldn't take and its the only email address that I have that is affliated with the University of Kentucky. Were you able to register there?
