I thought it might be fun to share what Web sites we frequent so I'll begin.

I'm thinking of sites I've used this past month. Many ahve to do with Christmas shopping so I don't use them often, but have frequented them.

www.vermontcountrystore.com (bought some dress socks for diabetics) They are probably the msot boring things on their site. If you haven't been there you should visit. They have all sorts of neat old fashion products.

www.dell.com (computer for daughter)

www.apple.com (computer for son)

www.karmaloop.com (clothes for youngest son)

www.amazon.com (books)

www.jonathanbregel.com (son's blog)

I also use twitter, facebook, and linkedin, but haven't been as dilignet during the holidays.

www.audioacrobat.com

www.constantcontact.com

Where do you go while online? I'm looking for some new sites to browse. ANy good ones?

I'm going to love this thread! I bookmarked the Vermont country store. And I am looking right now at one of your son's videos. He does beautiful work. Very very impressive. I LOVE documentary films and see all of them when they have their film weeks here.

and of course, Facebook.

Dotsie, I love the Vermont Country Store link is really cool. I just saw a chenille bedspread on there and the last time I saw one of those was on my Grandmother's bed!

PJ, when we visited our friends in upstate NY we drove to Vermont one day to ride these fun scooters down a mountain during summer. We left the mountain and my friend said there was one store we had to visit before heading back. You guessed it - Vermont Country Store. I fell in love with it. Not sure if they have photos of the store on the site, but it's a definite step back in time.

EW, tropicalglen, another nostalgic site. Very cool.

Do you buy much on Ebay? I've never gotten into it, but my sister-in-law was buying things left and right for a while.

The muenchen site didn't come up for me. What's that?

PJ, chatty should see these animal blogs. She's such an animal lover.

The fig and lemon, and blog by your friend in Italy are very cool. I don't really have any blogs that I follow, other than boomer related stuff. I need to branch out a bit.

Anyone follow any neat blogs they'd like to suggest?

Dotsie, so true...Chatty and I are facebook friends so she should definitely check out the bedlam farm blog because Jon Katz is on facebook as well.

I have never been to VT. but saw it from a distance once when I was on a train. I want to go there sometime in the fall and I would love to check out that store.

I loved Vermont. Have been there twice and each time in the fall. I think I've been in that store featured in blog, Dotsie. Not sure..it's been a few years since I was last in that state.

Great stuff, Dotsie that your son has! I guess filmmakers / photographers like black backgrounds for web sites & blogs. Just wondering because from a researcher's standpoint for business references/future work referrals, it's abit of a pain to print off such pages when there's so much ink/black. But it's exciting he's building his career and part of it is online. Cool.

Will list blogs that I check out...later. Just returned from my daily cycle in drizzly rain and must add more new content on blog before we go on vacation in next few days.
