Fun, interesting or informative ones. Which ones do you find yourself visiting frequently...other than Mingle2.

Um...somehow I just know this is going to end up with an 'R' rating and be relegated to the S&I forum. Could we try to keep it 'PG', please?

When I'm not on Mingle2, I'm on NetFix, Napster, Scottrade, or working on my own site. I shop online sometimes mostly through Amazon, or other well known and trusted stores.

I haven't come across any new sites worth mentioning in a while.

One fun website I use for email cards is jibjab.com. You can insert head shots of your family and friends into the cards and they are hilarious! And G-rated. Check it out if you like.

Also smilebox.com is a great one for heartfelt email cards. And you can put photos in them and choose music also.


*** And they are both FREE!!!! Hope this helps. flowerforyou

Oh, yes...JibJab! That is a good site. Another is 'cartoonistgroup.com. I really should check out Scottrade. I'm so not good with any of that sort of thing, but it would be wise if I took the time to learn more.

You can open a scottrade account, but you'll have to make an initial deposit of $500 within 30 days I think it is. Trades are just $7, and there's no maintenace fees, hidden charges, etc. They also give you access to a lot of helpful information. I love Scottrade, I've been with them for a few years, never had a problem.

If you're into social sites, fubar.com seems to be pretty popular. I haven't been there in a long time though.

I found a pretty cool website today, http://if-i-were-president.org/.

I don't know if this is good advice, really, but you might try chatroulette.com.

The first thing to say about it, sadly, is pretty bad. It is not child friendly, nor is it prude friendly. Specifically, about 1/10 of the people on there are guys with their junk out. I know thats not a good selling point, but keep pushing F9 and you'll only see it for a fraction of a second.

That said - I've had some convos with some cool people in china and india, brazil and various european countries about all kinds of stuff politics, religion, and culture. I mean, these peeps aren't particularly smart, but they have so much to offer simply because they are fully immersed in a completely different culture (their whole life). I feel like its like the old days of the internet, before http became popular.

Also, there are a lot of people clowning and pranking on that site, and some of it is hilarious.
