The Etiquette Grrls
The Etiquette Grrls have decided to crusade for the politeness so lacking in our world today. They answer question posed by their readers weekly and provide several amusing features as well. They recently became published authors with their book "Things You Need To Be Told" which is available on
Amazon and Barnes and Noble
you can read my review of The Book on both sites.

Allrecipes.com
As most of my friends know I love to cook, and this site is wonderful for finding that recipe you thought you'd lost forever or something new and exciting. Nutritional analyses and shopping list generators are two of my favorite features and the "Recipe Box" is great.Get Cooking!
Half.com
Ah yes, the evil that is *dramatic music* Half.com. Say you collect Lucy Maud Montgomery books, which aside from the "Anne" series are hard to find, or the third book in a cherished trilogy is out of print, don't fear! Half.com not only has an amazing selection of used books (all rated by condition) at great prices it also has nifty features like putting in a request for a particular book to automatically buy it should it become available under your specified price.
WARNING: Half.com may be a danger to your paycheck.Visit Anyway!
Ofoto
Ofoto is a really keen site! It's an online photo developing service, you send them your film in a prepaid waterproof mailer and they develop and scan your negatives (which they return by mail)and place the pictures in an online album where you choose what pictures you want prints of in sizes from wallet to poster. The prints are VERY high quality and they give you very accurate advice on what size a print can be and still maintain image integrity. Neat features like image manipulation, tinting and borders are all available. Signing up is free and developing and prints are reasonable. You get 15 free prints to start and something like 2 rolls of film developed for free. For examples of their album format visit My Albums. If you already have lots of scanned or digital camera pix you can upload those as well! Best of all you can invite friends and family to view your albums and they can order prints for themselves!Get the picture!
