In working at bluehost I've come across a bunch of sites that I absolutely love, and I thought I'd pass along the goodness^_^
http://www.pandora.com/
This site makes work a lot easier. It has all of the advantages of a radio, only it only plays the styles you like, and you can skip a song if you don't like it. It also has direct links to buy songs you like so you can add them to your music collection.

Any visually impaired person knows that prescription glasses can cost you an arm and a leg, especially if your eyes are a different prescription. Even if you're just buying the standard pair glasses can cost anywhere from $50-200 at Wal*mart. This site is wonderful for my fellow blind ones. Their glasses start at $8.00 a pair with $3.95 for shipping per order, whether you buy 1 or 100. Plus, they have some really awesome frames.

For those of you considering purchasing a home, this site is wonderful. They have some of the most detailed listing reporting of any other place I've seen. Additionally their newsletters have a ton of great information about interest rates and types of house sales and such.

KSL classifieds. Oh how I love thee!
New fridge: Retail - $1000 KSL - $100
Used car: Dealership - $12,000.00 KSL - $1,000.00

This online chat site allows you to log into all of your msn, yahoo, aim, etc. chat programs and have them be in one global buddy list. All the advantages of Trillian without having to install anything, so it's great for work or school computers.
http://notalwaysright.com/
Perhaps my favorite one on this list, this blog site is entirely comprised of people's crazy situations with stupid customers. Hundreds of people's accounts of their dealings with crazy customer quirks.
http://www.w3schools.com/
Great tutorial site for anything website related- from how to add video to your site to creating banners.
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/01/07/porn-industry-seeks-federal-bailout/#more-34724
not my favorite site, but an article that had me really upset. The porn industry asking for a bailout. I don't pay for porn on a voluntary basis, why should I pay for it out of my taxes? I'm just glad it didn't pass. Such seriously would have been the last straw.
And that's my list! If anyone wants to add any that would be lovely

Stolen from Loni! Bwahahaha!
What did you do in 2008 that you'd never done before?
Oh a bunch! Got a boyfriend, got engaged, got married. Had my first pregnancy scare. Adopted a puppy.
Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I think I kept some of them, but not all of them. To be honest I don't remember what they were. I do plan to keep this year's resolutions however.
What countries did you visit?
Just this one, though I almost visited Mexico.
What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008?
More patience. I have discovered that I am horrible at waiting calmly and not freaking out. I also want to have more personal peace, and more of a feeling that I am making a positive difference in the world without sacrificing the sanity and safety of myself and others.
What date(s) from 2008 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Jan 5th - Alan asked me out. Jan 15th - Engaged. Sept. 5th - Married
What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Pulling off a dream wedding without pulling my hair out.
What was your biggest failure?
First time getting fired from a job - costco - though now I have a much better job, so it wasn't a complete failure.
Did you suffer illness or injury?
I slammed my thumb in our car door on our honeymoon so hard it broke my thumb. And then there are my tonsils, which are getting taken out soon because of how badly they treated me this past year.
What was the best thing you bought?
A puppy^_^
Where did most of your money go?
Wedding, Cars, Rent, Food. Pretty basic stuff.
What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Wedding done/Honeymoon^_^
What song(s) will always remind you of 2008?
"You'll be in my heart" by Phil Collins
Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? Happier
ii. thinner or fatter? Fatter unfortunately, hence my new year's resolution.
iii. richer or poorer? I'm making better money but there are more expenses and mouths to feed.
What do you wish you'd done more of?
Spending time with friends, Schoolwork, Yoga, relaxing
What do you wish you'd done less of?
Worrying mostly.
Did you fall in love in 2008?
Very much so.
How many one-night stands?
None.
What was your favorite TV program?
NCIS, House, CSI, MASH, Grey's anatomy, Yes Dear.
Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Not any person in particular, though there are some companies that infuriate me.
What was the best book you read?
Sadly, my reading really went down this year. As far as the ones that I did read, I loved TCOYF, Twilight, and the tennishoes among the nephites series.
What were your greatest musical discoveries?
Paolo Nutini, Sara Evans, Sara Bareilles, and, though it's not necessarily a musical discovery, I am loving Pandora Radio
What did you want and get?
A puppy^_^ A job where I don't get burns and cuts on a daily basis, the love of my life
What was your favorite film of this year?
I really enjoyed Hancock and WALL-E
What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I worked and then went out to dinner with Alan, and I was 21
What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Finding and buying a house.
What kept you sane?
Alan, chocolate, and long phone calls and chats with friends.
Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Who did you miss?
A ton of people. Being married kinda killed my social life.
Who was the best new person you met?
Alan, though he really doesn't count as I met him years ago...
Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2008:
There is some shred of potential decency in everyone, and people will always surprise you with what they can do and be.
