Ann, For the Long Run, is hostess for this week’s Fun Monday. Her topic? To share a website that changed my life…one I can’t live without.
My first thought? This one. It’s my "go to" spot for everything I wanna know. Even when I’m not searching with "google" I use the term "google" 
generically. Hmmm, it’s the "Kleenex" or "Band-Aid" of search engines!
I had two quick thoughts that followed my first impression:
1) This site belongs to a friend who first introduced me to blogging over 2 years ago. She’s a young married, back in school, and gave up blogging for a while. Glad to see she’s cranked things up again after her honeymoon hiatus.
2) This site has definitely changed my life and altered my recent past, present and future. That’s pretty powerful if you think about it….
If you aren’t part of Fun Monday, be sure to let me know your favorite "life-changing" website(s) in comments :).
I forgot all about the poetry this month, sorry!!
And yes, Google is definitely a great site…so darned useful, I actually have it for my opening ‘home url’ when the computer boots up. LOL
And I have to agree that our own blogs are the tops for a life changing site. Afterall, we wouldn’t be where we are today, right?
what did we do before google?? and clever blog sites? ;0
google! of course!
but i still think the one i picked was more life-altering in broader ways…. after all, it taught me how to shop online.
the whole reason for the web’s existence!
I have google as my home page…great call! and you are right. Blogs have widened the breadth of my experience in more ways than I can count. It’s like having pen pals in far away lands…or near away lands with different experiences!
Hootin’ Anni, IT’S NOT TOO LATE FOR PPL!! You’ve got time! And, you’re right about our own blogs…we sure wouldn’t be doing “this” today if it weren’t for them!
Acaligurl, life moved a whole lot slower, I can tell ya that!
Laurie, yeah…that’s just dangerous! 😉
Sandy, true….:)
How could I have overlooked google. It’s my home page too!!
I left a long enough comment on your second link. Very good.
I love that you linked back to yourself, it really is a journey of self exploration to blog, isn’t it?
I’m with you on google. It’s the place I’m at most often, too.
OOps came back twice because I didn’t think you posted your FM. Glad I decided to scroll down :o) All great sites you passed on. I use google daily. Or maybe I should put hourly because it feels that way sometimes.
Robin, I thourghly enjoy reading your blog! 🙂
Thanks for linking to your friend’s blog. I read her post about the book review, and after watching ‘Blood Diamond’, I can not begin to imagine the road to recovery for these young men after living through such horrific times in their life. I am definetly going to have to check this book out.
And yes,Google is my number one GO TO!
Google is wonderful. Also, great idea linking back to your blog. Most everyone visits their own blog everyday so that should be on all our lists! 🙂
I also picked a “blog” that got me started on blogging for my Fun Monday. Definitely life changing!
Now I need to go work on my PPL poem…hmmm…
I wasn’t bored. 🙂 It’s funny, I totally take Google for granted. Like air or water – a necessity, but something that’s just going to be there.
Google saves my life on a daily basis – I don’t know WHY I didn’t think of it first!
I see I am in very good company choosing google! I remember reading a very good review on the book, but I never got to reading it. I might just get now you have reminded me.
That post of yours will stay with me for a very long time, it is very powerful.
Ah google, how did we manage without it!
You got back to your own blog eventually Robin, as most of usdo when we think “life changing”
HA! Another Google-holic! I knew I wasn’t alone! Nice to ‘meet’ you…..I’m thinking of playing along with the ‘poetic license’ thing too..
THANKS for chiming in, everybody :).
Christine, really BIG thanks to you!!!!
Karina, WAHOOO! GET GOING, GIRLIE-q!
Chris, ummm, I’m confused…what book?
OOoo, Sieglinde, WELCOME! And I DO hope you join PPL…there’s plenty of room for newbies! 🙂
Robin I can see why you’re glad your honeymoon blogger is back. Very thoughtful post and book review.
Am I the only one who prefers yahoo? I guess I’ve always liked to go against the flow.
Great minds do think alike!
You are very correct in our own blogs being life changing for ourselves.
I love your friends Hummer Header! Hope you had a great Fun Monday and PPL.
Google has to be one of the best sites. A lot of people are saying that.
