Every day is a new day and with that, a new opportunity.
EVERYONE is welcome and please join us each morning at 7:30 AM PACIFIC
to tell us what you're working on, share your show & tell, vent, whatever you want...
...this is an open thread. Nothing is off topic.

So let's learn a little more about you. What websites do you check each day for amusement and entertainment?
I'll go first to get you warmed up. You all know that I'm a foodie so it will be no surprise that I like to visit websites like TasteSpotting:
TasteSpotting: A community driven pot-luck. It's a mouth-watering photo collection of recipes,
cooking, baking, kitchen adventures, food industry and media news created by its users.

You know I'm into fashion and one of the best is The Sartorialist featuring street fashion:
This Sartorialist panel features the father of documenting street fashion, Bill Cunningham.

I love this young Cherokee blogger, Adrienne K., at Native Appropriations:
Native Appropriations is a forum for discussing the use of Indigenous cultures, traditions,
languages, and images in popular culture, advertising, and everyday life. For background on
Cultural Appropriation, check out this article.
Many of my friends and relatives post their new photos daily at Flickr:
And then there's Facebook...
But I spend most of my on-line time here, reading your diaries and comments.
