The View
It's time the think about holiday shopping! Today on the view they gave some cool ideas for shopping on the web. If you're looking for gourmet gifts, table settings for a special dinner or perhaps a lucious chocolate centerpiece, then hop on over to Lillian Vernon because they sometimes have things you just won't find anywhere else -- like the personalized toys for kids.
If your tastes are a little more upscale, you might want to check out what Neiman Marcus has to offer. I believe the ladies on The View mentioned that you can even order your Thanksgiving Turkey there!
Would you like to serve a good wine with your holiday dinner, but don't know where to look in your neighborhood? Well, look no further, now you can get wine advice and shop at the virtual wineries of Wine.com . They carry our favorites and we sent in a request already to find out which other wines they'd recommend based on our favorites.
Here's an old standard: Crate & Barrel has lots of nice gifts for your home and sometimes you can find them for a good price.

RealAge.com
RealAge has a new look. It is now more of a general health data base with daily tips and such. Today's tip was that not enough magnesium could cause sleep problems. I didn't know that, did you?
I haven't posted in a few days because I was too busy enjoying a visit from my dad. We had a very nice time.
I was sorry to hear that my good friend Jennifer had an emergency gall bladder surgery this weekend. Any positive vibes you could send her way would be greatly appreciated!

The AFU and Urban Legends Archive
In addition to the Skeptics' site and the Urband Legends resource to the left (our first stops for authentication when we get those pesky e-mails) here is another great resource for the ever increasing number of urban legends. For example, next time you get an e-mail about a way to make money by forwarding a message to ten friends....or that by sending this e-mail, Microsoft or DisneyWorld or whoever will donate a dollar to charity.....you can go to one of these sites to find out the scoop. These sites also make for great fun reading. The Urban Legends Reference Center is studying the phenomenon. Now, there's a whole new sub-group of urban legends, namely computer virus hoaxes. If you've heard about a virus and want to know if it's real or not, you can go to:
Computer Virus Myths and check it out for yourself.
