This particular page of our site contains some general links that are useful to most, but set up for southeastern Massachusetts folks convenience. It has been designed with our family and friends in mind.
If you are from another area in the U.S. just follow the link and in most cases you will be able to select your own area. Most links here are not region related, so please don't hesitate to explore this site just because you are located in another state or country.
As you scroll down this page you'll find that these links are just a few of our favorites that we most commonly use. We will try to keep this site easy to get around. If you find this page useful and would like any particular web address added to this site. Just send them to us by e-mail and we'll check it out. If the link is appropriate for this site, we will find a place for it somewhere within one of our pages.
NOTE FOR NEW WEB SURFERS:
MANY OF THESE LINKS HAVE MANY THINGS LISTED ON THEM AND LIKE MOST WEBSITES YOU WILL VISIT, YOU WILL HAVE TO EXPLORE THE SITE TO FIND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.
For an example:
You are looking for recipes for chicken. If you go to Food Network's Food TV which is the first link listed under ANNIE'S LINKS farther down this page, you will find many things on their site. Type in chicken in the search engine at the upper right of the site. Some of the other sites listed may not show what you are looking for up front. So if you see a search engine for the site give that a try. It will often say something like; "Search This Site".
(This was only mentioned because someone had said they couldn't find any recipes. Hope this helps you out. By the way our search brought up over 1,200 recipes for chicken!)

One more for the strangeness thing. This is Whitley Strieber's site that he created because he believes he and his family are being visited by aliens.
