I will share something about myself that is no secret to others who know me! In doing so, I really hope that you all could help and I would greatly appreciate your advice in advance.


I am very sensitive to "negativity" regarding world events. I do not like to know every bad thing that happens as a result of humans wanting to hurt each other or humans wanting to hurt animals, etc. I feel that the news shoves all of the bad stuff in my face everyday and I cannot get any respite! I do not watch the news, for this very reason, but my home page has been set to Yahoo! since I was 18.


I would like to know, therefore, if any of you have any suggestions for a homepage which isn't news related? Or, if it is news related, a site which shares the compassion, etc of humanity which I know exists...


I know bad things happen in the world. I'm no spring chicken. But, I feel bombarded by negativity and it would be nice to switch my computer on in the morning and learn of something else besides death, murder, pain, etc.


I have tried to filter the news delivered to me via the Yahoo! webpage but it is a very inefficient method as I continually have articles which bypass the filter because of the way they are coded etc.


If you've read this, thank you very much!!!!!!!!!
