Do You Squidoo?

I do!

Alphabetically by subject, here are the Squidoo Lenses I’ve created, and a little bit about them.

Avatar Makers - The Online Avatar Makers I Love!

here are so many online avatar/character creators online, it’s hard to keep track of them all. Indeed, it’s also hard to even find them.

As a writer, I like to picture my characters on paper, and since I can’t draw for anything, I turn to these nifty tools to make my characters literally come to life.

But that’s only one use. Are you part of an RPG that you need to depict yourself for? Do you have a chat program that needs an image of you, and none of your photos will do? Do you just want to go crazy making pictures of your different personalities for whatever?

Read on for what I consider to be the best online avatar makers online!

Bullying - How To Stop Your Young Child from Becoming a Bully

My son was not quite five years old when he went seemingly overnight from a loving, sharing, helpful child to a bullying, aggressive bomb waiting to explode. Nothing had changed at home, his world had not been overturned by the loss of a parent or pet. It seemed to be entirely spontaneous.

So it was quite a shock when his daycare called and asked me to pick him up early. That happened again a few days later, and the next week when it happened again, they asked that he not come back.

This is my story, and the actions we took to overcome the bullying. This won’t be everyone’s situation, nor will it solve everyone’s problem. But I hope it will give someone hope that there is something you can do, and provide good resources that I wasn’t aware of until I was faced with the situation myself.

Nick Chinlund - Yummilicious Nick Chinlund

Nick Chinlund is an American actor that has performed in over 70 film and television roles. With his narrow eyes and gravelly voice, he is often cast as the villan - which is perfectly fine with many of his female fans (or at the very least, this one). Growing up in East Harlem, he attended Friends Seminary and had hopes of pursuing a career in basketball before a shoulder injury sidelined him.

I think I’d rather watch him on screen than on the court, anyway.
