Squidaddiction

This lovely Photo is brought to you by another Squidoo Addict who is addicted to Squid Art
What is an Intervention?
An intervention is a process where Friends or Lensmasters confront another Lensmaster about their behavior and visit each others lenses for support
Ok I admit it - Now what do I do?

Well - I do not believe there is a program for us Squids yet - I am not sure Dr. Drew is gonna take any of us on or A&E's Intervention Show will not branch out just yet for Squidoo Addiction.
So unless you want to blow up your computer or have your internet connection disconnected we are just gonna have to support each other for now.
So knowing you are an addict and so are the others who have posted their lenses - just click on some and show your support knowing they too have the same problem. For now that is all we can do. So stayed tuned and book mark this page - add yourself to my Fan Club and when there is a program for us available - I am sure to have it right here.
So you are new to Squidoo and not tried it yet?
Go to this page and give it a try - you will like it - it will make you feel really good.
Oh no - I am a Squidoo Dealer........

I want to tell you all about Squidoo - The Party Animal style. If you have not gotten caught by Squidoo, then now is the time. I will tell why I love it so much, some tips and how to get started with your very own page. Once you start you will be add...

Thanks for your support - I really need it
Support for Squidoo Addicts - Tell everyone you are and Addict - it is a step in the right direction

Oh and always remember to be a Good Squid
It is very important for people with addictions to be the best Addict they can be. So if you found you are a Squidoo Addict than it is important to be the best kind.

Be a Good Squid

I decided to make this page for fellow Squidoo-ers and those thinking of joining the wonderful world of the Squids. So if you are a Squid already or thinking of becoming one this is a good fun lesson for you. So sit back and enjoy a fun humorous read...
If you can tear yourself from making another lens to leave feedback - that would be great
