Take a look at the cycle of abuse to understand why many women become entwined in the cycle and often can't see the seemingly obvious answer to ending abuse. people Sat, 19 Jul 2008 12:17:17 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/xpbuttercup XP is short for xpButtercup which in turn is short for ex-Princess Buttercup, derived from The Princess Bride movie. (For this reason, I'll often refer to my husband as the Dread Pirate Westley.) More people call out "XP!" when they see me, than my given name. This is due to the fact that I have met most of my IRL friends through my excessive Internet usage over the past 15 years. (And yes, I do have pink and green streaks in my hair.)

Their herd of 69 horses was seized back in March 2007. An ignorant judge ordered them forfeited when the owners could not come up with $134,000 in a week. All horses were sold or given way. In a just system, they would be considered innocent until proven guilty ... but Web sites across the country have labeled them animal abusers. UPDATE: April 30, 2008 -- Felony animal torture charges against James Henderson (owner) and Matt Mercier (manager) were DISMISSED in court today. The judge cited lack of evidence. Over a year later, with their horses gone -- some confirmed dead, others suspected to have been shipped to slaughter -- the court finds that the charges were unsubstantiated.

Growing up in the 70's I recall country, disco and a bit of early hard rock. Moving into the 80's I can remember when Madonna and Prince were hot new stars, and I was a teen in the hair band heyday. By the mid-90's I was listening to country again, but never gave up on my dance grooves or heavy beats. I've never been a big "fan" of any particular artist or group. A song either moves me, or it doesn't. Please enjoy this trip back through my musical memory lane. (This will eventually be a "life discography" and I'm still adding content.

In a nutshell: the original concept that predates SquidTunes had a working title of Story Behind the Song and was envisioned to be a combination of Urban Dictionary (where a user could submit a song meaning, and visitors could comment and rank it) and Epinions (similar concept, but more product and review oriented). User picks a song and suggests a meaning for the lyrics. Guests may agree with page author or disagree, and leave comments. Visitors would also be able to quickly and easily preview other songs from the artist, buy concert tickets or memorabilia, view photos and Wiki on the artist/group, etc. I happen to think that SquidTunes could be the next wildly successful co-brand for Squidoo. I'm fairly young in Squid years, but I have the motivation to learn (and earn) and would like to be involved in SquidTunes as Community Leader or something to that effect. music Thu, 08 May 2008 12:37:05 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/legobionicle The Bionicle Series is an evolution of LEGO that goes far beyond your basic brick.

As far as learning a second language goes as a hobby or personal enrichment, ASL is fun and fairly easy to learn compared to French, Spanish or Japanese. We enjoy learning and using new signs. All of these letters are signed with the right hand. education Fri, 18 Jul 2008 21:22:04 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/freeliefbooks More than a few of my lenses exist for little reason other than to appease my appetite to share insignificant details about myself with the world.
