Hi and welcome to my personal Squidoo bio! I love the quality of Squidoo and I also do Hubpages. I have been published under "Gary A" at Seekingalpha.com, a prominent financial website. My Google Profile I have always been interested in politics and geography. Probably most of my lenses are about those subjects. They create quite different kinds of lenses here at Squidoo. ... http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/bgamall Sat, 18 Feb 2012 02:02:45 -0600 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.squidoo.com/knock-knock Knock Knock jokes have a long and storied history.

Come on, live a little. After all, no relationship is perfect and sometimes they can be trying and depressing. Relationship Jokes many times joke about work relationships that sometimes interfere with a real relationship. Some work relationships go too far. But most are harmless! You are lying to yourselves if you don't think a dose of humor won't help a little! Relationship jokes are jokes everyone can relate to and understand. Here is one that only some can relate to and most hope they never have to: One day, wanting to surprise her husband, an executive's wife made an unannounced visit to his office. As she approached his doorway, her jaw nearly hit the floor when she saw him sitting in his chair with his secretary sitting on his lap. Without hesitation, the executive dictated, "In conclusion, gentlemen, shortage or no shortage, it is impossible for me to continue to operate this office with just one chair." entertainment Mon, 19 Jan 2009 16:07:44 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/Blond-Jokes Blonde jokes are just really funny. And it isn't like we don't respect blondes. We do. Look how smart many of the blonde lensmasters are here at Squidoo? Need I say more? (Dare I say more?) Blonde jokes are about hair color and are more generally accepted by society than racist jokes, for obvious reasons. Truth is, blondes are endowed with beautiful hair and most of the rest of us have been jealous of this fate of nature at one time or another. Come on, fess up. You know you have been jealous of a blonde at one time or another! Here is a great article (read both pages) about blonde jokes: Enjoy this article about blonde jokes. For you spelling fanatics, an alternative spelling for "blonde" is "blond". The picture for this lens is a young Stephanie Lynn Nicks, my blonde heroine. entertainment Wed, 29 Jun 2011 00:16:41 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/ojaivalleyinninojaica Ojai Valley Inn has been ranked the number one spa in the world for 2008.

Genoa has a reputation for dishes derived from beans and other ingredients not connected with the more widely familiar mediterranean cuisine. food-and-cooking Sun, 21 Dec 2008 01:20:39 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/guys_feelings Certainly betrayal and abandonment is the most difficult and hurtful of all emotions. If you have been betrayed by a man then certainly you know that this is a long term hurt. But you can take some solace in the truth that young men do not always act in their best interests and often throw away things in their lives that are good for them, that are important to them. Only later do they realize what they have lost. relationships-and-family Sun, 14 Dec 2008 03:01:37 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/cairn_terriers Without question, Cairn Terriers are both high maintainence and dogs to marvel at. They are fast, smiling, evasive, game players, manipulators, stubborn, passionate, and absolutely beautiful. They are the alter ego of the Westie, and they are really a special breed, close to the earth and to doggy instincts. They are a throwback to earlier times. For many who have grown children or who have no children, a pet like a Cairn Terrier in some ways replaces the child. A Cairn Terrier or other feisty breeds interacts with the family much like a little person would. They know many commands and even words, and the only frustration is that they cannot comprehend full sentences! pets-and-animals Sun, 14 Dec 2008 02:49:58 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/camilo_villegas Every girl could have a crush on this guy. With a flair for fashion and a mean golf swing, Camilo has broken through to be one of the young guns on the PGA tour. Camilo broke out this year, winning for the first time on tour and then winning again. He is from Columbia (being the first Columbian to win a PGA tour event) and attended the University of Florida. He had memorable duels with Anthony Kim, the young American who wowed the crowd at the Rider Cup. I expect more great duels with Kim in the future. Golf channel has named Camillo Villegas the second most attractive male golfer and the third most attractive golfer (behind Natalie Gulbis and Adam Scott). sports-and-recreation Sat, 27 Dec 2008 11:11:51 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/recipes-from-crete Healthy eating is a hallmark of food and recipes from the Isle of Crete. If you want great food, tasty food, and you want to preserve your health, you have come to the right place. I hope you enjoy this guide to great Crete Cooking! food-and-cooking Sun, 21 Dec 2008 01:24:53 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/93210/Harris_Ranch_Restaurant If you are driving the most boring stretch of I-5, in the San Joaquin Valley between LA and San Francisco, there is an oasis half way between the two! Harris Ranch Restaurant and its accompanying inn are worth viewing. The restaurant food is great and the inn is very nice. This treasure is located in the Zip Code of my home town, 93210,(NO NOT 90210). I know quite a bit about the place. The dining room has a more expensive menu than the coffee shop. But the coffee shop is the quality of the many fine restaurants, so save a buck and eat in there. There is a great gift shop, beautiful fountains, lots of palm trees, and lounge with old west theme. This is a must see place, sort of the equivalent to the Madonna Inn on highway 101. travel-and-places Sun, 30 Nov 2008 13:53:07 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/Mt-Lassen Mt Lassen National Park is a fascinating place. It is perhaps the lonliest national park, but it is one of the most underrated. Mt Lassen is the southernmost Cascade Range volcano. The elevation is 10,459 ft which is similar to Mt St Helens prior to the devastating eruption in 1980. I hope you can go soon!

Sarah Palin is not an ordinary politician. That is why Palin Sucks. See also Palinsuresucks.com for a complete explanation of Sarah Palin's worldview. I will entertain almost all opinions but not hate speech. This lens is meant to inform not to incite. You need to know the whole story behind a politician who can see Russia from her house. Lying is a neocon trait. While it is funny that she is a bozo it is not funny that she is a diabolical liar following in the footsteps of the biggest political liar in the history of the world, George Bush. But I am for free speech, so whether you are pro Palin or anti Palin scroll down this lens and post your view now! You don't have to be a Squidoo member to post your own view! culture-and-society Sat, 27 Dec 2008 18:13:09 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/Shery-Crow-Music-Video Sheryl Crow has become a major pop star through her own creativity and her savy remakes of great songs of the past. Sheryl has varied her sound and style to fit the many different kinds of songs she has sung. Sheryl Crow has sung duets with others such as Kid Rock and Stevie Nicks.
