I've been building Squidoo lenses since April 2007. Today I just got an announcment on my Squidoo Dashboard. It said: Payday, Payday! Here's your Squidcash, earned from 06/01/2006 to 06/30/2006. Congrats, and keep up the great lenses. OMG! My first payday from Squidoo! I can't believe it! My lenses are actually making money! When I first startede doing this and I read that you could make money doing it, I laughed. I built my first few lenses just to see if I realy could make money by shareing info on my hobbies, but I didn't think it'd work. As I got going, I quickly got addicted to building them, and now I've got about 40 lenses. I've been haveing so much fun here, that I didn't even think about the money part of it any more. In fact, I forgot that I had come here to try to make some extra money! LOL! Than today they send my first pay-day to my PayPal account. WOW! I'm making money for doing something I love doing! That is so cool!

According to Answers.com: A famous American saying goes, "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream !" Tom Carvel set up the first permanent ice-cream stand in 1934, when the truck from which he had been selling the frozen treat had a flat tire near a pottery store in New York. He sold his ice cream from that spot — off the back of his truck — for two years, until he finally bought the store in 1936 and turned it into an ice-cream parlor . That same year, he developed a formula for soft serve ice cream. In 1947, Carvel set up his first franchise , and, soon after, he ran a series of franchising seminars, nicknamed "Sundae School." Carvel was born on this date in 1906. Quote: "If you like ice cream, why stop at one scoop? Have two, have three. Too much is never enough." — Morris Lapidus See previous Highlights

According to Answers.com: Spotlight: Platform 9 ¾, the Sorting Hat and quidditch were introduced to the world 10 years ago this week, with the first publishing of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The Manichaean bildungsroman, which was later translated into American English, launched a billion-dollar empire.

The fifth movie will be released 2 weeks earlier. The amusement park doesn't open until at least 2009. Quote: 'Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words and here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!' — Albus Dumbledore in Philosopher's Stone

Such exicentment going on. I love it. Wondering: Are any of you guys going to be here tonight? For Those who don't know, it's a French festival celebrated in Maine. It celebrates the peace between Maine and Quebec and the mixed heritage of everyone that lives in the area. It's headquarters are in Biddeford Maine, which is a predominaty French town, and they close off all of Main Street and the off streets and turn the entire city into a giant carnival. It looks like the entire population of Quebec is here right now, you should see the traffic! A green frog is the symbol of the festival, and everyone has got frogs on t...
