I am pleased to announce that I achieved the coveted Giant Squids 100 or Giant The 100 Club status on Squidoo.
In order to qualify for the Giant Squid 100 Club you have to have 100 lenses judged to be high-quality by the Squidoo Team and the Giant Squid Team.
The Giant Squids are the elite squad of the best and most prolific lensmasters on Squidoo.
Thanks to all for the honor.
Loss, Grief and Bereavement - Number 1 in HealthÂÂ
My Loss, Grief and Bereavement Lens has finally made it to the # 1 spot in Health and Medicine. The lens has been the top spot in Health and Medicine since May 29, 2008.
It has not been an easy task, since Frankster’s Long Term Care For People You Love lens is on another important topic.
I am really very happy about the lens getting to the top of the health topics.
This is quite an accomplishment for me if you consider I’ve spent more than 10 years trying to get the medical profession to recognize that Loss, Grief and Bereavement are issues that impact people’s health and well being.
Thanks to all who visited and voted.

Giant Squid Discovered at IKEA
When we were at IKEA yesterday, my daughter’s came running up to find me…they were very excited to discover a Giant Squid Office set up.
With a desk on one wall and the Giant Squid, Dresser, Storage and Lights on another, my family decided that this would be the perfect environment for me to work on my Squidoo stuff.
Too bad the Giant Squid wasn’t for sale. 
 Comfortdoc’s New Lens: FreeRice - Donate Free Rice
The lens that I created yesterday was for the FreeRice project.
It is a fun way to learn some new words by playing the FreeRice Game and being able to donate free rice.
For each word you get right, FreeRice donates 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Programme.
I manage to get to a level where I donated 1000 grains of rice.

It looks like the widgets give us a lot of options for customizing the blog. I’d probably like to see being able to add our avatar, add an image and add HTML code (list where the blog is indexed).
Maybe this will go on the wish list.
Welcome to Comfortdoc on Squidoo.
I’ve setup the Squidtop blog to keep you posted on the Latest New Lenses, News Updates and Notes from Comfortdoc / Lensdoc.
Squidtop looks like it is going to be a great new addition to the tools available to Squidoo lensmasters to help get the word out about new lenses and updates to our lenses.
A big thanks to Loyalis et al. on another developing another great Squidoo resource for the lensmasters.
News Updates
Learning about blogging and the blogosphere is one of my goals for the summer. I’ve been actively blogging on two blogs this month, both of which had challenges.
The first is Ruminations of an Online Instructor / MD, the edublog that I set up in April, which thankfully is also in Wordpress, so I’m familiar with the format.
The second is My Green Doc Blog that I set up in honor of Earth Day.
I’ll be posting updates and new lenses as they become available.
I’ve just joined Squidtop!
It looks like this is going to be a great way to ‘help showoff their newest lenses, and brag about their Squidoo progress.”
Congrats to Loyalis et al. on another great Squidoo product.
