Is Protectiveness The Same as Aggressiveness?


Okay, maybe you can help with an argument I am having with a neighbor.
The neighbor thinks a dog barking and growling for protection, is the same as barking and growling for aggressiveness. I say it isn't. However, she is firm on what she believes.
I think barking and growling to protect the family is a good thing. That a dog should be rewarded. My neighbor thinks it is wrong. Instead of being rewarded, the dog should be reported to animal control and put down.
What do you think? Is it the same? Should it be treated differently? Or does it give conflicting commands to our dogs?

Sending Food Back, Not Once, But Twice


In the past, I have had bad experience at a restaurant. I have eaten there many times and have never had a bad experience before.
I ordered the cheeseburger and fries. I took a bite and it was raw on the inside. I tried to eat, but sucked down more soft drink than bites. A friend caught the waitress's attention and told her. She took it away for another sandwich.
Well, they replaced it but guess what. The second one has been just as raw. The cook came out and apologized. She used the excuse that it was fresh meat. I still had to pay for the meal.
Yuck!! I am sorry, but when someone says they want their meat cooked well down. Then why couldn't she do it? I have cooked with raw meat before to make hamburgers. As I grew up on a farm. I have always managed to cook a hamburger where it wasn't raw.
Do you think I should have had to pay for the meal?
It wasn't cooked the way I ordered. The cook tried not once but twice.
Would this upset you in not coming back to eat at the place again? How would you handle this? Have you ever had the experience of sending food back to the cook because it wasn't done right? How did it turn out after sending it back?

Golden Corral Review

I found a Golden Corral to stop at one my vacation. Believe it or not, the thought of eating here really delighted me. As the Golden Corrals usually have awesome salad bars. I needed to get back to eating healthier again.
For those that don't know, It is a place to go to eat to get what you want from a salad bar style set up as much as you want for a certain price. Hot and cold foods.
This one salad bar wasn't as good as the ones I am use to up north. The ones I go to up north offer many more salad ingredients. However, their crab salad was delicious. Something not served up north. So, I can't complain to much. I did enjoy all the food that I had tried out.
This Golden Corral is another that gets a 5. Ranging from 1 to 5. As 5 being the best rating.
Now I have rated a Golden Corral in Toledo, Ohio a 2. As they have to have security guards on site. The food wasn't that good. Plus, my boyfriend got sick. As one dish had pork in it that my boyfriend had not realize til after he ate it. He got the greenbean casserole. It had ham in it. I have never seen it cooked that way before. He thought it would be safe to eat. he was wrong.

Fish Sandwich and Potato Fries

I enjoy going out to lunch or dinner with my boyfriend. I usually take a photo and save it for a later time. I don't know what it is about food. As I really enjoy taking photographs of all types of food. This time I used a website to create my photo to appear like a puzzle. Credits are at the bottom of this article.

Since, Easter is almost here many places will have a fish special on their menu. Big boys's was no different. My boyfriend and I both ordered the senior fish special. As it is served with a white fish that tastes better than the other fish sandwich. Plus, the price is cheaper. I ordered mine with sweet potato fries. Where my boyfriend had the regular fries. The meal came out quickly. The service was exceptional. The taste impressed my taste buds. I will ordered this dish in the future.

Do you like to eat fish or sweet potato fries?

Japanese Mall Food

While on vacation, my friends, my boyfriend and I stopped at the local mall. We visited a store that did not have what my friends were looking for. They were out of stock.
After browsing the stores for awhile, we all decided we were hungry and ready to eat. We headed tot he food court.
My boyfriend and I decided to try the Japanese at the food court. We both ordered the orange chicken and bourbon teriyaki chicken. With a crab rangoon.
My boyfriend had his served with rice. While I received the noodles. We both ordered fried rice with our meal. But the ladies must of misunderstood me when I asked for the same thing as my boyfriend.
I didn't say anything and took the noodles. I wished I spoke up. As the noodles were horrible tasting. The noodles were the worse tasting noodles i have ever tried.
Have you ordered a meal and was disappointment with the taste of something?

Mini Beef Tacos

I was able to enjoy with my boyfriend a small cup of mini beef tacos. The tacos are very tiny in size. The shell is a hard corn tortilla. It is filled with ground beef and taco seasoning. It was served with a small portion of hot sauce. I decline to dip my mini beef tacos in the hot sauce. My boyfriend took the hot sauce and happily dipped his mini beef tacos in before consuming them.
If I wanted a quick snack. I would buy these mini beef tacos again. However, I would not buy them for a meal. These are good enough to hold me over until I can get to a place I can actually sit down and eat a meal.
I have seen mini beef tacos sold at my local grocery stores in the frozen section. Such as : Wal-mart, Kroger's and Aldi's. I have never tried them. However, after eating these mini beef tacos. I am thinking about buying a box to see if they compare taste wise.
Do you like mini beef tacos?

Have You Ever Had A Smuckers Crustable?

This is the review I gave for the 'Smuckers Crustables campaign I did a couple years ago on Buzz Agent.

When I first received the package, my neighbor was outside asking what I had gotten. So, I took the time to tell her about buzz agent and the new campaign on 'Smuckers Crustables'. I asked if she ever heard of them. She said sure but they were expensive in the store. But never tried them. So, I handed her a coupon and said now you can try them with less cost.

I took off to the store to get them. As I was in the check out line the cashier asked how I got a coupon for free smuckers crustables. So, I took this chance to tell her all about buzz agent and smuckers crustables. She looked excited and wrote the sites name down. Oh course others in line heard me talking and was asking questions to. Good thing I had my purse as I gave them each a coupon to. I took the Smuckers Crustables home. Threw them in the freezer and forgot about them.

A couple days later as we were moving. The kids were hungry and wanting lunch. I remember the Smuckers Crustables sitting in the freezer. I pulled them out let them thaw. I started getting busy moving again. After awhile we took a break to eat lunch. My sister in law and niece asked what we were eating. I took this time to explain what it was. I gave mine up to my niece as seemed hungry to. The kids devoured them and asked for more. Sadly I didn't have any. But I had a few coupons left. One I gave to my sister in law. The other I kept for myself for the next time to the grocery store. Have you ever had a "Smuckers Crustable"? If so what are you thoughts? If not , does my review entice you to go try some?

What is your favorite cake?


I made a cake for Christmas. It is strawberry with strawberry whip frosting. My kids thought it would be neat to add M&M's all over it. It turned out great and tasted yummy. Here's a picture. What do you think? Does it look yummy to you? What kind of cake is your favorite?

Have you ever been visited by Bigfoot or other mysterious creature at night?

The other night when I laid in bed. I thought I felt the room rumble and shake. As I heard the garage cans clatter. I assumed it was a nightmare or my medicines kicking in. But when I awoke the next day. To my surprise, I found something that was left behind. To the left were garage cans laying on the ground. With trash thrown about. I ran and grabbed my camera. As I could not believe it myself. Even two young boys and a teenager riding past on bikes thought it was kinda of strange. But we all agreed on one thing. My place was visited by Bigfoot the other night. I have to ask, have you ever been visited by Bigfoot or other mysterious creature at night?

Do you give your pets a teat?

I take my dogs to a local pet store and get their nails trimmed from time to time. If they behave, they get a treat that I buy at the pet store as soon as we get home. My dogs do help pick out what treat they will get. Last time they choose duck sticks. They are like the chicken and beef sticks. But made from duck instead. Their favorite treat is still the treats that look like a mini t-bone steak. Do you give your pets a treat? What kind of treats do you feed your pets? What is your pets favorite treats?

Teriyiaki Chicken and A Crackhead

Photo taken by and © belongs to rusty2rusty. Taken while vacationing in Galveston, Texas.

One of the places my boy boyfriend, the couple we traveled with and myself stopped at was "Jack in the box". It was the first time I have ever been to one.
I had the Teriyiaki chicken rice bowl. It was a bowl with carrots, broccoli,and chicken served over a bed of rice with teriyaki sauce poured over the top. I loved it. Rating from a 1 to a 5. 5 being the best. I give it a 5. I had no complaints.
However, both the couple and my boyfriend had complaints about their meals. I don't remember what their reasons were anymore. I know they were not happy and did not eat the rest of their meal.
I am sure it didn't help knowing there was a crackhead man and woman sitting beside us. We could here them talking. As they were being loud. They were arguing if the man was going to get the girl some clothes. As he wanted to find a place to stay. As they were tired of going from place to place to sleep. He wanted to get his next fix and go to sleep. She wanted new clothes.
The couple got up before we were done. We had to walk past them. As they were sitting with another man who was passing them their next fix. Than proceeded to walk off with his woman and child down the street.
Have you ever ate at a Jack in the box? If so, what do you think of the food?
Have you went on vacation and encountered crackheads? Or seen one do a deal not caring if anyone seen them?

Eight After School Snacks

Photo  found on a free use photo sharing site called Pixabay.com.
School are back in session for many students. My children included. After school they have sports practice. By time they get home they are starving. Last night I had made some tollhouse back to school pre-made cookies. My kids loved them. They were a big hit. Anyone that knows me, knows I enjoy making fun foods and treats for my kids to eat. I am a also a member of pinterest where I get alot of my ideas from. So far, I have got a few ideas for fun foods or treats for me to try out on my kids this year. They are:

1. Squirmy, wormy apple snacks - Cut an apple in half, Take the core out, add peanut butter and a gummy worm. 

2. Alphabet pudding - Use a little orange food coloring and add it to the pudding to make it look like the color of soup. Sprinkle with alphabet cereal. (This will work great for an April fool's joke as well)

3. Grape worms - Place them on a tooth pick or a shorten wooden skewer. Use chocolate chips for eyes. Can be attached by icing or honey. I think I will play around with these and see if I can use the string like licorice for attenna's. maybe make a caterpillar.

4. School bus twinkies - Since twinkies are making a come back. You can grab a twinkie. Cut 1/4 of the front corner off for front of bus. Than use different color of icing to decorate the twinkie like a bus. Use gummy life savers as the wheels. Attach by icing.

5. Back to School Snack Mix - In a bowl add in letter and number crackers. (I get mine at Kroger's. It is the Kroger brand), Pretzels shapes - the sticks for L's and the circle ones for O's. Cheeze it Junior Scramble crackers (has letters on them). Add some M&M's for the letter M. Lastly, mix in alphabet cereal. You can mix anything else that has letters or numbers to the mix.

6. Apple Pretzels - You cover the pretzel in a red chocolate. Just add red food coloring (if you can't find red frosting) and mix it in white frosting to you get your desired color. Use a brown tootsie roll for the stem. For a leaf, soften a green tootsie roll and shape in to a leaf.

7. Rolo Pencils - Take a roll of rolo's. Cover with yellow paper the color of a pencil. Add a hershey's kiss to one end for the lead tip. You can add some sort of candy the color of an eraser on the end by icing. Or use paper the color of an eraser. I prefer to use a candy. I really want to hand these out at Halloween.

8. Licorice pencil - Find yellow licorice, Dip end in chocolate icing after shaping tip in a point. Other end dip in red icing to look like the eraser. 

What after school treats do you give your kids? I am always looking to add and improve my list.

7 Tips To Help Keep A Kitchen Clean

Photo from Pixabay.com a free use photo website.
I love to cook, bake and create in the kitchen. However, I hate walking into a kitchen and having to clean before I start. That is a pet peeve of mine. I am the type of person who cleans as I go when cooking, baking or creating in the kitchen. Here are a few tips I use to keep my kitchen clean :

1. I will have an item to place utensils on as I am cooking. So, they do not make the stove top dirty. Plus, it helps when cooking several different things. That part of it do not mix on the utensils.
2. If I make a mess or spill, I clean it up as I go. I find it alot easier to clean before the mess sets in and I have to scrub to get the dried up or caked on yuck up.
3. My fridge has those spill proof shelves. That catch leaks. I just pull one shelf out, clean and place back in. It is alot better than having the shelves where everything leaks through to the bottom. I always hated having to clean a whole fridge for one little spill.
4. While baking, I go through several dishes. When done using one, I will rinse it out and place in the sink as I go. It will make washing dishes alot easier. Less scrubbing and dried out caked on yuck!
5. I always keep my kitchen table cleaned off. My kids like to use it as a catch all. My kids have learned I will not cook without the table cleared. 
6. When cleaning veggies, I have a sack or trash can right beside me. That way I have a place to put something I wish to throw out right away. Leaves for less clean up later.
7. I will prep what I can prior to any cooking or baking. This helps with clean up and getting what I accomplished earlier without trying to rush while I am cooking or baking.

Do you have to clean you kitchen before you start cooking? What is a pet peeve in the kitchen?

7 Myths About The Ladybug!

Photo from Pixabay.com
The other day while attending my sunflowers. A ladybug flew on my shoulder. I had my son place the ladybug back in my sunflower garden. But it came right back and sat on my shoulder. I am not sure what was attracting the ladybug to me. I was told by my oldest son that means luck when a ladybug land son you. So, I decided to do a web search. This is what I found out : 

There are 150 species of Ladybugs in the United States. Until I did a little research. I had no idea there were so many. Ladybugs come in a ray of different colors. With a number of different spots. 

There are many myths about the Ladybugs : 

1. In Brussels and Burgundy, if a lady bug lands on. You count the spots and that is how many kids you will have.
2. many farmers around the world believe if a Ladybug has less than seven spots, they will have a good harvest.
3. Others believe if a ladybug land son, you count the spots and that is how many dollars you soon receive.
4.Swedens believe if a Ladybug is found crawling on the hand of a woman, it is measuring her hand for her wedding gloves.
5. Killing a Ladybug means bad luck. As it is related to the Virgin Mary.
6. Canadians believe when a ladybug is found wintering in their garage, it is an indication of good luck. They also hold the ladybug in their hands and make a wish. The direction at which the ladybug flies is known to be the direction from which your wish will come true.
7. Some people believe if a ladybug lands on you when you are sick, it flies away taking the sickness along with it.

There is also a children's nursery rhyme about Ladybugs. It evolved from the practice of burning crops at the end of the season. Supposedly, farmers would sing to warn the ladybugs to fly away, leaving harmful insect pests behind to be burned in the flames. I am not familiar with and have never of it. 

Have you? Do you think the Ladybug brings luck or bad luck?

Keep Your Dog Safe from Deadly Treats

The thing the bugs me the most when people come over to my home, is the fact they think they can feed my Chugs anything. As dogs commonly do, they also beg. I hate the fact I have to put them in their cages when it is meal time. As the one Chug, Zues - I am fostering was fed anything by it's previous owner. Zues will knock your plate out of your hand if he think he can get the food. You place your food on the table, it disappears. You move your hand away from your body because you are actually taking a breathe in between bites or talking. The food disappears. People think they can walk in my house and feed my dog anything they are eating or any treat before asking. They are not the ones will have to pick up the mess when the Chugs get sick. I discourage human food being fed to my dogs.

Do you feed other peoples pets treats without permission?

The problem is not all food or treats are made the same. Some things my Chugs can not tolerate. It makes them sick. It really astounds me when a guest with feed my Chugs a treat. The Chugs get sick. Than claim," I don't know what happen. My dogs have no problem with those treats." I explain, "That's because these are my dogs not yours. They can not tolerate all treats. Next time ask the pet owner before serving their dog a treat."

Back in 2007, several pets lost their lives after consuming contaminated dog treats imported from China. At that time I had miniature pinschers named Max & Daisy. Max was given a treat that made him deathly sick. He did not die but had to rushed to an emergency vet. They were able to save him but not until the cost of his healthcare with in to the 1000's of dollars. I contacted the company that produced the treat my dog ate and made him sick. All they said was we have only had a couple of complains of our product. Pretty much they didn't care. Because all the other 10,000's pets who ate the treats weren't getting sick. Today, that treat has been removed from stores shelves. Only after a recall was issued after many more pets got sick or died. This all happened because production standards in other countries are often less strict as they are in the United States (such as China). I now look at where a treat is produced, not just packaged before I buy it. If it is not made in the United States. I do not buy it. I learned my lesson at the price of one of my dogs getting sick and running up an expensive bill.

Have you ever had a scare from feeding your pets treats?

There are two treats I will not give to my pets under any circumstances :

1. Rawhide Treats - Besides the potential of the treat breaking off and obstructing my pups airway. Rawhide go through a process, a chemical process where it is washed with degreasers, detergents, then sterilized in hydrogen peroxide. Not something I want my pups to eat.

2. Bully Sticks - bully sticks are made with the meat of the cow instead of the hide like Rawhide treats. So bully sticks are more easily digestible. But they are not made in the US.

What kind of treats do you feed your pets?

Would You Spend Eternity Next To Your Pet In A Pet Cemetery?

I was reading an article where in New York all state licensed pet cemeteries now allow humans to be buried with their pets. The only catch - The cemetary can't charge a fee and can not advertise for human burial. Plus, you must be cremated.

This got me thinking if it was available in my area if I would choose to do something like this. As I am an advid animal lover. The more I got to thinking about. The more I have decided I would never do it. Although I love my pets and would love to spend eternity with them. I don't want to be cremated. I have a fear of not really being dead, but medically everything says I am dead. Than being burned alive. Maybe I watched to many horror movies I don't know. But the idea of being cremated just scares the heck out of me. I know, I know. Ideally, I would be dead. So, it won't matter any ways.

Would you spend eternity next to your pet in a pet cemetery, if one was available in the area you lived?
