Thanksgiving Time 2020

This year may be a lot different to most people. Some states are going to locked down. However, you can still have your favorite dishes. Just Skype so you can have other family and friends there to speak with. I realize it may not be the same. We are in a difficult season in the world right now. There's a pandemic, riots, defunding of police and possibly voter fraud regarding the Presidental election. Therefore, still having conversations with other people, either Skype or Portal, is one way to keep your chin up and not be so depressed. Depression right now is on the rise from last year (2019). As for me and my family I will keep the world in my prayers.

Covid-19 Controversy

2020 is the year of Covid-19. So much turmoil. So many rumors. So many deaths. I myself am not a total believer that Covid-19 is anything more than a new strain of the flu, like the pandemic of the Swine Flu. My husband had the Swine Flu and nearly died since he has Asthma. I personally have an insight through my Sister in CA who is a Nurse. So I believe that Covid is a new strain of flu, just worse than Swine Flu. All those deaths are not truly a result of Covid. Hospitals are getting extra money for marking deaths from other illnesses as Covid. Other hospital deaths are on the low side then they normally are so this supports that theory. It's normal for people to die in Nursing Homes. If a pandemic of the flu is introduced it would easily affect many of the residents even causing more deaths. To wear a mask or not wear a mask? I believe this is personal choice. I reside in the Commonwealth of Virginia and many people don't like being told to wear a mask. Mostly because it treads upon their rights. So it's like a mix of 50/50. However, employees are required in every establishment, if not they lose their jobs which I view as unfair. I often see older people wearing masks. I wear one because I hated getting the Swine Flu and don't want to get a stronger strain of the flu and miss going on outings with family. I also have a compromised immune system so it makes sense for me to wear one. There have been times I have forgotten. I don't get all stressed out and Lysol everything. Only once in a while do I even use hand sanitizer when leaving a place. However, if you feel safer always wearing a mask and using tons of Lysol then so be it. Each person has their personal beliefs and choices. This piece, I feel, is going to gander alot of criticism. Let's see who's reading my blog.

Bad Dog Foods being pulled

Dog foods pulled from shelves nationwide after ABC7 investigation finds euthanasia drug

WASHINGTON (ABC7) — Retailers pulled at least 31 varieties of dog food off the shelves nationwide after a months-long investigation found the euthanasia drug, pentobarbital.

After releasing the results of lab tests that identified the drug, the FDA launched an investigation. And now, just days later, Smucker’s, the owner of almost all the brands in question, announcing a voluntary withdrawal. It includes products in the Gravy Train, Kibbles ‘N Bits, Skippy and Ol’ Roy lines of canned food.

Retailers, including the nation's largest, Walmart, removed it from all 4,700 stores.

For seven months, we investigated what's in dog food. Analytical labs conducted hundreds of tests across dozens of brands.

"Consumers, they're tired of their pets dying. They're tired of being worried and this needs to change," said Susan Thixton, who’s been researching and writing about the pet food industry for years.

Thixton says based on current labeling standards, it's impossible for consumers to know what they're really feeding their pets.

“They have no information,” said Thixton. “A consumer has to become a private detective to learn what's really in their food."

Among our tests were 15 cans of Gravy Train, made by Big Heart Brands, owned by Smucker’s.

Nine cans, 60 percent of the sample, repeatedly tested positive for the euthanasia drug, pentobarbital.

And while the levels detected were not lethal, under federal law it is not permitted at any level, and never allowed to be used on animals intended for food.

"Where did it come from?” asked Dr Nicholas Dodman, veterinarian and former Director of the Tufts University Animal Behavior Program. “If they don't like the explanation that it's coming from animals that have been euthanized, what is their explanation as to how it gets in there?"

Smucker’s posted on its website that it does not use pets in its food.

The company would not answer any of the questions we provided to them, including how is pentobarbital getting into their supply chain?

In our tests, only Gravy Train came back positive for pentobarbital. Smuckers has not explained why it has expanded the number of brands being pulled from shelves, but it’s possible that the brands share a supplier.

We also asked Smucker’s about that today, but did not receive a response.

The following products should not be fed to pets, but returned to the place of purchase for a full refund.

The way to identify product is to look at the product name/description and UPC codes below:

4 Stages of Self-Love

Great Advice, you must actually love yourself before you can truly love others. Therefore, this article is about how to love yourself and has great advice.


While it’s easy to treat yourself to a spa day or binge on your favorite dessert, self-love requires time and effort. This includes reflecting on both the negative and positive in your life. You have to be open to looking at yourself with an honest and kind eye. By proactively engaging in self-love, you are building yourself up for happiness and a future that you deserve. Use these four steps below to aid you along your self-love journey.

Stage 1: Define Your Struggles & Let Yourself Heal

Before starting this step, you must allow yourself to feel vulnerable. Now identify the areas that you sometimes struggle with in life. Stay true and transparent with yourself to find out where your wounds are. Only then, will you be able to start to heal. Forgive yourself for any shortcomings and make actionable goals to improve your life. Part of doing this involves recognizing how you sabotage yourself.
Think about the last time you hurt yourself with your own self-critical words. Write down everything that happened. This technique is called mind mapping and it will help you see where your negative thoughts are coming from.

Stage 2: Stand Up to Your Negative Inner Voice

Practice mindfulness when negativity arises. When you challenge your negative inner voice, you look for the root of hurtful thoughts. Find out what you need when these scenarios arise. Is the negativity a cover for something that you want in your life? Let go of the thoughts that hinder your self-love.
You might be surprised at the words you use to bring yourself down. If a close friend talked to you in the same way you talk to yourself, you probably wouldn’t have that friend for long. Learn how to encourage yourself from the perspective of a close friend.

Stage 3: Make Your Self-Love Routine

Uncover positive ways to motivate yourself for your own improvement. Learn how to shift your mindset to focus on things you love and put yourself first. Keep track of your progress by journaling so that you can learn how to maintain or even accelerate your growth.
One thing to help you shift your mindset is to say positive affirmations about yourself aloud. It may feel strange to you at first but it is a useful and powerful tool to use when practicing self-love.

Stage 4: Lean on Loved Ones

While you keep track of your self-improvement progress, strengthen relationships with your loved ones who support you. Let people in on the goals you are trying to achieve. Not only will you build a support system but you may inspire others to embark on a self-love journey. Encouragement goes a long way and it goes both ways. Self-love is a journey, not a destination!

Come up with ways to communicate better with your loved ones. If you’re feeling down, say what’s on your mind. Let people know if you want to be alone. Sometimes all it takes is a little bit of personal time to re-energize yourself.

In summary, taking small daily steps will set you on the right path of the overarching journey. So don’t feel rushed and take it at your own pace. Self-love isn’t about treating yourself materially, but it doesn’t hurt to reward yourself throughout the process.

Pedestrian Crossing Street Makes Sure to Look at the Approaching Driver

Wow read this and decided to share. At the end you will be baffled.

CHICAGO—Stepping off the curb and into the crosswalk, local man Adam Hartsell reportedly made sure to look up at the driver of an approaching vehicle Thursday to ensure they would feel extra guilty in the event they failed to stop and ran him over. “The goal of this split-second eye contact is to impress my image upon their mind, so that if they do hit me, they will be forced to spend the rest of their days picturing the terrified face of the person they ran over in his last moments of life,” said the 26-year-old pedestrian, who emphasized the importance of not only locking eyes with each and every oncoming driver, but also delivering a hard stare that conveys a stern moral appraisal of any who would not brake their vehicle in time. “In this way, I will be able to haunt their dreams long after they’ve struck and killed me. If I have enough time, I also make sure to look any passengers dead in the eyes, so that they, too, will be hounded for years by debilitating remorse. It’s important to take these small precautions.” At press time, reports confirmed the oncoming driver had looked up from their phone screen and briefly wondered what the muffled noise coming from beneath their car had been.

60 ways to use Vinegar

I love getting Vinegar tips because vinegar is such a versatile product. You can clean with it, make your own salad dressing for dieters, it's also good for helping those with constipation.

Vinegar tips for daily living:

1)There’s nothing worse than spilling your coffee or tea on yourself! Before just throwing out your stained outfit, dab the stain with white distilled vinegar and wash normally. For best results, rinse the stain with hot or boiling water before it sets, if fabric can withstand heat.

2)Don’t you hate getting oil or grease marks on your clothes? Just sprinkle baking soda on the stain to absorb any loose oil or grease. Then, soak it in white distilled vinegar and scrub with dish soap before washing as normal. Ta-da!

3)Tomato sauce spot? No problem. All you have to do is pour white distilled vinegar directly onto the stain, then wash immediately. It’ll be like new!

4)Pro-tip: treat stains from the back of the fabric to avoid pushing the stain deeper into the fabric. Use a soft nail brush or toothbrush to scrub stain if needed.

5)Did you know that you’re supposed to treat a stain as soon as possible? If you can’t work on it immediately, try to keep it damp with water or club soda if you can.

6)Make sure that you don’t dry a garment until the stain is gone! Dryer heat will set the stain permanently.

7)Don’t wait until spring to start cleaning! Create your own window cleaner by mixing equal parts white distilled vinegar and water. Then just soak a sponge in the mixture and wipe your windows. I actually use newspaper instead of a sponge and it
is streak-free.

8)Time to get things done! Get a fresher brew of coffee by using white distilled vinegar to clean automatic coffee makers. Dissolve mineral and oil build-up by filling the water reservoir with white distilled vinegar and run the coffee maker through a brewing cycle. Empty the reservoir and then, to rinse out any remaining vinegar, run a full reservoir of water through the brewing cycle. This one I already new so it wasn't new to me.

9)Did someone forget to place the microwave cover on their lunch? Clean your microwave by boiling a ¼ cup of white distilled vinegar and 1 cup of water in the microwave until steam forms on the window. Wipe away food residue with a damp cloth.

10)For dishes and glasses clean all year long, add 1 ½ cups of white distilled vinegar to the bottom of your dishwasher. Run a regular cycle using the usual amount of detergent and watch your clean slates come out.

11)Did the kids draw on the couch again? Use full strength vinegar to remove ballpoint pen marks on cloth furniture. Blot the area gently until the marks are gone.

12) Deodorize the toilet bowl quickly by adding 3 cups of white distilled vinegar to the bowl. Let sit for half an hour before flushing.

13)Remove build-up on your bathroom shower head. Pour ½ cup of baking soda and 1 cup of white distilled vinegar into a sandwich bag and tie the bag around the showerhead. Let the mixture set for an hour or until the bubbling has stopped. Remove the bag and turn on water for best results.

14)Have a sore throat? Gargling a mixture of warm water and a spoonful of organic apple cider vinegar may help soothe throat pain.

15)Take 1 tbsp of organic apple cider vinegar 3 times a day by mouth; it may help ease some sinus aches and pains.

16)I have also used it to take Kool-aid stains off of countertops. To do so you put some baking soda on the stain then add white distilled vinegar to it. It will fizz a bit. Go back in 5 minutes with a wet rag or sponge and wipe it away-- Kool-aid stain gone. I used this trick all the time my kids were teens and making their own Kool-Aid.

17)Easily detangle kids’ hair with a quick splash of apple cider vinegar during the final rinse.

18) I have used vinegar to unstop a toilet. You boil water barely to the boiling point as you don't want to crack your toilet. Then add white distilled vinegar and close the lid. In 15 minutes go back and flush the toilet. Sometimes if the clog is a big one you may have to repeat it.

19)If your tea kettle isn’t shining like it used to, spritz the outside with apple cider vinegar. To finish, wipe it with a cloth covered in baking soda along the grain.

20)For the perfect pie crust, add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to the mix.

21)Stained refrigerators aren’t inviting for even the least popular veggies. Make it shine like new after soaking problem areas, like drawers and shelves, in undiluted white distilled vinegar.

22)For sparkling silverware, soak in a sink full of vinegar.

23)Refresh sponges and dish clothes by soaking in enough water to cover them and add 1/4 cup of white distilled vinegar. Let sit overnight.

24)Prep plastic food storage containers for ample leftovers. To clean stained or smelly containers, wipe them with a cloth dampened with white distilled vinegar.

25)Spray cutting boards with undiluted vinegar to remove surface residue.

26)A basic baking soda and vinegar mix can remove a greasy mess around the stove. Apply it in paste form, allow it to sit and then wipe down.

27)ALLEVIATE THE LITTER
Remove cat litter odor by pouring ½ inch of white distilled vinegar in the empty litter box. Let it stand for 20 minutes, swish it around, then rinse with cold water.

28)LISTEN, DON’T TOUCH! Keep a dog from scratching its ears by wiping them out regularly with a soft cloth dipped in undiluted white distilled vinegar.

29)Remove skunk odors from your pet by wiping down your pet with a 50-50 solution of white distilled vinegar and water, followed by a plain-water rinse. Repeat if necessary.

30)Some carpet stains can be removed with a paste of 2 tablespoons white distilled vinegar and 1/4 cup salt or baking soda. Rub into the carpet stain and let dry. Vacuum up the residue the next day. (Always test on an out-of-sight part of the carpet first).

31)Avoid skin problems after working in the garden by rinsing your hands in white distilled vinegar.

32)For your Garden: Increase the acidity of soil by adding white distilled vinegar to your watering can.

33)Clean a hummingbird feeder with white distilled vinegar. Soap or detergent can leave behind a residue.

34)Remove berry stains on your hands by rubbing them with white distilled vinegar.

35)Get rid of the water line in a flower vase by filling it with a solution of half water and half white distilled vinegar, or by soaking a paper towel in white distilled vinegar and stuffing it into the vase so that it is in contact with the water line.

36)Rid your lawn mower of leftover grass and buildup by wiping down with a cloth dipped in white distilled vinegar. Make sure your lawn mower is off before cleaning.

37)Hide scratches in old furniture by applying a mixture of apple cider vinegar and iodine.

38)Stained suede shoes look like new after they are wiped down with a mixture of water and white distilled vinegar.

39)Brighten up listless leather with a touch of white distilled vinegar!

40)Preserve garlic by peeling and then placing in a jar filled with vinegar.

41)Add some zip to your morning tomato juice with a shot of apple cider vinegar.

42)Freshen wilted vegetables by soaking them in cold water containing a spoonful or two of white distilled vinegar.

43)Extend the life of your ketchup. When the ketchup sticks in the bottom of a nearly empty bottle, pour in a touch of white vinegar and shake it up. It will loosen the ketchup and won’t interfere with the flavor.

44)If you’ve added too much salt to a recipe, add a spoonful of white distilled vinegar and sugar to try correcting the taste.

45)To make basic vinaigrette salad dressing use 1 part white distilled vinegar to 4 parts oil.

46)Drinking apple cider vinegar can aid in detoxifying your body. With this one I put a tablespoon into a cup of water and drink it.

47)Two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar before bed may help lower glucose levels in people with type-2 diabetes.

48)Try a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar as a cure for hiccups. I have never tried this because I save pickle juice and ingest a few sips. Works for us every time.

49)Try treating acid reflux by taking one to two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar daily. Most people mistakenly believe that acid reflux is cause by an overproduction of acid, but it’s actually the opposite for many people, as in too little acid.

50)Clean your toothbrush by letting it soak in a solution of vinegar, water, and baking soda for 30 minutes.

51)Dabbing apple cider vinegar on a bee sting may help reduce the pain and inflammation.

52)To reduce underarm sweat, apply apple cider vinegar under your arms with a sponge, let dry, then apply your deodorant.

53)Soothe chapped skin with a mixture of organic apple cider vinegar, water, and olive oil.

54)Adding two tablespoons of organic apple cider vinegar to a 12oz glass of water can aid in weight loss. This has worked for me.

55)Eliminate bad breath and whiten your teeth by brushing once or twice a week with white distilled vinegar.

56)When finished cooking with fish or onions, place a small bowl with 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar near the stove to eliminate any leftover smells.

57)Walls: Painted walls can be difficult to clean, but vinegar is a simple solution. Mix 1/4 cup vinegar with 1-quart warm water to create a gentle and effective cleaner. Walls painted with oil-based paint are easy to clean with vinegar. Dampen a rag with vinegar and wipe walls tops to bottom.

58)Stain wood using only white distilled vinegar and steel wool

59)To make the perfect picnic potato salad dressing combine 1 cup mayonnaise, 3 tablespoons white distilled vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

60)To keep eggs from cracking when boiling add a tablespoon or two of white distilled vinegar to water.
