Comparison...!

Recently I had mentioned that I had had an incident with using Neutrogena Beach Defence 70 SPF sunscreen lotion. The problem was while redoing my two blue pots on the patio under a paddle fan I perspired enough to have the Neutrogena run into my eyes from what I had applied to my forehead and burning them!

And so I had contacted Neutrogena and told them what had happened and that I thought their product was also for sweating, but apparently not!

They are sending me a refund and that is all they had said, basically.

Fast forward to today and I saw on the morning TV news that they are recalling or basically telling people to toss their spray form https://www.yahoo.com/news/j-j-recalls-aveeno-neutrogena-003705182.html  of what I bought due to the benzyne causing cancer... mine says it is oxybenzene free, and it is a lotion, not a spray? But I have so many questions...now! It is also a Johnson and Johnson product and so...that is a concern! Although, even with their not-so-stellar reputation I did have their vaccine and so far so good.

Any-who, I did stop using it when Hubby bought me, at the Publix grocery, Banana Boat sport sunscreen lotion that states right on it it is sweatproof and waterproof too! And dare I say came in cheaper in a larger quantity! And I have used it without any problems to date! An Edgewell, Personal care brands product out of Shelton Connecticut that I am not familiar with, you? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgewell_Personal_Care Fairly new, 2015, from what I just gleaned from the info. Must have bought Banana Boat since I do recall them being around quite a while.

Moving on...

The death toll has risen in Surfside Florida, where the Champlain Condo Towers collapsed on June 24th, now sorrowfully it is up to 97.

Moving on lastly... our sunrise is better today, I think?

Oh, I did clean the wooden blinds in Hubby's bathroom with first a smattering of white vinegar and water spray and then after that dried with multisurface pledge cleaner! Oops, another SC Johnson product. Although, it does state on its label that it is a plant-based biodegradable cleaner, contains no ammonia, bleach, phosphorous, or dyes, produced with more than 30% renewable energy.

And so we must go, for now ...

Please be smart, as well as safe.

Have a very pleasant day.

Count those blessings, and we will too!

Next time, please be here or be square, ya hear!

Aussie, say good day!

I am Aussie, not being from Australia, but American-made, I will comply anyway, for the fun of it,... so I will say good day!

I am called Aussie because my Mom asked a sixteen-year-old girl, who had been looking at me, in the crate at the adoption site, that day, what she thought I should be named. And without hesitation, the teenager had said, Aussie! She was just looking, by the way,... so Mom did not steal me from her.
We never did find out the girl's name, and Mom liked the name Aussie too. We have since found out that it is a very common name, but it is still just right for me! My parents think that I am uncommon though,... some might say even unique! I do like that.
I am an Australian Shepherd. Here is an interesting factoid about me, I was supposed to be a miniature Australian Shepherd, but... as you might know, I AM NOT! Although I am now three years old, so I am the baby, though I tip the scales at around seventy pounds, HA! I must admit, a very big one!
I was three months old when Mommy and Daddy adopted me. I had been taken out of a hoarder's home in the Carolinas with my litter. Below is my new PIC that had been taken on the birthday that I share with my Dad, but Dad is much, much older than me!!! I was the first to be adopted, February 16, 2018, his brother's birthday.

3 months................................................ 3 years

No tail/tale publishing, circa 2018. (Although, the actual date this blog started was June 25, 2008.) 

Get it? I was born without a tail, preferable for all Australian Shepherds; only one out of five are born that way!

                                           

Hello, I am Bella in the picture above, a Maltese Yorkie, a Morkie, and I might be five years old. I am the middle child, so I am what you would expect, with all those idiosyncrasies that go along with all that! Being the only girl has its rewards, as well as difficulties... We are all rescues, so no one knows for sure our ages. I was turned in by my previous family, stating that I was misbehaving with their elderly dog, they had said I was driving him crazy! I was the second to be adopted on 8/18/18, on clear out the shelters' day!Oh, by the way, my record's called me Belle, and so for no known reason, Mom decided I was more of a Bella; beautiful either way!

Please don't forget me, I am Chance, pictured above, a Bichon Frise! I am six years old, so they think, and the eldest, and I like getting up early with Mom and Aussie. Bella sleeps in with Dad, till after seven most days, even later! I enjoy a good tug-a-war on the ropes that Dad had twisted for Aussie and me, and sometimes even Bella plays too! I was the last to be adopted, on January 23, 2020. 

I was wandering the neighborhood for days and then saw Aussie and Bella in their living-room window, so I hung out there... The Animal Welfare League checked me out and kept me for sixteen days until I was allowed to be adopted. Good evening? 

The animal control lady was called and came out to see if I had a chip I.D. with her machine, and Dad told her that he wanted to name me Chance. His reason being, that if no one claimed me, I want to give him a second chance! So that is how I got the name Chance!

Easy as Aussie, Bella, Chance, now you got it!
