Yesterday at 2:45 pm we stopped at the McDonald's in Bartow. When we went in the door there was 10 people standing in line and then another 4 behind us. There was one cashier on the front counter and one on the drive-thru window.
The sad part is that there were two managers and five other employees standing behind the counter just talking. Not of one of them made a move to help anyone do anything.
I said something to my daughter, "can you believe this, one cashier, all these people in line and managers standing there doing nothing."
The one manager, whose hair looks like a rooster's comb, turned and gave me a dirty look. The woman still didn't do anything, she went right back to talking and laughing.
One of the employees that was standing there talking actually came over and said something to the cashier and then got a coffee and went back over to talk some more.
For myself, I'm not overly fond of McDonald's food anyway, but I have never been in any other McDonald's where the customers were just totally ignored. Most Managers will step out to the counter and help out if it gets that backed up.
Whoever the franchise owner is of that store needs to seriously look into hiring new Managers for the store. There was even two ambulance drivers in line and one of the employees said something about EMT being in line and they weren't helped either.
I've got to hand it to the cashier, she was trying her best to get everyone taken care of. If one of the Managers or one of the employees standing talking would have at least helped bag her orders and hand them out the line would have went down quicker. Cashier did it all herself.
"Rooster Comb" Manager needs to find a new job.

A True Story
I was updating one of my websites and was making some changes on the Petting Zoo page. As I was writing somehow this is what I ended up with. About half way thru it, I stopped to read it and got such a laugh I decided to finish it.
For all the people who actually know me, they are going to enjoy this as much as me.
At a lot of parties we have someone that will ask, "how long have you been doing this?" "How did you get started?"
As you read this, as I was living it, at that time a lot of it wasn't funny. That was then, now it made me laugh at my life. Thank you, God, for having a sense of humor.

Party Critters
Someone asked, "do you have a petting zoo you can bring?" I thought about it and decided we could add that. It would be fun.
We bought 2 baby rabbits, we had to buy cages, bedding and water bottles. They had to be gentle and not bite or scratch, so we put them in the house so they'd be handled a lot.
I decided that just rabbits wasn't a very good petting zoo, what could I add? (Somebody should have slapped me).
We saw an ad for 2 Guinea Pigs for $40 with their cage, we got them. What a mistake -they only lasted 2 weeks, they don't do anything but squeal day and night.
We bought a Mini Horse cause he was only 21" tall and the kids would love it.
Storm wanted a Baby Goat, well, I couldn't just buy 1, it needed a buddy, so we bought 2 females. They were only a week old and had to be bottle fed every 2 hours. (leave it to Florida to freeze that night, we brought them in the house, put them in the hallway. overnight 2 baby goats ate the linoleum off the floor, ate the insulation from around the hot water heater, ate the dryer vent, ate a hole in the wall and ate the door facing).
A few months later, Storm says, "why don't we have Baby Goats?" Back to the auction and bought a Billy Goat. (now we have to build a goat pen because the horse fence doesn't keep them in).
Now I find out that the big horses don't like the little mini horse and they are going to seriously hurt him kicking and biting, so he's by himself all the time. We have to buy him a buddy, hello "Charlie". (the mini horses can walk between the wire around the pasture, we have to fence off a separate pasture for them).
Somebody asked if we had a chicken, back to the auction, we bought 2 Silkie Chickens. (now to keep the coyotes from getting them, we need to build a chicken coop).
Now we had 3 goats, 2 chickens, 2 mini horses and 2 rabbits to take to parties.
How are we going to keep up with them at the parties? We bought a portable fence (they are expensive). Now we have a fence to carry around.
At a party we were given 3 Ducks. We had to buy a Pond and a cage for them. Now we have to carry around a Duck and it's Pond. (to keep the dogs from killing them, they needed a fenced area of their own, more fence posts and wire).
Storm wants a snake. We buy a Python. Buy a cage, water dish, hidey hole log, heat lamp, thermometers, humidity thingy. We have to buy mice once a week. Did you know they come in Pinkies, Fuzzies, Hoppers? Ok, we take the snake with us to buy mice so they can tell me which ones I need.
Now it's time to go to small, medium and large mice and only feed every two weeks. All of a sudden he is eating 3 large mice every 10 days and then he looks for more for 3 days. Back to the pet store, they say, "you can start feeding him rats," I look at the rats. Nope, not me! Then comes the day we go to pet store, no mice, we go to 6 more pet stores, no mice. Sold out. He goes 17 days without eating, something has to be done.
I go buy a rat. It's 20 miles to the closest pet store. They put the rat in a cardboard box (more like paper). I'm driving home, the box starts moving, you can hear him chewing on the box------oh, oh, oh, his nose is out. I grab the box and swing it back and forth, I figure with it swinging he can't chew it - if he gets out of that box I'm getting out of the truck while it's going down the road. He is now eating 1 or 2 rats every 15 days at $5 to $9 per rat.
You guessed it! Now we have rat cages and are raising rats. I figure if it gets out of hand I'll make the cats happy. (why why why have I got all these critters to feed and clean up after)?
Lady calls to book a party. "Do you have a Donkey?" No. We do now! (can't believe my hubby hasn't killed me yet).
Look, there's a Mini Pig for sale. Yep, we now have a Pig to carry around. (we need a cage for the pig and her and the ducks hate each other, so we have to fence off another area for the pig, more fence posts and wire). Guess what? For the next week we got to chase the pig down every morning - they are serious escape artists. (go buy stuff to bury all along the bottom of the fence so she can't root under it).
Well, somebody lied, the mini pig now weighs 65 pounds and it's just to big to lug around when it refuses to walk on a lead. Sell the mini pig. The next 10 phone calls for a party say, "oh, I want the pig". Start hunting a pig.
Yikes! Teacup Pigs are $500 and up. I can't pay that. Ohh Look!!! Teacup Pigs $25 each, housebroken, will only weigh between 7 and 10 pounds. Make the call, find out why they are only $25 (family emergency). Okay, what's the address, I want a female? Oh, you are only 3 hours away, be there tomorrow morning. Ended up buying 4 females and a male.
Got to build shelters for all of them. Need to find dishes for food and water. Oh my God, they attack you when you go thru the gate with food.
Lots of places don't have any shade, now we need a Canopy so all the animals will be in the shade. Something else to carry around. (those things are a pain to put up and take down, allow another 1/2 hour for each party to do that).
We used to saddle 2 horses/ponies, load and go to the party. Spend 15 minutes decorating them. Do the party, go home.
NOW we load the canopy, travel cages for the duck, pig, rabbit and the individual wooden fences for each of them. Make sure you get the screw in the ground stakes for the goat and the mini horse and the donkey. Don't forget the duck pond and water to fill it. You need 8 lead ropes (2 extra in case), the pig harness, 2 saddles, 2 saddle pads, the step stool, apple juice for the horses. Load the Python and his cage. Horse decoration box, hand
sanitizer, address, licenses, paperwork on all the animals.
Did anybody brush all the animals? Take the grooming kit. This party has face painting, don't forget to load the face paint bag, table and chairs. Let's go, we got 78 miles to go.
The party is usually anywhere from an hour to 2 hours. Unload and setup. Time to go, load it up. 78 miles home. Unload everything, feed all the animals, feed us, bathtime, nite-nite. We got to start loading at 8 am tomorrow, first party is in Ellenton, 2 1/2 hours away.
We are going on 13 years. It's a good thing I love what I do.
We have a lot of fun, at most parties the kids and adults are just great to us. In the summer when it's 95 degrees I wonder why I do this. But honestly, I can't imagine not doing it.
This isn't counting the crap we went thru when we were turned in to USDA for not being licensed. I didn't know you needed a license for a petting zoo, I thought USDA was for meat you eat. Between the feed bills, vet bills and the money that I pay out in licenses and insurance - maybe I'll break even. Oh well, that's life. At least I'm having fun.

Horse Slaughter in Florida
People that know me and family members will tell you that I'm not a violent person. I don't like to fight and don't like to watch "blood sports" of any kind.
I have owned, bred and rescued Pitt Bulls for over 15 years. I don't believe in dog fights. There is no better dog anywhere as far as loyalty goes than a Pitt. If raised correctly they are lovable, gentle, well behaved and will protect you with their life. Pitts have a bad reputation because of the people that keep them caged, on chains, feed them gunpowder, starve them and do whatever else they can to make them fight. Pitt Bulls are "Catch Dogs" and they will bring something down that runs from them. If mine goes after something and I yell "SIT" her butt will hit the ground and bounce, but she will stop and that is what counts.
Our Horses though are another story. Horses don't hurt anyone, they don't bite or chase kids or kill other animals. Most of all they are not meat for human consumption. As many horse owners as there are why can't we stop them from slaughtering them?
If you are caught illegally slaughtering a horse, not your own, one you stole somewhere and cut meat off it while it was still alive, not caring how it suffered - you will get up to one year in jail and up to a $3,500 fine.
In the Florida Statutes, if the horse is a Registered Horse then the jail time and fine is more. WHY? My grade mares and geldings are just as important as a Registered Horse.
I have been doing research on GPS Tracking for animals. There are quite a few out there for both cats and dogs. Some of these tracking devices allow you, the owner, to track your animal on your home computer or your cell phone. Some of them even allow you to put in boundaries and if the animal leaves that area you are notified by text or phone call. All of them are collars with fairly large units attached to them.
A company called Tractive has one but it is to big to use on your horse, someone stealing the horse would see it and simply remove it. Garmin and Home Again both have them but again they are to big. Why can't one be made small enough to put on our horses bridle? There are several out there that you can get and pay for a service to track them. I don't want a Service to do it, I want to be able to pull up GPS on my phone if it shows my horse has left his allowed area and track him. I can promise that I won't slap them on the hand for stealing him or trying to slaughter him. I won't give him a bed to sleep in, cable tv, exercise equipment and 3 meals a day. Having my horse in their possession would make me be the judge and jury and they would not do it to another horse ever..

OBama Care - They don't have the right to do this!
I sincerely hope that there are lots of comments left on this subject. I have not been keeping up and just started to really pay attention a few days ago. I went to this website and started reading, the more I read, well, I just couldn't believe it.
I really want comments on how you feel about this, what you are going to do and any advice for the rest of us. If anyone knows options we have, ideas that may help us - comment on this and help any of us who need it. If nothing else, get it off your chest if you feel like I do.
I thought I lived in America, Land of the Free. Where does the government get off telling you that you have to purchase health insurance? I drove a school bus for 11 years, my health insurance was covered as a part of my job. To add my husband and my daughter to it the price was over $500 per month. If I had spent $500 a month on insurance, it would not have done me any good to work because I would not have had enough money to pay my bills.
My daughter turned 20 in August and when I went into the hospital to have her and that was the last time I seen any type of doctor. If I had been paying insurance for the last 20 years at say, $140 per month (and I doubt that I could get it for that amount), that would be $33,600. That would have been just throwing the money away since I haven't been to a doctor.
I was taken to the emergency room in Bartow recently. I spent two nights in a hospital bed, had surgery the next afternoon and went home the next morning. The bill I received is for $45,390.59, but it says on the bill, the discounted amount I owe is only $16,340.61. I had no health insurance, no medicare or medicaid, yet they are giving me a discount of $29,049.98.
What that amounts to in my mind is they were going to charge me $29,049.98 more if I had insurance, since I didn't, they would charge me less so that everyone would get paid. No wonder insurance premiums are so high, when you go to the hospital or doctor you charged more than double the amount if you have insurance.
And, to go one step further in proving that, I called around last week to get a dermatologist appointment to have a mole removed. I called 5 different places to compare prices. If I had insurance the office visit was $150 to $185, if I didn't have insurance, the office visit was between $70 and $100.
All of the people I know just barely get by as it is. None of us drive new or fancy vehicles, we don't live in half a million dollar homes, we don't have vacation homes or fancy boats. With what we make we have clothes to buy for ourselves and our kids, vehicle insurance, tags, property taxes, groceries, school supplies, pet food, vet bills, vehicle repairs, house payments, electric bills, phone bills, internet service - then you have Christmas, Graduations, Funerals, Weddings - there is no money left.
I manage to get my bills paid all year and wait on my tax refund check to be able to pay my property taxes and now OBama Care is going to take part of that if I don't pay for health insurance.
I don't know about the rest of you out there, but I don't have an extra $100 or more each month to pay for health insurance. My pickup has over 200,000 miles on it, if I had extra money it would be used to make a truck payment before this one breaks down permanently.

Xxterra Horror Stories are TRUE - sarcoid update
First the Good News - the sarcoid we were treating on her face is gone and the wound has healed. The vet said to keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't come back (10% of them come back a 2nd time and 2% come back a 3rd time and there isn't any info on it coming back a 4th time).
It took 37 days from the first treatment of the Xxterra. But the hair is growing back and it just left a small scar on her face. I'm praying we are done with this one and it won't come back.
*********************
We are on Day 48 on her shoulder and it is still an open wound. We are on Day 45 on her right front leg and it is still an open wound.
They are ugly but it has not been as bad as all the internet articles said it would be. She didn't even really mind me putting the Xxterra on the one on her face and the one on her leg. She got a little cranky with the one on her shoulder on the 8th Day of using the Xxterra.
*********************
This one is a nightmare!
On August 5th I started watching one on her tummy, wasn't sure if it was a sarcoid or not. On August 28th the vet looked at it and said, "start treating it." I believe this is where the horror stories started. The ones that were on her face, shoulder and leg were on areas that didn't touch any other areas when she moved. The one on her tummy is maybe a finger width in front of where her leg goes into her body. Every time she moves the skin behind the sarcoid touches where the Xxterra is . The other 3 we've been treating were not in "tender" spots. She was okay with the 1st treatment, that was it. It took 7 days to get an open wound. By the 3rd day she was trying to get away from me as I applied it, on the 4th day I had to have help holding her cause she was trying her best to kick me. The 4th, 5th and 6th day it took 3 of us to put it on her.
The Xxterra made an open wound where the skin was touching the area where I was treating the sarcoid. The sarcoid didn't turn into an open wound until the 13th day. Now the wound is twice the size of what it should have been. The part where the sarcoid is looks like all the others I've treated, ugly, but looking better everyday. The wound behind it, where nothing was wrong, except for the Xxterra touching the skin, is horrible. It had infection starting in it so that I've put her on antibiotics as you can't mix another drug or chemical where the Xxterra has been.
If any of them are going to come back a 2nd or even a 3rd time, PLEASE God, don't let it be this one!
Day 5 - you can see where the piece of skin is behind the sarcoid that the Xxterra is effecting.
Day 7 - you can see where the wound is starting on the healthy area.
Day 9 - healthy area has pus in it and sarcoid is not even a wound yet.
Day 13 - sarcoid is now a wound, but it should only be the size of the red circle. all the rest was healthy skin that the Xxterra was rubbing on. this one is going to be hard to heal (the others were) and this one is more than likely going to leave a good-sozed scar. Who knows at this point how much worse it's going to get before it gets better. Skyla doesn't even want me looking at it. Poor thing, I hope all this works and gets rid of them for good. I hate knowing that I may still have to put her down after putting her through all of this.

Sarcoid Update - Looking Pretty Good
We are on the 18th day of treatment on the shoulder. Day 8 it became an open wound and we have not been using the Xxterra. At this point we are watching it, waiting on the wound to heal and hoping it is gone and doesn't come back. There are 10% of horses that will get them back a 2nd time and have to do the treatment again. There are 2% of horses that will get them back a 3rd time and you have to do the treatment again. There doesn't seem to be any documentation of any horses getting them back for a 4th time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are on the 16th day of treatment for the one on her face. Day 4 it was an open wound, no more Xxterra. Now we watch it and wait on it to heal. It was a lot smaller than the shoulder and seems to be healing a lot faster. I feel good about this one and don't think it will come back.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are on the 15th day of treatment on her right front leg. It is the worst looking. On Day 6 it became an open wound so no more Xxterra. Watch and wait. This one hasn't even lost the scab totally yet and it is horrible looking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The one on her right side on the bottom part of her tummy is not being treated yet. I'm pretty sure it is a sarcoid, but want either the vets opinion or for it to do something so I know for sure before I use Xxterra on it. I have to go pick up some coggins the last of this week, I'll take her with me for him to look at it. This one will be awful to treat cause once it turns into an open wound it will be pulling every step she takes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The worst part of all this is Skyla was a lovable, in your pocket horse. She was born here and I have spoiled her and spent lots of time loving on her. She has been to quite a few Pony Parties, she smiles on command and the kids love her. Using Xxterra has make her into a "don't touch me" and "get away from me" horse. I hope once it's over that with a little time and a lot of love and attention she will go back to being a "pocket horse."

Sarcoid Update
I called the vet today because I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be watching for. The instructions for the Xxterra said to apply if daily until it swells and becomes an open wound. That part was easy. Then it said to watch it and if the process stopped working to re-apply. What did it mean by, "if process stops working?"
Vet said as long as the would was "raw" looking and it didn't show that the sarcoid was growing again it was working. So it looks like the one on her face is doing what it is supposed to do and the one on her leg should be an open wound tomorrow or the next day. The one on her shoulder is taking the longest to do anything.
It only took 3 days for the one on her face to swell and the 4th day it was an open wound. On her right front leg it was swollen on the 4th day, a little bit of bleeding on the 5th day. Her shoulder was swollen on the 6th day and today is the 8th day and it is still swollen but does not have any bleeding or has not turned into an open wound.
The horror stories on the internet from people who had supposedly used this on their horse are grossly exaggerated. From what I read and what the vets told me I was expecting after the first time putting it on her that she was going to try and kill me from then on until we were done.
The 1st application was on July 26th and was no problem. On July 30th she tried side-stepping away from me when I tried to apply it but nothing else. On Aug 1st it was a little harder, it took one person to hold her while I put it on. On Aug 2nd she tried to turn her butt to me but did not actually try to kick me. It may get worse as we are not done yet but it's nowhere near as bad as all the reviews made it sound.
Monday I will have to order a 2nd bottle of Xxterra as I don't want to run out and have to stop the treatment until they are gone. And I'm still waiting to see if the one on her left leg is a sarcoid or not. Yesterday I found another spot where her back leg meets the bottom of her stomach and I'm pretty sure that one is a sarcoid.
The vet said though that once I started treating them that it would make the sarcoid angry and it would turn aggressive and try to make other ones before I killed it. Sounds more like an "alien" than some type of cancer. The internet and the vet talks about when you mess with them they get angry - makes it sound as if it has a brain and can think, scary, huh?
Next update in a couple of days. Hope this is beneficial to someone out there that may have sarcoids on their horse and didn't know what to do about it. It seems that there is not very many vets who tell you about the Xxterra or they don't know about it themselves.

Sounds more like an "alien" than some type of cancer. The internet and the vet talks about when you mess with them they get angry - makes it sound as if it has a brain and can think, scary, huh?
Next update in a couple of days. Hope this is beneficial to someone out there that may have sarcoids on their horse and didn't know what to do about it. It seems that there is not very many vets who tell you about the Xxterra or they don't know about it themselves.
