myboxofjunk says "Softest, Cutest Little Thing" about Chinchilla

myboxofjunk — Thu, 14 May 2009 00:59:27 GMT

I own a Chinchilla and he is the most adorable thing on earth. He is so soft and cute.

Chinchillas are not hard to care for. It is no more than owning a cat or dog. Because of the thick, soft fur, chinchillas do not attract pests such as fleas and ticks. Insects will suffocate, so there is a bonus.

Their diet mainly contains berries and nuts and lots of Timothy Hay. They do have a sensitive stomach, therefore you have to be careful of what you feed it. You can buy chinchilla food at pet stores such as PetsMart and Petco. You can even buy some hamster foods that contains nuts and berries for chinchillas.

When they speak, they can bark or chirp. They are very fast when you let them run and they can squeeze into narrow spaces, so make sure you watch them carefully. They can also jump up to 3 feet.

The dust bath is the most important part in the care of the chinchilla. They need the bath to clean their fur in order for it to maintain its softness and fluffiness.

Otherwise, Chinchillas...

myboxofjunk says "Good Litter" about Scoop Away Fresh Scent Cat Litter

I have three cats with one that is a diabetic. Being on insulin, my one cat urinates a lake (I swear a fish could swim in it if possible). Finding a litter that holds tight, doesn't stick the litter box, and locks odors is hard to find.

I have tried Scoop Away and it does work nicely. However, the litter sometimes doesn't hold clumps, especially large ones and it is dusty when you pour it into a litter box. It doesn't stick as bad as some brands to the box, but it still sticks at times.

It does help minimize strong urine scents. However, when used for more than week or so, the litter box does start to stink like urine.

Not a bad brand of litter, however there is cheaper brand that is a little bit better than this one.

myboxofjunk says "Awesome Movie" about Iron Man

I'm not into all the Marvel comic strip movies that have been coming out, nor am I into the comic strips in general. However, I went with my boyfriend to see this movie with him and I was surprised.

At first, I was really bored because it was moving slow and I had no idea about Iron Man and all his things. However, the movie got better and there was more action going on. There was humor throughout the film which would make you laugh.

The stunts and the visual effects and animations were excellent. The storyline was great and it all seemed real, like it was happening right now. The actors were great, and they couldn't pick another actor to play Tony Stark than Robert Downey, Jr.

If you're into action movie and some humor, spend a night watching Iron Man.

myboxofjunk says "Reasonably Priced Courses" about Texas Roadhouse - Butler, PA

myboxofjunk — Thu, 14 May 2009 00:17:40 GMT

Texas Roadhouse in Butler, PA is a nice steakhouse restaurant. It is actually reasonably priced, especially for steak. The rolls are excellent and even better when you match it with the cinnamon butter they present it with. Yum!

The food is of western style, meaning steak and ribs are big items on the menu. The baked potatoes (russet and sweet) are nice sized and delicious. Texas Roadhouse has two different kids menus. One for young kids that are about 12 and under. It offers kids' favorites such as hot dogs, chicken tenders, and even a steak. The other kids meal menu is called Ranger Meals and features smaller portions of adult size meals, like ribs and steak. So, if your child is big eater, but can't eat a full adult meal, it's the perfect pick. I'm older than 12, but I still order off the Ranger Meals because it is the perfect size meal for me. I'm small and not a big eater. The Onion Blossons are very good and pretty big.

The atmosphere is a bit western. At certain times and to certain...

myboxofjunk says "Unique and Different Menu Items" about North Country Brewing Co - Slippery Rock, PA

The North Country Brewing Company in Slippery Rock, PA is a great place. It is a little on teh expensive side, but well worth a night out with good food. The food is different and not what you will find in other restaurants. For example, there is an Elk Burger and frog legs on the menu. Yes, it has Elk meat and is a nice size burger and it is frog legs. If you like hummus, mushrooms, artichokes, and zucchini and other veggies on the unique side, give this restaurant a try.

The atmosphere is country/backwoods, therefore it is a relaxing environment with friendly and fast service. The restroom has the most unique sink and faucet. You have to see it to believe it. Anyway, the flooring is wooded, the tables are and look like they are from whole tree stumps. The dining area is set up like a house. There is a mirror, and fireplace stand with flowers in a vase on it, etc. If you are claustophobic in tight places and don't like be close to a neighboring table, then you might want to visit earlier...
