    Looking for a career change - how do I deal with lack of experience in desired field?

    So, I am currently in a career field that is very limited location-wise. I am a translator for the government, which means that I have to stay in the DC/Baltimore area in order to continue in this career field, since that is where the interested government agencies are located. I've been doing...

    farmer's market/csa experience

    I did a local organic CSA last year where we picked up our box every week for about $260 for the fall season. I also ordered free-range organic eggs. I loved the eggs, but honestly, I guess I'm one of the ones that doesn't like not being able to pick what I get. We got heads upon heads of...

    Argh! Surgery dilemma (gallbladder)

    Tricia, Thanks for sharing your story!!! I'm so glad to hear that you recovered well and quickly. I think the points you brought up are why I'm *kind* of leaning towards the surgery-- the potential pregnancy complications and the fact that if I wait until it gets really bad, I will most...

    Argh! Surgery dilemma (gallbladder)

    ImFiddy, Yes, I am saying that the gallstones are definitely there (both a CT scan and an ultrasound confirm-- I saw the pictures), but no one is 100% sure that I had a gallbladder attack because I didn't have the severe pain that usually accompanies a gallbladder attack. Both surgeons...

    Argh! Surgery dilemma (gallbladder)

    So, back in January, I went to the ER at about midnight after 3 hours of constant vomiting (about every 10 minutes) and upper back pain (not debilitating pain, but definitely nothing to shake off). While there, they did a CT and an ultrasound and diagnosed me as having gall stones and suffering...

    Tough decision - advice? input? (long)

    Heidi, Thank you so much for your reply; it means a lot having a vet (and the other cat owners out there!) validate what I'm feeling. I'm giving a few more things a try... DH and I talked about it and I don't think we could ever euthanize her, so I'm just going back to the drawing board...

    Tough decision - advice? input? (long)

    Thank you all so much for the suggestions!!! I actually purchased 4 brand new litter boxes today based on the suggestions here; 2 to replace my older ones (I read sometimes they can hold on to odors and offend cats' sensitive noses) and 2 additional ones. I read that I should put at least...

    Tough decision - advice? input? (long)

    When I took her to the vet in November for her yearly checkup (about 5-6 months after the peeing had started again), they took X-rays, did bloodwork, and they drew a sample from her bladder. Everything came back totally clean, which on the one hand was a relief (she was healthy!) but on the...
