Education is great, I'm pursueing it myself - do you think that once I've spent four to twelve years studying I should get more money then those in the field already, who have gained knowledge and experience from years on the job?...

experience vs education

ZimaMcHotpants Keep in mind, I'm not saying ALL college graduates eventually deserve more than people like your mother. I am creating a fictitious person who IS as skilled as your mother in the end. Like, if your mother was cloned mentally, and add an advanced degree. In...

I have tried everything that I can possibly think of to give my dog relief from his itchy skin. He scratches so much that he has sores on his back and his skin near the top of his tail is bright pink (working really hard on being...

ZimaMcHotpants Are you sure it's fleas? Because if it is, they should be manageable. Invest in a flea comb (essentially the same comb they use to check for headlice). If you swipe it along your dog's spine or shoulders, if he has fleas there will either be dark black specks...

So this season, Tyra stepped up to the plate for young girls and is forcing her contestants to be role models as they are meant to be. Models were told after the first photo shoot that they will not be allowed to smoke on camera....

ZimaMcHotpants It is every much the show's right to ban them from smoking, on or off camera. The girls have an amazing opportunity at their fingertips, and if they are willing to give it up to get a puff, then so be it. It just weeds out the ones who don't really want it. It...

The kitten my roommate adopted has developed a habit of not using her litterbox. I consider myself relatively well-versed in training and animal behavior, but I just can't think of any reason for her not to use it. She didn't have...

ZimaMcHotpants There is one other cat in the house, the boxes are in the basement where there is complete privacy, with two different sized litter boxes. For the rest read the previous comments. Maybe it's worms or another parasite causing her troubles.

ZimaMcHotpants I wish I could! Unfortunately she does it in our upstairs bathroom, where we don't see her. And we are all at work all day, so we can't follow her about just to see if she does. Maybe next time we will get lucky and catch her in the act though.

ZimaMcHotpants Thank you for the response. Our little girl has problems more with pooping inappropriately, not peeing. Plus, I work in a vet office. For all that a blocked cat needs to be taken to the vet ASAP, we have had 6 blocked kitties in the past week, all having...

ZimaMcHotpants It's doubtful he's scaring her, as they tend to chase each other about and play equally. Plus, he was away with me for the weekend last weekend and she did it anyway, on Saturday. Isn't this insane? lol

ZimaMcHotpants Yeah I would agree except she still uses her litterbox, often. She uses it AND every couple days poops on a towel lol. And as for the vet thing, I work in a vet's office. I wouldn't make an extra trip for this, but I spend 40 hours a week there so I might as...

ZimaMcHotpants I do, and all of these are really good ideas, except she had no issues for a MONTH. Nothing has changed in that month. I don't feed her in the basement, we moved one of the TWO litterboxes we have upstairs and she still did it. She's been to the vet so...

ZimaMcHotpants Good suggestions, but they don't work. She still uses the litterbox often, she just also poops on the towels or any other random cloth thing upstairs, maybe once every 2 days.

ZimaMcHotpants Actually, preschool/kindergarden is the perfect and ideal time to teach kids when it is an isn't appropriate to talk. Your daughter's teacher is trying to teach her a valuable lesson for when she reaches first grade, when she will be expected to be quiet and...

Bones had a good solid season premiere. A skull in the windshield to start things rolling and set in motion what is probably a season long returning theme of the secret cannibal society. Zack returning was really not a suprise,...

ZimaMcHotpants I bet there will be more to Zack's return than just him not fitting in. When asked about it, he refused to talk about it, and went straight to work after looking extremely unhappy. I have a feeling something happened that will come up later on.

ZimaMcHotpants Global climate change is an extremely serious problem. It has already affected us so much. Storms like Hurricane Katrina will soon become commonplace, when for the US it was a suprise before. The USA ignores the ever-increasing instance of natural disasters...

ZimaMcHotpants I'm enjoying the change of scenery but I feel like they are basically returning to the same 2 concepts AGAIN: breaking out of prison, then being on the run once broken out. They spent an entire season on the first idea, another season on the second, now it...

When you have more than one book sitting in your "to-be-read" pile, how do you decide which one to read next? Do you read the one you really want to read, or do you save that one for last?

ZimaMcHotpants I read whatever I'm in the mood for next. If I feel shallow or ADD or I just want some entertaining stories, it's chick lit for me. If I am feeling studious or academic, I have nonfiction books about animals, psychology, and biology I can pick up. I don't...
