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...

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.

As a feminist, I hate to say this, but has anyone else noticed that male cats tend to make better pets than females I've had lots of cats, and the males always seem to be more relaxed and friendly, while the females tend to be...

ZimaMcHotpants Keep in mind, I use the term personality to describe the richness, the variance, of the personality of the animal. Chill calm cats don't not have personality, but their personalities aren't very interesting in the traditional sense. They don't keep you...

ZimaMcHotpants I think that the reason this point was made is because it assumes that eventually, once the degreed person catches up, they have the experience. They are not worse at their job than the experienced person at that point, and due to the value of the degree they...

ZimaMcHotpants But, keep in mind, whether or not it is good or fair, people without degrees have less access to jobs like your mom has. Society is an important factor. Once the educated person gains experience, it is probable that their salary will be equal then surpassing...

In Carlisle,PA, students can go online to check which machines at any of the laundry rooms on campus are available. They can then use their student ID cards to pay. If the laundry room is busy, the system will text them when a...

ZimaMcHotpants My school had that system too, and believe me when I say it doesn't work really well. College dorm laundry-doing is like a close-contact sport. By the time one gets the message, some waiting person will have dumped your previously clean clothes onto the diry...

If yes, how's it going? I have a 14 year old girl and an 11 year old boy. It's not easy. They are good kids, but we do have our moments. She has a boyfriend. Many think 14 is too young for boyfriend girlfriend...

ZimaMcHotpants I don't have a teenager, but I am 22 with a 19 year old brother and I wanted to say that though boys seem easier, they aren't. They just don't tell you anything. Girls scream and shout over nothing, I know because I did it. I never touched drugs, or alcohol...
