My pain was in my back, below my shoulder blade. The second attack (that preceded the "wait for the first attack to heal so we can remove your gall bladder surgery" and forced the emergent removal of my gall bladder) was in my upper-right abdomen. I was in so much pain I was doubled-over. I was vomiting like it was my job. Apparently, gall bladder/gallstone pain can present in myriad ways. It can also mimic a heart attack. I'd go straight to the ER if you're having this type of pain. Not kidding.

3 Months, 10,000 photos, 100s of Hours, Still NO firm decision! In Nov, we removed a nasty behemoth of a brick fireplace that we lived with far too long. I've been stuck since then trying to decide what to replace it with. We have a style in my mind though it's been difficult to visualize. In a former life, I was a tech writer, so I've drawn many rough drafts. The biggest obstacle is that I know I change my mind more often than I'd like about my favorite styles. This makes me even more hesitant to make a decision. "What if I don't like it a few years from now!" I've never solicited an online resource for opinions, though I've used Houzz for inspiration and motivation for over 10 years. At this point, however, I need an intervention! My spouse is very helpful (in telling me what he doesn't like) but ultimately, within reason, the decision is mine. We are not looking to spend a small fortune; this is an update, not a remodel. In my Ideabook 'Fireplace/Fam Rm Remodel', I've listed (way too many) ideas, pics of the old fireplace, inspiration photos, and other uploads if any of you would care to wade through them with me! Fireplace/Fam Rm Update Oh... and lastly, we are avid, passionate DIYers with a full woodworking shop in the basement. THANK YOU - more than you can imagine! Design Must-haves: Neutral tones Budget <10k Stone and wood mix (MSI *Sierra Blue or Alaska Gray) (Mid-tone white oak, teak is too spendy for this project.) Floating or flush/floor hearth Plenty of display shelving Oak Flooring, mid-tone to match existing. Design Dilemmas: - TV above or adjacent to the gas fireplace? Hubby says adjacent, I say above; neither is a deal-breaker. We rarely light a fire, so high temps/TV is not an issue. Height is also not relevant as we could purchase a MantelMount. - Stacked stone. A full wall, 3/4 wall or only @ fireplace? - Thin, wood trim installed vertically to separate stone and painted wall? - Lighting, which will be a simpler choice down the road.

Wait a couple days after you thoroughly soak the plant. Sometimes when you see water come out the bottom it is just going down the sides, and the inside root ball is dry. Lift the plant (get a friend if it is too heavy, or turn it on its side and slide it out sideways and take a good look at the roots. Fork around to the center of the roots to see if the whole rootball is getting wet. Citrus should get fertilized once a month year round. Better to err on the lighter side for a container plant, but be consistant. I think the leaves look like sun scald. Fertilizer burn on most of my plants shows up around the edges of the leaves. A tablespoon of vinegar in a couple gals of water should take care of alkaline water problems. Plants need minerals too, and distilled water has all those romoved. Sometimes too much love and care can kill a plant. Go out there twice a week and give it a drink and relax. You can always buy meyer lemons locally. -Babka (from down here in Silicon Valley).
