    The realities of socialized health care: share your experiences

    What is it you want that you aren't getting? I'm not seeing anything in your story that suggests you can't get access (I work in medicine). You might just need to figure out who to go to and how to navigate your insurance.

    NBD: Zon Sonus

    Spalted bubinga! You can't see all of it as it is hidden by the ramp. Beautiful walnut body, too. Basically we're giving a free plug for Zon here. Enjoy your bass!!

    NBD: Zon Sonus

    Yup! I also have a TJ6 (that I ordered a decade ago this year...time flies).

    NBD: Zon Sonus

    I remember that bass. It's a really, really great setup. The "special" pickup arrangement with soapbars is one of my two favorites, and the spalted alder sounds great. That's a killer grab. I love my Zons.

    Skervesen Guitars

    As someone who has had a bunch of custom instruments made over the years (and four from Skerv- a fifth soon, once I can figure out the specs)- the one thing I'd recommend is moderation. Going for something like a poplar burl with a greenburst then a top grade snakewood fingerboard with black...

    Shipping a guitar with a cocobolo neck from USA to Europe (CITES??)

    You are totally fine. The category and subcategory cocobolo fits into is not regulated heavily in finished product form, just raw wood. You're fine.

    Starting over in your 30's, major life direction change

    Yup, which is why if you know you want to do a PhD, you start doing research as early as possible (often with a couple different labs over the course of the 4 years, unless you stumble upon a great group doing research in field that interests you). The most ideal thing would be if you could find...

    Starting over in your 30's, major life direction change

    In response to this (and to the OP), I think it is worth clarifying: If you do another undergrad and do research during your undergrad, you do NOT need to get a Master's, and you do do NOT need to do research assistant work. You can (and should attempt to) complete you BS then apply...

    Disrespectful work superior: what to do?

    As others have stated, I would strongly recommend you reassess this strategy, or at the very least, have another coworker watch it occur and see if their assessment matches with your impression of how it went. I bet it won't match up with how you think you looked. Professionalism doesn't go...

    Disrespectful work superior: what to do?

    Very good recommendations have been given above. Be very professional and speak with him directly first. It's a tough position but it is best to be direct and apolitical. Whatever you do, absolutely do not do this please. You'll seem unstable and unprofessional. You aren't a teenager so...

    Spider bite

    If you have a fever of >100.5F and it persists longer than a day, call them. They may want you to come in sooner in that case.

    Spider bite

    Nah, you can't tell that from looking at it. The redness could be the spider bite. They often get secondarily infected while draining, which is why he's on antibiotics, but even then you wouldn't know it was MRSA (versus other staph or bacterial infections) by looking at it- you'd have to...

    Skervesen Guitars

    Not even in the slightest, and I own two MM JPs and an Ibanez UV777GR and a PG. If you are basing this off of the stuff on youtube, you are completely subject to whatever post-processing is done on the guitar. My current Skervesens, and the first 6 string I ordered from them a from years...
