Problem: Article: If you're driving in a carpool lane, your tolls will generally be cheaper. Consider carpooling to work to avoid paying hefty tolls. You can network with coworkers who live in your area. See if they would be interested in carpooling to work on a regular basis. Some people pick up hitchhikers to avoid tolls. You should refrain from doing so, as toll workers may get suspicious and this can also be dangerous. This is an electronic toll payment that sometimes offers cheaper rates than paying tolls directly. For example, crossing the Verrazano Bridge without an EZ pass costs $16. Crossing it with an E-Z Pass is only $11.08. There are usually not specific requirements to sign up for an E-Z Pass. However, your car needs to be registered in New York. E-Z pass has a variety of plans to choose from. Browse plans before settling on one to find a plan that's cost effective for you. Tolls do increase all the time. Even with an E-Z Pass box, and when taking the carpool lane, you could be in for a sudden increase in price. Make sure to be vigilant when going through a toll road. Listen to how much you're being charged. If tolls go up suddenly, consider looking for an alternative route with cheaper tolls or no tolls.
Summary: Carpool. Invest in an E-Z Pass account and box. Watch out for increases in tolls.

Problem: Article: About 15-18 days into the pregnancy, a queen's nipples will "pink up," or become red and enlarged. Her breasts may enlarge, and she may express a milky fluid. Enlarged nipples are also signs of being in heat, so bear in mind that growing nipples are not exclusively indicative of pregnancy. From the side, pregnant cats frequently look somewhat swaybacked, with a slightly round and bulging abdomen. Many female cats assume this burro shape later in pregnancy. If your cat is merely overweight, she'll be heavier all over, including her neck and legs, and not just in her abdomen. A few days before she'll give birth, your cat will begin showing nesting behaviors as she prepares for the arrival of her litter. Your cat may go to a quiet place like a closet and start arranging blankets, towels, or other fabric to create a place to give birth to her kittens. If you notice nesting behavior and you hadn't previously realized your cat was pregnant, take your cat to the vet as soon as possible for a prenatal checkup.
Summary:
Check for enlarged nipples. Look for a characteristic "burro" shape. Notice any nesting behavior.
