What are you doing for New Year’s 2011?
As it is with most people during their busy holiday seasons, I always have an issue with figuring out what the heck I’m going to do for New Year’s Eve every year and usually push it off until last minute. Most of the time, I end up at Killington after about 4+ hours of driving through the blusteriest obstacles you can possibly imagine and get there around the ball drop super stressed and not able to pin down that NYE random kiss :-* Last year I celebrated with Bokx 109 in Newton thanks to an amazing Twitter giveaway–which was an amazing dinner TYVM. This year, I’m celebrating with Boston Event Guide at their Resolution Ball, which I have been interested in checking out over the past few years.. I just didn’t have a date! I...
@NickDodman OCD in Dogs: You are not alone. Tips and tricks from one dog-owner to another
You think you’ve seen it before on the Dog Whisperer. Unfortunately, it exists more than just on TV. My Lilia has OCD (she chases shadows and lights) and she has been super aggressive towards other dogs when I walk her. Hancock Animal Hospital in Quincy was able to diagnose her and give her Clomicalm once daily but nothing was really helping. Enter the New England version of Cesar.. only better. I first heard of Dr. Nicholas Dodman, author of Dogs Behaving Badly: An A-Z Guide to Understanding and Curing Behavorial Problems in Dogs from the behaviorist at my local Petco. He’s located at Tufts Veterinary Hospital in Grafton, MA and pretty darn expensive, so I was hoping he would be worth the $421 to see him for an hour and a half. I’ve...

Surviving a Breakup: 8 Undeniable Tips
Breakups are painful. The unexpected breakup is excruciatingly painful. In the dating marketplace there is nothing more destabilizing than an unexpected breakup. The hurt, pain, and self-doubt can be overwhelming. Hours spent reflecting upon your former relationship can feel endless. “What did I do wrong?” becomes an enticing, all-consuming question. The temptation to wallow in grief can overpower your drive to move forward. As torturous as breakups can be, there is an upside… I can tell you (with absolute confidence) these feelings will dissipate over time, and you will find love again. Relationships end for several reasons; the rationale for terminating a connection can be perplexing or obvious. Regardless of the circumstances, everyone...
Dating Advice Pop Music Style
I love Pop music. I am a Pop music junkie! If Pop music were edible I would eat it by the fistfuls. Beyonce, yes please. Lady Gaga, I’ll take seconds. If Rihanna’s music is for dessert, I’m staying. In fact, Rihanna’s latest single, “Only Girl (In The World)”, is so hot I’m taking it to go ! Personal life aside, Rihanna has cemented herself in pop history. Forget about her hairstyles or boyfriends, its Rihanna’s music which keeps us coming back for more. Her latest single, “Only Girl (In The World)” is infectious as it is intoxicating. Once you’re drawn in by the pulsating beat, you get lost in the lyrics. As for the lyrics, I find the chorus particularly intriguing. The chorus commands your attention: “Want you to make...
Quebec City: A Little Piece Of Europe Just North Of The Border – Part Three – Conclusion
…continued from deuxième partie. We found ourselves sitting out at on a patio at an Italian restaurant that overlooked the main thoroughfare—with a great view of a night club across the street complete with a massive disco ball illuminating the entire block with 1970’s flair and equivalent music to boot. The throngs of people wandering up and down the Grande Allée seemed endless and reminded us of many public events back home like the Feast of Saint Anthony in North End of Boston or Water Fire in Providence. If it weren’t for sheer exhaustion of an entire day exploring the city Stace and I would stayed out and partied with everyone well into the wee hours… That and the next day’s wonderful breakfast at the L’Arvidienne that Mireille and Serge...
The Madness of Dating
In the dating marketplace, you will be rejected and you will reject others. This is an inescapable (and often painful) aspect of the dating process. In order to be successful and forge ahead, here is the best piece of advice I can give you: never compromise and never apologize for your authentic self. We all have different relationship preferences. We have our own individual criteria for dating, and personal benchmarks for love. Some people are simply looking to “get laid”, and some are looking for love. Some people want short term, while others want long term. There are those who prefer blondes, and those who prefer brunettes; those looking for quality, and those striving for quantity… There are people seeking men who are similar to their...
