The problem with working at a shelter is you just want to help the #Animals, but you end up seeing the worst of humanity. Bad combo. #Singles #loveintheair #newyork-single.com

First Date Ideas for the Boston Single

When you’re going out on the first date and discovering someone new, it’s essential to find a place that will allow you to get to know each other while still letting you relax and be natural. Boston has several great spots that make excellent first date destinations. If you’re out in the afternoon and would like to take a walk, try the beautiful Boston Common and PublicGarden or the Arnold Arboretum. Or check out the animals at the Franklin Park Zoo or the New England Aquarium.

Uncompromising political / philosophical opinion follows. If you don't like it, move on. That's free advice. :- )

Skimming around the blog-o-sphere, we see plenty of commenters demanding that we remember about "sample size" (sic). For example, the comments by djw and westside guy in this thread.

An Animal-themed Outing for Your Next Date

Not everyone gets the chance to wander the face of the Earth and see all that it has to offer with their own eyes. So for those that love animals but don’t have the time and money, an animal-themed date could be just the thing for a fun day out. Check out the Franklin Park Zoo to get a glimpse of some exotic creatures from all around the world, from lions and tigers to gorillas and kangaroos. Or head to the New England Aquarium if you prefer the company of sea turtles, sharks and penguins.

Spend Your Date with the Animals

If you and your loved one enjoy exotic and beautiful animals, consider making your next date animal-themed. There are several great places in and around Austin to visit and spend a fun date checking out creatures from around the world. The obvious choice for enjoying some time with the animals is to hit up the Austin Zoo. This zoo has a unique claim to fame in that the vast majority of its animal residents are rescues. Or travel a bit southwest out to Animal World and Snake Farm, one of the area’s most popular ways to view everything from wild animals to a variety of reptiles.

Easy service project

Every year, our local 4-H organization participates in the Soils and Crops Conference. Last year we attended, and we had to leave a bit early because Wood Sprite was bored and restless. It’s difficult for a seven-year-old to sit through a bunch of speeches and awards, after all, and there’s not a lot for children to do at the event. We do, however, always create a basket of goodies to donate as a raffle item to help generate funds for 4-H club.

Which is worse: Dogs or kids in shopping carts?

I have heard a lot of people complain about people who bring their small dogs to the grocery store and put them in the child seat of a grocery cart. I understand why people object, but frankly, I think they are pretty wrong.

What’s Happening: Fukushima radiation

According to USA Today, radiation from the Fukushima disaster three years ago will be soon hitting the West Coast. Scientists say that it will be a very small amount that will not harm humans or the environment.
