Dear C, I couldn’t believe it when my daughter told me, but I looked it up online and it’s true – scientists are actually using psychedelic drugs to treat patients with psychiatric disorders! I did acid twice back in the 60s as a teen, but from what I experienced, it seems like tripping would drive […]
The number of primary care physicians in the US today is dwindling. Nearly a third of the population lacks access to primary care and those numbers are only going to rise – a shortage of more than 52,000 primary care physicians is anticipated by 2025. I spoke with Dr. E, a primary care doctor who […]
If you’ve never seen Stefan Couture perform live, then June 10 at Chan’s in Woonsocket is the night to do it. Couture was nominated as one of the best singer/songwriters in Motif’s 2022 poll, and his newest collection, A Brief and Binding Light, clearly shows why. The album will drop on all streaming platforms on […]
Dear C, There’s a guy I am really attracted to in my political science class. Sometimes I think that he’s interested in me too, but it’s hard to tell since I only see him in class. I’d really like to find out, but it isn’t as simple as approaching him at a party or casually […]
Dear C, I think that my friend Padma is making a huge mistake, but nothing I say makes a dent. Padma has been married for 12 years and has 3 children, the youngest in his mid-teens. The older kids are in college. She and her husband Mark run a travel agency together. The business is […]
Dear C, There have been a lot of food shortages lately, but at least I can go online and find explanations for it – Avian bird flu, the scarcity of wheat since Russia went ballistic, etc, etc. But one of the oddest shortages is the disappearance of sugar-free hard candy from all of the discount […]
Dear C: When my daughter was living in our home, I had a rule: “No tattoos until you are grown enough to make adult decisions!“ She was good about it – until she left home and covered her arms with so many tattoos that when people see her in a sleeveless patterned blouse, they think […]
Dear C: My boyfriend Stan won’t listen to me, and I need some backup. He is recovering from pneumonia after having had Omicron just a month before. He eats too much junk food to begin with, but when he was quarantined with Omicron, he couldn’t be bothered to cook and ate nothing but processed foods. […]
Dear C: I do not ever look at my phone every 2 minutes to see if a girl I’m dating called me. I don’t text a second time when I don’t get a prompt answer the first time and I don’t invite a girl I am dating to every event in my life after I […]
Dear C: I have a complaint. Don’t take it personally, but women suck. There just isn’t anything that makes them happy. I haven’t had much success with relationships, so I decided to take some advice from Lianna, my roommate’s girlfriend. She told me that I was stuck in the last century with my macho attitude. […]
