I like receiving gifts, I like buying gifts and I really like this: “...my deep desire to surprise people I love with gifts they never knew they wanted or needed.”

Many years ago, I put French dressing on spaghetti one time, and only once, because I loved French dressing on pizza, and I still love French dressing on pizza. French spaghetti was awful and I imagine Ranch spaghetti would be far more awful.

I retired in 2017, and in recent months, my bedtime routine is falling asleep in a recliner in the living room at 12:45 am while listening to a podcast. Then I’ll wake up at 1 am, go to bed and sleep until 10 am. This is a better routine than the one I had in my years of working at the local newspaper, when I would…

I will apply, because at 68 years old, this is my dream job.

I thought the whole point of taking a walk with someone was to talk about work.

I love Apple News+. That’s all I need.

That’s the Hallmark Lady!

“Jerk” was my Dad’s favorite word and I always liked the way he said it.

What am I if I sleep 1 to 10 am and my peak work time starts at 3 pm?

I’d like to have a stress ball for a Zoom meeting. I’m 68 and retired. What are the best stress-ball brands?

You’re welcome. I’m looking forward to watching “Coastal Elites” and “The Invisible Man” and I need to watch “A Star is Born” before it leaves.

I’m a loyal Goodreads member, but LT sounds like an interesting option. Actually, it would be more of an add-on for the books and music I like or I want. It would be cool if I could link LT to the Hoopla library app, where I can listen to the first two George Harrison solo albums: “Wonderwall Music” and “Electronic…

Elizabeth Moss is Elisabeth Moss. I think.

I would also like to see Michael Lewis, Malcolm Gladwell and Jennifer Egan interviewed for How I Work and I have one recommendation: Anna David, the writer and podcaster who runs Launch Pad Publishing. BTW, your interview with Charles Duhigg is a keeper.

Rob Walker is the man! Glad he’s writing for Lifehacker!

“Instant Grits” is back with the Pels.

They have made me a new fan down here in South Mississippi.

“grown women”?
