than merely turning it on in the middle of the day or evening. Have a great
weekend....working or not and hope you find enjoyment in my humble
offerings....... .

I don't know what a bucket list is.

donated a certain amount in your name to a charity...would you feel hurt?
I would not feel affected.
4. Do you believe that 'service' people like the mail man and the trash man,

Like what? We all work for our paychecks. They don't like their jobs and I sure as heck don't like mine, but we pretty much have no other viable alternative. We must be miserable most of the time in order to be happy some of the time, competing for things we don't need. That is the way our society works, unfortunately.

No
6. Are you going to celebrate New Years at home this year?
Most likely

Yes, but I am biased

I wouldn't think so
10. Do you prefer following family traditions to the letter or do you like to
forge new ones?
