15. Here's a little something about me....
You can leave a wrapped gift on the table for three weeks and, even knowing it's for me, I won't ask about it, I won't touch it, I won't even think about it.

BUT, tell me that you have to tell me something and I jump out of my fuggin' skin waiting to find out what it is!

41. Writing scathing letters
I'm the person everyone at work comes to when they need a letter written to ream someone out. My letters are professional and not the least bit coarse but they are pointed, sharp, well reasoned and fairly devastating.

I wish I could figure out how to market it.

63. Yes. Thurs. Fri. Sat. & Sun. Every week...every day. Constantly!!! I've
been through the archives, at least all those published by Will Shortz. They're so clever. They help me to focus. I didn't like Eugene Maleska as an editor, even though that's how I got started. His writers focused too much esoteric knowledge. Those are not fun. Will Shortz prefers puzzles where, I swear, you can get EVERY answer if you just think hard enough. That's what I like; a challenge, not a test! Certainly there are reference to something obscure, and if you like learning, then you'll dig looking it up in a reference book. But mostly, he chooses puzzles that have twists and turns that can really keep you going on the hunt for just the right parallel. I have to pay something like 39 bucks a year to access and print them out. Paper must be toothy and pencil must be #2 mechanical with a white eraser. Pentel makes my favorite. The letters must be drawn neatly in the square and I don't write anything until I've checked it 4 ways. If the letter looks bad, it gets erased and replaced! I can't believe I'm telling you this! It's all true though. I'm a friggin connoisseur! :+

68. ok then can you solve this?
What should I do here:
I bought 4 Bose in-wall speakers. Due to the configuration of my walls, I had to install one of them just a few inches from an outlet. The manual said to give it a foot and a half, but I had no choice so just went for it. Sure enough, the speaker has a little buzz to it unless the volume is really low.

70. So where do you stand on the whole debate about the mystic minimalists
Will Paert or Tavener still be acknowledged in 50 years time?

Is Tavener just a 'long-haired girly hippy' who composes formulaic music with a wee dash of Orthodox mysticism to keep the British establishment happy?
