    My solution was one of these on a swing arm lamp clamped to my headboard. I habitually turn off the overhead light before I get in bed and turn on the reading lamp. I’ve had the same lamp for almost 50 years. My high school girlfriend wrote her name on the inside of the shade, so, I’d see it at night. It’s still there. I’ve used it to read in bed all that time.

    I don’t need a remote or a phone app to handle this.















  • Brussel sprouts, boiled is fine. I have them every day.

    Green olives. I guess some people don’t like them.

    I use to not like cranberry sauce, I liked it as I got older, but I don’t eat it anymore, way too much sugar.

    I don’t know very well what other people don’t like. I’m surprised by most of the things already listed in the comments, apart from canned fish and liver. I don’t like seafood, except for salmon and crab, so there’s a whole bunch of food other people like that I don’t.



  • When I discovered video games at the arcade. So, I guess around 14.

    That’s when I also discovered that nickles could be hammered into quarter-size slugs. There were three of us doing it. We’d use the nickles to buy tokens from the machine during happy hour at six for a dollar (20 cents worth of slugs), then sell them back to kids during regular hours at a quarter a piece. The kids would buy them because there was usually a line at the machine after school, so they didn’t need to wait in line if they bought them from us. That’s how we funded our addiction. I don’t remember how long we did this, probably only a summer.

    My first wage-slave job was cleaning cages at a pet store around that same time. I took over for my best friend’s sister for a few weeks when she went to some sort of summer camp. I hated it very much. I worked a little harder in school after that.
