Love
… recruiting people to paid focus groups and have them tell me that "you've made my day"!
-- Bonnie Schwartz, Palatine
… when I walk around the lake near my home and see a solitary heron or egret standing motionless in the water.
-- James McCullough, Vernon Hills
… when my Mac computer suddenly stops misbehaving and acts like it's the robot and I'm the human being instead of the other way around.
-- Gloria Kaplan Sulkin, Chicago
... when I go for my morning walk and the wind is blowing the fragrant smell of flowers toward me.
-- John Dawson, Oak Park
Hate
… going to a new grocery store in my neighborhood at 10:30 a.m. and there's only one checkout counter open.
-- Juanita Smith Duncan, Chicago
