On Saturday morning I received the following text from my dear Valentine, who was out running errands: "Girl Scouts at Walmart. Want cookies?"
I had a flashback to Latin class, where we learned about the word "num" and the suffix "ne," which you use when phrasing a question to show you expect a negative or a positive response.
"Want cookies?" obviously would qualify for the "-ne." Really, who in the history of the universe has ever answered "no" to this one?

JOBS: Rural delivery
Perhaps you got the same "help wanted" postcard that I did in the mail the other day. The U.S. Postal Service, it seems, is looking for part-time "assistant rural carriers" to deliver mail on Sundays and holidays in the 189, 190, 193 and 194 Zip codes, and they pay $17.40 an hour. You can apply online at www.usps.com/employment.
