My New Year’s resolutions include the usual suspects. This will be the fifth year in a row that I probably won’t be reading “War and Peace” and about the 20th that I won’t be flossing daily.
But not a month into the new year, I’ve already tackled my vow to get rid of stuff that I no longer need. I’ve finally gotten brutal about my books, taking boxes of them to my local library. (The problem with this is I buy more books at their weekly sales.)

Well, Bella, I've admired your writing for decades, both before you left The Globe and since you've returned, but I'll honor your wishes and not try to "friend you." I'm even more demanding than you are, restricting my Friends list to 75 (although it used to be 50). Add a new one, take one off …
As for idiotic comments from others which are forwarded to you because you have ill-advisedly commented on some thread, discover the joys of "unfollow." When you get a notification alert — a red numeral appears at the top of your FB feed — each of those notifications allows you to unfollow the thread it references. Click the red numeral to open the notifications window. Hover your mouse at the top right of the notification, a gray "x" appears, and one of (the only? I can't recall) the choices which appears is Unfollow. Also try RIGHT-clicking on FB pages, which is sometimes implemented.
Do keep on writing for us, please, even if you're not interested in what I had for breakfast or plan for dinner.
