I love …
… dual-control electric blankets. For anybody who’s ever needed fewer covers — or more warmth, for that matter — than the person on the other side of the bed, it’s a godsend.
— Paul Lockwood, Woodstock
… how my two co-workers at Highland Park Hospital compete each week on who makes this list!
— April Williams, Palatine
… the Anderson Japanese Gardens [318 Spring Creek Rd.] in Rockford. They are so beautiful and calming to my autistic son.
— Lisa Sosin, Lombard
I hate …
… when you hold a door open for people and they don’t say thank you — like you are their personal doorman. I feel like letting the door close on them before they exit.
— Kurt Raggi, Glenview
… when I valet my car at a restaurant and then receive a parking ticket based on the valet illegally parking my car.
— Carolyn McGuire, editor
… when cars stop in the pedestrian walkway area, causing pedestrians, often with kids in tow, to walk between cars or too close to traffic
— Kathryn Johnson, Elmhurst
