 Nope, Don’t Like That Posted by Trish Milburn Jul 15 2012, 12:02 am I’ll admit it, I’m a bit odd about some things. There are some things that most people like that I don’t. So I thought I’d talk about a few of these today and see if there’s anyone out there like me, and also learn what things you all don’t like that most people do.
2. Dishwashers — Yes, this one will be truly odd for most of the people reading this post. I much prefer to do my dishes by hand. I feel like I can get them cleaner than the dishwasher ever does. I use mine on occasion, whenever we’ve had company and there are a ton of dishes to do or once in awhile to keep it fresh and clean. 3. Steak — This one won’t be so odd since I know I’m not the only person who doesn’t eat red meat. Still, I’m usually the odd person out at cookouts. In fact, I’m writing this post on July 4th when the Milburn family has just finished our annual cookout. Everyone but me had steak. I had barbecued chicken wings. 4. Coffee — When my sister used to live in the Seattle area, the lure of all the zillions of coffee shops was lost on me. In fact, when I receive a Starbucks gift card, the only thing I use it for is hot chocolate in the winter.
6. Convertibles — Call me chicken, but I don’t want to ride in anything that doesn’t have a nice metal roof to protect my noggin. Plus, doesn’t all that wind just blow your hair all over the place? Am I alone in these dislikes, or is someone here in the same boat? And what are some of the things that it seems like most people around you like but you don’t?

1. Peanut Butter — You know how everyone ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches when they grew up? Yeah, not me. Not only can I not stand the taste of peanut butter, I think the smell is absolutely foul. I also don’t like nuts of any kind, with the exception of pine nuts used in some recipes.
5. Tea — Doesn’t matter if it’s hot or iced tea, I don’t like it. I also don’t like grits. Please don’t take away my Southerner card. 
Oh, boy, do I get the rooster today it’s the day of rest, but I have lots of summer chores for the old chook. He’s had entirely too easy a life!
Jo
Get him to work he has had a couple of lazy days here in Oz with Barb and Me in the cold
Have Fun
Helen
Oh, I’ll keep him hopping, Helen. We have plenty of lawn work to do!
You’re just teh preson to shape him up, Jo! He’s been too long without a P226 workout, so you’ll have to put him through his paces. Hahaha!
Yay on catching the rooster, Jo. Make him work for his keep.
Likes and dislikes are strange, aren’t they Trish? Most little kids like PB&J sandwiches; in fact, they’re like life’s blood! Healthy protein, good carbs, healthy jam. But I think by the time we get to be adults we’ve had PB&J overload!
I’ve turned to peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I know! I never, ever thought I’d like them. My husband toasts his bread, slatheres in with peanut butter and slices a banana on it. It used to gross me out, but since he’s been leaving me that little banana stub I talked about a while ago, I’ve been turning that stub into a half a sandwich and it’s quite tasty with milk for breakfast. And very filling. Lasts quite a few hours.
Yummmy, Peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Yummmmm. I don’t toast the bread, but otherwise, same, same. :>
I guess I’m one of the odd ones who has never liked peanut butter. It’s just foul. I do, however, like chocolate-covered bananas.
I have never, EVER like coffee. I know many writers mainline it, but I’ve often wondered how something that SMELLS SO GOOD can taste SO AWFUL!!
LOL Jo – This was going to be my exact comment. Love the smell – hate the taste.
I do like coffee ice cream, though.
While I only like certain coffee drinks, well -adulterated, thank you – I do understand this sentiment. I didn’t like it for a long, long time. And it does smell SO good, doesn’t it? but it can be so awfully bitter.
Donna, coffee ice cream….yummmmmm.
Isn’t this weird? I like the smell of coffee too but don’t drink it. And like Donna, I like coffee ice cream on some desserts though probably not by itself. My sister, however, is a bit of zombie in the morning until she gets some coffee.
I’m so on board with the hate coffee, love the scent thing! The only thing with coffee flavor that I enjoy is tirimisu. Yum, baby!
Trish
I have never had peanut butter and Jam (jelly) sandwich it is not the done thing here in Oz but I do like peanut butter one of the things that I really don’t like is mangos even the smell turns me off LOL and everyone thinks I am strange because I don’t eat them. I love coffee enjoy a cup of tea and most other things. I have never ridden in a convertable car but would like to do so one day.
Have Fun
Helen
It’s funny how traditions differ, isn’t it Helen? Trish is right, PB&J is a staple in America, for kids. What’s the equivalent “kid food” Down Under? Is there something that most kids eat or have in their lunches for school?
I like mangoes, but they do have an odd smell to me. I prefer them in Mango Lassi, the indian drink with yogurt. Slurp!!
Jeanne
Here in Oz Vegemite is the staple sandwich spread for most kids LOL a yeast extract and very yummy although I like it spread sparingly some like my hubby have it very thick.
Have Fun
Helen
I’ve not had much in the way of mangoes. It’s not really a super common fruit to have here. We’re more of an apple/orange/strawberry sort of place, at least here in the South.
Hello Trish,
I like peanut butter, but don’t like jelly. I agree with you about convertibles. All that wind hitting me gives me a headache. Most people around like raisins, but I hate them. I love grapes, but raisins gross me out.
Jane, my son’s best friend is a no-jelly man. he’ll take the peanut butter on the bread, but no jelly for him. grosses him out, he claims, because it’s “Slimy” Snork!!!
I feel the same way about prunes that you do about raisens. For some reason, plums are wonderful, but their dried equivalent, not so much. :>
Jeanne, did you ever see that old, old movie (with Eddie Fisher, I think) where the kid eats his PB&J sandwich on three plates, one for the PB, one for the jelly, and one for the bread. He doesn’t like to mix them up in his mouth, he said. Too funny.
Like Jeanne, I don’t like prunes. However, I have raisins several times a week in my oatmeal.
LOL! Fun post, Trish!
I have to say that I do love peanut butter, but we’re much more careful now about having it because we have quite a few friends whose kids are deathly allergic.
I’m with you on the dishwashers and I actually have to remind myself to use it at least occasionally otherwise it gets all weird inside. I do sometimes use it when we have lots of guests over and plates that lend themselves to stacking neatly inside the racks…
I also don’t drink coffee or enjoy the reality of convertibles–I like the smell of coffee and the idea of the breeze blowing through my hair as we cruise down the road on a brilliantly sunny day, but in reality, I don’t love the taste of coffee and the caffeine gives me jitters. And yes, riding in a convertible messes up my already messy hair and sometimes leaves me with a headache. Alas. ;p
My dislikes–please don’t pillory me for these–fuzzy pets and lamb. We didn’t grow up with any furred pets and didn’t eat lamb. I’m fine with other people having pets and find them often very adorable–I just don’t think I want to add that responsibility to our household. And don’t really care for the taste of lamb now. So there it is…
I’m LOL about the “reality of convertibles” – and with which I totally agree! Ha! If we could cruise at 25 mph, sure. But where do you do that in a convertible? And the hair thing. Mine just tangles in all that wind and no way do I want to spend the ride hanging on to a hat. :>
Lamb can be gamely and dreadful, so I get that, and I think a lot of people appreciate pets but don’t want to deal with them. totally cool. Grins.
Fedora! Finally someone who is with me on the dishwasher thing. Most people think I’m nutso.
Is it just me or does the peanut allergy thing seem to be a more recent phenomenon? I don’t remember anyone being allergic to peanuts when I was a kid. I mean, I hated them, but as far as I know I’m not allergic.
Trish – the ONLY thing I agree with is the dislike of coffee. All the others I enjoy – and dishwashers! That’s a necessity! Of course, we have four adults living in the house which means we go through a lot of dishes – dishes that I don’t have the time or inclination to hand wash. I love just flicking the switch on the dishwasher.
We have a convertible, and I do love to drive it in the summer. Part of the love is driving a stick – love the control – but I also enjoy the openess of it all. However, now that my son has learned to drive a stick, he generally has the car. Haven’t taken a sharp turn in that baby all summer.
I do love a stick-shift car, Donna, and for the same reason. I miss my straight drive….sigh.
See, I can’t drive a stick shift. I tried learning once, and let’s just say I decided to stay with automatics.
Hi Trish
I don’t like peanut butter but if what you call jelly is jam…. I like that
I am the dishwasher in our house and DH does the drying up… he actually leaves them to air dry and then puts them away lol…. he says that is healthier than using a teatowel
We do have steaks on the BBQ
I don’t like coffee but I make up for it with tea ….. being originally English we have our cuppa
I have been in a MG but the hood was up lol
Hey Barb! Had to LOL because I once had to explain the difference between jelly and jam to an English friend of mine. He got “mint jelly” for eating with the aforementioned lamb, but why would you want to put something like that on toast? Hahah!
Jelly is a fruit preserve w/o the pieces of fruit, as I understand it. Apple jelly is clear, no pulp or fruit bits. Jam is all yummy and fruity and pulpy and delish. Well, both are delish. Grins. I love both.
Like Jeanne said, there are differences between jam, jelly and preserves. I actually prefer preserves and jam over jelly. I looked up specifically what the differences are:
http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/question84.htm
Trish, I love peanut butter with blackberry jam!
Now coffee…I’m so there with you darling! Cannot stand the taste and OMG if someone lets it burn in the bottom of a glass pot…ewww
Here’s something that will have our Joanie up in arms over! *whispering* I hate Creme Brule!
I detest custards. It’s a texture thing for me. I also ONLY like butterscotch pudding and yogurts with either fruit in them or granolas of some kind. Again a texture issue for me!
okay I like my butterscotch pudding as is. The fruit or granola must go in the yogurt! hehehe
Heehee, Suz! I’m LOL about the pudding and custard deal. I’m not fond of custards much, but in moderation, I like them.
Pudding now? I LOVE me some pudding. :>
Suz, I don’t like Creme Brulee either! I always feel weird when I’m at a group in a restaurant and they’re all waxing poetic about the creme brulee, and I’m like, “Um, can I get a piece of chocolate cake please?”
Oh, I know what you mean about the burned coffee. I used to work in a couple of restaurants when I was in college, and that would happen. Nasty!
And like Jeanne (how many times am I going to say that today?), I do love some puddings, particular banana (or as we say in the South, naner puddin)
Okay, I take it back, I do love a good banana pudding. But you know there’s chunks of banana and vanilla wafers in it, so it’s got some crunch and texture to it!
I’m with Suz on the custard hate. I’ll eat the sugary top off creme brulee
but that’s about it.
This is a great post! And there’s a few things I don’t like while others love them.
Microwaves – everyone’s nuts about them; I don’t like them. And you know, I have lived alone in my townhouse and have survived very well without out thanks.
Mum tried to talk me into getting one ‘to heat things up in’ but when I said no – and my brother said to her to stop bugging me into having something I clearly didn’t want – she stopped trying and asked what I needed instead. I surprised her and started asking for really old-fashioned things that Grandma used to use. 
Loud Cars – okay… I know there’s hoons out there who love to rev those V8 cars until their ears bleed. But really, do you absolutely have to park it next to my house and do it? It screws with my television reception! Bugger off and do that elsewhere!
And while we’re on the subject of loud cars: loud car stereo systems… do you really need to have your music up so loud you send yourself deaf too? Hang on, it’s so you can hear your car when you rev it up loud… oh… I get it! (rolls eyes) Idiots.
Coffee? I love coffee, so long it’s made right and not burnt… but tea? Well, I like Green Tea, don’t drink black tea as it’s too strong and love White Tea… yummo. Anything with great anti-oxidants.
Red Meat… don’t eat it, but I can still cook it.
That’s great for a vegetarian of around 8 years. 
Heehee! Mozette, I’m with you on the loud cars and loud car stereros.
I like to say to my DH, that If I wanted our kids to hear the skanky lyrics of some songs, I’d let them play it. But since I DON’T, I’d appreciate it if some stranger doesn’t fill the air surrounding his/her vehicle with bad language and worse, all to the catchy beat of a rap song. YIKES!!!
Grins. And yes, they WILL go deaf. Revenge is sweet.
Too true! Now, I have my loud music moments… truly I do, but once my favourite song has come and gone, I turn my music down. I don’t go and annoy living crud out of everyone around me just because I know I can…
It’s just plain old common sense; isn’t it?
Interesting about the microwaves, Mozette. I do like mine, but there are certain things that are better if you warm them up in the oven instead of the microwave, like leftover pizza.
I like to play music loud, but not bleeding-eardrums loud. The thing that makes me roll my eyes is when someone has the car stereo thumping really loud and it’s a crappy stereo system.
Ohhh… jeez, nothing worse than hearing a bad car stereo system thumping out even worse music!
That’s just sad…
I did eat peanut butter and jelly as a child but I detest it now. Perhaps because that is about all I ate as a child. I still like Reese Cup candy and peanut butter cookies so my dislike is just for the straight peanut butter and I love nuts, all of them.
I would hurt someone if they took my dishwasher, I do still do dishes by hand on occasion but the dishwasher is my friend.
I love steak, I am a certified carnivore. However, barbecue, not so much. I will eat and even like a pulled pork sandwich but I don’t want any other meat barbequed.
Coffee, one cup a day of my own coffee and no one (no, not even Starbucks) elses. I will tell you that one cup is strong with creamer and sugar and if I whistle it comes to me.
I only drink tea if it has enough lemon in it to make it lemonade. Will they take away my southern card for that? They already took away my WV card apparently.
I like the way a convertible looks but I don’t want one, don’t want a motorcycle for the same reason, no where enough protection between me and the road and everyone on it.
As a certified Meat-a-tarian, Dianna, I’m with you. grins.
Love my Starbucks, once a day. No more, thanks or you’ll be talking to me at 33 rpm speed. Snork!!!
And I totally agree w/ you about motorcycles and convertibles. I love the look, but there are crazy people out there on the road. :>
I’m so with you on motorcycles. I know people who have them and love them, but they make me nervous, especially when people aren’t wearing helmets. I know some enthusiasts like that feel of the wind in their hair and some say that helmets obstruct vision, but every time I see someone without a helmet I just hope they make it wherever they’re going without crashing. I used to be a newspaper reporter in Kentucky, which doesn’t have a helmet law like we do here in Tennessee, and I had to cover accidents where riders didn’t fare well when they had accidents. Same with wearing seat belts. One of the first accidents I covered when I started right out of college was one where a guy wasn’t wearing his seat belt and he went through his open sunroof. So, yeah, I like lots of protection when I’m barreling down the highway.
That can go the other way too… there’s motorists who don’t see motorcyclists and run them off the road. This happened in Cairns when I visited my brother and we went for a ride together. I was on the back, and as we went into a round-a-bout on the inside lane, a motorist on the outside lane wandered into our lane. He didn’t even see us… just pushed us right up against the gutter as we went around!
My brother couldn’t take his hand off the handles as he was in a low gear; so I (without moving too much) reached my left hand out and tapped on the driver’s window. I tell ya! The guy nearly messed his pants when he saw us! He had the look of: “Where in the hell did you two come from?”
My brother is a very safe motorcyclist; he’s never been a hoon and doesn’t like the ones who are.
I think that makes you unique. I’m sure we can find others who don’t like some of the stuff on your list. When I was a kid I refuse to eat PB&J sandwiches, because I thought they were gross. Now I can tolerate them.
I’m not a huge fan of ketchup. It’s ok and will have some on my burger, but when it comes to fries you keep that stuff away from them. I know a lot of people like ketchup w/ fries not me.
Hear, hear, Melody May! It’s all about uniqueness! Grins.
Melody, I feel the way about mustard as you do ketchup. I can tolerate it in very small amounts but could live without it just fine. I like ketchup, but most of the time I actually eat fries without it. Fries have to have three qualifications, however: hot, salty, and not floppy.
HOW ARE WE FRIENDS???? Okay, steak I can forgive, but peanut butter–my favorite thing in the world is Reeses! Like Diana, I’d hurt someone who took my dishwasher, and I drink tea almost every day. Now, of course, I have to figure out things I don’t like…
MJ, I was asking myself the same thing. I love Trish and was wondering how could we be friends and 1) I not know these things; and 2) how she survives without coffee or tea. Grins.
Then again, I love my husband too, and he dislikes both peanut butter and pumpkin, two of my all time fav things. Sigh. Love is blind….and it has questionable tastebuds too!
Oh, pumpkin. I love pumpkin desserts. Yummy!
LOL! Should we start listing the things where we’re alike? We’d be here all dang day.
I was about to mention when Dianna mentioned barbecue above that to you barbecue is beef, and I’m firmly in the barbecue-is-pork camp.
Yup, in Texas, barbecue is brisket. Not my favorite. But one thing I don’t like is pork, except bacon and in very rare cases sausage.
Another thing my husband reminded me of was that I don’t like red sauce on pasta, therefore, not a spaghetti or lasagna person.
You don’t like lasagna? How did I not know this?!
I am not a fan of spaghetti but I can eat lasagna on occasion. Pizzas are light on sauce as well and if I had my druthers it would be the alfredo sauce instead of the marinara
Yup, alfredo sauce all the way!
Nope, Trish, don’t like lasagna. Unless it’s super super cheesy and I can eat around the sauce
I was a picky eater as a child but not so much anymore.
I love peanut butter! I’ll eat it on anything or right off the spoon. Still enjoy PB & J sandwiches with a glass of cold milk. Makes me happy.
I have coffee occasionally (decaf only) and enjoy it. Only with cream though, not black.
I hate washing dishes and love my dishwasher.
I don’t eat as much red meat as I used to but still enjoy a good steak.
Loved driving a convertible when I was a teen but nowadays I’m more concerned with safety.
And yet, we are friends.
It’s so fascinating to me that people can be so different in some ways and so alike in others.
PJ, I’m with you. Peanut butter makes everything better!
Good luck getting the GR to do anything, Jo. Barb and Helen spoil him terribly!
Trish, my Southern sister! I don’t like grits either! Yuck! My Mom despairs of my Southerness! I don’t like coffee either. Never drink the stuff. Tea, however, is another question entirely. I drink tea all day long – hot or iced. I cannot live without tea!
I grew up eating PB&J and Peanut butter and fluffernutter sandwiches (Peanut butter and marshmallow creme) I still enjoy one every now and then, but not on a regular basis. However, the other staple of my childhood lunchbox was bologna sandwiches and I cannot STAND bologna now. Very, very, very rarely I will have some fried bologna with breakfast, but that is it!
I hate cabbage. My paternal grandmother MADE us eat it when we visited and now I abhor it.
I don’t have a dishwasher, but I would LOVE one! I HATE washing dishes!
I had a Mazda Miata years ago and I really enjoyed riding in it with the top down. Unfortunately convertibles give me lead foot and that results in speeding tickets. Not good. I wouldn’t mind having one again one day. There is nothing like driving down the beach in Biloxi and then going on to New Orleans in a convertible!
Oh and I don’t drink alcohol of any kind. Never have.
Louisa, I had to laugh at your mother despairing of your Southernness!
Eew, I hate cabbage too. Hubby likes it, but I think it just stinks up the house. That said, I like it in coleslaw, just not cooked.
And eeww again on fluffenutter! My mom used to eat that nasty marshmallow cream stuff before she started having to watch her glucose. Oh, and she liked those icky orange slice candies that were just covered in sugar, and those orange circus peanut candies, and snowballs. Gag, I realize there are a lot of things I don’t like. We won’t even go into some of the really gross, really old-time country things my dad would eat.
I’ve never drank either. Never had the desire. And if I had ever had the desire, the girls who lived next to me in the college dorm would have cured me of that really quickly. More often than not it seemed, I’d open our shared bathroom to find one of them hanging over the toilet after a night of partying a bit too hard.
I ate bologna (baloney) sandwiches all the time growing up, and I will get the occasional craving for one now. But usually one and I’m done for a few months. Used to eat one every day when I came home from school as I sat down to watch something like Gilligan’s Island or The Brady Bunch.
I love those orange slices! My grandmother loved those, my grandfather loved the orange peanuts, but a little of those go a LONG way
Trish, obviously I had an opinion about all of this. SNORK!!!
I’m with PJ in that I’ll eat peanut butter most any old way. On bread, on a spoon, sittin’ on the couch or sittin’ on the moon. Snork! (I was feeling Dr. Seuss on that one)
I have my one cup of Starbucks (Venti) every day, and am done. Otherwise, as I said, you might as well speed up the world b/c you won’t understand a word I say it’s so fast. I’m quite bouncy-energetic enough w/o too much caffeine.
Ironically, I drink a LOT of tea, but the caffeine in it doesn’t seem to affect me the way it does in coffee.
Love my dishwasher but hate unloading it, so that’s the DH’s job. Snork!!
Love, love, love meat of any kind. Certified Meat-a-tarian. Steak, chops, BBQ, rare. YUM.
No convertible though. The hair thing. Mine’s fine and longer now, and it looks like four foxes have been fighting in it if it gets that kind of windblown. Ugh. And the safety thing…yeah.
But, a la Donna’s comment, I’d have a stick-shift car again in a heartbeat…..yeah.
LOL on the Seuss-ian response and the four foxes fighting. That is something I totally don’t miss about having long hair, tangles! Now I just look like I’ve stuck my finger in a light socket when I wake up.
Some condiments are nasty to me. Ketchup and yellow mustard. Double yuk! I don’t care for barbecue sauce either. Just cook food as it is and enjoy its natural flavor!!
Good point about natural flavors, Connie.
As I mentioned, I don’t eat a lot of red meat but I do eat an occasional hamburger. One of my favorite places for hamburgers is Steak ‘n’ Shake, but I always have to remember to tell them to hold the mustard or it just ruins the burger for me.
The only one I can semi-agree with you is tea but I will drink it on occasion. We only got tea when we were sick as children so it took a while for me to get over it. I love everything else on your list lol. I remember as a child for a treat I got a spoonful of peanut butter while my sister got a spoonful of cream cheese. Neither of us liked the other (although I like cream cheese now lol).
Isn’t it wild how things like that set in our minds? For instance, I don’t know how anyone drinks ginger ale or Sprite anytime they aren’t sick.
Trish, no grits and no tea? You definitely should hid your certified Southerner card, or someone will try to confiscate it.
I can eat peanut butter, and do because it’s an easy, good-for-you snack, but it’s not a favorite. The only time I drink coffee is when I eat out at a great restaurant with old friends and it’s part of the ritual of fellowship and dragging out an evening we hate to end. I love my iced tea though.
I prefer chicken to steak, and I actially like washing dishes by hand, unless we’ve had several guests, because it’s great thinking time.
I enjoy an occasional glass of wine, but I don’t like the hard stuff. I’m the next thing to a teetotaler. I hate egg whites–to the point of carefully and discretely removing the pieces I can see in scrambled egg dishes and from salads with hardboiled eggs in them.
The Southerner card is safely locked away.
Interesting about the egg whites because when I’m really trying to be healthy, I always see these things about how you shouldn’t eat the yolks of eggs. Well, I might as well not eat eggs because they don’t taste like eggs without the yolks. I just eat them in moderation, probably 3-4 eggs a week.
I’m with you, I don’t drink any kind of tea or coffee, in fact I hate coffee flavored anything. The convertible thing I absolutely get too, even with a roll bar I get nervous that it’s just not enough. The thing I don’t eat that a lot of people rave over is crab or lobster. I just can’t see eating something that looks like an alien, and having to use pliers to do it.
LOL on the alien seafood. I can eat both of those, but the seafood I absolutely love is shrimp. Dude, you should see me when I go to the beach and can get fresh shrimp. Oh, heaven, nothing like eating fresh grilled shrimp while listening to the waves.
Trish, from your list, I’m with you on the convertible. I get a headache from the din the rushing wind makes and get annoyed from the hair in my eyes. I do like some wind in my face, but I can get some of that with a partially open window in a sedan, too.
My newest pet hate is the idea of insects in food. To wit, crickets on pizza is the newest craze to hit the foodie scene in the Northwest. Can we say EWWW together?
Crickets on pizza? Man, that’s gross. I’m not much for the strange and edgy when it comes to food. That reminds me of something else I can’t even stand the thought of — sushi. To me, it’s bait.
Keira, that’s disgusting! I suppose the foodies like it, though, so people will try it? Eeew….
EWWWWW!! Crickets are the grossest bugs, can’t imagine eating them. They SMELL!
Well, Trish, we can agree to disagree on the PB. I adore peanut butter, peanuts and most anything made with either one. I wish I didn’t care for it, because it sure packs a calorie load!
I enjoy handwashing dishes, too, for just the reason you cited, but do use mine since we’ve been raising kids and using lots of dishes. All that is about to change, though, so I don’t think the dishwasher will see much action!
I don’t eat steak. I used to enjoy filet mignon, but that was it for steak. I don’t even eat that anymore!
Love coffee, but I didn’t start drinking it until I was 29 and the third child was an infant. It was like magical heaven then, even though I had never liked it before!
I love tea, hot or cold, but ONLY unsweetened. Can’t stand sweet tea (yes, my Southerner card is in jeopardy, too!).
THUMBS DOWN on convertibles. Why would I get in one when I spend 40 minutes fixing my hair?!? That’s crazy talk. Plus, all that junk blows into your car (or falls into it if the top is left down when you park). No thanks! It’s hard enough keeping my hair intact with a top on the car!
LOL. Totally hear you on the hair. When I have mine fixed to go anywhere, I have to use the AC even if it’s pleasant enough outside to just open the windows.
LOL I am so with you on the not liking peanut butter, steak and coffee (although I love the smell of coffee).
I do love almond butter, though. And go through at least a gallon of unsweetened ice tea a day in order to keep my brain functioning.
I drive a Mini S convertible, it’s red with a black top and is so fun and kicky and great to drive. I put the top down as early as I can in the season, and unless it’s crazy hot, it’s down until even the heated seats won’t keep me from shivering in the winter.
I was so sad when my dishwasher bought her own place and moved out
Her sister already had a full slate of chores, so I had to pick up the slack and do the darned things myself. Which means my automatic dishwasher is currently my best friend *g* I hate emptying it, though. I dump that on the youngest.
Another hate is putting away laundry. I’m totally on board with doing it and folding it, but the putting way part is a pain.
You know, Tawny, I can totally see you driving that car even though I’ve never actually seen it. It just seems like you.
I don’t mind all aspects of the laundry except ironing, so as a general rule there is very, very little ironing done here. Actually, I probably iron more when I’m at conferences than I ever do at home.
Trish, I”m giggling…..I like everything you said you don’t like. LOL I don’t eat red meat often, but I do enjoy a really good steak. And coffee, tea, and my dishwasher…LOVE THEM SO MUCH!
My hubby ADORES peanut butter—-I think he would eat it on anything. I love it, too. And to our dogs, it’s like crack. Bahaha!
I don’t own a convertible, but they are fun to drive and ride in.
That’s funny about peanut butter being like crack to your dogs. Hee!
Oh, my, Trish, we really may have to give you a Southernism demerit on the tea thing. I like it iced or hot, though of course iced is the southern default.
