#1 Dislike? People who flake out!

[kats_meow]

HA! Kidding.  I am queen of the flake outs.  But not today.  My dislikes are pretty short so I thought I'd bang them out before the clock strikes 12 over here.  EVEN THOUGH IT SHOULD BE ONLY BE 11 - JUST SAYIN

I like Brussels sprouts, but they DO NOT like me.

And man, using Christianity to be a jerk to someone is a major pet peeve for me, too. I just want some smiting action at that point.

I like most vegetables, even ones I disliked as a kid. Like beets - I can't stand them from a can, but roasted, I can tolerate them.

I've suddenly got a more clear understanding that a belief in a higher power is so much more than going through the motions at a church. It's loving the unlovable, protecting those who hate you, challenging everything you thought you knew about what's "good" and "right." And it's not easy.

lol, I hear you. I totally forgot that it was daylight savings until my mom called me and was like DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE THE CLOCKS BACK IN YOUR ROOM even though everything autochanges lmao.

I agree with everything but brussell sprouts. I love brussell sprouts lol.

You are lucky, they are very good for you - the brussels sprouts that is. Not the DST though, that helps no one - ha!

[icecoldrain]

lol! DST serves to irritate and confuse everyone, I swear. But brussel sprouts, yummy! My brothers hate them. You are in good company lol.

LOL your first dislike is hyporcrisy, people who say and do two different things...

...then you say you don't like dishonest people but fess up to being dishonest.

I feel like this was a test to see if I was paying attention to the post...

Seriously though, I get what you mean by dishonesty. We all expect people to tell a few white lies, fibs to help protect someone's feelings, they happen, But people who are consciously dishonest all the time, out of amusement or malice, those are the ones that are a problem.

Hee, well, I obviously have an open door policy on contradictions!

Now that I'm trying to be a good influence on my boys, I have to have some uncomfortable conversations with myself. Like, "So you say lying is wrong, but you just told someone you can't make a meeting because you have another commitment - and that's a lie." Or, "You just told your oldest son to make his bed every day, but are you doing it yourself?!" They are little things but man, I find myself under the spotlight now that I have kids. It requires an honesty that can make me squirm, but I guess it is in the best way!

And no one will call you out on that kind of behavior as quickly as kids! Adults will just grumble to themselves but kids will shout "HEY YOU'RE NOT DOING THE THING YOU SAID WE HAD TO DO!" :)

I love Brussel sprouts. Apparently people taste them differently depending on a specific gene. So if you hate them they probably taste different to you than they do to me ;)

Children as accessories - oh yes, I hate that too.

[kats_meow]

Wow, I didn't know that! I feel a lot better about my dislike of them now!

And yeah, there are quite a few kids around me who are constantly being shlepped to the sitter's, to the nanny's, to camp, to daycare, to the grandparents' houses. They're never home with their parents at all. I'm sure my kids are probably sick of me, LOL, but for the most part, I love having them around.

*snort* fun and spot on. Waiting for that serious smiting to occur. Any time now....

[kats_meow]

Wouldn't just a little be nice once in a while? Sigh.
