Thirteen Things
I
ABSOLUTELY DON'T LIKE
1. Sardines, anchovies, or any other fish that tastes "fishy."2. My feet being cold.
3. Surprises. Major ones. Tell me you're planning a surprise and I'm fine with it!
4. Smelly dogs. Unfortunately, my nose is hyper-sensitive to dog smells. I love animals and it kills me that I can't pet some dogs without gagging.
5. Lemon pies, lemon cakes, lemon cookies, etc. The flavor of the real fruit (lemon) is wonderful - just not in pastries. To me, it tastes like varnish smells. Go figure???
6. Red vehicles. Not red paint color OR red upholstery. Maybe it's over-stimulating? At any rate, owning one irritates me each time I drive it. My den has 2 accent walls painted red - so it's not "red" it's red in/on vehicles.
7. Dentists. Maybe that should have been #1!!!!!!!!!!!
8. A liar or any type of lying. Really, lying vies for the #1 position, right along with dentists. No! Dentists would have to be #2 UNDER lying/liars.
9. Large crowds. I can't stand concerts, the state fair, Wal-Mart on the week ends . . .
10. Music with a pounding rock beat or lyrics when I can't understand even ONE word.
11. Vomiting or headaches. I rarely suffer from either one of these. My recent headaches have reduced me to tears because I turn into a baby. I've only vomited about 10 times or less in my entire life and each time I've cried, "Oh puh-leeeeeze, God, noooooo!"
12. Cheap motels with mold in the bathroom, lukewarm water and a weak spray from the shower head, thin (and not enough) towels, rude staff members, bad free coffee, and pools that are supposed to be open but are closed with no explanation.
13. Being made to feel stupid because I can't understand someone with a heavy foreign accent who insists on carrying on a lengthy conversation. I feel VERY pressured to listen harder. I feel frustrated that listening harder STILL doesn't make me understand the person. I feel insanely disrespectful and rude because I'm not sure if I've been asked a question and an answer from me is expected. So, in the end, ultimately, I take full blame for the lack of communication and feel stupid and ignorant and try my best to escape the situation.

My feet are always cold - socks & shoes or not.
Lemon? I LOVE anything lemon... even the fruit!
Red vehicles.... for a while, everything we owned was either red or white... now we have silver, charcoal grey, turquois, & Darci's red car.
I hate (& I use the term loosely) people who refuse to use the brains God gave an ant... People who are stupid, disrespectful, look down on others, lie, cheat, steal, pull out in front of me in traffic..... pretty much people in general. Respect is probably T.H.E. biggest thing I've tried to teach the kids.... it doesn't matter if you agree w/ someone or not, you still respect them.
Sheesh.... maybe I should go take a nap. I sound grumpy!
Take care! ~Lori
Hmm...I may have to contemplate this one for a while. I think about things that I hate better when I'm grumpier.
I'm glad you got the letter. I was afraid to e-mail you and tell you it came because I knew the letter was on the way and I didn't want you to think that I didn't like what you sent. If that makes any sense. Rachel is talking to me about conjugating in the passive voice and my brain is scrambled.
