Regarding innie the Pooh…no to the Disney version in terms of decor…I used the AA Milne version to decorate my nursery for my youngest , so pastels and not cartoonish
Celine Dion is right up there with Mariah Carey…I realize they have musical talent…just not my taste of music
@FallGirl I am with you! So wildly misogynistic. I read somewhere that the original title was something like, “The Man Who Hated Women.” No kidding.
but that’s the point of the thread. stuff you hate that everyone else loves.
and yeah, i think the Spy Mom spot is terrible. not Peter Pan HS reunion terrible, but pretty bad.
i still like American football but Aussie rules footy is so much better
^^^ peppermint
Especially the candies dropped on a check at a restaurant
Also
Gatorade, Red Bull, cheap beer, overpriced cocktails with very little alcohol.

@Wien2NC - give me rugby union any day

Hate them and always have.
There’s a Mariah Carey song from the 90s that has the line “you’ve got me feeling emotion”, that includes her doing some vocal gymnastics that sound (to me) like a cat being put through a wood chipper.
Oh, from the “love-hate” thread, I am not a fan of eucalyptus.
Camping: take everything you love in the world, and give it up to go poop in the woods. Not a fan.
I don’t get and strongly dislike when people post those I love my Daughter, sister etc and say share if you have a daughter you love. I love my kids but don’t see the point of those postings.
When my kids were growing up I would always tell them that they should not use the word hate. That it is a strong word and to say they strongly dislike something.
I like some of Mariah Carey songs from her early albums.
The Disney version of any story…to me, just bleh, with no personality or mystery. I never brought home Disney books from the library or store until my daughter had soaked up the originals (like WTP) and richer (IMO) interpretations of the old fairy tales. I wanted those to be fixed in her mind before the Disneys did their insidious work on her brain, lol!
So many beautiful illustrations out there evoking medieval/renaissance/Victorian art and others that are modern but charming and creative. Love the illustrations of Trina Schart Hyman (The Serpent Slayer and Other Stories of Strong Women) and Inga Moore (The Wind in the Willows.) Never got the Disney mania.
N.E. Patriots!
“When my kids were growing up I would always tell them that they should not use the word hate. That it is a strong word and to say they strongly dislike something.”
Gotta disagree. I think that “hate” can be appropriate even if not talking about say, war and famine. I dislike rice. I hate beans. I dislike manicures, I hate massages. I dislike ice-cream. I hate rice pudding. I don’t just strong “dislike” them. They make me MISERABLE if I have to experience them. Something that makes one miserable is worthy of “hate.”
I am not a fan of the Duggar’s.
I don’t like going to very loud and crowded places. For someone else that would be fun.
I don’t like to drink but don’t mind if others do.
I don’t see the fun in getting a hangover and getting sick.
I don’t like haunted houses or scary movies.
I completely agree with @mom60. Hate is an extreme, profound, intense emotion, wasted on a vegetable or rice pudding.I don’t care for rice pudding, but it never did anything to me to warrant some intense, hostile emotional reaction to it.
I cannot stand liver or chopped liver. Can’t stand the smell or the taste. Watched my brother take a bite of it as a kid and hurl it right back on the dining room table. Lovely memory. So, I will say I cannot stand it (cannot stand the taste or the smell) but I don’t say I hate it. It must have been some poor creatures body part, and why would I dislike that? .
Yeah, no fun, but it’s completely possible to drink alcohol and not get drunk, not get sick, and not have a hangover.
I have no problem with people who do or do not drink. Everyone has to do what makes them happy.
My Dad (recent widower) has just moved into an independent living community targeted to retired military officers that has a vibrant drinking culture. He doesn’t drink at all, but is pretty tolerant. I’m interested to see how this plays out.
@Nrdsb4 I was thinking about the college drinking scene when I mentioned that. I came from a home where my parents didn’t drink nor did they serve alcohol. Maybe in college I was the minority but seemed to manage fine socially without it. I agree one can enjoy a drink without getting drunk and I don’t mind if others choose to do so. I guess when you haven’t done it you really don’t know what you are missing. It really is a personal choice.
^^^^It certainly is. No doubt alcohol has caused many a problem and can tear families and lives apart.
I hate the Patriots
re: the word “hate” - it’s in common parlance. You can’t put the genie back in the bottle.
