The Winter Olympics bore me
Me too. And also the summer olympics.The Winter Olympics bore me
- I LOVE the scent of coconut (in lotions, hand soaps, or whatever) and enjoy foods prepared with coconut milk; HOWEVER, I can not stand actual coconut. I think it is a textural thing.
- I'm not a fan of door-to-door fundraisers for sports or clubs. It seems like every kid in the neighbourhood rings my doorbell in September, trying to sell me gift wrap, restaurant gift cards, or other items I have no use for. While I completely understand the need for fundraising, if I were the parent of a kid who was sent out to schlep catalogue merchandise or whatever, I would love the option of just handing over an additional sum of cash to cover whatever amount the organization would gain from our sales, without having to go out and harass everyone and then have to track everyone down to deliver whatever they have ordered. I feel like the only people who make good money on some of these ventures are the companies selling the junk to begin with and the organization receives very little. Handing over an additional $25 or $50 or even more is a small price to pay for my time and sanity and I feel like the organization would net more outright than they would through my child's fundraising efforts.
- I went and saw La La Land at the theater with my daughter after hearing about all of the hype it was getting. It was just okay. I'm not sure why it was considered such an incredible piece of work that it needed to sweep the awards.
- The smell of peanut butter makes me gag. I like all nuts (except the coconut mentioned above), but won't touch anything with pea"nuts" or peanut butter...even if it is coated in the most decadent chocolate! That would be a waste...like lipstick on a pig.
- I have no use for pretty much any condiments...no ketchup, mustard, mayo, relish, pickles, hot sauce, etc. I eat my hot dogs plain, my french fries with just salt, and my sandwiches are mayo free.
- I have tried reading The Great Gatsby three times and just can NOT get into that novel. I gave up about two-thirds of the way through it in college. I used the knowledge I gained in the lectures to write the test. I feel like I shouldn't watch the movie without reading the book first, so I will likely die never having seen it.
I think preschool, kindergarten and any other "graduations" before high school are stupid and a complete waste of time! Being rewarded & having a ceremony for just showing up and coloring is setting kids up for big disappointments down the road.
I do believe it’s a thing, but I don’t think it means what they think it means, KWIM?Since it was brought up, I don't believe that transgenderism is a real thing. And that's VERY unpopular in today's western culture.
Yes. I've read it so many times trying to enjoy it, I've written many many papers on it and I do love the author and the subject. But the book, not so much! But definitely watch the movie. It made me wish I liked the book. (I will say, the book is well written)
We were out shopping today and I must say leggings are a privilege, not a right. Ugh.My unpopular, trivial opinion is yoga pants/leggings are not pants. If you're going to wear them outside a gym then please pair them with a tunic length shirt or something like that.
I don't like vegetables. The only one I eat is corn. I also don't like potatoes or salad. People are completely fascinated with this. They will question me for about an hour, naming various veggies and trying to find one that I like. I don't like any of them. Then they always ask how I stay so thin, as if veggies are the only solution to not weighing 300 pounds. Then they always as "why" I don't like them. How the heck do I know? Think of a food you don't like and tell me why you don't like it. There are just foods people don't like.
I also don't like coffee or any condiments which people also find very strange.
