Some Things I Hate
Greeting cards that rhyme. Communication just doesn’t get more artificial than that.
Raw cucumbers. Cucumbers were created for PICKLES and pickles ONLY.
Sitting anywhere facing a wall.
Clichés…is that ALL you can think of to say? Besides, clichés remind me of rhyming cards.
Yard work (I was raised on the farm…it isn’t a hobby to me)
Pink golf tees, or pink golf balls, for that matter.
Any colored golf balls other than white
Anything pink, for that matter.
Cute menu items (example: IHOP’s Rooty Tooty Fresh And Fruity). I’d starve before I’d say those words to a waitress.
Hockey. Any sport that requires ice is too cold for me, and I like to see scoring more often than once a week.
Drinking coffee from anything that is disposable…especially GOOD coffee.
Non-dairy anything. Remember, I was raised on the farm, and we didn’t grow any palm oil or hydrogenated fat. Anything that won’t spoil should not be eaten, period.
Low-fat anything. No, it doesn’t taste the same and you CAN tell the difference.
Artificial anything. Life is not a dress rehearsal.
Reservations. I might want to change my mind. OPTIONS…life is about options!
Animals on my bed. If you can’t walk, talk and do simple arithmetic, then you don’t belong on my bed. PERIOD.
Some Things I Can Tolerate
Weeds. Anywhere…hey, they are plants, too.
Unmade beds. What a waste of time, just to get it messy again very soon.
Dishes in the sink. I don’t want them on the floor, in chairs or on my bed, but the sink seems perfectly logical to me.
Schedules. I almost hate them, but I don’t want to become rigid.
Some Things I Love
Blank greeting cards. I see them as an opportunity!
Animals. With the exception of reptiles and cats.
Golf. Total frustration is good for you.
OK, so my list of “hate” items is much longer than my list of “love” items. That is only because it is easier to remember what really irritates you.

You seem to have way too much time on your hands if you are posting this kind of drivel.
hey.....i LOVE all those things that you hate; except PINK.....i HATE pink. i wore a pink shirt into prison one time....i won't go into that story!
LOL your list of hate things in fact the whole list busted me up! I especially agree with the IHOP deal. Man I have thought that too!
We agree on alot of things except I wasn't raised on a farm. I like your blog Mark. I am looking forward to finding some time to read the rest! Unfortunately right now I have to hike Camelback....which i HATE! Don't cha hate having to do things that you HATE! lol ( and in the HEAT TOO!) that should go against ALL RULES!) nevertheless here I go....
btw thanks again for all the encouragement last night. We appreciate you guys.
Love Sheesh

:D the Photographer...
(She2)
well you don't mess around you already have a picture on your blog. Well done Mark!!
Sheesh
Great idea, to list all the things you hate, tolerate and love! It is easier to create a list about things you hate, because they do irrate us so much! The cucumber thing I don't get because a pickle is really a cucumber! Not liking Pink, I think is a guy thing, because most men hate pink.
Speaking of lists, how about list of your 10 favorite songs (I am sure country will be included :)
Great Blog!

I still don't know how to respond to each individual person. SOMEONE needs to school me on the techniques of blogging...I am almost 54 years old...cut me some slack.
