I should add, frozen yogurt. Give me my creamy full fat ice cream please! However, looking at the caloric difference it is tempting to switch over...

Mer, you would hate to be our neighbor :oops:

Sillyberry, that reminded me -

I dislike bars and most forms of alcohol. I think I'm in the minority, at least on the latter :razz:

I'm going to ditto all of this! Unlike BEG I do love my alcohol, I just don't like the bar scene. I much prefer to drink at home or at friends' houses.

Re: Poll: What do you dislike that many other ppl like or lo

Many popular blockbuster movies...I've never seen (nor do I have interest in seeing) any of the following:

none of the Harry Potter movies
none of the Lord of the Rings movies
none of the Star Wars movies
Avatar
E.T.
Shrek
Ghost Busters
Back to the Future
The Da Vinci Code
none of the Toy Story movies
none of the Batman movies
none of the Terminator movies
none of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies
none of the Indiana Jones movies
Dances with Wolves

I also don't "get" Vegas, or going out for drinks, with the purpose of getting drunk.

Re: Poll: What do you dislike that many other ppl like or lo

- Hiking and biking (feel like a displaced person in WA)
- Romantic candlelight dinners
- Quiet suburban life; I love big cities
- Public pools, saunas and hot tubs. Even at 5-star hotels. Unless it is 100% chlorine
- Happy ends (in movies and books)
- And now I dislike cruises! (I just came back from one.)

BTW - I am actually OK sitting in a traffic if it is in NYC or Boston. Traffic around my son's school in the mornings vexes me!

I dislike everything related to "Twilight" but I have this perverted fantasy - to go watch "Twilight" movie at midnight (this is what you are supposed to do) but instead of looking at the screen, look into faces of people who are watching "Twilight" at midnight.

haha! Crasru- that made me laugh so hard! what a hilarious fantasy!

One thing I hate - the phrase/word "LOL"
I don't know why it bugs me so much I just could never bring myself to use it. I will for sure sprinkle my posts with "ha"s though.

Oh, you must be my soulmate!!! I too, loathe LOL. Sometimes I want to say "Really, did you really just laugh out loud?" To me, "lol" is like the "uhhh" of conversational speech. It's just filler now. It means nothing. I will use "haha" "hehe" "teehee" or many variations but I never use LOL. Drives me bonkers. There I said it. Climbing down off my high horse now....

My husband says being cool is not caring what other people think. So you are cool Kenny, according to my husband ;)) But he thinks I am cool, too, for the same reason, so I am not sure how reliable his judgement is.

Re: Poll: What do you dislike that many other ppl like or lo

thought of a whole new list:

-boba/tapioca drinks. i refuse to chew when i'm supposed to be drinking. (someone just walked by w/ one!)
-cooked salmon
-saunas, jaccuzis, steam rooms. i get bored and i hate being hot.
-wearing earrings. have a lot but i never wear them
-shoes. i would love to wear flip flops 24/7. even during the winter.
-boy-shorts type undies. that seam rides up more than a thong, and if i buy them any bigger, they'll fall off.
-cashmere or wool. dont like that fuzzy feeling. i feel like there are bugs crawling on me! gimme a cotton tank and cotton shorts and i'll be happy.

Oooh....I should add that I really disliked Los Angeles. The only good thing I DID like about it was Universal Studios. I'll go as far as saying LA is worse than Jersey.

i agree. and if my family wasn't here, i'd be in San Diego in an instant. i could NEVER understand why people would willingly move here? it's sooooo crowded, and dirty, and just gross. it was NOT like this 10 years ago. I left for college and came back to 3x more traffic!

I wasn't even in downtown LA and I couldn't bring myself to like it :( On our Cali trip we went to San Fran, San Diego, and then our last stop was West Hollywood. I was most excited for LA too! I left extremely disappointed. I'm sad thinking about it now ;(

I felt like everything was way too spread out. To get to Rodeo Dr from our hotel (located on sunset blvd) it took a solid 25 mins and cost us about 20 bucks for the taxi drive. Even Rodeo Dr. wasn't impressive. I really REALLY wanted to see some hot girls (because I have always heard how beautiful the females are in LA and Cali in general) but I was even disappointed in that aspect. Universal Studios more than made up for it thought. San Deigo is gorgeous, same with San Fran....definitely places I could see myself living in.

Bean sprouts in pad thai or lo mein. I don't want crunchy stuff in my soft noodles!

Beer, too. I really really hate beer. If I'm drinking beer, someone needs to get my behind home because I'm too drunk to realize I'm drinking beer.

Re: Poll: What do you dislike that many other ppl like or lo

Autumn-

haha you should have gone to the beach areas and west LA if you wanted to see hot girls. Manhattan and Hermosa Beach always have hot volleyball types or hot bikini chicks. Or the club scenes!

LA is very spread out, so unless you have a car, it's hard to get around. I always wondered what tourists DO here because I dont see the appeal. I love going to the beach when it's warm, and i love the food options. Aside from that, there is not a whole lot to see. there is extreme poverty mixed in some very nice and some very exclusive areas over almost 500 square miles, which makes it very NOT tourist-friendly.

I'm sorry you had a bad time in LA. i feel embarassed... :(

Re: Poll: What do you dislike that many other ppl like or lo

I went to LA this year and felt similarly. The only incentive to go was to visit my bff before she moves back east. She lives in Redondo Beach, a few blocks from the ocean, and it was pretty nice. There honestly wasn't that much to do, but it was ok because the whole point of going was to hang out with her. I wouldn't have wanted to go as a tourist without visiting someone living there.
