hi atroop

no - we leave on monday - and we''re running around like headless chickens at the moment! i just got back from 3 hours i the hair dresser. *sigh*

i have finally - FINALLY - finished putting together the photo albums for the party. this was a nightmare as we have stuff scattered in storage all around the world..well...on 3 different continents...so getting together a coherent historical pictorial of the 2 of us was a mammoth undertaking. got it done int he end, tho, largely by dint of inconveniencing all sorts of people - yay.

have lined up suitable outfits to wear, gifts for all the major players, a minister (who is a very close friend of mine) to conduct the service, a cake tasting as soon as i get off the plane (i''ll bet it all just tastes like COUCH), i''ve hired serving equipment, ordered the alcohol, liaised with every member of my family, the florist...i mean, it just goes on and on!

so i''ve been a tad out of action! going to start packing this evening tho, and tomorrow do housework so the house is left in decent order to return to. and then on sunday i''m putting up my feet. phew!

and when we do lunch...french? italian? asian? a couple of glasses of wine?? i suspect you might know a few nice places to go for lunch but, failing that, i vote for afternoon tea at the new ritz carlton at battery park. YUM.

Nah, I don''t like it either. I haven''t read any of the books because I''ve never liked fantasy stories like that.

When I was a kid, I loved black licorice, but now don't like the taste. My kids will ask me what it tastes like, and I'll tell them, "it's gross," and redirect them OUT of the candy aisle. ( So, that means next time they see it, they'll again ask what it tastes like and be given the same answer.)

ETA - Philosophy has a Black Licorice scented Bath and Shower Gel. Wonder how well it's sold?

 

[Moh 10]

1. More powerful or larger cars than a person needs. (The only cargo I see most SUV drivers haul is a double-decaf latte.)
2. A driving style that gets you there in minimum time instead of using minimum gas.

I think the US went into Iraq to secure a future source for oil.

I feel guilty about all the deaths and damage to America's reputation so I bought a hybrid car and drive it in a way that squeezes 60 MPG out of it.

 

[sunnyd]

Sushi! I keep trying it every so often, willing myself to like it. But I can''t! I don''t know why!
Licorice, ew!
Root beer.
Going to the movies...paying $20 to sit in an uncomfortable chair next to a smelly guy (not FI, the other side

) with a kid kicking my chair? No thanks.

I HATE blueberries. I hate how they look, how they smell, how they feel, and especially how they taste. Charbie, you''re the first person I''ve encountered who also hates them! Everyone is always trying to tell me how wonderful they are, but they seriously make me gag. Ew. I feel sick just thinking about them right now! I''m not a fan of blackberries either, so any mixed-berry-flavored foods are out.


Other dislikes on my (long) list:


Chicken

Turkey

Almost all alcohol

Loud concerts (I swear my ears were bleeding after AC/DC--never again!)

Popcorn and that icky popcorn smell at the movie theater

Scary or overly suspenseful movies

Violent movies

''24''

Fast-food meat

Buffets

Hiking

Camping

Campfire smell

Slow dancing

Sushi

''Emotive'' music

American football

Tailgating

Purell

Chapstick with sunscreen

Running

Outdoor gear as casualwear

Coke/Pepsi/Diet Coke/Diet Pepsi

Gambling

Sports commentators

Energy drinks

Avocado

Authentic Mexican food

Spicy food

BITE YOUR TONGUE...."24" is AMAZING

I hate it when the person in the row behind me puts his/her foot on my arm rest. I don''t think anyone likes this.

Cilantro- tastes like old kitchen sponge

Me neither! I don''t like LOTR either. Fantasy is not my bag, baby.

 

[LtlFirecracker]

The biggest thing I think is that I am not that into movies, don''t ask me why. It is just hard for me to sit still for 2 hours. My BF is very disappointed by this

Other stuff

Onions
Nascar
Drinking during the day (all my co-workers love to do this, and they don''t understand why I don''t participate, because they know I have nothing against alcohol).
States that allow smoking in a restaurant

I am sure I can think of more

 

[Magpie09]

Redbull/ Other energy drinks. All my friends love them and i can''t stand them- the taste, the smell. Yuck.

I can totally see why people think it''s amazing--I have tried to watch and like it, but I just can''t handle the suspense/violence. My DH absolutely loves it, but I make him watch with headphones because even listening to it makes me kind of anxious.

This list cracks me up, it's so specific. I somehow feel there is a Thelma and Louis type story behind this, where you are slow dancing to emotive music at a mexican bar, get in trouble by killing the sport commentator harrassing you. You have to escape to the wilderness where you survive by eating your chapstick with sunscreen, warm energy drink, and purell. You end up walking to Las Vegas (I know, it's not on the list but half the people listed it) where you try to blend into a loud rock concert still wearing your outdoor gear where someone recognizes you and you have to run for it, but not before a drunk music fan throws up the remains of his turkey and chicken laded buffet on you. Oops I forgot the blueberries but you get the idea.

I HATE carrying a cellphone or a pager.

I hate people who text when they drive.

Totally, cilantro is wonderful and so refreshing. My DH hates it too and so I never buy it because it seems silly to buy one extra ingredient for salsa if only on person is going to enjoy it! Maybe I should grow some next year.

+1

Especially nice fresh cilantro.
It tastes and smells so fresh and citrusy.

 

[dianne]

I hate cilantro, too....can''t associate a taste with it...just hate it.

I hate bananas......gag!!....no banana pudding for me, thanks, although I do make it for my Mom on her birthday. Can''t even stand to touch them so I gag when making the pudding for Mom.

I''m sure I''ll hear everyone gasp on this one...but....I don''t like chicken breast!! I''ll eat it but much prefer dark meat chicken...thighs are my fav!!

Don''t like leather furniture or car seats, either. I prefer cloth fabric.

 

[KimberlyH]

Las Vegas
Clothes and accessories w/ prominent labels (Lous Vuiton (sic), Ambercrombie, writing on the butt, etc.)
Starbucks
Black Licorice
Cake and pie (unless it's an ice cream cake or pie)
Twilight Series
Harry Potter Series

 

[Moh 10]

Oh I can't stand clothing with logos.

I will not be a walking billboard unless they mail me checks.

I buy clothes a the thrift store all the time.
I'll carefully remove that guy on the horse playing polo with a new razor blade.

Moh, buy a seam ripper. Way better than using a razor blade to remove embroidered logos. Possibly more time-consuming, but less risk of actually damaging the fabric underneath the embroidery.

 

[jstarfireb]

This thread is pretty funny. I love most of the things that you all are listing: ketchup, Harry Potter, sushi, roller coasters, alcohol, high heels, fish, purses, tomatoes, tv, high temperatures, diet soda, live music, a cappella singing...god, I LOVE a cappella; it''s a good 1/4 of my ipod music! I just couldn''t live without these things! I may need to start a "what do you love that other people hate" thread now!

Here''s my list, most of which has to do with food:
onions
cilantro
guacamole
beef/steak
beer (but other alcohol is fine)
gas-guzzling cars
mayonnaise
sour cream
potato/pasta/macaroni salad (but I do like egg and tuna salads)
cheese (any and all cheeses)
olives
dressing up
SKINNY JEANS! A fashion trend that looks terrible on 95% of women. Make that 99%.
shorts so tiny you can practically see the butt crack
coffee (I can drink lattes, frappuccinos, etc, just not straight-up coffee)
