Can you tell us something you dislike, then say something good about it?

Raisins. But you can throw them at people.

The rich old geezer died, but he left me a fortune.

I hate yams, but they’re good for me.

I hate what speed walking 2–3 miles a day does to my bad my knees but it’s great for burning calories and boosting my heart rate.

The President. I dislike him.
But I guess a non productive constituency that wants somebody else’s money, combined with an enabling chief executive, might imagine that they are entitled to have their moment.
Such fantasies occur off and on in history. I accept that.
It won’t last forever.

I also despise winter but NOTHING can beat a winter Christmas. It is magical.

I dislike work but it pays the bill. @josie funny stuff

Will Ferrell. I’ve tried, but I just don’t like him. But I do have a fondness for this joke, and for Goulet.

Other great things about winter: I don’t have to feel guilty about climate controlling my car because heat is free! (I am a major cheapo on using my AC in the summer.) Also it’s the only time my two cats become friendly to each other and cuddle up for warmth. They avoid each other the rest of the year.

@wildpotato I agree about Will Ferrell. I even tried your links, and…no. I think he tries too hard and is too self aware. To me, the best comedy is sly. I have to admit I felt the same way about the young Steve Martin and slowly became a fan, so, (in the spirit of the question) there’s hope yet.

Re: AC. If you don’t work so that you can be comfortable outside of work, why bother?

I don’t like The Kinders Surprise toy… and the chocolate outside as good.

The summer heat makes me miserable and depressed, but I love swimming and watersports.

I dislike vitriolic comments about our current president by FauxNews-watching citizens who were probably mysteriously and patriotically silent when a certain former president clearly lied and sent tens of thousands of people to an unnecessary early death with no accountability at all.

But Bengazi is is somehow a “scandal”, an impeachable offense ??

Give me a fuckin’ break….

Oh, yeah… the good side….Hopefully, we eventually get to learn from our “mistakes”....(but don’t count on that, boys and girls…)

OOPS. Sorry. I forgot this was my question, I was so into it. lol

@kritiper Yeah, but is the ability to become airborne a necessary plus?

@snowberry WHICH old geezer? Can we have shares?

@bossob Yams are not good enough for you to go through the upchuck of eating them.

@Pachyderm_In_The_Room You need a speed walking buddy.

@josie I’m a conservative living in Illinois, and all I can say is that the President was elected by a majority. Given the competition, an easy, understandable majority.

@LornaLove But would it be less magical if you just turned down the AC in AZ and watched snow fall on the tube?

@talljasperman I don’t know the toy, but chocolate wins. lol

Egads, @jonsblond I never heard of a miserable and depressed summer. Well, not since the Dustbowl.

@OneBadApple Mistakes are future opportunities.

Observing unconscious people addicted to their programming, but, it affords me the happiness of knowing I have transcended mine.

I really dislike my first wife a whole lot. But, she took very good care of her children and was a good mother.

I hate the taste of fish and seafood(lobster, shrimp, salmon etc). I like them much better when they are alive. The are fascinating creatures.

@ibstubro – No. You can put them on somebody’s chair and let them sit on ‘em.

@ibstubro I agree. But only if we learn from “mistakes” (what a convenient term), and don’t repeat them.

This isn’t Thomas Edison figuring out what does not work. It is creepism throwing away innocent lives…..and somehow continually getting away with not being accountable in the name of patriotism…

Will Ferrell, but he does a mean George W.
Robert Goulett, but I appreciate that he can laugh at himself.

I dislike traffic. But after years of taking the bus in all kinds of weather, it’s really nice to have a car.

I loathe polyester. But, apparently, it’s inherently flame retardant.
Just don’t mix it with natural fibers.

I hate physical exercises, although I know exercises are good for my health.
I hate romance novels and young adult fictions, although many things depicted in those novels are very close to my life.
I hate Harry Porter, but I love The Science of Harry Potter.
...and many more
@ibstubro what does “silk purse from sow’s ear” mean?

@Mimishu1995 It means you can’t make something great when you’ve got nothing good to work with. Or something like that.

@ibstubro The heat makes me lethargic. It zaps all of my energy. I also get migraines with aura and bright sunny days set it off for me. A perfect day for me would be cloudy or snowy and cold. call me crazy :)

I dislike waking up early in the morning, but I love to watch a beautiful sunrise and enjoy the quiet before the day gets busy.

Tomatoes but they are healthy.

I hate wasps but feel a genuine sense of elation after i’ve tortured & killed one with deodorant spray…die, bastard, die!!

I really dislike smoking, but at least no one in my immediate family or friends smoke (anymore).

Children. But their meat has such tenderness.

I hate children, for the most part. However, there are a lot of hardworking, great parents that raise polite and smart children and I appreciate that.

@Coloma I think that went over my head.

@Bluefreedom Not too many things in this world more important than the kids.

@flip86 True, man. I like them a lot, dead and alive. Relaxing fish and fascinating shellfish.

@filmfann I don’t like Will either, to the point that I’ve never seen the GWB. Sounds like a nightmare…dislike heaped on dislike. lol

I was without transposrt for years, too, @Haleth and getting them set me free.

I think polyester is highly flammable unless treated, @Nimis? Petroleum product?

@Mimishu1995 Historical romance novels, at least you learn something. There’s an old saying, “You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.” I prefer the more positive, “She’s so creative she could make a silk purse (something) from a sow’s ear (nothing)!”

@jonsblond Have you considered Seattle?
I like rising early and I too glory in the sunrise, start of a new day.

You might grow out of the tomato dislike, @Valerie111. I did. I disliked tomatoes and tomato products into young adult. Now I love them, as long as they’re peeled! lol

@ucme See @flip86‘s answer.

@cookieman I was 19 when I started smoking, I smoked for 19, have been quit for 14. I still believe smoking is a right on privately owned property.

I’m the exception, @mambo. I never liked children, never in my weakest moment wanted one. The older I get, the more tolerant I am, and the cuter they are. I still do not want one. Not in my weakest moment. lol

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!

@ibstubro I find it hilarious that you seem to have developed an allergy when hitting the GA button, I definitely like that.

No, @ucme. I’ve topped out my 100 points on you, so I don’t award for participation anymore, but for good answers. I specifically stated that the compliment was not intended to be backhanded. So while I appreciate you answering, and enjoyed your answer, it was not, technically, a good answer according to the question as stated.

You seem to be giving this way more gravity than it deserves, but hey, keep on keeping on :)

I dislike the taste of coffee but I love the smell of it so I am always happy when my colleagues make themselves a cup!

I dislike thinking about people who hate children, but it’s a good thing there are other folks who do like children. Otherwise nobody would be here, and a well loved and enjoyed child grows up to be a fine adult.

I dislike spammers, but I’d kind of miss them if they suddenly disappeared. The “cat and mouse” game of identifying and zapping them is, well, fun. I also imagine that, since most of the spam originates in places where there’s a lot of poverty, many spammers are just resourceful, scrappy people who don’t have a whole lot of choices. That tempers my harsh feelings a bit.

@ibstubro Here is a link to a quick summary.

Thanks! @filmfann.

Broccoli and Green Veggie. But they have very high nutritional values.

@Lisahernen At least broccoli is a good excuse to eat a lot of CHEESE!

Prius drivers.

But we all need a good laugh.

Blatant liars who constantly spew out random crap, it’s very funny because it’s painfully obvious to all except themselves.

I very intensely dislike cooked carrots, but they make delicious cake!
