Best Advice Given
"Do as I say, not as I do".
Dream Come True
Being a parent.
Pet Peeves
When people keep their shoes on when they're on their
beds.
When girls wear skirts with their jeans.
Stupid.(Although the women who do this are usually the
type I'm attracted to - so I hope I didn't piss you
off)
People who "walk" there dogs driving they're cars.
People who don't know the difference between their,
they're or there. Spell check can't help these fools.
When two lanes of traffic are merging into one, and
everyone piles into one lane a mile ahead, then get
all upset when you drive down the open one. Stupid
Oregonians - get a clue.
People who ask me why I'm a vegetarian (mostly because
I don't have a good answer).You eat what you like, and
don't worry about what I'm eating.
Spam, junkmail, telemarketers and religious freaks.
Stay out of my face unless invited.
Socks with holes in the big toe, or boxers whose flap
doesn't "work".
The smell of burnt microwave popcorn.
Dog poop.
Long walks on the beach, as a hobby or
interest....duh.
Dust bunnies.
Stepping in something wet when I have socks on.
Guys over 30 who wear their hats backwards (wait a
minute, I do that sometimes. I'm a dork)
People who don't take their sunglasses off when they
go inside
Turtlenecks. Gag. I even asked a really hot girlfriend
to go change when she wore one.
The graphics and colors on motorhomes - WTF?!
