Well I love sports, the number 3 and ketchup… I hate ignorance and any pre conceived ideas about race,religion or football lol
I knew that I was going to polarize people on some of these issues, especially my thoughts on condiments and numbers. But sometimes you have to take a chance … ;p Love you, Jim. Thanks for stopping by!
This looks like it was fun. Was it hard to come up with a hate list? I have difficulty with hate because it’s something I try really hard not to do. I see a million post ideas here though with single word lists. Thanks for sharing details of your life, I liked this.
I agree Jen. This post is inspiring!
Yes, Jenni, this was a really fun post to do but not easy! My original list was at least twice as long and some spots were empty. Funny enough, I always started out with either the “love” or the “hate” and tried to work it from there. I realize that I have pretty strong opinions so finding things I “like” was tough! I need to work harder on eliminating hate in my life … ;p
Liek, love, hate….what a unique post Sweepy. I related to quite a few of them.

Thanks, Rimly, that means a lot! It never fails to amaze me how alike people are even in their uniqueness. I hope that doesn’t sound like a load of crap, because I mean that.
I enjoyed the list. stil mulling over it. we could go on for hours mulling over each entry
Thank you! I’m really intrigued by how words in a certain context play off each other.
I really love this list. It is interesting visually to see that some of the very things we hate are born out of things we have a deep love for. The one the hit me the hardest was me, me, me. So honest. Well, Sweepy we love, love, love you girl! I could see this being blown up and used in a classroom to challenge students. In fact every student should have to make a list like this. Wonderful!
{{{Hugs}}} Tameka! As far as I’m concerned, it never hurts to dig beneath the surface and examine what’s there. Love you too!
GASP!!! HOW COULD YOU HATE BUFFY!!! One of MY all time favorite shows.
either way…what a great post.
Lol! I knew somebody was going to call me on that one! But I’m glad you forgive me! ;p
I like the ‘me / me / me’ …. relatable! This was such a clever post! I enjoyed it!

Thanks so much, Joy. Sometimes I hate myself for hating myself sometimes. <3
I think I should try this also..its great.
Please do, Alpana, and let me know what you come up with! xox
The 3 numbers you mention are all primes. How interesting.
(3, though, is the only one found in the Fibonacci sequence.)
Why hate silence? I find it essential. Noise is distracting. Some silences are bad – others are good.
“pencil” I just don’t get o_O (speaking as someone who uses pencils all the time)
I hadn’t thought about the prime number aspect, that is interesting! I think early on I attached mystical properties to 7 and 11. I’m not sure what my beef is with 3; I just find it offensive. But I love writing poems based on the Fibonacci sequence. Weird … or should I say weirding?
Oh, and as for silence, I think I am distinguishing it from quiet. Silence is final, complete and scary. As for pencils, I don’t like the fact that their marks are so easily erased. I’d rather clutter my paper with scratch outs!
curious to know how this worked. Interesting.
Thanks so much, Jan. I had been thinking about it for a while. It got stuck in my head to do and the thought wouldn’t do away!
Scrambled. Easy over. Poached.
Poached. Easy over. Scrambled. We’re mirror images! ;p
Loved this! What a great post Sweepy
Thanks, Lalia! xox
Big Idea Big Fun.
Thank you, Doug!
Awesome concept! Totally dig that it has meaning whether you read it across or down.
Ha, that it does! So glad you stopped by, Emily!
So you love speeding? Who would have thought ?
As for chocolate, I can only agree with you. A fun post!
Indeed, Muriel. After a couple of tickets, I stopped speeding for a while. Now I just do it more carefully!
I love appreciation! It’s amazing how much more I want to do when I know my family and friends appreciate me, that let ‘s me know they’re not just taking me for granted.
Cool list. Thanks,
Funny, I had a string of words in which the hate word was disregard, but I decided not to use that one. Now I wish I did!
I’m glad you stopped by, Thank you!
I totally agree with everyone’s comments here…what a great idea! I am kinda curious about some of the entries, though…do you really love worry? As Jen said, there are a million post ideas in this!
Wonderful post!
I’m glad you enjoyed the post! There is some element of playing with the language here. It’s not so much that I “love” worry, but I do it all the time. I default to it when there’s really nothing to worry about. It’s something I need to work on and constantly fight against.
Intriguing list. Insights into your personality. So many good ones. Loved wisdom, maturity, and age. Don’t understand how you can love dirt but hate dust as dust leads to dirt. Or is it dirt as in earth? Forget that. The list was too good for pickies.
I tried: Like mayonnaise, love honey, hate peanut butter
Like happiness. Love content. Hate Letdowns.
Yes, think I’ll try a list of my own just for my enlightenment.
Or maybe you should issue a challenge but then what could equal yours in appeal, insights, and ingenuity?
I like your short list, Pennie! By all means, do more of the list and share it if you like. I know too many wordsmiths to think that only mine would be interesting. 1 plus 1 Wednesday shows me that every week. I think everyone’s is better than mine! ;p
Yes, I did try to manipulate language in places and throw in some different associations to disturb the balance. You are right, I meant dirt as in earth.

Interesting, Turq! I’m pondering over entering, winning waiting and love hearing about the number preference! Thanks for stopping by!
This list is definitely worth printing!
The first line caught me attention completely! I hate ketchup too! I hate winters too… I have always lived in hot places and I find winters too tough to handle.
Fried, baked, boiled is like my order too! You read my mind Adrienne!
Thanks, Hajra! I guess I should be grateful to live in a temperate climate where I get to experience all the seasons. As much as I hate winter, I may miss it if I lived in a place where it didn’t exist.
What a cool idea, Adriene! It must’ve taken a lot of effort and thought to put this together because of the parallelism. I really identified with so many of your loves, including appreciation, chocolate, kittens and broccoli. And I especially related to “me” being in all three categories! Absolutely brilliant! =)
Thank you, Sam. xox I was thinking about this list for weeks.
