What I LIKE

• Hearing “have a nice day” from the shoe shine guy.
• Having someone hold a door open for me – chivalry still exists!
• Please and Thank You, Excuse Me, Go ahead, you only have a few items.
• Smelling the baking aroma from the ‘flavor factory’ as I drive past I465 and Park 100.
• Catching up with old friends.
• Hugs, kisses & phone calls from grandkids.
• Unexpected mail (not a bill or ad).
• A funny, clean joke.
• Not-for-profit employees – they do it for the benefit of helping others.
• A ‘loaner’ in Euchre.
• The library.
• Rest stops along interstate highways.
• Baby pictures – any baby – they’re all cute.
• Post-it notes.

What I DON’T Like

• Drivers that tailgate – I’m going the speed limit – Back OFF!
• Co-workers that take the last drop of coffee from the pot and don’t make another one; my usual response is a quote from ‘ The Old Man’ from A Christmas Story: “sons ‘o bitches!”.
• Spit on the sidewalk – at least do it in the gutter.
• Smelling the  ‘s**t factory’ smells when the wind blows up from the south.
• Loud cell phone talkers – we don’t need to know your business.
• TV news ‘teasers’ – just give us the news, NOW!
• Politicians – most of them are crooks one way or another.
• Reality shows; drama in real life is enough for me.
• One-ply toilet paper.
• Litter/trash along the road/sidewalk.
• The word ‘like’ 20 times in one sentence.
• Dirty snow.
