Thank you to Britt https://brittescribe.com/2023/03/19/solsc23-things-i-like-dislike/ for the inspiration for this slice.
I liked the list of likes and dislikes, so I decided to give it a try with a little twist. Here are just 10 of my likes and dislikes.
- I like cats and dogs, but I dislike reptiles especially snakes.
- I like desserts and food in general, but I dislike liver and onions.
- I like a gentle summer rain, but I dislike heavy downpours.
- I like watching the birds at the feeder, but I dislike the mess they make on the windowsill.
- I like going for a drive, but I dislike aggressive drivers.
- I like train rides, but I dislike flying.
- I like roller coasters, but I dislike cable cars.
- I like eating a meal out with friends, but I dislike loud music played in restaurants.
- I like curling up with a good book, but I dislike when that book ends too soon.
- I like the feel of the sun warming me, but I dislike getting sunburned.

#1- Yes! But my son inexplicably likes snakes.
#2- Yes. My mother used to insist we ate liver when she breaded and deep-fried it and made us think it was tenderloin… but I don’t believe it!
#7- I never liked roller coasters, even as a kid.
Kathy is not a fan of roller coasters either, but she loves cable cars.
Bob, #10 stands out. While I usually do not burn an unintentional one becomes a fiery annoyance. The Likes/Dislikes format must be fun to write. Have a great day!
Thanks, Carol. Between hat and sunscreen, there is very little of me that is not covered when I am out in the sun.
I love making lists, so I will have to try this format. I like your like/dislike structure. It makes you think! I agree with many of you likes but do not share many dislikes.
Lynne, this was a slightly altered version of what Britt did, but it worked for me.
#4 is a reason we haven’t done a bird feeder before even though we love birds.
Maybe if I moved the feeder farther away from the window this wouldn’t happen.
This variation on the list of likes and dislikes is a definite post-possibility. I love #10…who doesn’t agree? The downside of sun, most definitely. I’d also say that I love cats when they cuddle but get annoyed when their claws get involved. And food, I love most of it, but dislike eggplant. And lately I’m with you…no patience for flying.
I agree with your cat comment and my leg has holes from their kneading. But then, they are purring while digging.
Great list of likes and dislikes; I didn’t see Britt’s post, and will go check this one out, too. I am totally with you on #9 – with a particularly good book, I have been known to just stop reading …put it down and aside, before the end, because I need to face the sad transition of a good book gone too soon.
Kathy will often not finish a book at night but wait until the next day because of that.
The loud music! I can’t stand it. Don’t they know we are trying to talk to each other? I dislike a loud TV in a restaurant even more.
Or several TV tuned to different stations and the radio blasting. Yikes.
What a nice twist to the likes / dislikes separate lists. You were able to connect them so well. My favorite is #9. I so dislike when a book I’m really into ends.
I liked the format but wanted to try something a bit different with it.
Fun format! I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the idea!
I had fun trying th come up with things that go together.
Ooh, I like your twist to the likes/dislikes list. I felt bad, but I ended up removing our bird feeder because the mess was appalling! I need to place it somewhere where the mess won’t be so obtrusive.
