I don't think Tom Brady is hot.... Which seems to be a super UO in New England!
My best friend used to agree with you, and then she was working a Michigan football booster dinner and told him where to find the bathrooms. She had no idea who he was so she asked who the hot, rich guy was and was laughed at.
UO Christmas movie style: I don't really like Home Alone. I think I did for a while and now they're meh.
I'm also terrified of Keifer Sutherland. If he were walking towards me on a street, I would run away. I know he's an actor and it's an illogical fear but I've never been able to watch anything with him in it after "A time to kill" and "An eye for an eye."
I am on the other end of the spectrum here - I LOVE Home Alone. Easily my favorite Christmas movie, despite the numerous gaping plot holes: How does Kevin call Little Nero's to order pizza when the phone lines are apparently dead (or if they are fixed, don't you think the parents tried to call the house at some point)? After visiting the church, Kevin rushes through his front door without having to stop to unlock it; why didn't the criminals just try the front door at ANY point before the come back at 9pm? How does Kevin set up the entire funhouse in one hour?
I don't like Will Ferrell, Adele, or the Beatles. I don't find Saturday Night Live to be humorous. I don't like seafood. I don't like expensive cars. They're all really ugly to me.
Why do we need to attach "moon" to trips these days? Babymoon, anniversary-moon, etc. Why can't it just be a fucking vacation?
hahaha I just said that on the honeymoon board! Just go in a god damned vacation!
hahaha - I saw this post....and started to reply back, "so basically you're taking a vacation" - but decided against it. I hate this "moon" phase for everything.
I despise cream cheese, even cheesecake. If something has even a hint of cream cheese I can tell. However, I will happily bake things with it for other people. Also, eggs.
I hate chicken wings. Any meat still on the bone makes me barf. I hate birds, and as a rule trust no one that owns them. Tom Hiddleson and Bene-WhatsHisFace are two of the least attractive people to me. Hatehatehate snow. Live in Michigan. Ive had my share. Im done. 65 degrees F on Christmas has me down right giddy and makes me feel like riverdancin. Walking Dead ? No thanks. Norman will always be a Boondock Saint to me and I cant get in to him as another character.
What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests. Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.
VERY unpopular opinion: I never thought Brad Pitt was hot. No, he isn't ugly, but I never thought he was attractive.
I feel this way about Johnny Depp. I don't get the obsession.
These plus Tom Cruise for me.
ETA - I've seen a lot of celebrities in person, including Brad Pitt. Big mistake, they often look nothing like the do in pictures. Such a disappointment.

**********BOX BOX BOX BOX BOX*********** I could not agree more - and I live just South of Boston!

To the bolded, can you clarify? This seems to be a huge generalization. Are you talking supercars like Lamborghinis and Bugattis and a McLaren F1 or are you anti Acuras and Infinitis and Audis?

They move into cities and neighborhoods yuppies won't dare enter, bring their businesses with them and turn them into neighborhoods cool yuppies pay top dollar for. Many are creative and produce locally made products, they support other small businesses and no name bands, and I tend to think beards are hot.

Ok, except I feel like a lot of times this ends up becoming gentrification, turning poor neighborhoods into uber exclusive, high COL neighborhoods that the original residents can no longer afford.
My UO is I think all beards look nasty and disgusting and I hope the trend goes the way of the mullet.
Oh! I've never seen or read anything LOTR or Harry Potter. Or Hunger Games.
I've read Hunger Games (first book was good, 2 was ok. I thought the 3rd sucked)
I haven't seen or read LOTR or HP either.

Mine is.... I'd be perfectly happy to be a stay at home wife. Like just spend my day cleaning the house and cooking a nice meal and going to the gym so I can look nice for my husband. It's so 1950s but I'd be totally ok with it.

Same for those stupid man-buns.
I never thought I'd like DH with a beard. Now that he's had one for a year, I would like him to never shave it off.
I don't like Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny (tooth fairy either, but she applies less in the reason). I think it is hypocritical as fuck for people to lie to thier kids (on a religious holiday) about a fat guy flying around in a sleigh, or a rabbit that brings you eggs and chocolate while at the same time telling them that as good little Christians they should not lie. I didn't believe anything my parents said for quite awhile after that jig was up.
I agree about Adele. She sounds like a whiny stalker. When I see posts on FB about women sitting at home drinking wine and bawling over her new album, I judge. WTF has so little to do that you have an evening to waste on that shit? Step away from your 25 cats and go find a life.

This is happening in metro Detroit right now, both in white and black neighborhoods. There has been a lot of talk about how gentrification can negatively affect the city and I feel like the conversations have been thoughtful and challenge the status quo in a good way. A major grocery chain moved into the city, which never would have happened, and agreed to hire 40% of their employees from within x mile radius to ensure the community benefited too. The city has also launched a program where you can buy auction houses for super cheap but have to renovate them within 12 months. It's been a huge success.
A lot of people have adopted the attitude "if it's been that way for 40 years and nobody fixed it, why stop people who are willing to put in the work now?"

This has always been my life's ambition. Career? What the hell is that? I have zero drive to do anything except take care of my home, H, and dog.

Yeah I used to be all about my career but these days... meh.
I don't do twitter, instagram, or reditt and I have no interest to. I'm on Facebook everyday, but I only have 35 friends on there and they are all relatives or close friends, most of whom live far away. If I don't actually care to know what is going on in your life or to have you know what is going on in mine, I will decline your friend request... doesn't matter what your relation is to me.
I agree with not understanding the big deal about Adele. She's okay, but not good enough that I'll buy her albums. My neighbors blast "Hello" at least once a night... and she has on occasion put it on repeat. That song gets annoying. The other day my co-worker asked if I had seen the Adele concert on TV... I tell her: "no, I don't particularly like Adele... plus, I don't really get the desire to watch concerts on tv". She responds with: "I recorded it, if you want me to bring you a copy of it". Um, I just said I didn't like Adele, so why would you think I want to watch your recorded tv concert???
I don't particularly like Christmas decorations. This is the first time I've put up a tree in 4 years (I just put it up yesterday), and only because I have family coming to spend Christmas at my house. A couple years ago I literally just printed a picture of a Christmas tree and taped it to my wall... easiest Christmas cleanup ever.
@kimmiinthemitten I hate quote trees. But anyway, I think it's great they are making those jobs available....but that doesn't stop the rent from ballooning, from formerly cheap buildings being sold and renovated into ultra trendy and expensive condos or townhomes. The people who used to live and work in those areas are priced out of them. So even with the jobs, they end up moving elsewhere, and that leads into a whole slew of transportation issues with getting to the job itself. I dunno. I has opinions.
@banana468 H grew a beard for a few months last winter. It wasn't HORRIBLE, but I got tired of it and just didn't like how it looked or how it felt and asked him to shave it off. I still just don't care for facial hair period.
@julieanne912 You stated my dream to a t. I can think of nothing more I'd love to do other than not work so I had more times for the things I actually liked. I have zero problem with having primary responsibility for cooking meals or managing the house because then I'd have sooooo much more me time to exercise, volunteer, etc.
I too would love to be a 1950s SAHW. No career goals here and I'd be happy to cook and clean all day and put a ribbon in my hair when H came home from work.

Plus then I could have/foster all the puppies.
So much this. I've asked DH before "jokingly" if I could be a stay at home dog mom. Except I was partially serious. He said no.
I honestly think I would be a nicer, more productive person if I didn't have the pressure of going to work every day.
Re: Unpopular Opinions
Despite its flaws, I will always love Home Alone.
Also, eggs.
I hate birds, and as a rule trust no one that owns them.

madamerwin, I also think eggnog is disgusting.
Can't stand country music.
I might be the one person on the planet who loves Jethro Tull.
I detest Frozen - and any other movie that has random pointless singing about nothing.
And my Number One Super Embarrassing UO: I actually wish the Spice Girls would get back together and record another album.
They are going on tour in 2016.
Also, I may have to hypnotize someone into going with me haha!
