She Likes Me, She Likes Me Not

Two blogs coming up about people, what I like about them and what I don’t like. Where could such opinions be expressed but in a blog? However, I will include the caveat that these lists will not touch upon specific religious and political matters. Today, let’s go for the people I like.

1. Well-behaved children when they’re in my house.
2. Well-behaved children in restaurants and supermarkets.
3. Children who love to read books and do so.
4. Adults who read books and know how to discuss them without telling the story within.
5. Anyone who says, “Thank you,” when it is due.
6. Anyone who says to me, and means it, “You don’t look your age.”
7. Those who work hard crosswords.
8. Those who do not smile all the time.
9. People who have a specific religious faith, though it may not be mine.
10. People who can discuss religious and political topics with an open mind.
11. People who get all the facts before reaching conclusions.
12. People who are patriotic and place their right hand over their heart when saying the Pledge of Allegiance,
when the national anthem is sung or played, and when the flag passes by in parade.
13. Women who really know how to cook.
14. All those who support our troops in action.
15. Those who pray for our country, especially in this great hour of need.
16. People who develop hobbies in their youth, which they can enjoy in their retirement.
17. A man around the house.

There are certainly more of these, but a telephone call that just came takes priority in my thinking.
