Looks like I only hate a hat place. Since I dislike wearing hats save for wearing a cap to keep a low sun out of my eyes while driving, my subconscious must have kicked in and skipped the letter "t.".
My late mother hated guns. I presently own six. No, I didn't shoot Mom. She died of a stroke.

I love their 8-minute rendition of "Roll Over Beethoven."

Ohhhh yeaaaahhhh! Had to +1 that! Never saw this video before. nice!

My perfect mother told me I was not allowed to 'hate' another person. She said 'you may intensely dislike someone' but hate will not be allowed in your vocabulary!

I am so stealing that.

Having been raised in a one-parent house, in an inner-city housing project, it is so easy to focus on what you don't have.
My mom would tell us,
"You won't see what's coming next if you are always looking down."
"The mind attracts, what the mind dwells on"
"God helps those who help themselves."
"Pray and trust in God, but always be on the lookout for the doors he opens"

Once I turned 70, it really hit me that my remaining days were finite. Every day that you’re not positive, you are retarding your life. We all have baggage to deal with, but working on being positive and appreciative has definitely enhanced my happiness. I worked to get into my “happy bubble” by 1. Letting the noise go by, 2. Getting rid of the problem people, and 3. Keeping the loved ones in your orbit juggling harmoniously. I also started a 4H Club for all to join: Happy, Healthy, Hopeful, & Horny. lol

Me dino will at times think of the state maximum security prison I used to work at as well as some unlikable supervisors and coworkers.
Then I say "I hate hat place."
I could mention some other situations.
But to also say I hate some other things in my past just makes me enjoy my lifelong state retirement all the more.

Your focus determines your experiences in life.

I try to see the amazing amount of good, and have gratitude. We could have been born BEFORE electricity, before Plumbing... Even before FIRE.

I focus on the good things from the bad old days

Ignorance is bliss.

My grandmother used to say ....
"From the day that you're born, 'til you ride in the hearse,
There is nothing so bad, that it couldn't be worse."

Reminds me of one of my favorite lines in Slaughterhouse Five (by Kurt Vonnegut). The Tralfamadorian aliens explain to the protagonist:

"Mr. Pilgrim, a pleasant way to spend eternity is to ignore the bad times and concentrate on the good."
