• Stop talking trash bout my fav things!

  My sister has a really annoying habit of voicing off her opinion ALL THE TIME. I don't think she can help it. If she sees something she disagrees with, she just comes right out with it. I'm not saying she's insensitive, but her inner filter just doesn't work the same as most people's.

  I've gotten pretty used to it, and I ignore it most of the time. But one thing she does that totally annoys me is when she voices her opinion and then it affects MY opinion. I know it shouldn't work that way, and most of the time it doesn't. But sometimes after she says something, and I go back and think about it for awhile, I slowly start to agree with her. And sometimes it's just sad cause I start disliking things I once loved. For example:

  Microwaved Hot Dogs - I still love hot dogs.  They're one of my favorite foods.  I love them on the grill, boiled, (can't quite do the "raw" thing, I know they're pre-cooked but eating them cold is just nasty), and I USED to be able to microwave them.  But then my sister made the off hand comment once "ew, once you microwave them, they taste funny."  I didn't think much of it, until one day at lunch I microwaved a nice hebrew National frank for myself, and thought "hmm, this taste kind of funny".   So I threw it out, and opened a new package and nuked another.  And it tasted the same... WEIRD!  It's all her fault!  She ruined one of the few cheap foods I will actually eat   Probably forever
  
  Soft Batch Cookies - You know those choclate chip cookes that come in the red package and they're soft like fresh baked cookies?  Well those used to be one of the FEW store bought cookies I would gladly eat.  One time when I was hanging out with my sister, and offered her some and she said "ew, no, how can you eat that?  Doesn't it taste like straight preservatives?"  I responded "no, I like them".  But then I put one in my mouth, and it was gross!  All I tasted was this weird after taste for like an hour after I swallowed the thing.  I haven't had a "soft baked cookie" in about 6 years now.

  Manicures - Remember when "25 Things" on Facebook was all the rage?  This is a direct quote from my sister's: 
  15. I love getting pedicures, but I hate getting manicures. Something about a person messing with my hands and fingernails for such a long time skeeves me out.

  WTF!  Now when I get a manicure it skeeves me out too!  But I still get them because I like pink nails.

  Betty Crocker Warm Delights - I was obsessed with these about four years ago.  I ate like 1 a day.  I told my sister about them, she became obsessed with them and so did her baby.  Then I forgot about them.  About a year ago I said:  "oooooo, remember warm delights?  They were sooooo good!"
  Big Sis - "Yuck!  Those things are nasty!"
  Moi - "How come?!  We loved them back in the day!"
  Big Sis - "I know, but now they're nasty"

  I bought one just to see, and guess what?  NASTY!
  
  Chef Boyardee Spaghetti and Meatballs - "Ew, have you ever noticed that weird chemical taste?" Haven't had any since my sophomore year of college (8 years ago)

  So sad, the only positive thing is that most of these things are horrible for me.  So I really shouldn't have been doing them anyway.  But that doesn't mean I don't miss the joy they would bring me!
