Love It or Shove It Challenge
Love It or Shove It
This is a challenge to Steempeeps issued by @snowpea. Told you I would, just had to coordinate it. I've already been nominated by three people and thanks for thinking of me @saffisara, @baby07 & @inthenow. I kind of liked the 'Love it or Hate it' myself when you were first talking about doing it Snow, so I'm going to run with that. I don't really shove things, but there are a few things I totally despise. So first we have:

- Creating - I really love just thinking about things and coming up with new and interesting ideas for stories or inventions or ways to improve on other things I love.
- Fishing - Something about the patience and excitement involved. It requires a certain focus, almost like some martial arts or meditations, that separate the bonds of reality. A simple freedom.
- Sex - Another of those things that separates the bonds of reality except with a different adrenaline rush attached than fishing. Especially when the two minds intertwine and synchronicity is present.
- Children - Most anyway, but specifically my own. I feel I've learned more about the world looking through their eyes than of all my years of schooling as they frequently remind me of things I'd long forgotten.
- Dreaming - Not just sleep, but actual dreaming. My dreams are so vivid and vibrant that sometimes, it's hard to tell when I'm actually not dreaming.

- Borders - Fences do make good neighbors and I'm all about privacy, but you would think we would have accepted that we're all human by now and each an individual. Breeding separation only feeds the fires of segregation be it cultural, religious, racial or sexual orientation.
- Hypocrisy - If someone says something to me, I take that at face value. I trust people off the bat and throw that bridge across the river. Naive maybe, and I often give people the benefit of the doubt as I want to see the best in people but as soon that bridge starts to sway and I see two faces, I will slap all four cheeks.
- Smoking - Ya, I know, I'm a smoker and I hate it. I've done a lot of shit in my time, know that, and it's the last unhealthy vice I have. I don't know how to quit.
- Time - It seems to be working against me these days. There are so many things I want to accomplish, even in the course of a single hour, and the hour is then passed and I was only half way there. Makes me wonder if I'm only half-achieving what I really should or could.
- Toys Left Out - Just a few nights ago (the most recent instance) I was heading to the bathroom in the wee hours. He he, wee wee hours LMAO omg, anyway, I'm barefoot and step on this toy frying pan situated perfectly in the middle of the entrance to the bathroom. On a hardwood floor, it acted as an ice skate and had I been just a little less aware and wasn't able to grab the door jamb to prevent my fall, I may be seriously injured. Prior to that a few nights, I stepped on a 'My Littlest Pet Shop' accessory that might as well have been a lego and twisted my ankle while smacking into the wall and biting my tongue. I HATE toys being left out.
All Done
Hopefully you know me a little better (for those that wanted to) or at least enjoyed reading this. As per the guidelines of the challenge, I am to nominate five other people that may enjoy the challenge. I was browsing the tag #loveitshoveit (which is a requirement to pass it on) to see who had already done it and saw some familiar names. See all kinds of family from #thealliance like @guiltyparties, @nainaztengra, and @elizacheng. Steemit 'celebrity' @papa-pepper (good on ya buddy!), @globocop - who I just got vaguely familiar with on @simgirlandsnook's show yesterday, fellow stacker @eaglespirit, my pirate booty @dreemsteem, and even a bunch of new-to-steemit profiles I've never seen ever like @albanyg12 & @randomlyjames. So I hope you're not too worried about this spreading around Snow. Oh ya, nominations. After going through there, people I didn't and would like to see are @katrina-ariel, @ameliabartlett, @jatinhota, @enchantedspirit, @crisangel & @princessmewmew. That was six wasn't it. Oh well. You pick 5 then. LOL Steem on my peoples!

Toy skillet left on the ground, causing you to skate for your life at top speeds. = "Flying" pan
Wee wee hours. Lol. Why am I such a child that I would giggle at that????
And speaking of inappropriate....![IMG-20180321-WA0015.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQxj1FSDB6JbvJF1RWwEeqh4WXnqCevAYfU21PHkRDmZu/IMG-20180321-WA0015.jpg)
So.... There's that.
Aha my shirt! Love it!
Nice shirt!!
Sweet! Sad to say, I really liked the left out toys part and Sex (of course).
What can I say? I'm a lively girl. :)
Life without sex is just...is that even life?
No, it is assured death ...
I liked learning more about you @enginewitty! Thanks for doing the challenge!!
Ah yes, time, always working against us, aging us, and shoving us along. I'm a smoker too. It sucks, yet I love taking a cigarette break every now and then. When I switched to Camels I stopped having that chronic cough though. I really think brands matter. Something to consider if you struggle with coughing... 🙂
At first I was worrying about this not catching on, but the cats out of the bag now and there's no going back!!😜 I started out commenting on everyone's love it/shove it posts, but now it's hard to keep up! 😂 The turning point was when I changed the rules to tag as many as you want and @papa-pepper did his. I asked him to though. 😉 We're old friends. Truth be told, I'm having a blast with this challenge though!! Have a great night! :D
I don't cough a lot, but still despise that I can't just quit like I did everything else. I smoke American Spirits and they don't have the pesticides and other preserving chemicals in them that most do. I strayed away from the 'I love Steemit' because I thought it was too obvious lol!
Yes, it's a powerless feeling. American spirits burn too slow imo, but they definitely are the healthiest choice. Surprisingly not a whole lot of people chose Steemit as a love either. Maybe others thought it would be too obvious too haha!
They do burn slow. I can smoke one cigarette 3 times lmao!
I'm with you 100% on toys being left lying around the house, Lego is a real hazard around my house. I used to love going fishing when I was younger, no time for it now - which again just like you time just seems to be escaping me - never enough hours in the day to get everything done.

We figure it out bro, then we both go fishing together :)
Oh, good Lord.
Now I'm intrigued to see yours ;)
It's the "have to choose only 5 each" that's gonna be a problem. I am a woman of extreme passions ... and plenty of 'em.
I didn't actually see a rule that forbade anyone from going beyond 5 ;)
About time we see some of those "passions", since CW blasted you out might as well give him something in return. :)
Wait? ... WHAT??? How did I miss this. (See what I mean about "no time?")
the one he kept posting ... he hasn't posted it again since the last time, which was the second time. LOL
Just do it! I almost nominated you, but I knew you would just ignore me and say you had no time. I'm sooooo happy EW nominated you. Buahaahahha
Poor soul.
I don't have time. Honest to God, I really don't.
Yeah yeah
Enjoyed reading your love it or hate it post @enginewitty and getting to know you a little better. You have a busy household, especially at night.😃 I find that time is going faster.
Lol!🚀 It sure is flying!
I look forward to learning a little more about you buddy!
Teehee! I saw the tag a second ago and you won’t believe it but I am just about finished writing mine xxxx
Wow, you write crazy fast. I thought my 90 wpm was good...you must have around 150! LOL Anxious to read it :P
It’s up! 💓🌸 thanks for nominating me xx
Woohoo! On it ;)
It's great to know a few things more about our witness besides how you support us @enginewitty. Great post buddy!!
Thanks bro!
A cool post, and I could say I am glad I wasnt tagged but this is kind of a cool challenge and was semi tagge din a comment so I may prepare one tonight on my train ride home
As for the smoking I was so like you on thta for so many years hated it and couldnt quit, but finally with me and my wife health issues i had to and quite about a year and a half ago, had a little road bump for a week recently but now of f them again but using. A Vape to help get fully off them again
I tried vaping but it wasn't filling the void. I have quit a few times before but now...I want to really bad and don't have a good solution.
Sounds like me I should have given up many years ago well I did quite a few times but never more than a month at a time
Currently the cue vapor thing is great for me
