What is something you enjoy that for most others is torture?

I tolerate them if they are fresh and smothered with cheese sauce.

I like them just with ground pepper. I know most people can’t stand them. 

I wonder if the came from Brussels?

Let’s just say they do.

Grrr. I remember when I was younger I could never beat my bet friend, John. However, when I was in the Navy I beat the Naval station champ.

I haven’t lost at ping pong since the early ‘90’s.
But given the general quality of my opponents, that’s really not as impressive as it sounds. 

WHAT? Did you hate today's sunshine, then? This post was edited by Element 99 at January 21, 2020 6:35 PM MST

Yup!
:)

It's not that I hate sunshine (but almost), it's that I much prefer the comfort, both visually and physically, of the unassuming  blanket of overlapping gray clouds. As opposed to the glare of the oppressive sun, demanding our attention, "I will now sit here, non-stop, and beat on you relentlessly."
I tend to personalize it all in a strange way, I know.

I've been this way for forever -- I always hated that folk tale - - something about the sun and wind/clouds in a contest to see who could make a man take off his jacket or something. We're all supposed to love the sun in the story's moral or something - - the sun pissed me off, though. The wind blew hard and the guy kept his coat on -- the sun blasted hard with its heat and glare and the guy takes jacket off - - but, uh, they both were doing the same thing, trying hard what they do, yet, we're supposed to prefer the sun for some reason.

I know -- I need help. Ha!
:)

I like Amy Grant, too.
:)

Doesn't she have a song called "Angels"? I love that one! Something about "angels watching over me"

 I love her music, and she’s pretty too!

My wife dragged me to one of her Christmas concerts with a troop of girl scouts. I think I was the only male there. How embarrassing. 5,000 screaming teen and pre-teen girls. I still cringe when I think about it and every time I hear or see her name.

Forgive me -- and I don't know why - - but the added detail of being dragged to the concert "with a troop of girl scouts" makes your story even funnier to me. :)

Being tortured or torturing others? 

Torturing others. 

That was my guess based on some of your other posts, but I wasn’t sure. 

The old muggers here know, but I have toned it down. Don’t wanna get banned after all. 

Don’t do that, we need all the personality we can get here lol. Sharon made mention of something about your personality in one of my posts,  but I think it was before I met you. She went on about you liking death and torture and said “just wait? You’ll see.”
