Glitter.
Homeless 'friends'
Eating upstairs, having anything but water too

Anything with jane fonda.

Smoking

Other than these 2 things, nothing else that I can think of.

Recycling Plastic. Because so much ends up in the Ocean(10% or 8 tons) and 91% is never recycled at all even when you think it is. According to National Geographic. +++LINK+++ I put mine in the reg. garbage. So it will kill off whatever gets to it under our 200ft+ garbage mountain west of Town...It will probably even survive the next ocean covering..Due any yr now (-=

Liver and onions.

It seems every argument to ban plastic bags, milk cartons, dinner trays, straws etc. mentions plastic ending up in the ocean. There’s even a commercial that has guys dip netting plastic milk cartons.

However, where is all this plastic pollution?

“The 10 rivers that carry 93 percent of that trash are the Yangtze, Yellow, Hai, Pearl, Amur, Mekong, Indus and Ganges Delta in Asia, and the Niger and Nile in Africa. The Yangtze alone dumps up to an estimated 1.5 million metric tons of plastic waste into the Yellow Sea.”

Notice, North American, South America;, Europe, and Australia aren’t a major source of the problem.

So when I hear "banned" I think of things/subjects which are not currently present but could be introduced by a visitor (thus eliminating "cable").

With that, here's a list of things which, as partners, my wife and I Will tell a person to leave about:

Smoking. Brothers, daughters, and all others smoke at the sidewalk. Regardless of the weather.

Speaking with disrespect about God, Christ, or the Bible in general. One of my brothers is gay and one Christmas he brought a friend over for Christmas Eve dinner. After dinner and while playing some family games, the friend seemed to go off the rails during a family tradition of reading from the Bible about the birth of Christ (think; Linus and Luke ).

Halfway through I stopped reading and my brother explained it was time to go. The friend started arguing and tried to explain the party was just getting started and no-one had an issue with him staying. I went to my room, grabbed the Ruger P-90DC, held it behind my back (out of view ) and explained it wad time for all to leave.

Without knowing what was behind my back, my brother took his argumentative friend out of my house. (My brother also apologized a coupe days later and I explained the seriousness of the situation.)

Liver! Don't even say the name!

Smoking. Candy corn. Kids who jump on the furniture or carry food around all over the house.

We are fine with lamb and Brussels sprouts. I don’t get the hate there, but to each their own.

Cats.
Wife's aunt brought a cat with her here now we're infested with fleas.
And I can't use chemicals around the birds.

Siri and alexa....turned off the smart functions on the tvs as well.

A certain niece of ours. Banned for life. A total sociopath.

No outdoor shoes worn inside. Years ago, my brother in law came into our house tracking dog shit onto the oak floors and carpet.

Cats. Allergic to 'em.

Pan fried or broiled fish on our stove/oven.

Smoking indoors. All smoking, including my cigars, outside.

Jagermeister. No way, no how.

Alexa. My MIL bought us one and we returned it to Best Buy. I also turn off all the functionality in our Apple TV and IPhone

No glitter...no slime.

Parents' emails after 6:00. I have banned my wife from opening them after supper. Too many evenings ruined by snowflake/helicopter parents ranting on SWMBO even at 10-11p.m.

keurig.

I just had to laugh at that.

Television

Glitter? Why is that even a thing? Why would anyone want it in the first place?

Banned items, nothing really banned in my home per se, but some things you will never see and some behaviors are know no-go’s.

Cable news. You will never see it on my TV.

Smoking, do it outside or resist the nicotine craving while you visit.

Onions..I hate them

I'm not using that stuff any more on my lot either as I believe it knocked a couple of my cats off...
