Great idea!In my town we had houses with these little ghost sticks to tell people whether it was ok to trick or treat there, a lot of houses had the ghost sticks which was cool.
Sorry to hear this.This wasn't a good one for me.
Bad news throughout, came home to my dead mouse.
I'll miss ya, buddy.
Oh wow - totally forgot about that 50% off thing - it's probably too late now - it's almost 11:30 here already! (crap)I took the night off this year. But since I work tomorrow I got to stay up all night. Since I live in poor side of town all the kids go to the nice side. My son to. So I buy small bag just in case peanut fee. Since my son can't have peanuts he just dose the switch from the stash. then I hit the store first thing for the 50% off candy for myself. Also watching the return of the living dead...from the 80s. The really old cheesy one
Well that's great - especially if they were polite about it. Back when it was brought up I don't think we had as much awareness of how serious food allergies can be (this was quite a few years ago).Over the years I’ve had a couple kids politely ask if any of my treats were free of their allergen. They did not want to be given something that could either make them ill or kill them. Nothing wrong with that. Saves them disappointment at home, and means more candy for other kids instead of them throwing it out.
Hey there, welcome Kiwi - just noticed the different spelling on the word MomIt was good, I worked until 5 then had dinner with my mum and watched horror movies.
I stayed home and zero trick or treaters. Its okay watched scary movies.
How fun!We had somewhere between 500 and 1,000 trick or treaters based on the amount of candy we went through (I had to make TWO runs for extra candy!). It turns out, we live a block down the way from this Harry Potter house that was featured all over the internet so we were getting all of the spillover. We also had some pretty rad decorations ourselves with our Pet Sematary. Thousands of trick or treaters converge on epic Harry Potter Diagon Alley in Seattle driveway – GeekWire
....I just sat in the fat man's recliner and waited for my eldest grandson to take pity on Pap and give him some candy.....apparently I had just the right pitiful expression on my mug and he gave me some malted milk balls.....cracked me up though when he pulled an item out of his Jack O Lantern bucket and exclaimed "There's something wrong with the lady who gave me this! It's a juice pack, not candy!!!".....ahhhh, the troubles of an 8 year old....
It used to piss me off when people gave me apples or raisins.
Me too. Now I eat them all the time. Go figure!
You guys have the awesome apples. (and bing cherries too, I think)
