All the best people are crazy

Thank you.

Parties in general for me just aren't fun. I never went to school dances. Not even to prom. I went to one event my senior year and had a miserable time; just too many people. Last week was Homecoming week, and I was like, "Oh that sounds terrible; why would I want to do that?" to every event. I have a social life, but most of it tends to be in small groups. I went out with a group of about 8 people including myself the other night, and that was big for me. A lot of my social life tends to be with 1-3 other people at a time, and I like one-on-one time with people. And then I'm done with them and I go home and watch Netflix all by myself.

I agree with a lot of that. Some parties are fun, but I think most are definitely overrated. I also prefer small groups or one-on-one time with people the best.

I may have ripped into a bag of Cheetos I bought for the trick or treaters.

Only 10 so far, it is pouring. One with a clear Micky Poncho.

It is suppose to stop raining when our trick or treat hours come to an end.

how opportunistic!
it means fate wants you to chunk the candy!

And you're just telling us about this now? They've been around since 2009 and have 7 albums!

Very impressive pyrotechnics for a backyard concert, by the way.

I didnt know D:

the video was pretty interesting, because while the bodies are obviously suits.. the eyes and mouths move like CGI.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

LOVE IT!!!

I don't want to disagree, but I'm sure he "died" in the movie, with a funeral.

I looked online and 3 other endings were shot in addition to the theatrical release version, so I must have watched the one where he doesn't die. But apparently none of the endings match the ending of King's original short story!

And it's OK to disagree Betty! Otherwise how would we ever get to the truth?

I thought that title belonged to Valentine's Day. (Sorry, never been a fan of V-day, and now it just reminds me of when my mom passed away.)

I'm with you. I liked it when I was much younger, but now consider it a sham. You should show how much you love someone EVERY DAY!!

 

[catmom46]

Cool Sally . . . Jack not so much.

Who would you have picked?

 

[catmom46]

It's cold here today so I'm sending the kids out in gloves and hats.

Currently 80 degrees here, getting down to about 70 tonight.

Right on girl!!!

 

[catmom46]

I'm done playing make up artist. The boys are leaving in a bit and I'll have a little time for peace quiet and yoga

Same here - I'm going to enjoy a much needed beer!!

 

[MinnieM123]

@MR FERRET , I like your hat. Too bad the photo doesn't show the rest of your Halloween costume.

Brrrrrrrrrrr.....not! We are at 48 right now getting down to 43 tonight. But that's okay because in 12 days I will be in Orlando's warm weather!

That's true. (I actually like Valentine's Day because of hubby, but I recall a number of V. Days down through the years that were miserable, when no one was in my life.) So Valentine's Day is really different for everyone, depending upon their own unique circumstances. ( @ajrwdwgirl , I understand it is a tough day for you, because of your mom.)

I wish our kids could still dress up for school.

That's a bummer! Is it because they think it's too much trouble to regulate?

 

[catmom46]

Brrrrrrrrrrr.....not! We are at 48 right now getting down to 43 tonight. But that's okay because in 12 days I will be in Orlando's warm weather!

And your hubby is still none the wiser!

 

[catmom46]

That's really early. Kids don't ever come around here until it's dark, well after 5:30 anyway. I'd prefer they came earlier, but whatever.

Hubby, the dog, and I have a system. I buy the candy for the treaters. Hubby gives it out to the kids, and I hang out upstairs and play on the computer or watch tv. Hubby leaves outer glass door open, so the kids can see that we're home, and giving out candy. Dog sits in his favorite "lookout" spot, in the middle of our inside stairs (leading down to our first floor) and barks when the kids come near the front door. Hubby hears dog bark, and gets up from the sofa in the livingroom and gives out the candy. (We shut off our porch light at 8:00, and that's it.)

That is a fabulous system!

Wow, best of both worlds, a nice refreshing 43 now, and then you get to go to WDW in 12 days. (Did you read that @catmom46 had to deal with 80 degrees today? Poor thing. )

 

[catmom46]

I don't get how towns and cities have treat or treat times or certain days if it's raining or wicked cold? Like how do people follow it? Do they announce it in the newspaper or what?

The little ones usually start after dark. Which 6ish maybe. But not this year...HAHAHA our light is off. No candy for them.

No candy here either, but that's because there are only a handful of kids in our neighborhood, so they go trick-or-treating elsewhere.

Yes! As much as I enjoy warm weather, I am so ready for some coolness now!! =
