Pretty much convinced all these Halloween parties, trunk or treat events, etc. prior to Halloween are just killing the day. The massive attendance tonight was not there. You could see it, and I was dumping handfulls. I still have a ****ton.
Fire department did show up at the neighbor's who is the town head mechanic (as I was with the kid BSing) and do their annual passing out glow necklaces ( while chucking glow necklaces on the roof.) Haha

We had a fair amount of kids and the wife said there were some who came back a second time. She figured there wasn't a lot of houses giving out candy in neighborhood. Also not the amount of previous years and didn't even go thru two bags of candy.

As soon as you start singing and dancing like Mitch Miller. You can use YouTube.

We handed out zero. Thought we had one, lol, it was my dad dropping off something. Another year. Like you said, so many other events and also think it is because people are too scared to do anything outside anymore.

We had some, but not a lot. Those who did come were very timid. Kids used to bang on the door and yell "trick or treat", and now they barely tap on it and run away if you don't appear at the door in 1.5 seconds. I saw several groups of kids who had already headed back down the driveway by the time I got off the couch and got to the door.

none

More candy for me.

 

[d.kaufman]

Took the daughter out as usual. She probably came home with 15# of candy. Walked the neighborhood for the full 2 hours

 

[lonehoosier]

We had one of the biggest turn out in my neighborhood in a long time. It was crazy trying to walk down the sidewalks with all the families.

Anyone know of an honest transmission shop? '03 Tundra started doing some goofy downshifts when resuming on cruise control, then yesterday it was protesting when i tried accelerating at highway speeds.

 

[actaeon277]

Well, my dizziness just took down one of the shelves in a book shelf.
Books, binders, and papers all over the place.
Ugh.

Unless it's changed, don't use the one on 61st by I65. Bad ripoff. Had issues they fixed later but over charged and issues after. Avoid them.

You need a therapy dog to help you out?

No. I need to get off my ass and put all that crap back on. It was a shelf with a bunch of my computer books/software/etc. So a LOT of stuff on the ground.
A dog, I might just squish when I fall.

The owner is also a ClassIII gun dealer.

A lot of people bus to “nicer” or “younger” neighborhoods. Our neighborhood gets blasted with a ton of people that we know don’t live there. Most houses give out candy, and give out the good stuff. It’s gotten “worse” with people bussing in.

They used to do that to my neighborhood.
Cause the parents could drop the kids off at the entrance, the kids would walk around the block, which is the only block. So the kids would end right back at the parents at the beginning.
But, it kinda stopped.

I didn't mind. The cost of some bags of candy to make a kids day.
And I'd dress up, usually scare the kids.

 

[2A_Tom]

Most likely scared them less than if you had not dressed up, but at least you dressed.

Either 118 or 122 voters cast their ballots early this past Saturday morning in Portage.
Because of a mistake by poll workers, those voters are being asked to vote again. If they don't, the original ballots will be considered provisional and counted only after Election Day results are in.
