NWI INGO General Post part 16

For anyone here with kids younger than mine:

Word to the wise. In 20 years no one is going to remember trick or treating on a dry 52 degree day. You will ALWAYS fondly remember the time you went out in the snow and brought home a HAUL because of all the delicate doilies who kept their equally soft kids home.

We were out there. Lousey days bring in big hauls as folks unload their bowls thinking attendance will be down. At our house, near closing time, I have the last visitor(s) open up their treat bags and I unload the bowl. Their eyes are always priceless.

Once when I was a kid and it snowed on Halloween, most of the people gave us handfuls of candy and one lady just gave us the whole giant variety bags(Snickers, Butterfingers, etc all mixed together) because we were only the second group that came and it was getting late.

Daughter got a pretty good haul!



Standing water everywhere. It's going to be a ice skating rink everywhere tomorrow morning

THIS!!! Its not fair she has so much candy and others dont.
Apply the candy tax for you and then apply the welfare tax so she has to give some to those kids that did not do it at school.

Ask her for a piece and she'll share without a problem, but tell her she has to give some to someone that was to lazy or soft to go on there own.....she knows better than that. You have to earn it!

 

[jedi]

That is how taxes work!
Those on welfare have not earned it.
Halloween time is the BEST time to teach them the theft the .Gov does with a currency she (kids) understand.

Careful. Roads are slippery. Especially bridges.

No one came to my house.

Same. Kid kept asking where all the trick or treaters were. I visited the neighbor and took a coloring book and sticker book for their 2 year old. Then we hopped in the truck to visit our 2A friendly dentists. (Yes, they pass out candy, not lame raisins or toothbrushes). Job security ya know.

 

[tv1217]

Shoot, if I was a dentist, I'd be passing out the most tooth rotting candies I could find. Making potential customers, y'know? I guess that could be considered unethical though.

Does that mean that as a mechanic you put sulfuric acid on break lines?

 

[tv1217]

Good call, probably a good thing I'm not one

 

[jedi]

We had exactly 30 visitors. Usually 75 or so.

Roads on the IL side are always free of snow and ice.
So the drive was not bad.

IN never cleans the snow or puts salt down but that is ok.
All is quite in chiraqi this morning.
