Ha! Only if it's the neighbor kid who gave me a cat that one time.
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Old school shoe repair places rock! Ours is Ed's Shoe & Boot. He's only open completely random hours, so we keep driving by to see if he's there. He's going to patch up the SO's Birks again. Ten bucks, for another year's use.
He was open today when I drove by, and I even had the shoes with me, but I was on my way to get my hair cut, so I didn't stop. The hairdresser (new to me) was late, so I did actually have time to stop after all. And of course, the haircut took a long time, so Ed was closed by the way back.
No trick-or-treaters yet, but they should be here shortly, maybe a half hour or so. I talked to my neighbor and decided I needed to buy some more candy, so I picked some up on my way back from the salon. Hope we have enough.
Anyway, when I went, I saw a tiny display of Quaker Oats snack bars, forlornly amidst all the candy bags. I felt sad for them, like they hoped for a better and healthier America, but they knew it really wouldn't come to pass.
But not sad enough to buy them, 'cause a) I don't want my house egged, and b) I intend to eat the leftover candy.

We've slowed down. I have 8 pieces of candy left, and mr flea and Casper aren't back yet.

No one yet in my neighborhood. Plus--more candy for us. Negative--Hubby will pout. He's such a kid.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I have 8 pieces of candy left,
Phew!
and mr flea and Casper aren't back yet.
I'm sure they'll be glad to help with those last 8 pieces.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
What, no trick or treat watch n post?
Our city had Trick of Treating on Saturday. Plus, at work, and even when I am home on TorT day I have yet to have kids show up in the 9 years I've lived in my apartment since my entrance is around back and it's not obvious it's a duplex.
Hopefully there won't be any new property damage when I get home.

Man, now I feel really bad! I've never had trick-or-treaters! Of course, now I realize I've never been home at trick or treat time. Should I give them a quarter?
Edit: OK, I just ignored them, like a big meanie, WHICH I AM NOT. Next year I will buy candy, and probably end up eating it all myself.

Still not a single kid yet. Weird. I wonder whether someone in the neighborhood is having a party for the kids or something. Or maybe everyone hated our candy last year? Nah - I gave out full-sized candy bars. What's not to love??

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
yeah, I bought stuff, but I am staying at work with my web designer who has to finish a project we are working on.

What is even happening?
That's weird, Jen. Usually kids remember the houses that give full size bars.
We only get the non-lazy kids, because our house sits up high. We've had a handful so far. A devil (girl), several ninja, a couple of football players, Swow White, a dwarf (cutest homemade costume, ever), a lady bug, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel, an angel, a couple of princesses of unknown origin, and of course my own brood (Dracula, Corpse Bride, and Green Power Ranger) took candy to start with. Now we're having a lull, and I'm having popcorn (so I don't lapse into a candy coma) with red wine, which just isn't a good combination.
