Went to hear Ann Wright (only day she was in town). So did not get home until 8:00 P.M. Only one set of tricker treaters. Which was just as well, because it let me rest and fight off a migraine. Have candy to give away.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Person on another board I do said they'd put a bowl of candy out with a sign saying not to ring the doorbell (because their infant was asleep). Someone took all the candy, then took the bowl and threw it into the street, breaking it.
My fellow human beings really bum me out.

On the good side, one of my nieces had a really good calavera costume tonight. She had an embroidered Mexican dress and really great face painting.

Yeah did not put out bowl of candy for just that reason. Was sure would end up sans candy, bowl and possibly with vandalism. Less chance of mischief just leaving the house dark than putting out candy bowl.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
When Franny was 3 or so she was helping me give out candy and she refused to give any to the kids wearing the Scream masks because they scared her.
I think I would still refuse to give out candy to people who scare me. But unless I am renting kids, I use the awesome time-honored tradition of My Lights Are Out and You May Not Knock for Candy.
Even with the lights on, I always get almost zero people here and, well, I don't like people so the lights are just off now. It's easier for all of us this way.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Scrappy, that's a great costume! I love it when the parents get into it, too.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I don't like the color yellow, though, and the Landmarks Commission wouldn't let me change it.
