A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I just had a kid some to my door (hs age) with a brown paper lunch bag to hold his candy! I could not believe it.

I'm afraid my response would be a very un-PC "Are you fucking kidding me?" Did s/he at least have a costume!?

No CANDY! And I'm an insomniac, so JUST TRY to egg my house. I will cut you.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

No one has shown up at my house yet. I do see what looks like a few groups of kids on the next block down.

Chimenea, Tep?

ION, I am in flannel PJ's, with 7UP with real sugar, and a warm kitty on lap. Methinks (as far as I can think right now, which isn't much) that I will be early to bed tonight.

Have to finish a couple of paragraphs, get my stuff ready to go for tomorrow morning first.

Slogging...through...brain...mud...

Heh. Little neighbor kid came by dressed up as Captain Kirk. He got a double batch of candy.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Chimenea, Tep?

That's WAY too classy for my neighborhood. A hobo trashcan on fire IS my neighborhood's version of a chimenea.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I just had a couple of little kids. However, the teenagers with them were taking large handfuls of candy too.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Still a couple late ones coming by -- I'd guesstimate 25 kids in little bunches. Some surprisingly good makeup, and one really great homemade costume -- kid in a bathrobe with a "shower" over his head like a giant halo.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What's wrong with a brown paper lunch bag for trick or treating?

The Alters had a theme this year.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

No kids here. I kind of miss 'em.

That's why I refuse to call myself a Wiccan. I'm a hedge witch, dammit. I borrow from a lot of belief and ritual systems.

Yup. In fact, I doubt I'm even that formal.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I just feel like it isn't really big or sturdy enough. Also: no effort went into the trick/treat bag at all.

At least use an old pillowcase. I thought that was the default. Isn't it?
