Our Hardware store put up this elaborate vampire killing kit on display.
My food is problematic.

And here is a nice little Sky&Telescope article about 2010 TK7, which is "tied" to Earth's preceding Lagrange point: [link]

Hubby managed to chat with an about-11-year-old who said they'd been told to just go to houses of people they know well. Hubby said, 'but how are you supposed to meet new people that way?" Girl's dad was not far away on the sidewalk. She seemed intrigued by that logic. He went on to say that Halloween is the night to talk to people you might not talk to otherwise, and to your grandparents and other spirits that might be nearby. Go, Hubby, with the "No, I'm not weird and to be avoided" thing,
But the girl only looked puzzled and said, "You're different." "But I'm differently different," Hubby replied. So more is added to the Mystery of the Guy on the Corner.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I would have loved to talk to your husband back when I was a kid. But then, I just wanted candy and I was indiscriminate about which houses I went to.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
My condo association does an annual haunted house for the neighborhood. This year's theme was a hospital for the criminally insane. I got to be a doctor cackling maniacally and holding up dripping intestines. And when the "director" said that hospital did cutting edge research, I got to hold up a bloody knife and screech "Yes, we are CUTTING EDGE!" with more cackling. So fun!

I'm glad to hear that story after the unmember one. Depressing.
Eta: I meant Connie's DH's second encounter, but I guess unmembering could also apply to Vortex. In the after-hours version anyway.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Castle made me cry tonight with their family dynamic. Friggin Castle! Then Buffistas got me all warm and fuzzy with their posting of wee Buffistas in halloween costumes on FB. Then Buffistas made me cry in email with their all being shiny and caring toward each other.
PS. Some of the Wee Buffistas are WAY too big and doing crazy things like walking and I'm pretty sure because I've been here since 2004, that some Wee Buffistas can in no way be such little people already.
