Happy birthday, Ginger!
I had a couple dozen kids, I guess--the best costume was a ten-year-old as a zombie, but there was also a 4-year-old dressed as a flapper. Most of the rest wore commercial costumes: Spiderman, Batman, Batgirl, and one Green Lantern with a blinky light. And several princesses.
I turned out the outside light at 9 pm and took the rest of the candy to work this morning.
I cannot fathom, as a child, passing by a house with the lights on on Halloween. I mean, that's the point. But we ran wild all over the neighborhood when I was a kid, and there always ended up smashed pumpkins in the road, and usually someone's house got TP'd.
Times have changed and parents & kids all seem a lot more fearful now, although I do recall the perpetual urban legend about the apple with the razor blades in it...

The Finnish nanny was telling me this morning at the bus stop that they don't trick or treat in Finland, but on EASTER they dress up as witches (?) and go door to door. They give the homeowners a branch with a paper flower on it, and recite a little poem (the whole thing is for luck), and they get eggs, etc.
The things you learn.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Birthday Happies Ginger!!

Heh. Reminds me of "spring surprise" in that Monty Python candy sketch.

Thanks, Calli!
Happy birthday, Ginger! I hope it's pain free and filled with treats.

Oh, man. I suck.
So all last week I had no printer at work - because my cyan toner was out and I didn't have a replacement. I ordered two but thought I had magenta and yellow standing by.
Guess what?
My magenta toner ran out and when I went to grab the replacement it was for my previous printer.
So - another week without a printer. I hope that the new toner gets here superfast.
