Heavy candy day in my office. Not for me, so far, but there's been a spike in people coming to my desk just so they can get some candy.
'Safe'
Natter 74: Ready or Not
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've been stressing out about my Halloween treat buying this year because I, and more importantly my kids, read about the use of child slave labor by Hersheys, Mars, and Nestle. Ugh! What's left? But I need to have something to give away, we get too many T-or-Ters, so I finally cobbled together an assortment of Goldfish, Oreos, and various sugary candies to give away. I am assuming that those companies are probably also owned by same corporations as own the other 3, since there are only about 5 processed food companies in like the whole world, but oh well. Plausible deniability, and I can give out treats.
That's pretty cool that your kids are so socially responsible.
It comes in fits and starts, -t, but in this case the news was just so close to the holiday
I am the same way, responsible in fits and starts and mostly about the last thing I heard about. Better than nothing.
I am wearing my pink jillifont shirt (with my pleather skirt which is totally not taking Tep's advice at all, but Halloween Week! (I hear this in my head in the Dean's voice, and followed shortly by "All Saints' Day Month!")) and it's earworming me with David Bowie. Took me a while to figure out why - I guess my subconscious figures the spiders from Mars are pink (and is not particular about what song it's going to keep singing after those lyrics as long as it's Bowie)
This is the first time I'm trying to find flights across the country for Thanksgiving, and prices really suck.
New fridge arriving no later than Friday, and hopefully Thursday if we were pathetic enough to the sales guy. Now we're playing the games "Hey, Did You Remember That Was in the Freezer?" and "Guess We're Making Lasagna with Many Different Meats."
Timelies all!
I don't know what to say about that, Sue.
Back into the usual routine today.
