The part I don't understand is not wanting to get on with it -- whatever "it" is. I was dying to get out of town and out of the house and out of high school (in reverse order, I guess). And I had a great home life and a fine time in high school!

Same here, and yet my older son would have stayed home and played video games forever if I had allowed it. Younger son isn't the most ambitious person either, but his wife is so that helps. He has at least always worked.
I was outta there! My parents were great, but I didn't even stay home until I was 18.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Me too. I could not wait to get out of the house and into the world.

I got my flu shot yesterday and then couldn't figure out why my arm hurt this morning.
Is Halloween considered a bad thing in Jewish culture or is ltc's school just being super weird about it for no reason?

I mean, it's a pagan holiday, no? I understand any organization based on any other religion not wanting to celebrate it.

I guess that's probably it. I wanted to bring in some Halloween lollipops for ltc's classmates, which is allowed on other occasions. I went to public school and we always dressed up on Halloween at school.

We dressed up in Catholic school. It was one day we didn't have to wear our uniforms.

A woman I rode up on in the elevator this morning was wearing a fascinator. I'm not sure if that was meant to be a Halloween costume, or even if it counts as a costume.

I was just wondering how much guacamole I was wearing. I'll just add the lollipops and fruit treats (all individually wrapped to the trick or treater loot.
