Well? Are you gonna' start building your winter coat (of adipose) tomorrrow? Think you can get it all gone by Tuesday?

California Experience: Since MS-Dos 3.0 | | I read in my local newspaper today an orthodontist is buying trick-or-treat candy for $2 per pound (presumably so potential clients will not have rotten teeth). An admirable gesture of goodwill. 
Then he is donating the candy to a program that sends care packages to US service people in the Middle East...

I should have bought candy I don't like, then I wouldn't be tempted. I've got a sugar buzz already from the grape bubble gum

never give those to anyone, they might be allergic to peanuts, as I found out, I nearly died and I used to love them,
but suddenly I developed e terrible allergy against peanuts. It can happen at any age. |  | Distinguished Member with 54,749 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2001 Location: *Random People Pleaser***Sacra Experience: Having fun | | 2nd year living here and no one even knocked.
Don't know why being in town now.
Where I was at the pass 18 years it was far out so I knew why no one came by. |  | Distinguished Member with 2,275 posts. | | Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Memphis, TN Experience: Yes | | We had almost a dozen. 3 or 4 were actually in costume! <sigh> | | | Distinguished Member with 6,110 posts. | | Join Date: Jan 2002 Location: Hot, California Experience: Advanced | | Our first haloween after we moved to the really "good" side of town, the doorbell rang (for the first time) and kids were lined up all the way to the street from our front door. My candy was gone all at once. Next year we bought lots more candy!
Its really amazing that people come in to the neighborhood by the van loads all evening. WIth all the events in town put on by churches and other organizations, I'm surprised that that many kids still go trick or treating.
And, if the parents thought twice about it, they could buy their kids a lot more candy than they get trick or treating, if they just used their gas money instead that they waste driving the kids around to all the good neighborhoods.

Rolos | mmm do you love anyone enough to give them your last rolo?  the sadness of not living in the UK... all the good chocolate... Hersheys here is too rough for me... I end up buying the Cadbury bars that they have here.
I had no-one come to me... but there was only one set of kids actually doing it, and in costume too.

#11 | Over by where my dad lives no one comes to the house anymore but that is because they close off the street and this one house down the block is where they do everything at. They have done it that way for years. | | | Distinguished Member with 4,978 posts. | | Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: NJ, USA Experience: dilletante |

For a while I even had to leave the bowl of candy out with a sign saying "Please just take one" and there was candy left when I came back
It was a nice Halloween

I'll assume that's the half I don't live in
Parts of the state are really beautiful, the main problem these days is that it's so expensive  | | | Distinguished Member with 2,275 posts. | | Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Memphis, TN Experience: Yes |

#15 | I lived in Bergen County as a youngster. Once I left, I had no desire to return.
I agree, northwestern NJ is very nice. Crossing the Delaware River, though, was even nicer! (I lived in the Poconos for a while, too.) | |
