All things Halloween 2019!

[Trigger Time]

Helped the kids carve their pumpkins and illuminate them nightly, even in IR.
One time of year dads tactical glowsticks collection is appreciated

We don't get trick-or-treaters anymore. I see them going through the neighborhood behind me, but our street has gotten too busy, and with no sidewalks, that's pretty much killed the trick-or-treating. Oh I'll still buy some candy... for me.

don’t forget the after Halloween sales when they’re blowing that stuff out cheap!

We used to be like Rhino when it came to Halloween... with rugrats of our own theres nowhere to hide now. And yeah I’ll admit it. I pig out on Halloween candy too. Here are the best and worst according to Forbes:

Those lists are fake news, bottlecaps and lemonheads should definitely come before skittles.

Not exactly halloween related but. . . . . read it online the other day; if you ever build a deck or rebuild one go to your local store and pick up a fake plastic skeleton. Partially bury it under the deck area and leave it. In 20 years or so when the next property owner has to replace the deck they'll find the partially buried full skeleton. Use your imagination for what happens next!

I haven't been able to eat the candy (and have not) since November of 2003. So that may be part of why I am so grumpy about Halloween!

Being on a busy road and not in a neighborhood, we never have any "visitors."

I will be patient and wait for the sales. I usually store up chocolate bunnies after Easter, but I ate all those already. Time to restock.

I don't care much for straight chocolate. Gotta have peanuts or peanut butter (ie. Reeses) to go with it. Although I have heard of chocolate covered bacon which intrigues me, but I haven't seen any in the wild. I always look for the clearance sales after Halloween, but it seems like all I ever find are Smarties and other stuff I don't like. All the Reeses, Snickers and Nutrageous (I think they've been re-branded now) bars are gone.

My twins had their Halloween party at my wife’s workplace last evening. Thanks to everyone at the facility, Boone County Sheriff’s, and Lebanon Police and Fire Departments for coming out and making my kids’ day!

Chocolate covered bacon is pretty much the best thing ever. Its not hard to do, and I make it several times a year.

Oooh, I've seen it but never tried it! I'm sure I would like it.

A guy I used to work with, he and his other 2 brothers would rake leaves up in rows on either side of the sidewalk. And then lay down under them. And scare the be-Jesus out of the trick or treaters. A lot of easy obtained candy was enjoyed by all. I'm sure some of those kids have issues still today. These guys didn't give a about anything.

You have to admire their dedication to their craft.

I have to say that I miss living in base housing in my USAF days if for no other reason, Halloween. You talk about MOBS of kids since it was a very safe area. GIs who lived off base brought their kids on base for trick or treat because it was a very low speed limit (usually 15 MPH) and the people in base housing are GIs. It didn't matter if it was Florida, Iceland, or Virginia, it was always a great time.

Oh, if you're on Tapp Road in B-Town, my son who lives on the 4th floor and is giving out full-size candy bars to any trick or treater who climbs the stairs.

I use to take my kiddos trick or treating. Had to inspect all their bring home stuff. We live in a subdivision and get 100-up Treators. Only couple hours and over quickly. Shut off lights and my kiddos are now in mid 20's. They go to bar parties, wish they would take me along! Lol. Enjoy.
Suppose to rain/snow maybe?
