    Hi, bulletman, did you buy any chickens? I'm about to lose one to old age. I don't think she'll last the week. She doesn't appear to be suffering, but then they hide everything so well.

    I bought some chocolate olives, but no kids came to the door, lucky them, heh, heh.

        I'm so glad you took the grandkids to trick or treat. It 's priceless seeing them in their costumes,  watching them have a blast  going door to door begging for candy. LOL ( Just remember to check the apples).

          Some crazy/ sick in the head person, stuck a razor blade in an apple many many moons ago and when the kid bit into it, his mouth was sliced to pieces.

          Not anymore! People don't only give out just candy. Some of the older folks hand out money and some people give toothbrushes. LOL
          I'm off to my clincals now. Have a good day.

            So what do you know it's pumpkin time - enjoy. I actually found, when looking for a telephone number a small cut out piece of paper with recipe for Pumpkin soup - will not be making this as no one to make it for - enjoy all the fun.

                  HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO EVERYBODY!!! I just saw a parade around the block of hundreds of kids from the elementary school a couple blocks away.....so nice that the school (same one I went to many, many, many years ago) does that now as many children here do not get to go out trick or treating as it is a high crime area (southside Chicago) or their parents can't take them or can't afford costumes so this parade made it really special for many of them. One of the neighbors told me that the teachers even chipped in to "create" costumes for the poorer kids who can't afford them! I hope they make this parade an annual tradition as this was the first and the children looked absolutely ecstatic!.....(:

                      I didn't know that. What's the significance in military terms? I feel honoured.
                      commented 12 years ago

                      I can count on both hands and one foot the number of trick or treaters that came to my door tonight. Like I wrote elsewhere, my house is at odd angles to the neighborhood....
