We called at a few houses (by prior arrangement) and then I agree to let them knock on a few extra doors (with me loitering behind them). Only a couple of houses, who also had youngsters understood what "trick or treat" was all about. The kiddies enjoyed it anyway - I think the thrill for them is dressing up and being out in the dark :)<br /><br />Hope you enjoyed your weekend xMiladysahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08065128196666157541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-2918352237717720282009-11-01T16:32:44.232+11:002009-11-01T16:32:44.232+11:00baino, you gotta love bette as the perfect witch o...baino, you gotta love bette as the perfect witch of all time.<br /><br />halloween was hopping in my town tonight--more adults in costume than kids. not me though--too busy, but maybe next year.<br /><br /><br />BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!<br /><br />and LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-49784627881418879832009-11-01T01:14:37.648+11:002009-11-01T01:14:37.648+11:00No Friday Fuckwit!

The Irish just keep it going.<br /><br />Foxy, I met Bette in Tahiti of all places, she's tiny! Ran into her in a hotel.<br /><br />Nah me either River, it's a burgeoning industry here.

Instead of carving a turnip and putting a candle in it, they used the more readily available pumpkin.

There's already enough 'special' days like mother's and father's day. The last thing we need is another 'special' day where big business can push more 'must have' products onto us.
