Glad to see you in the grid, Ruby! :-)

6:45 am

rubyfoo

This is a big holiday weekend he**, so nomail but my aidds come regardless

6:46 am

rubyfoo

6:46 am

rubyfoo

sorry

6:49 am

rubyfoo

half, yay

6:51 am

MollyL

That's right, the French make a big deal out of All Saints Day

6:51 am

MollyL

in Mexico, it's The Day of The Dead

6:52 am

rubyfoo

Yes, they put chrysasthemums on all the graves and the traffic circles

6:52 am

rubyfoo

Mexico is more fun; he** it's pretty somber

6:53 am

MollyL

The Mexicans know how to celebrate. Even when it is the dead they are celebrating. Their flower is the marigold, hence my icon today.

6:55 am

rubyfoo

I had to enlarge it to see themarigolds. Did you make the arrangement; it's very pretty

6:56 am

rubyfoo

My husband had a smallfactory in Monteray and I useed to love going th***

7:04 am

bichon

It's Nov. here. The wind and rain bought down so many leaves. Good bye Indian Summer

7:05 am

sukee

We had a couple of snow flakes, now we have wind gusts of 57 km.

7:06 am

sukee

I think "itsy" should be allowed :)

7:06 am

MollyL

No Ruby, I didn't make the arrangement. We had big wind and big rain here last night too.

7:08 am

BzznBea

We lost power last night from the wind. Not much rain though.

7:08 am

MollyL

We just got in from walking around giving out candy before the rain and wind started.

7:09 am

bichon

We had a lull in the rain during prime trick/treat hours

7:20 am

MollyL

Our big rain and wind didn't start until 9 PM, so trick or treating was over. Good for the kids.

7:22 am

hokie carla

We had BIG rain (street flooded) and lightning and wind around 5:30 or so. We had just had 2 groups. Died down around 7:00 and we had quite a few from then until 9:00.

7:24 am

MollyL

I'm always glad to hear that kids still go trick or treating. Some communities have outlawed it, and moved toward parking lot and activity center events.

7:24 am

hokie carla

yeah, that's ridiculous

7:25 am

bichon

As a child, we stopped trick/treat before 6th grade

7:27 am

hokie carla

I honestly can't remember when we stopped. My kid that's a junior stopped about 3 years ago. The older one probably stopped around the same age. I would rather older kids be ToT if they want rather than out drinking/getting in trouble somewhere.

7:30 am

bichon

In our previous neighborhood we had adults asking for candy

7:31 am

hokie carla

now that's not right

7:31 am

MollyL

Anyone in a costume gets candy from me. : D

7:31 am

bichon

One of many reasons we moved.

7:32 am

MollyL

My friend's neighbor hood does it right. All the adults sit at the end of the driveway with fire pits and coolers of beer.

7:32 am

hokie carla

well, yes, we have given candy to parents in costume with their kids but I was picturing groups of adults going around without kids when she said that :D

7:32 am

bichon

Our dog freaks out when kids come.

7:33 am

hokie carla

We did the fire pit in the driveway last year, but weather conditions did not allow that this year.

7:34 am

deanoz

it is free candy day. don't be an ass, just give out candy. it is very simple.

7:34 am

bichon

They came with kids and without. They also drove around in cars

7:34 am

rubyfoo

I used to carve a pumpkin with a candle in it and decorate the Windows with cut-paper ghost and witches

7:35 am

hokie carla

our dog ran out the door when our next door neighbors came. luckily he didn't knock anyone down. my husband used the rest of the night to work on training.

7:35 am

rubyfoo

It wasn't a og deal he** until word got out that L'AmÃ©ricaine gave out candy.

7:36 am

rubyfoo

Now my helper gave out candy until I went up to be, then turned out all the light

7:36 am

deanoz

gist

deanoz

dist

7:37 am

rubyfoo

Nobody would dare come on the property with my two lions

7:37 am

hokie carla

is this free word day? ;) you giving out words, deanoz?

7:38 am

deanoz

with parents, without parents. parents only. i don;t care. the world is a mess. we can at least give out candy on free candy day.

7:38 am

rubyfoo

Do you actually have to dog a hole in the ground to make a fire pit?

7:39 am

rubyfoo

dig* dogs on the brain

7:39 am

deanoz

ruby, it is not a "pit" without a hole.

7:39 am

hokie carla

no, we have metal fire pits on legs that are pretty easy to move

7:39 am

rubyfoo

like a bbq

7:40 am

MollyL

Ruby, around here fire pits are metal, free standing bins that people build wood fires in.

7:40 am

rubyfoo

ahah, I've been gone too long

7:40 am

MollyL

Yes, like a barbecue but with a wider container so you can use logs

7:41 am

MollyL

Back in college, we used to dig holes on the beach for fires.

7:43 am

MollyL

Fire pit:

One year, my father put a stocking over his face and the kids ran away shouting about the monster

7:50 am

rubyfoo

It sounds mean, but it was hilarious, and somekids came back with their friends to show them the monster

7:52 am

MollyL

When my oldest son lived at home he dressed up as the grim reaper. He scared kids and parents alike. It was a fun Halloween.

7:53 am

hokie carla

One year when my kids were younger I was taking them around and someone was dressed in a costume and sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch jump scaring all the kids.

7:53 am

MollyL

I don't think it sounds mean at all, Ruby. Halloween is the time for dressing up in scary costumes.

7:55 am

MollyL

You must have lived in my sister's neighborhood. She used to do that same thing, dressed as a witch.

7:55 am

MollyL

She would sit very still, so they thought she was a decoration. Then, when the kids got up to the door, she would jump up out of her chair.

7:57 am

hokie carla

yep, sounds like this guy

8:04 am

BzznBea

Morning, geek.

8:04 am

hokie carla

good morning

8:08 am

pippingeek

we had a snowy halloween, i felt bad for the kids, especially the younger ones

8:09 am

hokie carla

was still super warm here last night but now it's 38

8:11 am

hokie carla

I seem to be stuck with 45 left.

8:12 am

BzznBea

I have 7 left...Driving me nuts!

8:13 am

MollyL

Yesterday we were in the 70's. Today, 40's.

8:13 am

pippingeek

that's a big change molly, i hate when the weather has big swings like that

8:14 am

hokie carla

We had a 45 degree swing. Was 83 yesterday.

8:15 am

MollyL

I read that the mid-west got slammed with snow. Snow on Halloween would depress the hell out of me.

8:15 am

hokie carla

yeah, I wouldn't like that either

8:16 am

pippingeek

we had a few inches, i think the western burbs got much worse. i took lots of pictures of snow covered pumpkins and other halloween decor

8:16 am

pippingeek

so weird to see snow on trees with leaves

8:16 am

BzznBea

My kids are in the midwest. I know my granddaughter told her mom to just tell every on to drive to her house to give her the candy...It was too cold, she said.

8:17 am

hokie carla

one of my IN friends posted a pic of snow on her car. my cousin in CO has had snow all week.

8:32 am

BzznBea

Finally! Any clues before I go?

8:33 am

hokie carla
