    We just opened one of the bags of candies that we bought at Costco. There are some Extreme Sour candies, and Mr wtg decided to try one. He lasted about 20 seconds and then had to spit it out. Do kids really eat those things?

    Anyway, here's a story about ghost stories for Halloween:

          Halloween as a teacher isn’t my favourite, but we survived the day! Please enjoy this photo of me in my Incredible Hulk costume circa 1980.

            🤣 no idea, but some of this are pretty gross aren’t they!

            In the stuff we bought, there is something that’s a pumpkin flavored Reese’s peanut butter cup… I’m kind of scared to try it.

            We didn’t have a lot of kids, but we’re at the end of the street here, and no decorations. I think most stopped about a block from us. I enjoyed seeing the kiddos on my way home.

            Love that photo @dolmansaxlil !!

              Just two groups of two here. It’s a weird Halloween because it’s so warm, over 70. But we are on a short block of houses, only three, so probably kids don’t think it’s worth canvassing this stretch. We’ve noticed fewer visits over the years.

                    I saw her here in Pittsburgh a few months ago. I'm pretty sure you enjoyed the show.

                    We haven't had trick-or-treaters at our house for a number of years since the children who lived on our little road grew up. We're the last house on a dead end and pickings are slim so no children come around from other neighborhoods anymore.
