Sure, free booze for the gays is just a given. But I stand firm on my "no candy for middle aged straight broads" decision.

Paula, its not about the candy, dont you see? its the idea that people say "you're too old" and I say "the HELL I AM!"

Whatever gets you through the night/floats your boat/makes you happy.

I think that's sad. Costume parties & pumpkin carving are good enough to make me feel young personally. I don't get why people get so defensive & upset about aging. Maybe I'll feel differently in 20 years.

Who's giving out the candy at your house if you're not going to be there?

i stopped dressing up after that.

That whore. She obviously scarred you for life.

Im not defensive about aging, what gave you that idea? I know how old the calendar says I am and I dont have a problem with it

but I am a big kid on the inside and no amount of pity or judgemental attitude is gonna damper MY enthusiasm. I guess its a good thing for both of us, I wont be visiting YOUR neighborhood...oh and that double standard? Hypocricy is alive and well apparently.....

I still think back fondly to the last time I did it, and I had a BLAST! my girls thought it was funny and so did the neighbors (the ones that knew). My ex-boyfriend did the "dad" bit and had the flashlight and it was all in FUN.
the question about who will pass out the candy is a good one, I've actually tossed around the idea of leaving a big bowl on my porch, but I dont know....
truthfully, I havent decided exactly WHAT I am going to do. I may dress up and pass out the candy and let my daughter take my son out, its still up in the air.

^ What double standard are you talking about?

And if you leave the bowl out, the older greedy kids WILL take all the candy (happened to my neighbor.) Come to think of it, after that first year neighbor didn't put all the candy in the bowl - she gave the rest to my mom & asked her to go over there & periodically refill the bowl as needed. It worked out pretty well.

The cut off age for my kids for "trick or treating" is 12. TorT is for kids. When big teens come to my door, I get pissed. If an adult came to my door with a bag wide open, I said "you can't be serious?" and then throw something really horrible in their bag, like a rotten apple or some cleaning product or something

Throw tampons in the guy's bags - that'll show 'em.

The women would probably appreciate the donation of free products, so I'll have to think of something else for them...

you'll accomodate one group but frown on another. Whatever.

as for the greedy kids scenario, I know that happens, plus I dont want anyone to smash our Jack O Lanterns. Like I said, I havent actually made up my mind. What I'd LIKE to do and what I WILL do may be two different things.

Bikerchick, my kids imposed their own limit. they stopped when they werent comfortable with it. Makes more sense to me. Different strokes for different folks I guess. And since you HATE Halloween and I LOVE it, between the two of us, I'd say Im the luckier one...
