      Was walking with my nieces/nephews and hit a house that was handing out Jell-O shots for the adults! Good people.

        That’s the attitude of someone who understands.

    My face to the clerk when I put the two-pound Hersey bar on the conveyer belt:

        I’m referring to an actual event during my teens. I’ve learned better since.

        It’s okay to take breaks, peeps recover strength and freshness in the microwave or a standard sprengel-powered vacuum chamber

    I am middle aged and went trick or treating with my wife last night. We just walked around a neighborhood we used to live in and said hi to all the neighbors, especially the ones who lived there when we did.

    Nonsense. I still go trick or treating with my kid. You just have to step up your costume game.

    The fun of Hallowe’en was and is dressing up and having fun, at least for me. The candy and such are just bonus!

    Setting up to give out candy can be just as much fun. Although I might have overdone it this year. Got lots of leftovers.

      I’ve definitely been afraid of that in recent years. Historically I’ve taken it as an opportunity for my own celebration and health be damned, but so much candy has gotten bad enough that I just don’t enjoy it.

      And no I can’t afford good candy for hundreds of screaming kids who will never know the difference.
