Why? Why? Why?

Kids are naturally curious, naturally energetic and naturally...well they are naturally LOUD!  Because they are curious, energetic and loud, they have to ask why...why...why...why...WHY!?  And sometimes you just want to say, BECAUSE!  But now I want to ask why...because I want a turn!

Why is it that two hours of trick-or-treating invigorates the kids, but completely wipes me out?  I mean I remember trick-or-treating for hours a couple of hours and feeling like I could go back out again and snag some more candy.  Now it's more like, okay we've been at it for five minutes an hour so let's go home.

How old is to old to trick-or-treat?  Yeah, I know it's not a why question, but it's still a question.  I was 13, the last time I did.  But nowadays kids are trick or treating well into their teens.  As long as they are behaving like civilized human beings, I say let them.  It's fun.

How much candy did you eat confiscate for safety issues? 

Why did this year go by so fast? 

Just out of curiosity,  is it just me, or do you hate buying feminine products?  And when you do, isn't it always the one time you get the young cute checker guy?  No reason...just random thinking.

Why do parents let there little girls dress up like hoochie mama's on Halloween?

What makes Oprah think she can teach ME how to SAVE money and find things for UNDER $100!?  Seriously?

And finally...do you want to know who won my little giveaway?

It was Amy from Involuntary Smiles!  Congratulations, Lovey!

Truer words have never been spoken. I agree with all of those "Why's" Especially the one where moms let their girls dress up like skanks. What on earth are they thinking?? And why is trick or treating a chore now when it was the most fun thing in the world at that age?

Yay!!!I am so excited to win! Thank you thank you thank you!you just made my day!

Great post. I only saw two shanks last night I was quite happy. And why do patents let their teenagers with no costume at all go trick-or-treating? Like I want to give them candy.

Worse than femine products is ahem.. lubricants.

I do feel weird buying feminine products which is dumb because half of the population is buying them and you know the checkers could care less. It's probably the 40th time that day they've seen it!

Good questions!!

Because they have all that childlike excitement about trick or treating!

I think as long as they are wearing a costume, it doesn't matter to me. Except when they steal my strobe lights.

No confiscation here. No kiddos!

I don't mind buying feminine products...it's condoms I am embarassed about!

Parents are stupid. Or they are clueless. I saw a young teen dressed as a "sexy maid" last night. I just had to roll my eyes at her.

Oprah...bless her heart, lol.

I always go to either Oprah or Bill (Gates) for money saving tips!

I buy tampons just so the cute young guy checker will think I'm still young enough to need them.

Lucky for me, my kids only lastest trick-or-treating around our little block.

I think trick-or-treating is for elementary aged kids, older kids should just get together for a party. . .as long as it's not too close to my house. . . haha.

Why is Halloween and Election day so close together? Why do kids never seem to have the "sugar crash" after eating all that Halloween candy?

I do hate buying feminine hygiene products! It's such a waste of money because essentially it gets thrown out within hours.

Oh yeah-the older teens with no costume at all and a pillow-case for candy (I am talking about this too on an up-coming post). So I made it tough for them-- I drilled them about what there costume was--and some were good on the fly!

YAY AMY!

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
