Lisa, I feel really bad for Violet as I use to get sore throats as well as Strep Throats a lot when I was growing up. And of course when we would go on a family vacation(which didn't happen very often)I would always end up with a sore, red throat and then it was to a doctor, on the road, and then the pharmacy for anti-biotics!!!

Lisa, I know what you mean but the Pediatricians my Mom had us see believed in children keeping their tonsils instead of removing them so now at 59yrs. I still have mine. But since I was lucky enough to contract RA my throat is always red no matter the season or time of year. The Rheumatologist I started seeing back in 1989 worked at a teaching Hospital and he would make certain that the day I had an appointment to see him he would have the students come into the examining room to look in my throat.....
For all I know he was charging them for tickets as he said my throat was always worse than the pictures in their textbooks!!!

It must be the coconut in those candy bars as I know most kids I know do not like them but of course I do not think I have met/tasted a candy bar I do not like.....I do not have a "Sweet Tooth" but a mouth full of them!!!

I know what you mean.... there was an attitude of leaving the tonsils in, which may still prevail as far as I know... whereas a couple of decades earlier they were almost routinely done on every kid. My dad enlisted in the army at age 19 during WWII and they took his out just because he still had them. |

Art, I do not remember the name of the company who makes these cases for Cell phones but there is a company who makes water proof cases. They sell them at Best Buy and they have different models but I do not know if they are good against breakage when you drop your phone.....

It's not that bad though as I'm in an apartment (where people don't really go for candies anyway), hadn't put on any decoration and it was raining so it wasn't very busy last night. I'm guessing my parents had more kids at their place but even there with the bad weather I'm thinking everybody had quite a quiet evening. My father always puts at least a wee bit of decoration (one item at times), he just wants to know that children can have candies at his place but we don't invest too much in that holiday... Have you had a lot of fun eating your candies? ...Oh, and what about those 15 - 17 years olds who walk around barely dressed up to get candies? Since when Halloween involves shopping at a sex shop to get candies that are usually made for 6 - 8 years olds?

Glad to hear you are out of hospital Greg, hope for a speedy recovery.
Art, most of the people I know with iphones have cracked screens, crazy. Think they can be fixed. Nice work Leo, on getting us back to sticky status. Here's some nice sticky buns I baked for you. |

Carl, your schedule sounds very full! Hope you have enough time for rest, relaxation and spending time with your girl.
Halloween's a pretty big deal in my city, but especially so in my neighborhood because it's old (spooky!). I'd say 90 percent of our visitors last night were from other areas - the parents drive them over. Lots of cute kids, very polite, and only a few who were taller than I was. A few blocks south of our house the police block off cars from the streets for the safety of the hundreds of trick or treaters. I'm kind of glad we don't live on those streets - I'd go broke buying candy! As for my candy intake, it was pretty minimal! Unless you want me to tell you about the bag of mini Heath bars I hid from the children earlier this week. That's almost empty now. Maybe this evening I'll settle in with a nice Almond Joy - those are meant to be savored. |

What do you think of Payday candy bars? I think they're kind of boring - what's the deal with forgetting the chocolate coating?

Last night my wife's Grandson came over for handing out candy duty....I heard one kid complain " I dont like that one" then I guess Kyle gave him another brand and the kid said "I dont like that one either" So Kyle gave him 2 more pieces of the candy the kid said he didn't like and shut the door. When I was a kid I would have never complained about some brand of candy .....kids today have a lot of nerve.

Greg, I know what you mean...we were happy to get any kind of candy. And then if you got some you didn't like as much you could trade with your friends or in my case they just went to the Hospital to be given to the children who were there.....
Lisa, I do like Paydays for all the peanuts and caramel but I could see them adding a layer of Dark Chocolate...that would taste really good.....
