Scooby's Hubby Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 With your wit you would have to call them misfortune cookies. Yea, I was thinking NFL lock of the week and stock tips ... maybe crappy recipies or what to order when you go out to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Doobies then they can really mow through that candy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyb7 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 It's a great way to get only one trick-or-treater each season. Everyone always thought the non-candy guy was crazy....don't be "that guy". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerx Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Here's a question for ya. It doesn't directly apply, but I was curious to see what huddlers thoughts were on "what to do if you're not gonna be home on Halloween night"? Do you leave candy out front with a note that says how many pieces each kid should take? Leave nothing at all? or what? If you leave nothing, you open yourself to the 'trick' side of the holiday... if you leave candy out, you get the teenager (who shouldn't be out on the kids holiday anyway) taking the whole thing and dumping it in a bag. So what is the proper thing to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what is the proper thing to do? I'd just turn the light out. YOu could try the bowl of candy and a note and you have a decent chance of most of the little kids getting their fair share because their parents are with them and the older kids wouldn't come out til later. Typically, if I'm going to be gone we just shut off the light and people can tell that nobody is home and they just move on to the next house.

twiley Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 So, my kid got quite the haul tonight - a buzz lightyear toy, a hotwheels car, decks of mini cards with Pixar Themes, pencils, stickers, playdoh, play snakes, fingers that were bubble holders, and ton of of other non- candy crap. Oh and a crap load of candy - full size candy bars to boot. This was the first year that we really went around our neighborhood and wow, do they really hand out some good stuff.

Typically, if I'm going to be gone we just shut off the light and people can tell that nobody is home and they just move on to the next house. Last year we weren't going to be around so we left out a bowl on a table on our porch (no note)...our neighbors daughter said she saw a couple of teens start to take a bunch of the candy and my dog barked from inside the door and scared the crap out of them and they hauled a$s out of there...and I only remember this because she told us about it again tonight.

posty Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 There is a house in our complex that hands out vegetables every years... All of the kids love to go to that house... The vegetable house this year was handing out carrots, radishes, onions and potatoes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Here's a question for ya.

If you leave nothing, you open yourself to the 'trick' side of the holiday... if you leave candy out, you get the teenager (who shouldn't be out on the kids holiday anyway) taking the whole thing and dumping it in a bag. So what is the proper thing to do? We were home until about 2:30 and handing out for each kid that rang the bell. Once we left the house for the day I put a chair righ in front of my door with a box of candy for the kids to take that was pretty full. When we got home the candy was almost gone so it looks like the kids did the right thing . So we go out with this big group of kids by my in laws house. A few of the houses we visited had the box in the front thing going on and one of the kids in our group whose parents werent there and was a kid I didnt know starts shoveling mounds of candy in his bag. I walked right up to him and made him put some back. Screw that crap. I know its all about having fun but kids still need to show manners. Respect the sign that says just take 1 or 2 and say thank you to every person that gives you candy. I thing I noticed yesterday that was a little upsetting was that in all the excitement many kids were running across the streets without looking for cars. The kids think that because parents are there and the streets are congested that cars arent coming down the streets. I saw my girls do it. I didnt want to be any sort of kill joy but the first time I saw it I pulled them aside and told them to never forget to look both ways , even on and especially on halloween. They looked the rest of the day. We had a great day. We go to a friends hous every year after we trick or treat and they have all kinds of foods and desserts. I was stuffed by the end of the day.
