Title: Re: Whatcha givin out Post by Cathi04 on Oct 31st, 2005, 7:10pm It is POURING in Portland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My 8 yr old grandson isnt even sure he wants to go out trick-or-treating!!!!! We're making carmel apples.I cant imagine he will go thru the night unscathed by sugar! At any rate, the bowl is filled by the front door, and we are awaiting the arrival of the Halloween Ducks......aka, the kids who dont care about getting a littl wet. I was doing some reminiscing today. I think the biggest thing about Halloween when I was growing up was the guy down the block with the pomegranate tree! We hit HIS house first, every year, just in case the crop was small.....Mom and Dad got their picks from the goodie bags, and I got to eat pomegranates!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PFTwick or PFTweet, one and all! Cathi ;) |

Title: Re: Whatcha givin out Post by burnt-toast on Oct 31st, 2005, 7:18pm If 1 adventuresome child would make their way to our house to do some Trick-Or-treating, we would have to come up with something better than candy to make it worth their while. Since it would be our first Trick-Or-Treater ever, a $20 may be a good place to start. I guess it's a downfall of living in the sticks. When our children were younger we did Halloween parties with some neighbors every year. Held em' in our barn, set up a haunted walking trail through the woods, had haunted hay rides, and a huge bonfire. Often had 100 or more people at them. Children that attended had a ball, their parents had to man the haunted trails and enjoyed themselves as well. Haven't done one in a couple of years, we'll have to get these back on track. They were great. Tom |

Title: Re: Whatcha givin out Post by Jonny on Oct 31st, 2005, 7:56pm Trick-Or-Treaters To Be Subject To Random Bag Searches October 26, 2005 | Issue 41•43 WASHINGTON, DC—Responding to "a possible threat of terror and fright," Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced Monday that trick-or-treaters will be subject to random bag searches this Halloween season. Police prepare for a long and spooky night. "Individuals concealing their identities through clever disguise, and under cover of night, may attempt to use the unspecified threat of 'tricks' to extort 'treats' from unsuspecting victims," Chertoff said. "Such scare tactics may have been tolerated in the past, but they will not be allowed to continue this Halloween." While he would not elaborate on the specific threat, Chertoff said his office had "heard a couple spooky tales," and indicated that there was good reason to believe that Americans face "a very ghoulish scenario" this October. "We have done and will continue to do everything we can to protect citizens from those who would play on our fears," a haunted Chertoff said. "Nevertheless, Americans are advised to be in a state of readiness." National Guard troops and local police are being stationed at checkpoints in residential neighborhoods to seize the contents of any paper bags, pillowcases, plastic pumpkins, or other receptacles. Additionally, candy-sniffing dogs will be posted at regular intervals to locate and devour suspicious items. Local, county, and state officials have been placed on orange alert, with strict orders to confiscate and investigate bags containing Bit-O-Honey, Snickers, Baby Ruth, Twix, Butterfingers, Mr. Goodbar, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, gum, and any and all forms of taffy. Chertoff discusses possible perpetrators of Halloween mischief. Chertoff asked Washington citizens for their assistance, and he outlined steps that the average citizen should take to aid in the war on fright. The DHS guidelines encourage parents to report any suspicious neighbors who create potentially spooky yard displays, especially those that include candle-illuminated pumpkin faces, skeletons in windows or doorways, or repeating tape loops of werewolf howling. Chertoff recommended that law-enforcement authorities be granted sweeping new powers to ensure security, including mandatory street-corner identity checks for suspects wearing clothing designed to conceal facial features or otherwise obscure ready personal identification. Additionally, local police have been ordered to detain any individuals appearing to be ghosts, goblins, witches, or other characters designed to evoke fear. Critics of the warning say that the DHS is merely sowing seeds of unease for political reasons, pointing out that the organization has yet to present any real evidence of the threat. "This is yet another misguided and unfair example of profiling by our nation's law enforcement," said ACLU spokesperson Marilee McInnis. "It's doubtful that many G.I. Joes will be searched, but Aladdins, genies, and belly dancers should expect a huge crimp in their Halloween fun." |

Title: Re: Whatcha givin out Post by pattik on Oct 31st, 2005, 8:00pm I bought the dark Hershey kisses just for my own treat this year. Since I just got back from moving a bunch of my mom's furniture, I decided to not do the Halloween thing this year for the first time in 8 years. So far, no goblins at the door. Hopefully, I won't look out in the morning and find my yard TP'd. [smiley=laugh.gif] ;;D :o |

Title: Re: Whatcha givin out Post by cootie on Oct 31st, 2005, 8:05pm We only had about 20 kids here......we live in the sticks aka boonies too but the small neighborhood about a mile long stretch does it every year. One year someone told someone else about it and we ended up with about 100 STRANGERS. Was NOT prepared for that year ! I tried to get parent freindly treats this year (boreing).....candy cigarettes (snicker snicker) and gummy bones and some smarties and some bubble gum and startburst mixed in treats. And found a cute treat that is small bags of animal cookies. Not getting tons of choc bars helps me watch my waistline otherwise midnight craveing gooblins take over my body and I raid thru it leaveing nothin but heaps of empty wrappers as evidence in the morning and tighter pants the end of the week. (a big no no !!!)Well dam iit.....I found a few tootsie rolls in with the lot and grabbed three. Just busted half of one of my side teeth off and I now look like I should be out trick or treating as a dam hillbilly !!! Shit.....I jus wonder what THIS will cost. Pullin it comes to mind Pam |

Title: Re: Whatcha givin out Post by Charlie on Nov 1st, 2005, 7:59pm I always hand out parts of my Snickers collection. I always buy the little twerps stuff that I like too. When I was a kid, there was always one or two houses (usually old ladies) that invited the kids in for cider and apples. God, we hated that. It slowed us down. Had to fill up that pillow case, It was easier in the 50s. Baby Ruth bars were BIG way back then. http://subscribe.smileygenerator.us/new/albums//cookie%21.gif Jay Leno last night: Everyone sells "Fun Size" candy that is very tiny, so how come the kids are fatter and fatter?" "Michael Jackson thinks of trick or treat as roomservice." http://www.netsync.net/users/charlies/gifs/willy.gif Geeze. Only had about 25 kids here. Beautiful night too. http://www.netsync.net/users/charlies/gifs/where.gif Charlie (Damn. Not one Sponge Bob Square Pants attempt) |

Title: Re: Whatcha givin out Post by sandie99 on Nov 2nd, 2005, 2:06am Back here kids don't do trick or treat - thing on Halloween, but they do dress up as witches during Easter and visit their neighbourhood. They have with them decorated branches and twigs. They say a tiny spell and give that branch/twig to the people. And they get candy or cookies in return. :) Sanna |

Title: Re: Whatcha givin out Post by Sandy_C on Nov 2nd, 2005, 8:58am Only 6 houses in my neighborhood, and only one of them has children - girl 9, boy 4. Gave them each a bucket filled with Snickers, Butterfingers, candycorn, halloween cookies. I only buy Snickers and Butterfingers cause hubby likes the Snickers and I like Butterfingers! I buy big bags of them so we definitely have leftovers! ;;D |
