 You know you’re too old to Trick or Treat when:

10. You keep knocking on your own front door.

9.  You remove your Spanx to change your appearance.

8.  You ask for high fiber candy only.

7.  People say: 'Great Fright Mask,' 
   And you're not wearing a mask.

6.  When someone drops a candy bar in your bag, you lose your balance and fall over.

5.  You start to yell, 'Trick or...'  And can't remember the rest.

4.  You have to carefully choose a costume that  doesn't dislodge your hairpiece.

Have all my favorite candy in a big bowl for the little trick or treaters...and hoping not too many show up so I have plenty of left overs!
I'm all over #1!

Rated.
Right back atcha, Stacey!

Cathy, me too, me too.

Kyle, that one's my special Howloween gift for my galpals...
Thans for the smile as I walk out the door!
okay, lets not get silly now. I have no use for a vibrating broom, but still it cracked me up. You Sally are the goblin queen. :0)
Happy Halloween. Go Yankees!
We had this group of 9 adults dressed as Phillie come to our door. Me and the family were all dressed like Yankees.

Long story short - we beat the crap out of them.
Very funny... Happy Halloween. Go Phillies!
You do recall there was some flying broom toy based on Harry Potter that had many a young girl clamoring for them, don't you?
Funny lines!

re: ghosts of the past: Let's hope that the ghosts that come around this weekend are those of the 1922 NY Baseball Giants and the 1976 Cincinnati Reds (not too sure how many of them are ghost-ready, but whatever). Why? They're the last two National League times to win two World Series in a row. Their victims? Who else? The guys in blue pinstripes.
Bwahahaha! Still Laughing! Very Funny, Miss Sally! Very funny!
Blackflan, you took the words from my mouth.

Sheila, any time I can give you a smile is good karma for all.

Bob, thank you, I'm hoping to be the Goblin Up the Yankees Queen.

Trudge, well, nevermind.

Duane, you're having candy-induced delusions.

Chuck, backatcha, bigtime.

Silkstone, just a small treat offering.

Geoff, what, you think I have brooms around for sweeping? bwahahahha

Roger, Michael, my costume is HOME TEAM RED, WHITE AND BLUE!

Pilgrim, I LOVE those ghosts. Especially Charlie Hustle, my own # 14.
I'm too lazy to go walking door to door. I just buy a shitload of candy from Costco, bring it home, shut the drapes and turn out the lights until all the kiddies are back home all sugared up.
That vibrating broom would also make housework a lot more fun. Thanks for the chuckles, Sally. Happy Halloween!
This is SWEET!

Rated!
O'Really, I like your style!

Lisa, as usual, you make an Excellent point.

LadyM --and LISA-- let's hear some sweet sounds for the Phillies!
How about those Tigers? Yeah, well, maybe next year! ;-)
I'm a Gen Xer with numbers 7, 5 & 3 tendencies

Happy Hallowe'en Sally!
Shoot, if I had a vibrating broom, my kitchen floor and my patio would be a lot cleaner! =o)
Thanks for the laughs.
I'm posting this in the geriatric clinic.
Karin, no way. You're a sexy witch chick.

Shiral, I hear ya.

mginmn, your welcome. Can you pinch hit for the Phillies?

Steve, post it in the clinic, but don't give them the virbrating broom. I don't want that on my conscience.
Also: no one under the age of 40 finds Nixon impressions funny.
Long story short, we beat the crap out of them.

Sorry, still having candy-induced delusions.
Yanks were looking pretty good last night. Scary!
If they placed port-a-potties along the streets I could stay out longer...
Wanda is tooooo much! Sorry to be so late, but I was saving this one!
Anybody want to take bets on Eagles-Giants, hmmm?
