Being a redhead growing up in the 80s, I kept hearing that I should dress up as Pebbles Flinstone, so one Halloween I made it happen. I got all prehistoric and even glued a plastic bone to a hair clip. My hair defied gravity. And the only reaction I remember is a woman who looked at me and said, "Oh! You're a... cavewoman!"
I always forgot to ask for pennies to fill the Unicef box they handed out to us at school and I always got lectured the next day. What can I say, teach, I had candy on the brain, and let's face it, Ethiopian kids are probably getting used to not eating.
My fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Redfern, played the movie Watcher in the Woods for the class on Halloween. Since it was put out by Disney, I'm sure she assumed it was harmless enough. Almost twenty years later, I'm still a little traumatized by it. It's the scariest movie I've ever seen, and I didn't even see the whole thing. She ended up having to turn it off halfway through because everyone got so upset. When I was in college, I told my friends this story and they insisted we rent it on Halloween. Even I assumed it would be more funny than scary, but that was not the case. Only a few were able to make it all the way through, and I wasn't one of them.
One time at a Halloween party I ended up hooking up with my friend's brother. In my defense, he was dressed as He-Man.
I only went to Salem on Halloween once, in college. I dressed up as a witch; I'm nothing if not creative. 98 Degrees was playing on a little stage. They were a new band and hadn't yet made the lasting impression on the landscape of pop music that they have today. (Give me just one night! Una noche!) They were trying to engage a mostly bored audience, and Drew Lachey asked me if I was a good bad witch or a bad bad witch. I wanted to play along, but it was such a weird question that I could only say, "What?" If only I had a time machine and could take advantage of my proximity to Nick Lachey that night, and tell him that I'm from the future and that he must not marry Jessica Simpson. Or waste another day trapped in the shadow of his mistakes.
In my early 20s I went to a friend's party dressed as an angel, and later on left my halo in the backseat of a cab. Doesn't that sound like a Bob Dylan lyric?
Also, my parents didn't start handing out full-size candy bars until after I didn't live with them anymore. What the hell?

Full size candy bars? The fuck!?! I thought those were a (sub)urban Halloween legend.
I experienced the joy of a full-size candy-bar one Halloween. I'll never forget it...it was a plain Hershey. It does happen, but rarely. It's like Halley's comet.
watcher in the woods = scariest movie EVER! seriously... what the hell was disney thinking?
Maybe I'll start a new trend and pass out cans of Campbell's soup. Or Spaghetti-O's. Kids like that, right?
Now I'm going to start having nightmares again; I'd almost blocked Watcher in the Woods out. Thanks.
Kate, it's a true story at my parents' house.
Nabbs, ha, totally! It's a candy solar eclipse.
Othur-me, do it. Make it happen.
Raetard, HEY! I didn't realize that was you. Is your blog brand new?
Joe, you tell me, Big Daddy.
Margaret, ack! Sorry!
its like another party in here, thought i should say "hi".
One of my friends ran out of candy last year, and started handing out dinner mints. It was that or instant oatmeal packets, apparently. She was leaning towards the oatmeal packets; her husband convinced her otherwise. Anyway, so Joe's suggestion of cans of soup is not that far off.
Also, I didn't know you got a new blog award (blaward)! Yay Red! Congratulations. :-)
Full size candy bars?!?! In Mississippi people just gave out pickled pigs feet and the occasional rock painted to look like hard candy.
That is why no one on Springer has teeth.
Hey Keith! Welcome, and I apologize ahead of time. If I seemed semi-normal in person, the blog will remove all doubt.
Stefanie, thanks! Er, blanks! It doesn't get old. At least not to me.
Killer, awesome. Just awesome.
They had these play-doh mini-size treats at the store. I was very close to get 'em because my inner child would've LOVED getting that as a halloween treat.
Instead we gave out skittles and starbursts.
Poo.
Now. Someone answer me this: Is Watcher in the woods the movie where there is someone trapped in a mirror? And they do this seance or something where they are all gathered up in a circle and then someone or the camera or something starts going circling in fast motion?
Because THAT is all I remember about the movie, I've never known the name of it and it has always scared the crap out of me.
Thank you.
I just had cardiac arrest reading that, so yes, I think it's the same movie.
Hi,
I'm just browsing sites for the children of Haiti.
I'm doing my part for a non-profit group that spends their time to
creating oppurtunities for the kids in haiti. If anyone wants to give money then this is the site:
[url=http://universallearningcentre.org]Donate to Haiti[/url] or Help Haiti
They give children in Haiti a positive outlook through education.
Please check it out, they're legit.
It would be awesome if you could help us

Once upon a time air travel was a great deal simpler than it is today. You called one of a few airlines that flew from your airport, the agent would tell you what flights were available for a given time, and you booked the one you wanted. Airports were always bustling places, especially during the holidays, but as long as you gave yourself adequate time, the process was usually the same. You would check your bags, go through the x-ray machine, get your boarding pass, and wait patiently at the appropriate gate. Once you got on the plane you ate the snack or meal that came with your flight and watched a movie.
In recent years travel by plane has become significantly more complicated. There are so many different configurations for flights and types of fares. Dire economic circumstances have caused airlines to raise rates and charge extra fees for everything from baggage to blankets. There are complex rules about what you can and cannot carry in your luggage. It can be very difficult to determine whether you are getting the best deal or the best services when you buy an airline ticket. The internet makes the navigation of airlines, airports, and flight itineraries easier, but, even so, be prepared to do some research if you want to find a flight at the best price.
Here is something up front that might save you time and money right off the bat. If you are traveling within the United States mainland, always look at Southwest Airlines first. Southwest is almost always the best deal you will find. However, Southwest itineraries do not appear on the major travel websites, so always go directly to the airline's website for information. Plug in your travel plans, and you will get a list of all the flights that are available. Southwest typically charges more reasonable prices than other airlines, and there are no hidden fees. The price you see is the price you get although tax and the government fee that is attached to all flights does apply. For lower prices than you can probably get anywhere else look at the "web only" fares, but keep in mind that these fares are not refundable.

It is not always easy to find details about a specific topic.
So many people just do not realize how to find the highest quality search engine results.
But you're not the only one, not by any means, because we think this is a prevalent experience for many people. What we have done is compile some solid investigation about [url=http://muahotdeal.com/thoi-trang.html]Thoi trang nam[/url] and put it in one place.
After going through this article, you will have more insight into this subject.
The general complexities of women's and men's style
Both men and women may have the difficulties of maintaining their clothing up-to-date and in time, yet men's fashion frequently feels a lot easier. Of program, for both sexes, clothes and style options may be equally as complicated, and there are many'stylish'items which could rapidly become fashion faux pas - who can say they often times see people running around in 70s flares? On the other hand, men's style includes a few choice goods that will exist forever - which man is going to watch out of position with a good-quality, tailored suit, for example? Select traditional cuts, colors and materials and you'll never seem out-of-place.
Why basic men's style is eternal
The basic man's suit has scarcely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are several varieties for various functions, but they are all common in their pursuit of a clever, sharp try to find the individual. The good thing about classic style for men is that it's effortlessly stylish effortlessly cool. A well-groomed lady can more often than not look his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this can be a testament to the style of such apparel. A suit will be used to work in many professions because of the professional look it provides to the wearer, instilling a sense of respect and confidence. Similarly a suit will undoubtedly be utilized to several social occasions, such as a tuxedo to a black-tie affair. This extraordinary flexibility that allows suits to be worn in nearly all occasions is what gives it its eternal advantage and a permanent invest men's fashion.
Contemporary trends in classic men's style
Whilst common men's styles will never be changed, it is interesting to note that shifts in men's fashion trends have brought particular basic garments back into fashion. The reputation of vintage clothing, especially, has taken back a wide-variety of classic models into men's wardrobes, such as that of the dandy man. 'Dandy'is a term used to make reference to men who dress yourself in a classic yet expensive way, placing value on appearance and acting in a sophisticated manner. This trend for nearly'over-the-top'common fashion for men is apparent from events including the'Tweed Run', wherever men and girls of all ages clothe themselves in obviously Victorian-style attire and take to the roads on vintage cycles - with lots of the men sporting perfect mustaches! This is just one of many types of research displaying the revival of such styles. There are also numerous blogs on the web which focus on gentlemanly style - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as entire internet sites such as'The Art of Manliness'focused on providing articles on basic men's fashion and grooming.
In summary, whilst specific areas of common men's style may be cut back as new trends, the essential clothes that they are based on will never fall out of fashion.
