Boy, what a Haloween night........

How'd your halloween night go? Did you have many "Trick or Treaters"?
I can remember when my kids were small, neighbors from other streets
would load up the cars and come to our street for candy. This year, we
had only 2. Man, I've got a lot of candy to eat. I guess the weather had
a lot to do with it, kind of cool and drizzly. Oh, well, anyone want a Butterfinger, Hershey or some M & M's? Y'all have a good day.

Never have any where I live either. Didn't even buy candy. I did go to a party where the neighborhood kids were doing some trick or treating. Fun to see the little kids all dressed up. Brought back a lot of memories.

We had a HUGE turnout.....for over 3 hours and went thru 50 bux + worth of bulk candy. Several hundred kids I think.

Literally was running out.

Good for the neighborhood though.

Although we did have some older kids filtering thru past 10 PM which I don't think is quite right.....maybe we're just getting old

The only trick er treaters we had where a few skunks.
The dog got his second dose of the fine combatants of the black and white grub yard eatin predators. So i will be out soon to find some large cans of tomato juice for his nice warm dog shaking bath...

What a great time we will have soon scrubbing his plumbs in 30˙ weather.....

Hi, Earl, I once had a German Shepherd that loved skunks! He got it twice in one month! Ph-e-e-e-w. Have fun with the tomato juice. Take a slug for me!

No kids whatsoever. Do you think it is because society is changing, what with the possibility of of razor blades, etc. in apples (which we have at least one sicko instance of every year) or the fear of h1n1 since the news has been talking about its impact on Halloween?

We gave up on passing out candy a few years back. There are no sidewalks and no streetlights, so parents don't let their kids come over here I guess. Wifey and I went to the Cav's game instead.

There is a recipe for that, I don't remember the exact mixture, but it had peroxide, salt and baking soda in it. The Farmers Coop had it posted.

No kids at my house either. I had to watch them on the news.

Thanks Bunny.
We have only used the tomato juice and noticed that it does not take all the Peppy Le Pew smell off...Usually takes a few large cans and a while to soak in....
with two baths to get rid of the smell..I'll look up a web site soon and check on mixture.

Anyone need any Halloween Candy?....... The Skunks did not want any so we are swamped with the stuff......

Okay, I was wrong about the salt, salt and peroxide is to make your dog yak.

  1. As soon as you realize your dog has been sprayed by a skunk, don some rubber or latex gloves and old clothes and look her over for bites or scratches. Also check her eyes for redness or discharge. If any injuries are found, you should contact your veterinarian before proceeding.
  2. Time is of the essence here - the longer you wait to begin the process, the harder it will be to remove the stench. Get set up for bathing your dog outdoors or in an easy to clean area of your home (laundry room, bathroom, etc). If indoors, open a window to save your nose!
  3. Apply a small strip of eye lubricant (such as Puralube) or 1-2 drops of mineral oil to your dog's eyes. This will help protect the eyes in case any of the solution splashes or drips in.
  4. In the plastic container, combine hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and liquid soap. Add the lukewarm water if needed (for larger dogs). Mix ingredients well. Solution will fizz, as a chemical reaction is occurring. Use immediately - do not store.
  5. Do not soak your dog with water prior to bathing. Promptly begin cleansing the affected areas thoroughly, massaging the solution deep into your dog's coat. You may wish to use a sponge or washcloth. Avoid getting the solution in the eyes, ears or mouth.
  6. Allow the solution to remain on your dog for at least five minutes (longer if strong odor persists).
  7. Rinse your dog well with lukewarm water. Repeat steps 3-5 as necessary until odor is gone.
  8. Dry your dog well and give her a treat!

We never get kids, so we went over to BIL's and watched baseball. He had quite a few kids coming by. It was fun to watch the little peewee's !! I took my youngest grandson up and down the street. He was dressed up as a Mexican pistolero with sombrero, serape and double pistol rig. He also had a big mustache. Too funny !!

We live in a classic, white-bread suburb, with an elementary school about 200 yards away. LOTS of kids around here, and we usually get lots of T&T'ers. But very few this year. Don't understand it, the weather was fine for it, just a little bit chilly with snow in the yards, but all sidewalks and driveways are clear. Must be a sad statement of today's society. Of course the wife went insane buying candy too.
