The Nice Thing About The Day After Halloween
I only had one trick-or-treater. I think he may have been lost but he hit the mutherload of candy. Really only needed to stop at my house. After telling the Incredible Hulk to dig deep cause' we weren't getting many treaters , I STILL have a lot of good candy left...and someone has to eat it right? No one toilet papered my house and I didn't see any demons or witches . I'm considering myself very fortunate.

We only had the doorbell ring twice. I didn't answer the door, so I don't know how many dared to visit us. I think my roommate was pretty generous, too. Yes, we have a truckload of candy left too. I'll need to do a lot of exercise after I get rid of all that candy.

Glad they didn't hit you too hard Old55. I am waiting until after the holidays to exercise. It wouldn't make much sense to do it now before Thanksgiving, Christmas and all that. In truth I get quite a bit of exercise at work some days. A few days ago I was up high on an irregular shaped roof letting a 20 ft. ladder into a hole and then climbing into the hole. I typically do lots of steps a day and roofs are common.I'm sometimes carrying things back and forth and up and down. I'm not sure the exercise offsets the 25 candy bars and two brownies I ate though.

I turned off all the lights, both of my tenants were gone for the night and I fell asleep around 6pm for a 4.5 hour nap... Then, after waking up, I turned all the lights back on and worked all night. Yay...

Craig are you safely untoilet papered? Some things happen on Halloween that can never happen again till the same day next year. On Halloween the ugliest folks on the planet can get free candy and not do anything.Just show up at the door.

I live on a street in a pretty private neighborhood with only one street in and out so not much of a worry about rambunctious teenagers.

Trick or treaters would have to be pretty hard-core to knock on my door. It's a 4 mile round trip from the nearest town.

That still leaves the zombies,witches,ghosts,vampires,warlocks,demons and rambunctious adults. lol. Before I lived where I do now I lived in another remote rural area. Not totally isolated but not really next to much either. The teens had singled my house out. I lost several mailboxes to high speed drive by pumpkin bombs. One kid gets in the back of a pickup truck and when they drive by he releases the bomb. This kid was pretty good because he never really missed. I have also been the victim of toilet papering( or the tree in my yard was). I think there weren't many targets in my area and they had a compulsion to get into mischief, and my house looked attractive. Haven't really had any trouble where I live now even though it is also fairly rural. The Amish don't trick or treat, or if they do they can't get caught.

I would say that the best bit about the day after is that we don't have to hear about it any more for another 11 months. Really don't get why anyone over 10 has any interest in it at all. For the same reason, December 27th and January 2nd are both days that I am quite fond of, although in the case of the former we only seem to get to August these days before it starts again.

We live in an older established neighborhood with well lit sidewalks. We get flooded every year with the little munchkins. The church down the street is the favored parking lot for folks from other parts of town to park and unload the kids and its like a parade going up one side of the street and down the other. Last nights highlight was a kid around 10 years old, dressed in black and a white mask, holding a fake butchers knife. His little sister was dressed as a princess. When we opened the door, my wife looked at the little girl and remarked how beautiful she looked, and then looked at the boy. He looked her dead in the eye and with the most serious voice I'd ever heard a kid that size use said simply "Michael Myers" and stuck his plastic pumpkin out. His eyes never left us. I busted out laughing and the kid didn't break character. His mother was standing at the bottom of the steps just rolling her eyes. Pretty funny stuff. Randy

Gerard says the best thing about today is that he can finally enjoy his vacation. He's greeted surprisingly many kids while on duty in front of the house last night.

I thought that I would be a bit more organised this year, and get a really good costume for my mate's Halloween party. I went into this fancy dress place in town and walked towards the Dracula style outfits. A female shop assistant asked me if I needed some help, so I told her what I was looking for. "I don't think that we can help you" she said, "You might want to try the Manchester United replica kit shop across the road." "Ah, I don't think you heard me correctly" I replied, "I said that I wanted to look like a Count..."

My mate said there's one thing he hates about Halloween. "Which is?" I asked. "Yeah," he replied, "they freak me out."

I thought it was Liverpool kits, but it it still works.

We get absolutely no TOT-ers. Our street is only 15 houses (we're on a cul de sac) and we have no street lights.
