Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

The mornings were slightly overcast, and it was hazy all day on Thurs, when I arrived. But the afternoons were clear and gorgeous after that. I think the temps were maybe in the 80s? But it felt cool and sometimes downright chilly at night, at least to me, because the humidity is so low out there. M...

Oh, I missed your post bc I was at the wedding in CA. We had a great time, and I hope you all did, too!

Thanks, HH! I'm into the final countdown now.

That sounds like so much fun! Friday Halloweens are the best.

It's been many a year since I've seen a rabbit in our yard. The more likely culprit is a possum or a raccoon.

For 14 years we had a dog in our yard. I used to see rabbits then. But other fauna have shown up since she died.

Ooh, pumpkin seeds! Around here, my blossoms always get nibbled off in the night. I'm not even doing a garden, though I may put out some containers after the CA jaunt. Flowers for the patio, herbs for the kitchen.

Sounds like you celebrated really well, HH!

I need to warn you all that my phone is dying, so if I go AWOL for a while, that's why.

And I bit the bullet this morning. Headed to CA first full weekend of June. Chicago son is going, too, but separately, obviously. The truth is, they made it almost impossible for me to say no. They even offered to pay to get me out there, which of course I couldn't allow. But I found a decent round ...

Sorry about the misattribution, HH. I think the end times will come at some point, but it's impossible to know when, and the only reasonable thing to do is to live your life as fully as possible. After all, if you believe in a creator God, it follows that He put you here for a reason. My middle son ...

Thanks for the suggestion, HH. I'm still on the fence, honestly.

It's true that every generation believes it's living in the End of Days. Sometimes I think it's almost a wish, a reluctance to believe that the world could go on without them in it. And of course your aunt is Biblically correct, Andy. Even Jesus said He couldn't tell people when it would happen, onl...
