Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

I'm going to continue this conversation in the other thread.

Well, the last 2 days have certainly been interesting. On Sun. morning one of my mother's dogs died. It's been awhile since we had a pet die so we called around and the only pet cemeteries near us are outside the city, and the prices they charge for a plot is ridiculous. Apparently where we live it'...

I don't know anything about fencing other than what I've seen in movies, I don't even know if there is anywhere in my area that would teach classes for it. I guess it falls into the category of things that I didn't even know people still did, like calligraphy. I learned calligraphy when I was a kid,...

I don't think people with declining brain function typically make it to those very advanced ages. Well, you're right about that, as with any of the body's other organs, it would have to be continuously functioning at a certain level of efficiency to last that long. Regarding the private conversatio...

Well, from a serious standpoint, for them to train as samurai it would require them to train with swords, so maybe when they are older. Though, I don't know if Sam would want to pursue that path, and I think that Phoebe would probably take it too seriously. I'm being honest with you when I say this,...

I know that you have a excellent long term memory just from reading your posts about your life, Murf. I think it's interesting that you mention clearly remembering your third birthday, as I have talked with 2 other people that have a great capacity for memory as well, and they both said that their t...

Her name is pronounced like SaMARa.

I just tried saying it like SAMara and it just sounds funny, like you're saying samurai.

Murf - it's the same around here, but our Walmart still has magazines, so you should probably check there. When I was younger it was actually harder on me to go without sleep, especially when I was in high school and working a full time job at night, and another job on the weekends, but now it doesn...

We didn't watch it yet because we are just going to wait until the second part of the season comes out in 2 months and watch the total 8 episodes then. So I didn't even tell my kids the new season started. Can you believe that we live in a world now where a whole season of a show only has 8 lousy ep...

I loved to watch Bewitched when I was growing up, along with The Munsters, The Addams Family, I Dream of Jeannie, Gilligan's Island, and countless other shows came out in the 60s and 70s before I was born. I absolutely loved them, and I still watch them to this day. One small thing though, we didn't...

Insomnia is the gift that keeps on giving. :D On one side it's great because there's always something to do, whether I'm up doing paperwork for business, building something, watching shows and movies, shopping online, or even archiving family history, I can always find something to occupy my time at...

I noticed that Andy hasn't been here in awhile, it looks like he went AWOL on us, but this time it means ... Andy Went Out to Lunch, and I think that I know where he went... Apparently on July 31, for one day only in Norwalk, California they turned a Wendy’s into a Wednesday's and they were offering...

My name was almost Kevin, but my aunt beat my mother to it by 5 months, and my cousin got the name before I was born. :lol: I remember you telling us about your middle name before, and I think it's awesome that your family's names are so steeped in tradition that reflect a connection to their ancest...

Well, I'm glad that you were able to retrieve some of the items, it's just a shame that happened. Another method of preservation that I also use for photos/documents, especially fragile and deteriorating pieces is large zipbags. As any old paper material will eventually deteriorate the longer it is ...

I think that I recall you mentioning Karl's name before, but I think this is the first time you have mentioned the names of your other kids, at least since I've been here. I've always been fond of the name Karl, as my favorite cousin has the same spelling of his name, and I've got a nephew named Col...
