Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

Same here, but I think my wife and I have more fun than the kids.

Well, you can't argue with that.

I have only respect for the brave men and women that serve in the different branches of our armed forces, it is because of their dedication and sacrifice that the rest of us can enjoy our lives. Your husband is absolutely right with his opinion on the current gun laws, they give the advantage to the...

Murf - While I agree with everything you mentioned about the positive technological advancements that have come from war, I was speaking specifically about the unnecessary destruction and death that comes with war when I posted the lyrics from that song. There is no arguing that after WWII our count...

War - The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. - Most often assumed to have been said by Thomas Jefferson, though it isn't a direct quote from him. War - What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. - lyrics from the song War by Edwin Starr. Utopia is a bad word... just ask Mr. Rabbit. Someone here mi...

I had previously posted advice on how to promote your book, but it was at the bottom of a really long post, so you might have missed it. I have reposted it below for you. I have a friend that has had her books published, and she told me that even though your publisher will promote your book, that th...

My grandaunt has a devious sense of humor, I think at her age she just doesn't care what people think so she just says what she wants to, so she even tells dirty jokes in front of the kids, thankfully they have no clue what she is talking about. :lol: I've been tall and skinny my whole life, but lik...

Thanks Murf. :) I know that we will definitely be going back next year, as the family will be there to celebrate my grandaunt's big birthday. She told us that even if she doesn't make it, that she still wants us to get together to celebrate the occasion so she knows that everyone is happy, and she s...

It looks like I missed some great conversations while I wasn't here, I hope that everyone here has been doing well. :D I've been busy with life, we just got back from Florida, we were there for 2 weeks and it was our first family vacation since the pandemic. The main reason we went was to celebrate ...

Happy Birthday Andy!

If you don't have plans for later, would you like to join us for a game of wake the dead?

Andy will still be here until the human race has to leave the planet. :lol: To be honest, even if this forum were to shut down tomorrow and be gone for good, it would be possible for one of us to bring it back. As long as the evil little Google bots and web crawlers continue to gather information, t...

This forum being family friendly was one of the reasons that I joined. If anyone remembers, I was making my earliest posts with my kids sitting right here with me, but it wasn't busy here like on the Disney forums we post on, so they got bored and didn't come back, but I stuck around. Actually, I'm ...

My addendum was a general statement, and not aimed at anyone in particular. It was just my thoughts on some of the comments towards me from people that I have met that think that what I have was just handed to me, without knowing what I went through to get here. So even though it bothers me when peo...

I always enjoy your stories Murf. :) You can tell a lot about a man by the way he treats the women in his family. This is absolutely true. My aunt said she was naive about men, because she thought all men were like her father. She said girls who have been raised by good dads are more vulnerable than...

Thank you for taking the time to read my post Murf, it's very much appreciated. :) It's funny that you mentioned Jekyl and Hyde, because THAT is exactly what it was like, my father would show one side of himself to the world, but behind closed doors he was a monster. He was also attractive, so you a...
