Yay for Friday....and no, not ready for Halloween. I’m like the Grinch of Halloween. LOL!

[Lady Jag]

Going pretty well, EGee. I'm walking well enough that I can pick up speed and start rescheduling missed doctors appointments and they don't actually call me speedy gonzales.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hurrah!!! Friday finally got here. It's been a looooong week.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Three cheers for our Troops!!

Seniors Should Not Go Out Halloween!!!!!!

You Know You’re Too Old To Trick Or Treat When:

10. You get winded from knocking on the door.

9. You have to have another kid chew the candy for you.

8. You ask for high fiber candy only.

7. When someone drops a candy bar in your bag,
you lose your balance and fall over.

6. People say: “Great Boris Karloff Mask,”
And you’re not wearing a mask.

5. When the door opens you yell, “Trick or...”
And can’t remember the rest.

4. By the end of the night,
you have a bag full of restraining orders

3. You have to carefully choose a costume that won’t dislodge your hairpiece.

2. You’re the only Power Ranger in the
neighborhood with a walker.

And the number one reason Seniors should not go
Trick Or Treating...

1. You keep having to go home to pee.

No matter what, have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN Anyway !!

Still catching up...

Hope you had a good Halloween and got to eat your “just in case” candy. ((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Pretty good reasons....LOL!!

[Lady Jag]

You are amazing! I could never catch up.

Told the orthopedist see you later; I’m good enough to catch up with other medical issues and now I’m booked through March. That’s how popular I am. ;º ]

Just in case, I ate my Halloween candy before Halloween. And you know what? A storm knocked out power to much of Massachusetts on Trick or Treat night and no one came, anyway.

Actually, lots of towns are still without electricity and some roads are still closed due to downed trees and branches that all practically destroyed Halloween.

A few towns came up with clever ideas for the kids, like daytime candy parades. And one I especially like is the Trunk or Treat one town invented. Much like a Flash Mob, parents emailed and tweeted and got some 70 vehicles to meet at a parking lot and turn the trunks of their cars into their front doors. Some decorated their trunks and wore costumes as the kids went around the lot trick or treating. The kids thought their folks were awesome and had a wonderful time.

What a terrific idea under such trying conditions.

I'm not sure I want to be quite that popular...take good care of yourself. Glad you have power.
