I hope I can find a more country wide approach.

But thanks!

He's doing great.  Growing like a weed.  We moved to Scott AFB just outside of St. Louis a little over a month ago now.  We're loving it here.

I'm about 3 hours west and a hair north of you. Welcome back to the land of the round doorknob!

And the little shits didn't show up for trick or treating.

Not one. Zero. Nada. Zilch.

Now, before all of you accuse me of having unbelievable BO or halitosis that would knock a buzzard off a shit wagon, let's just say I showered this morning and I brushed my teeth...uh...a few days ago?

 

Seriously. Not one. Left the porch lights and foyer lights on. No takers.

Anybody want $15 worth of candy? I'll post it on E-bay later tonight....

Damn, that sucks.We bought about 30 bags of candy this year and maybe got about fifty trick or treaters from 4 to 8. I still got tons left and am giving it away at work. And it's not most of the cheap crap (Smartees, Dubble Bubble, etc.) either. Like Almond Joys, M&Ms, Junior Mints, Now and Laters, Reese's Cups..the good stuff.

We had a few trick or treaters at work, each dept had candy to give out...told a group of four boys to "help themselves" and later I realized that they took it all.  A copule of my friends stopped in so I could see their kids in costume. I enjoyed my night at work. 

The main attraction in town was a "Haunted Hotel" in which 25 different groups each had a motel room, and the kids went door to door....they also had a free "haunted house"

"The Haunted Hotel concept had a great reception with the Chamber of Commerce, Nye County Juvenile Probation, the drug court, Nye County Search and Rescue, Building and Safety and the sheriff's office.

"We have 25 hotel rooms cleared around the pool for this special night, including our hospitality suite," said Crane. Each organization is decorating the doorway and windows of their room.

Since we do not have any indoor malls here, this was a great safe alternative for familes, plus it kept alot of neighborhoods quiet...this town is spread out over 25 square miles, so it makes things difficult for parents on Halloween.

I think we had 7-8 kids, including my own. I think the rain diden't help eventhough it stopped that afternoon and diden't start back up till 9:00 or so. Only spent about 3-4 bucks on candy (Yaaaaaaaa, Dollar Tree!).

We didn't have any, but I didn't expect any.

We met friends for dinner at 8 and when I went over to their house on Saturday, I was amazed at how much candy they had left over. They live in a small 1 street subdivision, but expected kids to be "brought in", and they just didn't get hardly any treaters.

The mall had a big deal going inside for younger and outside for older kids with a band and I think that may be where a lot of people took their kids.

We used to have a gazillion treaters come by when my kids were young. The subdivision was full of them and others would be brought in by parents in cars to go through too....it was a really safe neighborhood.
