Happy Halloween to all.

Now to get all the sugary candies ready, dentists are going to love me.
 
Happy halloween!

Another Halloween- another Halloween parade, production and insanity! I'm so tired that I'm just going to crawl into bed soon...too bad the damn dogs next door are going ballistic because of the trick-or-treaters! There just don't seem to be as many kids as I remember from my childhood. Poor kids, just another memory they won't get to have...no playing outside, riding your bike to the penny candy store (I know, what's that?)...everything is so controlled. Bummer- and of course, there's the fact that there were children still at school when I left! What a bummer for them!

Oh well...just another tirade! Happy candy eating!
 
Gomez... nice AV! Especially for Halloween.

Yeah, Halloween, like most "holidays," ain't what it used to be, and the kids today by and large won't ever know it the way kids in the days of yore new it... the thrill of wondering if the bigger kid in the monster mask was going to turn out to be your best friend, or roll you for your candy... was that gang coming down the street going to swap candy with you or chase you down the street... were you going to get away with TPing the neighbors yard or get caught... did anyone have the nerve to go ring the bell on the Scarey House in the neighborhood where you never, ever saw anyone home? Ah, those were the days!

The funny thing is I remember penny candy, and picking up the daily news for 2 cents and a bus/train ride was 15 cents and the driver made change.....


And I'm glad I made it to your place early to "Trick or Treat" ! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I LOVE TREATS !!!!! :kiss: :rose:

Thank You Jersey, I finally found the one I want of my "Namesake"


Trick or Treating in NYC during the 60's we used to go into all the bars and would clean up in change and bills
 
Happy November to all.

Now did everyone get the rock salt and snow shovels ready?

It was in the mid 60's today. I'd really rather not think of that just yet....

Shoot, the weather is so all over the place lately, I don't know whether to go to the beach or make sure my snow shovel is in my trunk for the winter.
 
happy weekend~! getting ready to take a nap so that I can go to job #2! It is going to be sooo cold. I'm ready though. Got my turtleneck, job shirt, and coat. Oh- and gloves!

Stay warm! Anyone got anything fun planned for the weekend? I hope so...I'd like to live vicariously through you!

Slow...

They predicted flurries on the weekend up here, so far the system is clear, no snow today.
 
Hey from jersey

30male in new brunswick piscataway area... looking to learn and meet people...

Go NJ!
 
This is going to be a bummer winter! That's for sure!

My weekend was relatively uneventful...had a good bye dinner with a good friend who's moving to Arizona...and went to a horse show. Pretty boring! Add to that the upsy-daisy stomach...i'm ready for the weekend to be over!

BUT- the Devils beat Montreal! Hooray!

Good Morning NJ and a Special Hello for you sweety (Slowgo) :rose:
 
Just dropping by to say hi to everyone. In the words of Monty Python, "We're not dead yet!" Sure is quiet around here lately.

Everyone don't forget to vote today! If you don't participate in the process, you don't get to complain about the results later.
 
Just voted. Cherry hill has the new computer voting booths. Bet you that they're more rigged-up than a sail boat!!
 
good evening, New Jersey!

just hanging around, not in any particular mood, just waiting for this month to be over! hope all is well....
 
Aw Slow, what's the matter? November is a fine month. I am not usually the holiday loving type, but somehow I am looking forward to the holidays this year! And let I point out, November has only just begin. Long way to go 'til the end of the month.

Yeah BT, when I voted we had fancy new touch screen machines. Big jobs, not the little laptop sized machines we've seen on TV. I have mixed feelings about this. Not that the old machines weren't falling apart, but there was something comforting about pulling that big red lever and knowing that it cranked a few gears to manually count your vote.
 
Still, knowing Cherry Hill, the machines are still rigged so that even if you vote republican, they'll register as democrat votes!!:(
 
Hey Jersey-
I'm just waiting for the pressure of this month to be over! My bosses are driving me absolutely crazy!!! At least I'm going to Tucson for Thanksgiving and then when I get back, it'll be the end of the month!

I got to experience that wonderful New Jersey traffic tonight while taking a friend to the airport. 45 minutes to get from the airport to the turnpike! yikes! and there was so much flooding! and of course, the weather forcast said- "light rain"
go figure!!!

have a good night!

did you catch that game last night? amazing! simply amazing! Go Devils!
