Sorry, I had to give you a wow on that one! How could you hate dressing up, going to strangers houses, and getting free candy! ?

Not exactly how I'd like to spend a Friday evening...

Today we learned that Dane is the Scrooge of Halloween! Lol

Going to strangers houses and eating things they gave me is not my idea of fun lol. I’ll buy my own candy.

I have found myself enjoying passing out candy the past couple years tho. Which is odd because normally I don’t like to be around children. I guess if they’re just coming up on the porch to get candy it’s fine tho, they don’t have time to start whining and wiping boogers on things. But it’s nice to make people happy.

I like kids, even if they tend to use me as a climbing tree.

I guess that's the thing about growing up poor. I nor my family couldn't just go "buy candy" on a whim. Easter, Halloween, and Christmas were basically the only times in the year that I'd get a buttload of candy, and I... or rather my mom, made sure it lasted at least 3-6 months as my mother would make my brother and I ration in.

I may do the trunk or treating one of these years though. Basically it's held at my local park in my town. But it means I actually have to get up and go drive somewhere just to give stuff away for free. Nothing says dark and spooky like handing out candy from the back of my SUV in a well lit parking lot.

Don’t get me wrong, my family was poor too and candy wasn’t on the food stamps lol. But I started working when I was pretty young, so I always had some money of my own. But yea, never liked Halloween as a trick or treater.

That’s sounds even more weird.

You could do a Cujo theme. That would be spooky.

What’s scary about a doggo ?

 

[son1911]

140234
I believe the question is: What's scary about a rabid doggo?

 

[YIMBY]

140235
The dog isn't scary, the rabies is.

 

[son1911]

140236
Exactly!

Hi, YIMBY!

It's funny, as a kid I always envied the other kids that had parents which would simply buy their kids candy and the checkout counter. Asking my mom or dad, the answer was always, "no, we can't afford it." But now as an adult, I completely understand, and can appreciate that it did teach me the value of thrifting and the value of a dollar.

Yeah... to me it kinda sucks the spirit out of the holiday. It just isn't right. I mean, I do get that every year a handful of kids would get ran over by cars as I'm sure a kid in a Batman costume is not going to be seen by 72 year old Wilma driving her 2000 LeSabre if they cross the road without looking, and you never know about crazy Bob down the street... but still. It just doesn't feel right. Screw safety, those kids can walk, while I don't have to leave my front porch! Lol

 

[YIMBY]

Son! I haven't seen you since forever!

 

[son1911]

140239
Well, here I am! Not leaving my porch!

 

[FloofyNewfie]

Son doesn't leave his porch, while YIMBY goes a little further... but doesn't leave his back yard.

 

[Daneζ]

140241

I need a backyard big enough that I can go my whole life without leaving it.

 

[YIMBY]

140242
If that's where your best friend lives, why go further? ?

 

[FloofyNewfie]

140243

With Amazon, home delivery groceries, and plenty of work from home jobs nowadays, you probably could go you whole life without leaving your back yard. But, if you develop a disease or seriously injure yourself it's probably going to be a life cut short if you don't leave your property.

140244

If it’s my time, it’s my time

 

[YIMBY]

140245
That's quitter talk!

 

[FloofyNewfie]

140246

Just remember... after 3 or 4 days the doggos will probably start nibbling at your corpse. ?

 

[Daneζ]

140247

I actually wouldn’t mind that at all. In fact, I would like to just be put out on my property when I die, for the scavenging animals to monch on instead of my body be wasted, but apparently it’s not legal.

 

[YIMBY]

140248
The rest of the humans don't like scavengers getting a taste for human flesh.

When you're dead, you tend to stop caring about what happens to the hunk of meat that used to be your body.

Very true. I’m just using it as means of transportation while I’m here.

Our realities are just our brains perceiving signals from outside. Like color being the brains way of separating the signals of different wavelengths of light it receives from the eyes. It only exists in our minds ?

Good morning to you cute floofs and your fellowship companions! ?

Depending on time difference as well good evening, day or go-sleep-already!

Life's a mess and you're a spaghetti monster hovering around in a body mech, correct.
For those that didn't know: this specific religion basically uses sarcasm, but the "spaghetti monster" resembles what you would look like if your whole nervous system and brain would've been taken out of your body.

The fragility of life is a scary thing, as well as the fragility of our own mind. Memories are simply a recollection of the last time we recalled said memory, and like a game of telephone often, with enough times that a particular memory is recalled, our memories tend to get slowly more corrupted as time marches on. Not the mention the fact that one day we could be walking in our back yard, trip over a branch, hit our head on a rock, and wake up not remembering anything or even remembering everything but aspects of your personality completely change. Kind of like the guy that got into a drunken bar fight, got knocked out, and then woke up only to discover that somehow, like a switch, all of a sudden he was REALLY good at mathematics and complex geometry, whereas before he was not.

The mind, and its fragility, is such an odd thing.
