Gotta see this, but then I'll realize how much I regret not being able to get one for myself.....

I figured we were doomed as a society when we started taking cultural cues from The O.C. (Chrismukkah), but now we're getting lessons on morality from Amazon (Tom & Jerry labelled as racist). We really are hopeless. Oh well, I suppose I should thank Amazon for reminding me that I was raised to be a racist--I'd forgotten for the last 48 years.

There's always hope man, don't give up!! Though, I have to admit, these end of the world scenarios don't really seem like such a terrible thing LOL!!!

I haven't completely given up hope. Common sense usually triumphs over imbecilic know-it-alls who intrepret history though their modern perpectives. Someone published The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn without the "racism" of Twain and it didn't fare very well.

People have forgotten that....IF YOU FORGET ABOUT THE PAST YOU ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT!!!!!..... So let's sweep slavery under the rug lets sweep how women were treated under the rug and let's sweep how we treated Native Americans under the rug. We can then continue to be ignorant and just go about like nothing happened and then redo all our mistakes over and over and over. We have become to soft. Squire your statement about Amazon makes me not want to shop there again. We are out of control and to think...I thought there were real problems going on like world hunger ,wars and deadly strains of Ebola among other things.......sorry my rant is done.............for now.

Anybody else getting ready for Halloween? Beautiful day for Pumpkins, football and hanging ghosts.

Yes! I begin my Halloween festivities every year by watching "The Boogieman," the 5th episode of the third season of Quantum Leap (my favorite TV series). It is the "Stevie King" episode for you non-Leapers out there. Check it out if you haven't seen it.

Started my October reading last week. I have read Orangefield so far and I am working my way through Four October's, Trick or Treat, and The October Country. I also have read Johnny Halloween. I am moving along at a good pace so I will probably add more.. including the new Ronald Kelly ebook of Halloween stories. As far as movies go. So far I have introduced my younger son ( well he is fifteen) to The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Last night I watched the new Carrie remake. Liked almost as much as the original. We will see what else as the month moves on.

also try to get a group read going on goodreads. We will be reading Douglas Clegg The Halloween Man.

We usually decorate the yard with Halloween type stuff if we are handing out candy on the big night, which is a Friday this year. My daughter is 15, so pretty much done with the trick or treat thing, but may get dressed up and hand out stuff. We have a fog machine, and a few props. Still don't know if we are doing it up or not yet - should probably decide soon.

Other than that, I like looking on the TV for some good horror type movies, but they are usually hard to find, or they conflict with other things that I want to watch. NHL regular seasons kicks off Wednesday night (finally!). Although, cheering for Toronto is a nightmare in itself a lot of times!

As far as reads: I am usually horror most times anyway, and don't have any Halloween specific reads really, unless Halloween Children shows up soon.

son's are 17 and 15 and they are still looking forward to running around getting candy. This is my oldest sons last year though. He graduates in June so I told him once in College no more trick or treating. Besides he takes his little sister out every year and keeps an eye on her. Though she's not so little anymore. She just turned 13 this past spring. God I'm old..
