Today's Question(s):
ok with Halloween 1 week away I gotta ask
Who still has to get candy & stuff? Not me. I'm locking the front gate and shutting off the lights.
Anyone going to or giving a Halloween party? Nope
ok Fess up who dresses their pets in a costume? I'd wear a pink tutu and prance about like a big hairy ballerina before I'd subject my dog to a costume.

Today's Question(s):

We got our carving pumpkins at the Farmers' Market this morning, and we'll pick up candy later this week, probably Thursday or Friday. A lot of stores start marking it down at the last minute, so we try to wait as long as possible.
Anyone going to or giving a Halloween party?
Nope, we're not much into partying.
ok Fess up who dresses their pets in a costume?
Oh, right.... Have you ever tried to put a cat into clothing??? Finn and his 20 needle-sharp claws, to say nothing of his teeth, would make short work of any costume, to say nothing of the person who was sufficiently misguided to try to put it on him. Not having any desire for multiple lacerations and contusions, I don't attempt such antics.
Bonus Question:
What are your plans for this weekend?
Well, we started the morning with breakfast at our favorite local spot, joined by our daughter. Said daughter (who is the family Tech Goddess) then walked me through ordering a new laptop, which should arrive in the next week or so. The spouse and I went to the Farmers' Market, where we picked up carving pumpkins, another pie pumpkin (currently roasting gently in the oven), a stalk of Brussels sprouts, eggplant, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, green onions, cranberries and pork chops. We have reservations at our favorite sushi restaurant downtown for supper tonight, and that will be followed by another fine performance by the Madison Symphony Orchestra. As for tomorrow, if it stays dry, we'll rake up the latest accumulation of leaves in the yard, and I'll get the front garden bed ready for winter. I'm hoping to get some tulip bulbs in the ground, too. And there'll be the usual laundry, grocery shopping, a bit of housecleaning and so on throughout the weekend as well.
Now, aren't you sorry you asked???
Extra Credit Question:
What was the last thing you did that " made a difference?"
I'd like to think that I do things like that regularly, but I don't really like to talk about them. I'm a true Midwesterner in that regard, I guess; just not comfortable making a big fuss over stuff like that.
Just for Fun:
Last thing that made you just a bit "crazy?"
Well, there are those who would argue that I'm already there and don't need any help, but I will say that the meeting I had with one of the marketing managers yesterday left me feeling twitchier than usual. She's a very likable individual, very good at what she does, but she's not terribly coherent, and trying to tease out the meaning in her rambling discourse is an exercise in frustration. I think I finally figured out what it is that she wants, but I can't be entirely certain until I show her the results and see from her response whether or not I interpreted her request correctly.
Afternoon Karla & company coming to ya all from a rainy dreary IN.
Who still has to get candy & stuff ?
Not buying any unless afterwards when it goes on sale to have at home.
Anyone going to or giving a Halloween party ?
The kids have plenty of parties & haunted houses & bon fires to go to.
ok Fess up who dresses their pets in a costume ?
Nope not here
What are your plans for this weekend ?
Taking it as it comes other than church tomorrow
What was the last thing you did that " made a difference" ?
I believe I do something daily for others~~not just my family
Last thing that made you just a bit "crazy: ?
Which politician or bill would you like me to start with?
Who still has to get candy & stuff ? No. We get too many drive-bys. Vans full of kids from other areas piling out to get candy then going to other neighborhoods to do the same. I'll pass.
Anyone going to or giving a Halloween party ? No
ok Fess up who dresses their pets in a costume ?
Bonus Question:
What are your plans for this weekend ? Nada. We're letting Mrs. Tek take a much needed break. We are hoping it will help her get over the cold she's had forever. Traveling every other week has not helped.

OK. as a addition to my earlier post. the Super Chief and daughter were going on a cruise to MX. They had packed 2 bottles of Cuervo marguerites in plastic bottles. Guess what, security busted them and confiscated their stash.
Now they have to go to security and explain why they did it and be lectured by port security.
I warned them.
Gotta call the dancing girls for a party.
