    Shit, I came too late.

    We don’t get door to door trick or treat any more.

    So I do home made treats , and have up a sign that adults can request them for their kids. Unaccompanied kids would be SOL, but the ones we get are people that know I do it, so there’s always an adult making the request.

    I actually ran out this year entirely. There’s usually a little left over. I lost count of the cars after about thirty. Small town, word gets around past the folks that know me personally (which is how it started, me doing baggies for kids I know along with store bought packaged candy).

    Kinda funny, I was ranting earlier about how Halloween got screwed up because of jerks messing with kids, and it breaking the point of Halloween. But this is the busiest year I’ve had in ages because I went old school lol.

      That’s really cool and it’s pretty sad how corporate everything has become. I’m scared to eat anything even made by people I know though. Except for one of the two germaphobes I know. She doesn’t have pets and her apartment could double as an iso 5 cleanroom.

    That’s barely enough for three kids.

      My wife strongly objected to me buying a box of candy when we were at Costco, so I don’t have any.
