No trick or treaters

My dad suggested I wear a snake around my shoulders but it seemed like a good way to get negative attention for the snakes. :mad:

I don't want them being associated with fear anyway.

We had sooo many. I had to turn off my light when the 10 lbs of candy ran out.

We had about a dozen before I had to leave for work tonight at 7:00 pm, so it looks like before the night is up we will be out of candy. It is really not like it was when I was a kid. We would go out in our neighborhood and hit hit hard from the time the sun went down till people started running us off. I think most kids hit the mall here now.

One thing I did see tonight that bothered me. A mother walking with her kids drinking beer walking door to door. I am not against drinking, I do it myself it just did not seem like the appropriate time to me.

I must have got 300

I agree what happened? I used to change costumes and make another round in the neighborhood.

I didn't get a single one!!! I decorated and bought candy and everything. It was prime Tricker Treater territory! I thought we would have lots as I live in a condo complex with a neighborhood in front. Lot's of porch lights on. I am very disappointing.

I got 35 kids im all out of candy now, im in texas

We had five large bags of candy. Started handing it out at 7, we were cleaned out by 8:30, and that's with only a couple pieces per kid.

Our problem here is that there are a LOT of kids (we live near an elementary school), but not a whole lot of houses were giving out candy. There are whole stretches of dark houses that aren't handing out candy tonight.

So yeah, we were the only house on our side out of about a stretch of 7 that was giving out candy, so the kids were hitting us hard.

We got some, but not many. It makes me sad remembering how busy Halloween was when I was a kid. :(

Its not what it used to be as too many regulations now in areas to keep kids safe.

When i was a kid i would always have 3 costumes. Go out around 8-9 pm, fill one bag up, come home change and do it all over till i was tired. Now kids barely getting a small plastic bucket worth.
