CANDY ANYONE????

F*ckin' Halloween!!! Candy brain here just in from errands where on my 1st stop I managed to purchase a big cup reeses cup with peanuts and promptly shove it in. The cashier musta seen my eyes glazing over when I set it on the damn conveyer belt ..."Wanan hold on to this?" he snidely asked - "um...YES!"... I was no sooner in my car b4 it was gone. You'd think that would be enough? Hell no- I am a MAN baby!! So I stop to buy razer blades so I don't look like THIS anymore: http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i34/wlsdavid/scruffy.jpg I'd like to say it's my wolfman costume, but in actuality I was outta my he-man razor blades, the ones that cost 9 bux for the small box (grrrrrrrrr)... So outta the corner of my eye I spy the Nutrageous bars. And next to that the chewy sprees. I buy both, and actually start eating the spree while in line! WTF??? I want halloween over with so I can concentrate on the important things in life... Leftover turkey, stuffin', cranberry sauce & mayo on whole wheat toast sammies... now THAT'S livin'! Happy Halloween!!! David

I am waiting til tuesday at 2 pm to buy candy, trick or treating starts at 3 pm. I might be safe for the hour. I have been told my house will be toilet papered if I dare to try handing out halloween pencils, or little bags of pretzels again, so I am thinking about the only candy I dont care for are those little root beer hard candies... will I be tp'd for those do you think? other wise they are getting brussel sprouts... as far as the turkey day leftovers, I cant believe you are not begging christmas cookies instead.

You could always put an empty bucket outside your door with a sign that says "Trick or Treat - help yourself". The kids will assume the bucket HAD candy in it, and they just didn't get there in time. Might save ya a good tp'ing *lol*

thank goodness I have to work Tuesday night. so no passing out candy. What a save!!! Koukla

Seems like every year I'm not home on Halloween night when trick or treating occurs in my neighborhood. I have a black plastic cauldron that I fill up with stuff and stick on my front porch bench. I have a lovely sign that says to "help yourself" and usually most of the stuff is gone. I filled the cauldron today with various chocolate things, some non-chocolate things, animal crackers, and little packages of peanut butter on crackers and pretzels. I shouldn't have opened the bags of stuff today, as all those little candy bars are calling my name. I've been in the peanut M&Ms. They don't even taste that good! Hope all of you are stronger than I've been, Sue O.

Sue, I have several sacks of halloween candy calling my name in the pantry. I have already eaten two sacks full. It is the first real binge since surgery. What is going on? Why do you think it doesn't fill us up like food does so we can't eat? Toni

David, Step away from the candy!! Last year I only bought candy that I don't like (anything with coconut or hot/spicy). That saved me. This year, I bought the good stuff (Reece's p-b cups, Twix & Tootsie Rolls) but I'm leaving for my next round of ps tomorrow AM so I won't be here to pass it out and be tempted to eat it, my sweet son will have that job. Instead I'll be getting "Elivra" boobs added & "bat wings" removed on Halloween - how appropriate is that??!! Hang tight and the candy craze will be over soon! Vickie J.

I'm ok with handing out the candy, but its all the candy that my kids bring home!!!! Nothing like having 2 big bags full of an assortment of goodies to set you off, LOL! But, I'll try to be strong~and hope they eat it up quickly! Tracy B

We live in condos and there aren't many kids and traditionally there have been very few that come through here.l We do have individual front doors but... And surrounded by townhomes in the same development with kids but... I will have no problem purchasing or keeping halloween candy in the house. I dump. I dump fiercely on stuff with small amounts of sugar so I haven't had a bite of the real stuff since surgery. I have no idea what a dump with any quantity of sugar would be like. Persish the thought. Needless-to-say, candy is safe from me in a heartbeat. SF candy is another story... I can eat it but I cannot keep away from it if it is here lately so best to not have it. And for me... leftover turkey with gravy on a plate with a baked sweet potato w/ whipped butter on top, please.... Kathy

You are too funny!! But, how well I relate to the CANDY. I trick myself into thinking well, 1 Small Baby Ruth won't hurt me. Then the next day its, Well 1 small Reeses won't kill me. OMG!! Let Halloween be over, soon. Woke up this morning and went , Crap..... Christmas is just around the corner, I think I will travel to Syberia this year just to avoid the dreaded.... Christmas Candy!
