Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

Well, sometimes being a little rebellious can be fun, and you and your sons made some great memories, and that is what's important. By the way, I think that I remember you saying that both your sons have Aug. birthdays right? Unless I'm confusing you with somebody else, I've got over a thousand birt...

I haven't been there, but I remember hearing the story in history class. If I recall, Washington was there when he was 18. I guess that it must be something with young people specifically, maybe realizing that our time is limited motivates some people to want to leave their mark on this world so tha...

When the pandemic was happening in 2020, and they started putting out candy at supermarkets and Walmart around here in July, I asked why they put it out so early and they said it was because they weren't sure if there was going to be any trick-or-treating that year so they were trying to get rid of ...

It sounds like you have had some awesome experiences while traveling Murf! You mentioned climbing to the top of the Pyramid of the Sun, that is something that I would love to do, but I don't know if they allow tourists to do that anymore, as I know that a lot of destinations with ancient structures ...

That's normal around here, it's been that way since the pandemic, usually by the second week of July there is already Halloween candy on the shelves. I admit that I have already bought, and eaten, 2 bags of Reese's peanut butter cups since I got back here... I just hope that my wife doesn't find out...

Honestly, while I loved the cruise, I found that the schedule restricted our time in each place, and I think the slower pace works well for older people that want to take it easy and enjoy the cruise itself, rather than the places it travels to, so if we ever go on a cruise again it will probably be...

I just woke up and re-read my post and realized that I made a mistake, I said ... As for possibly of topping this vacation.

I should have omitted the word OF, I guess that's what happens when you're up typing at 3am.

Thank you both for the kind words, and for taking the time to read it. I know it was long, but I'm glad you enjoyed it. As I mentioned, we have already promised Sam that we will definitely go back to Italy one day, as she really fell in love with the culture there, and there is so many more location...

I think that this trend of experiencing any season at any time of the year started with the Christmas in July thing, and from that they saw that good old fashioned greed could be profitable regardless of the season, so they milk it for what they can, and now they push every seasonal holiday when it'...

We went with Celebrity Cruises, they were more expensive than some of the others but they offered what we were looking for in both a family experience and destinations. I can honestly say that it was well worth the price for the experience they offer to their guests.

I'm writing this introduction right after I just finished writing the post about both vacations. By now you guys know that some of my posts can be rather long, but this post turned out to be unbearably long, I guess sometimes I go a little overboard with the details. Ha! Get it? ... cruise ship ... ...

I heard about this the other day when it happened, I listened to some of his stuff when I was a teen, but he only had a few songs that I liked. He did have some very memorable moments in entertainment, and some great quotes, one of his most famous being ... "Of all the things I've lost I miss m...

Well, I'm glad to hear that your husband is enjoying his summer, but I know what you mean, there are certain movies and things that I prefer to enjoy during their specific season because that's what makes them special. Of course, having 2 young kids means that they watch anything they want to when t...

I remember you telling that story before Murf, it's unfortunate that people like that exist but they do. There are some people that don't have a conscience, and they go through life manipulating anybody they can, it reminds me of that song Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics. Who knows why they choose that p...

In case I'm not here for the next few days I just want to wish a Happy Birthday to MauEvig on Jul. 23, as well as to Mike on the following day. I hope you're both doing well, we miss you.
