Me too. Almost picked up a pack yesterday, but reason intervened.

All those caramel, chewy things are yesterday's memories, as far as I'm concerned, like swinging on a vine in the woods. - Gone forever.

Don't you just hate it when you have no choice

of Dem. candidates for local offices?

We usually have, and do in this election as well, no Dem. candidates for many of the judgeships. Apparently recruiting for those offices is very difficult, as the Ham. Co. courthouse is stacked with Republicans, though Dems have made headway in recent years for some county offices, including sheriff, auditor and coroner.

Due to our gerrymandered Congressional districts, the opposition for incumbent House Representatives are unknown names and unlikely to make much headway. I do give the lesser known candidates credit, though, for stepping up and representing those of us who would like to see a change in our House delegation.

Hamilton County - I voted all Dem today, except one write-in.

It was easy to vote for all the Dems statewide.
I needed a cheat sheet to make sure I had all the Dem-endorsed judges right. That was easy, too, as the Ham. Co Dems sent out a list.

The write-in was for county commissioner. The endorsed candidate had been asked to step aside when a sitting Repub. commissioner decided against putting a levy request on the ballot for repair of our venerable Music Hall; the initiative had been worked on by a large contingent of businessmen, headed by our now Head of Veterans Affairs, Bob McDonald, recently President of P&G.

The dummy Dem, who has never run for office before, refused to step side for a more seasoned candidate, who would have a better chance, in light of the Repub's vote, to win the seat and turn the County commission blue.

Now that is gorgeous! Time to go to the kitchen

and scrounge around in the fridge. - I think I have the coleslaw, at least.
Thanks.

I'm more inclined to go with pre-WWI.

I'm not sure that girls' hair was so loose and flowing before 1900.
I have a photo of my father in ca 1910 actually in a dress and long hair. He was raised by aunts and grandnother after his mother die shortly after his birth in 1905, so they might have dressed him like that.

What are those white things around most of the boys' necks?

"Senior" doesn't bother me. "Elderly" would be worse, though true.

My hair has be "colored" for half my age, as the grey I was getting didn't do well in job interviews at the time with HR much younger than I.
Luckily, few facial wrinkles (though the neck is looking not so great) leads most to think I'm younger than I am.

But the body is slower and ungraceful, combined with poor vision (cataracts that will be removed likely in the spring).

So I often tell people my age, but not on a forum such as DU, where many would automatically discount the thoughts of a "senior".

Well, when your neighborhood is lily-white for miles around and some face or hands reaching out

are not, that's an indicator. (For those that complain - not me, I'm good with all comers.)

There was a time when I knew all the young people in our area, but that time is long past. I'm out of touch now with that generation, unfortunately.

You can always turn off your front light, to indicate you're not

receiving Hallowe'eners.

My friend (hit and killed by a car while listening to Rush Limbaugh on headphones) complained about those brought from poorer neighborhoods, though she was a hospitable person in other ways. I never understood that.

I now live on a street with no sidewalk or street lights, and on a hill, so we get far fewer trick-or-treaters than previously. I'm always prepared for at least an average crowd, so it's disappointing when few appear. Of course the weather always plays a part in how many come.

Nice. nt
