I have an excuse, I was getting my haircut.

 

[NJmike PE]

that took a long damn time

 

[frazil]

I should hope so, given the amount of money it costs!

 

[NJmike PE]

I tell mrs nj that the salon costs are too high also. Just let me cut it...

:17:

 

[NJmike PE]

I just had to school Mrs NJ in the art of buying halloween candy. she bought nerds, smarties and dumdums. While my frugal side appreciated the $2/bag, that candy is $h!t

lol, my husband only knows how to do one cut. I'd have a military buzz-cut if I let him do it.

aren't you not supposed to give smarties and dumdums out because the wrappers aren't "sealed"?

probably true. But the bigger point here is that no one comes through our neighborhood. So if we are going to be stuck with the candy, better to be stuck with good candy.

[engineergurl]

The neighborhood kids always pass by our place. My wife stocks up on M&Ms, Snickers, Milky Ways, and Reeses. Even with taking some to the office I'm always worried I'll have diabetes after going through the leftovers. Coworker of mine always brings in leftover Godiva. I want to pass out good candy but I don't care quite that much.

we haven't had a trick-or-treater since 2007 when we lived in North Carolina in an actual neighborhood.

this (both points)

 

[engineergurl]

you don't know what boondoggle is?

 

[knight1fox3]

Is it this?

If so, Fraz must prove mastering of this ability.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

To get caught up:

4 maybe 5 haircuts a year. #1 on sides and back, top is left just long enough to comb. I leave it alone until I can't stand the curls developing around my ears.

We get a ton of trick-or-treaters. Our neighborhood was "discovered" last year by those roving hordes of traveling kids, so we end up with a non-stop parade from 5pm through about 10.

boondoggle

 

[Sapper PE LS]

We get kids from all over town coming to our neighborhood to trick or treat. Apparently it's the "in" place to go for Halloween. Or maybe its cuz all the houses are over 150 years old and most probably haunted.
