Cumberland Hill was packed with trick or treaters but most tapped out by 7. My daughter had a full bag within 30 minutes so plenty of people passing out too.

In the spirit of All Hallow’s Eve, I’m fairly certain that I have a ghost that has been hanging around my house since I bought in 2016. Over the years we have noticed some strange things. I’ve caught glimpses of something moving through the house out of the corner of my eye, we have smelled the odor of a smoked cigarette at random times, random lights have been turned on, etc. About a year ago I basically told said spirit that I was cool with them being here but to quit messing with me. Seemed to work. Until tonight.

So far tonight, as I was sitting on the couch, a door on a cabinet opened on its own, I audibly heard someone walking through the house (I’m the only one home), and 4 of the 5 window blinds in the front of the house were opened at some point, when I closed all of them all last night before I went to bed.

Ghosts absolutely are real. Not sure how anyone could even deny that, really. The dead have to go somewhere.

At our old house in Newport, which was built in 1895, my wife saw the image of a ghost woman numerous times while up nursing our first two boys in the middle of the night.

I never saw her, but my wife is pretty even keel, and a geologist by trade, so pretty science minded. And if you’re nursing kids you’re obviously not fu***d up. Who knows.

I did the safe trick or treat thing. I got snack size baggies and put a few pieces of candy in each one. I counted and I had 160. I put the baggies on a table in front of my porch, while sitting well back from the table and replenished them as they were taken.

Trick or treating was scheduled from 5-8 in our area. By 6:15 I was down to about 20 treat bags. I quickly divided those in two and my daughter ran to the store for more candy. She bought 6 more bags of candy and we made up more treat bags as fast as we could. I had originally bought a box of 260 snack size baggies. I ran out of those and the last group of kids that came by just had pieces of candy tossed onto the table until they were gone. I closed up shop about 7:50 and there were still a few groups roaming the neighborhood.

I am used to having a lot of traffic on Halloween, but I was really surprised at it being so busy this year. I’m glad the kids all came out. It was great seeing all of them getting to have some normal fun.

Needless to say, suggested safe practices were not really in play. Huge groups, few masks, and 85% of the kids I had did not live in our subdivision or probably anywhere in the west end of Paducah where I live.

Had about 20 filter through from 7-10. Lass was really into it. Taking pictures of all the kids in their costumes, handing out fistfuls of candy.

Highlights were Zombie Joe Biden and a Mandolarian pushing his baby brother in a stroller dressed as Baby Yoda.

Still have a **** ton of candy left over this morning.

I'll take yesterday as successful. G scored a goal in his game, then we walked over for 2nd half of the fb game, TallGingerGuy made an appearance, neighborhood Halloween CDC approved party, the pack of 3-6 year olds we (80, CC a few others)were hearding had an absolute blast, most people were in the spirit, perfect Halloween weather, crushed a few crispers, agreeable dinner, finished the night catching up on the veulta and a little OGD 114.

A+ imo.

It got so cold and so dark the traffic slowed down by 7:15. Highlight was kid as Pennywise in the drain, with a box on his head and a flap in front with leaves. Nailed the "hellooo!"

In addition to being a historically terrible poster, MoC is also allegedly a bet welcher:

Hey. You're back. Funny that you left the board and stopped posting because you lost a bet and owe me $500... we bet on Kentucky football results over a whole season... dude even contacted me saying he would be sending blah blah blah then completely left the board.. what's funny, is he even initiated the bet..I just replied.

You going to man up and pay that bet off? Shall I supply the screenshots ??

Forgot to mention in previous post, CF and I stopped through their house with them on the way back home, and the new Jaimanth fire pit is DOPE.

Re: leftover Halloween candy. Where I am the teenagers are like coyotes or racoons. Got leftover candy you don't want? Just leave it on your front porch. The roving gangs of teenagers will come by sometime between 10 and 11 and clean it up. We had probably 200 pieces of candy at 9:00. My daughter just put it on the porch and we heard nothing for the rest of the night. By 11:30, all gone.

To wrap up a crummy weekend, I just struck out in a BTAC lottery.... I had 6 tickets. 12 bottles. Tons of entrants. Some guy had his # drawn twice. 🖕🏻 Store had an ER17 too.

November, there is a Pappy lottery, but I am zeroed in on a WLW. Next year, I reckon.

My son was a Turkey for Halloween. I took him around block, sucking on a flask of DH Heavy Wheat. Very nice. I have to sit down with it tonight and examine further.

Not even close! One of GYERO’s buddy and pal left me hanging for $600 in real life.

Had to pay it myself to avoid the stigma of vouching for a bet welcher.

As an Italian from NJ (and I don’t make generalizations), a dude who welches on a bet may as well prepare for an epic, dismantling beat down.

Pretty good crowd in our neighborhood. Good costumes and I actually enjoyed the added element of seeing people get creative with their COVID candy chutes. Highlight was maybe the guy with the air compressor hooked up to it literally shooting candy at kids.

ABH, it’s been mentioned here multiple times.

It’s been 2-3 years ago, so whatever, but when “bet welchers” comes up in here I laugh thinking about how the posts were ignored while every once in awhile someone post “was great to hang with my buddy ABH gamboling on the golf course, always a solid hang”

So you sell weed?
Cool.

I'm just another American trying to find the American dream. I had an opportunity to invest and it made sense.

It isn't as if I am living some life where I'm high all of the time and I would never promote doing so. There are substantial profits to be made in the industry and I took a chance.

Also, I don't sell weed, someone else has that job.

A friend of mine from college works in the weed business in Denver. Her job is to go out to growers’ farms and sample/test the bud to see if her employer should buy it for retail sale. So she literally gets paid to drive around Colorado and smoke all kinds of ridiculous stuff.

But I have no regrets about my career path. None at all.

I bought a Marijuana stock several years ago. Had never taken a 100% loss on a stock before, so that was something.
