jeezifonly Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Dressing up is silly fun for all ages. but if you’re an adult at work, and wearing a costume, I will talk to you exactly like I would to a child. Save it for after hours, go crazy, have fun, be outrageous. Especially if you work in a business that manages my money or is in any way connected to my health.

ICTJOCK Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Not at all. I hand out candy to trick or treaters each year. First Halloween in the new house, so will have to kind of guess as to numbers, but shouldn't be overwhelming.

So have I. I don’t enjoy dressing up in costume. I am mildly amused sometimes if someone has a really creative costume. I did go to a Halloween party last week because I really like the host and hostess. Costumes were requested so I put on my tux and went as a maître d’. I know, not very original. Some people would say my gay card should be revoked. Oh well. Edited October 30, 2023 by BobPS + Oliver, Luv2play and Marc in Calif 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ azdr0710 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Grinch here, too. I usually leave the house at sunset for a couple hours on Halloween so I don't have to answer the door, though trick-or-treaters are rare in my area. A locally well-known family -friendly neighborhood a couple miles from my place is much more popular, thankfully. Fortunately, I'll be on a plane all evening tomorrow until late and wont have to answer the door again this year! I'll only need to face various airport and airline staff dressed up and feign amusement at their antics.

I used that same costume several years back but added a tray with a masked stuffed with newspaper and some other items such asa plastic hatchet and plastic spiders in some garnish around the stuffed mask. Would walk around as a "head waiter: and ask people if they wanted some head. Luv2play, Marc in Calif, + BobPS and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) If I weren't flying home tomorrow from Venice Italy 🇮🇹 , I'd be spending Halloween 🎃 in West Hollywood with the same person I've spent Halloween 👻 with for the last MANY years, I'd be wearing that same Superman outfit in my RM ad to sushi and to the parade on SM Blvd. 😂👻🎃 Edited October 30, 2023 by Vin_Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJOCK Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 My only issue is whether I have enough candy. Not expecting a huge number of kids, much like my previous neighborhood, but I'll be ready. I'll have one of my beagles dressed up as well, we are the reception committee. marylander1940, KeepItReal, + Summerson and 2 others 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ poolboy48220 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 A few years ago I was handing out candy and my dog was with me. I had a bowl of biscuits too and would tell the kids "You must feed my hell-hound before getting candy". One kid just looked at me, took the biscuit, dropped it in his bag, and left. I heard him on the curb telling his father "That guy's just giving out dog biscuits!" + nycman, Luv2play and thomas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luv2play Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 At this moment the kids are arriving at my door thick and fast. I have lots of treats so the anxiety is absent. Some years I had to turn off the lights and retreat to the back of the house when I ran out of supplies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisParr Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 There are advantages of living in a secured community. Many of us pitched in and bought a ton of candy for the security guard to give out at the gate. Win-win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
