I got some trick-or-treaters, but not nearly as many as I was expecting. They mostly seemed to come in groups this year, some of them large groups! I stayed home, watched Michael Myers movies (my favorite of the big horror series [the old John Carpenter ones!], and of course the best-suited for Halloween!), and gave out candy. My husband was out helping our friend move. We have a huge bowl of candy left. Good thing we mostly got the types of candy we like a lot. :bigsmile: I have to take it easy, though. Can’t eat this stuff like I used to. Too much sugar! :O
We carved a jack-o-lantern (I usually draw a fanged, grinning face on it and my husband carves), and I was going to do my usual tradition of standing it up on some crates and wrapping a hooded cloak around it, but couldn’t find the cloak this year. So it just sat there looking like a normal jack-o-lantern, and I was too disappointed to get a picture of it. It’s begun to age now so a pic now wouldn’t really be any good.

Lol, I’m in the middle of the country all by myself! 🙁
Firefox serves me well, by the way.

Have to share a picture of my new elf ears… actually, I got them for a Vulcan costume (I’m hoping to make it to Starfest next year after a few years of not making it!), but right now, the fantasy fan in me is enjoying being an elf! :bigsmile:
And 96037, congratulations on the weight loss. 90 pounds?! Great job!

^Whew, yes, it’s good they found that! Sorry to hear about the stuff you had to go through, though. 🙁 Oh what mortal shells we dwell in!

Welcome back! I wasn’t a part of the forum family when you were around before, but I was a part of the greater Windstone universe as I got my first Windstones in the 90s! Lol.
Hope you enjoy being back and get to stick around!

Some people call off work because they have a hangover or they want to go to a sports game… Windstone nerds call off so they can make illustrated storybooks dedicated to their addiction. :bigsmile:

I’m sorry but I found it REALLY amusing when I saw Melody’s post simply saying “Yes,” with no quote or anything to explain what the heck she was talking about. :bigsmile:
I’m sure she was answering the question that was directly asked to her, but since it wasn’t from the post directly above hers, it made for an amusing read when reading the posts in order.While I like “hoarder dragon” and think it sounds a little better, bandit dragon’s not bad.

I just saw this thread- wow, what crappy news! Glad it wasn’t worse but it still really sucks. If a dozen Windstones were taken from my place, I don’t think I’d have any left! 🙁 I’d also go crazy if my gaming consoles were stolen (or especially any of my older games!). Robberies suck!
Good for you, putting in better locks- I really should do that too, and our windows don’t even have locks! Gulp. Also, good for you in reporting your neighbor. I hope he doesn’t get away with this, or his other antics (even if he didn’t do this).
Sorry to hear about your losses and the damage to your home. Let us know what happens with the investigation.

I know most food available to us Americans is utter crap, but honestly I try not to dwell too much on it. I think about it somewhat and purchase accordingly to an extent, but to *truly* eat well and healthy (not to mention taking consideration of animals’ well-being when buying meat) takes a lot of time/research, often special resources, AND money.
My diet really could be better, but it’s better than a lot of those around me seems to be, lol. For things that I have the option of buying whole wheat/whole grain, I do (bread, noodles, tortillas etc.). Plus cereal like Grape Nuts or shredded wheat most mornings.
I do sometimes go the route of quick/ easy, ultra- processed dinners that come in boxes with directions but I also cook real meals with meat and veggies. My husband and I like our meat but we often do a couple or a few meatless dinners a week and we eat poultry more than pork or beef. We’re not opposed to having a dinner of just salad sometimes.
I drink soda somewhat rarely, just when I have something that it goes really well with like pizza or fast food. Yep, I indulge in those demon foods sometimes. My worst habit is probably ice cream. I’m always stocked on ice cream in my freezer and have some close to every night, although I’ve been cutting back on my ice cream portions lately instead of having big ol’ bowl fulls, lol! I love my ice cream!
I at least tend not to have junky snacks. I wouldn’t even enjoy eating a bag of chips by itself. For my snack I have fruit between meals most days, my favorites being basically the most common: oranges, bananas, apples.But yeah, I kinda mix it up with the junk and the healthiness, heh.
I wish my husband wasn’t so addicted to Pepsi (drinking at *least* a few a day), and he has fast food a little more often than I do, too. 🙁 Maybe someday my nagging about that will take effect…I’m a big believer in exercise though! I’m a fan of walking, jogging, weight-lifting and situps.
And how I ever managed to type that much about my un-interesting diet is beyond me.

I totally see a Graboid tongue from the movie Tremors! For those who haven’t seen the movie, Graboids are large monsters that live beneath the ground. They can reach up for prey with just their (multiple) tongues, or can also emerge more of their body.
As a Tremors fan, I’d be happy to have that stick! :bigsmile:
Alternatively, it makes a cool wizard staff with a dragon head.

^A cute pair you have there!
And Falcolf, I know this is a delayed reaction, but thank you!
