Altoids, I missed that about your mom. Poor thing, prayers for her fast and low-pain healing.

How did she do that? That's a big injury. Is she in bed for weeks now?

This year for Halloween I'm going as an alcoholic who doesn't drink - oh yeah, that's what I've been every day for the last six months - and I will continue to be one. Happy Halloween everyone. Stay safe!!!

6:22 pm in TX

It’s Halloween night. And the winner is: the Vampire. I don’t like ‘em. Parasites. Leeches.



(I can't tell you how much I dislike leeches.) Vampires aren't from another world, and they’re not from this world, and they’re not even minions of the Devil. They just are. Elegant-seeming, Dracula is a fanged fiend, who creeps down walls like a spider.



Ever-hungry, never-resting, Dracula and all that clan are as alluring in their way as fairies, but they’ll never ever care about you. All they want to do is suck your blood and corrupt your flesh. Vampires have an appetite so selfish it’s like perverted purity – the inside of a vampire is hollow and can’t ever be filled. And the lovelier and better you are, the greater their lust.



Worst, a vampire has no soul, and can take yours if it wants. You can’t recover from the bite of a vampire – your soul goes pffft! And then you’re one of them. Never let one insinuate its anti-human way into your bedroom and the dark places of your heart. It will do worse than damn you – it will make you a creature like it!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3uulQEkBf8

On this very scary night, I only have 3 words to reassure you: vampires don’t exist. You can go bad places, even do bad things, but nothing can steal your soul.

**************************************************

Did you know that a 3 day religious observance is called a triduum? I didn’t! Tomorrow is All Saints' Day. I look forward to seeing you then!

Leaches are great little creatures Courage. I buy them buy the pound during fishing season. Just reach in the container pull one out, hopefully it latches on to your thumb or index finger so it's easy to hook and, your ready to fish.

Is the leach just bait or does it assist in the catch ?

Now you guys are teasing me! I really don't like leeches. You wouldn't believe how much I hated even finding that picture.

I rented "Frozen" and "Despicable Me 2" to watch tonight. I don't even have kids, but I haven't seen them.

So excited. I'm out for the night, have a great one

For the life of me I can't figure out how to post a pic so instead, here is a link to a pic of the infamous Jack-O-Lantern pizza.



Hope everyone had a safe & sober night. I passed a few parents while out with my daughter who reeked of alcohol (one was even stumbling & had the hiccups). There but for the grace of god...

Thank you all for being here. Feeling extra grateful for ALL the gifts of sobriety tonight. You all are at the top of that list!
