First off let me say that i’m a 13 year old and i love old fashioned traditional Halloweens. My mom is always talking about how great Halloween was when she was a kid. (she’s only 32 so she’s not old) and I like costume-MAKING (not buying), witches and ghosts and vampires,popcorn and pumpkins and apples,crunchy leaves and chilly night air and having to wear a cloak (yes a cloak don’t hate) outside. my mom has gotten lazy with Halloween. she lets my 7 year old sister dress up as cows and fairies (instead of something scary) and stuff and she buys the costumes and takes her to the mall to go trick or treating! like WTF! i never wanna do that crap. My friends are into the kind of Halloween that i like,too and i always ask my mom if i can go trick or treating with them and she says no. we live in a really small village that’s not even on the map and the village is like the middle school and high school. then some shops,getty,stewarts,cumberland farms,the grocery store,the bank,subway and some more houses and then if you go down Main St you’ll be at the park,the town pool,the skate park,the candy shop,the pizzareia,the chinese food place,the diner and more houses and then if you go down there’s the river and the marina. so with this extremely small village and me being very responsible (said by my family on multiple occasions) and being with a group of friends don’t you think i should be able to trick or treat by myself?
The thing is i don’t have a cell phone or anything.

Ok my friend is turning 13 this month and she loves fashion (forever 21, ulta, gilly hicks, hollister, abercrombie, etc.) and I dont know what to buy her!!! in past years I knitted her a purse with her initials on it, made her a movie basket (dvd, candy, popcorn…), and got her an airbrushed tshirt with her name on it.

this year she started getting all the teen vogue and seventeen magazines and stuff like that and i don’t know what to do!!

she has a favorite band but getting tickets is too expensive and she has all their CDs (black eyed peas) and tshirts of them

please help me!!! i have one week her bday party is the 7th!! thank u!! <333

i just cnt believe this!! i dunno wat to do!! tday my boyfriend an i we went to the movie theatre an it was grate i loved the movie an he sit by me there. but then there was this gurl an she walked in she had no guy with her she was real pretty an all so my boyfriend being a guy an all he glanced at her…an he had a bag of popcorn by him so i figure i will dump it on him an i did. he knows he only supposed to look at me in the manner he looked at that gurl. he got real mad an scooted about two inches away from me. i was devestated. i never wanna be apart from him…even if its jusst two inches. so i told him that an started to weep a lil and he looked at me all funny. but i decided to scoot closer to him anyway but i guess he was afraid of the popcorn bag in my hand cuz he scooted away again. then he was talkin to me an then his best friend an his gf walked in an he waved at them. i got mad an see i had this cup of coke an i dumped it on his head because he knows he is not supposed to give into distractions when talking to me!

later when tha movie was over, he walked really ffast out of the movie theatre…leavin me behind a few steps. i ran after him cryin an he glared at me cuz everyone was lookin at us funny. he grabbed ma arm an said "wat the hell is yor problem!!!" an i jus burst out into tears. i was utterly hartbroken that he would speak to me that way. then we got into his car an drove past my favorite restront named mcdonald’s where that nice clown with tha red hair and big smiley face is an i said "why arent we goin to mcdonald’s you know its my favorite!" an he said fine an parked in the parking lot of that awesome place. we got out an he was real moody i could tell until he saw that his best friend an his best friends gf were there too. so he walked off with them again leavin me behind. but i followed him an sat down at their table. but when he saw me he scooted away frum me an took a seat next to his best friend. i put my head in my hands an sobbed. my boyfriend seemed real embarrassed. i knew it wasnt right that he treated me in such a rude fashion so once i got my hamburger an said hi to ronald mcdonald i took my hamburger apart an smeared the grease an ketchup an mustard in his hair. then when we left he told me to sit in the back like a five year old since im actin like one. so i did an sat in his younger sisters car seat since it was all comfy. then as he walked me to my door i tooted loudly. but what i cant get outta my mind is he didnt sit by me!!! whatdo i do!!

the party is for our 8th grade graduation(nostalgia purposes, good movie, etc.)

so far im thinking of serving n&ms, jellybeans, popcorn, strawberries, maybe chex mix, and maybe buying a pizza and cutting it up into little pieces (i told people to eat dinner before, but they know snacks will be served)

any other ideas for food, or just general party ideas?

we want to put in a stone fireplace..we see all the neighbors with the wood stacked and men doing chimney repairs..my parents did not have one built on the house cuz in the 50s they thought it was old fashioned..our grandparents summer house had a huge fireplace with large stones..i used to love to throw plastic cartons in the fire and watch them melt..my mom says ok with the idea..were thinking 30.000 thousand…that’s a lot for ambiance but…winter roasted chestnuts and fire place popcorn sounds cool.a neighbor said its a pain for repairs..soot..cleaning and too much work for pretty…is it worth it? we thought about a franklin stove or something of that nature but want to fiddle with the logs and see the flames..

My dad is almost 50 and 7 years ago he had a triple bypass for blocked arteries cause he didn’t take care of his diabetes. Over the past year things have gotten even worse. He eats candy, donuts, pizza, a TON of food no matter what we’re eating like 3 plates full (except if it’s healthy of course), drinks at least 3 cans of soda everyday. it’s diet but still bad! lots of popcorn and sugar free ice cream. HOW IS HE NOT DEAD ALREADY???!!!!! I don’t understand how someone with diabetes as bad as him is not dead. He has no exercise at all because he’s unemployed and just lays on the sofa watching tv all day or at his desk on the computer. He does take insulin twice a day. He is blind in one eye and small partial in the other and has sleep apnea but doesn’t use the stupid machine we bought for him.

Example of what he has eaten in the past 24 hours: He bought one of those huge tubs of licorice and ate about 15 of them, bought himself mini donuts and ate about 15 of those, had popcorn with extra salt, fried egg with a lot of salt and 2 pieces of toast with butter, 3 ribs and some Parmesan pasta, a big bowl of Lucky Charms, and an hour ago he bought f.ing Dominos pizza and wings!!!!! there’s more he ate, I just wasn’t around because I don’t like to be around him. It pisses me off what he does and the food he eats absolutely DISGUSTS me. I’m more of the healthy one in the family. But yeah he’s probably going to die soon isn’t he…..?

I am having a joint birthday party for my 2 boys. It is going to be a good old fashioned disco at a function room with party games etc.

Could you please give me some ideas for party food. I have all the usual Sandwiches, mini sausages and pizza etc and have sorted out the sweet side of the menu (iced rings, fairy cakes, popcorn and jelly sweets, jaffa cakes etc) but need to extend the savories! It’s easy to get the kids to pig out on sweets and chocolate but not as easy to make the savory food as appealing!

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jo

First of all tell me what you think of the name Faith Anna Marie Graham, husband is in love with that name but I’m not sure…

Okay now for the game!!

1.) You are at the movies seeing the final Harry Potter with your boyfriend, Bryan James Graham. You have a small box of popcorn and you get the last handful off the bottom and eat it. But you don’t find an empty box, and the bottom is ring. Of course you say yes. Where and when do you get married, and describe your dress.

2.) You end up pregnant and you both decide that you do not want to know the sex of baby until it is born. You pick out a unisex name and pick a middle name for a boy and a middle name for a girl. I will put in additional details later if it is a boy or a girl. What is his/her name? (Birthday is March 27th)

3.) You love your child but want just one more. You are having a little trouble getting pregnant so you turn to fertility treatments and end up with identical triplet girls! You both are so thrilled. When your first child is 4, on August 14th you give birth to your daugthers, 3 weeks early. They have to stay at the hospital for a few weeks but by November they are at home and doing well. Their initials must be three of the following 6 options: AN, AM, AC, AK, CB or LB.

4.) Your children are 7, 3, 3, and 3. They are dying for a dog, so you get 2. One boy and one girl. What are their names? You also buy a new house in ______. As your 3 bedroom 1 bathroom just isn’t big enough for your large family. Give a brief description of your home.

5.) You are all settled into your new home and your kids are now 8 and 3, almost 4. Your husband wants just one more. You aren’t so sure want you want, but end up pregnant, with a boy. You name him _________. His first name must be after a family friend, and middle name has to be a family name or old fashioned name.

6.) You have 5 kids and happy with your big family. But then one night on tv you are watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition, and the family on there had adopted 8 kids. Then there is a commercial about adoption on, and you and your husband are moved to adopt. After being approved for adoption, you find out the adoption agency has 6 kids available. You may choose one out of the following, and their first name must have something to do with their culture.

Russian, Female, 2 years old.
German Female, 4 months old
Indian Female, 29 months old
American Female, 2 months old
Mexican Male, 9 months old
Argentine Male, 15 months old

You now have a happy family of 6, and 2 dogs. Congrats.

Give a brief description of you life after all the kids move out and have grandkids, and how you die. Have fun!

Halloween is MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE HOLIDAY EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STORY TIME!
its really fun and i love the candy part and the wind blowing at night. it sometimes scares the hibidabajeebies out of me which is good. sometimes i become so cautious that even the slightest branch that touches me scares me! last year i started crying cuz something touched me and i was SUPER SCARED! Im 12 and it was embarrassing. i love going to houses that have the BEST CANDIES like a bar of snickers or a whole bag of SKITTLES. i usually choose the best ones if they let us choose. I love the houses that are decorated and its like a path that you down like a Haunted House. and then as i was coming out, there was this man in a chair telling me to come over there and it was real. i just left quickly and took the candy. i also love those houses that have those halloween doormats that talk!!! Usually every year, i go to about 30-40 houses and i do tricks. lol their lame but… funny. I went last year with some friends and *sigh* good times, good times! After that, we go home and dump all of the candy on the floor and mix it up and i take all the good ones! and then, out of bed covers we hang the bed covers in a way to make a fort/tent type thing and get a flash light, make sure everything is dark and tell scary stories and then we make popcorn and kettle corn the OLD FASHION WAY in that pot thing and get pillows and blankets, stay in the fort/tent and watch a scary movie while eating candy!!! YAYYYYYY!
this year im going with the same friends and im going to be a DEVIL! and im 13 and i cant wait for HaLLOWEEN! YAYYYY

The end!

what’s your story of how you spend that one night a year!

oh and i forgot to add: we watch movies like Edward Scissorhands and Hauted House. etcc… HALLOWEEN MOVIES!
