[My] Life in Wisconsin

Not...

A little translation for the headstone above.

And an apology too... ~I am sorry. I thought if everyone clicked on the magnifying glass thingie it would make the tombstone bigger and thus readable..

ANYWAY

It says...

...It occurs to me there is a clear difference between 'Hand me a hammer, and throw me one'...

Good Morning!

NOTE: I really am not a stick in the mud... hehehe Or maybe I am.

But some things just bother me. Halloween is pretty close to the top of that list for me.

As I am sure some of you know already, I absolutely abhor All Hallows Eve, and almost any/every/thing associated with it.

When we were kids, it was an evening to get our farm chores done early, and to go get a few pieces of candy from the neighbors homes. Our parents would sit and chat while we imagined that all the other homes would surely run out of candy, or cookies, (or even pennies), before we got there!


Now, with the advent of more and more scary stuff, came with it a desire to close my eyes and to want to get through from here til November 1st or so, without having to see/think/feel scary things.


I do not like it when I do not recognize the person I am looking at; whether or not it is someone I know/love.


I do not like pages that are all in the bright 360 oranges; and I always hit 'view page without theme' because the contrasting colors can kill my head at times. (Gory background images bug me bigtime too, although there is no 'view page without blood' button)...


I do not like spooky stuff even though I am a complete advocate for the paranormal. (Paranormal doesn't scare me; it intrigues and fascinates me, for I know that these elements cannot hurt me).

I used to like Halloween, for the kids and all that. I kept their costumes subdued, and we worked with what we had for the most part. Although we did have to buy new "make~up" each year because someone would inevitably leave it dry up from the previous year.

I shall have more stuff about the "Years Gone By" Halloween(s) later. But since I am sitting in a silly hotel room waiting to go to Froedtert, I think I shall keep this short for now.

These things said, I am thinking that I cannot be the only person that doesn't care much for All Hallows Eve.

OR AM I?...

Have a good one!

XOXO
