After the 100 pieces, he always had a dozen or two Reese's peanut butter cups as a back-up, hoping he'd not have to give those out, because those were HIS!<br /><br />And for keeping your figure, I usually bring mine into work, and put them in the candy jar on my desk for others, though this year, we don't have one out, nor many visitors to eat said candy!Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-1475160069797182372020-11-02T18:06:43.432-05:002020-11-02T18:06:43.432-05:00Glad you had a great turn-out.

Plus, he's a big Trump guy so I have only seen him once since the GF died. I don't want to be around him as he's not a mask dude, and I don't want to deal with that shit.<br /><br />I wanted this caption to be playful and heartwarming at the same time, as that was my relationship with the GF. Glad that it came out in the caption.Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-87943666634081190482020-11-02T18:04:22.475-05:002020-11-02T18:04:22.475-05:00My GF and I .. we never lied about clothing and ho...My GF and I .. we never lied about clothing and how it looked on us. Brutally honest was the matter of the day for that. I probably rejected 85 percent of all the things she tried on, but she knew that if I approved, she would look good.<br /><br />Well, strong only gets you so far. I'd love to see a sign or two that her essence is still around to keep my honest. Like you, I'm not big on religion too much, and the whole idea of "Heaven" isn't that comforting. I'd rather believe that she's frolicking amongst otters and ferrets and large kitties, and maybe even a few dragons like Falkor or Toothless, and playing Quidditch.<br /><br />I took down the Halloween door display and now have a Turkey Day door hanger .. All bought by the GF. I will put up the Christmas one on Black Friday. No Xmas Tree this year, as I don't plan on having people in the apartment. Next year, when this pandemic is all over, I'll have my daughter come down and put up the tree and the stockings and all that one last time in my beacon of light's honor, but not this year.<br /><br />Thanks for the love!Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-15389739155186600472020-11-02T17:54:32.681-05:002020-11-02T17:54:32.681-05:00That was the entire reason I wanted to use the pho...That was the entire reason I wanted to use the photo in the first place, and wrote it all around that line!

We had a surprise for Halloween this year as I'm still keeping the family safe by staying at the cousin's house... OH MY GOD do they get a lot of trick or treaters! We must have passed out about $50 worth of candy! Well... we didn't hand it out per say as we just put it in a basket and had them grab it out while we watched from inside and complimented their costumes. Good times!<br />Caitlyn Maskedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732033913089350905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-46441679197488774822020-11-02T05:35:34.368-05:002020-11-02T05:35:34.368-05:00I agree with Fiona that line about the pants got m...I agree with Fiona that line about the pants got me to laugh....<br />If my wife knew how many times I lied when I answered that very question I'd be spanked so hard I'd never be able to sit again!!!<br />I saw your mention of wishing she had haunted you and I just thought that maybe she isn't because she sees that you are strong enough to live on without her!!!<br />I'm so glad you are OK....I know Halloween was special for the two of you...<br />Going to start taking down the Halloween decorations that no one saw and start putting up some early Xmas stuff that no one but is will see....<br />Anyway''''hugs and kisses<br />From me and the Mrs!!!!<br />Kaaren<br />Sissy Kaarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07804251566315981133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-86914530253880266172020-11-01T23:34:21.411-05:002020-11-01T23:34:21.411-05:00I love the "Those pants DO make my former ass...I love the "Those pants DO make my former ass look fat!"

You ...Sis, are you still up at this witching hour? You were indeed "very naughty." I love the music by "Black-Eyed Peas," but I keep itching for a bit of Eddie Van Halen and the music of the '80s. I would request just a bit more music from the electric guitar, which liberated music from its shackles and gave to guitarists worldwide a musical voice. I think you ought to unshackle Eddie. :DKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737100434813480808noreply@blogger.com
