Trick or treating adults- Is this tacky or what??
819247
I go trick or treating with my childern.  I dress up, but I do not take my own bag.  Trick or treat night is for childern.  Not for adults.  Some people just have a hard time growing up.  My thoughts TACKY!!!!!!!!!!

What I hate worse than people who point out obvious things--which you can always choose to ignore or grunt at, is people who ask stupid questions.\n\nHalloween was on a Tuesday this year, so a bunch of my friends and I all celebrated the Sunday night prior.  We all walked into a restaurant, dressed as pirates, and had people asking us all night, "Oh, wow, are those Halloween costumes?".\n\nThus requiring us to answer, and bite back our sarcastic "Oh, holy--I completely forgot Halloween was coming up!  What do you think we should dress up as?" and instead smiling and saying yes.\n\nHalloween is only one night a year, though.  I think I would hate it more if I was missing an arm...I might wish I'd kept it, so I could beat people over the head with it.

Random acts to me consist of knowing someone's needs before they come up and ask you.  Handing out a piece of candy every once in awhile is nice.  Helping people in need of most small favor's is nice too.  Making people laugh usually is a good thing.  But, not everyday, ya got to give it a break once in awhile because you'd find that people do take advantage of those type of situation's, if ya know what I mean...   Dr Checko...   (Nickname)

Loads of fun.\nYou can make them look very stupid.\nIt's not illegal.\nYou and your friends can laugh about it later.\nIt's not a commandment- Thou shalt not mess with other's heads- so you won't go to hell.

I still dress up for Halloween! \n(I don't go trick or treating, but I do take my children) Every year I have a different costume, from something simple to really elegant to scary - it's just a lot of fun & I plan to do it as long as I enjoy it! (( enjoy your tapes - I think you're cool! ))

Ask them for their phone numbers so you can call their parents.  You can also call the cops and they will pick them up and take them home.  My guess is the parents are not saying it is ok.  It's kids like that will take the fun out of trick or treating.  Those are bad little ghosts and goblins.  You were too nice, I would've said "beat it!"  right away.

My husband & I were just having this conversation, as well as having one with my son's babysitter.\n\nPeople are trying to downplay it for the fear of offending 5% of the population.  Plus, there's a lot of places who advertise "safe trick-or-treating" like at churches, malls, etc.  Trunk-or-treating is becoming a very big thing at schools & churches, too.  I think after people go with their kids to these things (some even happen the weekend before Halloween), they don't worry about doing the actual Halloween things on Halloween.\n\nSad what some of it has come to, but we also wondered how long it would be before no one goes door-to-door trick-or-treating.  Now schools have "fall parties" instead of Halloween - kids can't even dress up for school anymore (reference the 5% comment above).\n\nI hate to see it change like that, but society is making it change.

I am in absolutely no danger of coming down with that phobia! (Unfortunately.)\n\nWe always check the kids halloween candies very carefully before allowing the kids to get into them. We throw out everything that doesn't have an intact wrapper. And all wrappers are checked for air leaks by squeezing. If the wrapper puffs up like a squeezed balloon when squeezed, it means it's still air tight. If it's not it goes in the garbage. You can't poison candy without first gaining access to it.

I have to agree with Chaparra. They probably want attention. Or maybe they think it's cool or sexy or something.

It's not tacky at all.  Contrary to popular belief, people don't call your parents anymore to ask where you're registered.  They ask you or expect you to tell them.  That's why you're given registration cards, so you can give it to the people coming to the wedding.  And putting it in your wedding shower invitation makes no sense.  The wedding shower is primarily for the bride.  These presents normally pertain to the wedding night or the actual wedding day (a blue garter, for instance).  The gifts that are brought to the wedding are normally from the registration list which are things that the couple feel they need for their upcoming life together.  Don't let anyone tell you that anything is tacky for your wedding.  It's YOUR wedding.  I personally put the card in our wedding invitations and no one had a problem with it.

Go to Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc.  I was just in Hobby Lobby the other day trying to get ideas and they had some very nice ones that were already made, you just had to print the info on it.  Or go to Office Max and find some nice paper that would be appropriate for the occasion (maybe even find something with her colors so it seems even more personalized, even if you didn't have to put much time or effort into it)!  As far as the attire goes....just put something on the bottom of the invite that says "Casual attire is recommended."  When it comes down to it, people will not even care how they look...as long as all of the info is there, it should suit you fine!

OHyeah....I've heard this referred to as "slactivism"---- buying a doodad and displaying it will magically make things all better and show you are on the Right Side and A Nice Person Who Supports/Cares.....\n\nLet's face it: when you buy these things, how much of the money that you spend actually GOES towards the purpose or goal, versus paying the manufacturer, wholesaler, and retailer?  Wouldn't it be a lot more cost-efficient to just send a check to the charity/cause in question?  And perhaps a little less, well, boastful? \n\nThink a lot (not all, but a lot!) of this display behavior is "me-tooism", and a cheap way for folks to feel good without having to actually commit something significant (like volunteer hours, special skills, or real money), but that may just be my cynicism showing.

So, sounds like teacher wants a recipe for a "fun Halloween" that appeals to all the senses .... so, sight (maybe scary decorations), sound (maybe scary noises), taste (sweet candy?), smell (the burning candle in the jack'o'lanterns, maybe), feel (maybe something like that silly game where you put your hand in a bowl of peeled grapes and someone tells you they are eyeballs!)\n\nI think what the teacher is looking for is just a "recipe" of different Halloween-y type things that you might assemble for a fun Halloween party, and describe different things at your party and how they would appeal to each sense.
