as an american, i appreciate y'all doin halloween even though it's not really popular anywhere else in the world

getting candy was magical for me as a kid, and even if you don't do door candy, you're gettin your spook on, and that's a lotta fun too!

Always welcome kids at the door, as long as they have a responsible adult present.

Looking to set up a Spooky Gypsy Fortune Teller tent this year. Planning still in progress.

I hate to sound racist (which contrary to popular belief, I'm not), but Eid is often a nightmare for me, most of the Taxi drivers round here are Muslim, and gettting a Taxi on Taekwondo Wednesdays during Eid/Ramadan is nigh on impossible, so I end up not going! Rather annoying, especially during grading season.

Seems to be some confusion.

This is NOT an official Admin warning, but a gentle chastisement from the Journal Author.
