Do you decorate your home on Halloween?
I do not. Most years I am not home.
If so, when do you start putting up decorations?
While I am some what of a procrastinator, This is one thing I do not procrastinate on. I start not decorating several months in advance
Do you dress up to pass out candy?
(if so, what will you ‘be’ this year? )
I am not about to put on a suit just so I can give a bunch of kids some candy. Oh, you mean do I put on a costume. I do not.
If you do buy candy to pass out to the little ghouls, do you buy extra ‘just for you’?
I use to, but anymore I buy stuff I do not like so that I do not eat it all. If I still have any candy left over when I have decided I am thru dealing with kids, I wait til I get a single trick or treater at the door and then I dump all of the remaining candy in that kids bag.
When you were a kid and went trick or treating, what’s the lamest thing someone gave you?
A discount coupon for a burger joint on the other side of town.

What’s the worst weather you’ve braved to grill your favorite foods? I would have to say it was when I drove back to Alaska in 1983. It was my last night in Canada and the dump, I mean dive, I mean motel I was staying in had lots and lots and lots of signs everywhere saying I could not cook in the room. I did not have any food left that did not require cooking and I was not about to pay a bunch of money it eat in the motel diner. There was a sheltered place outside the motel but it too had lots of no cooking signs. So I drove a mile to place where I could pull off the highway. It was raining very hard and the wind was probably blowing 25 to 30 mph. I used my car as a wind block and had to build a roof for my grill to keep the food dry while cooking. About half way thru the tin foil roof departed my grill to go visit some other place in Canada. At that point I decided everything was as cooked as it was going to get. I loaded everything back in the car and returned to the motel to eat my very rare steak.

What’s the worst weather you’ve braved to grill your favorite foods? This was more necessity than fun. In 1993 I lived in Rome GA and we had a blizzard. No one quite believed that it was really going to snow that much. One of my neighbors and I were frantically trying to make coffee on her gas grill! I think all of the guys were off at work. I can just see us shivering, shaking and making the coffee.

I was so tiny and looked so young. There was an older custodian who said, "honey, you'll need a paddle and I'm going to carve you one." He did! I never used it much but it used to sit on my desk. The only time I remember paddling was for bus duty problems and this was just a few times. Believe me -- all I could hurt was pride! 2010 - Astronomers discover the new galaxy UDFy-38135539, the most distant object observed from earth

Good quote. One of the colleges I went to was Berry College, near Rome Georgia. (It has Mt. Berry Georgia as its own address). Mr. Ford visited the college (before my time) and donated a lot of money to it. There are some buildings named after him.
