22777. arkymalarky - 10/29/2007 11:24:16 PM I'm SO glad! You don't know what a struggle it was to choose, there were so many beautiful ones to pick from. Next time you come down we've got to go to her gallery. I can't believe I hadn't gotten to it before now. Oh, and the tiny parrot on the card is a print of one of her paintings.
Haha! If Mojo keeps barking all night as she has been, she may get shipped to someone! 22778. judithathome - 10/30/2007 12:04:13 AM Oh wow...I was in such a hurry to open the little box, I completely missed the card! I retrieved it in time..ha!
Yes, we definitely WILL go to her gallery next time we're there. And I'm certain I'll leave some tax money in Arkansas! 22779. Magoseph - 10/31/2007 12:05:52 AM Hey, Patsy, how about some news? Are you back in your house? 22780. jexster - 10/31/2007 1:17:09 AM I don't get squat. 22781. Magoseph - 10/31/2007 11:07:26 AM Our Cellar Door is in the Los Angeles today:

It is our 24th Halloween, and we have never had a single trick-or-treater. Of course if we have one, I hope Mojo doesn't bite. 22784. wonkers2 - 11/1/2007 1:38:28 AM We've had a couple of hundred so far. One group of 10 teenagers in a stretch limo. 22785. wabbit - 11/1/2007 1:46:41 AM We get the two kids from across the street, but that's it. Actually, this year they had a friend in tow and a new baby, so there were four. Allow me to clarify - the parents had the baby, not the kids, but he was dressed for the occasion, so his dad collected his share of the booty. Four trick-or-treaters, that's big doings here on Halloween!
When I lived in PA I never, in tweleve years, ever had a single trick-or-treater. The many years I lived in the Catskills, likewise, not a soul.
Didn't stop me from buying candy. 22786. alistairConnor - 11/1/2007 2:05:52 AM Younger daughter tried to organise some friends for halloween this afternoon. It's catching on over here but slowly. Fell through in the end, so we watched a film. Her costume was good. 22787. jexster - 11/1/2007 2:12:39 AM She could go as Cecilia Sarkozy!! 22788. arkymalarky - 11/1/2007 3:52:49 AM No one this evening. Bob's students were going to trick-or-treat here, but he told them he wasn't going to be home, which I hate (except my house is a mess). It surprised me when I started teaching how many teens do the old-fashioned trick-or-treating, but the stretch limo is something else. I'll have to tell my kids about that tomorrow. 22789. judithathome - 11/1/2007 7:44:44 PM We had a total of 4...the little kid next door told us he'd gone "Trunk or Treating" at church...congregation handed out treats from the parking lot...everyone had their trunks open with baskets of candy inside. 22790. prolph - 11/2/2007 7:14:10 AM magoseph, yes i am at home making lists that should have been done long ago, fortunately or not so i have a large art collection coud'nt be put in less than a truck. cats and i are glad to be home.
patsy 22791. Magoseph - 11/2/2007 2:27:07 PM Well, Patsy, now maybe you should store your art collection somewhere else. I'm glad that you're safe, sound, and happy to be back home. 22792. Magoseph - 11/2/2007 2:51:44 PM Thanks, Prof, for the link! 22793. psychprof - 11/2/2007 7:47:12 PM You are quite welcome Mags. 22794. prolph - 11/2/2007 9:57:19 PM magoseph can't see pictures if they are stored. i have too many
collections of various things,i prefer not to be called a pack rat
my sister worse than i--slster has an enormous collection of all
things conected to baseball, her house is a museum.
patsy 22795. Ms. No - 11/2/2007 10:58:46 PM We did the Orson Welles War of the Worlds readers theater again this year and had twice the number of viewers as last year. It's fun, but I miss getting dressed up and reveling in Halloween. I haven't had any trick or treaters at any of the places I've lived since I left West LA and we used to get lots of them there.
Today I am running errands and brushing up on comma rules and British literary movements in preparation for taking the CSET tomorrow. I just found out today that if I pass the CBEST Writing Skills (which I did) then I don't have to take the CSET Writing Skills. I'm signed up for it though, so I don't know what's doing with that. It'd be nice not to have to write the essays since the questions are always such a bore. 22796. arkymalarky - 11/2/2007 11:17:21 PM I had to write something like 12 of them on the Praxis along with answering multiple choice in about two hours. Of course I didn't get all twelve written and I had about ten sharp pencils that were worn to nubs by the end. The test wasn't bad and the prompts weren't too boring, but I hate the feeling of not finishing something, even when I know they don't expect it.
