The groups of Halloween treats
The best part of Halloween is when you get home and dump out your bag and see what kind of treats you got from all your ‘hard work.”
Below is a list of the many groups of treats that kids receive while ‘trick or treating’:
Toothbrush & toothpaste
No matter where in the world you live, there is [...]
Halloween Safety Tips
It’s almost that time of the month again – HALLOWEEN! This is the time of years that kids love to go out and ‘trick or treat’ and see how much candy they can get!
Of course, with a day like this one there are always so many tips that should be followed:
Go online and check the [...]
Elbow deep in a pumpkin
With less than a week to go until Halloween, we finally got around to getting CJ to carve his pumpkin.
Times have changed since years ago. I remember when I was a kid we got a big spoon and a big knife and with a few swipes we would have carved out a basic face. Not [...]
How to make a quick buck
It’s Halloween again and I noticed that there’s a real quick way to make money during this season.
Did you ever notice that there are all these Halloween costume stores that pop up out of nowhere in these strip plazas? How did they get there? Wasn’t there something that was there the other 11 months of [...]
The wonderful world of the tricky tray
Apart from jughandles, another “oddity” in New Jersey is this thing called a tricky tray. Being from Connecticut, I have never heard of a tricky tray.
Well, a couple of weeks ago, I lost my virginity to this new experience.
The whole concept of this event is that you pay money to get a certain amount of [...]
Parents don’t want to explain anything
Friday was the release of Kevin Smith’s “Zack and Miri Make a Porno.”
A lot of parents are getting offended by seeing the commercial on TV.
Can anyone explain to me why they’re getting offended?
According to what I’ve read, they’re afraid that their kids might ask them what a porno is. Granted the word “porno” doesn’t appear [...]
The first school lunch
Out of nowhere, on Monday, my 5-year old son, CJ, asked me if he could buy a school lunch that day. For that first six weeks of kindergarten he has been taking his lunch to school without any hassle. But, on this day he wanted to buy a lunch. He’s never wanted it before so [...]
Tweet me baby one more time!
From the “who really cares page” it appears that Britney Spears has started a Twitter page. (You can find here at http://twitter.com/therealbritney.)
I think that it’s great that a celebrity wants to use something like Twitter to keep her fans in touch with what she’s doing, but this isn’t the way to do it.
First off, at [...]
The joys of autumn
I haven’t experienced autumn since 1992.
Granted I lived during that season between summer and winter, but haven’t experienced the leaves changing colors in over 16 years. Well, this weekend it seemed like the leaves all decided to change at once. Last weekend, when we were out and about, the leaves were starting to change but [...]
EWR FTW!
Living in Florida for a good decade and change, I’ve never driven in a big city. Tampa is not really a city, more like a large town. I use to work there and it was not a big deal to drive around there.
Well, yesterday I had to make a drive to the Newark Airport. I’ve [...]
