Halloween Candy Recalls

[Rod]

This one is verified to be true:

From an email:


Sherwood brand Pirate's Gold Milk Chocolate coins are being recalled due to the fact that they contain Melamine, the ingredient in milk product that has caused many infant (and dog) deaths in china. These candies are sold at Costco, as well as many bulk and dollar stores.

Now..where exactly can you get these candies?....:rolleyes:

I can remember growing up and Razor Blades were found in Apples.
Tough town ! My parents said they'd rather go to the store and buy
us candy. In todays world, we can't even do that safely. Geeeez !:mad:

We give out Halloween pencils and knick-knacks. The candy thing is just too dangerous. Most of the kids dig the stuff anyway. I think their parents take away most of the candy anyway.

Side note: I hate Halloween on Friday nights!!!!!

Buster: That Pumpkin needs to be on a diet, stay away from the candies!!!!!!

My wife has meticulously wrapped 30 packages with various candy in small cellophane sacks and tied each off with a decorative ribbon. After that, she realzed we didn't have a serving dish that is appropriate enough to serve such treats and went out to by a Halloween serving plate--which I was surprised to find they make.

Ive never seen someone is so ready to stand outside with her serving dish with our 10 month son in his Yoda costume. But its nice to see her smile about it now that everything is "perfect."

Eggs, soap and toilet paper in hand.! I have fond memories of Halloween
as a child. Its not extortion. Its a community based tradition. Don't be a
Grumpy Old Poop and make a child smile for goodness sakes. Oh yes, Happy Halloween ! :nuts:

And LOTSA corn! Have you ever heard of "corning" someone's yard???

At least that's what we did in Indiana!:D

I stopped TRT'ing in about the 6th grade and became an aspiring entrepreneur by turning our basement into a haunted house. I was pretty good at that kinda thing and kept it going through High School. I made as much as $50 a night, charging .50 admission. I ran it about 3 nights every Halloween. Some folks commented that it was better than the city's haunted house.:cool:

Isn't that where they Tip Cows ? Heck, if cows can serve a meal that
well, I guess I'd give'm a good Tip too. At least 15% :nuts:

Haunted Houses are sooooo Cool. But I guess it could become addictive
and expensive over time. Still, its something you never forget as a kid.
Good Stuff ! ;)

Thanks, I didn't make it to Cali until '99. Trying to position my Civil Service career to get back East. The weather is great out here but it's funny to watch people stand in AWE when it rains.

Miss the snow though. Hopefully I can get back there and knock off this work thing.:nuts:

Yeah I do enjoy the change of seasons, standing in awe of the rain reminds of a girl that worked for a Fed Agency in Albuquerque, NM, I met at a seminar in DC and she just kept going on about how green everything was. She was so used to just seeing brown.

GL in getting back to your old stomping grounds. I'll stay around here when I retire, hopefully about Sept 2013, the good Lord willing and the crik don't rise. :D
