I've had a few more kids show up & ring the doorbell here than
last year - I don't mind spending a few bucks on buying some
candy to pass out. The thing that annoys me, though, is when
you get a group of five kids & nine adults... I still hand the
adults something, but I give 'em a: "WTF is WRONG with you???"
kinda look lol.

Then the last group that showed up before I posted this was
three teenagers - two girls & a guy... the guy was dressed as
Peter Pan, and one of the girls was Tinkerbell, so they had
a theme going - the other girl; I dunno... maybe I don't recall
her character from the movie whatsoever - I couldn't tell who
she was dressing as. Point is, they got a coupla pieces
of "bonus candy" for their effort. lol

I think it's about tapered off as I type this... hasn't been a
doorbell ring in about 20-30 minutes. Halloween '07 could be
history in my neighborhood.

My favorites are the stoner teenagers who show up . . . minimal or no
costume, don't say a word, just hold out their candy bags. I just say,
"Yes? Can I help you?" It's apparently quite painful for them to say,
"Trick or treat." Fun to watch.

I bought candy and no one came.

Thats one of my gripes as well... I do the same thing.
At least know the protocol and say "trick or treat".
How hard is it?
Then a "Thank you" is always appreciated.

Where I live you don't answer your door unless you know someone is coming
in advance, or of the person knocking has a warrant. Different part of the
world I guess.

This is the first time I've been at home for Halloween in years, so I figured
I'd do the candy thins.

I got two bags of candy, and when the kids slowed to a trickle it looked
like I was going to have a lot left over, so I started giving what looked
like the last few stragglers multiple pieces. (I also managed to eat devour
the contents of all these little 3-packs of Sweetarts myself...) Imagine
my surprise when about an hour later it started picking up again -- bigger
kids. I soon ran out of candy.

I did manage to take pictures of nearly every kid who came to the door. Some
of them are pretty nice.

I also discovered that tracking vocals and giving out candy are not things
that can be easily done simultaneously.
