Not fun, no man.  Maybe it's TB.

Yes, but this Canadian would have better clothes for the cold up in Canada. Plus I also have kids all four would be out there shoveling  

Not a single doctor I saw in Canada told me what it was. It wasn't until I saw the allergist here in Arkansas. He thought it was really weird they didn't tell me as it can be quite serious when the hives start and your blood pressure drops. He said I could go into hyperthermia a lot easier than the average Joe. It was is really uncomfortable and painful when the charlie horses start too. I stayed inside a lot. Still do in the winters in Arkansas. Everyone thinks I'm nuts for liking the heat. I sit out there all day if I could. I guess I just haven't warmed up yet  

Not quite so bad for my wife.  She simply does not like cold weather,

I've never celebrated or experienced Halloween because well, my parents are weird, and by the time I reached adulthood it seemed no point left for me. That being said the street really did great this year in putting those giant Home Depot skeletons and their smaller counterparts in all sorts of crazy displays and poses. No one really ever bothers to come by of course because the lights are off, but judging by the tons of kids participating in the trunk o' treats this year, it didn't sound like there were many kids out on the street at all.

 

The stores seemed to move on from Halloween to Christmas weeks ago... my husband already purchased the lights he needs for the display this year.

Today and the next couple of days would be ideal to buy unsold Hallowe'en candy at 50% off or better.

I used to do that. I would drop off the Hillbilly at work and then run over to walmart. I'd stock up on way too much, but now we no longer eat the stuff and I don't want that much candy around for the kids.
