That's a lie! Running never feels good. However, some people are idiots and do it anyway. Not me. I'm smarter than that! 🤣

OK remember I can hear you LOL thru my iPad!! I'll hunt you down and hurt you With smart home technology, this must actually be doable. I did find a very expensive Alexa/smoke detector device (with terrible reviews) but there is no hint of a NNP feature.

I tried yelling at mind once that I was just boiling water but it kept screaming!! I keep a towel on counter for "fanning" now!!

What a cool idea, a cleaning flash mob! Can you send one my way? Puh-leeze? DH never seems to get around to cleaning out the garage, so guess who "sometimes" at least sweeps it out?

The Naked Jungle comes to mind. To this day I can see those ants getting on the leaves to “sail” across the river.

I'm going to disagree with you on this one. Phones do not belong at the table, unless you're eating alone. (Although I think you're only joking. In which case I don't disagree.🙂)

They were rather frightening, weren't they? I wonder how many kids tripped and fell, or fell off porches etc, because they couldn't see well with those masks on? I know, I stepped/fell off a porch when I was 4yrs old and wearing an elephant costume, with one of those masks. I never wore one again!

If I were serious, I would start an etiquette thread which I wouldn't because I for one am an elbows on the table guy.

As kids we brothers would dress up as hobos or as little men wearing our dad's dress-up hats which were still worn in the '50s.

As kids we brothers would dress up as hobos or as little men wearing our dad's dress-up hats which were still worn in the '50s. After my fall, I started dressing up as a witch, hobo, cheerleader, genie (think I dream of Jeannie- my sister took baton lessons and had a great outfit, from being in a parade once). Anything that could be made from what we had, that didn't require a mask! I don't like it, when teenagers come to my door, with no attempt to dress up. That's just begging, with no class, IMO.

My EXMIL was always the one for everything being “proper” One day we were visiting and at dinner table. About eight of us. Someone asked for something to be passed down. She had to throw in that according to Emily Post you were supposed to pass to the left (I think). I blurted out tha Emily Post was dead. Didn’t endear me to her! But passing something around the table struck me as stupid when dish was two people down but to the right. I never understood the elbow thing either.

I live on a cove with few children of trick-or-treating age in the area. And if they do ToT, it's one of those Trunk or Treat events at their local church. Fine with me.

I've never heard of passing food in only one direction! Seems inconvenient and bothers everyone at the table. Sheesh!

Used the one direction pass method for first go-round at kid camp meals with the food served "family style". Didn't necessarily push it after first round but sometimes had kids insist on it.

If you’ve ever seen the show Keeping Up Appearances that character is a slightly exaggerated version of my EXMIL. It’s a an old show that was on PBS.

Used the one direction pass method for first go-round at kid camp meals with the food served "family style". Didn't necessarily push it after first round but sometimes had kids insist on it. I went to GS camp and church camp many times. I don't remember this ever being mentioned. But then, The food wasn't put on the table, so I guess that's why. Duh. I grew up in a family of nine. More when grandparents, or company joined us. If someone asked to have something passed to them, whoever it was closest to, either handed it to them, or handed it to someone who was closer to that person, without reaching in front of others. That's the only way I've ever known it to be done. But I did GOOGLE it and found it to be a true formality. Apparently, I was raised by wolves! 🐺🐺🐺 🤣

I’m actually impressed with the amount of time it must have taken to pull this off.

DH and I were joking that we needed to get our hands on some of those Halloween masks during COVID. No air got through those suckers.
