You brought up the dreaded meatless chili topic on the SDMB. It probably had beans in it. Duck. ---

Apparently there is a tradition in the DIL’s family to have chili and cornbread on Halloween. I guarantee she’ll be complaining about the local air quality over the next day and a half. ---

My eldest son’s GF came over today… presumably to hand out candy and to get used to the fact that there are kids out there who Trick r Treat. She came over in costume, took off her shoes, as is polite, and has been hanging in my son’s room. The dor has been knocked on a few times and the first three times she got it. I’ve been handing out treats ( expensive this year, huh? ) until my knee started to get sore. She’s still in my son’s room. I guess that I just have to accept that there won’t be many treats handed out in this house tonight… ---

Well, words that spill into the air can disturb the air quality. ---

Two hours of preparation for ten minutes of trick or treating. During the first snow of the year. Aw, well, he had a blast. Happy Halloween everyone. ---

> [@Projammer](#): > > I found it helps to immediately snap a pic of the bill or receipt if it can be done in good form Yes, this is very common now that Expensify and other such apps demand you text them a photo of the receipt the moment you run the connected charge card.
