**SD** , honey, thereā€™s no way of telling. We should try to quarantine the area, but, knowing **Wyatt** , heā€™s already typo posted half of MPSIMS, and close to a third of IMHO. The best we can hope for, casualty wise, is around 60%. _heavy sigh_ā€¦ Til itā€™s over, weā€™ll just have to sit here and endure the lurid, wildly inappropriate, fever induced posts and the godawful syntax. Weā€™ll know itā€™s starting to wind down when we start seeing **PIMF** again. ---

I wasnā€™t done Talking Yet! Sheesh! oh ā€¦ and happy Nearly Halloween, everybody. I have a thing about trick-or-treaters! I love to be a _good house!_ 'cause I remember _good houses_ fondly! I play spooky sound effects out of the front upstairs windows ā€¦ with two red LEDā€™s glowing in the window like little eyes. Our neighborhood is So symetrical, with the houses so close and flat fronted, the sounds echo all the way up and down the cul-de-sac ā€¦ (took me 3 years of trials to find the best echoing spot for the speakers) its way kewl! ā€¦ And, this year Iā€™m giving out little personal sized micro-wave popcorn packages (all right, I saw a case of them in Sams Club {like CostCo} and it looked cool, so into the HUGE cart it went ā€¦ on THAT $250 dollar computer-paper-plus-impulse-purchases binge in the big warehouse store) So the first 40 kids get a package of popcorn and the rest get Tootsie Roll Pops ā€¦ AND with either of those prizes, every kid (and any of the grown-up escorts that will take them) also gets a ā€œdum dum popā€ ( different flavored lollypops that look like a Tootsie Roll pop, but with no chewy center) Gotta tell you the combination of a Tootsie Roll Pop and a Dum Dum pop not only looks like a real Bonus in my hand, but they make a Very Satisfying _Thump_ as they land in the bag! Ya can watch the greedy little eyes light up with the whole visual of ā€œTwo things ā€¦ Heā€™s giving me Two Things!ā€ ā€¦ ahhhh ā€¦ takes me back to when my greedy eyes were smaller ā€¦ actually, I think the science says the eyes were the same size, just the face around them used to be smaller ā€¦ either way ā€¦ takes me back. I tried wearing a costume to answer the door, but found that didnā€™t seem to amuse the kids, it only seemed to confuse them ā€¦ so gave that up. ---
