Want some candy?

We ALWAYS have a steady stream of kids on Halloween. I LOVE Halloween and pass out candy by the handful. As a result, we are on everyone's "must go there list," so it takes a lot of candy.

Tonight, it started pouring rain just at dark - no kids. We have LOTS of candy. The Google machine assures me it won't keep for a year.

The problem is that it's all candy I like. (Then again, I don't know of much candy I don't like.) If we can't shift this stuff, I'll eat it and die. I'll die happy but I'll still be dead.

Although she needs the candy even less than I. How about some "fun size" M&Ms?

All is fair in love, war and chocolate. I may back off for some PB Snickers.

It seems that everybody in my office would buy too much candy. They would bring in the left over candy and leave it in the lunch room.

Besides which, stuff put in the freezer gets forgotten for years - and that just be wrong.
