OH TONYA!!! We were just talking about Halloween last night on IM. People are sooooo stupid. ugh!!
I can certainly relate to you with the new car is your baby philosophy!! I just got a 2001 Olds Alero in May with 200 mi on and that is only b/c it had to come from IN to OH.
I am sooooo sorry for your car. Its just awful.
I am gonna be one of the few here but I like Halloween, I don't go overboard with decorating or trick or treating or anything. Actually I work 2nd shift so I don't even buy candy. We had T or T on Sat and I wasn't even home then. I just like Halloween b/c its in the fall and I love fall. Of course its also the same month as my birthday so that may have something to do with it.
But kids playing pranks or having rituals is ridiculous. Parents shouldn't let their kids out of the house. But people don't take responsibilty anymore for much of anything.
Hope your day goes better.
