I hope and pray that in 50 years needing to protest for equality in "marriage" will seem as insane and silly as the Scopes Monkey Trial. Monogamy and marriage is a right and a statement to the world and God.

I don't have children either... but I love Halloween. My husband and I go all out every year trying to figure out what to treat away. Two years ago we made the mistake of doing cotton candy for every kid.... we had 450 kids by 8 and I was about to pass out from arm-muscle damage. The next year I thought about it, recruited 8 people, and we blew up helium balloons and strapped candy bags (only about 8 pieces of good candy ((non of that generic yuck)) to the string as a weight. We only were able to stay out until 8:30 because we ran out of balloons (500 that year).
This year, we are doing gigantic inflatables (bats and balls)... we have bought 1000 from Oriental Traders, we have 5 people with air compressors coming over to help.

I love halloween. But this need to outdo the previous year has us spending around $400 this year. Next year I may go back to candy bars... or maybe a quarter for every kid? I need help.

On Halloween is a holiday adults love, too

I believe that that would be spelled "DAWGS". The SEC is proud of it's southern drawl.

I was happy to see someone catching a pass!
I don't remember anything getting caught last year.

Beautiful building, wonderful masonry. it stands out, too bad it is used for Bankruptcy court. Who could enjoy it when they are having their lives torn up?

In the eighties our parents worried about how many quarters we spent at arcades with our friends, how our thumbs and wrists were developing carpal tunnel. At least today, this fast fad is social, and encourages communication. I love texting, I can answer people when I want, unlike phone calls.

My favorite veggies come from Delano, TN's farmer's market (run by very conservative Mennonites who appear on horse drawn buggies, dressed as though it was the mid 1800's). The corn is so sweet, you will get a toothache. Down the street is the Savannah Winery where you can get locally made cheese from the Sweetwater Dairy.
Man, I think I will go tomorrow.

I will take the treasure hunt on and find this place! It sounds fantastic, especially since I only enjoy a hint of horseradish, and love roast beef sandwiches (the best part of fixing one is dreaming about the gooey leftovers).

I am a total "going to hell heathen", and I would be offended if someone who believed I was actually going to hell wouldn't try to help a friend out a bit. I mean, would you knock your neighbors kid out of the way of a train wreck if you could? Of course you would! What's the diff?
Give these guys a break, there is a lot of mean people in the world, they are just trying to save us from their train wreck.

Saturday night was one of the best Riverbend nights I have experienced. I was so shocked. I totally enjoyed myself. The night was cool, the crowd friendly, the beer cold, the music rocked my soul.
Thank you Chattanooga.
