The Sesame Street book "the Monster at the end of this book" starring loveable furry old Grover. It was my sons' most favorite book. It has entertained 3 generations of my family!! He also had a stuffed Cookie Monster that went everywhere with us!!

On Vanishing Halloween Candy: Is the Switch Witch to Blame?

Knucknuck: The costumes were disallowed because not everyone can afford a costume, possible religous issues, cultural differences, etc, etc, on and on... I have a severe food allergy and my son has a severe latex allergy, is hearing impaired, and has asthma..and beautiful teeth. We take responsibility for our own issues. I don't expect a whole classroom to forego treats because of my son's health problems. I just get upset with helicopter parents that just can't let something be for what it is. They spend so much time being so overprotective that they take all the fun out of everything. Halloween is a fun, silly,1 day a year holiday-let it be that way. I agree flying_monkey that when we were growing up we also took our favorites out and then put it in a bowl to share with the rest of the family. The whole candy thing is only as big of an issue as you want to make it. Just relax and let the kids have some fun.

Oh for heaven's sake all you politically correct parents!! First it was only non-scarey costumes at school. Then it was no costumes at school. Then it was not a Halloween party but a "Harvest" party. Then it was no cupcakes or sugar treats at the "Harvest" party just whole wheat granola and skim milk. Oops the granola might have nuts for the nut allergies, the granola has wheat in it for the celiac disease kids, the skim milk wouldn't work for the lactose intolerant. Its a Holiday!! Let the kids do traditional stuff-its a family friendly holiday. Carve those pumpkins, paint those faces, wear the best costume you can put together, go trick or treating-after dark!! Let them eat a bunch of candy!!!! We don't need yet another holiday to buy "special gifts" for. For all you who like to "send the rest to the workplace", adults don't need all that candy either! If you have that much candy that you need to donate it maybe you stayed out a little too long.

We get one trash bag a week. If you have more you put a sticker on the rest of the bags. They are $1.50 each. We have recycling bins. We also have a compost area that you can drop stuff off at 3x a week. A big item trash day once a year. So I get a chuckle reading your complaints!!

Great story-loved the pictures!! My Grandma drove a pink Studebaker "Lark". She could just see over the steering wheel, so I have a place in my heart for Studebaker's.

Unfortunately, there are some very snobby Master Gardeners out there...there are also a lot of Master Gardeners who just love gardens and like to share info with others-thank heavens. I have tried volunteering 2 times. Mike and Mark are very good teachers so soak in all they offer-just don't forget to love your garden for what it is.

Great article! Good Luck!! Exercise was/is the key for me. Biking is my favorite, but walking is good too. Working in your garden gets you away from the kitchen and is relaxing. Portion control. We don't have a realistic view anymore of what a portion is!!
