Follow up

After my rambling about Halloween treats, I have received a couple E mails and comments on good treats vs bad treats. The all time worst seem to be two that my kids got this year that hit the trash so fast that I forgot about them and didn't even grace them with mention. First off was an Avon Book. yes we have an Avon Lady in the neighborhood that is this desperate for a sale. Though I find handing these out without even a piece of candy taped to it, extremely rude and would never buy from her if all other Avon ladies quit and I was out of deodorant.I did look at one a couple Halloweens back to find that it was three months old. Yes not only did this lady try to use Halloween for peddling Avon, she was too cheap to get current books. I also got an E mail stating that Tupperware books have found their way into candy bags too. How sad ! The other top rude Halloween treat was election fliers. My boys got refrigerator magnets so that is not quite as bad but still even if I was going to vote for this person who is running for school board, I surely wouldn't now. Besides, how many trick or treaters are over eighteen anyway? Talk about targeting the wrong group ! Amazing what is becoming of people's sense of common sense. Are we as a society that desperate? Just something to think about !
