NT, come stay with my Mom for a while. OK? She would play the Disney Channel 24/7 if I let her. After seeing every episode of every one of those shows you mentioned several times over, I finally was just bonkers. So....now she watches Nickelodeon 24/7 (which plays Full House BTW).

Who, I love Nick at Nite. My favorite at the moment is Fresh Prince. I never watched until it came on Nick and I don't think I've seen an episode yet where I didn't yet let loose laughing. They have also just started showing the Jeff Foxworthy Show which is also a hoot. Okay, I wll confess. Escapee, you mentioned the other day that it was scarey how much we think alike. Well, I love Full House too. And so does Travis. LOL, Landi, it's just the opposite at my house. Travis gets frustrated with me for watching Disney.

A lot of people I know think the rapper Eminem is really something. Me, personally, I don't see it. I can't stand his voice, I think he is a "poser" and a complete jack A$$. I don't see the appeal.

I am a closet Andy Griffith Show fan. I will watch it whenever it is on. I love Aunt Bea. I hate Halloween now. I used to love it as a kid, but it has for the most part turned into an adult holiday around here. Besides - when I was a kid, you trick-or-treated on the 31st. Now you have to wait and see when the "city govt" decides what day to have it on. AND it drives me bonkers to take my daughter out and 1/2 the houses don't answer the door. ARGHHH

Terolyn, I agree. Halloween is not half the fun it used to be. In our neighborhood, only about every 5th house is participating and that's when it's not on Sunday. Our city now has a Festival at the rec center and the kids have a costume contest and play games. Travis prefers that to hiking 5 miles for 2 pieces of candy.

The plus side of halloween and trick or treating is that kids who opt to go trick or treating are at least gettting out of the house and getting some exercise!

i don't like teenagers trick-or-treating. i don't like trick-or-treaters coming after 8:30. i don't like adults insisting children come up to the door when all the lights are out. take the hint, either i'm out of candy or i'm not participating.

NT and Cndeariso, ITA. Although, when I was in the seventh grade, I was 5'7, and I still trick or treated. A lot of people wouldn't give me candy, I was just a kid still. I was 12-13, is that too old to trick or treat? I would go with my friend who was 12 and my bro who was 10. We got a lot of slammed doors in our faces telling us to "grow up"

What is wrong with teenagers trick or treating? I think that is fine for them. Is thirteen is just a kid. Nineteen might be pushing it, but as long as they are having fun, who cares???

santa claus, the easter bunny and trick-or-treating are geared for the 12 & under age group. that is just my opinion.

So Santa doesn't bring gifts once you hit 13? I really don't think 11 and 12 year olds believe there really is an easter bunny or Santa...

OHHH better not let my mom hear that or she'll write to Santa and you won't get any gifts! I like seeing the older kids dress up and trick or treat, least they're having fun and not causing trouble. Besides if they wanna do it and they're having fun, why force em to grow up any quicker than than they have to.

One of the university student groups put out flyers in the area of the university saying they wanted neighbourhoods to participate in a Halloween collection for adults. Any university students that dressed up and went around, would be asking for non-perishable food, and they were collecting it for the food bank. I think that is a GREAT idea, as it lets the older teens/early 20's people dress up and get into the spirit, but really they are collecting for a good cause. That is the first time I've seen that idea, but I hope it spreads over the next few years. If a 21 year old came to your door in a great costume, and said they were trick or treating for non-perishable food for the food bank, would you go get a can of something for them?? I know I would.

Of course. Great idea. But they'd better park a car nearby. Those bags would get mighty heavy quickly!

If you are in a costume and say 'trick or treat' you can have candy at my house. If my kids want to go trick or treating, they MUST be in a costume and say trick or treat too.

I have no problem with anyone at any age trick-or-treating if they are in costume and are at least a little respectful. But when its a group of high school kids in street clothes carrying extra large Hefty trash bags who ring the doorbell, thrust out their extra large Hefty trash bag and then turn around and walk away without ever saying a word, I have a problem.

I have a rule. I don't give candy unless in costume. Even the poorest family can toss a sheet over a kid for a costume.
