Halloween Time



Recommended Posts

Okay, I am sooo excited. Halloween is just around the corner.. Well for me it is. I work at a haunted house! We open Sept 29th!!! We are going strong on the the construction!!! I usually help with that but because of my surgery and baby sitting issues I haven't been up there as much as usual. But I help out where I can.... Anyway...I went to see my friend who owns the place and we discussed my position there. I am going to be a manager of one area...eeeha!! Love it!! AND this was a bonus!! I fell in love with a halloween costume MONTHS ago.....I found it on the internet and it was like $70-80.00!!! My friend gets catelogs from different companies and lo and behold...the costume was in the new catelog and it was a fraction of the cost!!! SOOOO GUESS WHAT IM GETTING! I can't wait. This costume is sooo pretty....well to me it is...in a sick twisted way. And it comes in plus sizes. I asked to order the largest size avail...which is a 24...but these costumes are cut small...I figure if I were to get it to actually fit I would be in a size 18-20. I gotta fit clothes underneath to keep warm too...I am an outside creature manager, so I gotta do what I can to keep warm!! I will post pictures when I get the costume in hand...ehehehehehehehehehehe I CAN'T WAIT. I dont know if our website is up yet, but if you wanna take a look its at www.TerrorDome.com That place is a second home and the people who own it are a second family...I love them dearly!

CANT WAIT, CANT WAIT CANT WAIT! I come to life in the fall!

That is to funny Doll I bet he had to sleep with the lights on.. Humm Salem would be scary for me just to think about it.. I am such a wimp

This year he wants to be the Grim Reaper, I do not know where he gets these ideas.. I just might let him, but he has to be a good Grim Reaper.. (cheerful)Ha ha

I take them to a few haunted houses but nothing really dramatic that he would have nightmares.

Beautiful dress though

when i was little my father had the bright idea to take me to a haunted house. well honestly i wasn't all that little i think i was like 13. scared the crap outta me! my mother waited outside for us and she heard me screaming all the way outside! my father was carrying me around on one arm! he was asking the tour guide...how much further till we get outta here? is there a trap door you can sneek us out of? i was a big time wimp for a very long time!!!!! look at me now!!! muuuhhahahahahahahaha I LOVE IT.

pam...i use to do this halloween get up in front of my house, by myself!! i made a witches costume and i use to do full face latex! i had like a freddie kruger face! it was awesome. this particular halloween i was soooo cold, i just sat down for a bit, and this lady..(maybe 40 years old) was lookin and lookin at me from across the street...she had a flash light and she was shinning it on me. then she came across the street and stood by our bushes...all the while, i am sitting perfectly still. then she walks down our sidewalk,creepin closer and closer.....she still has that damn flashlight and shes still shinning it in my damn eyes....so she got maybe two feet from me and was feelin comfortable...and I jumped up and screamed STOP SHINNING THAT LIGHT IN MY FACE~ well this lady almost fell over backwards and peed her pants! thats when i knew i was hooked!!!!!

at the end of the night we all gather and talk about our best scare of the night!!! oh my god do we laugh!!!!

Halloween is my favorite day of the year. I do not have many fond childhood memories but my mother always made halloween special. So I do the same now for my kids, we go all out decorating our house inside & out. Something about the smell in the air during Halloween time..

Porcln doll-

I love Hallowen as well- it's my fav holiday-

We have a huge Halloween party every year (adults only- must be in costume)

This will be our 13th year- we decorate the yard and house with a theme- my favorite was killer circus clowns....very creepy- this year will be Aliens/UFO's-

We have adults fighting for costume prizes such as "Most likely to get a date in your costume", "least likely to get a date in your costume" etc...

We have been in past years: Black widow spiders(complete with elegant gloves and one of those long cigarette holder thingees) Members of KISS, The bride and frankenstein, Powerpuff girls, Boy George, etc.

This year we are going as Glenda the good witch and the Wicked witch- I have this periwinkle organza skirt (from being a maid of honor) that I'll wear- I have to make a top to be Glenda- we are trying to convince some friends to come as flying monkeys!!

We have so much fun- I can't wait-

Wish I could stop by the terror dome- I love haunted houses- I do get really scared- but I still go....

Have fun planning!

The smell of fall is uncomparable to anything else in this world! I love it. Better than the smell of an ocean~ Keri, your party sounds like sooo much fun! I wanna come. Illinois is a bit far though...dont think I could talk the hubbie into that one :D

My father has manic depression. One of his outlets was art. He was an awesome artist too. He drew ballarinas on my sisters walls of her bedroom and I had all the disney characters... Well, Halloween time really was a great outlet for him. He one year desided to make me Ms Piggy. He made a 50 pound paper mache' head that looked exactly like Ms Piggy...complete with eye lashes and red lips...it was un real! Oh my gosh and the hair!!! Then he went to a thrift store and found a shear pink bed coat with feathery poofs on the collar and wrist bands...and then I wore my moms old silver "dress" shoes...high heals. I remember I almost killed myself in that costume. The head was so heavy. I remember my neck snapping back and forth with the weight of this thing....BUT I did win first place in the Halloween parade!! Then another year he made me a Smurf!!! I won again that year too! Maybe this is where I get my love for the holiday I dunno! But it was always something special in our house. Then I just took it over when I got older! I make all of my sons costumes....well except for last year, he got his first store bought costume....he was a cop. In the years past he was Elvis, a Pimp, and a wizard!!!

      Hey everyone!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
