Welcome to the funniest Holiday of them all !

This is my second Halloween here in Pa now and I have learned from last year it is quite different then N.Y. Not many trick or treaters here on this mountain ,, in fact none !

Saves money in candy and in dental trips to N.Y. LOL

Here is a clip of my surroundings here in PA , so you will see that there is not much around where I live , I was driving , approaching house when my daughter got the cam out .

A clip of the beautiful country side of PA

NOTE: Your windows media player will automatically open for your viewing .

Here on the mountain I think the cows are the only ones out here.

I will be taking my daughter out to go trick or treating in other parts of the towns and I will be dressing too !

I'm not sure as what though , maybe a tree LOL since I look out my window now and see 10 acres of nothing but trees and as I type this now it don't sound like too bad of an idea LOL , I just have to be careful of any neighborhood dogs . I bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween. <g>

Let's have some fun !

The true value and importance of Halloween comes not from parading in costumes in front of close friends and family, but from this interchange with strangers, exorcising our fears of strangers, reaffirming our social bond with the people of the neighborhood who we rarely, if ever, see the rest of the year. So when you hear all those warnings about pins and poison, use caution and common sense.

But don't just abandon a tradition that you yourself loved as a child, that your own children look forward to months in advance, and that helps preserve our sense of fellowship and community with our neighbors in the midst of all this madness.

Thought of the Day

If a man harbors any sort of fear, it makes him landlord to a ghost.

Don't Forget

Lady Linx's 22 Rules to follow for a Safe & Happy Halloween

(do not try this at home)

1. When it appears that you have killed the monster, never check to see if it's dead.

2. NEVER read a book of demon summoning aloud, not even as a joke.

3. Do not search the basement, especially if the power has gone out.

4. If your children speak to you in Latin or any other language which they should not know, kill them immediately. It will save you a lot of trouble in the long run.

However, it will probably take several rounds to kill them, so be prepared. This also applies to kids who speak with somebody else's voice.

5. When you have the benefit of numbers, NEVER pair off and go it alone.

6. As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open the portals to Hell.

7. Never stand in, on, or above a grave, tomb, or crypt. This would apply to any other house of the dead as well.

8. If you're searching for something which caused a loud noise and find out that it's just the cat, GET THE HELL OUT!

9. If appliances start operating by themselves, do not check for short circuits; just get out!

10. Do not take ANYTHING from the dead.

11. If you find a town which looks deserted, there's probably a good reason for it. Don't stop and look around.

12. Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you're sure you know what you're doing.

13. If you're running from the monster, expect to trip or fall down at least twice. Also note that, despite the fact that you are running and the monster is merely shambling along, it's still moving fast enough to catch up with you.

14. If your companions suddenly begin to exhibit uncharacteristic behavior such as hissing, fascination for blood, glowing eyes, increasing hairiness, multilevel marketing, and so on, kill them immediately.

15. Stay away from certain geographical locations, some of which are listed here: Amityville, Elm Street, Transylvania, Nilbog

(you're in trouble if you recognize this one), the Bermuda Triangle, or any small town in Maine.

16. If your car runs out of gas at night on a lonely road, do not go to the nearby deserted looking house to phone for help. If you think that it is strange because you thought you had ¾ of a tank, shoot yourself instead. You are going to die anyway, and most likely while being eaten alive.

17. If you find that your house is built upon a cemetery, now is the time to move in with the in laws. This applies to houses that had previous inhabitants who went mad or died in some horrible fashion, or had inhabitants who performed satanic practices in your house.

18. If you enter a house and a disembodied voice tells you to "GET OUT," Listen to the helpful voice and leave.

19. Creepy old houses, campsites, or castles are never good places for a party.

20. - Beware of strangers bearing strange tools,

(i.e., chainsaws, staple guns, hedge trimmers, electric carving knives, combines, lawn mowers, butane torches, soldering irons, band saws, or any devices made from their deceased previous companions).

21. If anyone offers you $1,000,000 if you just stay the night in a house. Just leave and go buy a lottery ticket. Your chances of winning the lottery are slightly higher then your chances of living through the night.

22. Away wear Garlic to bed and have a wooden stake handily. Also have the cross under you pillow. Steel neck collar would be idea.

You follow my rules and you'll be okay.

My Doom

A variation of the My Doom virus appears to be an e-mail containing photographs. MyDoom.s (w32.MyDoom.s@mm), also known as MyDoom.m (Norman), MyDoom.q (Symantec), MyDoom.r (Panda), and Ratos (Trend Micro) is a mass-mailing worm that uses its own SMTP engine to send out copies of itself to addresses harvested from the infected PC. It spoofs the return address, making it difficult to trace infected machines, and attempts to download a backdoor Trojan horse from one of two Internet sites. MyDoom.s does not affect Linux, Mac, or UNIX systems.
