Trick-or-treat Halloween jack-o-lantern pail orange, is my favorite fall color!

Those photos make me giddy.

I know what you mean, I get the same feeling when I look at those pictures.

I have a lot of Halloween decorations and collectibles that I'm looking forward to displaying like that one day, but I have to wait until the kids are older. I'm already teaching them about collectibles, but they still look at a toy as just a toy, and while I understand their perspective, some of the collectibles I have are pretty expensive, and I won't let the kids handle them with their little chocolate covered hands.

Gee, wouldn't it just add 'character' to them?

My phone is out of data for the month, so I had to wait a long time for those photos to load. But, wow! Worth the wait. I love that vintage stuff.

I'm glad to know that you're okay Murf.

You know, I do worry about you guys when you aren't here for awhile. When Andy wasn't around for almost 3 weeks, which is a unusually long time for him to be away from the forum, I started to think that maybe something had happened to him, it turns out that he was fine, he had just mutated into a couch potato.

It's the same thing with my employees, if they are over 10 minutes late I immediately start to worry about them, and I start to imagine the worst scenarios. I don't know, maybe it's just the parent in me, but I unnecessarily worry about everybody I know, even if I haven't ever met them in real life, like you guys.

Yeah, I know, I've become the old guy.

Aww, it's nice to be missed!

I miss people, too, when they aren't on line. I've been wondering about Mau for a while. I hope she's ok.

My good phone flat-out died, and I got what was supposed to be a stop-gap at Walmart. That was several years ago. It runs on a relatively cheap plan, month to month. But because it's cheap, it runs out of data long before the month is up. It doesn't stop working. It just gets super slow, and photos and videos are the worst.

My husband started using an old flip phone when his good phone died, but finally even that gave out. Because he can't work without a phone, he broke down and went back to Verizon. Now he has a phone so fancy-Dan that I think it might wash the dishes if I asked it to. And, of course, unlimited data. My husband says he'll get me one, too, but I'm not holding my breath.

Murf, it will wash your dishes if you have a connected dishwasher.

My building had wi-fi enabled laundry rooms and it's like heated and ventilated car seats. You don't know you can't live without them until you have them.

I worry about people too, in person and online, and not because they are odd, I just worry.

Andy, you crack me up!!

I do what I can.

I put out some seasonal stuff today.

And I collected the first fall leaf that I found on my balcony.

That candleholder must look great in the dark.

My mother used her Motorola StarTAC flip phone from 96 until 2010, we finally made her get a new phone when she saw what she could do with it, and like most people today, she won't go anywhere without it.

It's amazing how far technology has come, because of modern phones she was able to have face to face conversations with her family during the pandemic, and she still uses it to read stories to her grandkids before they go to bed.

As for MauEvig, you don't have to worry about her, she is fine, she just chooses not to be here. Which is fine, she doesn't owe this forum, or anybody here any commitment.

Like most people on the internet, she is a creature of habit, and she uses the same username on every website that she is on, Andy is guilty of this too. I understand why people do it, to establish a online identity, but it also makes your actions very easy to track online.

Anyway, I occasionally check out MauEvig's deviantart page, and her most recent post was 2 days ago, and she is clearly in the mood to celebrate the season. You can view her gallery in the link below, the other link is her most recent work. It's up to you if you want to sign up there to comment on her art, though I don't recommend it because she obviously has her reasons for distancing herself from the forum.

At Walmart today I also saw these cute Universal Monsters Care Bears for sale, they are $10 each. I'm not interested in them myself, but if the girls want them I'll get a set for them.

I'm surprised that they still make Care Bears.

I would have thought maybe Beanie Babies.

I think the Beanies have had a bit of a resurgence. Possibly Care Bears have as well. It's somewhat cyclic. 90s kids who now have kids of their own are getting nostalgic. Of course, my own 90s kids don't appear to know how to make babies. I guess I failed them. But there are a few out there who did learn.
