How do we keep our candy dishes full at Halloween time or really anytime? My favorite candy to keep it full is usually gum drops or fruit slices and maybe even at times those fun size candy bars or some say miniatures. I know that is not too popular with the trick or treaters who look for the houses that offer those full-size bars, but I think it is better than offering a sack full of coupons and boxes of raisins that I used to receive the last few years that I went trick or treating while growing back then.

What if noon was midnight and midnight was noon? Would we be eating lunch in the dark and sleeping during the day? Will the birds still sing at night as they do during the day? Day into night or will be night into day. One must think what if? Actually, some do this out of choice or necessity. So, what is time really all about. Is it really about keeping a schedule or just a way to keep us somewhat organized about our lives? A plan as such to keep us steady as we go about living our daily lives.

Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Pastor Jamal Bryant calls for the arrest of protestors who recently interrupted his church service
Churches on private property should be protected. No matter if it’s a white supremacist or a black supremacist. It’s about the right for the leader and parishioners to enjoy the service in peace.

Brings back memories of my favorites, which were the miniatures! Nice drabble, Mark!
Thank you, Mark! I see all the candy and costumes are out. We have only grandchildren that stop in as there are mostly older people in our neighborhood and we live in the country!💕💗
Excellent point and drabble, Mark!
Fun! Are the fruit slices those gummi style ones with sugar on top?

Lovely to know what you filled the candy dish with. Seems like you had a bad deal when you were a child. This was a nice nostalgic trip. 🤗❤️
🤣🤣🤣 You made me laugh with the boxes of raisins and sack of coupons bit. Now, I can remember my kids receiving raisins, but coupons- Never, and how awful. As for candy, I am a Reese's peanut butter cup kind of gal. I used to steal them from my kids' buckets.
