Hi all...we did this game last year and had some fun. Let's list all the "halloween" things we can find in ABC order.
Put your thinking caps on! I'll start in first reply.

Warehouse Store Shopping Tips
I don't know if it is cost effective to shop in a warehouse store like Costco or Sam's but I think it is probably "not an all or none" situation. These tips may help us out...
Proximity is Important
The first decision to make is if the warehouse store is convenient and a store you will frequent on a normal basis. If it isn't, the annual fee may not be worth the savings you will get from shopping there. To justify the annual fee you will need to spend at least $250 before you can benefit from there versus shopping in regular stores.
Come Prepared
Do your product researches before you go to the store. This is a good idea regardless of where you shop but in warehouse stores the sales personnel generally are not going to be product experts. This is not to say they cannot accommodate you in other areas but do not depend on them for product feedback.

SNEAKY
Thought I would share this with you all. In our local paper Lufkin Daily News, this woman told a story that amazes me, but then again it should not. This past weekend she got a cell call from an Obama campaign person. She told them that she was Republican and could not vote for someone who supported partial birth abortion and allowing newborn babies to die on the table. Well lo and behold Monday morning two secret service agents were beating on her door saying she made death threats to Obama through this campaign lady. The conversation was NOT recorded and she talked with the Secret Service and explained. They were going to arrest here, but now she is thinking of bringing suit to Mr. O. Is that not just like something he would pull? Cay

1.In this game the 1st person posts a word.
2. The 2nd person must use 2 or 3 consecutive letters from the above word in a new word .
3.The next person must use 2 or 3 consecutive letters from the second word in the next word.
..and so forth.
* The 2 or 3 consecutive letters may be from the beginning, middle, or end of the above word.

McCain Votes Protect Domestic Terrorists
"... McCain has repeatedly voted against protecting Americans from domestic terrorists in the anti-choice movement. On multiple occasions throughout his career, McCain sought to limit the government’s ability to punish violent anti-choice fanatics by:
– Voting against making anti-choice violence a federal crime. As the Jed Report notes, McCain voted in 1993 and 1994 against making “bombings, arson and blockades at abortion clinics, and shootings and threats of violence against doctors and nurses who perform abortions” federal crimes.
– Opposing Colorado’s “Bubble Law.” McCain said he opposed Colorado’s “Bubble Law,” which prohibited abortion protesters from getting within 8 feet of women entering clinics [Denver Post, 2/27/00]. The law was later upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.
– Voting to allow those fined for violence at clinics to avoid penalties by declaring bankruptcy. NARAL Pro-Chioce America notes that McCain “voted to allow perpetrators of violence or harassment at reproductive-health clinics to avoid paying the fines assessed against them for their illegal acts by declaring bankruptcy.”
