That sounds really nasty, though it could be worse.

you know... a box of latex gloves at the drug store isn't horribly expensive. And I think they're a great idea for anything involving glue or hot peppers.

It's as simple as that
So tell me I'm mad
Roll me up and breathe me in
Come to my madness
My opium den
Come to my madness
Make sense of it again."

Latex is always your friend.

you know...... That's not where I was going with that, but it gave me right chuckle. It's true. 'less you're alergic, or someone else is... then trouble.
anyway...

So now the trick-or-treating is done. I hope everyone got some nice treats, and not too many tricks... 'less you were out looking for tricks, then we get back to the latex being your friend.

Next Holiday: Here in the US we have the upcoming "Thanksgiving" wherein we're supposed to recall the things in our lives that we're thankful for.
I'm not going to get overly mushy, not that drunk, but I am thankful for all the good people here. The fine folk that haunt these two threads on a regular basis have kept me from dipping too far below the sanity line on more that a few occassions. Of course there's the occassional contribution to the dipping low too, but that's to be expected anywhere that you care about the people around you. So thanks to those that kicked me in the butt when I needed it, those that hoised a glass with me when I needed it, and those that extended a hand and pulled me from oblivion's gate when I needed it. to all of you.

What's the next big UK holiday? or Canadian Holiday? Do we have regulars from anywhere else?

Ooh, I had inspiration this weekend and the Renn Faire. A way to jazz up my piratical costume for use next year at D*C.

I am going to make a coat, a Captain's coat, ala Captain Hook. But REALLY pretty and feminine. There was one in a shop that looked very much like my skirt, except in red and it was sooooooo pretty! I NEED one.

And, I might acquire a hat.

Remembrance day (AKA Armistice day or here in the states Veterans day) which in the US at least is being observed on the 10th. Dunno how big it is abroad actually. Here it's only a holiday for banks and the government. Canada of course has already had their thanksgiving and the UK just cellebrated Guy Fawkes day. After that I think it's just the religious observances that more or less coincide with the changing of the callender.

Same in Canada.

After that, there's nothing but Christmas. Well, technically, Solstice comes first by a few days, but Christmas is basically a big, co-opted Solstice party anyway.

yeah, we have Rememberence Sunday, but thats not a public holiday so much as an observance, than its christmas.

It occured to me that i don't know a single jewish person, so i've no idea when hanne... honn, their holiday is. Or even how to spell it.

Thats even with a synagogue ? somewhere in liverpool, and the fact that we get families of jewish and Hasidic(sp?) jews in the museum all the time. I think i live in the only cultural vacum in the wirral.

Did you know Daniel Craig (the new Bond) is from the wirral? yeah, he went to a school in Hilbre.


Why can i not find out about the presence of these guys BEFORE they leave and get all famous?

Isn't sanity really a one trick pony, anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo... the skys the limit!

Hanukkah, Chanukkah, Channukah, Hannukah or however else it may be spelled, starts at sundown on the 15th of December this year.

I have several Jewish friends, so I try to remember this. And Yom Kippur and Passover, big high feast days.
