Labour Day is Over, Lets Start Decorating for Halloween

Labour day is over, lets start decorating for Halloween. I know the stores had stuff out like a month ago - but I thought I'd wait for a after the long weekend to get my shopping done LOL.

I love Halloween - It's the ONLY holiday I do like. For some reason I like it 10X more now then when I was a kid.

Also next shopping trip need to get 2 or 3 bags of candy to put in the box downstairs. We put together bags for the kids that come here and there is a good haul of stuff in the bags - it's a lunch bag stuffed to the rafters.

I don't do the door thing as often I go out that night with friends - but I have watched them for a while when waiting for a ride. It's wonderful to see the kids come in and get the candy - the costumes are always fun and the look of joy is a lot more fun.

I have to say I'm actually glad I never had kids, but I do like to watch people with kids now and then. For example I watch a couple of family vloggers on YouTube. But I don't think I would have liked the massive pain in the ass it has to be to raise kids. Then again, maybe if I did have kids I'd have loved it - I'm just guessing at this point as I have to reference point.

When I was a kid I often had the donation box with me for some charity. It's strange, but I don't remember what the heck it was. I did it along with the trick or treating for many years and can't recall. I do remember fondly going out with my friends and doing the rounds.

I have to say it's interesting as more people here decorate for Halloween than for Christmas now. It seems Christmas is starting to fade from popularity in my community. Speaking of Christmas, I tend to watch horror films all day and eat cabbage rolls for that one.

In any event, I think I enjoy watching people on Halloween more than I enjoyed it as a kid. BTW I don't actually decorate, I don't see the point as no one ever comes over. But I would actually LOVE a skull to have out all year round - can't find one for the price I want to pay.

P.S. Queens English (UK Spelling) us used in Canada, so it's not spelled wrong LOL.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Image
Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
