The bulk of you (and ha, that is absolutely NO reference to all that Halloween candy you so considerately swiped screened from your child’s bag) went trick-or-treating on Halloween at 40%, with the next largest contingent being those who handed out candy with 37%.  A suprisingly large amount of you, 22%, did nothing, and to be honest, I can’t say as I blame you. 

Now that we’ve got candy on the brain, and with even more holiday goodies approaching, what is your favorite type of candy?

It seems like the flu just doesn’t get you motivated, as 38% of you said that you don’t bother to get shots. Either that, or you actually kind of look forward to to the time off work. A surprisingly large amount of you, 12%, stated you were against flu shots, and I’m curious as to why. Don’t like the side effects? Government conspiracy? I so very want to know. The rest of you either faithfully get your shots every year (29%) or at least you faithfully try to get them (19%).

How can I not talk about Halloween today? Did you go to a party? Did you dress up? Did you go trick or treating with your kids? Did you wear a costume? Did you think someone could ask this many questions about Halloween?

I seem to be one of the only people I know that finds this video hilarious. But I’m inflicting it upon you, anyway.

Oh yeah, well you’re a sucky retail worker.

Last week I wished to find out how you felt about Heidi Klum’s Project Runway outfits for New Balance.  I’m glad to say I was not the only one who considered them fugly, as 63% of you disliked them.  Not only for being fugly, but expensive and fugly, which is the worst kind.  I don’t know ANY of my friends who would willingly wear any of those pieces, and I think my friends are the type of people whom Heidi thinks would buy her stuff.  Sorry, Heidi, but you struck out with these.

Today I want to talk about pets.  One of my neighbors has a very cute French Bulldog, and as I was fawning over him, her six year old son asked me why I didn’t have a dog of my own.  I gestured at my daughter and said I was already dealing with enough poop, I didn’t need to deal with any more!  Classy, I know! When the time is right, I’m totally down with getting a dog. But, what about you?
