(re-post into the right forum)

be careful this halloween.

My fire department has already been dispatched to two fires resulting from halloween decorations.

(one was a string of lights with frayed wiring, another was from a jack-o-lantern catching fire.)

all I'm saying is, be mindful of what's going on.

(and have lots of fun.)

on that note, what's everyone doing for halloween?

i usually just drink a bottle of gatorade (or failing that, water) take some advil or whatever, and sleep for long periods of time.

I usually drink a bottle of gatorade before falling asleep.

can't say as i've heard too many jokes from friends. but there've been some good excuses.

"i've been hit in the neck with a (insert sports item here. ex: paintball, baseball, hockey puck)"

"I was playing football and ran into a clothesline."

"I have lesions"

"I was just walking along, minding my own business when a bird swooped down and hit me in the neck. sparrows are ****ing viscious this year eh?"

personally, i'm marching in a parade, then taking my neighbor's son out trick or treating. (they have a new baby, so they can't) then probably going out to a party. (this is all assuming that no one burns their own house down like last halloween) as for what i'll be? i have no idea.

I'm just saying that you never know what's gonna happen. something as simple as turning on a lightbulb could be perilous. i'm just hoping everyone takes care of themselves.

(thanks to markecephus for clearing some of that up. to be completely honest, i wasn't entirely sure how any of it happened.)

Everyone.

I just got back from a fire call of someone turning on a lightbulb and his circuit breaker exploded. he had minor injuries and some smoke damage along with the obvious damages to the breaker.
He'll be alright.

So now I'm just wishing everyone a safe week.
