2. Ever since I turned 17,

I had a new Halloween tradition to replace trick-or-treating: Mass amounts of alcohol. Same stomach ache, less cavities.

3. I think Social Security regulations prohibit it if you're

receiving benefits

4. If I remember correctly, it became uncool in middle school

I was rather annoyed last year that the majority of tricker treaters looked like they could drive.

5. Is there still trick-or-treating?

I thought that died in the late 80s, everyone being afraid of being poisoned and all.

6. Maybe not as old as 15, but not as young as 12...

Middle/Jr High School years are pure hell. I think young teens need Trick-or-Treat to de-stress.

High schools should host costume dance/parties so there's something for older kids to look forward to.

7. If not trick or treating should be going out to do some kind of mischief.

Love that feeling of getting away with something. Coming home from freeway blogging last night, hubby says, this feels like Halloween. Ah that feeling of mischief.

8. Anytime before you have a full time job

after that go with your kids!

9. I plan to cut eyeholes in a paper bag, put it over my head,

and go around to the neighbors with a shotglass in my hand. "Trick or Treat."

I turned 60 a couple of weeks ago.

10. If you don't wear a costume, but still go door to door with a bag...

...it's time to grow up and start handing out candy instead.
