types of trick-or-treat asks

🎵 trick-or-treat, where I give you a random song from a playlist of mine ✏ trick-or-treat, where I give you a small low-effort doodle of something, or perhaps a snippet of writing 🍭 trick-or-treat, where I give you a photo of a chocolate/lolly/candy/sweet/whatever you call them that I actually have nearby, or, should I run out of those, one I found on the web

🎃 TRICK OR TREATING SAFETY 🍭

HERE'S A SMALL SAFETY GUIDE I MADE FOR TRICK OR TREATING. THIS YEAR THE TSAMS BABIES AU IS HELPING US WITH PROTOCOLS. HERE TO HELP US IS RUIN AND LIL JACK

RUIN: WHY HELLO THERE EVERYONE, TODAY WE WILL BE PRACTICING "S.A.F.E.T.Y"

SAFE

ALERT

FOCUSED

EVEN

TOGETHER

YIELD

SAFE

ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS KEEP SAFETY OR EMERGENCY ITEMS, AND NEVER GO OUT ALONE WHEN GOING OUT TRICK OR TREATING (OR DOING ANY OTHER ACTIVITIES)

REMEMBER TO ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING THAT REFLECTS LIGHT OR LIGHTS UP WHEN GOING OUT IN THE DARK. YOU CAN USE GLOW STICKS, A FLASHLIGHT, BRIGHT COLORED CLOTHING, OR EVEN WEAR SHINY COSTUMES OR ACCESSORIES WHEN TRICK OR TREATING. IF YOU MUST WEAR A DARKER HARD TO SEE COSTUME, PLEASE HAVE A REFLECTIVE OR LIGHT UP BUCKET OR ACCESSORY ON YOU. SO THIS WAY PEOPLE WHO ARE DRIVING CAN SEE.

IF YOU HAVE ANY IT CAN BE A GOOD IDEA TO TAKE EMERGENCY ITEMS LIKE BAND-AIDS AND EMERGENCY WHISTLES JUST IN CASE YOU OR ANYONE ELSE NEEDS HELP, AND ALWAYS STAY WITH A GROWNUP OR CARETAKER WHEN GOING OUT.

GROWNUPS PLEASE REMEMBER TO ALWAYS KEEP HOLD OF YOUR LITTLE ONES AND BEFORE SETTING OFF TO TAKE A PHOTO OF YOU AND ALL WHO ARE GOING OUT, SO IF ANYONE IS SEPARATED YOU CAN HAVE A VISUAL TO SHOW THE AUTHORITIES.

ALERT

REMEMBER TO ALWAYS BE AWAY OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS, BE MINDFUL OF EVERYONE IN YOUR GROUP AND OTHER TRICK OR TREATERS. PARENTS/CAREGIVER IF YOU HAVE VERY YOUNG CHILDREN PLEASE KEEP THEM IN THEIR CARRIERS, STROLLERS, OR HOLD THEIR HANDS AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT LET THEM WONDER ALONE ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING UP TO A HOUSE OR CROSSING THE STREET. REMEMBER TO ALWAYS STOP AND LOOK BOTH WAYS BEFORE CROSSING THE ROAD AND MAKE SURE YOUR GROUP IS ALL TOGETHER BEFORE PROCEEDING TO THE NEXT HOUSE.

FOCUSED

REMEMBER TO STAY VIGILANCE AND FOCUS AT ALL TIMES, KEEP YOUR EYES AND EARS OPEN FOR ANY SIGNS OF TROUBLE OR DANGEROUS. KEEP A CLOSE EYE OR YOU'RE SURROUNDINGS AND MAKE SURE TO ALWAYS KNOW WHERE EVERYONE ELSE IS. LISTEN FOR YOUR LITTLE ONES, OTHERE TRICK OR TREATERS, AND ANY ON COME VESICAL.

REMEMBER TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN HOW TO RESPOND WHEN IN DANGER, IF THERE'S SOMEONE THEY DON'T KNOW, OR THAT IS TRYING TO HURT THEM, TEACH THEM TO SAY "NO" AND TO SAY OUT LOUD "STRANGER DANGER!!!" IF YOU SEE OR HEAR ANYONE FROM UR GROUP OR ANYONE ELSE IN TROUBLE, CALL THE AUTHORITIES THEN TRY TO ASSIST.

EVEN

ALWAYS KEEP A HEAD COUNT OF HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU ARE WITH.

IF YOU'RE GOING OUT WITH 2 OR MORE CHILDREN, OR EVEN JUST AS A GROUP, MAKE SURE TO HAVE EVERYONE PAIRED TOGETHER OR HAVE A DESIGNATED ADULT WATCHING OVER THEM. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR OLDER CHILDREN WATCHING OVER THE YOUNG ONES, IF YOUR OLDEST CHILD IS UNDER THE AGE OF 18, OR IS KNOWN TO NOT BE ABLE TO WATCH OVER THE YOUNGER ONES THEN DON'T LEAVE THEM ALONE.

IF YOU'RE TAKING MORE THAN 3 OR ARE GOING WITH A GROUP OF CHILDREN, THAN MAKE SURE TO HAVE AN EVEN AMOUNT OF ADULTS/CARETAKERS TO WATCH OVER THEM. WE ARE ANIMATRONICS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR CHILDCARE, BUT IF YOU ARE TAKING MANY LITTLE ONES, THAN HAVE AT LEAST ONE ADULT FOR EVERY TWO OR THREE CHILDREN. AND IF YOU HAVE A MIX OF YOUNGER AND OLDER CHILDREN THAN HAVE THEM DIVIDED EVENLY AMONG CARETAKER.

EXAMPLE: SAY YOUR GOING OUT WITH A NOTHER FAMILY, THERE ARE FOUR ADULTS AND ABOUT 6 OR 7 KIDS ALL RANGING FROM TODDLER TO OLDER TEEN. DIVIDE THE CHILDREN AMONG THE ADULTS BASED ON HOW WELL THEY CAN WATCH OVER THEM. IF THE OLDEST TEEN WISHES TO NOT PARTICIPATE MUCH THAN YOU MAY ASK IF THEY'D LIKE TO HELP WATCH THE YOUNGER CHILDREN, IF THEY REFUSE THAN DON'T FUSS AS LONG AS THEY STAY WITH THE GROUP ITS FINE. KEEP THE YOUNGEST OF THE CHILDREN CLOSE TO THEIR ADULT AND MAKE SURE NOT TO SEPARATE.

TOGETHER

THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE OF THEM ALL, STAY TOGETHER, NEVER SEPARATE FROM YOUR GROUP OF CHILDREN, THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SOOO MANY PEOPLE IGNORE AND THAT IS THE MAIN CAUSE FOR ACCIDENTS. ADULTS ITS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO WATCH OVER THE CHILDREN, ITS NOT YOUR TEEN'S, ITS NOT OTHER FAMILIES OR TRICK OR TREATERS, ITS NOT THE PERSON GIVING OUT CANDY. ITS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AS THE ADULT AND THEIR CARETAKER.

WHEN GOING UP TO SOMEONE'S HOUSE TO RESERVE CANDY, DO NOT LEAVE YOU'RE CHILD'S SIDE, GO UP TO THE HOUSE WITH THEM AND ALWAYS KEEP THEM AT LEAST 2 FEET IN YOUR PROXIMITY, SO IF ANYTHING HAPPENS YOU CAN QUICKLY ASSIST THEM. WITHER ITS YOUR CHILD GETTING SCARED OF THE DECORATIONS, FEELING A LITTLE SHY TO ASK FOR TREATS, OR SOMEONE WITH BAD INTENTIONS TRYING TO LURE IN THE CHILD YOU CAN QUICKLY ASSIST THEM AND GET TO SAFETY. MAKE SURE YOUR ALWAYS CLOSE TO THE GROUP IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.

YIELD

STOP AND SLOW DOWN A BIT, MAKE SURE NOT TO RUN OR WALK AHEAD FROM THE GROUP OR CHILDREN. TELL YOUR KIDS NOT TO RUN OFF OR GO ANYWHERE PASSED YOU. EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE TAKE A HEAD COUNT TO MAKE SURE NO ONE IS MISSING.

WHEN RESERVING CANDY TEACH THEM NOT TO EAT IT UNTIL YOU THOROUGHLY CHECK IT, IF THEY DO WANT CANDY WHILE YOUR STILL OUT CHECK IT BEFORE LETTING THEM EAT IT. LET THEM ONLY HAVE SOME CANDY BEFORE YOU RETURN HOME, ONCE HOME CHECK THROUGH THE CANDY TO MAKE SURE THERE WASN'T ANY TAMPERING, OPEN LOOSE THINGS IN IT, OR IF THERE'S ANYTHING THEY MIGHT BE ALLERGIC TOO.

WE WANT ALL OUR LITTLE ONES HAPPY AND SAFE THIS YEAR SO PLEASE PRACTICE "S.A.F.E.T.Y" WITH THEM AND DON'T LOOSE TRACK OF THEM PLEASE.

(AUTHOR'S NOTE: THESE SAFETY TIPS CAN BE USED FOR ANY OCCASION NOT JUST TRICK OR TREATING, I KNOW IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT BUT TRUST ME IT'LL BE WORTH IT IN THE LONG RUN. THERE ARE SO MANY ACCIDENTS CAUSED BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE DON'T LEARN BASIC SAFETY TECHNIQUES OR WILL JUST OUT RIGHT LEAVE THEIR CHILDREN TO THERE OWN DEVICES. ITS GOOD TO GIVE KIDS FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN ITS SAFE TO LEAVE THEM ALONE ESPECIALLY IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD WHERE ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. PLEASE BE SAFE THIS HALLOWEEN AND KEEP YOUR LOVED ONES CLOSE)

Trick or treat!! I'm wearing a Hans Castorp costume

Oh what a fascinating costume!

Artemisia is a family of over 300 known species that span a complex web of culturally significant plants across the world.

Most famous among them is the Absinth, or Common Wormwood (Artemisia Absinthium) known for being the primary ingredient in the drink Absinthe as well as Vermouth- both of which started off as medicinal drinks. Second famous is Common Mugwort (Artemisia Vulgaris), and is a favorite alternative for Hops in brewing in some Scandinavian and Eastern European countries.

Both are very minor entheogenic herbs, however, and contain Thujone compounds- leading to the history of myths that Absinthe will make you hallucinate (it won't), and stories of death (there has only ever been one known death).

Umi rounded the corner, Nozomi in tow, looking for Rin. She'd said she was somewhere nearby, and she'd said she had bad news, and another incident really wasn't what Umi needed on a night like tonight.

Rin wasn't hard to find, once they were in the right area. As soon as her eyes locked on her coterie, she stopped moping and bounded towards them, only stopping at Umi's firm hand.

"What's wrong, nya?" "What do you mean 'what's wrong?' You called us out here! And besides the fact, you can't be out like this! It's inappropriate!" "Huh? But- but I'm wearing long pants this time!"

Nozomi stepped to Umi's side and tapped her temple. Rin's bright orange ears visibly twitched.

"She means you're not wearing a mask, Rin-chan."

Rin did seem to get it decently quickly, at least, but her answer irritated Umi regardless.

"It's Halloween anyway, isn't it? Nobody's going to notice!"

Trick or treat !

There are generally 3 accepted categories of Garden Roses: Wild (or 'Species'), Old Garden Roses (sometimes also called 'Victorian' depending on age), and Modern Roses. They have been bred so extensively, and for so many centuries (reaching all the way back to Ancient Egypt), however, that there is no accurate way to tell how many cultivars actually exist across any singular category or lineage.

The height of European cultivation in particular occurred first during the 17th Century, and reached new heights again during the Victorian era; with the 19th century being considered the European "golden age" of the Rose, new terminology such as "Rosarian" and "Rosarium" were coined, and numerous Rose societies were created. Rose colors also featured prominently in Victorian Floriography (though the Victorians only renewed and modified the language, which originated with the Ottoman Turks).
