Non Scale Victories This Week

During last night's LIIFT 4 Shoulders workout, I saw an improvement over last weeks shoulder presses.  I was unable to do the 2nd and 3rd sets last week overhead after about 3-4 presses.  My left shoulder would literally fall like I'd lost all muscle control with 10 lb weights.  Yesterday I used the same 10 lbs and it wasn't until the 7th rep on the second set that I started to feel bad fatigue but pushed through.  On the third set my shoulders were shot but I was still able to push overhead even if slower.  I pushed to fatigue but didn't have that dangerous muscle drop I had before. The zinnias I grew from seed are mostly in full bloom and I took some pics before cutting some to put in a little vase.

Do you get any trick or treaters and if not, how long has it been and do you think it's a societal shift?

We haven't gotten trick or treaters in about 20 years.  I know there are a few kids in this area too but they have just never done it around here.  I hear this in a lot of neighborhoods all over the country so what gives?  Are mom's now just so paranoid they don't let their kids do anything anymore or are kids so connected to their screens that something fun and creative IRL seems stupid to them?

Old ass minds want to know.

  1. Yes I really do want to know. I remember when I was excited to finally have a house and eagerly waited for trick or treaters only to end up getting like 3. And as you said we haven't gotten any at all in 20 years.

    1. I was just a kid in the 70's, but in my opinion that was the best time for trick or treating, I think parents are to scared in this day and age, just trying to keep their kids safe, but it is nice to see that some people still go all out decorating. My husband and I have lived in our new area for 2 years now, no kids coming to our door or any of the neighbors, all this candy, bad for our diet!

  2. I haven't had trick or treaters since 2005. It is now trunk or treats at churches or schools. I know parents today don't let their kids do much. I guess they don't trust people. Understandable since there aren't the consequences for bad behaviour there once was.

  3. No trick or treaters here, I noticed when my kids were young, 2004 time frame, people started turning lights off and not decorating back then, people were saying in was a "sin" and were not going to participate anymore. so glad we moved from that area in the south!
