I’m the host for this week’s Best of Boomer Blogs #424.
Last week, I wrote some articles about Halloween. While my readers like my consumer articles, such as the one I wrote this week about the World Health Organization classifying ham, bacon, hot dogs, and other processed meats as cancer causing, they like the consumer articles I write about holiday topics even more.
I’m getting hundreds of hits on my Halloween articles, especially what to do with leftover Halloween candy. Click on this link if you need some tips so you don’t put on five extra pounds from eating it.
I just had four trick-or-treaters. Fortunately, I only bought one bag of candy. Then, I was wise when I went back to the store, thinking I might need more. You don’t like to run out. I bought two packages of boxes of raisins.
My daughter says raisins are a lame thing to give out on Halloween. However, it was a good backup choice. Now, I can eat raising instead of leftover candy.
By the way, I work hard every day to fight my “sweet tooth.” Diabetes runs in my family, so I try not to eat sweets. However, if it’s in the house, I’ll eat it.
My blogging buddies have much more serious topics on their minds.
