Halloween on 13th floor

The voice in my head is singing The Monster Mash, okay, and I want candy too.

Remember when you used to rush home from trick-or-treating and pour all your candy out on the floor to see what all you got? (Sitting on the living room floor in front of the tv.)

What was the first candy you always ate, and the last kind you always had left?

I always ate the Tootsie Rolls first. Weeks later, the last candies left were always the ones wrapped in the orange and black wax paper. They were my least favorite. But, when push came to shove, and that was all that was left, I loved them. lol Aren't kids funny. Ah, the good ol' days.

Hey, Rose. Love your Monster Mash link on your 13th floor door. Now, it has replaced Vincent Price in my head. Gr8 room.

What I remember is my parents and older siblings going through my take, and picking out all the good stuff.

I was odd, I always liked receiving fruit.

Thanks emcall for compliment to 13th floor, its my master piece, but, thats just my opinion.

I would sit on my bed and spread the candy out into piles of the same thing.
I liked popcorn balls and cookies and cupcakes - homemade treats, but that was back in the day when it was safe to eat homemade stuff.

I remember the wax paper wrapped, orange and black taffys, peanut butter chews or salt water taffy.
When I was living down in the Central Valley I had a lot of Mexican friends and they had cool candy like sugar skulls and bones!!
Did your teacher let you chew gum the day after Halloween?

TODAY'S NEW ITEMS!

Jack-o-lanterns and gravestones and coffins and CANDY !

Oh my!

Woo~hoo....Halloween is here, finally !!
PLease stop by & visit my 16th Floor, a WIP (hoping for more spooky items!)

Hey, guys. I just came into hotel and found new items. I had to come see if this thread was exploding with excitement. You finally got some Halloween stuff. I can hardly wait to see what you all do with it. Will come by your spooky floors as time permits. I am frantically earning opals to buy up all Pier1 stuff before they shut down the store. L8r. *BOO*

I was glad to see the halloween items. I did not have a new floor so I disassembled my 11th and turned it into a trick or treat room. For anyone who might like to see it.Happy Halloween All..

Jam, for some of us Halloween has been here since October 1, all these delightful items just seal the deal. I love the Halloween item!!!!!!!!!!!! Have I said this already, why, yes I have, but, its not just my opinion, its a fact. Yay Holidays

My spooky room is ready. Its really scary, so be careful when you look. Its on my 10th floor, it was too spooky for the 13th.
The scariest thing of all....NO COOKIES......Scary......

Sorry Caboose, no can do. No cookies, I'll have nightmares for the rest of my life.

Technically, there are the SHOWCASE threads in Hotel iWin Lobby and Halloween would fit under Themed rooms but because this is our first Halloween in Hotel iWin, I will start a Special Edition Thread for Halloween Rooms in the Hotel iWin Lobby. Does this work for everybody? I think it would be fabulous but then it's just my opinion.

A slip of the tongue like that could really open a can of worms. ( I know it wasn't said to offend-)

Lets hope everyone is as mature and understanding as emcall.

We all come from very DIFFERENT backgrounds so lets embrace our differences and enjoy getting to know one another.
jmo

What I meant was "rabid fundamentalist" as opposed to sane fundamentalist. I wasn't saying that all fundamentalists are rabid. Maybe I should have capitalized it?

Can somebody help Volo. She is being held hostage in one of her rooms by a band of ruthless flamingos.

help!

Coming to your rescue val. I got to take off glasses first, can't see. Oh yeah, I'm a blond for the next 12 hours so don't be alarmed, it is me, just look at my roots.

well jewelicious I tried to help Val but them pinkies pecked the heck outta my cursor I had to get outta there quick! sorry Val !

Kudos to everyone - all the Halloween rooms are wonderful !! Just goes to show what a creative group we have on Hotel Iwin. I'm always amazed at the different uses people put items to - things that would never cross my mind. Have to admit I'm guilty of pinching the odd idea or three!

LOL My Halloween room is on the second level - I'd love for some feedback (please be kind!!)

While I'm still stuck on floor 5, I've been busy decorating and redecorating for my Halloween Party! Everyone's invited and in lieu of goody bags, all my gracious visitors will be friended

AS THERE ARE ONLY 14 DAYS REMAINING UNTIL HALLOWEEN THIS WILL MORE THAN LIKELY BE MY LAST POST ON THIS PARTICULAR THREAD. SINCE I'M EMOM AND NOT GENE SIMMONS I CAN NO LONGER HOLD MY TONGUE, I HAVE RETURNED HERE TO EXERCISE MY RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH. THE DIFFERENCE BEING I'D LIKE TO DO THIS IN SONG. THIS IS JUST MY OPINION BUT MAYBE HAD THE BEATLES BEEN MEMBERS HERE AT IWIN AND HOTEL; I THINK MAYBE THEIR TAKE ON THE SONG "COME TOGETHER" PERHAPS MAY HAVE BEEN A LITTLE LIKE MY HALLOWEEN VERSION. I CALL IT MY ONE LAST DITCH EFFORT FOR HALLOWEEN ITEMS AND COSTUMES. AKA(COME TOGETHER) AND IT GOES LIKE THIS ...: .....: WE'LL TAKE A FLAT TOP....WE'LL SAY HOLY MOLY....WE NEED JOO-JOO EYEBALL...OR A DERBY ROLLER,................COUS- IN..IT'S HAIR...BE-LOW OUR KNEES....OR BAT-MANS JOKER...PLEASE I-WIN PLEASE...COME TO-GETHER RIGHT NOW ...HALLOWEEN.

COME TOGHETHER RIGHT NOW HALLOWEEN.

ABSOLUTELY FAB !

I'd Just Like To Thank The Acadamy, and Pray For World Peace !

emom, Wow. You deserve a Golden "Walrus". That's just brilliant.

WTG emom awesome song. I laughed and cheered LOL

Don't kid yourselves, guys. Those flamingos do what Val tells them to do.
They have been around from the beginning, with her. Look at her lower floors,
She just sets up these little scenes, because she does not want to admit that she is in fact a flamingoholic.
In her right mind, she would never let those birds peck your cursor.
Sorry, Val. I couldn't keep your secret any longer.

OMG!!!! emom. It is now 5:40am in my little world, and I just woke my dear sweet hubby from a deep restful slumber with hysterical laughter, and wall shaking footsteps, as I ran swiftly to the little girls room. Of course the running took place immediately following the picking up of myself from the floor.
You rock, my friend. You rock. As a child of the sixties, I adore the Beatles. Hubby, though, I must say, at the moment........ not a great fan.

***whispering softly**** I nominate you to be the first recipient of the iWin Grammy, known as "The iWimmy".
Thought of using the iWinny, but that sounds too much like a horse. ***composure regained***

If we were still in the sixties or seventies, I would have lit my lighter for you. Can't do it now. Don't smoke anything, and on oxygen.

coup de grace (literally blow of mercy)
1) the blow that kills, usually mercifully
2) a finishing stroke or decisive event

....all because I said I would give Trick or Treaters FLAMINGOS or maps....

...........but that was before iWin gave us candy.

Hey, Rose... One look at your face would probably be enough to break the spell that she has over the flamingos. You willin' to give it a go? It's for a good cause. Val and the flamingos all need it. It's for the best interests of them all. Just promise you'll give it some serious thought.

Hey Em,first of all, I believe my "looks" are getting disparaged here, but, I'm not for sure, because I am so crosseyed and my unibrow is so tight since you braided it earlier tonight. I am all for helping my friends, if my mug will help Volo to break this freakish hold she has over the flamingoes, I am at your service. Hopefully this intervention takes place in the next 12 hours, as I have an appointment with plastic surgeon after that.

Oh yeah, Em, another intervention might be needed for Volo's unhealthy love of maps, i'm just saying, and its just my opinion.

UNHEALTHY LOVE OF MAPS!!

You guys are ganging up on me....

Maps are TOTALLY COOL, you are just jealous.
Maps are A BARGIN-YOU GET ALOT FOR THE OPALS
Maps are VERY USEFUL - FOR HIDING STUFF
Maps are COLORFUL
Maps are MATHEMATICAL

I LOVE MAPS ! and Flamingos! ...LOL

Perhaps we are not seeing the BIG PICTURE. Volo could be a rogue CIA agent with a plan for world domination in order to create a Utopian environment for both her and her flamingos.
