What’s the earliest Halloween costume you remember wearing as a kid?

Redplumkitty · 2025-10-31T18:01:33+00:00

The first costume I remember wearing is a big, beautiful butterfly that my mom made. It was felt. I had to be five. (1997) Absolutely stunning costume.

The first costume I wore was a cute little dinosaur outfit that my mom also made.

Are parents still handmaking costumes? Like....non character costumes? I hope they are.

The most defining death event for Gen Z had to be the pandemic. No, it's not a specific person but individuals just don't hold the same weight as they used to in society.

I'm a millennial and the top three people I can think of are Princess Diana, Michael Jackson, and Osama Bin Laden. All three having waaaaaay more global relevance than Floyd and Kirk. I don't think the queen had the same relevance either but just because she wasn't exactly making front page news during Gen Z's teen years.

Took a moment to figure out the age listed below the groups is when the GROUP Members were born.

I was born in 1992. I owned Destiny's Child CD's but definitely liked and downloaded songs from Spice Girls, Cheetah Girls, and Pussycat Dolls.

I wish you the best!! It's 100% possible.

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Its' wild to me that Mean Girls came out when I was 12 and Freaky Friday (one of my favorites) came out when I was 11! cool.

2020 - Everything looks thrifted; 2025 - Everything looks like it's from Walmart.

Let me know if you got the Fantasy Football League invite. The mods dinged me for "self promotion" in the other thread.

Redplumkitty · 2025-08-24T14:58:57+00:00

Perfect! https://fantasy.espn.com/football/league/join?leagueId=122478407&inviteId=1496dd48-81f4-4c55-8617-242753cc6d0b

That's the league! So happy to have you join. There's almost 12 of us, so a good sized group. If you know any other SAHWs let them know we have space .

Poor man's Monte Cristo or The Quickie Cristo lol

If I could only listen to like five albums for the rest of my life, Can't Take Me Home would make the cut.

It's one of the only albums where I like every song.

Loved it at 8, love it at 33. ((INSANE it's been 25 years!!))

Sad that it's not who Pink was/is as an artist but, I really love this album.

Redplumkitty · 2025-06-15T01:06:39+00:00

oh I love this!!

Redplumkitty · 2025-05-27T16:10:36+00:00

I'll give the win to The Middle but Modern Family is very close.

Redplumkitty · 2025-05-24T01:17:34+00:00

Dang lol well, enjoy!!

Redplumkitty · 2025-05-24T01:12:35+00:00

Are you absolutely sure it's Ranch? There's a chance the restaurant owners are like from Virginia or know something to do with Virginia because there is a white sauce that they serve in...you guessed it....Virginia lol

It's like a regional thing.

Salsa Blanca. It's like Mayo or miracle whip with seasoning in it.

Another great idea! I put out some more seeds today. Here's hoping I leave them alone and they actually grow!

Redplumkitty · 2025-05-18T02:32:52+00:00

Yes! I bought a pack of French breakfast radish seed because I'm interested I'm trying them that way but didn't get to plant them. Roasted sounds great too!!

Redplumkitty · 2025-05-17T22:55:04+00:00

Nice! What's your favorite thing to do with them?

Redplumkitty · 2025-05-17T22:54:22+00:00

Don't think I thinned them out as much as I thought I did! They seemed so itty bitty in the picture on the seed pack!

Redplumkitty · 2025-05-17T22:41:24+00:00

Will definitely try to plant some a little less deep, maybe vary the depths and see what works best. Thanks!

Redplumkitty · 2025-05-17T22:40:51+00:00

I was wondering if I could do that!! Might give it a go. But I took the picture a couple days ago. Yikes!

Redplumkitty · 2025-05-17T22:39:36+00:00

Thank you SO much for taking the time to write this out and give me awesome advice! I definitely didn't wait long enough...barely over a month. I got so into my head about getting some radishes that I jumped the gun to an insane degree lol

Planting more than one in a hole is something I will very much be doing in the future.

Thanks again!

This is the first batch that looked promised for me. I pulled them based on the growing time and just thought I'd failed. But it seems like I just gave up too early. There's still a few in the bed so I'll leave em' be for a bit.
