For the last 2 months, I have been buying alot of Halloween decorations. I mean honestly, can your house be over decorated for halloween...no!

By the way, Big Lots is a gem and everything is now 30% off as of yesterday....

This is so funny! I was in Big Lots yesterday and thought to myself "who the hell buys all of this Halloween sh*t?" Now I know. :)

I have the same addiction!

Big Lots is the poo for Halloween deco. They have lots of scary stuff. Walgreens is good too, if you shop there closer to Halloween like the day before they will mark everything down to get it out. Big Lots is good to go to after Halloween for sales if you plan on doing this next year too. The dollar tree usually has those small gothic tombstones, they're pretty neat.

But IMO, if you want it to look good invest in some black lights, the real ones not the incandescent kind. You can have minimal decorations and it still look awesome with black lights & spiderwebs. Make sure you take the time to really spread out the spider webs, they will look so much better and if you can only find the spider rings make sure you cut the ring part off cause it looks stupid.

I made a party punch once and used cranberry juice to fill latex gloves(washed them first), freeze the filled gloves and use it to float in the punch. The funny thing was the fingers ended up falling off in such a way where it looked like it was giving you the finger.

You can do the same thing with a cheap plastic mask just cover the eyes & nose holes with tape.

Tonic water http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonic_water will glow under a black light. Pretty cool effects when you put in fake snakes, spiders, body parts in old jars with the tonic water.

I was just at the store and saw some gummy body parts. I have a whole collection of body parts, they are made out of that sticky rubbery stuff that will stick to the wall when you throw it.

Use glow in the dark hairspray on mirrors, windows & other washable nonporous things.

Rig a big nasty fake spider on a fishing line over your door & connected to something from above like a light so when you open your door the spider will appear as if it's crawling back up to it's web.

Spiderwebs. Make sure you take the time to really spread out the spider webs, they will look so much better and if you can only find the spider rings make sure you cut the ring part off cause it looks stupid.

I have real spider webs! Anyone wants them are welcome to it. :D

(It's tough for me to reach up into corners from my "chair". I usually hire Merry Maids once a year to come in and clean up high.)

Pshh, don't use that as an excuse. I'm probably only a couple inches taller than you when I'm standing. I have a duster with a 20ft telescopic handle on it. ;)

      From what I gather, sure it allows you more room in that you can manipulate the cap more due to smaller prorated amounts to fit salaries in, but for cap purposes, you're still on the hook for the money at the end of the day.    "ChatGPT You said: What are the advantages for NFL teams to sign larger signing bonuses? ChatGPT said: NFL teams often use large signing bonuses as a strategic tool in contracts. While they cost real cash up front, they offer several advantages, especially when it comes to salary cap management, player retention, and negotiation leverage. Here's a breakdown of the benefits: ✅ 1. Salary Cap Flexibility Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract (up to 5 years) for salary cap purposes. This allows teams to spread out the cap hit, even if the player receives the money immediately. Example: A $20M signing bonus on a 4-year deal counts only $5M/year against the cap. ✅ 2. Attracting Top Talent Players love signing bonuses because they're guaranteed money paid up front. Offering a bigger signing bonus can sweeten the deal without inflating yearly salaries. ✅ 3. Front-Loading Real Cash, Not Cap Teams with strong cash flow can pay big bonuses now while minimizing the immediate cap hit. Useful for teams trying to build around rookie QB contracts or with flexible cash budgets. ✅ 4. Locking in Key Players Larger bonuses make it harder for a player to be released early due to dead cap consequences. This can create more job security for the player and roster continuity for the team. ✅ 5. Leverage in Restructures Big signing bonuses create future cap hits via proration. Teams can later restructure deals (e.g., convert salary to bonus) to create even more cap space. ✅ 6. Competitive Edge In free agency, a team offering more guaranteed cash up front often wins the bidding war, even if the total contract value is lower than another team's. ⚠️ Key Caveat: Large signing bonuses increase dead cap risk if the player is cut or traded early."   I think that roster bonuses can be a useful tool if you're trying to keep players in by manipulating numbers and spreading the hit over time, but I don't think that it's something that you want to use unless it's "necessary." I don't know that you want to get into signing rookies on roster bonuses, as the bust rate is relatively high.

      not even if that team in New Orleans disbands before the first game.  Saw one 2026 mock that had them drafting first next year.
