- Dole it out. Bub gets a choice of a couple pieces of candy or whetever we are having for desert each night. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 12:07 4
  - That was about what we did, though we pretty much let them go to town on the stuff on Halloween itself. -- nm - pmb Oct 27, 12:13 3
    - He gets a few, but he is four. - Spawn Oct 27, 12:47 2
      - 1 piece per year. So this year he gets four. :) -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 27, 12:47 1
        
        I am just waiting for him to realize he can ask me to check some while we are still walking around. - Spawn Oct 27, 12:50

  - 15 -- nm - decline Oct 27, 12:07
- our generation that are parents are a bunch of effing morons - The Legend of CQ Hollow Oct 27, 12:06 4
  - also, just trick or treat a certain amount of houses that way you don't get that much candy. - The Legend of CQ Hollow Oct 27, 12:09 3
    - we'll trick or treat about as far as I'm willing to carry an Ewok. and then we're done. -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 12:16
    - we got to enjoy plenty candy that night, but after a while the bags were taken away and we had candy in the house for weeks. - Divali Oct 27, 12:14 1
      - For me, I got through the "good" candy in about a week. Then just the "bad" candy was left, and it lasted forever. -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 12:27
- jeebus - try being a parent. you can't let 5 and 7 yr old kids who are sweets-crazy decide when to eat their ginormous stash of friggin candy. - Divali Oct 27, 12:06
- We have a candy drawer. Everything goes in it and we have to be asked to get into it. - Jim Oct 27, 12:05 6
  - On Halloween night, though, we do let them go overboard on candy. It's one frickin' night to just be a glutton. They love it. - Jim Oct 27, 12:08 3
    - plus, how else do you expect them to stay up for the Samhain festival? -- nm - 4,198,574,430 Oct 27, 12:11 1

  - If, in 5 years, I'm here asking questions like this outside of the "So, just curious on others' methods cuz here's my method"...shoot me. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 27, 12:02 1
    - we will, don't worry -- nm - Epiphany Oct 27, 12:05
  - apparently this is a big issue with parents lately. "well they got a shit ton of candy but we can't just let them EAT it can we?" -- nm - poxie Oct 27, 12:02 6
    - "Little Boy Metz, you get 5 pieces tonight to eat, 3 to insert into your nose, and 2 have to sit on your nightstand to teach you restraint." -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 27, 12:04 1
      - L3! -- nm - Epiphany Oct 27, 12:07
    - well WE all turn out all right - so they really *could* just let them eat it - but common damn sense says to dole it out -- nm - Epiphany Oct 27, 12:03 3
      - for a given value of "all right" - 4,198,574,430 Oct 27, 12:07 2

amanda, I'm in the same boat: I pay on time always, I don't carry much debt. I'm not sure what I actually can do to increase my score. - ty97 Oct 27, 11:54 21
- http://www.myfico.com/crediteducation/improve yourscore.aspx -- (link) - mara Oct 27, 12:06
- for the life of me I can't figure out how mine is so terrible. one medical charge + one indentity theft charge ( now disputed) - Epiphany Oct 27, 12:00 10
  - I understand closing credit lines can ding your report - 2 Geisty for my Zeit Oct 27, 12:30 1
    - NPR report interview said the really only thing you can do to improve credit score was to pay off consumer debt and keep using/paying it - 2 Geisty for my Zeit Oct 27, 12:34
  - I would guess you dont have enough open lines. What does the grade say for you on that. Heck they say mine at an average of 6 years old need to get - Capstern Oct 27, 12:04 7
    - how is it possible ... - zork Oct 27, 12:09 1
      - I went to my bank (WF) and applied for a modifed hardship repayment plan. - Capstern Oct 27, 12:12
    - I have no idea what the grade says for that. it would make sense since we closed every damn thing we had - Epiphany Oct 27, 12:06 4
      - Did you keep the oldest ones? -- nm - mara Oct 27, 12:12
      - that's gonna hurt you. -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 12:11 1
        
        I guess it did - we don't have to buy anything substantial ( knock on wood) for another couple of years - Epiphany Oct 27, 12:13
      - Yeah not enough does hurt you too. I know 12 months of ontime (mortgage) will raise me 25 pts or so - Capstern Oct 27, 12:09
- take on more debt, and pay it -- nm - Bloger Blore Oct 27, 11:59
- Yep, same here. I have some modest debt, but I don't need more so I never got it. - Will Hunting Oct 27, 11:56
- serious question - at that level, does it matter? -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 11:54 6
  - not really. -- nm - decline Oct 27, 11:56 5
    - aren't I likely to get better mortgage rates at 800 than I am at 752? I mean, I would like to pay less. -- nm - amanda romney Oct 27, 12:02 4
      - probably only big corporations and some countries would get a better rate than you. - zork Oct 27, 12:06
      - I thought anything over 750 would result in the best rates available with just about any lending institution (of course I could be wrong) -- nm - decline Oct 27, 12:04
      - better than 3%? - poxie Oct 27, 12:04
      - I recall my mortgage broker saying "Anything above X number will qualify you for the best rates" - ty97 Oct 27, 12:04
I don't like my current nick. I blame pixie. -- nm - amanda romney Oct 27, 11:50 6
- znufrii's repulsion -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 11:52 2
