Longtime readers will recall that Merle Wayne Sneed is  a guy who doesn't like to be told what to do. Especially by nosy so-called 'experts'.  These days lots these expert types experts are lined up to give advice and tell guys like me what to do. 

Just this week a lot of know-it-all types had advice about how to ruin Halloween for the children of America.

Jyl Steinback of adviceforparents.org suggests donating some of your kid's hard-earned candy to a senior center.   Jyl?  Really, was Jill too hard to spell?

I had five damn large Snickers and my mom gave them away to some geezers.
Here's some parenting advice from the Merle Wayne Sneed organization.  Unless you wish to be known as either the victim or the parent of the suspect, I would hold off giving your kid's candy to the old folks home.

Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true. The writer is frequently wrong, sometimes just full of it, but always judgmental and cranky

LOL - yes, I would have been REALLY upset if my parents had given away my candy. It was bad enough that my mom picked through to snag the Reese's Cups. :)

A kid EARNS that candy. How could anyone take it away from him? I will confess to stealing a few pieces of dark chocolate from my children, but certainly not to giving away their stash!

Ha! After all, it is just once a year. People have no sense of proportion.

Why would a senior center want your kids' candy? They can buy candy anytime they want.

I usually realized I should have got rid of some of it when Easter rolled around and I had to go dig in the back of the closet for the "official" basket. Always, before I'd get to it, that darned plastic pumpkin would turn up with some quite-well-preserved candy in its bowels...
