YES - HALLOWEEN IS COMING, IN FACT - IT'S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.....  I have something important for you to do - before HALLOWEEN gets here....  It concerns YOUR children and ALL THE OTHER KIDS that will be out going door to door on that frightful night!  The children will be looking for TREATS, not TRICKS.... Do you know what AMBER ALERT is?  Of course you do, and before HALLOWEEN, sign up for AMBER ALERT NOTIFICATIONS OFFERED BY YOUR ISP (INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER)...  WHY?  Well, can you think of a better time to have AMBER ALERTS SENT DIRECTLY TO YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR EMAIL?  Just in case.....  Play it safe!  Perhaps you do not allow your children to go beyond the boundaries of the immediate neighborhood - well - that's good, but HOW DO YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE GOING TO RUN INTO ALONG THE WAY, especially if they are out of your line of sight, walking alone....  ????  Don't let the holiday season start off with echos of the grim reaper - and above all - be serious about this!  It is not a joke!  Even if you walk with your kids - you never know....turn your back for a few seconds to say hello to another neighbor, and all of a sudden - you notice something very important -  YOUR CHILD IS MISSING!!!!!  DO IT NOW - right after you finish reading this - and make certain you enter at least 3 - 5 zipcodes when you set up the alert...  For example, enter WHERE YOU LIVE, and perhaps one or two towns that you frequent often or that are close by - you know, ones that your kids may VISIT ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT!  LET'S KEEP THE BOOOOO IN FRIGHT NIGHT, AND NOT TURN IT INTO BOOOO WHOOOOO...  STAY SAFE!!!!
