I do have a baseball bat at the ready, just in case. The machete is a bit scary, though. Guess I'll scratch that surprise onsite booty call from my list of things to do! yikes. I found nothing about Asian tradition regarding ribbons on trees, either. Some site about Asian American girls committing suicide at a high rate, but those ribbons were yellow and magnetized for SUVs and stuff. Not anything traditional. I'd be interested to know about the ceremony, if anyone comes up with anything.

We DID keep a baseball bat for intruders. I am not big on rituals. Interesting, I’m a mutt-Irish, French, German, Swedish, British…and I don’t know a single custom of any of them.

I cannot think of a particular custom off the top of my head. Wish that I could. I love a Thursday Thirteen that teaches me something.
