I'm Salty........About Being Salty

Fireworks. Something that used to brighten my world as a child..literally. Wherever, however, we used to line up the towns to enjoy each of their displays.

Huge shows with friends and family afterwards. Back then, the 'good stuff' was illegal here and a few guys used to make runs down south to stock up for the big weekend. Nowadays, it's not the same. It's noisy all the time and woefully expensive.

All I can think is *BOOM* "There went twenty bucks." *BANG* "Ohhhp. Someone just set a fifty on fire." *HUGE BANG POP BOOM* "Well, there went someones paycheck!"

If it weren't bad enough that it's concerning that I'm worried about what others spend their money on, I actually get irritated and annoyed hearing them on a weekday or late at night!

Ugh. First world problems from an aging crankster.

We should enjoy celebrating the 4th of July while we can!
The booms only last a few days and then we can sleep after
it's over.

In my neighborhood it's every Fri-Sun evening/night since May and will last until the end of August.

I lived across the street from Disneyland the whole year of their 50th anniversary celebration and got 2 fireworks shows a night in my head..9:00 PM and at 12 Midnight..had to be up for work at 5 AM.

I hear ya though....BIG money up in smoke for sure....

Yup. You suck. I have some 1/4 sticks I buy for 20 bucks a piece I like to light off every year.

a reply to: JinMI

Ahhh,I did forget that some people set off fireworks when their kids'
graduate from school,when they get married or have some left over.

Are they shooting lighted rubber bullets into the air?

Sounds like poor training to me. How do you expect them to handle gunshots in the upcoming cival war? Come on dbc.

Cats suck, there's your problem.

That's fine if you want to be subservient.

It's not really the point of a "pet".

Get off my lawn.

a reply to: DBCowboy

My cats as well.

That isn't a huge bother however as it allows the time needed to trim her nails and brush her. She might as well be feral otherwise.

I'm a married woman,I'm suppose to be subservient.

Living in a City that had a Major Fire (Santa Rosa Ca.) and living around dry fields, I wish People could keep it to the 4th instead of the 2 weeks before to 2 weeks after. Some people seem to not care what the results of their big BOOMS are.

If you start yelling at little kids to get off your lawn you are officially ~OLD~
