Topic: Happy 4th of july

YAY WE GET TO BLOW STUFF UP TODAY! lol, not really :P I jsut get to light of fireworks.

woot! go america!

I hate holidays. I hate this holiday. Holidays mean thousands of people all shopping on the same day. Independence Day comes on the same day every year and has done so for a very long time. It's not like it just sneaks up on you and pops out at random. Shouldn't people be at home BBQing or something? Camping? Picnicking? At the lake? At a the fairgrounds? Why are they all shopping???? And why have every single one of them left their brains at home? Today was busy. Busy like the week before Thanksgiving busy. And I was running around doing all the things no one else was doing and so I got nothing stocked in my own department, so tomorrow will not be fun trying to catch back up. And we ran out of ice which made everyone mad. Well if you'd come in and bought it yesterday when we still had some this wouldn't be happening would it? And you wouldn't have had to stand in line would you? And I wouldn't be up front checking instead of doing my job would I? It would make everyone happy.

Other than mad rushes at the store, Yay us, we were once a great country, now? You're lucky to find anyone with a brain anymore, common sense is dead. Seriously who knocks over a yogurt and leaves it just laying on it's side? It's that kind of stupidity that I hate. And why do you need yogurt today anyway? Go buy some hamburger meat or potato salad or something.

(please excuse me I just got home from work)

Happy 4th July :D I hope all of you that are celebrating have a funky day :D

LOL Miba though at your rant, I am sorry but it did make me smile ;) but here are some (hugs) for you stressful day.

Well you can coun't me OUT of your list of stupid people cu'z I got what I needed at costco 2 days before :P

lol nice rant. i'm not a big fan of today either, but i like food like Max Rebo likes food. so i go to parties and eat. but today's pool party sucks so i just ate a few hot dogs, some chips n soda, then left. now that i'm home, i'm eating more chips.

LOL that is cute…Max Rebo is funky in Tales from Jabba’s palace. I hope you enjoy your food :)

yes let us express pur love of freedom by blowing up things :p

and if i may be afforded an additional rant
oh man i cant wait til this president is gone, for those of you across the pond and beyond,
the white house is run amuck with clowns right now...

yes im sure this comment will insite someones ire...happy forth everyone.

I saw an awesome firework show at a lake.

a couple of neighbors just blew a ton of fireworks in front of my house. i wanted to run out with a bowl of chips and scream as a joke, but i was too busy reading a book at the time/watching the fireworks.

way to be good patriots, you only live here!!
I felt out cu'z I wanted to rant too.

.....for the record I love the fourth,sure we waste a small fortune on fireworks we blow to hell anyways,but I think it's worth it to celebrate my freedom with the little family I have.And I don't know about where you all live,but very few peoplewere shopping today....almost everyone was firing off illegals and trying not to draw attention from the cops(they had a few choppers out looking for illegals)

It will indeed be funky when he has gone. Though in a way I will miss the stilly things that he says (he really has said some classic things)

We are now free of his co-conspirator (thankfully) but I am not sure Brown is any better at the moment and there is no opposition worth bothering with…well unless Alex Salmond gets his way and we get independence from the UK.

I also really do not like fireworks, they scare my younglings and animals :( We get it happening on the 5th November here and some people think that it is perfectly fine to set of fireworks for the fortnight leading up to it and the fortnight afterward. I wish they were banned like in Canada.

I like the fire works, but I agree with you Devil Girl, they should just be on the one or two days surronding the Fourth.

I also tried to listen to this patriotic song as much as I could:

OMG one of my neighbors brought 81 mortors. it was so Awesome! he gave me and BD our own box, so we each got 6 shots for our mortor. TEHN after like 2 hours, of the little TNT stuff, we graped the rest of the mortors, which was bweteew 12-19 shots, I dont remember. set them next to each other, and used Torches to light them, and ran, then looked up. It looked the the Death Star Exploding in Return of the Jedi. IT WAS AWESOME! it was so great.

I am glad you had fun but eek…eek

Nothing like that ever happens over here…LOL though I have to confess I am not upset.

LOL that is just mad

I liked our fireworks show, despite the small townishness of it.  I think I was on the wrong side of the river though...  Rednecks galore.  *shudders*

I recorded the fireworks on my cell and they were great but in  colorado fireworks are band so we couldnt use ours

how lame is that! I would hate that.

I love canada, and I love america....GO NORTH AMERICA <.<  >.>  :D  happy belated canada day and independence day to our american friends

I couldn't imagine not having firework....I mean it's bad enough that so many of em are illegal here(no one cares though) this year anyone who got caught with illegals(mainly bottle rockets and mortor) got a $10,000 fine

and Canadians are great(has several friends up there)

me too i like Canadians, one more then others a LOT more...
*ah-hem* But I did do a bit of firewoking myself and I love it! there are few things more exiting then haveing something that you know is going to blow in your hand and then liting it. I will be honest though, we are very safe with our fire works that means no lanching then with dry grass or at people OR animals,houses,cars,ext, but we still have a lot of fun with out killing people.
oh and we only do it on july 4th or new years, not before not after.

That is funky as sadly that does happen here. There have been cases of fireworks been tied to animals before being set off, people have also had fireworks thrown at them as well :(

Actually it is not bad where I live now. But the place where I grew up always has lots of fireworks anytime from a up to a month before November 5th to at the most a month after it.

For what it is worth Miba, the Fourth of July is my favorite holiday not just out of patriotism but also because it does not have all the anticipation with subsequent letdown that holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving do. Plus summer is my favorite time of year cold-natured heat freak that I am.

True, that is one good thing about it. It doesn't have the buildup and falldown. And I do enjoy fireworks.
