4th of july

Soonernation: Hey there might be some British people here Alancore2duo: I responded to this comment in number 2 when you commented on that post. Check it out!

soonernation: awww you are horrible People are people no matter where they are from

soonernation:wow I am disappointed in you Shibham: Go check box 1 it will explain the whole holiday!

Wow you are going to get a war started here! I think it is hilarious that you just randomly make up your own stories to my discussions

I was not aware of that. I will try to be more considerate from now on

Somecowgirl: How come you do not gather some family and friends and have a cook out or go to a cook out? Fireworks are fun and loud! You should at least check em out.

OKay where do you all live?? I have to get my cowgirl boots on too!

Yeah i dunno we will have to wait for her to join us. Then maybe ill make some deviled eggs!

bounce58: I know how you feel. Peace and quiet sounds great right about now! That is cool that you are making it a vacation...are you staying the night in that town as well?

Well how did it turn out? Having fun yet? All glitter and gold?

Yes we are! Some rusty motel. Hopefully it isn't as dirty as I imagine!

Thats awesome I always wanted to do my own fireworks but was always afraid that I would blow my self up instead! I bet those fireworks were expensive. We can not buy them here in ohio. We usually have to find someone who lives in Pennsylvania to buy them for us!

Yes our communities have them. I live around 4 little towns and they all do them. The only thing is that we can not buy them and if someone is selling them in ohio then you have to have an out of state license to buy them and say that you are taking them out of the state to be set off. So we have a lot of ohioans who find people who have different state license to buy them

Well, trust me I won't be blowing them up, I will be sitting down enjoying them and watching them with my children, my hubby normally handles that part, he doesn't like me getting involved so that I won't get hurt. I think living in Ohio I would actually miss that, do you go anywhere to see the fireworks?

We have cook outs....fireworks.....parades. If you look in discussion box number one I posted a link from wikipedia that explains this holiday!

Ha ha yeah i am a party pooper i seem to do that alot. Soonernation yeah you had me wondering what was going on and if i had missed it! I was gonna say there were more dirty people?

Ha... _soonernation, I really believe it before Amanda81587 told me the truth. Amanda81587, thanks for the link.

Yeah I did a lot of camping this weekend heck we are still camping lol

BlueGoblin: awwwww that is a bummer but yeah I can see what they mean about the economy. I bet they take a lot of stuff away for the economy where you live. A cookout is great and hanging with the family but usually the fireworks are the big finale! But I am sure you will have a great time anyways! Make sure you drink one for me too! I will have the kids so I will not be drinking. This year will be my baby's first fireworks. I wonder if she will like them or be frightened?

This festival is also called independence day. It is was the day where we declared independence with great Britain in 1776. Here is a link where you can learn more about it if you are interested in doing so! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Day_%28United_States%29

I read it now thanks for the info my friend, good to know about your independence day.

You are welcome. Do you have a holiday like this one?

Bannedhelsing: That is awesome you get to spend the same holiday twice. Did you get it off of work on the 12th as well?

BannedHelsing: Now are you deciding to take off work or do they actually give you the day off? Are you paid on that day wither you work or not?

Unfortunate it falls on a sunday this year and sat & sun is my rest day. But in previous years I'm taking off to work during the holidays.

Yeah sometimes going to see the fireworks can bring a lot of traffic and crazy people who go dumb instantly all of a sudden Well at least where I live anyways. But I have children so I know that they enjoy it and it will be worth it for them. I am hoping this 4th of July will be good. This will be the first 4th of July that me and my boyfriend get to spend together and we have been together for 2 years

Enjoy yourself while it lasts. I seem to never be able to get rid of all my kids at once. I just get breaks from some of them. The baby does not go anywhere so I always have at least one child to tend to.

I guess it would really be a vacation then. You can never underestimate the effect of a few days without the kids. And just focus on yourself. Have a great time! And welcome to myLot!
