I know this sounds very weird but growing up during the civil war in Rhodesia, fireworks were banned. I only experienced them when I came to South Africa in 1987.

"the founding father's owned slaves!!!!!" - dozens of morons every year

WE KNOW

VenomX73 · July 04, 2014, 01:12:32 PM

Yup - only in an American Holiday thread...

I never read anything like that in any other posted here - UK, Germany...

Why Lester?

and by the way... are you calling us morons? - Because we celebrate this great country's birthday?

lester1/2jr · July 04, 2014, 02:26:37 PM

No, I'm saying that people who point out that the founding fathers owned slaves are morons for thinking we don't already know that

Rev. Powell · July 04, 2014, 02:57:25 PM

Thanks for clarifying - I thought you were saying dozens of people per year were morons for agreeing to be slaves.

Just another day at the office for the Northeast...it rained all day yesterday and it's raining now. I Guess the saying "rain on the parade" was invented in Northeast.

But yeah, Happy 4th to everyone and may those of you whose cookouts weren't ruined by the rain enjoy the food and the fun

Happy 4th of July to the good ole USA!

Jack · July 04, 2014, 04:12:28 PM

I always get a special feeling when I see the red white and blue.

It rained all day but stopped a while ago and the sun came out about 2 hours ago.
It was hot and muggy yesterday and grew threatening late in the day... but now it's cool and clear.
We have lots of reasons to be glad. I am very happy to be in New Jersey.

I'm sitting here in bed watching Christmas movies with a couple broken ribs and I can't breathe.

I haven't seen the fireworks, and no friends bothered asking if I wanted to go.

Can't even celebrate with a beer.

How's everyone's going?
