Laura, those are fair points as long as the fireworks are limited to the specific day of celebration.
edit: I will allow an exception for putting municipal/official fireworks displays on a weekend when the holiday doesn't fall on the weekend.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Huh. I had no idea there were all those rules.
While I was pondering calling my mom to tell her I didn't really want to go hike and see fireworks like we had sort of planned, she called to tell me she didn't feel like it. So that worked out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's a lot of rules, Debet! Good luck figuring something out that works for you both.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Oy. The firework people are at it behind my house. I think they are too close and I am going to die. I also never liked fireworks because of the noise. I did always wonder how they did the fireworks of Seven thistles and a rose in Eight Cousins.
I think that all the n names I get called are people trying to slit my name into one they already know. No people of color really have that problem, which is interesting. Maybe Nadine is more popular in other cultures?

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
People misspell and mispronounce everything. No matter what.
We have a relatively simple last name, but always spell it for people because they inevitably mishear the first letter. Which lead to the following conversation in our house:
Me making an appointment over the phone: "That's "v" as in "vampire ..."
Mr. Loomy, once I'm done with the call: "Y'know, I say "v as in victory".
Me: "Who are you married to? Why are you surprised?"

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
A colleage's assistant always seemed to mis-name me. I got Evelyn, Marilyn, Jennylyn?,Jennifer, Natalie...
I finally realized she literally couldn't remember anything except it has three syllables, so she was trying every three-syllable name in hopes she'd hit it right. Write.it.down.sweetie.
I also told colleage when the assistant put me through, or gave her a message from someone with a three-syllable name, odds were pretty good it was me. Evidently the assistant had excellent skills in some other area.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Sophie, what's to stop you from applying for the job you like when the powers that be realize they will have to pay someone more AND hire an assistant for them?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
People often pronounce "Fogelson" as "Ferguson," which who knows why.

I was going to try to be in bed by now, but downtown Mogadishu out there is making it unlikely. The remarkable similarity to some of those sounds to automatic gunfire is making me antsy, I hope any local veterans are somewhere quiet or have very good ear protection on.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
fireworks may not go away, but they are unlawful here - and the fire danger is high. I have no problems with the municipal ones, but the one all around me that could set my yard on fire . And I have neighbors that left town to go a quieter area - because their dog rips apart a metal crate
