How was your 4th of July?

To all the Americans out there....

Happy independence day! 🎉

I am about to go to a BBQ and watch some fireworks.

If you celebrated the 4th, what did you do?

 

[Phillip]

Went camping last night and just hung out with friends...been fixing up the house as well.

 

[Elvira]

Just been chilling here. Still no aliens...

 

[Daltonio]

I worked all afternoon.. then have to go to bed to be back 10 hours later

All I care about is that I get a day off. Other than that, just another day to me.

We were going to go to a gas station parking lot to watch the fireworks over the farm fields, but we were too tired. So we watched out our bedroom windows for a bit. Great view but there are some trees in the way.

I felt like I was getting shelled, lol. So many fireworks going off. My Border Collie was living in my lap tonight, lol . We don't celebrate, but it's nice others are having fun.

Aw, I remember when we had our dog that she would shake for hours! I hated the 4th because of that.

Yeah, she was absolutely terrified last night. Glad it's over until new years

It was a pretty good day off. Not a lot of people in my neighborhood shooting things off. Everyone did it late night on the 3rd of July till 1 in the morning.

Just like another day, because here it's not a Holiday.

 

[Crys]

It was decent. The highlight was the pitbull barking next door lol.

 

[KenDaGamer]

I napped, did forum work, watched YouTube vids and played 4 games of Jeopardy where my winnings are over $1.2M. I didn't waste 24 hours watching eating competitions or tennis.

Do you fear shootings on this date? Just a thought... due to the numerous shootings, do you struggle to distinguish between the sound of fireworks and what may actually be a gun shot? I'd be frightened if it were me. Honestly, glad I don't live in the USA. No offence to anyone - because, just to clarify, I'm not anti-American or anything like that, and I respect all ppls and groups

That sucks, hope work is going smoothly for you!

I usually take the day after off as a vacation day, its hard to sleep with all the fireworks going off until well past 11pm.

We were going to go to a gas station parking lot to watch the fireworks over the farm fields, but we were too tired. So we watched out our bedroom windows for a bit. Great view but there are some trees in the way.

We went to a BBQ that started at 4pm, staying there until it got dark / 5 hours later was the plan but it was hot and there were a lot of flies. I was annoyed so we went home before it got dark. Watched fireworks from my back porch, trees blocked a lot of them but I could see a fair amount.

Dogs hate 4th of July, its so scary for them.

Thats good, especially if you had to be up early today for work.

How was that the highlight?

So just a normal day then?

Nothing else eventful happened. No one wanted to barbecue or see fireworks so that dog was the highlight carrying a tune lol.

Lol, fair enough. I hope you had the day off at least.

It was cool, my partner's brother's house. I learned how to play Yahtzee, everyone was surprised I never played that game before. It was fun so I ordered a Yahtzee game on amazon.

I'm not surprised. I've never even heard of that game

With the a/c and tv blaring my dog sleeps if there were fireworks.
