Today is the 4th of July and as usual I am doing nothing. I may walk up and see the fireworks later. I dont do too much on the 4th. I used to go to parties, and cookouts but It was always the same. I dont drink so I would watch everyone else get smashed by 6pm. When It was time to go watch the fireworks no one could go because they were drunk. I used to get mad. As I got older and had my own kids, I changed the tradition. We dont go too far because of the drunk drivers and such. I wanted to go to the beach but I dont have a car. Not having a vehicle stinks. So my plans for today are to give the dogs a bath, make a nice dinner for my family and maybe go take a walk up and see the fireworks. And You?....

I don't think that we are really doing anything. We have fireworks tonight, but our kids are with their other parents so I don't know if me and my husband will do it alone or not. I hope he will go.

It sounds to me like you are taking the safe route. Good or you. They have check points where I live looking for intoxicated drivers. Theay are very strict in the state of Missouri about drunk driving.

Oh, I almost forgot. I plan on touching up my hair color and doing a deep conditioning as well, then I will take a nap and about 930pm or later I will go to the gym.

There have been some years where we have chosen not to do anything. This year was going to be one of those years, but my sister invited us over to her house(about an hour away) for dinner and fireworks afterward. My husband is working today on his regular schedule(Tues-Sat), but we're hoping he will get off work early. We have to run some errands and stop by my brother-in-law's house on the way. If he got off early, it would help us get to the dinner early/at least on time!!! Hope you enjoy your weekend!

Fireworks here were last night and while I was going to go the traffic was so horrid would have had to walk a mile from the car to see them alone at night. Decided to just go home and pass for this year. Just home alone today, son gone to friends, don't know what the rest of my family is doing but catching up on things here.

I had to work today but got home about 530pm. Made a bbq with my kids then went in the pool. Then we watched a movie. Around 930 we went out front to watch some of the neighbors fireworks and then my daughter lit ours. Nothing much just the stuff that stays on the ground with showers. Happy 4th everyone!

Well, as I was growing up, my family and I would always go to this park in Long Beach, California and celebrate the 4th there with my father's family. Afterwards - at home - we'd watch fireworks from our street and every once in a while, we'd actually go to a show. Now that I moved and live kinda far from my family, it has been spent differently every year since the move. This year, I spent it with friends at their house. We had hot dogs and played with their Wii and it was a fun day. I got home just before it got dark and some neighbors have been setting off fireworks. I was watching them for a few minutes. I think they didn't like that because they threw one kind of in my direction. I sure didn't appreciate that! If they don't want other people watching them, then they shouldn't light them on a busy street!

I love hearing peoples stories of when they were growing up. We did alot of fun things too. My parents would usually rent a cottage for the month of July so we usually watched the fireworks from the beach on Cape Cod. It seems that the family has all went its separate ways and I am here forced to live thru my friends here at MyLot. Unfortunately We didnt do anything. Me and my daughters played games. To be honest we had a great time. It didnt turn out as bad as I thought. I thank you for sharing your day. However, your neighbors are freaks! How do they expect to keep fireworks personal. I swear no matter where you live, there are crack pot neighbors in every city, neighborhood, barrio, desert, commune etc. There's always one. FIll a paper bag with dog poop and light it on fire. RIng there door bell and watch them stomp it out. LOL Tell them they dont have to worry that is all for them. I am sick!!! LOL Happy 4th my friend. dl


myLot reputation of 93/100. Poison_Girl (3331)  3 years ago

LOL Nice idea, but unfortunately, I don't know where they live. They could live in any of the many complexes in the area. My guess is one of three that are right by me, including the one I live in. Oh well! Besides, what they did didn't make me leave. I still stuck around for a little bit after they threw the one in my direction. LOL I only went back inside once I felt satisfied enough with as many fireworks that I saw.

We did not have any plans for the 4th of July. My husband and I worked all night long. I painted inside of my house and we cooked out and that was it. We had to get back to bed so we could work again that night.


myLot reputation of 96/100. dloveli (1582)   ranked 110 out of 7,514 in enjoy life  3 years ago

We didnt do anything here either. Me and my daughters made dinner together and played cards. We did walk down to see the fireworks. They started over an hour later than they should've so we ended up going home before them. Oh well... dl

We had a big cook out and family over.
then we can watch the fire works from my back yard where they have them at the casino behind me.
Or we can go to the front yard and the neighbor do the fireworks and we can see some of the fire works from the strip.
