Fireworks are bad because they scare dogs and cats and probably other wildlife

HOWEVER

They are rather epic because they trigger PTSD flashbacks in military veterans

What sayeth the wise minds of GBS .. Fireworks: Win or Fail ?

Not fun when people are setting them off outside your window until midnight or longer on July 4th and New Year’s.

Why walk when you can ride?
My neighbors have been setting off firecrackers for at least 9 hours and I cannot figure out how they aren't bored with it. Its a loud thing with a tiny bit of sparkly, its about as entertaining as a set of jingly loving keys how is this entertaining for more than like 20 min? (drugs probably) Luckily the cats don't seem to care other than being grumpy when a really loud one wakes them up.

Did quiet colorful ones because of the new puppy. But the rednecks next door went full mortar and she was unfazed by the sound so next year it’s full Fallujah.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

My kids went to bed around 9 and I'm sitting here watching the 2002 classic, The Transporter while my dog lies on the love seat giving zero shits about the 100s of mortars that have been going off since about 6pm. Every once in a while, I check the neighborhood Facebook page for the "muh dog/children" and "I'm a very important person who needs sleep" posts for a sensible chuckle.

Here he is giving zero shits:
