Oh, and Gina? Apparently we had some contenders for the Darwin Awards in our neighborhood last night. My friend had a cluster of neighbors out enjoying the evening in front of their house, setting off fireworks the families had all bought separately but brought to share. She lives near a house that has an uncontrolled teenager, and he and his bad news friends hang out there often. (The parents are too scared of the kids to do anything about them.) :sad2:

Anyway, she said these teenagers were there last night and had roman candles and bottle rockets and were shooting them at each other. One of the male neighbors who has young children playing outside marched over at them and told them to knock it off or he was calling the cops. So they quit until this group of neighbors all went indoors, then they started up again in front of the neighbor's house, shooting them at each other and flying toward houses. Idiots! :sad2:
but was he armed with a hose???:lmao: :lmao:
 
Great...its dark, the idiots down the street have restocked the ammo....I just talked to DH and told him so he is leaving work now...(just a little early)....he says he isn't putting up with it tonight from them....beautiful...and my neighbor next door is out with beer in hand waiting for DH....(he must have called him....) we are all pooped from last night...and were just going to visit for a while with one another....here we go...

Well it's 60'ish and raining today, so not many crazy fireworks people running around here. No need to use a hose on the crazy neighbors, it's been raining all day!
 

I didn't make a big deal of covering up either-- and really, the covers and the blankets just shout out LOOK I'M BREASTFEEDING OVER HERE! :lmao: :lmao:

Besides, it's American culture that breasts are such a sex object. Not so in other parts of the world.
I beg to differ with you! Breasts are a big deal all over the world, not just in America!!!
A man is a man, is a man!!!
And I happen to know, that when women breast feed in public, and are not very modest about it, it does make people uncomfortable. I breast fed my babies till almost 2 years, so it's not like I'm in the dark about this. If the breast is hanging out in public, people don't know where to look. So then you put them on the spot. I did breast feed in public, but was as discreet as I could be.

OK................nuff said about my opinion.:upsidedow
 
Hi guys I'm in the middle of a rampage and a war against my closet.

I finally got so disgusted with sorting through the clothes I cant fit into to find the few that I can wear that I just snapped tonight. Yep I SNAPPED!

I grabbed a huge industrial size trash bag that Jeff brings home from his restaurant (so we are not talking tall kitchen bags here) and started throwing all my clothes into that I cant fit into anymore.

Jeff came in after I had filled 3 yes 3 of them and said that I need to keep them so when I lose weight then I can wear them again. Its not like I'm holding onto size 2 clothing. They are just 2 sizes smaller than I am not so its easily (not so easily) an obtainable goal right?

Well, I'm sick of them. When I do get back down to that size I want to buy NEW clothes. Not wear faded old t-shirts from 3 years ago. UGH. I kept my favs that were in great condition but when I get back to the size I would like to be I'm going on a shopping spree.

I feel like this huge weight has been lifted off me by doing this. Isnt it strange. I guess decluttering is good for the soul.
 
Hello my sisters, do I have things to tell you about last night.......

The day started out just like any other 4th of July...out back talking with neighbors at the fence...where we discuss who, what , when, and where...

Every year this neighborhood likes to blast all the illegal fireworks you can get a persons hand on..and we have not really had any problems because its a street party....

We were all kinda miffed because it was rainy and to chilly to get in the pool...blah, blah, blah.....So I decided that it might be fun that night to head up the road and get caught up in the mess to watch the fireworks in town and then watch them from home since this year (I am sad to say) we did not set off our usual amount of fireworks because DH had to work and wasn't getting home till 10:30...no biggie right???



WRONG



Until firework time my MIL wanted my DD to help clean her basement with the promise of a shiny new Ipod she pulled out of her purse she had purchased that morning...Ahhhh....what a payment you say....so true....but it was also hush money..:lmao:

Since my SIL is the worlds worst pack rat and still lives at home everything she has ever owned since birth is stacked in the basement for the ONE DAY I WILL MOVE OUT dream...(Yeah, ok) and in her bedroom..if you have any imagination when I say her room is so bad you can't open the door all the way..you can get it to a 45 degree angle and that is it..then you dive to the bed that has a space big enough for a body...(she is 28-28 I can't remember this second)

Anyway my MIL has had it with it in the basement...so she employed my DD to help organize , throw trash, and be the look out...She had a good thing going until my MIL (who is the worlds worst liar) decided to call my SIL and get a location and an estimate of how long she would be gone...DING,,,DING,,,DING

When MIL called SIL she first ask where are you and when will you be home..sounds ok...then she was "oh,,,ummm I was just wondering I was thinking I may order some pizza and *****(DD)*** and Gina are here...(great involve the delivery person...all I did was show up to drop off DD so that she could bribe my kid)....she then says oh maybe we will just go to the mall...while my DD screams from across the room....WHAT ABOUT THIS BOX GRANDMA.... MIL quickly hangs up the phone and picks it back up and calls her 10 seconds later ::yes:: "uh listen we are not doing pizza we are going to drop the kid off and go to the casino"....:lmao: yea ok....anyone who knows me knows I don't miss my street party...DING DING I look at my MIL and ask..where is she..she tells me ..oh well if I were you I would just put up these items here and call it a night because you just gave yourself up and she will be here in 30 mins...

30 mins later guess who arrives and comes swooping in straight to the basement....:lmao: DUH...the fight was on....I am trying to break up the fight and I finally just yell at them..."Ya know what...kill each other...I don't care....you are making me late for my parties and I have to get ready"...they stop for a second look at me as if HOW DARE YOU...and I look back and say "YOU HEARD ME GO AHEAD JUST DO IT"

I tell my DD to get her things its time to go that I don't want for us to witness this...they continue on with the fight....

SOOOOOOOOOOO, on to town we go....We barely make it...and I was able to pull over in a parking spot that looked to be saved just for me....we watch and head home for the rest of the block party....

Now let me tell you I am all for big BOOMS on the 4th of July....and so are my neighbors....we all line up our chairs out front and drag our cooler of adult beverages with us...life is good....

WE FORGOT ABOUT THE NEW HILLBILLIES THAT MOVED IN A FEW MONTHS AGO 5 HOUSES DOWN...

The hillbillies had the music up so loud that we all turned ours off...and it was ok , heck save on our electric...they were playing our music so why not...they have people running all over their home...5 year olds playing with matches and bottle rockets, roman candles and firecrackers...(I AM NOT KIDDING....2 OF THE KIDS ARE 5).....

The 5 year olds are shooting them at each other, sending them up the sidewalk at us....we had a row of chairs on my part of sidewalk and driveway and all our mouths were open.....it would have taken a dozer to collect them..

A min or two later we hear "mamma (please use ky lingo when saying that it just sounds better) he is trying to shoot that stick at me.....we all look down again to see who is doing what....out comes big mamma...we are hoping mamma is going to give someone a one two, nope its "if you don't knock it off I am gonna take yurs and give them to yur brother"..OK

again we are all...OMG...and thats with beer in us.......

So we are all sitting in my driveway and its you gonna call, no I am not gonna call I did it last weekend and they know I did and now when they drive by I get the hand salute...I'm not going to call...why don't you call Gina..its your house we are all at....oh, ok ,,,,sure I will,,,,like I want my house egged tonight....besides the LAST 3 TIMES I CALLED THEY SAID WE WERE ALL LIARS...(they must have a scanner going because they always quit when we call the cops and resume when they leave )

I sit and think how can we get the police here without them knowing...at that point those big cannon shots came at us...we all jump....thats it, now I am ticked.....what can I do....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....think, think, think,,,,while I am cleaning my scraped knee from jumping out of the way and falling....(which down the street thought was funny,,,,)

I know, I will go across main road, there is a cop that lives there..so I do...he isn't home...I can't drive I have been drinking so now what...while I was gone my neighbors are getting out their hoses (hey, they are semi thinking)....thats when it happened...

I sit back down and tell everyone that the cop isn't home and now what....we are talking and watching the fireworks...they go on here until around 1-2 am....its big here....(come on its Ky...we don't know anybetter remember...fire...illegal fireworks....beer....) the kids walk part way up the street and start shooting fireworks AT US....at this point I am so mad that I am thinking if I wasn't afraid of serving time I would roll that older kid in plastic and dump him on 75.....but....(think I will get points for that...I may have to edit that).....they are hitting my house, and I am ready to lose my mind....

Thats when the men of our group went and got hoses put together to make 300 ft.of hose and walked down and waited on the kids to come back with more....

Everytime those kids came at us they would squirt their fireworks and ruin them....people don't make the parents of a hillbilly mad...its not pretty...

MAMMA , MAMMA, THAT MAN IS SQUIRTING OUR FIREWORKS...

Every hick at their house came running out front...we were in our driveway...laughing because we know its now a show down.......

Fireworks are shooting, hoses are squirting and words are flying....AND I AM DYING.....ahhhh,,,I see a way to get the cops here, I pick up my neighbors cell phone and call the cops,,,,he is down the road with his hose...(I wasn't using my phone..duh...911 calls are public record I think)

I call the police...they don't know because all the idiots are are outside...they couldn't hear a scanner....at this point people from the other street that go to their back yards to watch are hopping the fence just incase we need some muscle ya know....(mental note...turn on security cameras tonight...yes I have them on my cars....seems as though a few years ago someone thought it would be funny to keep egging my cars so we put them up to record and catch the punk....)

The police come,,,,and it was a free for all....because he didn't SEE the fireworks being shot at us he couldn't do anything and the hillbillies wanted my neighbor arrested for assult...yes from the water hose...At that second I am dying.....when I heard that it was something....are you kidding me...good thing the police are sick of going to that house....he came up to us...and I am laughing so hard I am crying...I have gone pee in my pants I was laughing so hard....he is like I tell you what....look,,,I know everyone back here has these fireworks....I don't care ....but don't let me see you shooting them...I will be back here in 15 mins to check on all of you....THANKS FOR THE WARNING.....so he leaves we are all cracking up


15 mins go by ... the dad that lives in the hillbilly house decides he is going to hop on his mower and drive up and down the street to tick us all off...

NEVER FEAR THE COPS ARE HERE...He was arrested for a DUI....:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

I am not sure but a few neighbors are going to the owner of the house to tell them that her renters are damaging this and that ... I doubt they do anything for them but it was a night...

HOW WAS YOURS
:faint: :faint: :faint:

Holy Mackeral!! What a night!!

It actually sounds like movie!!! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Um.....................my 4th was quite uneventful to say the least. Dave and I were vegetating at the hotel, and too lazy to go anywhere.

I love to clean closets out! It's a hobby of mine and it feels oh so good to get rid of that stuff that doesn't fit!:thumbsup2

Sounds like good medicine to me. Purge that closet!!! :hyper:

And when you have lost the weight, you deserve that wonderful shopping trip!! :yay: :yay: :yay:
 
Thanks ladies. Dh sees it as throwing money out the window.

:sad1: :sad1: :sad1:

No I see this as motivation to lose the weight and go shopping. :cool1:
 
So here's my opinion on breast feeding in public:

Prior to breast cancer - made me a bit uncomfortable, but I understand that it is best for baby, so I figured it was my mental problem to deal with.

After breast cancer - who cares! My breasts have been seen by literally hundreds of strangers. I could walk down the middle of the street with bare breasts and see hundreds of women sitting around bare breasted and/or breast feeding their babies and I would not be in the least bit uncomfortable.

I don't know about your DH, but I don't take clothing and fashion advice from a man that wears underwear until they literally fall apart, socks that have no elastic left in them, and still has a t-shirt from the first concert he ever attended (and thinks it's still nice enough to wear out to dinner)!
 
Good evening hyenas! Just a quick hello before my bf and I head out for dinner. We went to DL today. I was a bit nervous of having to deal with horrid crowds but surprisingly, it was not that bad. It was actually pretty calm. It was still busy but not horribly busy.

We didn't get to park hop. We were just exhausted and decided to head home. It was really hot but we brought our myster that we had purchased months ago from Walmart. That thing saved us from the heat! We filled it up with water from the first aid on main street. We got to the park around 9:30am-10am.

We went on Buzz Lightyear and we didn't get stuck on that ride this time. :rotfl: I beat my bf's score! I got 284,100!! Woot! The only bad part was that our picture didn't come out :(


Okay, time to go. TTYL. I hope you guys all had a great 4th of July. :grouphug:

Went to a garage sale at the VFW on the coast near my in-laws house. They had every Disney VCR movie you could think of for $2.50. My MIL said they have the garage sale almost every holiday. So if anyone is missing an obscure Disney movie from their collection and want's something let me know and I'll get it the next time. We had somewhere over the years lost The Black Cauldron and The Little Mermaid, so we replaced those.

Maybe you wouldn't because of what you have gone through, and that is very understandable. But there are men out there who would be. They'd try to be the gentleman, and not look, but then wouldn't know where to look. That would be Dave. You see what I mean? I believe we need to be sensitive to other's feelings, even if it is not our own.
