the only one who would rather sit here on LEIA instead of watching my neighbors shoot off fireworks? That's what the rest of my family is doing right now...

THIS IS MY 100TH POST!!!!!! *cheers*

im not in america, so i'm sitting at leia. i'm a proud canadian!!!

Our area has a stupid fireworks ban. :(
People are still testing the law though :P
I have to admit fireworks appeal to me more :P but we saw some yesterday though...

Me too. But I have to get off soon anyway. :(

Here I am in the computer room, which is the best spot for fireworks in my house, on LEIA.

*BOOM*

And there's 3 different things of fireworks going off. ...I think the finale is comming...

*KA-BOOM*

Best of both worlds then, Hey Inu!

I was working, so a co-worker and I stood outside and looked for fireworks. It was pathetic. :P

There's a fireworks ban in our area too, but my neighbors bought them on the way home from their vacation.
We're going to see actual (professional) fireworks tonight. And it just rained, so the ground will be wet. F-U-N!!!!

It rained here too. Our finale was cool. :) I wanted to light it but they wouldn't let me... :grouch: *mutters*

I went and watched it a bit (the proffessional ones) from my yard, but I decided to come back in and finish searching for my camera (there's a sale that's almost up). Since I live in SO Cali, I can understand the ban on residents using fireworks, but a friend of my brothers went out into the middle of the desert and did it anyway.

Why's there a ban? :s

they can start fires or hurt people.
the prof. fireworks got postponed 'cause of rain

Yeah, theres a ban here, except for the little kiddie sparklers and poppers....but everyone sets them off anyway:)

stupid virginia... fireworks are illegal here too unless they are professional. we went camping this weekend in the western part of the state and they sold them at walmart but the stupid campground wouldn't let us set them off... that was 50 bucks wasted...

We're so close to the PA border (where fireworks are legal) that we drive over and buy them and bring them into NY... we used to shoot them off all the time when I was younger, even after the cops told us to stop. :P You need a permit to legally use them, but we never had one...

I heard on TV that two children were injuried by fireworks. I didn't hear the whole story, but one boy lost his fingers, and I think his sister ended up with a whole in her stomach or something.


I'm glad they're illegal where I live (CA). Am I the only one who hasn't forgotten that big wildfire incident?

^ick. A girl on our news, she found an M80 in her dads car and lit it on fire, and as she was tossing it out the window it blew up. She lost her thumb and 2 fingers, and half of her hand.

:eek:That would be awful... You guys are spoiling the fun of living where you can shoot fireworks!!! ;)
