And fireworks scare the shit outta me. Just thought I'd share. After spending a couple months in a "conflict area" I no longer am amused by the idea of making loud banging noises for fun.

My brother was deathly afraid of fireworks when he was little. I feel horrible now about how I laughed at his terror...

It is interesting, Fireworks in the US are to remember the battle for freedom, and a battle for freedom is what makes you not like fireworks...

Too many bangs coming from the other side.

Your book got moved with me. Its around here somewhere. I'm sorry I've been lax on getting it back to you :-(

Jelly Bean agrees with you. She gives this cute "Mommy make it stop look" when they boom.

60 some years later, my WW2 vet father still cannot deal with fireworks.

Two acquaintances of mine who ran the English Language school in Tirana, Albania had previously worked in Yemen during the civil war. Under fire, Shell Oil got them out with Shell’s employees, and they were brought to London, where their employers got them first row theater tickets…


…to Miss Saigon.

To hear them retell the story is very funny. It was not so funny at the time.

oof.....harsh.

did they appreciate the show?

did they even go?

[name-omitted.livejournal.com]

They did. They appriciated the tickets going into the theater. They then tried to crawl under their seats when the gunfire started.

After Israel/Palestine. Northern Ireland, and worst of all inner city Baltimore and the infamous sniper shootings I've been know to hit the ground.

Do you still go to fireworks displays? I'm thinking my days of that are over.

Ugh. The neighborhood kids are still at it in the park across the street. The cops have been by twice, and the kids are still going at it.

Well, I do. But I find a place on a nice hill away from the noise and enjoy the visuals.
