HAHA! Enjoy it guys. We're a weird *** country, and we're very "Special" in a sense. I know no country so generous yet so hated across the world. If there is something we can be proud about is that we are truly a FREE country. I just wish our troops were h. Let us know what you guys are doing today or if you're reading this after the 4th, what you did. Enjoy and once again, Happy Independance Day. It was 331 years ago today that we beat the snots out of the brits and declared ourselves FREE!

 

Yeah what a bunch of poo....whoops forgot we have some brits on this site! Were going over to my wife's grandparents house where I'm going to be installing some car audio...eat some cheeseburgers and hot dogs...play some catch with the baseballs and foot ball...and by football I mean a real american Pigskin...so what if its made in china!

Was 102 F here in southern California (that's 39 C to the rest of the world other than us and the Brits)....too hot to fire up charcoal and stand over it.

Took my 2 year old boy to the movie theater to see Ratatouille, stopped and got some chinese carry out...gonna drive our Yukon up the hill behind our house later and watch fireworks from 3 towns.

Jim being Jim gotta love it!

Man socal hope you hang around here...sure we'd all like you to stay in the forum...especially after we seem to be losing some good people every now and than...

 

I had a great 4th of July, NOT!

Spent all day Tuesday the 3rd preparing for IT and then when the day arrived heavily sedated some old guy stuck a camera up my ****.

No I'm not joking, my dad died at 42 from Bowel cancer and ever 5yrs I have to be screened and that day, was yesterday.

Happy 4th of July guys and kiss my ........

 

Sorry to hear that Debbie. If it makes you feel any better, I did that last week, at age 33. My Dad was diagnosed at 49 with Stage 3 colon cancer, my grandmother on my mom's side was diagnosed with Stage 1 at 48 (puts me in the +20% category). Luckily, they're both cancer free..but after surgeries and chemotherapy. My dad spent 2 years in treatment and will never be the same.

Think of it as a celebration. One more romantic visit with your GI to know you're good for another 5 years! I'll be back there in 5 also. A clean bill of health is worth some fireworks!

 

Here in Chicago we celebrate Independence Day on the 3rd of July for some reason.
Chillin on a boat eating fried chicken and watching fireworks. It's all good.

I slept all thru the 4th cuz we get the day off work

 

I grew up in suburbs of Chicago til I was 13....then worked downtown for 3 years when I was in my early 20's. We always celebrated on the 4th???? Maybe its just your neighborhood.?
The boat, chicken, and fireworks, sound good nonetheless!

 

Everyone knows the 4th of july is on the 4th hear, and we have the day off. But the navy pier fireworks on always on the 3rd of July, always. Millions of people flock downtown, mostly after work but alot of people start picknicking mid day. Literally half the city spends hours on the lake front, and it is bumper to bumper traffic. And at like 11 pm on July 3rd a bunch of CTA trains just locked up and powered off for ovre an hour, and over 10,000 people were trapped on the trains. That shows you the type of celebrating that goes on here on july 3rd

 

[sm=imsorry.gif]Debs hun......that musta been a real pain in th........[sm=oopssign.gif]

Seriously though.......As long as you get your clean bill of........thats what matters.

Ahh...I never celebrated downtown. Always in the burbs. Good to know for future visits.

Like St. Patty's day in Chicago...there's always the big commercial parade on the Sunday before, but the real South Side parade is on St. Patty's no matter what. That's the only one I've ever been to....freezing my **** off with my drinking glove on one hand and the 12er in the other! LOL
Good ol' Chi-Town!
