Re: Random, Random 2.0
Melania has plenty of pictures all over the internet that show you everything you need to know about her. I don't get what their problem is.

I 'served' Alice Cooper once at a downtown Toronto restaurant I used to work at. He was in full get up as AC to go to a Comic Con fan thing. He never spoke to me, his minder ordered him a rigatoni bolgnese & diet coke. They ate and left

There is a police officer next to her and she presses the gas. That man falls under the wheels and he is dead.
Reckless endangerment, that how it is called, right?
(And I know what you mean about her being alive and well. I just can't find anything proper to say about THAT part).

Re: Random, Random 2.0
Are you guys hearing fireworks, bigger ones I mean, not some smalltime sparklers, in your neighborhood in a way you never have before or is that just a thing near me? Like it's gotten out of control. The township had fireworks yesterday and legitimately couldn't tell when they were starting exactly because of so many random people setting off their own very loud fireworks in their yard or whatever after night had fallen.
There were fireworks last year during the pandemic for sure, but not like the frequency I was hearing this weekend. But even then, this setting off your own fireworks at this rate feels like a new phenomenon, it was definitely not a thing for so many just a few years ago. Pretty sure a good deal of what I'm seeing and hearing are technically illegal, but I think it's very hard to determine where they are being set off from.

Re: Random, Random 2.0
Mortars, like the one that killed that young NHL player seem to be the thing this year. It's horrible. And you're right. It's very hard to tell where they're coming from.JazzNU wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 7:00 pm Are you guys hearing fireworks, bigger ones I mean, not some smalltime sparklers, in your neighborhood in a way you never have before or is that just a thing near me?

Re: Random, Random 2.0
Much more than in the past for sure, although I think I wasn't here on July 4 last year and it's only my fourth year in this area.

Re: Random, Random 2.0
Thanks for the replies. I didn't even know this bothered cats, but people with dogs have been sharing ideas on local radio to deal with the noise because it really freaks them out. There's something called a thunder jacket I guess? Not sure if such a thing exists for a cat, but something to look into if this continues to be a thing.

Re: Random, Random 2.0
They started early with the fireworks here. My daughter gave her cats calming treats as soon as it started.

It being the USA, I'd think that some of those sounds would be gunshots, as well.

They used to only do that at New Year's but now anything goes.

Push pill into mouth followed by large piece of steak filet. Be rough about it. Hold head vertically and pour 2 pints of water down throat to wash pill down.
