Just wondering
#1
Absolutely nothing. I’m not going to pretend that there is anything about this dystopian hell of a country to celebrate.

Sitting on my couch browsing Bored Panda!

Comforting my poor dogs

I will be shooting fireworks and hanging with my family, but not because I love America. I cannot love a country where children are forced to carry fetuses to full term but the government cannot ensure that they don’t get shot dead in their elementary schools, where it’s still legal to kill gay people, and trans people are marked as predators even when they’re literal children.
I will be shooting fireworks with my family because I love my family and I love fireworks. I would rather live somewhere else.

Celebrating the 29th anniversary of my 29th birthday.

Bbqing then blasting the ac and TV volume to help drown out fireworks so my dogs don’t go nuts. One barks insanely and tries to get outside to “catch the intruder” while the other shakes and stares at me like “why is my brother insane? He’s scaring me and those loud sounds don’t help”
#7
Hiding in my bathroom trying to calm my old dog down. She’s like 16 and claws at me a bit but I love her and it gives me something to do other then sit in bed awake and not doing anything so.
#8
Doing what all the pets are doing: hiding in dark closets, stress eating and jumping at loud noises :D
#9
Nothing not celebrating in this heck hole
#10
Drinking beer, marinating fish for tacos for dinner tomorrow and hoping the fireworks don’t totally send me over the edge this year! ( I’m a veteran. For those who don’t know, fireworks sound like IEDs and gun fire)
#11
Lighting fireworks and having friends over, I personally don’t really think there’s anything to celebrate this year but my parents are happy with everything going on and since I’m a minor who lives with them there’s not much I can do :/

Our 3 season porch has been filled for the past 4 years with extra furniture that we finally were able to get rid of in the past 3 weeks. The room was dirty, gross, unable to clean it, the cats would go out there and watch the birds, shed, hang out, and use the boxes for shredding, etc. But there wasn’t space for us. (I wish I could add pictures!) It looked like a hoarder’s house. Completely full, we couldn’t even get from one end to the other.
2 weeks ago we rented a cargo van, and moved out most of the furniture. Today we emptied the rest of the stuff into the back yard. Stripped the carpet from the foundation wall where the rubber glue had deteriorated, found bird seed, mouse droppings, a mouse long left to meet her maker, and scraped and scraped…. and then swept. And swept. And swept.
And the brought the 40 year old Electrolux vacuum out and filled 5 bags. Washed the chairs, the porch table, the coffee table, washed the windows, wiped down the glider, the side tables, threw out 40 gallons of trash (not garbage, but stuff we’d never use again. We’re not low life, people!).
Now we have our beautiful 3 season porch back! Our place to have our morning coffee with the newspaper, to watch thunderstorms roll over from, our place to eat barbeque without the flies all over us. It took 5 hours of hard HARD work. But it’s back.
#21
Worst fourth ever. I’m just getting over passing a kidney stone, hubby’s sciatica has cranked up to a nine, and our Dachshund Ruger is throwing up all over.
#22
Watching “The Sandlot” because it is the BEST movie to watch on America’s birthday.
#23
Pajama day. Watering my orchids. Watching Teevee and pretty much that’s it, besides endless snacking.
#24
Stayin in Canada away from the gun nuts.

Playing Splatoon 2 on my couch.

I am being super vigilant regarding burning embers. My neighbor two houses up the street has been shooting fireworks off for three days now. The houses are rather close to one another in this neighborhood. The fella shoots those things up in the air and has no control of where the embers or burning specks go. Two years ago another neighbor had damage to a car from the junk that fell down from the fireworks. Another neighbor is afraid to complain because he has been known to shoot the stuff towards others houses. The fella buys them every year and shoots them off from the beginning of July through August (he buys sooooo many). I used to enjoy firework shows, but hearing artillery two houses away and worrying about my house catching fire has sort of turned me against fireworks.

I spent time in a more liberal state today and it showed me a more pleseant (less discriminatory) part of the country.
#28
Absolutely nothing, 4th of July means nothing at all here in the UK.
#29
Travelling to Williamsburg

Celebrating Youth Day and getting overwhelmed with hw
#34
I am currently trying to sleep while fireworks go off in the city, they are so loud, I wish I could send a recording on this
#35
Not celebrating “independence” as there is less and less of that in this country.
#36
Being thankful I feel safe and don’t live in the USA
#37
Partying with a local rock band at a great venue on a lake. Just drinking Jamo and beers with friends and saying FK all!
#38
Nothing. I live in Canada
#39
Nothing. It’s a normal day for about 95,8% of us.
#40
Annoying conservatives and boomers. Its what I do best.
#41
Sitting on the toilet, avoiding family and scrolling BP
#42
By the number of fireworks that have been shot over the past 4 days, it appears people have plenty of disposable income. I am not one of those people. Never have been.
#43
Playing fortnite
#44
JAWS Movie marathon! Same thing I’ve done every year since declaring independence from the forced family patriotic stuff (parades fireworks etc).
#45
Nothing, because both my parents have covid.
#46
i didn’t celebrate it. there’s no “independence” to celebrate anyway, so what’s the point of the holiday anymore?
#47
Same as we do every 4th, Pinky: burn an American flag
