@rivernewstc@AngryBlackLady@dunnclan I read this and thought "I dare you to think our "Beware of Dog", "Our Dogs Are Contained By A PetSafe Fence And Roam Freely," and "Don't Enter Without Owner Present" signs are a sign of us being an easy mark rather than trying to keep THEM safe. https://t.co/v77yhTekMy
@alicewetterlund Only *a* holiday?
I can think of at least four where people are setting off their own now, sometimes for days before and after the actual holiday. ๐คฌ
The crackly ones they can handle, but the big house-shaking booms make them want to crawl in my pockets.
@BeTheChange800 The hub's friend's family does a massive private show. I told him they were being really irresponsible with how dry it's been. "They're doing it on their own land, with mowed grass. It's not a danger."
Yeah, sure, because airborne flaming debris NEVER lands where it's not wanted.
@AngryBlackLady@WatTylerRising I thought Blue Sky was bad because of the TOS "We own everything and anything you post forever and always" and other fuckery and now I'm so confused on where to go. ๐ฉ๐ญ
@AngryBlackLady About 8 years ago my oldest kid and one of their friends were on the "Coconut oil is the only personal hygiene product you need" kick. Stinky ass? "Wash" with๐ฅฅoil. Don't like antiperspirant? Thin film of๐ฅฅoil.
Not COVID nose blindness. Not a medical condition. Chose to stink.
@ahappything@AngryBlackLady Same. About 20 years worth. The plan HAD been to sell the land as commercial property and tear down the house. We changed our minds 3 weeks ago. A pallet of heat pumps was delivered yesterday. Upgraded the circuit breakers Monday. Windows are next and then boiler/water heater. ๐ฌ
@ChristinePThoma When I was searching for it, the generic name was ripcord (not to be confused with ripstop. That was parachute pants territory). Toughcord was Sears' brand name. Does that sound more like what you remember?
