Just wanted to say that I am so sorry and thank you for sharing this. 

I’ve worked in law enforcement for 20 years. Sadly, many parents aren’t like you.  For what it is worth, great job. You took action immediately. This isn’t your fault, or hers.  I’m so sorry. 

Who are all of these people using tablets?  I mean, I would prefer a laptop or my phone.  What’s the tablet doing for you?

Wow.

I managed it quite easily.

You hold it horizontally away from you and don’t touch the hot part. It’s not that hard.

I mean... It isn’t like the fucking 4th of July is a surprise we keep it in the same place on the calander each year.. if you 12yr old dog is scared of fireworks (which I assume you know by the 11 previous 4th of July’s that happened before the dog became 12???? Then keep it inside / on leash for the 4th / 1 or 2 days…

These people would be lunch, Aliens pretty much live in cave systems and from what the 4th installment tought me; excellent swimmers. Even the second one was proof-positive the only trace left of you would be a blinky-eyed doll head.

I mean, I wouldn’t give a sparkler to a 4-year-old, but they were so fun to play with from ages 8-12. Maybe a little risky, but frankly, most of my favorite childhood memories are from doing “risky” things. Maybe instead of criticizing all parents who dare let their kids touch a sparkler, we can advocate for people…

Listen, I’m with you and that sounds like an amazing tradition, but I think the message is that people need to be more sensitive and responsible about fireworks. I’m of the mind that if people express a reasonable discomfort and it doesn’t hurt anyone else to abide by it, you should respect that discomfort. Don’t set…

Sue me: Fireworks are awesome. My boyfriend’s family lives on a river and each year the households contribute a few grand and put on this huge show. Everyone hosts parties at their homes and pontoons line up outside of the blast radius. It is a huge party with friends and family and plus, the kids get enough of a kick …

Are you seriously equating 7 minutes to heat up a gas grill to your admitted 20-25 fir a charcoal grill? You say you can’t understand the difference then proceed to describe the difference. Multi-task the wife preps sides while I guzzle beer and prep the the grill. I'm eating burger in 11 minutes while your still…

Would it make you feel better if I said that those women just wanted sex and the sandwiches were only a pretext?
Would it somehow seem less boastful if my story was that women wanted me so badly that they'd pretend to like a substandard sandwich?
Fuck you, I guess is my point.

YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
