Freedom/uh-oh

America-->

Hope everyone had a safe and Happy 4th of July! We lit off some fireworks, had some good food, and went for a nice hike along the beach with the dog. Hopefully you all got to enjoy yourselves outside! Thanks to all of the veterans!


Masks At Work-->
We got to take our masks off at work today! We have been wearing them for 15 months...everyone is very happy. I have co-workers who I feel like I just met for the first time today because I have legit never seen their faces before until now. Are you all still wearing masks?

Personal-->
I was stubborn, non-understanding, AND judgmental (the big three) regarding something I didn't realize was important and I REALLY ticked off my girl. It was a dumb argument and I'm really embarrassed. She isn't "gone" but I have some major ground to make up for. Wish me luck! Today is a new day. All you have control over is now. The past is done (can't go back) but the future is yet to be. This weekend I learned a lot about communication as well as life. I hope everyone's home life was smoother than mine!
  • The 4th was fun for us. Went down to Galveston island with the fam. Only minor drama ensued (over potato salad LOL) But a pretty decent trip overall.

    glad you had fun! we want to go to texas soon. she went to university of houston and has a lot of friends down there still
  • I spent the weekend fishing with my dad in Northern Michigan. Didn't catch much but it was nice and relaxing.

    Can't offer any advice about the relationship. My personal life is like that Queen lyric: I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me. I cannot do the Fandango either and thunderbolt of lightning are very very frightening to me.Sunglasses

  • Went to my cousins house and lit off about $1000 in fireworks which was a lot of fun.

    Haven't had to wear a mask in quite some time. Happy about that.

    Personal life was a bit rough. My cousins boyfriend of 5 years proposed to my cousin and she said yes. I am very happy for them because they are great for each other. That being said, seeing it brought back memories of my wife and I. I have been an emotional wreck for the past 24+ hours.

    He is a great guy for her and his family has been friends with our family for 30+ years. We were honestly wondering how long it would take for them to decide to date.
  • The topic on this thread made me think fingers were gone.

    But we played Soapy slip & slide kick ball for the 4th. Twas a blast.

    Mask policy was lifted about 3 weeks ago and I got to meet everyone at work for the first time in 6 months. Really strange to essentially mentally develop an unknown face for someone and then finally see their face for the first time.

    As for the relationship. I wouldn't know what to tell you as my wife is also not happy with me either. But don't worry there is always room in the dog house and I brought snacks.
  • , They lifted the mask thing for us recently too. It IS odd to see some faces for the first time. I can be kinda slow to recall someone's name when greeting them. Having their faces change drastically doesn't make it easier.

    Sorry to hear that you got some personal drama out of the weekend. That does not make for a very restful weekend. Give it time. Hopefully that will heal over fast.

    My 4th was great. Lots of fun and food all weekend long. People really went crazy with the fireworks in my neighborhood this year! All three nights people were blasting them off constantly. Some were still going at 3am. I have no idea how some people can afford so many of them, they must get better deals than me. Saturday Night a fella had his face blown off when a mortar didn't go off and he decided to look down the tube... not good... dumb! It even made it on TV news. Somehow I slept through all the commotion. There hasn't been any more news on that, so I guess he's still alive. At any rate, no one was phased as Sunday night everyone doubled down on blasting off more.

    Come to Southeastern Michigan. They have firework tents and stores set up everywhere weeks prior. Most are "buy 1 get 4 free" , "buy a large bundle and get a small bundle free", and/or "for every $X.XX you buy, get $X.XX free". You walk in with $100.00 and walk out with enough explosives to get you on the ATF's watch list.
