If I could I would ban these stupid fireworks. I never did think of PTSD but now I recall my mom being shaken up by them and she would sit with me and we would talk and she would get angry about it. It just occurred to me (in my foggy brain) that my mom must have suffered from this as well since she hated thunderstorms. I have seen little kids hold these fireworks and think of them getting hurt plus my house on fire. Hate it!!Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-37166368436995272262015-05-22T23:28:58.939-04:002015-05-22T23:28:58.939-04:00I do sympathise.

All eleven major holidays are allowed, day before, day of, and day after. My son and girlfriend live in Austin and came up for the 4th last year. Said they would never come back for the holiday again. It was awful. No sleep for anyone. Just lots of loud noise. I am not talking about the 'bombs bursting in air' variety.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045554938847356871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-82690696356068243882015-05-22T18:44:38.861-04:002015-05-22T18:44:38.861-04:00Well, I actually enjoy fireworks, but here in Texa...Well, I actually enjoy fireworks, but here in Texas we only get access to them twice a year. For two weeks around Christmas/New Year's and then about two weeks around the 4th of July. And no one is allowed to shoot them off inside of city limits. <br /><a href="http://lifefaithincaneyhead.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Life & Faith in Caneyhead</a>.Barbara In Caneyheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053601327400989802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-45360425315081752062015-05-22T17:54:37.266-04:002015-05-22T17:54:37.266-04:00All the houses around here have wood siding.

Never thought about vets with PTSD. It did occur to me, if you let off fireworks in your yard it might discourage the deer.

It's horrible for them, but banning fireworks seems pretty impossible with everyplace selling them and everyone buying them.
