I actually slept through some this 4th of July. I remember hearing them in my sleep. I dreamed about them a bit, but did not try to wake myself up or anything. I guess I am bored by them.

I heard on the radio that a lot of PTSD folks posted signs outside near their residences requesting that others be respectful and conscientious concerning their use nearby. I was glad that so much consciousness was raised for those who get triggered or stressed by them.

The town I live in has a professional display of them every year on the 4th of July around 9PM. I can see them out of my window. I was kind of looking forward to seeing them as usual this year, but I was not particularly disappointed that we didn't have them this year. We've had too much rain this month, so the place where they normally blow them off was kind of flooded. They will announce in the paper when the "rain date" will be. They might hold them over until Labor Day or something.
 
I totally absolutely hate them with a vengeance , they trigger me so badly . Yet ironically as a child I loved them as I grew up in poverty and to have fireworks was a big thing . I avoid them at all costs . Unfortunately my boys are the same as i instilled my dear in them as they were growing up , unknown to them the reasons behind my hatred they too are scared of them. Also on a moral basis they literally are money going up in smoke!
 
Dogs agree, harm is on you. Run for the hills and find a burrow.
 
I voted I don't like them. However, there is an exception clauses on that vote. If I am using them or friends are that I can visually see using them I am able to deal with them better. That being said I have not been able to do that for a couple of years. So if I can see them or expecting to see them ok. It's the ones that I don't expect that set me off.
 
I don't like them, they don't trigger me, but I see no point to them. All they do is scare the wildlife and pollute the atmosphere.

They should be banned.
