Many more sirens out at the campgrounds this weekend than in past years. Everyone was setting off those damned chinese lanterns. Saw 5-6 within a 10 minute span fail very quickly. Luckily the area had a lot of rain this year.
Most though seemed to end up in the lake!

What I know is if you are over the age of 20 or married w/ kids an still playing with fireworks ...... You need a life and you need your ass kick for being immature. Get off your ass , and accomplish something you can see when completed.
hope this helps...

Didnt stop people at the campground this weekend.
Matter of fact, people were doing in right in front of the park ranger. Was odd to see so many fail so quickly..not sure I had seen that before. I bet they start cracking down on them though.

You can spend your time with kids playing video games together you old fart.

Really? What the value of what they may learn?
How to kill but not get killed not really reality of what happens, how to move around on a screen but can play pitch or catch for shit, build fort but clueless of tools required to build anything in the real world, lets not forget structure stress analysis because everything built in the fantasy world stay up.
Went my girls were young we bought a Nintendo set for them after 3 months the addiction of playing for all of the family including me was over the top. I stayed up till 4 in the morning play Lolo level six I think. I realized this is not quality time nor was it health for anyone.
I was involved in early development of CAD for Mac II, HP and Autodesk…. I thought video game was a great step for the CAD development. I was wrong, it hinder the user. Because they did have the basic understanding of line weights, grids and drawing skills… if it doesn’t have a color they could read the drawing nor want they where creating. Today tool and die shops suffer from this video game color graphic problem. Good new is that over time more higher end developed program ( Rivet) will weed out the less technical applied individual …

What the fuck does that have to do with anything you have said? You said video game users should have their ass kicked because it doesn't add value to your life. But yet fireworks does? Fireworks are just as childish if not more childish than video games. I don't give a shit what your family did back when you bought a Nintendo, but your all high and mighty attitude is nothing but hypocrisy.

Also, video games help tremendously. Here's one example.

So, once again, your bullshit attitude that everything you do is the correct way is nothing but hypocritical ass spewing on a message board. Chinese lanterns? Talk about growing the fuck up belly.

how does a special education teach or one time student studying special education EMR be so fully of hate and hostility ....
I should have figure you would have looked into your educational background for some type of reference... Extreme case is not the norm...

you post durning the day so you have a shift type career... Did get that education degree job... That will create hate and anger ...
After graduating from college I created a EMR program that is still used in the school system....kids are great when you challenge them with mental and physical applications.

He has quite a bit of anger he takes out on people on the OC.

I bet he even has a dog that he kicks every time he comes home.

No, you just are too dumb to understand on this site. I have no idea what you are trying to convey because your typing/grammar is awful.

now you moved into name calling .... classic reaction to try a lower others to your emotional level of rejection... bro I'm here to help you if need support, others on the OC will also be supporting that want people do. we may disagree but we are also respectful of those that are hurting...

He does need some sort of intervention to deal with his anger issues. Dude is always going off on some rage and belittling everyone. I hope one day he can emerge from that anger and make some well needed improvements in his life and find some sort of happiness.

If it's the same god that taught you to hate blacks and act like you are above others all while being grammar retarded on a message board, I'm good belly.

But in that same breathe, there is always classes and teachings that will help you in your quest to not come across like a rambling dumb hick who can't type to save his life. Maybe check that out before you go "all my god is the best he helps save" bullshit you spew on here.

No no we did't shoot off fire works this year I bought $60.00 worth of kids items, snakes, smoke bombs, snapper, poppers for the kids to enjoy OUTSIDE as we adults over seen the activities of sharing, socializing and understanding the rule for safety and hot things, the lanterns were from years ago.
Last year the kids enjoys building them, writing on them and attaching messages plus watching them fly in the night sky.

You ask if shooting off fireworks is quality time but then you gave the example of recreation activities. Should you not of keep to the question of quality time?

Recreation activities..... by definition you are correct

Define quality time .... please?
