Did I tell you about the time that my wee little ten-year-old self was so inspired by all the fancy chefs on the cooking channel toasting their spices that she wanted to try it herself?
Tossed red pepper flakes right into a ripping hot skillet over high heat.
Immediate smoke.
Carried it out, naturally lacked the forethought to hold the pan to the side, got a face full of spicy smoke. Throat didn't like that, sinuses didn't like that, eyes didn't like that.
Haven't toasted spices since.
I'm amazed that I'm even still allowed in the kitchen after that, the egg cookie incident, and the breakfast-in-bed cheerios-in-ranch catastrophe.
Among other things.
Maybe I typed too fast ... 😬
 
Our FW law is surprisingly restrictive, considering it's AZ. Nothing aerial, only ground fireworks are legal (sparklers count and are legal). Also restricted to the week up to 4th of July and the Christmas-New Year holiday.

Having said that, Stupid people shoot them off all the time. at least one night a week one of my idiot neighbors is launching large mortars. This is why I hate people. I'm all for fireworks and fun, but be responsible will ya?
Not surprising at all considering the wild fire risk
They’re illegal here. But not in PA. 😁
We go to PA every year to buy good ones. We can set them off in Ohio, just not buy decent ones
Anyone else's kids have zero sense of danger?

Sometimes this is good, but sometimes it's bloody aggravating. The boy is going on a outdoor trip tomorrow. Hiking through the woods, etc. Ticks are a reality. He won't wear long pants or long sleeves. And says the bug spray is unnecessary. Because according to him ticks take a long time to crawl up you and burrow into your skin and he'll be just fine and check himself. OK BUT USE THE FARCKING BUG SPRAY CHILD!

:he:he:he
That's exactly my son's perspective also
 
Please excuse my dirty nails... This is when I was doing chores this morning. These were the eggshell remnants I found that I assume belong to a turtle.
