Yet Another Thing NobodysHome Doesn't Understand:
So, more power to her and her self-confidence and her ability to walk around in 44˚F weather with bare legs in that thing, except...
...I was walking behind her and her friend on the way back to the venue to haul more stuff back to storage and I overheard her say, "Yeah, I can't do that in this skirt because I end up flashing my panties to everyone. I hate that."
And it's like, "Er... add 4 inches of fabric like a normal person and don't worry about flashing people?"
I understand that many people who've got it really want to flaunt it. I'm totally OK with that. But when they flaunt it and then complain that they're flaunting too much, it's like, "Er, really?"

A few years back they blew up our mailbox. Our in wall mailbox. With some very illegal piece of fireworks. It blew a hole in the wall and part of the mailbox flew trough the livingroom after bouncing off the couch. Id been sitting on the couch just half an hour earlier, and if I hadnt gotten up after finishing watching an episide (and had continued to watch another episode), I would have been seriously hurt.
So now that its getting closer to the end of year, there are more and more loud bangs outside.
And it stresses me out. A lot.
Oh, wow! I haven't seen fireworks go that off since Lithuania, and even then nothing quite that intense happened!
(In our case, it was a spinner disc flaring with fire that arced around the apartment building, aimed for my head, bounced off the brick wall when I ducked under it - I was between twelve and fifteen -, and continued back arcing around the building.)
But, no, that's insane, Woran, and has to be illegal. Is there any recourse for having your mailbox vandalized like that?
We reported it to the police. But I dont think they ever caught anyone. And yes, it was illegal fireworkds.
Here is some pics.

UGG. I’m so sorry. People that inconsiderate and dangerously negligent or just… Incredibly frustrating.

I can only imagine its either people being dicks, or people being insecure about the size of their dick.

I mean, we were even lucky they picked our house. Futher down the road, houses have been divided up. So people live upstairs, and another set of people downstairs.
In the divided houses, part of the living room is converted to a small bedroom. This is mostly a children's bedroom (as you couldnt fit a double bed in it).
Our neighbor two doors down, who lives in a divided house showed up with the noise, and when he realized it could have been his house, blowing up in the chamber where his kid sleeps, he went white as a sheet and had to sit down on the planter outside as his legs gave out temporarily.
So yeah. I'm slightly traumatized but insurance payed out and now I hate fireworks with a passion.
But it could have ended in tradgidy.

This is beyond the pale. This tragedy could have ended in manslaughter of children. Unacceptable. That's mild language, but it's what I have. Is there any other legal recourse? For your neighbor, even?

He had that mailbox filled up by the landlord and has an external mailbox now. So no chance of it happening again.
We also have an external mailbox now.

Woran- Glad that your OK, and that you have it 'fixed' where such a thing cannot happen to you again.
While I would never WISH harm upon another human being, I would say that you probably won't have to worry about that happening again too much.
- Karma has a way of making what goes around come around, and let's just say, they give out Darwin awards for a reason,... ;P
Seriously, glad you and yours are alright. :)

For the sports obsessed:
Get them a biography of Lou Gehrig with appurtenant discussion of ALS.
A copy of Michael Vick's dog fighting trial with full description of the conditions in which he kept the dogs.
A copy of the medical reports on the study of football players' brains and how concussions are the debul.
The book about the corrupt NBA referee who wagered on games/helped organized crime fix games.
These will still be on topic for them, but also satisfy your moral indignation.
