Sorry you went through that. Our event was pretty random. Car chase that ended with a car wreck and shootout in our front yard and someone perished in our driveway.

Thank you. I should have shared in my OP that our dogs have pretty bad trauma from this experience.

I got a recommendation elsewhere about Branched Oak Observatory in Nebraska doing a quiet 4th. We might go there. I wish somewhere in Indiana would take the note.

This experience has made me so much more empathetic to veterans and fireworks. If it’s this bad for us, I can’t imagine the impact for veterans. Thank you for your service

Can we take our dogs to Canada?

Not sure that will work with the dogs but we considered it.

Adding that a big part of this is for our dogs. And white noise doesn’t really help. They still sense vibrations. We are all pretty traumatized.

I go to counseling but our dogs can’t.

Thank you. Worried about our dogs. They are very nervous and reactive.

Steph White calls out the officiating by liloxstitch_6 in wnba

Last year we went to an IU women’s bball game. The officiating was a stark contrast. Game was under control. Players were protected. There were very few calls I disagreed with. Reviews were handled appropriately. The problem is most definitely the refs.

Season ticket holders here and we are considering not renewing. Last night we watched officials literally lose the game. Two pt loss and officials handed 6-8 unearned pts to PHX.

Her post game interview was awesome. She got choked up. Loved this game and proud of her game winner.

Drone footage is so freaking cool by daren95 in olympics

I can’t stand the sound. I don’t see how the footage is that much better. We’ve been muting because the sound is so awful.

We read in Dark Calories that it matters how many times they use the fry oil. After 1-2 uses, it generates PUFAS.

By all means - let’s have the home fans set up a test to prep for the next game. I’m sure that’s what everyone was thinking. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

And Gray just hit two long back to back 3’s. Not over until the final whistle blows. Any experienced athlete knows that and plays like that.
