No, I think it is the server that performs the 'blipping' I've been blipped on some of my garden puzzles ... so need to adjust the wording I plan to design a quiet room for these occasions

oldbroad, not me! There is a censor in the software and a place we can add words to automatically censor also if we have a number of people trying to get around the censors by making a creative word. Sometimes I think some words need to be taken off the list, but then I think it's what lots of us old timers love about this place and keep it as is. soot Are you going to make a sound proof for fireworks?

We have very restrictive Fireworks laws here in BC and in our municipality, thank goodness. Basically you have to have a permit to set off any fireworks and the dates they can be used are also restricted. That way we only have them on Halloween and New Year's.
I really hate the idea that you're being bothered all the time. What is wrong with people? I just don't get it.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

soot Are you going to make a sound proof for fireworks? Short answer ... Yes. Want a sound proof room for just that reason. Was going to convert a kids bedroom but this must wait as all rooms are currently used. So currently researching different technologies and methods to see what's possible in our master bedroom. Happy New Year everyone

I live in an area where that kind of open burning is highly illegal at the State level at certain times of the year due to air quality. In city limits, it is generally illegal at all times. I enforced the Open Burning Regulations for nearly 20 years during my career.

When we lived in my old house, one of my brothers would use the barbecue right next to the house, which was not only dangerous, but would send the fumes straight up into my bedroom window. He was an alcoholic and so was hard to reason with at times. In this house, the neighbor on one side uses his barbecue quite close to his house and it is also quite close to my bedroom windows which has had me closing the windows at times. I don't mind the smell of the food cooking once the barbecue is going. I'm talking about the accelerant used when first firing up the barbecue. The other side of the house has yard area between our houses. The man that used to own that house had a car parked in that yard and would run it causing exhaust to fill my kitchen. We did speak with him and, if I recall correctly, he was understanding about it and stopped. Oh, and when the neighbor kids were young, they used to congregate with their friends on MY porch for some reason, and would smoke their dope out there. The smell and their noise filled my living room every day! They did much worse things to make us miserable but these are the "smell" things .

I have to laugh at us! Our threads just morph from one thing to another and I love it! This one started out as fireworks, moved to smells, [blipped] words and then to open burning and obnoxious neighbors!
We KNOW how to thoroughly cover a topic here! LOL!

I was loving it (morphing topics), it reminded me of a group of friends just sitting around chatting in the old world, pre-pandemic, when one topic leads to another and another and another........
I've been missing that !

Yep, gotta love the coffee klatch morphing.
I live in the south. If the weather is nice, some one feels duty bound to burn leaves, trash, or their yard. As far as I know, we don't have any restrictions in our area (small town), though one time I called the police as the smoke had obscured the street in front of our house it was so thick. I literally could not breath.

I developed severe asthma when we moved to our small town because our next-door neighbour had a wood-burning furnace that wasn't properly maintained (fortunately the house is gone and the furnace with it). All of a sudden I found that couldn't breathe properly. Even fireworks can set me off. There are some very real consequences of open fire burning for me and anyone else with lung problems.
I'm also on board with no perfume. I love perfume, and even have two life-long favourites, but I only wear them around the house these days. I hate it when someone leaves behind a billowing cloud of perfume, especially in an elevator.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

I too get asthma when exposed to burning leaves. I walk dogs in an unincorporated area that allows leaf burning and is very wooded so the smoke turns the whole area into a haze in fall. Not to mention it's very hilly so harder to walk. I dread it every year. Glad your neighbors house is gone!
