Fireworks and Your Delicate Ears
I'm ready to celebrate the Fourth of July, but must admit I am not a fan of the noise that accompanies fireworks — lovely as they may be. Those booming sounds can really damage the delicate structures in your ears; once they're damaged, they never regenerate and can't be repaired. This condition is known as noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL).
Roundup: Fireworks
I've shown you stars, I've shown you stripes, and now I'm back with some fireworks to celebrate Independence Day. As usual, I've rounded up some cool Fourth of July-inspired home decor elements that will look good in your casa year-round. This Goldfinger Pendant ($2,385) resembles a gorgeous exploding firework, but would look lovely hanging over your dining room table on any holiday.
Citizen Fireworks! Happy Birthday America the Beautiful!
The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday of the year! It's also my mom's birthday, so every year we go all sorts of red-white-and-blue crazy at our family barbecue. A firework show is the only way to finish a day of sun, fun, family, friends, flags, and food!Are Your Pets Scared of Fireworks?
Happy Fourth of July! I've shared my tips to prep pets for firecrackers, but for those of you who can hear them from your homes, are your pets ever affected?

Are Your Pets Scared of Fireworks?
To the Rescue: Fireworks Are Scary!
Fireworks can be very frightening to a dog . . .
Love Fireworks? Invest in Earplugs
Fourth of July means fireworks! I don't want to rain on your parade (since the Fourth is often celebrated with parades, too), but the loud pops and bangs of fireworks can cause serious hearing damage.
When the delicate structures in your ear called hair cells — sensory cells located in your inner ears responsible for converting sound energy into electrical signals — are damaged, they never regenerate and cannot be repaired.
What's Your Take: Did Heather Mills Kill a Dog?
An East Sussex woman is claiming Heather Mills' fireworks killed her Weimaraner, Glow, seen above. The incident occurred last weekend during the 20-minute firework conclusion of the birthday celebration for Mills' daughter with Paul McCartney, Beatrice.
Sandra Rowbury (who lives yards away) says her five-year-old dog was terrified by the loud explosions and suffered a "fatally bloated gut," dying only a few hours after the birthday party ended.
Dumbass Of The Day
Do we need to have someone light a fire under this woman's ass to get her to follow through with a single...oh, I see. Right. It's already been done.
Do You Have Multiple Orgasms?
Remember when I told you about what happens when a woman has an orgasm? Well being that it's the 4th of July, that got me thinking about another delectable thought - multiple orgasms! While some women have a hard time even having one orgasm during sex, many have been known to have more than one during a sexual escapade.
Fireworks Preparedness (Kinda)
If you missed the (non-sensationalized) news last week, then you missed a very important lesson on fireworks safety. Waving skinny wooden sticks with erratic sparks of fire shooting from them is not child's play, folks! Only dummies engage in that kind of behavior, literally.
