How are you celebrating Americas 250th birthday?

[Grizzlymi]

I'll fly the flag upside down when poor people don't have I-phones, and are not fat. When "they" start to go door to door taking our guns, arresting people for expressing their 1st Amendment rights on social media or banning gas engines!!! Until then, I'll proudly fly my USA Flag upright and proudly!!!! There are other country's to move to, but we are one of the only ones that people are fighting to get into. So I'm going to fly my USA flag upright, and thank God everyday for what I have and everything he has blessed us with. Politicians come and go, but this idea of America has evolved over the last 249 years and on July 4th 2026, I'm celebrating my a$$ off and hoping for better days to come!!

I think the upside down flag is an insult to the country and what it stands for. I know, we all have the right to our own opinions, but as a disabled veteran, I respectfully object to the improper display of the flag I fought for. You do whatever you think is correct, though.

Thank you for your service!

Too soon? Too “wrong”? Unpatriotic perhaps? Don’t care, as I think this is real patriotism.

Real patriotism??
...more like brainwashed

Take that SHIP" somewhere else
...as this thread is about how folks are celebratin' Americas 250th birthday
&
Robert wouldn't be impressed with ya makin' this political
* NO Politics, NO Religion & no jerks...it's not that complicated

IMO The United States of America is the GREASTEST place to live/be on the entire planet

I personally feel that "If you don't love it...leave it"

Canada accepts unappreciative "sorry azzez"
...as they are pretty WOKE up there (should "fit right in")

I think were just gonna grill some burgers and watch the town set off fireworks. Guys are OBSSESSED with them around here. Lol Ive mentioned it before but these people will set off fireworks to celebrate taking a healthy dump!

Sometimes with a good healthy dump you just have to celebrate. You’ll appreciate it more when you get older. Sometimes I want to throw a parade!

I would like to think we can all agree that this is the greatest country in all humanity. We are not celebrating our government, but this country as and idea and a living evolvement. So forget our government, and celebrate "Merica next weekend!!!!!!! Long live the USA!!!!!!

I'm heading upnorth hopefully to Boyne Mountain. My parents have a place up there. It's is beautiful up there. My mom has been battling cancer since April 2025, and she's off the radiation till August, so I think they are going up. Rest of the family as well. My family knows how to party, so should be a blast! Fly fishing, gun's, fireworks, beer, bourbon and just plain old 'Merica stuff in northern Michigan!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is my Summer Pasta Salad recipe.
Notice everything is in one pound increments so we can do it again. (some cannot be one pound, but I hope we are all smart enough to finger it out)
Bowtie pasta, cooked
mayonnaise
Kraft creamy poppyseed dressing
canned Mandarin oranges
One pound fresh strawberries, topped and sliced
Sliced green onions, about 1/4-3/8 inch (one bunch, not one pound)
Mix it up, put it in the refrigerator overnight
Add blueberries for color, but not necessary at all. It gets colorful on its own.
Let me know how you like it.


This refreshing pasta salad is ideal for warm-weather celebrations and pairs wonderfully with a festive table. If you're planning a special brunch or summer gathering, a bottle of paul bara grand cru brut reserve can be an elegant addition for guests who enjoy sparkling wine. Its crisp, lively style complements fruit-based dishes and helps create a relaxed, celebratory atmosphere without overpowering the fresh flavors of the salad.

I have tried it and I enjoyed! Thx my friend

More enjoyin' the "bounties" of America

Over the weekend, we grilled some
...Chicken (puttin' 'em on a stick, makes 'em easier to "deal with")
...Kielbasa
...roasted some potatoes
...& some beans too (who says ya can't cook beans on a grill?)

I even found some patriotic STAR shaped Tater Tots
...& they are a "proud partner of America 250"

Burgers and dogs under the oak trees with the neighbors I barely know, picnic tables and waiting for the fireworks from about a mile down the road. Sunday picking up the trash and finding whose these tables belong to.

250 years is a big deal. Without stating anything political, I want to stay that we need to uphold the wishes of our founding fathers who wrote the constitution to protect out Christian beliefs. This is the greatest nation ever created and it was created for freedom and truth.
God bless America!
