Have a safe and happy 4th everyone. Just me and my boy this weekend. The wife and daughter are heading to the big city for "Taste of Chicago". The wife is meeting 4 of her friends and decided to bring the 7 year old with her. That means me and the boy get to go the whole weekend without pants and eat pizza for breakfast/lunch/dinner. Grin

Happy 4th of July everyone! Please have a safe and fun holiday if you are celebrating.

DEAR ABBY: With Independence Day approaching, I'm asking for your help in reminding your millions of readers about the danger of fireworks, especially to the eyes.

Each year during Fourth of July celebrations, thousands of adults and children are seriously injured as a result of fireworks and pyrotechnic devices. Many of the injuries affect eyesight, permanently damaging -- and in some cases blinding -- the victims. In response, the American Optometric Association (AOA) urges people to refrain from using fireworks and to instead enjoy professional displays.

About two-thirds of fireworks-related injuries are burns. Most of the burns involve the hands, eyes, head and face. Almost half of the victims are under 15 years of age, and 75 percent of them are male. The most frequent cause of fireworks injuries requiring trips to the emergency room is sparklers. (Did you know that sparklers can heat up to 1,800 degrees, enough to melt gold?) A sparkler can also literally poke someone's eye out.

This may come as a surprise, but bystanders are also not safe from injury. Data from the U.S. Eye Injury Registry reveals that half of all fireworks injuries occur to bystanders.

So, on this Fourth of July, members of the AOA urge your readers to protect their eyes by avoiding fireworks and enjoying professional displays from a safe distance. -- DR. WESLEY PITTMAN, PRESIDENT, A.O.A.

I too wish everyone a safe and happy Fourth of July and independence day long weekend.

rhune has reminded me about sparklers. I had no idea that they can get that hot. However I do know that my cousin's son received 2nd and 3rd degree burns to his torso many years ago because someone touched his t-shirt with a sparkler and the t-shirt went up in flames.

Most shirts should be made to be fire resistant but cotton does burn and also not all shirts are made to our standards especially those made off shore.

Please be careful everyone so that only fun is enjoyed by all.
