Pep,

My mom and sister are American. I am too, though I was born and live in Britain. My sister's going to a party, I think!

I don't know what to do. I'm conflicted. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Life may feel as if you are constantly getting kicked on a daily basis, living is about picking yourself up each day and going on and on and on regardless.

I miss Marks and Spencers sooooo much!
I was so disappointed when they closed their shops in Spain.
Give me back my Earl Grey Tea!

I am not an American... but I do love hotdogs, hamburguers, etc and fireworks... someone take me to a July 4th party or ELSE! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

In my little town, we're having a pancake breakfast at the Grange. Then there's a parade down all 3 block of the historic main street, actually 2nd Ave not Main St. Any and all can join the parade. I think I'll take my dogs dressed in their stylin' new sunvisors. The parade ends at the newly reconstructed bandstand. The John Phillip Souza Band will play a medley of songs as the structure is dedicated. After that, it's a BBQ. The big question will be what firework display do we want to go see. Maybe this year will go to the one in the big stadium. I've also got a fine selection of colorful explosives in the basement. We can do our own later.

Now is that a small town celebration or what?

Hey Brits-At least we do burn Guy Fawkes in effigy. We just explode things.
