My favorite holiday, actually.
i've grown to hate pretty much all of them, because they are all excuses for people (at least around here) to be even bigger assholes than usual.
there is no way to just enjoy the holdays even when its the only two days off i'm guaranteed to get, thanksgiving and xmas day, because of these frocking assholes.
especially the too-many that have earthquake-level sound systems in their cars and trucks, like the ones that right now are busy shaking the neighborhood for blocks around with their bass. i can't hear any of the music thru the foam blocks in my double-pane windows and my block-wall house construction...but the bed and various surfaces and my body are shaking to the bass. this happens on many weekends and even just regular days/nights, but it is always worse on holidays beause it isn't just one random person doing it then, it's all of the various parties and other assholes doing it in the whole area. there is nowhere to go to escape it either because it's all over the city; i've never been able to ride far enough to find a place that someone wasn't doing it. and it always goes on all night so whatever sleep i might have otherwise gotten, i can't.
then there's the other or same assholes blowing up huge bomb-sounding fireworks that are so loud they shake the house and me, too, and terrify the dogs. one of those is basically what killed kirin, gave her a heart attack that she never recovered from, so i hate them all even more for that if i didn't already hate them for terrifying animals everywhere. i wish the fireworks would explode in their hands and maim them all; wouldn't want it to kill them because then their suffering would be over. they do this stuff all year round, too, but it's usually just once a week or maybe every other week most of the year. during this season it gets worse, until the last week of the year and the first few weeks of the new year it's only several times a day, except on newyears eve whne it's a fusillade for hours that feels like i'm in a war zone. same thing around july4th and may5th. so there is about half the year when it only happens once a week on average, but those are almost always in the middle of the night, 2 or 3 am, just so the frockers can wake everyone up and piss them off; it's not like they don't know what they're doing to us all.
i'll just stop there because there are so many assholes it just never ends

I'm grateful to gather with good friends and family on a non-work day, even if the pretext is a holiday tradition founded by people who were grateful for what they'd stolen from other people they had murdered or displaced.
These days I have to take satisfaction where I can find it.
I made a colossal pot of arroz con pollo and brought a sack full of Spanish wine.

I love thanksgiving, it's a lot easier going and a lot less stressful than christmas, and one of the few USA holidays based around gratitude.
Weather sucks this time of year but it's a welcome interruption to the gloomy/cold!

Expressing my thanks to all that make this forum functional . Not only admin and mods, but contributors too.
Agreed. The holiday creates an opportunity for folks to say what or who they are thankful for, and not feel awkward, because they’re with friend and family.
But, It was even more relaxed before the whole Black Friday crap began. Instead of Friday being a relaxed beginning to a 3 day weekend, looking forward to the leftovers and lazing around in a tryptophan induced food coma; Black Friday created huge crowds and bad traffic, and the occasional story of someone getting trampled to death when the stores open in the morning, trying to get the best deals. It’s better now due to online options, but now they’ve started with advertising Black Friday right after Halloween. Christmas stuff was showing up on the shelves when I went to the store 2 weeks ago.
As mentioned in my other post above, the frocking assholes down the street are shaking the neighborhood (have been for hours now, and will probably do it till dawn or later unless we get lucky and their house collapses on them from the shaking before everyone else's does).
BOOM BOOM BOOOM BOOOMB BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM
There's no way to get away from it.
The police don't care. (they'll take your call, but even if they send someone out nothing changes, even if the enitre rest of the neighborhood complaines, for the many blocks around that are being assaulted by these frockers that ought to be beaten by their own speakers so they know what it's like to be their victims).
BOOM BOOM BOOOM BOOOMB BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM
I already had a headache when I got off work and had been hoping to curl up in bed and relax and let it go away, but their thunder boom bass has turned it into a full body headache (my brother says they're migraines); even looking at the computer screen hurts but with the retards beating me with their sound continuously, louder and louder as the night goes on I can't sleep i can't just lay here doing nothing because at least the eye and brain pain is a distraction from the BOOM BOOM BOOOM BOOOMB BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM
They actually stopped (or at least turned off the subs) for just long enough to let me just barely begin to relax, and then they
BOOM BOOM BOOOM BOOOMB BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM
turned it up even louder than before, this time loud enough to wake up jellybeantheperfectlynormalschmoo and make her anxious and actually spooked by the
BOOM BOOM BOOOM BOOOMB BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM
when she doesn't even usually notice any of it.
I'm waiting for bits of the cieling to start falling on us; the monitor in front of me is moving with each boom enough to blur the view, unless it's my eyeballs distorting from the

Did that really need to be pages long? 
Yeah. I don't get why expressing gratitude isn't a daily thing. At least we get a day or two!
Ah, i checked out of physical black friday the first time i heard of it. Only a good idea for those who are physically fit and have more money than time.

sorry, wasn't meant to be; didn't realize i'd copypasted the booms that many times (its really hard to concentrate even just to type this with the level of "sound" coming from them, it's like someone is standing there kciking my bed and the walls and everytningDid that really need to be pages long?
i deleted a bunch of the stuff hopefullly it's better cuz i don't wanna put anyone here thru antyhing bad just because i have to go thru it
yeah sorry it's just disheartening and frustrating and painful and traumatizing when they do this, which is not infrequent but it's always worse during the holidaze because so many people do it compared to the rest of the year
most of the rest of the year it's just somebodys car or truck driving within several blocks of here that is doing it which is bad enough, but with the parties it's soemtiems a car and sometimes a fixed system in a yard or whatever but it is there all day and night and sometimes the next day just going and going and going bom boom boom
plus they also shoot off the super-loud mortar round fireworks like the ones that gave kirin her heart attack and worse that is mostly at nigfht during the time most peopole are trying to sleep (even though they probably can't sleep anyway because of the constant boomboomboom of the bass)
there is just no reason to have a "sound" system that loud unless you're a sociopathic fucktard that loves to torture and assault other living beings

6+hours since they started and just getting louder all the time; it's after midnight here
so 6+hours of being shaken and beaten by their boomboomboom as if they were in my room kicking my bed and walls that whole time
and no, not exaggerating

Tesla had great ideas one of them was a anti-wave acoustic device that will cancel out sound.
So I guess you just find out the wavelength of the sound coming at you A.W. and send it back to him make it all the noise boom boom boom newt.
A sort of noise canceling boombox

Or make one of those Sonic boom things they have on ship but they pointed at someone and there body start shaking inside.
Or go grab a 12 pack and some weed and go over there and join them you might have fun ? Just a thought
Bring some Frank Sinatra or Nat King Cole or religious music. Maybe a Snoopy soundtrack
I feel bad for you A.W. I remember my girlfriend live next to a Pepsi factory all we heard was cars going in bottles rattling all night long cuz they had to get it to market by 5:00 a.m. or a neighbor that has a hound dog that won't stop cooing.

still going even now, more than 20 hours after they started, though the music itself is not audible even if i open the window, but you can still feel the bass, though only lightly most of the time. sometimes there are some big booms and thrums
around 12 hours ago they finally turned it way down, though louder than it is now, enough so i could start calming down and at least lay there and try to sleep. eventually dozed off and just woke up to the bigger booms and the usual nightmares (more than usual, though, from the stress). so exhausted from all the crap that except when the schmoos meds alarm went off at 830am and i had to get up to give her those, i didn't even try to get up until almost 2pm.
i'm still exhausted and am just laying here resting while i can, wiating for them to restart their party full-on, which will probalby happen later int eh afternoon
thats what usually happens with these frockers on holidaze they just cant' get enough so they go for the whole weekend or more, sometimes for several days in a row. and if it isnt one set of them its' another, ro sometimes several at once
edit: forgot to add that even jellybean is exhausted; she's been sleeping all day too according to my brother. when i got up to get some oatmeal and tea a couple of hours ago she had been asleep upside down on the dog couch and while i was making my stuff she didn't follow me in there like usual, but isntead went to the bedroom and crashed in there, and is still snoozing just off the end of the bed rather than trying for any attention.

I find these are quite effective at blocking out much noise. Trouble is, they are designed to allow through some human speech frequencies, because they're designed for use on building sites, and you can't sleep with them on. Earpad replacements are available. Wearing these, I can hear my heart beating, due to high blood pressure... the upside is, I can hear if breathing exercises for relaxation is working. There's no need to power up my biofeedback machine, which sounds worryingly like a Geiger counter. I sometimes use earplugs in addition, to block out more of the noisy world.

AW you live in the wild west it's okay to be packing two six shooters just keep walking back and forth from other sidewalk with your guns pearl handle revolvers.
Is it still legal to go shoot up in the air ? Haha
I mean a warning shot you're not supposed to be shooting any plane or helicopter

do they block someone kicking your bed and walls, the physical shaking and rumbling and vibration?
if not, they are useless for the problem these assholes create.
it's not the "sound" that's the problem, it's the physical assault from the bass that simply cannot be gotten away from.
it would require physically isolating the house insides from the house outsides, and mass dampers on all surfaces to stop all motion, to even begin taming the movement transferred from the shaking ground and air outside. personally i don't think even that would be enough.

I also find that 200W of pink noise pumped through four speakers drowns out most of the horrible irregular and unpredictable noise emitted by the world. Counterintuively, it's more relaxing to hear pink noise. You can EQ to generally target the frequencies emitted by objects occupying the disturbingly noisy world.

I think there's only so much that is practically possible to do, to reduce physical effects of low frequency noise. For me, noise sensitivity is the most pressing problem which causes a lot of stress sometimes, usually if accompanied by very bright internal lighting, and that's the problem ear defenders mostly solve. Simply reducing sensory input from my ears reduces stress by a lot. The rest is training myself to stay relaxed. I'd be stressed, if I hadn't learned to relax. Me being stressed, used to stress out my much missed cats.

does it block the thumping of someone kicking your bed and walls?
physically shaking you?
no?
didn't think so
don't need to add more noise i don't want to hear that won't stop other noise i don't want to feel shaking me
what would you do to stop the shaking from someone walking up and kicking your bed and walls or grabbing yuou and shaking you over and over and over for hours and hours?
there isnt' anything other than stopping them from doing it in the first plac,e which is impossible

Blimey, your noise sensitivity to noise is much greater than mine, which makes sense because I only score 26 on the scale, according to two online tests I took recently... which they say is borderline Aspergers - this makes no sense whatsoever, apart from sensitivy to loud unwanted noise and bright lights... because I am very good with people, love to give talks, perform music, hang out in crowds etc. EQ score is 54, whatever the hell that's supposed to mean. I probably answered the questions wrong. More likely these tests online tests are bogus. 5kW of pink noise pumped through sub bass units risks rupturing the internal organs of you and your dogs, and possibly the foundations of your house, which along with stress you exude when stressed, would further upset them. Point is, pink noise is predictable and doesn't stress me out, neither does extremely loud non-vocal classical music - trouble is, during the quiter parts I can hear the din I'm trying to drown out.
Do you mean in person? If so, I have a very particular set of skills to rapidly stop that happening. I learned a bunch of relaxation breathing techniques while acquiring those skills.

Yeah.Spain never did anything like that
The World apparently was perfect before America came in to existence
it's not noise sensitivity.
i am talking about their bass being so loud it actually physically shakes the walls of the building, the floor, the objects and living beings inside, and it does this for blocks around the source.
the result is as if someone is physically present in the room kicking things.
when it's just the sub bass going, you might not even hear it at all...but you will feel it. i've tried to record the problem on my phone, but it doens't pick it up on the microphone, though sometimes i can see it on the accelerometer-reading program in physics toolbox (whcih seems to only work intermittently or else the phone's imu works intermittently; i have all the rotate/tap/etc functions all turned off so i don't use the imu for any phone operations and wouldn't know if it had problems).
maybe you don't have this problem where you live, but it's not uncommon around here, where people may have car stereo systems that require separate power supplies from the rest of the car, battery banks, extra alternators, etc., to keep from stalling the car engine or damaging the engine's power supply. some of them also detune their engines so they roar really loud and braaaaap a lot.
they don't play the music part of things very loud most of the time, and often you don't even hear that as they are driving around or parked blocks away from you, but you will feel the shaking and vibration from their bass, and sometimes you can hear that part too, or you hear some things rattling from it. it's physically painful if they are near you in traffic.
or maybe it doesn't bother you or you just don't notice when someone is actually touching you and pushing you and tapping on you, though i have a hard time imagining that. when its really bad and they ahve it tuned "right", it can even make things fall off your walls and move around on countertops....which is what can happen when these "sound" systems are abused by the assholes around here.
if you still don't understand the problem, i don't know any good way to convey it other than having you experience it, which i wouldn't wish on anyone except the people causing the problem.
