It’s only 9am on NYE for me here in Virginia, but I know it’s hit in a few places :laugh:

Happy New Year y’all. I hope this year brings you every bit of happiness, hope, wonder, and love that you deserve!

Oh. You just made me thankful it’s raining here :roflmao: I hadn’t even thought about fireworks.

In the event someone decides to do it anyway, anything I should keep in mind? Would having music going help?

Happy New Year to everybody.
Fireworks are my greatest fear tonight. Bebe will be basket case if there are too many of them. I had better dig the sound soother before midnight.

Mabel and Jeff don't mind at all - they sleep straight through.

It's almost 11pm now and I'm off to bed full of cheese fondue and wine. I've reached that distinct point in my life where I actively plan for an early night on New Year's Eve :rofl:

I’m sorry you’re sick! Hopefully it’s nothing too bad.

Omg I am drooling! I can not find replacement burner parts (at a normal kind of price) for my fondue pot so the poor thing is collecting dust.

My guys don't care, there were some loud enough to be felt throughout the whole house and not a peep from any of my boys. Birdie moved to another perch so he could get a better view it looked like lol.
I have found with things like fireworks/ gunshots/ cars backfiring and many other strange or not often heard noises my guys all get more stressed if I seem worried or fuss, I have also found that other background noise helps with any noises they may be bothered by.

Is there nothing online? We just have a small pot underneath that we fill with a special burning paste.

Last I looked the burning stuff (weird cotton thing) and the gauze to cover it was some stupid amount. I might look again, they seem to be back in fashion even it is crappy chocolate fondue that everyone seems to be making.

I am blocked from seeing that page. Amazon here is not as good as it there so I do not bother even searching it, probably should as I dare say it has got better since I last looked but I might check ebay or gumtree. Not that it can be used in the house anyhow and I am not sitting outside in the mozzie and dragonfly parties to eat lol

A lot of the ones I see online are electric, I’d hope at least a few out there are free from the chemicals
