sarah to go shopping this fourth of july. im gonna be 15. **** you all! whenever i tell anyone that they're like omg you're gonna be sweet 16 next year rofl. do i give 45 ****s about driving? no. do i give 45 ****s about getting a job? yeah. job = more money, more money = more shopping, more shopping = more stuff. i'm gonna do something stupid and easy like bagging groceries. my brother's friend/friend's brother (same person) does that and he gets paid alot. we go to safeway every thursday and check out in his aisle so my brother can chat with him. thank you for wasting your time reading this ****ty post that has nothing to do with you or anything you care about. have a nice day and may the force be with you.

Sadly the American flag that we used to put up on my house ripped ages ago, probably from being weathered so much.. we really should get a new one..

well, i for one am confused - good thing i'll be able to distract myself by staring at all the pretty colors

I'm glad they're honoring Reagan this way. :)

That's some useful information about the black ribbons and stuff. I've always wondered what you were supposed to do with a flag that couldn't be lowered.

If I was REALLY confused, I would just put up no flag.

when will the flag stop flying at Half-Staff? It's been like that for awhile.

Also, are people allowed to fly their own flags at Half-Staff say if someone in their family died?

I don't think so, because it's not a national thing. I'm not trying to be rude, but I think it's just presidents, and war heroes.

Yeah that's what I thought. But I could have sworn that my school flew theirs at half-staff when students have died.

It should end just after July 4th. Reagan died June 5th, the order was for 30 days I believe, so it should end July 5th(or close to that).

The rules as far as I know are 30 days from the death of a president/former president; 10 days from the day of death of the VP, chief justice, or speaker of the house; from the day of death to the day of interment for a justice of the supreme court, a secretary of an executive or military department, a former vice president, or a state governor; and on the day of death and the following day for a senator or congressman


And no, the flag can only be flown at half-staff by order of the President or a state governer

I remember the flags flying at half-staff at schools after deadly shootings and stuff like that. Also after 9/11, flags were at half-staff for a LONG time.
