Maintenance is not really that big a deal. It is only money.



But don't you see Greg? Sharing a "community" pool and having no
maintenance responsibilities is a very progressive, liberal thing.




Besides missing the pee, you miss all the kids screaming and jumping in.

Getting in a car and driving to the pool is about the same to me as
hooking up a trailer every time I want to go boating. I just wouldn't
do it.


I wouldn't waste the time and effort required to maintain a personal
outdoor pool, especially one up here or further north, considering the
shortness of the season compared to yours.

As I pay to enter, I assume part of the fee goes towards paying for
maintenance.

You share the public roads, I assume. How progressive and liberal of you.

Fortunately, unlike you and some others here, I rarely am up at 2 am,
and even if I were, going for a skinny dip in a pool is not appealing.

You don't waste a lot of time or effort on anything except being an
asshole. And you are quite good at what you do. ;-)


Paid your taxes yet?
Own any boats?
Own a home?
Own a decent car?
Have any toys worth mentioning?

What part of swimming in other peoples pee is disgusting, don't you
understand?

Johnny, your golf course wants you to wear these while your loafing
around your local course during snow storms. They said something about
making yourself useful.

Nope, the gates are closed. Still about six inches in many places,
especially those
with shade. Plus, the ground is so wet we'd have to wear snowshoes to
keep from
sinking.

Cute idea though. Thanks.

Where did you get the small slide, Nanook?

Found it on the side of the road ;-)
That is the "slide of death". I actually got a cancellation notice
from my insurance company because I had a pool slide. I sent them a
picture with a yard stick setting next to it.
They then changed up and said they really meant I didn't have a fence
around my pool. and I asked them if the woman who spotted the S.O.D
noticed the screen cage?
They did and they had tacked on an additional $150 to my insurance
bill for it.
I never heard any more about it. The kids quickly outgrew the slide
and it became a ball return for the basketball hoop we had there.
Now it is just a place holder for the waterfall that was originally
planned for that spot.
That piece of PVC pipe sitting there was the prototype to test the
plumbing to be sure I had enough head pressure from the pool pump.



Speaking of pools, I finally made it over to the fairly new Hall
(Calvert County) indoor aquatics center, which has a bunch of swim
lanes, a huge jacuzzi and a therapy pool, which I also tried and has
water at a balmy 86 degrees Fahrenheit, and an exercise equipment room,
too. Nice play to spend an afternoon in the middle of the winter here.

That's fine if you like swimming in other people's pee.

I prefer swimming where fish poop. In my private pond. No maintenance, and no fees. Great place for cookouts and/or solitude.

I agree with you. The last two houses we've had up here had/have pools.
Great when kids are young and they get used. I'll never have a pool
again ... of course I am also not planning on having kids again either!

What's even nastier is that other people are swimming in his pee. Yuck.

You live in an area great for walking. Save your bucks. Get a big dog and walk a few
miles everday.
