A) Rachel is correct. It wasn’t hot at all and I was a little annoyed that they were out there making all that noise when it just wasn’t even like “hey a dip in the pool would really cool us off”. I mean, at least if it were hot as bawlz I would feel some sympathy for the wanting to cool off part but hell, they probably had to put on extra clothes afterward just to warm up.
B) I seriously have no idea where this group of people came from and the thought occurred to me that they might have just been a rogue band of kids going around pool-hopping. I can’t imagine they are friends of the lady who owns the house, or her 11 and 13 year old daughters or her 60-something mother who lives in the basement. They might be friends of her 20-something daughter and the daughter’s boyfriend, who live in the attic. But they probably aren’t friends with the 20-something daughter’s 3- or 4-year old son who also lives in the attic. Are you getting the picture here? A LOT of people live in this house.
C) It is somewhat less disgusting than Heidi thinks, because they finally shocked the pool, after several weeks of just swimming in the 2 feet of pond water that was in the pool. I have reason to believe that they just dumped 1000 gallons of Clorox in it, because I don’t know how else you could get all that green out and from the looks of it they had to add at least that much liquid just to get the water level up to the top. I kind of wish now that I had taken a photo of the pool before they shocked it just so you could all see how gross it was.
D) I don’t ever want to own a pool unless I also own a cabana boy. No pond water for me!
E) I am also a little jealous that I don’t have the kind of life where I am just randomly out at a pool party at 3 AM that didn’t even get started before 1 AM. I was never that cool and I always wished I had been.
F) It occurred to me just now that I am really fortunate that they weren’t skinny dipping in that pool. Blegch!
B) Maybe it was all of them'ns in the house.
ReplyDeleteC) You'd be surprised how little chlorine it takes to clear up pond water
F) Depends on how good looking they are.
WOW. Gross. Gross. Double gross. I can't believe that pool. I am NEVER getting a pool either. I have a friend with a pool in Madeira and she said that the cicadas made her pool a total hell this season. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteWe have an in-ground pool in Toledo (OK, well, I guess I can't really say "we" anymore.. my parents have a pool) and it's pretty nice. My dad does put kind of a lot of work into it, though. It would be nice if we had more sun in our backyard so that the water temp would occasionally rise above like 60, though. Then it would be worth the work, I think.
