if it cools me off i don't care what it is. as long as there is no poop in it that is.

I saw poop in a pool once. Horrible. I'm laughing about it now but it was soo gross.

i pulled a dead squirrel from the bottom of the pool once thinking it was a shirt. i couldn't stop screaming. i'm not sure which is worse-that or the poop.

thatdarngirl #1.1.1.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

That is totally worse then poop!!

although it was funny when my little brother took it and chased my other brother around the yard with it as he proceeded to scream like a girl (the one that was being chased)

HEHEHE NICE! I remember hearing about that, too funny.

we always have dead squirrels bc we dont drain the pool in the winter. dead frozen sqirrels=nasty. one year we had a cat. that was sad.

I pulled a live rodent from a pool once... I flung him into the woods, too...sort of gently.

above ground pools are big on the east coast huh?

tinser #2.1 tinserOG 2002

hm, i think they were all the rage like 10 years ago

now its in-ground or bust (my family started the trend, i swear)

socalgal #2.1.1 socalgalOG 2003

LOL you little trend setters! I think you guys are "Secret" west coasters! :P

tinser #2.1.1.1 tinserOG 2002

hehe, i'd be a west coaster any day!

perrin #2.2 perrinOG 2004

well my family has one.

sunshyne #3 sunshyneOG 2004

in our new house we are getting an in ground pool! yeah! so much better for pool parties, but i will miss the "whirl pool" effect.

beachbum #3.1 beachbumOG 2002

hahaha i love making whirl pools!

sunshyne #3.1.1 sunshyneOG 2004

im so glad you know what i meant. i didnt want to hafta explain it.

thatdarngirl #3.1.2 thatdarngirlOG 2002

yay! those are really fun

perrin #3.1.3 perrinOG 2004

Ah Janine thinking about this makes me think of good times. lol

forrestina #3.2 forrestinaOG 2002

covering an above ground pool is fun. always got yelled at for swimming under the cover.

fivezero #3.2.1 fivezeroOG 2003

extremely funny visual. lil frest, with a puffy mullet, neon green swimsuit, head bumping the cover.

forrestina #3.2.1.1 forrestinaOG 2002

dont forget a bathing suit with the tummy and back cut out. or a triangle bikini: /~forrestina/albums/?mode=view&album=misc&pic=bathingbeauties.JPG&dispsize=640&start=0 (3rd from left haha)

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

BAHAHAHA! so funny.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

i really wish we had a video camera back then...

fivezero #3.3 fivezeroOG 2003

i loved that. we had six guys going at one time for like a half hour. my friends lil sister decided to hop in to try and help only to get swept away like pharaoh's chariotmen.

tl:dr

sunshyne #4.1 sunshyneOG 2004

what does this mean?! the suspense is killing me!

thefunkyfresh #4.2 thefunkyfreshFounder

hahaha... totally DOESNT apply

rocksupastar #4.2.1 rocksupastarFounder

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

forrestina #4.3 forrestinaOG 2002

ha now that's just pure laziness

originalsnob #5 originalsnobOG 2004

I always prefered in-ground but, I mean either type is a REAL pool. It's cool to be able to just jump/dive in without worrying you'll crack your head open.

sunshyne #6 sunshyneOG 2004

as long as you can get wet, its a pool. even if its mr turtle.

forrestina #6.1 forrestinaOG 2002

that is a misuse!

fivezero #6.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003

yes. mr. turtle is a recreational receptical for a loose granular material that results from the disintegration of rocks, consists of particles smaller than gravel but coarser than silt.

sunshyne #6.1.1.1 sunshyneOG 2004

we repurposed our mr turtle as a foot bath at the base of our pool ladder. looks like frest still hasnt recovered.
