Don't stick your hand in to pull the skimmer basket out either. I have a hook to snag it.

Is that the rare Jheri Curl spider?

:shudder:

I'm skeered of water ever since "Jaws". I walk around the whole pool to make sure there aren't any sharks.

 

[my-thyme]

That sucka was 4" across, and covered with babies!

I've jumped in with a snake. Swam over to get the stick outta the water.

Nope, not a stick.

2 baby copperheads in the skimmer one year.

Thirsty?

Probably thirsty.

I'm gonna set shallow dishes of water all around the pool.

I thought it was a toad when I looked out the window.

I'd have had a heart attack.

My spider story from this morning pales in comparison to that monster. I was sitting on the bottom of my bed brushing my teeth when I saw what I thought was some fuzz or balled up hair underneath the bathroom vanity. I used my finger to pull it out and it was a huge dead spider.

Dead are the best kind, IMHO.

Old people get tired standing in front of a mirror, gotta sit down.

Not at all! We're just wise enough to conserve our energy for more important things.

Pools - they’re not all they are hyped to be! That’s why I don’t have one - I abhor snakes and gators.

My whole family wanders while brushing their teeth. Husband and I stay in our bedroom while our boys wander around either the living room or kitchen. We multi-task while brushing teeth. Getting stuff out to lay on the bed, put dishes in the sink, etc. Helps ensure we brush for the proper amount of time too.

There was this movie back in the 70s that was like "Willard" but with snakes. One of the scenes, a guy goes out to his pool and gets on the diving board, dives, and as he's in midair he sees that the pool is filled with snakes.

:shudder:

So yeah, I always look.

I put my pool in when my kids were pre-teens. I wanted them home and to know who their friends were and what they were about. All the kids came to my house and I was happy to have them. Best money I EVER spent. All those kids were safe and good clean fun. Never had any accidents or trouble. I know all those kids remember a good time. I have one pic with 38 kids in the pool.
