Who wants to go to the pool?

[tigereye]

It's a beautiful day. C'mon you know you want to leave your office!

Got to get my son away from the endless videos and computer games!

1. I have a pool and a son sitting playing video games :(. n/t

[tigereye]

6. well, then he hangs by the lifeguard asking

Gameboy questions! Oh well.

[SW FL Dem]

8. No - he sits on his bed and noone is in the pool. n/t

[tigereye]

12. mine is 8 and he is still really into the pool

plus he is still learning to swim. SO I may have a few years yet before he retreats into his bedroom!

16. Mine is 13 and has been swimming for years

These days, the pool isn't as interesting as video games. I am just worried about him getting exercise. Right now, he's out with friends trying to crack his head open while skating full speed and trying to "grind" on a horizontal pole. I'm torn, he is getting exercise which he desperately needs, but he could seriously injure himself.

17. it is interesting

there is such a tendency to be so protective as parents ( especially these days where it almost seems that we want to wrap them in bubblewrap or something :) ), but we can only control and protect them so much. Some mistakes we have to let them make on their own, or deal with the consequences, but we want them to be safe at the same time!

It is the parental dilemna, I guess. I was a very responsible kid and teen, but I still wonder about some of the things I did when I was in high school which showed poor judgment. But I turned out okay.

2. I really don't like the outdoors.

But I DO like to see pretty girls in bikinis.

Oh, the quandary I am in!

3. You should watch those "Wild On" shows on E!

There are plenty of girls in bikinis on them. In fact Im not sure that they have any purpose other than to showcase girls in skimpy outfits

[tigereye]

5. I'm afraid it's mostly moms in one pieces, kids

and a few teeners/ college kids. There are some pretty young women there, but they are too young for you!

But, even you need to leave your lair once in a while.

Plus the pool makes me ... uh.... randy. :evilgrin:

9. College kids getting to you, eh?

;)

[tigereye]

10. hey are you reading my mind now?

uh-oh, didn't know you could do that! :)

how are ya?

4. I'm not really a pool person.

I love to swim, but would rather swim in a lake, the ocean, or any natural water source.

[tigereye]

7. I prefer the ocean, but I am many hours away from it

There is a nice lake near here - we do go occasionally. But kids need a pool or they would never leave the house! PLus I was a swim teamer many moons ago.

11. CANNONBALL!!!!

\\\\\\\\\ker-splassssshhhhhhhh////////////


Ahh, this is great!

A dip in the pool would be terrific. I'm lucky that my gym has a jr. Olympic-sized pool, and at least once a week I spend an hour swimming -- it's a great way to forget all the weirdness of the world.

:toast:

14. swimming keeps me sane

plus there is such a soothing quality to the water. Very calming.
