I wish you all could take advantage of the glorious distraction that is the conversation on my local NextDoor site, started with a simple question: "Is fluoride bad?"
That's weird...there's a guy on *my* NextDoor group about a month ago who brought up a huge debate on the same topic!
Guys, we looked at a house with a pool last night. I loved it, but $1K a year for pool maintenance...does this seem accurate, pool people? It covers opening and closing the pool, all chemicals snd maintenance. I'd just have to skim, check Ph and add chems when needed. I pay $200/summer for a family membership at our local pool, but I'd live in the pool all summer and have friends with kids over a ton. It's got an amazing deck, a covered porch, and the house itself is great.
I need to make a practical, informed decision, even though my knee-jerk is FUCK YES GIMME THE WATER.
That's less than $100/month, it doesn't seem out of line to me.
I was told to expect more like $10k a year for a pool down here when we were looking to buy. Major reason we do not have a pool.
Here it is generally $90-100 a month for pool maintenance.
I napped much of the day. Emotionally exhausted.
Timelies all!
I do worry about the world Mr. S is growing up in.
That seems reasonable to me, Strix, for all the use and joy you'd get from having it.
I think it is probably worth it for you, Strix, but I also think our representatives from Los Angeles and Florida aren't considering that you aren't using the pool 12 months where you are!

It must be going around the internet.
Can we pass a law that lets me punch Paul Ryan? I know I could get solid bipartisan support for Ted Cruz, but might as well start with something more challenging.
It comforts me to think that at some point, the children who are growing up in this era of mass shootings will be adults and will vote these regulations into law. Eventually.
