trying to figure out what has brought a fire truck, an ambulance, and a water extractor van -- but no cops-- to my neighbor. They brought someone out on a stretcher. Then the water extractor guy went back in.

Odd.

Slipped in the bathtub?

Cloud · 05-20-2008, 11:52 AM

they wouldn't need water extraction for just a slip, though, don't think

Maybe there's an Endless Pool in the basement.

Just mount an outboard motor to the side of a kiddie pool. You'll be all set.

I would LOVE an endless pool! I'd put one in my living room if I could.

but -- no basements here

Meh. My mom and stepdad had one. All the work and maintenance of a real pool, but not enough space to play in. My brother and I thought it was dumb. It soon got abandoned just like every other piece of exercise equipment they ever bought.

Clod was priv-el-edged!
We were excited by our Slide-Away (long plastic sheet with water running down it - can't link to it as they're all much fancier now)

We had an old school slip and slide. It came from the slip and slide folks, but there was no little bumper thingy on the end...you usually ended up sailing through yards of grass (both yard and yard meant here) once it had been used enough. It was held in place by metal, kind of like unstapled staples that you pushed into the ground. As these wore out or got lost, we took to holding the end down with bricks.

But, we lived. Until we got the Jarts out.

It's staff appreciation week at work this week. There was a health fair at lunch today. I walked around and looked at the different booths. But I only stopped to guess how many golf tees were in a gallon jar for a chance to win a $100 cash card. I also entered some raffle for a bunch of health stuff like duffel bags, water bottles, and cook books.

Well I WON!!!!!! Woo hoo! I won a free health assessment at a local gym. For my prize, I get to be poked and prodded and given a hard sell to join a gym.
