IN my very sweetest nicest tone of voice, I say, you're damn right. I hate our pool. It is nothing but upkeep upkeep upkeep. It eats a billion dollars worth of chemicals a month, costs us an extra 100.oo a month in electricity (that is the truth)and no one uses it. It looks lovely after you have scrubbed, treated, vacuumed, bleached the coping, changed the light bulb under water, netted the dead rodents and birds and frogs from it, taken apart giant filters filled with disgusting, gooey diatanaceous earth and are impossible to put back together and almost caused a divorce last summer when I was trying to tell my husband how he was doing it wrong. This takes most of a weekend. Then you don't look at it until the next weekend when it's all green, muddy, leafy, froggy all over again.
THe neighbors, who sneak over at midnight and use it seem to enjoy it, however.
ANd that's nice. |
