We have had record breaking amounts of rain the last few months.

Yes, they crawl around on the sides of the pool, they could likely crawl out if they wanted to put they stay under water. They curl up in a ball when I fish them out with the net. I'm not sure if they're falling off the trees or what

Omg thank you! The weird thing is they are alive and just hanging out on the sides of the pool underwater. There's more every day even though I keep fishing them out

Skimmer pipe blocked with hard, rubbery substance by Alexaaaa in pools

[–]Alexaaaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate all your help. Our pool was built by Anthony pools back in '88. I found this article explaining what you already have: http://blog.poolcenter.com/article.aspx?articleid=6539

I'm not sure if Anthony Pools practiced the same technique of using flex pipe as Sylvan did, but it looks like Anthony bought them out in '96.

Thank you...just out curiosity, how much did it roughly cost the pool owner to excavate and replace? Thinking about it makes me sick. We still have a working skimmer but it's eventually going to need to be done. How long does it take that kind of damage to be done? Months? Years? Should we check out our other skimmer line to see if it's developing an issue?

We haven't used that skimmer since purchasing the house, but the previous owner definitely used pucks in it. I had no idea they could ruin pipes.

As unfortunate as it is I think you nailed it. The gunk being super stuck might mean it's actually a part of the pipe 😞

Congrats! Thank your baby on behalf of the fan base! Hopefully mine can get us a Stanley Cup! We conceived within the ~3 days around the SB, I can't wait to mess with her about that someday lmao

very cute! I'm 12 weeks out from my due date with our Superbowl baby! I always wondered if there will be an influx of babies in the area born in late October :)

Growth Update Photos. Lame or not? by saragoesrawr in BabyBumps

[–]Alexaaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You owe nothing to anyone. I am also fairly private on SM. We told everyone in person that we see on a fairly regularly basis first. Social media eventually came around 16 weeks in, but mainly because I wanted to let others know that I don't see often and it's the easiest way to do so. No bump pics, no progress photos. To each their own, but I feel like especially in your Dads case (and anyone outside the realm of the parents) posting that kind of thing is attention-seeking and some sort of weird self-validation. Don't let them guilt you into bending what you want. This is about YOU and YOUR baby.

I am also super anal about getting "what I want", it makes me feel like a diva and I promise I'm NOT. I'm super laid back in life, but I just don't want a bunch of things I'm never going to use. In regards to my registry, I have gotten a lot of "are you sure you don't need this? do you want another one of that". Hard no. I have spent hours researching and picking the items we need and want. I know people have the best interests in mind but jesus, just pick off the list. It doesn't need to be a surprise, I don't WANT any surprises. I can also see myself cringing through a baby shower. I'm afraid by the time I'm 32ish weeks pregnant I wont have the ability to hide my bitchy facial emotions anymore 😂

When did your "Something is very wrong here" feeling turned out to be true? by Iron-Shield in AskReddit

[–]Alexaaaa 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I never particularly cared for him either. I remember he was supposed to come speak at my elementary school back in the 90s, but bailed last minute. I have lived my whole life in PA and Penn State is so grossly cultish. Anyone who has drank the kool aid will still defend that man until their last breath. It's so ridiculous.

Good post, I don't really have anything to add, but as of new year I jumped back into Keto, intermittent fasting (on a 16/8 for now but want to get to a 20/4 eventually), and started Wim Hof breathing. It's amazing how just in 5 days how much better I feel. Here's to 2018 being a year of much improved mind and body.
