5. Havent seen her in a while either.
Apparently, there was a thread the other night that she took umbrage to. She was really upset, so maybe she's taking a break from DU for a while.
Sincerely,
the DU neighborhood gossip

8. Yep, you got it right, DU Gossip.
;) Not much gossip to it, though. I forget that I can't reveal some things about myself on DU.

:hi: Beast. :)

12. I'm tempted to go back and find out how those threads ended
but it would be like jumping back into the wood chipper again. (Kinda like Steve Buscemi only alive.)

15. Now you know why I escaped for a time.
Hope I didn't give you nightmares, though.

7. Here I am, in the firm but pliant flesh.
How's life back home, Ronny?

Hi, everybody!

18. Weather's great, the house is mess.
We are in the middle of re-modeling. It's hell!

But the end results will be worth it.

16. Helping her sister turn green soup back into pool water?
I recall she needed advice for her sister's pool problem...

17. LOL BJ. I wish that were it -- it'd mean I was back home in So. Cal.
Alas, she came to the conclusion that it would be best to drain the pool, scrub it, and start over. They should be ready to swim again just in time to take a Kerry victory dip! :bounce: (Yeah, I'm exaggerating. Takes a long time to drain & fill via garden hose.)

We both thank you again for the advice you offered.

19. That's a pain.
My parents had to do that to their pool twice. It wasn't green, but it was getting there.

20. That's no fun....
I've had to do it more that once. the first time, it was late in the day when I got the the thing drained and scrubbed, so I left the re-fill for morning....

Didn't know that vinyl pool liners shirnk by 50% when they dry out, and no they won't stretch back to original size....
