flexible pvc pipe. ugh....please comment if you can
Comments (9)banana fanna, I quit using flex 20 years ago. It tends to grow in warm conditions(spa plumbing) and contract in cold conditions. This movement creates problems if the pipe is near the steel or shell of the pool because it can rub and cause leaks. When buried directly in the ground it can expand against small bits of rock or concrete that might get dumped in the trench with it. It's more expensive than sch 40 hard pipe but it may save some fittings and the argument may be that it creates more efficient water flow. My personal experience is that flex pipe is vulnerable to leakage if it happens to be stacked incorrectly between manufacture and installation. It's not recommended for above ground use because it can grow to 2-3 times its natural diameter in hot summer temperatures. I'm in an area where summer temps can reach 105-110 degrees on occasion. If your PB insists on using flex underground, then you need to insist that it be placed in sand bed and shaded with sand. And further, that it never penetrates the shell or any other concrete.

Comments (6)My husband and son spent $31 at the store - ice cream and 3 cakes. I had made 3 pies. The good news is that every single dessert was cut or scooped into, making people very happy. Or until, as Fran mentioned, they stepped onto the scale the next morning. Dinner went well, lots of leftovers. And the dessert evening went very well also. My older son and his girlfriend were part of the evening visitors. Last year they spent the day with us, the whole thing. They didn't leave to also try to see any of her family. So I knew a year ago that this year they would spend the day with her family. I was very pleased that they did share some of their time with us because I hadn't asked them to. I don't want to be a pill!...See MoreJust say "ugh"
Comments (37)Beets, olives, and bleu cheeses due to taste factor. Raw oysters, for texture (I'll eat them in chowder, so cooked is fine). For health reasons, I can't eat goat cheese. I love cheese, it's just that one, makes my tongue tingly. Better not try it again! Escargot are ok as long as they're not overcooked. It really makes me laugh when people say, ick, no! to organ meat, but to eat muscles is just fine. What makes one ok and the other not? HA! Don't think too hard about it being muscles (and fat)....See MoreCan we all please stop referring to breasts as boobs?
Comments (108)The title of this thread caught my attention, and I skipped down to comment because I hate the word 'boobs' for breasts too. Maybe because to me, the word has always meant a stupid, clownish person?...See MoreTexas_Gem
