We've rented a house in Grayton that doesn't have a pool, contrary to all previous years where we have had one. My kids are poolaholics and are really bummed that they won't have one.
Number 2 son rarely if ever goes into the ocean because of jelly fish stings in the past. Do we have any options that are in Grayton anywhere we can take them that they can get come chlorine time, paying $$ if necessary for usage/membership? Is it unheard of to pay something like "pool rental" on a beach house that maybe hasn't rented but would like a little extra income for a week?

:blush:

I am getting the bike warmed up for cooler weather. Since I am a geek and wear a helmet, it is a bit too muggy and hot to ride anywhere right now.

spoofer...do you have a tandem? that's the only way this will work! 😀

I am glad you clarified with almost! I was think not only cuter, but a lot taller too! :lol:

I didn't say so because in another post I wrote to be happy wherever, when the plans go bad, have fun, blah, blah, blah -- and seriously, I meant it and try to live that way every day -- BUT meanwhile the real me is on another thread practically selling my dog for a pool to swim in.


How much are you asking for him?


That depends. How big is your pool?

Well that would be trading your dog for a pool, I thought you were selling him and using that money for the pool.

My pool is fairly large, however it's in Louisville.

I was desperate. I don't really even have a dog. That's how bad I want a pool. I'd sell an imaginary dog for one. :blink:

So if this were me (and it wouldn't ever be because I would never rent a place without a pool in the first place), I think I would have forgone the Disney trip if a pool meant so much to me. It sounds like you are not going to have a very nice time if you don't have a pool. I was down in July. Yes, we did have a pool but I think I only got in it twice. The kids of course were in it everyday. I myself was in the Gulf most of the time. I had to dodge the jellies, and the June Grass made me look like the Swamp Monster but it was worth it to me. I also put my beach chair at the shore and enjoyed the waves washing over my feet and legs. It was pure heaven to me. Sometimes you have to make lemonaide out of lemons and think of this as a lesson learned. I will tell you this as well, there are many condo complexes that have pools and if you get a condo pool side and not Gulf Front, then the cost goes down a lot. Just a thought if the pool is more important than a Gulf View for you. Now it doesn't sound like a pool is going to appear for you, so if you are staying in Grayton enjoy the lake and the Gulf, because IMHO, it doesn't get any better than that!

I don't remember her being that boney, but she was a beauty.

Don't worry, I'll be just fine. We've been many times before, and much of the banter above was in jest.

Disney came first, Grayton was just an add-on.

:cry: Hey, I meant in my vacation plans. Not topographically.

I went thru a lot of bull%&^$ to get my husband to $agree$ to this very special add-on you call GRAYTON.

I'm so happy to see you get my name. Nobody ever does ;-)

:wave:...we had to ride you...you asked for it and we didn't get your sense of humor...it is original!!!! It pays off sometimes to jump in slowly around here. You have a great vacation coming up and all I really want is for you to enjoy it and stop second guessing yourself!

Hey, did you see my new signature line :cool:

I tried to go slowly. It's just not in my nature. As far as my humor, that I inherited from a very funny father:wub:.

I had to be a no-dilbert, because in Dilbert-like office conditions, it never worked out. I've been told (in younger days -- OK, and not so long ago) that my employee-style and energy level might require something a little more "unconventional.":idontno: My report cards from elementary school on up all say the same thing in a different way: fun but a pain in the a^%

I always tell my husband I waste my best material on him. I love him to death, but he's really just not very funny.

9 days til my vaca!!!!

yes, I did. Good one.

😱...we have something in common. My husband hardly ever laughs at my never ending supply of humor. He told me one time that he laughs inside. I called him a Selfish SOB. 😀
