No time…there’s turtles to be saved.

By Laura On July 8, 2013 · 47 Comments

Take a good look at that pool. Today is the last day it will look like that. They’re finally coming today to pump it out and clean it and fix it and fill it. I don’t know how much will get done today, but I’m wearing my water wings just in case.

P.S. Yes, I will be taking pictures of the draining and posting them here and yes, all amphibians will be safely relocated.

I’ll take Nessie’s cousin. My sister is building a pool at her palatial estate and I think it will give it CHARACTER.

Watch out for those dead hookers’ bodies weighted down at the bottom.
Probably got more than that one turtle in there !

I’m glad you are going all Animal Planet on us and saving the turtles. Of course, we all knew you would. You have your own little wildlife sactuary in your home. Can’t wait to see the pool when it’s done. Can we all come over a play?

How many live turtles and dead hookers did you pull out of the pool? Inquiring minds want to know!

So…. Any pool pics yet? Pool boy pics?

You know? If the real George won’t come to your pool, an inflatable George doll would make a nice floating device. Definitely better looking than those arm thingies

Malaria! Drink 3-10 gin & tonics to be on the safe side.

Also, “pumping my pool” sounds a tiny bit dirrrty.
