What do you do when filling in a garden swimming pool?

[andrewhomes]

My friend has recently purchased a house, he was contemplating having

pool, only to discover that the previous owners had a pool but hav filled it in with sand, but he is not sure whether the pool is badl damaged, when we consult 'aquabot'

regardin it they said that usually they are punctured(it's fibreglass) and lef to drain then filled, if we want to put a pool in do we need to remov this one or can it be repaired in some way, is this the only way tha you can empty them. We don't have any contact address for the previou owners or we would ask them

consult a fiberglass pool builder not the gardening group. I have a gunnite pool, but the neighbor has fiberglass. Fiberglass can always be repaired.

You've returned! Hurrah! C

The message from Cheryl Isaak contains these words:

For some reason her messages from the above address don't propagate to my newsserver, so they never appear on my newsreader. (I've checked, and I haven't inadvertently killfiled her). There was never a problem when V used her earlier addresses.Now it sounds as if Cheryl hasn't seen her posts for a while either, which could mean the propagation problem isn't just transatlantic. I wonder if other regulars in wreckedgardens have been missing posts from jangchub/V (for months).

[Cheryl Isaak]

Actually, she dropped out for a bit. I checked on her and found her taking a break from wrecked.gardens.

[jangchub]

For now, anyway. Thanks for the email.

v

[jangchub]

I haven't posted for months. That's why you haven't seen posts. The only thing I changed is my hard drive and my husband misspelled sakadawa in my fake email address.

That's okay then, though I still haven't seen her return. Hope you are feeling well V.

you can always line the pool with a pool liner. a lot of people give up on their cement pools which leak and just line them.

now.... can you talk your friend >

[jangchub]

Thank you Janet, even though you don't see me! I have cirrhosis. I don't feel that well, but my life is beyond my expectations and I am happy. Bodies rot away; minds do not :)

v

[John McWilliams]

I am sorry to hear that, and hope for a speedy recovery. Your mind certainly isn't rotting, but I've seen a few cased where the mind has rotted, but the body not.

Be in peace.

John

[jangchub]

Thank you, John. Cirrhosis is progressive and recovery is not really eminent. If we can't keep it from progressing, there are two things, liver cancer, or liver transplant. I think for someone in my physical condition I'm pretty mindful. I do have to laugh out loud when someone tells me to adjust my meds. May they get cirrhosis and walk in my shoes. WE're all on death row.

You are very kind. Peace to you too.

[Janet Baraclough]

The message from John McWilliams contains these words:

Good for you; how's the garden and wildlife?

Thanks John for requoting V's post so I could see it (if anyone would do the same with her later ones I'd be very grateful).

Not an atom of space where there isn't something alive! Our racoons left, thankfully and we have an immature opossum now. The one which was living back there never came up to the house, except when he died! He died by our back door. Maybe to say goodbye and thank you.

The ponds have frogs and toads and dragonflies developing. We handled many rat and corn snakes this year out back and the populations of anoles, fence lizards and skinks is gigantic.

Check your filters. You may have inadvertently put me in the filter.

I didn't use the term "wish." You did. Get over yourself. You have ruined this newsgroup successfully. Congradulations.

What do the words "may they get" at the beginning of a sentence mean if it isn't a wish? Is it a Buddhist thing?

The WHOLE newsgroup? All by myself? Wow. What power you give me. Thanks.
