Thread: The contents of my skimmer box

There's an obvious danger in covering the contents of both the skimmer box and the POPS on the same thread.

^ I'm aware of that, but I don't think I've got enough material for two separate threads Cyrille. Let's face it, I'm struggling with just the one thread.

My hope is that one day, the wife to leave her diet of daytime TV and venture outside while the pool is being cleaned. Once she discovers the rich bounty the skimmer box has to offer she may thereafter offer to empty it every day. Two birds with one stone.

A dollop of pla ra will soon mask any chlorine taint to those frogs.

A few years in back Isaan and she's completely regressed to her natural state. It would make quite an interesting case study if it wasn't so tragic.

Intriguing thought…

Pla ra was probably tough to get in Oz. How many years did it take for the regression to be complete would you reckon?

^ About 12 minutes, give or take.

By the time we passed immigration the regression was complete.

^ It really is amazing.

My wife transforms from a meek and mild Thai lady in the West to a screaming tyrant in Thailand, all within around 25 minutes and 500 metres at Suvarnamhumi.

You're killing me man. I am laughing pretty hard. Is that an Isaan thing? My wife is almost exactly opposite. While we were in the US she worked a lot and that was her money. When we moved back here and she couldn't get back to the hospital to work she spends a lot of time trying to save us money which I let her do her thing. Its her contribution and she is amazingly diligent about it. She works around the house as much as I do. She never reverted back to being a hardcore Thai.

Btw, skimmer box empty again. Absolutely nothing

It could be worse....it could be 5 minutes and 100m. Do you think she feels more in control when she's on her home turf?

Indeed. Clearly they are all not the same. .

Can someone tell seeking oblivion?

Surely it will be a big help.

For everyone.

Pretty desperate when going French Canadian.....but I completely understand. It could be worse though...an American wearing a trump t-shirt.
