    Digger, that is ME, too! I want to know why not just how! And, that is also the lesson I stress to my 140 students. Ask and understand why something works and don't just take my word or anybody else's word. OK. I'll take my teacher hat off now. (That is sometimes hard to do; being a teacher pervades all areas of my life.)

    Well, I added water and laid down to read a little while my husband was sleeping ( new job, crazy hours for him, adjustment for us both), and YEP! I fell asleep! Water is up with only about 1 inch in to skimmer. It should be okay, right? I am having kids come tom. they drag water out, crazily!!

    Digger, I don't understand that question about the water in the skimmer, either. Maybe you can clarify it for us.

    In regards to your question about teaching --- I teach math in a middle school. (Although due to illness, this year I only taught the first nine weeks and took the rest of the year off.)

    Sorry, I was so confusing! I was filling up my pool with water, and got too much in it! The hole that goes into the skimmer ( or intake ), hope terms are correct, was almost clear full of water. There is only about a 1 inch opening. I am anticipating a fairly heavy bather load tom., with water getting drug out, so I am guessing it will be okay? Do you think I should drain some out?

    Sorry, still trying to figure out usage here, the last message about teaching was for you.

    What do you teach? That is something I wish I would of did, but too late! I teach children in Sunday School. That is what happens when you get married at 16, and don't realize you have ANY talents until 40! I became a photographer than, and I understand not being able to take the hat off, I eat drink and sleep it, ideas won't stop! Smile!
