thats why I stay in the shalow end twinkie lol

I'm not a shallow kind of girl, Tinog! hehehe... But aparently I'm also not a strong swimmer! 

I had a near death experience once the only thing I had time to think about was being glad my son wasn't with me. A drunk driver hit this huge SUV sending it full force towards me and my Lancer. It was coming right towards me and then it just stopped. It was a miracle.

 Well you learned  two really important lesson's! 

1: never swim when no ones around ALWAYS HAVE A BUDDY.

2: Your body tells you things for your own personal safety HEED THEM! If you are tired and  feel a burn IN WATER?  STOP  go relax. The main person people die in water (like Kern river) is they grow weary of trying to fight the pull of the water.

As an extra, no drinking and swimming or being near water, you are asking for death.

But I am like you in those life flashing before you situations.  Who will clean the toilets, who will wash the clothes, the house, the yard work who who who!!!  No not  some wise old owl.

I sit by  the steps with my Bud Light under the umbrela water to my belly nice and cool with all my family around . I dont wana drown lol.

I swam alone on Waimea Bay Hawaii  in the winter of 1972 ,when the waves a very high,  drunk, and high on pot, when I was a young 19 year  Marine almost died . tought me, 1. never swim alone and 2. thats why they have the surfing championships there every year . lol

You my friend are and international man of myster and intrgue!

You big risk taker you!

And always remember, the pee is silent, as in pswimming.

I had a near death experience in the river while toobing. My husband's family came into town about 6 years ago. They begged for me to go and I did. As soon as we hit the first set of rapids I fell in and the current took me under. I couldn't breath and I panicked. " I remember hearing my mom's voice saying "If you can't find your way out of the water, just look for the bubbles."  I remember that conversation she had with someone about drowning when I was about 7 years old and that popped into my head. My husband's friend was the one who saved me and I was very grateful. That's why I respect our river enough, never to get in. But they still come down every year and go toobing and I always worry, because my husband goes with them.

Lomel.... you didn't have a life jacket on? I would NEVER get into any body of water without a life jacket. Well, from reading my bloggy now you know why, right? LOL I'm not a strong swimmer. But I'm trying to build up to it so we'll see! 

josey.. holy shit girl. That is SCARY!!! 

john...you are such a wealth of information. Thank you so much for sharing your words of wisdom.

tinog.. sounds like MY typical Sunday afternoon! hahaha... this weekend, however I was trying to be a little more active.

Gramps... YES... yes it is! tee hee.... they should invent something that makes your pee change colors in the pool so we could call you out if you pee. hhahahahah that would be funny!

I always thought they had something to show you peed,..like a  trail following you all over the place? haha

A trail IN the pool? 

Watching Discovery Channel recently, it showed a tiny kind of catfish in the Amazon, that if you pee, it will follow the stream right up inside your bladder, hurts like hell, and requires surgery to get it out.  OUCH.

OUCH grandpsdon makes me not wana pee out side no mo ha ha ha or at least not into a stream of water lol

What Don says is true ,.it's a very tiny fish,.. capable of swimming up the urine stream. It has spiny fins that  once inside your urethra  it lodges its self in , buries those spinney fins in deep and will not come out with surgical asst. not good at all :( So if you go to the Amazon,...no peeing in the pond ;)
