Hey guys! Are you looking for the easiest way to remove hair before your next big meet? :banana: Wookiee, do I have a solution for you! Just come pay a visit to Elaine-iaK, here in Georgia, and I will get you in on a pass to our community pool. No razors, no Nair, no nothin'. All you need to do is swim in our pool and the hair removal will be done for you, pain-free! :agree: Just make sure to wear a cap, if you plan on keeping the hair on your head. :afraid:
This past week, tapering for St. Nick's, I swam exclusively at our pool, rather than commuting an hour roundtrip to train with my coach. And, during this past week, I lost all of the hair on my arms, half of my eyebrow hair (some broke off, other hairs turned white at the tips:censor:), and the hair in front of my ears that sticks out of my cap turned brown with white ends. (I have black hair, normally!) My Speedo Endurance has held up :bow:, but the stitching is starting to come out. Meanwhile, I have watched one of the noodler's suit turn from navy blue to light gray.
Needless to say, our chlorine and other chemical levels have gone way out of wack while our maintenance guy has been :bed:. But, the pool maintenance company guys heard allll about it, when I saw them today. :D
So, while they are trying to correct the problem, come on down to Georgia for the easiest hair removal ever! And, don't worry about clogging the drains, Wookiee; it will give our maintenance guy something to do. :bolt:
I guess when the "little old ladies" with the floaties and water aerobics start noticing that the skirts on their suits are turning colors and they're missing hair from parts of their body that have hair--then maybe something will be done.
What about contacting the dept of health even though it isn't a public pool? They could shut it down (and fine the HOA if it stays open) until the tests can be repeated by the dept of health lab.
You bet I will be contacting the health department! I had the water test done on Friday, and, at that point, I was told the HOA would have our pool company come back out to check the water. So, contacting the health department was premature. But, yesterday (Saturday), I was told they DID come back out and everything was "fine". So, they are "trusting" the company and keeping the pool open. Now it's the weekend and nothing can be done. :bouncing: And, Chrismtas is right around the corner. If I can't reach anybody on Monday, I will try first thing on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the noodlers have complained to the HOA, as well. :D Two of the ladies who were most vocal about getting swimmers banned from the pool during their classes actually agree with me on this issue and have made their opinions known to the HOA. And, they brought their destroyed suits with them for show-and-tell. One lady has lost four suits and the other two, since the chemical balance started going south.
Today, I had my husband photograph my eye brows (or, more accurately, lack thereof... :bitching: ) and the hair in front of my ears not covered by my cap. (The hair that used to be black and is now brown at the top and white at the ends.) This is all documentation if needed for future reference...
