One 100 free to go in set. Two open lanes.(no lane lines in pool) Noodler comes over to stand in my lane to talk with friend. Pool is set at 85 degrees cause all the noodlers say it is to cold otherwise. I complain to guard, am told, "well there are a lot more of them then there are lap swimmers" Wont be if they keep this up. UGH! :frustrated:
I enjoy the stories, but the large blue comic sans text has got to stop.
You know - I'm not 100% certain - but you can probably block that somewhere in the userCP (just like you can in the blogs). I would go through all of those screens first. Then you only have to worry about the BB code in your replies.

If you figure it out, will you please pass the info. on to Geek and Wookiee so they can stop griping to me about it? :bitching:
Thanks!

I know this isn't probably the place to ponder this - but I wonder what the effect is psychologically on an adult swimming with the kids like you are and vice versa. Both yours and their behaviors are (in my opinion) BOUND to altered, especially if you're not just some slow lady who HAPPENS to be in the pool with them.
My guess is the fact that you swim with a bunch of fast energetic kids has actually pushed you UP in your speed closer to your theoretical limit. Not to mention - like you said, they keep you young because they probably accept you as "one of them"
In the reverse I can imagine the children probably act (marginally) less stupid. You probably come through as a very positive role model. They probably are (marginally) more attentive and (again, marginally) more focused during their actual swim sets...
Thoughts? Ideas? Rebuttals?
Okay, I had to laugh as I read this. I can see your point but I have a kid side to me that seriously comes out at times during my team practices. It doesn't help that, at times, our coach is a goof ball and I have a 5 year old so I have to be like a kid at times.
Oh the other hand, yes, I do act sort of like a "mom" to them but only when absolutely needed. If the coach gets upset, I'm usually the first one to start telling them to chill and listen to him or that we need to stop what we're doing and act right. But that's only if needed and very rare. I don't like to do that since I do want to be "one of them".
As for my speed, I don't know. I'm still setting personal bests and still feel like I can do more. I'm swimming faster now than I was in HS.
If you figure it out, will you please pass the info. on to Geek and Wookiee so they can stop griping to me about it? :bitching:
Thanks!

Personally, I prefer the color here and above. And, Geek? I suggest you take you own advice and ignore my posts.
Big print means you are shouting. I use big letters every once in a while.
Help - Help - Help - my coffee is cold.
Well, George, ALL CAPS like this means you're shouting. If I use a font larger than this with all caps, it's because I am using it for emphasis or shouting!
George, do you have a microwave oven? About 45 seconds on high should take care of the problem. :anim_coffee:
Because it is the single most despised typeface, and for good reason.

Well, I'm not going to weigh in on the typeface thing b/c I don't really care what Elaine uses. But I thought this was funny:
YouTube - Hitler freaks out over Comic Sans MS
Thank you for the info 45 seconds, now it is perfect for drinking. You are a wealth of information.
:anim_coffee: Enjoy your hot :coffee:coffee, George!
