Obviously your son is well aware of the expense and problems that go
hand in hand with owning a pool.

I don't think he'd be able to afford one for quite a while. He just noticed the pool,
and thought it was cool. One big expense is a huge increase in homeowner's
insurance.

Absolutely an increase in his homeowner's insurance. That along with
required fencing because you never know when some curious neighborhood
kids who are attracted to a pool in the heat of summer might wander in.
It's got to be secure. Not to mention the cost of the algae retardent
chemicals, cleaning the filters, constantly skimming the pool for
falling leaves. Then draining and covering the pool when winter rolls
around. It's a lot of work. Might look like fun in the Summer until he
gets down to the constant maintenance only to find it's only being used
a few months out of the year.

But it's worth it when he gets nearly naked 65 year old babes like
you come and splash.

And no way he can get you elderly whores pregnant!

Costs a whole lot less for a nicer and much better maintained pool
along with all the acouterments (showers, steamroom, sauna, gym, etc.)
by joining the local Y and the membership is a tax write off as part
of your medical expense (Silver Sneakers) membership is ~50/month.
Pools are typically indoors, some facilities have indoor and outdoor
pools. There are lifeguards and also instructors for water aerobics
classes, some teach SCUBA. The one here has an indoor ice skating
rink.

That's nice for you, Sheldon. Bryan's son isn't a member of AARP, I
doubt he's looking for medical tax write-offs at his age, either.

Heck, even I'm not a member of AARP. The discounts you get are
mostly redundant if you already have a AAA membership, and while
I may be old, I'm almost 5 years from being retired, barring a
death that I would see as tragic rather than fortunate. My wife's
parents have money, but I love them both dearly. One of the joys
of my, and especially my wife's life, is bringing them lovingly made
food.

My wife made this today for their dinner:

I don't like sweet potatoes, but if any of you do, this turned
out great. Her parents agreed.

We don't take the tax write off because we don't use the facility
often enough to qualify. However the pool is very nice and well
maintained. Having ones own pool at home is a major expence and
doesn't pay in a cold climate yet people here do have outdoor pools,
they close them down for winter. Because of all the shark sightings
more people have put pools in at home. Before my wife had her knee
replacement surgery she took the water aerobics classes, helped some
but eventually she needed the surgery.
