Darn, I’m too late to attend! Would love to meet y’all sometime soon. Are there any other retreats/get-togethers aside from summer time?
I've heard some talk of perhaps a NE retreat some time this fall. Those in the know should respond to your post here. You certainly missed a great one!Darn, I’m too late to attend! Would love to meet y’all sometime soon. Are there any other retreats/get-togethers aside from summer time?
I think I still like the libertarian candidate!
LOL Care to expound on that comment?!?I do have one complaint about retreat. I think some of you did not take your mandatory shower before entering the pool!

I think I was late to the show the first day, and failed to shower, but I made up for it the second day by taking a ten second shower.Before swimming in the pool you were required to shower for I think 5 seconds or something in one of the showers on each side of the diving board. It gives me no pleasure to report this but there were some REBELS in our group who jumped into the pool without showering first despite the clear instructions. I know. Shocking.

Once again, I failed to read the instructions, so I'm among the guilty.Before swimming in the pool you were required to shower for I think 5 seconds or something in one of the showers on each side of the diving board.

LOL !!! @AmbassadorforChrist. It sure was great to have you and your whole family at retreat! Not sure @cnystrom was wanting a head countI think I was late to the show the first day, and failed to shower, but I made up for it the second day by taking a ten second shower.![]()
Again--LOL! Can't tell you how many times I tell my students with a really big smile, "When all else fails, read the directions." I can just imagine one of them saying with a puzzled look on their face--so what's the diff? There's CO2 there (pointing to the shower) and CO2 there (pointing to the pool). "And 5 seconds--ya gotta be kidding me!??! That's not even long enough to get all of me wet!" "Ya know how bad I am at math--counting never did come easy to me so figured I'd skip the hard part!" "Reading???? What's that--oh yeah, dearing--hmmm--it just didn't make sense so I figured 'what the heck!'" Yeah--I know I'm having some fun with this. Hope ya'll don't mind.Once again, I failed to read the instructions, so I'm among the guilty.
CO2? I didn't see any CO2!I can just imagine one of them saying with a puzzled look on their face--so what's the diff? There's CO2 there (pointing to the shower) and CO2 there (pointing to the pool). "And 5 seconds--ya gotta be kidding me!??!
Laughter is so good for the soul!! That's a good one!CO2? I didn't see any CO2!Also I read the instructions, and I didn't see anything saying people had to shower first!
It was great being there! I definitely look forward to going to more! I think the 5 second shower was a verbal request from the lifeguard, and therefore I don't think anyone should be held to it.LOL !!! @AmbassadorforChrist. It sure was great to have you and your whole family at retreat! Not sure @cnystrom was wanting a head countbut at least you've been the man and "fessed up. Hope you enjoyed the swims! Blessings!
Oh, yeh--I'm sure you're really laughing!! I should have said H2O!! What do I know about science?!? I DO know the difference--forgive me.CO2? I didn't see any CO2!Also I read the instructions, and I didn't see anything saying people had to shower first!
I showered and I didn’t even go in the pool.
That should give someone else a pass.
@Keith Martin , we can negotiate.

You got the picture!This is reminding me of carbon offsets. If I have something of value to you, I could trade it to you, @steve, then you could trade me your shower offset, thus endowing me with the means to virtue signal my pool-swimming righteousness!
For sure!OK, @rejoicinghandmaid, it looks like your mind was headed in the same twisted direction as mine (carbon offsets for carbon dioxide). As the owner of a school, though, I'm sure you realize that water is H2O rather than CO2!
