Which was more difficult for you at the pool

@rinkydinkydoink My problem wasn't that at all. I wanted to play in it all day. I was a perma prune from being in it so much lol

@ThesebootsRhungry

You musta been a delightful child - yours is BC!

@rinkydinkydoink Awe thank you. My momma would agree with you. I was a shy, only child that kept to myself. I was quite an inquisitive little girl.

@SomeMichGuy Nearly as far south on the West Coast of the US as you can get.

Not " WALL" close ...but close. 😊

@Punxi I made the mistake of going in at Santa Cruz. It took a few ms to understand why sunning was the main activity there--the water was about the temperature of Lake Superior in late August ("too f-ing cold").

I noticed surfers even S of LA using wet suits. So I'm guessing you were S of the base (Pendelton)...there are a lot of places between there and Torrey Pines...

@PerfectionOfTheHeart

Come to think of it, that probably did take a lot of guts to do as a tot. My first experience happened when the little boat my dad, sister and I were in capsized in the Grand River, Ontario when I was 4... shortly after this my parents enrolled me in a learn-to-swim class at our municipal pool.

@rinkydinkydoink So glad they did that. What a scary moment.

@rinkydinkydoink but my mom loved wine 🤣

@fun4us2b @fun4us2b

Not fun.
At all.

@rinkydinkydoink Thanks; Franklin was quite the guy.

@SomeMichGuy

I want to activate the thumbs up emoji but three times in a row the surprised looking face reared its ugly head...

@rinkydinkydoink Hey, no prob, and thanks! 😊
