The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

Posting on a blog: a funny way of trying to keep things hush-hush ;)

I think this sounds like one for The Mythbusters! So what if it's already been proven wrong? I'd like to see how Jamie and Adam handled it.

I knew there was a good reason why I no longer swim in public pools. At least the ocean has the virtue of greater dilution.

Another myth debunked. I've spent most of my adult life deconstructing everything my father told me, examining it, and discarding it where necessary. Now I know virtually nothing. But it's cool.

Fantastic site. Thanks for the link. Right back At you, dear.

I never peed in the pool. What I did do once, and am now willing to admit since the statute of limitations has expired, was pee in someone's ice cube trays. Immature and disgusting yes but, it makes for fun anecdotes today.

No pee dye. Well, that is a relief.

But there's worse than pee: my daughter was a life gaurd and her suit had the acronym for Park District of our city. Unless you looked really, really closely it looked like it said, "POOP Gaurd." Unfortunately, that would have been accurate. Ewww.

hey there, I noticed some people found me from your site, then I saw that you put me on your blogroll, I'll be happy to return the favor. I'll have your link up this evening.

good day,

maybe someone should invent the pee-dye?

that would be a money maker.

I now have a mission, don't I????

Dam and all those years I got out of the pool.

I figured out there was no pee dye in the pool LONG ago.....

Don't ask for details. :-P

I just peed at my desk. There does not appear to be any dye here--one more safe place.

I was told the same lie but I couldn't help it, I peed anyway. I didn't see any red dye so I found out they were lieing. I don't know what it is about a swimming pool I just have to leave my mark. Meow.

The (nonexistent) dye in question was always referred to by my parents as "Tinkle Tablets" that were dropped into the pool and would cause the pool water to turn blue. It kept me honest, for sure, but I was always a little bit curious and considered on numerous occasions just letting a little pee to see if it really worked.

The solution to polution is dilution.

Then again, if we consider that the bigger the pool; the more kids it can accomodate, it would appear that the ratio of tinkle to pool water would remain the same.

Hmmm... perhaps this is a case for Jamie, Adam, and the build team afterall!

The ocean? What about all the fish pee? Lobster pee? Anemone pee? Pearls aren't the only by-products of oysters, you know, and sponges can only soak up so much.

I told my kids that there really is pee-dye for pools, and it's delivered by Santa Claus as his summer job.

It works the other way around. You make drinks with the dye Methylene Blue in them and the offenders leave a blue cloud around them. Never drink a blue margarita at a pool party if you intend to swim. Just ask anyone who has been to one of my bbqs.
