    I think I prefer McGoOn to McLola, do you think it would be okay if I used that form of address?

    We could perhaps meet in the middle? Greenland? I'll bring the winter woollies!

    I'll confess to some jealousy of water spray man, I'd go break my leg for several weeks by the pool, except that we've already had our 3 days of sunshine for this summer. Wishing you'd lent me your towel all the same! Is it tartan? Haha!

    Anyway, yes, nice to 'meet' you too!
Oh silly me, I'd love to see Greenland! Or better yet, Ireland! I've been to London, and Paris, and Brussels so those are covered! ha.

Sad to hear about the 3 days of sunshine. I love the way you join me in my mind about the pool guy. BTW, although he is tall enough, rather nice looking, and yes, has a great tan, hearing about his vocation as he talks to others surprised me.

Yep, he's a tailor! ha. I could ask him about a kilt for my newest friend, and will try to find out your tartan before I order it!
PS, his ancestors are from your fair isle, and he's definitely kissed the blarney stone, as you clearly have too!
Muah!

    It sounds to me that you've been making great progress since moving to the condo and having the social gatherings at the pool. This year I imagine the summer in Buffalo has been a very comfortable summer for pool activity. Watch out for the young one. Things can happen. love, David
Wish I could send you the gift of easy to haul potable water, dear heart! But if we could come up with the technology, imagine how many people, in so many countries who would benefit!

Again, thanks for your good wishes! Keeping my eyes open for the neighbors grandchildren!

Stay cool!
Lola

    Hey there, love my new handle you've used, and so nice to see you here.

    I've read a lot of your most recent blog posts and laughed out loud, quite a bit. You seem to be someone who'd be a great friend except for all the times food and drink would come flying out of my nose, in response to your observations on human folly!

    Could you move just a bit closer? Ah, didn't think so.

    If you came with me (ha) to a chanting event, I'd be the second person in fits trying to chant. Plus, I'm reassured that I won't have to wear orange or carry the small food bowl!
    So nice to make your virtual acquaintance,
    Cheers,

Ha, well thank goodness it rained here today, or I'd find out for sure whether or not he is coy!

Yes, everyone in the pool says that this is our opportunity to meet and get to know people who will hide out all winter (many fly to Florida and Arizona for the winter) and watch the condo village fill up with snow! That someone else shovels! Ha.

It is a bit like living in a retirement community (but about one third are younger people) and the pool adds a really great dose of Palm Beach that many of us love.
Right GC? I imagine you are getting your sunshine quotient this summer!

    Hey McGoOn, nice post!

    What a shame about Amy, a fantastic talent lost to debauchery sadly. What a voice, what a shame she didn't go on to fulfill her potential.

    I know a fair few buddhists and I'm kind of drawn to the philosophy and approach, but aby time I've chanted it sends me into fits of completely inappropriate laughter. Each to their own, it certainly seems to work for those I know who practice.

    I'm more like Stella788. When it gets hot I stay indoors. I'm not too keen on showing my half-naked body either.

    But staying indoors is fun, especially if it's somewhere I can watch a game and have a beer. It's not as much fun as flirting with 50, 20, and 16 year olds but it works for me.
Hanging in the pool really does diminish the humidity, for whatever reason, or the feeling of it, maybe?
But yes, I can understand the staying inside for sure.

Too bad you deny the denizens at your nearest 'adult' pool, a view of that massively handsome chest, is all I can say!

    Lola, perhaps that fifty-something guy will need help with physical therapy after his leg comes out of the cast; maybe you can help nurse him back to vitality.
Oh so sweet of you, nudging me towards him. He's armed and dangerous - a protector of our roads and highways, and knows people who I know.

I've not yet had the moxie to talk to him about massage, due to his um, high level job and great healthcare plan (I have none of those at the moment).

At this point being as subtle as possible might pay off for me, but probably not. He does attract lots of single ladies with real bikini outfits and mine is a more sedate two-piece, for a good reason.

I tried moving physically closer to him in the pool and noticed that he moved away towards the center of the pool, while a group conversation was going on, and of course I was heart broken. Body language speaks so loudly, and I'd be an ass to ignore it. I will play harder to get, as if that will help! ha.

Lola loses her confidence when half-naked in public. It's true.

    Hm, I think you definitely should chat up the 50ish guy *wink*

    I'm sad about Amy Winehouse too, and was a little upset at the callous comments in the chat room last night (along the lines of, "Another druggie - good riddance"). Sigh.
She certainly used drugs and so did most of the 27 Musicians Club, but golly why did her parents give up on her, too? Big sighs just escaped me...

I am trying to not be the too shy or the too bold one with this gentleman. He had forgotten a towel, and I always bring two, so yes, of course I volunteered mine. I heard a few chuckles as I am so stupidly obvious when I like someone. He brushed it off, no worries, and then when he got out of the pool, he politely asked if he could use my towel. My inner-teenager was delighted.

More on that later... ha.

I do hate the humidity, but when in the pool, I can't really feel it. Why is that? Another of life's imponderables?

Yes, I have used up two bottle of 30 SPF so far, and have recently purchased some expensive (for me) Hempz very water resistant UV-Protective Sunscreen with pure hemp seed oil. The old hippie in me wishes that the hemp was active, but it's not! Darn. Ha.

Foiled again? It seems criminal to close a pool if it's not raining!!

They closed ours due to high school student lifeguards being too busy, or some such folderal, but that got resolved quickly when the board got too much pressure from the elders who need the pool to chill out.

Maybe it's a public pool that you go to? Still political pressure about people's health should keep the pool open! No?

Thank you lovely lady! Yes, I can actually have face to face conversations, and I sure do like it that people can't believe that I am 'that old' ha.

One of my favorites, S. who is 80 this year, loves it when I get into the pool and grab her a noodle and tow her around the pool. It's fun. She has great stories.

You people lover you! Yes, you should definitely join, and then go have some fun meeting and flirting. We both know that they will be shy and retiring, but there will be some fun ones to build a friendship with!

Lola says it must happen! ha.

It was 108 here yesterday. I headed to the pool today - it was closed! Something about rain somewhere in the state I suppose - ERRR - I was so looking forward to seeing the "stripper tits" two-some again!
