We have one of these the, one with the filter, for our 9 year old. It's perfect for her & a couple of her friends. But not so much for an adult.

It's nice because all you have to do to set it up is blow up the ring, place it on a level spot and fill it with water. The bad part is it looks so trashy sitting out in the backyard, but I have it in a place where none of the neighbors can see it. :) It holds about 650 gallons and is sometimes hard to get the water quality right. I found this site that has become very helpful in figuring out small chemical quantities. http://www.poolsolutions.com/gd/kiddiepool.html

If I have to get another one in the future I'm not sure what I'd get, I know I would get something bigger though.

thanks LIAG...we have one that is similar to that, with the blow up ring...I think it's a 14 foot, so it's big enough for even adults to sit in it and cool off. The ring has a small leak in it that has been challenging to find!!

Some days, I'm tempted to buy one of those hard plastic kiddie pools at Walmart, go home, fill it up and just sit in it and have a beer.

Were I not going out of town this weekend, that would sound like a Memorial Day well spent.

My parents used to throw parties when I was a kid. I remember coming home from visiting at my Granny's for the weekend and there would be like 3 or 4 drunk men in my kiddie pool. It used to make me so mad.

I had this problem. The cat got in the pool (of her own free will, I wish I had a video) and when she got out she put a small, small hole in the ring. They're next to impossible to find!

ya...tried the soap...old time leak finder! even used some indstrial leak detector...but the damn hole(s) are sooooo damn small!

Here is what you do, fill the inflatable part of the pool with water, find out where the water is coming out and plug it.

Do not ask me how in the hell you are going to fill that thing with water. However if you figure out a way then I am sure this suggestion will work.

You are very welcome.

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
