I love reading about your Bubba Pool.
We had a member years ago that would start a thread called "Pool Party" or "Party At ...you fill in whatever name or place..." Those threads were a huge hit and nearly everyone got involved.
People would post what they were bringing to the online party.....what they were wearing.....who they'd be bringing with them, etc.....
After a few post you really actually felt like you were there at the party! It was a lot of fun and got our minds off our aches and pains.
Here is one of the old posts getting the party started.......
