As well as swimming in it and[gasp!] swallowing some water once and enjoying myself and not glowing in the dark,I simply call the lake a giant prairie slough in JEST. I don't constantly slag something that I am not really familiar with like you have done for years. As well as Doc Stong there have been many studies done by all kinds of scientists and scientific institutions, not just the Uof G, hardly any of which back up your ridiculous unfounded negativity. There is no special event in this foto that you reposted unless you consider the norm of Mexican families doing things together as special. If so, you are not very observant of Mexicans. pedro kertesz But no one swimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHILLIN Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 That is called bathing. Show just one photo of someone swimming the Australian Crawl, the Backstroke, the Sidestroke, the 'improved' Breaststroke, Aquajogging, or even the Dog Paddle, in water that is over their height. Speaking as both a Lifegaurd and Aqua Aerobics instructor dropout. Or as Bubba used to call it, Peoria on the sump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 I remember seeing a picture of Pedro taken on, I believe the first day of January, standing or whatever with water up to or almost up to his neck. I remember the picture well because so many of us thought it was dangerous to do so. It was quite a few years ago near year 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 I just remember that the Picture of Pedro was taken quite a while ago. I don't think it could have been the year the lake was so low. But I am not sure when the picture was taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put on your glasses. the kid on the far right is doing the dog paddle and the kid second from left is doing the backstroke or floating on his back. You probably dropped out when you were 5 years old which qualifies you for nothing related to swimming.I have passed the senor red cross which qualifies me to be a lifeguard and holder of a senor canoeist badge which qualifies me to tip a canoe and tyler too.

Mainecoons Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 After they put more sand on the beach in Chapala I was down there on a warm weekend day and saw quite a few people well into the water and on that beach. Not sure why there's any question about this, the local folks and the GDL weekenders do go swimming in the lake during the summers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to have forgotten that the discussion is about LAKE CHAPALA not a sewage stream where you live which is far from this lake.I and several of us[gasp!] ferners are in one of the fotos frolicking in the lake.

Now you must be running on fumes. Sad. You should feel sorry for yourself about your erratic behaviour but you have proven time and again that there is something wrong with your wiring so that, and you stopping your BSing has become an impossibility. Actually it's been your modus operandi for about 20 years so seeking professional help for what at the very least are some personality disorders would be to late now. 11 minutes ago, Whipstock said: You certainly seem to enjoy posting attention craving pictures and statements about yourself.

AndyPanda Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 This has been argued about for decades... by expats. So far, no reports of people sick or dead from frolicking in the lake.

CHILLIN Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 There is a new film "The Father", starring Anthony Hopkins which is about facing Dementia, and he moves in with his daughter. He handles the plot with a sensitivity that only a very skilled actor can summon. Still the angry outbursts, the slowly increasing confusion. Apparently, there hasn' t been a movie like this in a very long time. The last I remember was Norman, in "The Golden Pond" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
