Electrical cords in the Water

[Hampton]

But frankly its posts like yours that agitate John, and then he snaps at someone like me who has a rational response, because he thinks people are ganging up on him.

What? Are you a psychiatrist or something? You're right, my bad. Apologies.

People have been known to be electricuted by swimming near the boats in marinas.

I honestly hadn't thought about that!!! I've swum (swimmed?) near our dock (see lost sunglasses, deck brush...). Also, we have divers cleaning boats. Also, we had some snorkelers stabbing fish the other day. Hey, I'm a frickin' hero (TIC).

BTW: on a personal note John, thank you for your service to this country. I have never been in the military, but have great respect for those who sacrifice all they hold dear so that we may continue to live the American Dream.

Not required. Thanks. The ones to really acknowledge are the young kids over in Iraq losing life and limb in great sacrifice for us back here arguing about how to get to the beach. I, too, thank them for their true sacrifice.

This is my last statement on this issue. Let me pre-emptively apologize to anyone who takes offense. I hereby regret such slander and deeply regret any pain or hardship it causes to those who view it or their relatives past or present, and promise never to repeat such slander in the future. That being said...

That's funny stuff right there that is.

Amen!

Wow. Don't read for a day. . .and look what crops up!! This thread is all over the place and yet. . . .more or less on topic.

FWIW: If any part of *my* electrical cords were in the water, I would *appreciate* the cord being brought out of the water, even if it meant being unplugged.

I recognize that having my power cord replaced is not as clean cut. .. . but on balance I would say "thanks" to the person who did it - - > and offer compensation for the cord (i.e. it is only fair to pay for the darn cord which is now powering my boat!).

- - - - - - -

I think both posts by Wesley in this thread are very much appropriate.

I'm not posting on this thread. It would be safer climbing the utility pole and restoring the power to our house myself than to present an argument here.

Best regards,

Wow, astounding 22 posts out of a total of 91 for Hampton. That's almost one out of every four. (Or 24.17582% for those of you not in the military) Put me outside the circle with Dave on this one. And pass the Lithium.

I think lithium is administered as some form of drug for some form of... Never mind. The internet wins:

"Lithium is used to treat the manic episodes of manic depression - hyperactivity, rushed speech, poor judgment and aggression. Includes lithium side effects, ..."

PLEASE don't let this thread end! It's been the highlight of my day recently. I'm not looking forward to the withdrawal symptoms like I experienced when Garys vacation thread ended last year. So..... is it OK to unplug someone else's power cord?

No... Well,, maybe... Yes... It depends... ...but definatly yes if the boat is on fire... ...but at that point...

Maybe someone who knows for sure will enlighten us...
