Hi,

That might work, but it also might be making a big thing out of nothing.  If 
I were you Joe Elizabeth, I'd let her call cps if she wants to.  It will 
only look bad for her in the end.  I also wouldn't let her threats stop me 
from using the pool and taking Sara there if you want to.  It's summer, and 
hot, so why shouldn't you use the same facilities everyone else does for 
keeping you and your family cool.

Tammy
