1. Our lovely neighbors left there xmas lights up the whole year.

2. no. it will freeze/expand and crack whatever it is inside of possibly.

3. only minor pain. I usually just stretch or make someone give me a back rub.

2. Yes - most pools will collapse if left without water for any length of time.

how the hell is it built in the first place if it's going to collapse at any given moment?

I didn't say "at any given moment". Without the force of the water pushing back out against the pool walls, the walls will collapse. I own a pool where we get 180 inches of snow each year. It is frozen right now and has every winter for the last 10 years. If I were to drain the pool before winter it would most likely be unusable in the Spring.

i think they mean above ground instead of inground

Depending on the ground conditions and the type of pool you might have to worry about an inground pool floating up if it's left empty for too long.

perhaps they've been busy.
i don't understand why people bitch about their neighbors having decorations up.

1. They don't want to let go of that feeling... of laziness.
2. IMO, no. Unless you live in a place that doesn't freeze. Although an ice rink in your backyard would be pretty cool...
3. Yes. Stretching and massage.

you should really call the police and have them check on your neighbors. what if they're dead?

yes, esp inground pools. because of the pressure from the ground and any underground water that may freeze and put pressure on the foundation of the pool it's best to keep them full during winter.

no.

1. Because they're too lazy to put it all away.
2. I am not sure how easy it is to drain them.
3. Yes. I have big boobs. I usually just take some ibuprophen and get on with it.

Either because they haven't had the time to take them down or because they're still enjoying them. We haven't taken down our Christmas decorations/tree.

No.

No, I don't.

1) They think it's still Christmas
2) Yes, so that cats can practice swimming
3) No, it's usually mid or lower back pain

A previous poster replied:
"no. it will freeze/expand and crack whatever it is inside of possibly."

It's good that they qualified that by adding "possibly".

I've never drained MY pool, and it freezes on a regular basis in the winter. Many of my neighbors own pools, and none of them drain their pools in the winter, either. It IS a good idea to drain the filter unit, as that WILL crack.

1) Depends. Sometimes they get busy. Sometimes they are LAZY.

2) Depends on where you are. Here, it would be nice to take a swim once in a while. But we did get a decent amount of snow one day.

3) I have all over back pain. Stupid back pain. Anyway. I find that finding a belly dancing and/or Yoga routine keeps my pain down and works out my muscles nicely.

Also, vicodin.

I'm pretty weak, so taking a swim in 60 degree weather freaks me out.

I like the water. If I could get away with it I would live in water. It feels good on my muscles and it's so soft. I hate heat. I hate living in the desert. D:

We are taking ours down today (we just have the xmas tree, no lights). It was barely Three Kings Day (or Epiphany) on Tuesday (the official end of the holiday season, at least 'round these parts), so we're not procrastinating that much!

For the pool, I have no idea. It doesn't really freeze over here.

I get massages.

In america, I think the celebration of 3 kings day may be rare.

3. No. Better posture, probably.
