    Anybody have any ideas on how to keep an inflatable pool covered? We bought one at Sam's club and I'm planning ahead.

    I learned this from.the woman I nanny for. I bought her a small bouquet of tulips (10 stems), and she put it in a pretty big vase and they looked so full! I noticed at the mouth of.the vase she strung tape from one end to the other making a sort of checkered board and stuck the stems in the openings. it makes the stems stand straight up. it looks so professional and also makes a small bouquet go really far! I hope this description makes sense...

    Depending on the size - what about a fitted sheet?  If it's a small baby one, maybe a crib sheet or a twin size sheet?

    thats it, but with clear tape. Sorry I'm a mobile bumper so I don't know how to post pics...just logged into my iPad to see what you posted! I think the mobile bump curse finally set in to the opera mini Internet app, I can't see any images :(

    We got it a few months ago, but haven't used it yet. I'm hopeful it works, but it doesn't have good reviews.

    We keep a tupperware of frozen citrus peels in the freezer to use as garbage disposal fresheners.  Whenever I put something gross and/or stinky down the disposal, I follow it with a couple of pieces of orange peels, and it keeps it from smelling.

    I'm assuming you mean while filled and/or inflated?  If so, I might try a large tarp.  It would also help to keep the water warm if you keep it filled.
