Pool liner - dry rotted or chemical burn?

The first two pictures were taken on Friday...  Pool company finally showed up today and said since the chlorine tablet floater got stuck on the top step it created a chemical burn and it can not be repaired,  have to replace the entire liner!   When I got home from work,  using a head lamp I checked it out and the last two pictures were taken @ 7:30.  I don't see any evidence of a chemical burn.   The only hole is the same as the first 2 pictures.

Fractured tailbone - what a pain in my a$$!

It's been 9 weeks since I fractured my tailbone... How much longer do I have to wait for it to heal?  Does anyone know of any self rehabilitation exercises?  It still hurts to sit on a hard bar stool (anything not cushioned) and reclining in bed!  I am so tired of not being able to perform my normal routine and activities and especially tired of having to be  careful to not over do it.   I also hate not being able to wear heels every day... Flats just don't look good with everything and Well, I just prefer them,  more professional in my opinion.   Okay, now that I have vented I feel somewhat better,  LOL!

looking for female relative of Sadie Purdy Foster Flook Latham that is in the attached photo from 3/27/40

The black & white photo was taken 3/27/1940 and was found in my Grandma's photo album next to a pic of me that was taken in 1992.  The other photo, taken in May 1980, is of me (age 10) sitting on my Great Aunt Barbara's lap and my hand is on my Grandpa's (Henry I Latham) hand.  Everyone is baffled by this photo b/c it looks like my twin, only it was taken 30 years before I was born.  Most of the family believes she is from my Great Grandmother's side (Sadie Purdy Foster, Flook, Latham 2/20/1882 - 3/8/1965). From her first husband, Herbert John Flook (12/7/1882 - 1/24/1914) she had 2 children that survived: Herbert Sheldon Flook and Lillian Marguerite Flook. She married Fred Leroy Latham (7/9/1859 - 12/14/1926) on 9/4/1920 and had 3 children: Henry I Latham, Raymond E Latham, and Agnes R Latham.  3 days ago I started a 14 day free membership on ancestry.com and haven't been able to solve the mystery yet.  Any and All help will be greatly appreciated!
Feel free to look my family tree up on ancestry.com - Chanly1221 - Ocala, FL.  If you can help me fill in the blanks, or direct me to another source of information, again, any and all help will be greatly appreciated!  I just have to find out who is in this picture, if she is still alive, and if so, where she is so I can meet her! 
Looking forward to hearing from you!
