What a perfect night for tubbing...last night the moon was fantastic, the air temp was about 29 degrees and I headed out by myself to soak away my arthritis pain...My husband was reluctant to leave his Eagles game, but soon joined me. Full moon soaks are the best!
We came in and sat by the fire and dried off and then watched the very end of the football game... talk about a nice night....and a perfect ending to the game!.. ;) Man I really love my tub :) and my football team that wins..once in a blue (full) moon! ;D

IT must be getting close to when Santa walks down the sidelines at Lincoln?
::)
Ooops. I checked the schedule. the Eagles are away until after christmas....
-
Hey Drew, Rocky was there....in an Eagles Jacket, no less.
My kid just loves Sly, so he thought it was so cool. My husband, on the other hand was angry that the commentators were more interesed in Rocky VI than Brian Westbrook's rushing yards! >:(
Obviously you don't know Santa's history with Eagles fans... ;D
-
I was half watching the game at the pub last night. I saw Stallone. cripes...but he's out pushing his new Rocky movies.
They did a short piece on Santa, which reminded me to give you a hard time. Unless you are going to claim santa and the eagle fans get along just fine.... ;)
-
Football aside....I went out last night and soaked with my son. The full moon and cold fall air was OUTSTANDING :D
-
that is nice I do agree
-
Totally agree about last night. Full moon, roof tops covered with Christmas lights and a cold Bud Select. Wonder what all the rich folks did last night?? ::)

You beat me to it Bonibelle. I was going to start a similar topic. It was by far my favorite soak yet. The moon was full, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, and it was 20 degrees. The only thing missing was my woman :-*. :'(
-
Tileman, sometimes it is nice to be alone...when hubby came out - he took MY favorite seat...I knew if I started talking football he would reduce his soak time out of pure curiosity and I could hit that seat!
Sometime you have to be a bit manipulative. If he only knew he could have watched the game through the window... ;)
-
Who needs a full moon? I moon the neighbors every night! ;D ;D
Well, actually I don't have any neighbors, but the woodland critters get a kick out of it!
-
When the moon is full I like to howl at it ... and blame the dog. ;D
Actually it was a pretty night last night!
I know where your coming from Boni about soaking alone but I get lonely out there by myself ALL THE TIME.
Oh well...
-
Awh, Vinny... you get lonely, how sweet?
SOMEBODY GO SOAK WITH VINNY, OK?
I think you should throw a hot tub party and invite everyone on this forum.
I would come if you weren't so far away and lived where it's really cold.

I'm with you, Vinny. My B/F just does not appreciate hot water the way I do, at least not daily. And I think howling at the moon is invigorating, though I admit that I haven't done it for years. I grew up with crazy uncles and a father who would do it all the time........I thought all families had big barbeques, drank too much beer and howled at the moon...... ::)
If you haven't tried it, dont knock it!

that moon was shining bright last night when I got home from a meeting. I heard this loud sound coming from the woods. It was kind of a growling screeching/scream sound. Nothing that I have ever heard before...anyway I had second thoughts about the tub last night..that sound really freaked me out. I know it was an animal but I don't think we have wild cats or cougars around...so whoooooo knows what it was??? :o
-
I know here in MA fisher cats (nasty weasles) hunt at night. I hope if what you heard was something was being hunted, it wasn't someone's pet. :-/
The nights here in MA have been cold! 20 degrees and clear, clear skys with a full bright moon. The other night, the moon was so bright, while looking out the bedroom window before hitting the sack, I thought I had left the back light on after my soak. I trugdged downstairs, and out and around to the back door by the tub to double check the light. Nope. It was off. It was just the moon. - Amazingly bright. It was stunning.

I wish I had woods by my house with animals growling at night.
It was probably something much smaller than a cougar. It is amazing how BIG a creature can sound when it is either in distress or being territorial or whatever. Doubtfully anything to worry about unless it wants to use your tub.
-
What ever it was, it was in distress. I probably should have tried to find it...I just had no idea of what it could have been...It sounded cat like but very loud.
Geeeeze, I hope that wasn't Vinny I heard!
-
Naw, I have been feeling like garbage the past few days ... I haven't been anywhere near the other side of Philly!
Based on what you heard, I guess instead of howling at the moon I better get out there and mark my territory, now where did I put my gallon jug of water ...
-
Why do you need a jug to mark your territory? I hear marking your territory keeps the deer away....

I need something inputted to be able come out when I mark... No input, no output.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh I get it............... duhhhh:-[ ;D ;D ;D

Don't worry MLG it takes everyone a while to get some of Vinny's jokes. I've been around here for more than a year and still don't catch some of them. Once you get the hang of it though you find yourself ROFL quite often.

Bonnibelle,
If the screaming sound sorta sounded like a old lady screaming it might have been a bobcat. They will send shivers up and down your spine when they scream. We have quite a few here in upstate NY. Nothing to worry about from them as they are usually not much bigger than a full sized house cat and don't like to be seen but aren't shy about screaming in the night. It was a great night to soak and I kept thinking the following: When the moon hits the sky like a big pizza pie it's "AMORE"

I get a kick out of stupid jokes. My wife just shakes her head and my sons roll their eyes.
Not everyone understands them or appreciates them but luckily for me I work with a bunch of guys who crack stupid jokes all day long.
If it gets someone to laugh or smile - great!
-
I thought I saw a bobcat about a month ago. everybody kept telling me I was dreaming...no way,,but the cat I saw was much bigger than a normal house cat with pointy ears and a stump for a tail.
It did really sound like a scream of distress. If there were bobcats around wouldn't we see them or hear them more often?
I was wondering if a fox could make that kind of sound if it was hurt...oh well who knows..I just knew I didn't want to be out hearing that and not knowing what it was!...or where it was :o :o
-
Bonibelle,
You might have seen a bobcat. Your description sounds like a bobcat. They can be as big as 30-40lbs but not usually. The bobcat covers a large area and are very nocturnal. They are rarely seen in the wild but that doesn't mean they are not there. I have one that comes around every couple of years. I hear ir but only got a glimpse of it once at night. If you did see one consider yourself lucky as it doesn't happen very often.
-
I'm guessing bobcat too. I'm still envious! They are extremely reclusive, so if it was a bobcat, you have nothing to worry about.
-
Now I need to get Galen to tell me how to set up a night vision camera so I can see if it could be a bobcat!
Last night I got a tearful call from a good friend and her daughter. She had hit a red fox, it was alive and seemed stunned. She was sobbing and I had no idea of what to do. After a few calls I was able to contact an animal rehabilitator who told me to wait until morning to go looking for the injured fox. I wasn't off that call when my friend called back to say the fox got up, walking pretty wobbly and then trotted off into the woods. I hope he was just stunned and not suffering. :'(
I called her this morning and made her swear that he ran off and that she wasn't trying to make me feel better, but she said he ran under a fence and into the woods.
Guess I have really taken this thread way off track...sorry

Habitat
Bobcats are found in almost all types of habitat -- except metropolitan areas -- especially in mountains and even in desert areas where water is available. In fact it ranges through all four deserts of the American Southwest, but favors rocky, brushy hillsides on which to live and hunt.
Description
The name Bobcat may have originated from its short tail, which is only 6 or 7 inches long. The end of its tail is always black, tipped with white, which distinguishes the Bobcat from its northern cousin, the Canadian Lynx, whose tail is tipped solid black.
The Bobcat has long legs and large paws. Large specimens can weigh up to 30 pounds, but the average Bobcat is only 15 to 20 pounds. The Bobcat's growls and snarls are so deep and fearsome, particularly when hidden from view, that one gets the mis-impression it must be a Mountain Lion.
Geographic variations have some effect on their color. Those found in timber and heavy brush fields are darker with rust-colored tones, while those found in the Great Basin area of northeastern California generally are a paler tawny-gray, often with a complete absence of spots on the back and less distinct markings. The coat in wintertime is a beautiful fur.
