"Are you folks veering slightly off the moon topic?"

Not really it's just become Tony's moon!

[nONIE]

Sorry, it was so ripe for the picking and the Manischewitz had everything to do with it! LOL

[Boomer]

Nuthin' wrong with a little veering.

Nuthin' wrong with a little Manischewitz.

Nuthin' wrong with a little howlin' at the moon.

But I do think Tony should have to read the poem all over again. And maybe record it so that we could click on something here on TOTV and be spellbound by his poetic interpretation of that whole "ribbon of moonlight" story. And he should make galloping sound effects, too.

I am really starting to suspect that you women are talking in some kind of code, tribal stuff that men don't understand for I am very lost and very afraid.

Crevice? Poetic interpretation? Galloping hooves?

Is this code something that is passed between women, and daughters, in the women's magazines? Like the fabric softener territory-marking thing?

Yes, Tony.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.

UU,

You drove me to Amazon with that title. -- Interesting.

But I think I know what Tony meant about the "fabric softener territory marking thing."

Supposedly, single men do not use fabric softener. Therefore, if a man's clothes smell of fabric softener, he is married. The theory is that women use fabric softener to mark their territory. You know, kind of a "better not come sniffin' around my man" thing.

Well, we sure did jump track in this one. Can you imagine what could happen if we met up in a blue moon, even once.

......and I think it was all Tony's fault.

Boomer, Thanks for the info on the fabric softener. I never heard that, but it makes sense. I thought Tony meant that dryer sheets would keep bunnies and raccoons out of the garden!

We sure did jump the track -- or the ribbon of moonlight. FYI there really will be a blue moon this year: December 31 at 19:11. Mark your calendar.

And yes, it was all Tony's fault!
Now I have to go retrieve all those dryer sheets from the garden....

[tony]

What in the world with dryer sheets? Something about single women and dryer sheets?

[villages07]

Keep a dryer sheet in your pocket during love bug season ... it keeps the bugs away from you. So, you see, Boomer, in Florida (especially during love bug season), the dryer-sheet-marking-your-territory theory might be giving off false scents.

When the moon hits your eyes like a big pizza pie...

We're all Moonstruck!!!

Tony, Tony, Tony...........What have you done?

Who wouldda thought an innocent post about a full moon would end up here?

Ain't that the truth? I'm afraid to post the info on viewing Venus today and the rest of the week.... Who knows where that will lead?

[tony]

Talk about Big Moons and Jan shows up. Hmmmm.

Judy's astronomical thread on the moon seem to induce lunacy in all the rest of you.

Good thing I'm sane.

Venus, did you say Venus? I have a telescope!
I once saw the Rings of Saturn and the craters on the Moon!
