FREAP CHAT Part 2 ~ Everyone Welcome to our new digs

[SHAYMARAYSMOM]

I think Kellie must have gone back to bed! She posted way too early in the morning for me! I actually consider that still the middle of the night!

I was up and ready for work. I am still trying to work all day.

I consider it night time too, but DH gets up at 4:15 to go cycling and always manages to wake me up (he will stub his toe, or drop something, or step on a cat) and once I'm awake, I'm awake...at least it is lighter in the mornings now - so I just make it my quiet time ...
I wake up everyday at 3:30. But these days I could stay in bed all day. But I am trying my best to keep my normal routine going.

Hadley - if I lived closer to you I would be happy to share my frozen concoction machine (can you just imagine the kind of party we Freaps would throw )

 

[maddhatir]

Maybe it's that thing you used to have in your signature.....it's escaped

Not sure WHAT it could be but I would be sleeping with my windows SHUT!

THAT is exactly what I would picture this sound coming from!!!

Funny- b/c my mom said she thought people would think she was crazy b/c she heard it- she is just glad DH and I ended up hearing it too!

I have been Googling- There are a few people who have posted the same question- the answers range from, peacocks, owls and oh,

I also found some info on one Snopes b/c of this story http://www.wlwt.com/news/4874944/detail.html

someone thinks it could be a drunk redneck- OR
........possibly this person They actually posted a link to this pic- I was peeing myself!

The internet is just OH so helpful!

I have to keep searching.

Madd, I am going to guess that it (might) be an owl. I have had that happen to me at night, too, and DH says he thinks it might be a HUGE barn owl that we have in our area.

ETA: A drunk redneck?? I wouldn't know anything about one of those!

 

[pperfectmom]

Madd-do you have any bobcats in your area? They definately make a sound like that. Or maybe you and your mama have been hitting the tequila again?

Kellie-Welcome Home!!!!!!

Would I know by now if I was getting the swell drink maker? I haven't heard yay or nay yet. My DH is the drink maker for us as well and we have been doing a lot of margaritas. I like them best on the rocks with lots of salt but he has been doing some frozen ones that are awfully tasty. Unfortunately, I suffer the BRAIN FREEZE as well.

I may have missed a previous post but are you working every day? I hope you are not back to work everyday yet.

I went onto the "owl site" and listeing to most of theri sounds nad nothing sounded like it- I will go and check again.

Why I outtaaaaaa!

We have had some bobcat sightings in our area in the past- I am sure they are around- I will go and find a site that has the sounds they make-

I feel like I am playing with one of those round baby toys.....
This is the sound a cow makes.....MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Well, when you find the sound, I definitely want the link! I want to hear a blood-curdling scream!

Has anyone heard of Baltimore Berger Cookies? They certainly look good....

I don't have audio at work but I found this on bats....

And while you're likely to know that you have bats, it is possible to have them in an attic and not even know it, Simmons said. Most likely, though, if you have bats, you'll hear high-pitched screeching sounds as they prepare to leave your attic in the evening, he said.

Maybe you have bats in the belfry

 

[hadleysun]

This is off topic, but I was over on the cake decorating thread and saw this and thought of you Madd!

No- the sound was coming from outside-

Imagine me running outside only to come face to face with a bobcat!?

I was listeing to some sounds made by a fox-

Listen to # 44- but is was just so much louder! and creepier.

I have a darn sound activated tape recorded around here somewhere, I bought it at a yard sale in hopes of catching some EVPs But I have to go search for it.

I could just set that in my window tonight. My neighbors HAD to hear it- it was in their yard- I do not talk to them though

 

[mtblujeans]

That one does sound like a woman screaming. Does it make multiple calls like that?

THAT is WAY cool!!!! I when you said you were being OT- I didn't know we had one here

That one does sound like a woman screaming. Does it make multiple calls like that?

Yes- it does. I was just talking to DH and he said even he was creeped out- I am doing some investigating tonight!

If I do not come back tomorrow I was either carried away or eaten alive

ETA! After reading the above sentence- I WANT that as a tag b/c I was peeing when reading it again!

HELLO TAG FAIRY- IT HAS BEEN SOME TIME SINCE A VISIT- AND THAT PHRASE MAKES ME PEE!!!

No, I meant one of those toys that you point the arrow at and it makes that noise - like Madd was saying - a cow goes.....mooooooooooooo. Can you imagine one that says "a redneck goes......"

 

[TinkerBean]

Jeepers, I'm gone for a few hours and come back to blood curdling screams, rednecks, bobcats and Madd getting carried off and eaten...

Could it have been a Fox, right under your window? It is spring ya know

I still like the redneck theory best...

 

[TinkerBean]

OMG that is soooo funny

 

[Alesia]

Panthers sound just like a woman screaming.

Maybe it was a jersey devil...

 

[pperfectmom]

Madd-I thought of something else it could be. Do you have any blue herons around? We have heard them at night sometimes and they are pretty freaky sounding too and VERY LOUD!
