a hot tub is when you run bath water at a temperature of about 104 degrees.......a jacuzzi is where you take a hot bath after eating pinto beans......

Nothing. If you're buying, get a Hot Springs Spa.

Confused even more now?

Thanks Rad. And then you can come try mine. Of course, it's 30degrees outside and ours is empty right now...

I'm renting a place for a skiing weekend and it says there's a "jacuzzi overlooking the lake." I thought there might be a difference.

Actually, I thought maybe a jacuzzi was an indoor, bathroom thing. Like a one-person deal. And a hot tub would be a bigger version... fitting several people.

Cold weather is the best time for using an outdoor hot tub. We had one on our deck in Fairbanks. It was the most perfect place to sit out and watch the aurora.

or then there is the naturally hot spring fed hot tub at Chena Hot Springs.

Or the Olympic size outdoor pools at the cool 92F in Circle Hot Springs. -58F the first time we went there. Our then kindergartner was getting out and rolling in the snow.

I would vote Cal Spa-I also would not get in one in a rental situation-
Think about it-hot water-low funtioning people responsible for taking care of the water quality-

in Chena Hot Springs you are likely to be sharing it with Japanese ladies making silly frozen hair styles.

You don't know the difference?

Jacuzzi is a manufacturer of whirlpool spas including hot tubs. In real estate listings, a 'jacuzzi' usually refers to an unheated whirlpool spa and a hot tub is a heated one (often larger).

Violin - thanks. i was thinking something along those lines. it's probablly small and in a bathroom.

Josh Man - we have a Cal Spa at home (outside) and love it. Unfortunately, it is broken right now and we can't enjoy it during the best hot tub season. Boo Hoo

Tara - aren't the zoning laws kinda strict about non-working hot tubs in your neck-of-the woods?

I heart the Clash!

Yesterday the Jehovah's witness's were at my door again. I try to be polite but these two little 20-something guys would not back off. They finally asked me if I knew of anyone that needed to hear about their very special message from Christ. I told them to head east into Dearborn where there are thousands of Muslims just waiting for them. It's going to be my standard suggestion from now on. Those boys scattered!

When we were kids, we all hung out at a friends house over the summer whoose parents worked so we had the house to ourselves.

I noticed a couple knocking on doors at the far end of the block and saw they were holding bibles. I ran to my friends house and we decided to have some fun. BTW we were all about 13 at the time.

We decided to act like devil worshipers when they cam a-knocking. Dave answered with fake blood running down his face, holding a wine glass with red koolade. I came up from the basement and as I passed the front door I said loud enough that I am going upstais to make love to a sheep.

I could go on about all the stupid pranks we pulled off as kids.
