Hi, All!

I do. I'm wondering what others think? I always feel a little bit weird around the time of a full moon. Just not quite as "in-sync" as I might be...

Any others, too? Or, not? Perhaps some people might be more susceptible to it than others?

What about policeman who might be witness to the way that people are at certain times of the month, or healthcare professionals?

All opinions are welcome. It is, after all, a matter of opinion. Perhaps logical opinions and expressions about the way people feel and think about it might be helpful and beneficial to others?

This thread, will no doubt, get excellent exposure on the Internet when people search for the subject!

Thanks!

Hi Clough!
Yes the full moon does seem to affect me-yesterday's made me go all sentimental and a bit weepy!
It would be interesting to find out if guards in prisons notice any changes in the inmates ?

Hi, amicon!

Yes, finding out about how people who work or have worked in prisons could potentially be an excellent perspective on something like this!

Thanks for responding!

Hi!
Think Ill check that out now!

Hi!
Think Ill check that out now!

That would be good!

I have to get to bed now!

Thanks!

Any more "takers" here?

Thanks!

Hi again-havent found anything conclusive but will keep my eyes open!

Clough, we schedule extra nurses during the full moon. We always get a TON of patients. Either laboring patients (mostly), or outpatients who think they are in labor.

Our ER schedules extra security on the nights of the full moon as well.

Hi, J_9!

I'm glad that you came along here as I was sure that you would have something to say about this!

Thanks!

Hi, All!

Anymore takers here?

Thanks!

Oddly the night of the full moon makes me feel pretty calm and whatnot

However on the few days running up to the full moon and for like two days after I usually get pretty odd especially if I have consumed any alcohol O_o

This however could be a series of weird coincidences .

Hi, Strange-chicken!

I had forgotten about this thread that I started. I appreciate you sharing!

Thanks!

Hi Clough!
Just been a new moon I think and I ve had trouble falling asleep!

Hi, amicon!

A "New Moon" is the dark one. Correct?

Thanks!

Back in the early 60's I lived and worked in South Beach, ( this is before it went "upscale".) I had a favorite bar on Collins I would hang out at.
On the night of a full moon the crazies would come out of the woodwork.
Trust me! A full moon will affect you and it hits the mentally unstable first and the hardest. I was there and saw it in action. Cheers, tom

Tom -spooky.
Clough- I think the new moon s always two weeks ahead of a full one.

These are just a few of the dozens of links that refer to the "Lunar effect". I personally can't recall any behavior differences, or urges, pertaining to the moon's cycle, but for years, have heard of the increase in criminal activity. Some of these sites say there IS a difference, and there are just as many that say that there ISN'T any difference.

Sorry, not much help here.

The full moon most definitely affects my ability to sleep.

I feel restless, toss and turn and very often have the most vivid dreams at the full moon.

Hi All!

Then, I'm wondering why some people would poo-poo the idea that "full-moon madness" or "lunacy" is something that doesn't really happen to anyone?

Thanks!

I personally never feel different when there's a full moon. I usually don't even realize it's a full moon unless a particular co-worker of mine is around to point it out. It never fails though, ever time I complain how weird customers are being, it's pretty much always on nights with full moons.

I am no scientist but every time there is a full moon my clients ask me the dumbest questions. Or they do the most mind boggling things to their fuel pumps. I don't get it. One time a guy called me and said I couldn't find the key to open the front panel so I used a crowbar to open it. A crowbar really!! Without fail I look at the calender and it says a full moon for that night.

Hi, justcurious55!

I wonder why it is that you don't feel anything? I do...

I wonder if it might have to do with the physical characteristics of the person, or is this something that has only to do with the mind..

Thanks!

I've heard told that a full moon can bring about many different sorts of happenings.

Sometimes thing come out in the open, secrets get revealed, people tend to be more emotional or calm (I'm more calm)
Some feel peaceful while others feel anxious. I think it has a different effect from person to person.

I think it tips the balances in peoples lives. I don'tthink necessarily for the worse, but it helps things change is what I believe.
Maybe a monthly emotional cleansing time, as well as many other factors.



It also brings out the werewolves! :eek:

Librarians always know from patron behavior when there is a full moon.

I'm the stressful and anxious kind of person when there's a full moon.

I also get a weird physical sensation that my body just isn't quite the way that it should be. It's hard to describe.

Thanks!

Hi, Wondergirl!

So, what do the patrons do that cause librarians to know that it's a full moon, please?

Thanks!

Do you have a library card?

Yes...

You ain't talkin' 'bout me, are you?

Something else I just remembered.
My cat is ALWAYS just CRAZY when it's a full moon. I mean crazier than normal crazy.
She gets what my mom calls "the rips"
I think it's because when she runs, she tears around the house.
She's also much more aggressive with the other cat, and it's also about the time when she goes in heat.
Interesting huh? :)

Hi, Wondergirl!

They are more anxious, guarded, cantankerous, annoying, feisty, antagonistic, nasty, and confused. Manic too. I forgot manic.

Evening all

I am a firm believer that the ways of old haven't left us yet

Man has only been able to read and write for a few thousand years, but hunting and gathering has been with us for a few 100k years

Just as a fire is hypnotic, and meat cooked over an open flame smells and looks better, I am wondering if the full moon played a signific part of mans history

If you wanted to hunt at night then a full moon would be the desreable nights to do this on

There are a few threads here that people say are restless on these nights, and I am wondering if it is because we should be out and about stalking some noctornal animal

I am no scientist but every time there is a full moon my clients ask me the dumbest questions

I am afraid my customers ask me dumb questions all the time, we have a leader board at work, and the top question asked is :

Why isn't the equipment working?

Answer, Have you tried plugging it in to the wall socket?

Customer Reply, No not yet!

Sometimes you really can't imagine how they managed to get out of bed without ringing a helpline :)

You know, this is very plausible. It would also somewhat explain why my kitty goes crazy. It's probably instinct, or a biological clock thing. Nice input.

Body water - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_water)

What percentage of the average human brain is water? (http://www.funtrivia.com/askft/Question16869.html)

Since much of the human body is water. And the moon has the largest gravitational 'pull' on the earth, I can see where this might have an affect on us since about 78% of our brain is water. Hence the moon's 'pull' could easily affect moods, actions, thinking processes and thus our actions.

After all, The moon has enough affect on our oceans and seas to create tides.

Stringer

Thanks M, I think it may be true. Maybe not on everyone of us, but possibly on some.

Maybe I'm affected so much, because my brain's so full of mush and not stuff! LOL! :)

I have never noticed any effect at all for myself, maybe it is so minimal that I don't acknowledge it. I remember we had a full moon not that long ago and looking up and thinking "Cool, a full moon"

I'm going to pay attention from now on and see if I notice anything.

The next Full Moons are November 2nd 19:15, December 2nd 7:33 and Dec 31st 19:15
I marked them on my calendar:)

Wow! There's going to be one on New Year's Eve! That should be a very interesting night for policeman and hospital workers!

Thanks!

I am also wondering, we have a natural body clock, but how does it know what time of the day, year it is without markers

Does anybody know if the natural rotation of the planet, and obviously here the moon are markers for our body clocks to know what to do?

I learned in My psychology class that humans aren't Natrually supposed to just sleep at night, but rather when we're tired. But we've made it so that we're awake during the day (generally speaking) because that's when everything is more visible. I always feel awake at night, unless I just haven't had sleep, and I've found that for me, It's easier for me to fall asleep during the day. Not sure why that is though.

Hello phsohappy

Nice comment

Maybe someone can inform us why there is such a thing as a night person and a morning person?

I was always lead to believe that night time (darkness) meant sleep time, a form of hibernation for the human body due to the lack of food around in the winter time

Or that just one of those old wives tales that life is full off?

Well that could be. Animals just sleep whenever they need to, doesn't matter what time of day it is. Why wouldn't it be the same for people?

Thas a fair point, it is the social structure that demands a set time for us

I didn't see the entire show, but I remember one of my cousin's watching something on TV awhile back about how people used to sleep and something about there was some evidence that people would get up and work or hunt in the morning, sleep when it was hottest in the afternoon, get back up and work in the evening again for awhile, and then sleep again. Not just like a nap in the afternoon, but more like regular sleeping periods in the afternoon and evening. I think it was for a hunter-gatherer society. Has anyone else ever heard anything about it?

I feel like a "night person." no mtter how tired I am during the day, I usually wake up more at night. And no matter how early I try to go to bed, if I have to wake up early, it's like torture.

I really don't care for Pink Floyd (maybe repressed memory from tennage years) but I just notice for the first time the words.

Eclipse - The Dark Side of the Moon Lyrics - Pink Floyd Lyrics (http://www.pink-floyd-lyrics.com/html/eclipse-dark-lyrics.html)

Eclipsed:to obscure; darken; to obscure the importance, beauty, fame, etc. of render dim by comparison; surpass; overshadow.
"Websters Standard Dictionary 2006"

So the sun gives us all but pales by comparison to the moon. Check your dates, the next is coming up soon.:eek:

I worked in nursing homes for years,when it was a full moon the whole place would be up in arms,clients bashing each other with walking sticks,zimmer frames thrown across rooms,general havoc insued...

I dreaded the night shift on a full moon.

Your watching too much 'father ted' bear..

It really was scary.. old people can be incredibly strong.

Hi, All!

I think that the next full moon is on November 2, 2009. Is that correct? If so, then how about we really pay attention to how we think and feel then and report about it here?

Thanks!

Lol, night of the living... just:D

Salvo

As long as it doesn't interfere with mydancing naked under the pale moonlight then sure I will think about it :eek:

Trust me - You don't :), why keep it for just one night - I thought the consensus was it was normal to feel freaky on full moons :)

Trust me - You dont :), why keep it for just one night - I thought the concensus was it was normal to feel freaky on full moons :)

OK fine, dance naked!:p but, some one might want to see the video!:cool: I'll just plant some plants:) I hear they do better if planted during a full moon:rolleyes:

I do know that root matter grows better at night thanit does in the day so I wounder if strong moonlight helos this process occur :rolleyes:

I'm curious, because a full moon only means that the earth is out of the way and the moon is in a direct path of the sun light.

So my question is, why would the moon being lit up fully by the sun have any different affect than usual?

If it was a matter of the moon being closer to the earth at different times then I could understand some gravitational effect.

Stringer

Hi, Stringer!

I don't know, and that's an interesting question that you've posted here.

So, are you not or are affected in some way when there is a full moon, please?

Thanks!

I really haven't paid any attention Clough. It does seem to make things get a bit more stressed though... maybe that is something I should pay attention to?

Someone asked if anyone is in tune with the phase of the moon here. I am. I almost always know what phase the moon is in, approximately. Like tonight is a half moon, waxing.

I don't know if I feel weird or anything with the full moon--the moon is actually pretty integral to my religion. You start things in the new moon (or the dark moon) and have them "come to light" in the full moon. You shouldn't attempt to start something new in a waning moon--that's for self reflection.

So I think a lot of people just go back to some of their pagan roots with the moon phases, and the full moon is a time of fulfillment--so it's that "something is going to happen" feeling that most people get--doesn't matter whether the something is good or bad. I think people get jittery with it, personally, which causes the rise in crimes and in injuries.

The full moon occurs when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth than the sun, so we actually see the moon, from the reflection. The new moon (I believe) is when the sun is reflecting on the otherside and we just see black.

The moon is always full (we just can't see it):rolleyes: but the circumstances of the light seem to have an effect on some of us.

I'm sure it's all different, but with AMHD members, it could be more interesting:cool: or not:rolleyes::)

Well, now I am confused, but I think I can figure it out. Since today is the 26th, we are in the first quarter. The diagram made it look like the 3rd quarter was the last befoe the Full Moon:)

Wow! There's going to be one on New Year's Eve! That should be a very interesting night for policeman and hospital workers!

Thanks!

Did you also know that the second full moon of any month is what is meant by the phrase "blue moon?" So, not only will December 31 be New Year's Eve, and my fifth grandchild's birthday, but it will also be a Blue Moon.

I have also heard that lunacy stats have a tendency to go up on the new moons also. I've heard it discussed on more than a few talk shows when they're discussing the moon and whether it does or doesn't have any effect.

I have never noticed any effect at all for myself, maybe it is so minimal that I don't acknowledge it. I remember we had a full moon not that long ago and looking up and thinking "Cool, a full moon"

I'm going to pay attention from now on and see if I notice anything.

You should be where I am when the full moon hits! I will notice that things seem to be going nuts and look around for the moon. I can almost guarantee the moon will be full or new.

i feel like a "night person." no mtter how tired i am during the day, i usually wake up more at night. and no matter how early i try to go to bed, if i have to wake up early, it's like torture.

My so-called mother always said that I was born backwards because I was always a night person from the time I was born. Said she couldn't get me to sleep at night to save her life, but that I slept all day with no problem.

Most people and animals tend to have their waking cycles coincide with the daylight hours. This is how people and animals that tended to be nocturnal became thought of as evil: it was thought that they were hiding something wrong from God and the daylight.

ive heard of that place 'home for veteran warewolves' right :D

Your head will collapse, if there's nothing in it, and you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind,where is my mind
Wheeeere is my mind

Waaaay out in the water, see it swimin :D

-----

Excuse me... where did you find the bit about the collapsing head? I'm reading it and dying!! About 35 years ago, when one of my sisters would do something particularly stupid, I would say to them, "Would you please use your brain for more than keeping your head from collapsing???" I hadn't thought about it in years until I read that! LOL!!

lol, night of the living........just:D

The original movie "The night of the living dead" was filmed right in the area where I was born and raised... scary indeed bear.

I don't have much results, but here they are even though my Full Moon experience is not over until 7:15 tonight, so you never know what might happen:eek:...

My body blew up like a balloon, but could have been something I ate, even though I'm pretty sure I stayed away from sodium.

I had very strange dreams and they were all connected to each other, which rarely happens. Usually they are a bunch of different ones or I never remember the connection. Also could have been food.

I did hear a lot of sirens (police, ambulance) but nothing in the neighborhood.

We also had a time change on Sunday, so this Full Moon might not be a good starting point for me, I'll have to make comparisons on the next one and the New Moon to be sure.

I did however wake up this morning full of energy, but that might have to do with the time change and that is is now light out at 6 AM.:)

I still have 5 hours to go!:rolleyes:

On the way home this evening I noticed the full moon,and how quite the street was... not a y bird about...

I can't sleep.

And I'm smoking like a chimney... other then that all seems to be well...

Damn,I just jinxed the next 12 hours!

Awooooooooooooooooo!!

Okay then, looked up at the sky
Saw the Full Moon
Wondered if it had any effect on me
The answer is no
I wondered again
Really thought this time
But sadly no, not a peak of madness in sight
.
.
.
.
.
It wasn't until I found myself naked that I thought there might be something in this:D

I'll put it this way...

No babies since last Thursday... Then BAM!!

4 delivered last night during the full moon! Good thing or I'd be called off work tonight.

I will have to say that some of the stuff that affliate its self with the full moon is true. You just have to do research and find out what is. I don't understand how we can celebrate Halloween, but the mention of the work witch craft, pegan, wiccan, or spells, everyone gets all defensive and say its eval. Did you know that it is believed that Jesus at one time practice the Pegan ways. I think if you are going to live in the world, today's society, the way life is now, you have to have an open mind.
I seriously believe that we should go back to the way it was because if they can make it so can we but the thing that would be different is how we all are equal. How we are respectful to every race. What would be like in the old days it light by an oil lamp, doing laundry would be out side in a tub and scrubbing them clean, working out in the yard, or having out to dinner event with your family. We are so lazy now that we became boring.
Except for those who do live an open mind life. They understand that A full moon does mean something but it doesn't mean its all evil. I think if you have a problem with the full moon maybe you should think back in your life and see if you can say five evil things that have happened to them on a full moon, you won't find someone who can. If you do then they just either are lying about it, or they just have real crappy luck.

I don't think anyone IS saying that the Full Moon is Evil. We are having fun and experimenting to see if anything is different for us.:)

We can't REALLY go back to the ways from before for many reasons, not that we wouldn't want to.

Computers went down at work for 5 hours today---the DAY before my big audit.

I'm blaming the full moon.

I'm good, nothing weird, except that I'm watching 'are you smarter than a 5th grader':eek:

Nothing to report-slept like a log':-)

Hummmmm... I think... I am growing another arm...

That's handy!:-)

Hi!
Yep, full moons always affect me too, usually make me more emotional and weepy sometimes. Am very aware of it now and can recognise when the moon is waning.
Lunacy does come from Lunar and as a nurse, when I worked in a old peoples nursing home, the residents with dementia were always markedly more confused around the time of a full moon.
If you think about it, the moon rules the tides, we are mostly made up of water so it seems obvious that it will therefore affect us in some way.
Very interesting subject matter!

Interesting question,
I have never noticed any changes as per the moon phases,not that I have consciously observed myself or others at these times.

Philosophy of Science Portal: Lunatics (http://philosophyofscienceportal.blogspot.com/2009/03/lunatics.html)
(Does a full moon really trigger strange behavior?by Scott O. Lilienfeld and Hal Arkowitz February 9th, 2009 Scientific American)

But there are at least three reasons why this explanation doesn't "hold water," pardon the pun. First, the gravitational effects of the moon are far too minuscule to generate any meaningful effects on brain activity, let alone behavior. As the late astronomer George Abell of the University of California, Los Angeles, noted, a mosquito sitting on our arm exerts a more powerful gravitational pull on us than the moon does. Yet to the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports of a “mosquito lunacy effect.” Second, the moon's gravitational force affects only open bodies of water, such as oceans and lakes, but not contained sources of water, such as the human brain. Third, the gravitational effect of the moon is just as potent during new moons—when the moon is invisible to us—as it is during full moons.
----------------
From the same link
llusory correlations result in part from our mind's propensity to attend to—and recall—most events better than nonevents. When there is a full moon and something decidedly odd happens, we usually notice it, tell others about it and remember it. We do so because such co-occurrences fit with our preconceptions. Indeed, one study showed that psychiatric nurses who believed in the lunar effect wrote more notes about patients' peculiar behavior than did nurses who did not believe in this effect. In contrast, when there is a full moon and nothing odd happens, this nonevent quickly fades from our memory. As a result of our selective recall, we erroneously perceive an association between full moons and myriad bizarre events.

Hunting and Fishing Solunar (sun and moon phase) Calendar (http://www.kingsoutdoorworld.com/hunting-guide/deer_activity.htm)
edited to add this excerpt from the link
Research has shown that a natural day for fish and many other
animal species differ from our own. Their biological clock
appears to coincide with lunar time, which is the time that it
takes for the moon to reappear at a given point during one
complete rotation of the earth (an average of 24 hours and 53
minutes. This is called a Tidal Day and explains why the
ocean tides are about an hour later each day - and why most
fish, fresh water species included, will feed up to an hour later
(in relation to our solar clock) each day.

Hmmm...

New Years Eve should be really interesting this year with there being a full moon..

Thanks!

That scares me Clough, but thanks for the heads up!

I can attest to the fact that overt or prominent characteristics in people manifest during a full moon. But, more it is the night before the full moon in my opinion.

Abusers are angrier, PMS is worse, animals, both domestic and wild, are more 'tuned in', people are generally grumpier. Walk through a walmart at six p.m. on the eve of a full moon, and you'll see what I mean.

I personally think that we are affected by the tides, and gravity more.

What I don't understand is why it is never a good time psychologically for people. Always bad. For some at least.

I always dreaded going into work on a full moon day. When I"m not aware it's a full moon, and somebody points it out, I say, "AH HAH!" that explains the day.

I always know when it's a full moon, or near to it. My body and mind indicate that to me.

I can be wondering why I'm feeling kind of "out of sinq", and sure enough, most likely it's near to, or is the day of a full moon.

Thanks!

Wow! I was just seeing that this thread has had only less than 100 posts, but that the views have been over 1,400!

So, that would seem to me, that this subject is of some interest to people.

Thanks!

It must be a full moon,I was playing bowling this morning and got a full strike!

First time ever.

Bowling is not my forte.

Nope, New moon is on Wednesday, but the next full moon is Dec 31st.

Maybe you got better at bowling:)
I've never bowled in the morning before:cool:

Which is also a blue moon--December 31st, I mean.

And as far as full moons always being a bad time psychologically for people--I don't understand that. In pagan religions, a full moon was the time of fulfillment, of the culmination of things previously begun--the fullness of the month, if you will.

It's also historically when things like moonlight hunts, and evening gatherings were planned before electricity made it easy to do things after the sun set.

I think that people are just reacting to having more LIGHT in their lives, honestly. People are more active in summer evenings than winter evenings, too, because the sun is out longer. I feel MORE invigorated with the full moon--and I think it's because it's "light" out longer.

I was playing with a group of special needs people... is it bad I did a little victory dance when I got the strike?

Absolutely NOT red!! That was a 'moment'!!

I have bad dreams around the full moon, and feel all-over strange. I think it's true that people and animals are affected by the phases of the moon.

I am always affected by the full-moon. But weirdly sometimes it is a positive affect and sometimes negative. I can get restless and grumpy but I can find it the best time to deal with things that I have to be particularly assertive about.

Also I know that psychiatric hospitals in this area always put on extra staff for the full-moon. (from friends who are staff if you're wondering lol).

Isn't there some evidence that women's menstual cycles are normally governed by the lunar cycle as well? (assuming no hormonal treatments etc are interfering).

I think there is indeed a lot of evidence that the moon affects human biology. Also some farmers plant and harvest their crops according to whether the moon is waxing and waning.
Don't know how it works its spell but it seems powerful magic...

Still so far, I have marked the moons and noticed no difference, maybe I am just different:( But I will keep on looking, because this is the Holiday season for me and things might change:)

I have honestly never heard of anyone being affected in a positive way by a full moon. Maybe it is because my perspective is always clouded by the zombies I see.

Hi, Synnen!

I can't disagree with you for the positive sides of this sort of thing. Nor would I want to or feel the need to. I think that the having more light thing is great! However, some people, including myself, are negatively influenced by the power of the full moon. Some people don't seem to be influenced by it. But, I know that I am.

I don't know why and I don't think that it's a matter of choice...

Thanks!

It won't be long until the moon is full again! Should be really interesting...

Thanks!

New years eve? Oh boy!

Yes, New Year's Eve!

Look out! :eek:

Thanks!

Oh dear not a good time to be out and about then.
I'll only be going nextdoors though so should be safe.. .

So you think...

Remember, it's going to be a full moon! So, I'd suggest checking to see if anyone might be needing a shave and a haircut after sunset!

:eek:

Nothing is happening to me, so I am now going to stealthily follow my husbands actions:cool:

"Shave and a haircut" reminded me of a song... 2 bits:confused:

I heard on the radio this morning that this phenomenon of a Blue moon (2nd Full in a month) only occurs every 2.7 years and that one on Dec 31st happens about every 20 years:eek:

I'm safe, staying home and painting the bath.:)

Great, I'm sure that it will look great, where do you find the energy hon? Me, I am on 'vacation' so to speak (still working though as any business owner does).

Well now that you have raised the bar about this full moon thing I will have to deal with it I guess. We are going out this year, but only across the street to a party. So I guess I am only vulnerable to the affect/s that this has on the other guests... right... right? :eek:

Oh how fun... you get to observe lots of people:rolleyes:
Be careful crossing the street and Happy New Year!:D

Thanks, you too.

This is not one of my favorite holidays though. I always found it a little shallow and meaningless... but that's just me, I don't begrudge anyone for celebrating. Especially in that I am glad this year is over... don't see much improvement for the next though.

It's shallow and meaningless because people MAKE it that way.

I see it as a way to reflect on the previous year, the good and the bad, and make goals for myself for the new year.

Plus---the champagne.

Tonight's the night! :eek:

My hair's already starting to get longer! :D

I hope that you're okay, artlady!

I can't see the moon, it's all foggy or cloud covered, maybe a little later.

Clough... if things start growing that shouldn't... take a picture and post please:)

My son works for Catholic Charities and I just got a new bed and so that is cool. New to me anyway but in very good shape.
Thank goodness for these agencies who help people in need.
Waiting on social security disability is a total drag.
Maybe 2010 will be the year.. like you said got to keep on moving and trying :) Blessings..

Yes, it's great that many places have agencies that help people! I'm glad that you got a new bed!

I too, am in need of a new bed... My beds are very saggy and one of them even has a hole in it where your elbow might go!

Because of the heating situation, I've been sleeping on couch cushions on my dining room floor with an electric blanket and a heating pad. Am now house and dog-sitting where it's very comfortable.

I have a friend who's going to be giving me a nice bed that someone left in one of her homes.

Heating situation is now solved at my place because of the new furnace!

I've thought about and it has been suggested to me about Social Security disabilaty because of a neck injury that I suffered this year that left me a lot weaker and unable to do some things. But, I have been getting stronger...

Yes, we have to keep moving and trying!

2010 just might be our year for things to really get hopping!

SSD applying is a long arduous nightmare but if you can't work,it's the only option.
Continue to get stronger,a new bed is a must for a neck injury and one of those special pillows as well.:)

I don't think I change during a full moon... or just none that I've noticed!

That's just my two cents :)

She might be talking about the ones that have the foam that form to your head and neck but already have a shape. I've been looking for mine (that I only used a couple times) and can't find it.:( I pack things away and then don't remember where they are.

Orthopedic neck pillows.My GF broke her neck and she had a prescription for it. Your Doc can give you a script and it won't be so expensive.
Personally,I didn't like it because you kind of have to sleep on your back but its better than chronic pain.
Hope this helps pal.

These are orthopedic pillows,by prescription.

BTW.. I am a Cancer/Gemini cusp ,hence moonchild and I know the moon is a factor in my life.Makes me feel very serene when full. Odd huh?

When there's a full moon, or approaching a full moon time, I just tend to feel weird, as if something is just not quite right...

Hay ,if the moon can bring in the tide of the ocean imagine us poor humans with 60 to 70 % water. How can we NOT be affected?
I think it's a time of reflection.
Do you feel something ominous?
Maybe something negative happened to you as a child during a full moon.
Do you dread a full moon?
Do all full moons make you feel weird?

Yes, all full moons make me feel weird.

I just know that something's not right with me...

Thanks!

Yes, all full moons make me feel weird.

I just know that somethings not right with me...

Weird is not always bad but I'm getting its not a cool vibe for you.
I wonder what would happen if you were in a place where you had no clue about the moon if you would still feel that way.
I have to get off for a time ,looks like there is another murder or something in my hood. Happy NY :mad:

When I don't know that the full moon is approaching, I still can feel weird. When I check to see about the activity of the moon, it's invariable that it is a full moon when I'm feeling weird.

I'm sorry that there is something potentially bad happening where you are!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you, too!

Its OK no one got killed today.
A month ago someone did in my parking lot and he is still free.I live in a bad area with very nice people who don't want it and who are not a part of it but a few destroy it for others!!

I hope you find a way to understand this.
Maybe it's a time when you need to look inside and go deep and find the missing link that is creating this emotion.
It is there for a reason,you just have to figure it out.
Peace!

JD I wasn't referring to you or the fairer of the sexes... I meant... wolf hair from say... the knuckles?

OK, no knuckle hair that needs shaving.:rolleyes:

I think that I beat the full moon in any month, by already having grown a beard and a moustache!

It pays off to plan in advance! :D

Check your knuckles Clough. :eek::rolleyes:

Thanks, Stringer! I'd best be checking them...

No beard here (oh girls don't grow beards do they?)and the knuckles are fine!
Have a great 2010!

No beard here (oh girls dont grow beards do they?)and the knuckles are fine!

They might grow beards with the full moon, Monica! :eek: Best to be on the alert here!

Point taken!
Will try to avoid that'close shave' as of next full moon.. .

Full moon's coming! Anyone getting hairy yet? :eek:

Are you sure, friend4u178? I can see that you're already howling! :)

I've been feeling weird, though. I'm sure that the moons fullness has something to do with it!

Actually in all seriousness clough it doesn't affect me at all :cool:




BTW you can call me M like all my other friends if you like , might save you a bit of typing in the future ;)

Okay, M it is! :)

Oh Baby, it's been weird all right.

I broke out in pimples, sprained my ankle, bounced a cheque, ran over a stop sign, burned dinner, slipped on a banana peel, and got a ticket for driving the wrong way on a one way street.

I think the tides are pulling me like crazy. :eek:

I'm taking melatonin to 're-set my sleep cycle', according to the pharmasist.

But nothing can stop the effects of a full moon.

Tonight's the night! Let's see what happens! :p

I am hiding out under my bed for the next 24 hours. I have my pillow and my puppy and my pepsi and my paper and my pepperoni pizza.

I'm expecting a few more to show up and they better hurry, this pizza is gooooood!!

So, are we who are usually affected by the full moon surviving the evening?

Its gone past 7 am here on a Wednesday morning-all is well.. .

... I see Zombies staggering up and down the street through my extended telescope, and they look really hungry... all the lights are out everywhere, and the coyotes and wolves are howling.

Bats are flying around and I hear no birds... windows are smashing, cars are starting by themselves, and the Zombies seem to be walking... up... my... driveway...

Got to go... back under the bed for me until the sun comes up...

Silly Jake. If the zombies are coming, you fill the bathtub with water, the gun with ammo, and you take out the stairs. Zombies can't climb.

OK, so why do you fill the tub with water? They can't get wet?

You need to make sure you have drinking water to last out the siege.

Interesting about the bathtub theory. That makes sense.

Did not know Zombie's could not climb. Perhaps I should move my roost to the top of the house?

Got to go... :eek:

Looks like I came upon this pretty late in the game, but I used to work the swing and graveyard shifts of a medical answering service. We could tell just by the phone calls we got what stage the moon was in! We received a MUCH higher percentage of calls to the OBs for women in labor (or delivering in their cars); lots of mentally ill patients calling for their doctors and therapists - many of them in full paranoia and hysterical; etc. Sometimes after about an hour of such calls we would send someone outside to check, and sure enough it would be a full moon. Harvest moons were especially powerful.

I can always tell when it's a full moon, Big Auntie! Thanks for your affirmations here!

Auntie, you are so right.

The worst of human behaviour would show. More batterings, more emergency calls, more problems of all descriptions.

It sort of snuck up on you. The day would start normally, and by noon you wanted to stick needles in your eyes and jump off the nearest building. And then we would realize why- full moon.

I seem to have more energy a few days before a full moon, then after a full moon, I'm super tired, but that could be just me. I'm sure I'll sleep well now that the Zombies have moved out of the neighbourhood.

It's a trick Jake, they haven't left they are waiting and getting smarter too... careful! :eek:

I will proceed with caution... they are sneaky devils... going to lock doors and windows now, set the security light, popcorn, pepsi, and read my new People magazine. Wish me luck...

Beware, they can hear you breathe. They lay in wait and are hungry which makes them even nastier and more savage. The full moon is waning so only a day or so and then you have the entire month to enjoy without fear. Until... :rolleyes:

The next full moon is scheduled for April 28, 2010!

April 28th...

I'm going to really pay attention this time.

Must outfox the zombies...

April 28th........

I project myself pretty well, don'tcha think? :D

Lol-that was a great one! Though,could you keep the howling down for a bit-the neighbours are starting to complain.. .
