What happens during a full moon?

We have a full moon coming this Thurs according to Farmer's Almanac. I read my horoscope, but don't know much about this kind of stuff. What is supposed to happen on a full moon? My personal experience is that people act weird in general during that time. I wonder why? :eek: Anyone know the reasoning behind it?

Back when I worked for the county we would get at least one new patient every full moon. There are lots of theories, but if people believe the moon changes behaviors...it will.

Plus, teenagers are a little more likely to get into trouble because of the extra light at night.

You always here that more babies are born on a full moon night. We tested this theory at the hospital where I work and found no statistical difference on full moon nights from any other night. It is speculated that people notice the moon when it is full and associate occurrances with it.

Yup, when I did newborn baby pictures (my part time college job) The only time we saw a major increase in babies was 9mts to the day of a big storm or power outage. Snort!!!

You should have seen the nursery after Hugo(NC was hit with a hurricane in 89). I bet 9mts after Katrina, there was a baby boom.

The Water theory sounds reasonable for explaining women going into labor. My wife was to be induced with our first son and they had to reschedule her by one day because they had a rush on babies...women going into labor naturally. They were lined up in the halls and didn't have rooms for all of them. It was a full moon.

So do people act weird on a full moon because they have Water on the brain? I can tell it's coming. It's in the air.

I used to work in a rehabilitation facility - and there were all different types of disabilities there - (an awesome place to work!!). I could always tell when there was a full moon - seizures were more common - and the clients were usually wilder than normal. (more outbursts)

I myself don't notice much of a difference - just tend to stay up later at night (usually go to bed @ 9ish)

i've always heard that a full moon is the best time to start new ventures, projects, etc.

When I worked at a hospital laboratory, they staffed more people around the full moon. More fights, more wrecks, more babies, more everything around that time. Weird, hugh?

As a teacher now, I notice it effects my boys more than girls. The full moon gives some of them PMS type emotions. When I figure it out, then I kind of "let some things go" around that time. Just like I want the men to do for me around my time. :couch2:

I truly believe that the moon has some effect. It may just be an excuse. It may be something pretty to look at... and they crash... but something is going on.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
