Full Moon??
Okay we all know that the full Moon makes us crazy ,is it true or is it Myth.what do you think the last few days here I'd say it was true.
Not sure if you are still pregnant but if you are then try having sex. That will probably throw you into labor. Worked for me 2 times out of 3. The 3 time he wouldn't touch me in my thrid trimester because he didn't want to throw me into labor.
Also to everyone else, In my house everyone goes crazy on the nights of a full moon. I go crazy everyday. :)

Not sure if it makes a difference. I think I am luny all the time.
Happy birthday Tuck, yes I had a good birthday all my family rang me or e-mailed me and I had a couple of cards, late in the evening when I ( an Insomniac) was drifting off to sleep 2 little voices rang in on my answerphione from another country to wish me well, and darn it I took another 2 hours to go off again! I went to see that new Benjamin Button Movie with Brad Pitt, and about 6 people all dying off well at the end of the movie I think it included me !!and I had a beautiful full moon that lit up my whole bedroom.
In my opinion, most certainly the full moon makes a difference on behavior. For several years I worked as a psych nurse and beleive me it makes a difference with those that have mental challenges. We moaned when we saw we were scheduled to work on the day of a full moon, especially the evenings.
Remember we our bodies are 80% water, now consider how the moon affects the tides. Lunatic actually means moon struck. There are multiple studies on this and one study will dispute another. All in all there is more research that concludes there is an effect on ppl in a full moon than there are that disputes it.
Sorry I am back to the thread. For the record I am severely allergic to cats. That doesn't mean I wish them harm. It just means I can't get near the critters. Still we took one in for a week until we found a farmer friend that would like the old yeller cat. I suffered for weeks!!! Aschew!!!
And Margypops, the 10th was my birthday too. I hope you had as great of a birthday as I did. I'll wish you Belated Greetings too!!

Hey my battle for the Gopher turtles is another story but not for here.
Thanks for good input as always MJ . I lived in Frorida a few years ago and had a wonderful success story , the house I bought had a black cat who was very frightened and obviously fereal, I watched her for a while and it was obvious she was havingf babies, she disapeared then came back, thin, no babies, I started to put out some food and idnt bother her, she got fat again and again disappeared, then turned up where I put the food with 4 babies , all frightened all fereal. I kept feeding them, now there are laws round that neck of the woods, Jensen Beach Florida ,so I contacted a bunch of animal lovers like me , and found a place that would take them ,yes it was in a "gated community" but they took all the cats together, I helped with the costs of this, catching them was very traumatic, but I had the experts help round them up actually in my house, we cornered them one by one, Before I left I checked on the Shelter who had them and all but one had gone to homes of animal lovers to simply live out their lives the way they wanted. It was a success story for me amongst many not so successful ones.
I had the same circumstance happen at my parents' house. I sort of "adopted" a stray, but at the time wasn't allowed to bring it in. I feel bad about it in retrospect, but what can I do?
It was a black and white domestic short hair with a little white triangle around its jowls and nose area and white toes. In one eye it had a cataract.
When I first saw the cat it was VERY shy. It would not allow me near it. But after time progressed and patience, it came to follow me around and be very affectionate until it disappeared and I never saw it again.
What I did: Start off by leaving some cat food in an area and then leave. Eventually I left some cat food out and sat some place out of view. I gradually moved closer over a period of weeks. (This was out in the dead of winter btw....) Eventually I was close enough to touch the cat. I refrained for a few days. One day decided to reach out and touch it. The cat flinched and left the area. Next day or time, I did it again. The cat tolerated it a little better.
Eventually it came to like me. I would have taken it into the house and adopted it, but my parents refused. We tried to feed and care for it outside anyway.
-----------
The same sort of situation happened again with a white cat, but our next door neighbor ended up adopting him and neutering him. He lived a pretty good life even though he turned out later to be FIV+.

Sahib (my grandma’s cat) is a stray she adopted. It just came right in after being chased by another cat.

thanks Heres what I have done , I first went to my neighbors to make sure I wouldnt get accused of cat-napping, they said they had seen the cat but didnt know who it had belonged to, I then went to Petsmart, nearly got a couple of Dogs but didnt ...just.. they gave me the phone no of the local animal shelter , i asked if it was a No kill shelter , they said it was if the cat had to be put down, but if I gave my number I would be called with a chance to take the cat myself, I would, This is the most beautiful looking cat,friendly and so pretty, playful, slept on my knee at the PC this morning and tried to type to the Guys on the Abuse Forum in case they needed some cat help with all the problems there!! sorry I am being naughty now,!! Any way ,we British ex-Pats are so long winded ,have you ever noticed, ..I was given the phone no and have to call tomorrow and they will hopefully take the little thing..unless I change my mind and keep him or her,by the way how can you tell what they are???
Your options for the cat varies depending on where you live, but it starts with feeding the cat until it is friendly, then:
1. Animal control can capture it and take it to a shelter for adoption. If its a younger animal it can be adopted, but if its old, they tend to put them down. Some areas of the country have no kill shelters but the way cats can breed such a thing is a losing proposition.
2. You can capture the kitty, take it in and have it broken (or fixed, depending on your perspective), and let it go. It can live outside and won't make new kitties. Disadvantage -- kitties tend not to live as long outside and have all kinds of problems that a ture pet cat would not have.
3. You can try and find an owner first, then capture the kitty and give it to them. There are some problems with this as even the nicest people turn out to be bad owners. However, the probably that the cat will live is higher than if it goes to a shelter, and it will probably have a better quality life than living outside. You can also try and place the cat at a farm if you life near one. Farms like hunting cats if they keep animals. Farm cats have a hard life but they love their barnyard existence.

I can't see the moon tonight. :( Darn clouds.... Oh well. I do have some full moon pictures in my photos from one of the last full moons.
Oh, forgot to mention, it didn't work! Sorry, tired tonight, lol
Well, I had heard that full moons can bring on labor and since I was overdue with my daughter I tried sitting outside under the full moon, lol. I tried walking, everything! I was willing to just about try anything to get her out of me! :D
Swampy, did you also used to go cow tipping with your friends at night? lol

Werewolves.....oh they are out in full force!!!!
Happy Birthday, Margypops!
I think it's completely true about full moons. When you work in retail and you have a very odd day with people acting strangely, you can just go look up at the sky at quitting time. The moon is full.
This, today, is the fullest moon we'll have this year. Expect werewolves!

Swampy used to "moo at the moon" with a friend of his when it was full.
The moon does affect people, animals and the earth physically but it doesn't really create any mental changes in us. I'm afraid I'll have to chalk that one off as a superstition and its where the word "lunacy" comes from when everyone literally believed that. I've kind of forgotten about the moon because I can't see it too well because of the smog in the city I live in although I can see it better when I visit my relatives in the suburbs.
Happy Birthday and Yes, a definite corellation of some sort .. I'm convinced. Over on Thyroid we've done Full Moon Friday threads and they are really fun to post on!
