Spot the Full Snow Moon!
ADVERTISEMENT
I’ve experienced an increase in emotions & it seems to be true for almost all of my immediate family this week. One of my daughter’s dogs even exhibited high stress with no obvious cause last night. I had been wondering if we had a full moon, which brought me to this site to see.
My wife has Alzheimer's and I noticed she was more confused this Sunday, and that control of my temper almost got me to the moon, I got so upset that I had a very hard time sleeping well that night I had a lot of acid intergestion, being a caregiver is tough enough I don't need the moon adding to it.
Wow, what can I say? I love the moon. I hate cloudy nights when you cannot see the moon, ya know?
Just want to let you know that your almanac has been in my family for years. I am 70 years old,but I remember my Daddy had one, and it being one of the things that was not looked as " just a book." It was almost considerded to be the " farmers bible. " One of my sisters and I used to get it down and read it. Later on, I remember one of my sisters using it to check the gestation of certain amimals, ( I hope that's the right word ). She would breed her pigs, to put eggs in her incubator, go fishing, and so many other things. I had a brother who used it to set crops, set eggs, to fish, and so on. I still enjoy it to this day. Thank you for so many years of enjoyment. P.S. I know you weren't around when I was born tho. LOL
Same here Jan im not as elder as you, but everything we did around our farm was based on the moon. when a package says 7-21 days for a seed to sprout i can get them to sprout by the 7th day. This knowledge led me to learn how to compile birth natal charts. Our lives are amazing when viewed through astrology
Hi, Jan, This made our day! We always enjoy hearing from Almanac fans who represent generations of readership! Many thanks for your kind words, your OFA editors
My husband is planning to have knee replacement surgery in the near future. I would like to know what days are the best to have surgery. My Mother never did anything without consulting the Almanac first! She is now 94 and in the nursing home, so I can't ask her. Please help me out! Thank you. Noveta
My husband has had both knees done he can climb a ladder with 50 lb bag feed he is a rancher. He can carry large hay bales. He gets on the roof of our house. He had a great Dr. PRAY first tell your husband to do the exercises it may hurt at first but will be worth it. Move move move it heals the body quicker and does not let the knees muscles lock up. Much luck .............Never have surgery on Friday!!
I am an RN who takes care of orthopedic patients every work day. My suggestion is to have surgery early in the week (Monday or Tues), if possible. Then your hubby can be discharged hopefully prior to the weekend. It is not necessary to consult the moon, just advise him to be an active participant in his care. A word to the wise: walk, walk, walk!
First purchased your wonderful magazine to help my husband fish. Got hooked on it! Also like the history behind the full moons, all their aspects & their names especially. Your old magazine lay-out included anonymous quotes that I also used to enjoy. Miss the old format & monthly tid bits that me & my sister would share on a daily basis. Keep up the good work, but why fix something that isn't broke? One of your biggest fans!! Judy from Milwaukee
