We have a saying for something that happens very rarely. "Once in a blue moon". Well a blue moon happens when a single month has two full moons in it, this is very reae. Well get ready strange things are bound to happen, Sunday November 21, 2010 is a Blue Moon night. Are you ready?

I was heading east and saw the moonrise as it was beginning and it was one giant moon. I couldn't believe how big it was. So beautiful! And thanks for explaining the expression that I have often used but had no idea what it really meant.

Is that why yesterday was so strange?! I had an uncontrollable urge to nap and slept 3 hours! I thought I would not be able to sleep at night but started falling asleep as I was watching a program on TCM. Went to bed and couldn't sleep!! Also, I was so hungry yesterday, nothing would stop my stomach growling. I was exhausted all day. Must be the blue moon!

dear pat, i didnt have a glimpse of this blue moon yesterday. it was raining so hard that the rain entered my windows and i had to put rugs on the floor so as not to make a pool there. maybe you can tell us if you have any strange things that happened at your end. have a nice day. ann

I suppose that it explains a lot of things. I really did feel a little bit off all day on Sunday. I've never really thought about the Blue Moon thing all that much, but I have thought about the full moon thing a lot. When I used to work at the hospital it was always the craziest nights that we would face when there was a full moon. I wouldn't say that the employees particularly acted differently, but the patients always seemed to act strange.

Well, ironically I saw this on Yahoo news this morning and I was talking about it with my 20 year old son. He is the one who mentioned 'once in a blue moon' and it all makes sense.

Hello friend, i don't know about blue moon, but last night i couldn't fall asleep hours and hours, because of that full moon It was lighting on my window and there was so much light, that i couldn't stay calm at all. My boyfriend said i was really sneaky when i stand up to see what's wrong out there. I didn't know it's full moon night, i just couldn't sleep. When i saw the window, i understood, sky was so strange and i could see it, even if we have building out of that window and that building is hiding everything. I don't want to see blue, red, pink or whatever moons is possible to be real. I just want to sleep.
