This is an ‘html-only’ version of Scribblings with no database behind it. This means it is not possible to search it. I am working on a new version with which I am hoping to eventually put back into the main site. The new version is here but please note that there is no link directly back to the main site.

The moon and baby boys

Current phase of the moon

Buried away elsewhere on this site is a table of moons for the next year. I put it there because I like to know when things are. It gets rather a lot of visits because it turns up at the top on Yahoo and Google if you enter the right sort of stuff as a search string.

Occasionally I get emails from people who seem to think I’m some sort of expert on the moon. I’m not. I know where it is (‘up there, look’) and when it’s going to appear in certain shapes but I don’t really know an awful lot more about it. Well, perhaps I do but I ain’t telling.

Most of the questions are straightforward and I can answer them either from my vast store of knowledge on the subject (hah!, if only…) or by looking up the answer on the net and then pretending that I knew all along. Every now and then I get one which has me stumped. One such arrived today. It says:

Does the moon have an effect on our life and can we get a baby boy with the help of the moon direction? If you know the answer, please let me know.

What a strange question. What am I to reply to that?

An apology

Since moving the site to a new server Scribblings is not as easy to find your way around as it used to be. It used to depend on a script and a database on the server but is currently served as ‘flat html’.

I have some ideas about how to make it a bit easier but they depend on writing another script. I hope to get around to it ‘eventually’.
