My one complaint about my safari bungalow was that it didn't have a hammock like all the others did. (Well, okay, if you don't count the scorpion in the sink all night.)

I do like a hammock.

I like a big strong wide hammock. For about 15 minutes.

But I've been in one nice hammock and two crappy hammocks in my life. I read and sleep on my sides so they don't really work for me.

Guys, we signed the lease and have keys to the new house! We move in the 15th but I started painting the kitchen today.This also means I finally have access to a washer/dryer after two months.

So the previous tenant died young (in hospital), and I didn't hear from my landlord for five days while hammering out the lease and I was freaking out and he had a minor heart attack.

Then I didn't hear from him for 4 days and his other rental property had a fire.

IOW, I'm sageing THE FUCK outta the house after I'm done painting. The landlord is a sweet, really amenable guy, and the house is well-kept, but...SAGEING.

Our wings are not tired.

Thank you, Nanita. I need to hear evidence of good things happening.

My one complaint about my safari bungalow was that it didn't have a hammock like all the others did.

One of the cruise ships parked next to the one I was on had hammocks on the balconies and I was immensely jealous. I would have slept on the balcony in a hammock every night.

Yes! Sage away but this sounds like a nice fit for you guys.

I gotta say my hammock experiences have been good. The best memory ever was going to Key West a few months after Brendon was born and our hotel room had a hammock on the balcony. Nursing baby, books, doting hubby, and hammock. It was a glorious weekend spent reading, nursing, and sleeping, most of the time on that balcony.

The status is NOT quo.

Pix is totally right and ND is wronger than a thing that is wrong

YES I AM. I, too, would sleep in a hammock most (warm) nights, were it practical.

Nanita, thanks for that info. I appreciate their moral stance.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The Viking longship hammock is excellent but I'm sure I'd fall out of it and impale myself.

My hammock stance is Yes, anywhere you can fit one. Come to think of it, I have two pines trees fairly close together...

Matt, that looks like a fine hammock, and I wish you ease of putting it together. The cats will enjoy it too!

The cats have their own mini-hammock that they haven't touched since about a week after I set it up. Though I do intend to move it alongside the big one and model proper napping behavior for them.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I have no strong opinions on hammocks. Except for the Viking hammock stand, and my opinion of that is WANT.

The last time I tried to get into a hammock (which was on a stand), it flipped over and I landed on the ground. I wasn't hurt, but that has made me very suspicious of any hammock.
