When I was a kid, we had hammock hooks stretching across the back porch -- do those posts count as trees for ND?
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Huh. Got out of bed and immediately fell over. I don't exactly feel dizzy but I have very little ability to keep my balance. Is this vertigo? Never experienced this before.

I was going to ask why the Oxford comma wasn't on the list - but are we all in agreement on that one?
I considered including it, but on reflection I concluded that we are overwhelmingly in favor. If there are outliers, well, they are wrong and I'm ignoring them. Just like ND on this hammock issue.

Oh dear, -t! That sounds potentially like vertigo, or something else No Good.

How about a hammock strung between a tree and a fence post? (I might be asking for a friend. Maybe.)

Thrive to spite them
I want a sunny day and a hammock. Instead I have a windy rainy day, no hammock and got asked to come in early to work.
We hired a new guy who was going to replace the woman who left. Only the new guy decided that retail wasn't for him or he was "booking gigs now" (he's a local musician) and he just doesnt want to do things he doesn't feel like doing (such as showing up on time, tucking in his short, etc). So less than 2 weeks after he was hired he gave his 2 week notice.
And has called out every shift since. Dude also said he was planning to give Nashville a try. He is 26 and from what I understand he is talented but I don't things is going to do well in a competitive place like Nashville if he only does things he wants to.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
-t, I hope whatever it is gets resolved quickly, but it does sound like vertigo to me.
We had a hammock (on a stand, but Alaskan trees are Really Not Suitable for hammock supporting) as I was growing up, and I know I liked it, but I don't think I'd enjoy one now. However, I'd be willing to test that theory on a tropical beach.

Ann, that's a ferret.
If we're talking tropical beaches, I'd be very happy with a large towel spread out on the sand. No need to go to the effort of setting up a hammock.

I would also like to participate in this study. Hammock or control group, I'm not picky.

Because books.
Hammocks are delightful -- any old way -- until you try to get out of them. Or until I try to get out of them, anyway.
Balance ~ma to -t. Vertigo sounds awful.
