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.
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Getting out of hammocks is the hard part. But getting up from sitting down is generally hard, I find. I definitely prefer lying crosswise in a hammock without bars (Brazilian-style? Not sure about the nomenclature) to my body making a line between the trees or posts or whatever. If that is part of the experiment.
Have not fallen down again, so that's nice. I'm ignoring it and hoping it goes away, for now.
