Tara ,'Empty Places'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
-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.
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.
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.
I'm a fan of this style of hammock chair. All the relaxation, none of the falling on your face trying to stand up again.
I spent most of a week, hugely pregnant with Sara, reading Order of the Phoenix in one of these, in the Outer Banks: [link]
Fucking BLISS.
Someone down the street from me has a hanging bed set up on their front porch. Which seems neat until I think about linens left out in the open with rain and bugs.
If I could set up a comfortable bed on my balcony, I'd sleep there in the summer.
Have not fallen down again, so that's nice.
I fell down for you, -t. I hope the universe accepts my sacrifice and takes away your vertigo.
Also, ow.
