Where can I get a good hammock in LA?

July 26th, 2011 1 comment

I know there’s lots of them online but I want to see it before buying it, does anyone know a store that sells them in Los Angeles? I don’t like the ones with a stand, I want something I can hang on my trees outside. I saw them at target but I don’t like the kind they have I want something more like a Mexican style ones.

Give me a few great tropical rock songs?

I’m not looking for Beach Boys (even though I do love them), I’m looking for songs that would be absolutely perfect for laying in a hammock on a tropical beach, on a lazy day, just sipping some pink lemonade. Examples would be "I’m Yours" by Jason Mraz or "Constellations" by Jack Johnson. Anything like that.

Why wont my rat come to me?

July 23rd, 2011 4 comments

i just got a female rat from a local petstore (she and her litter mates were much healthier looking than petco and petsmart rats) i know they need a friend but my mom hardly allowed me to get one. i have had her for 3-4 days and she will let me hold her, she has groomed my finger, and she fell asleep next to me last night…but when i go to the cage she does not come to me, i have to reach in and gently grab her to get her out, the only food she will eat directly from me is yogurt on a spoon, but she wont take anything else from me. she also is very energetic outside the cage, sniffing everything and climbing around, but when i put here inside, she hardly moves, she will climb up to her hammock, or go inside her house, but other than that she hardly moves, and if she is walking somewhere, will sometimes randomly stand still for a bit….is she just new and nervous?? and if i can hold her without objection, why wont she come to me or take food???? sorry for rambling on but i am just a bit confused… 8-]
useful answers only please. and yes, i am sure rats find all humans weird lookin. 8-]
thanks, i have watched those videos, and did follow the first few steps…but what if she wont take food from you, and doesnt get at all excited when she sees food??? and she doesnt act scared when i hold her, she sniffs around and climbs my hands….

how do solve this math problem?

Five sailors from a northern land are shipwrecked on an uninhabited island with
thousands of coconut palm trees. They have never seen coconuts before, but
quickly figure out that you can drink the milk and eat the meat inside. They also
figure out that the palm fronds can be used as a roof for their shelter and woven
into many useful items.
After several years on the island, one night as the sun is setting they see a light
on the horizon. It is a ship and they hope that in the morning the ship will arrive to
rescue them. They have spent many evenings sitting around fantasizing about how
rich they would be if they could bring these amazing coconuts back to their
homeland. They start going around in the dark and finding as many coconuts as
they can. They bring them down to the beach and make a pile of coconuts that they
will take with them when they are rescued. Exhausted and happy with their
coconut supply, they all go to bed.
As they lay in their hammocks each man becomes suspicious of the others and
starts to worry about whether they can trust them to share the coconuts fairly. One
of the men sneaks down to the beach and decides that he will take one fifth of the
coconuts and hide them away for himself. He counts out one fifth of the number of
coconuts that are there and takes them away into the woods. While this was
happening a monkey was sitting in a nearby tree watching. After the man went
away, the monkey climbed down and took a coconut from the pile for himself.
Shortly after the first man returned to bed, a second man had the same thoughts.
He sneaks down to the beach and decides that he also will take one fifth of the
coconuts and hide them away for himself. He counts out one fifth of the number of
coconuts that are still there and takes them away into the woods. The monkey was
still sitting in the tree watching. After the man went away the monkey climbed
down and took another coconut from the pile for himself. As you can imagine the
same thing happens with the third and fourth men. They each take one fifth of the
coconuts that they find, and each time the monkey comes down and takes one.
Finally the last of the five men comes to take his share. He looks at the pile which
has gotten much smaller and knows that he has been betrayed by the others. He
decides to take all of the coconuts that are left and take them away into the woods.

What was the smallest number of coconuts that could have been in the pile to start with?

because you are dealing with whole coconuts the number of can’t be fraction or decimals.

Anyone ever used a hammock while in labor? Help me find one!!?

July 19th, 2011 3 comments

While reading one of my pregnancy and delivery books, I came across these hammocks that are used in labor and delivery to support the mama under the arms. The hammock (could be just a very long piece of fabric too) is hung in a loop from the ceiling and mama leans over the fabric with it tucked under her arms to allow support and weight to be taken off her feet when labor has progressed. Can be adjusted so mama is standing or kneeling. I am considering making one if I cannot find it but not sure how that will fly with the hospital!! :P Any idea where I could find one??
Thanks!!
I will check with the hospital…That hadn’t occurred to me! :P This is birth #5 and I would have LOVED to have one of these with the others when I got to the exhaustion part :) I will be water birthing again too!

My sister and I are looking to rent a little shack on the beach in Hawaii, how do we find the good deals?

July 15th, 2011 2 comments

We want to rent a place for about two months. We’re on a budget, so we don’t need anything fancy. We’ll be happy with a little place sleeping in a hammock! Just as long as it’s close to the beach so we can relax and surf. We are currently living pretty far away, so how can we find a place without actually traveling there? If anyone has a place there that they rent out, or knows someone that does that would help a TON! Thanks

Can I have a hammock in my room without drilling into the wall or ceiling?

July 14th, 2011 2 comments

I’ve found this product on play.com http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/934387/Hang-Out-Hammock/Product.html and it seems really cool however I’d want it in my room. The problem is it’d be for my house at Uni which I don’t own, I’m only renting so I can’t drill into the walls or ceiling. I also can’t afford a proper hammock stand. So I’m just wondering if there is any cheap way of setting up a hammock in my room without having to spend loads on a stand or drill into the walls or ceiling.

Thanks in advance :)
Is there anyway of making a cheap stand or anywhere that sells them cheaply?

Would Paul Ryan be where he is today without the Social Security hammock providing for him…?

…after his father passed away when he was a teenager?

He says himself, that it allowed him to be able to save for college… so why does he now buy into the whole Ayn Rand ruse, and want to remove the Social Security safety net for others?

if you could. . .?

live anywhere in the world…. where would it be and what would you do ?

i would live in the suburbish areas of France right on the coast. I would have 6 dogs and hammocks in trees everywhere so i could read with no intense interruptions.. I would own my own private part of the beach and just lay there and listen to the waves… i would also own my own photography studio and dance studio. my neighbor would live like a mile away….. so i could blast music with my windows open at 4 in the morning if i’d like…. =]

how about you?

July 12th, 2011 2 comments

I seen many materials used to make a hammock.Anything from canvas to silk seems to be used, but Im trying to find the right material for my weight, comfort, durability, mobility, etc. Im 6′1" and weigh around 210lbs and was looking for a relatively light material to take on backpacking trips with me. What type of material would be best, and what weight fabric or material should I look for?
