Is this baby name too "out there"?

January 8th, 2012 15 comments

Thinking of naming my baby girl Irieanna (eye-ree-Anna). My husband and I were married in Jamaica and one day while we were taking a romantic walk on the beach, we stopped and took a seat on a hammock. We started talking about the future and we agreed that the name Irie (a saying in Jamaica) would be a really cool name and that if we ever had a girl, that’s what we would name her.
Plus my mothers middle name is Irene…so it is sentiment in so many ways. I added the "anna" to try to make it sound a bit less…idk..hippie freak lol…But do you think it’s too "out there" lol. Thank you for your answers!
Haha..noooo I’m not from the getto..hahaha…but thanks for the insight

What to do for a long bike ride?

December 19th, 2011 5 comments

Going to do my first long ride, I’m planning on riding from key largo to key west (about 100 miles). But I was wondering what do you do for these kind of rides. Things I should bring? Good meal to eat before? Snacks to keep me going? About how long does a 100 mile ride take for a less experienced rider? Also if anyone has ever biked the keys how is it? I’ve read a little on the ride and people have done it and said its not too bad except small patches of small shoulders with traffic and drunk drivers at night, but I won’t be riding at night. Sunscreen is a definite haha, going to be a long, beautiful, hot ride that hopefully ends in a hammock on the beach.

There might be a time when I have three rats (maybe) so I think all of these would hold them. If anyone has ever had any of these cages before I would love their input on them, though the reviews say they’re pretty good. Thanks so much!

September 10th, 2011 1 comment

Find the tension in each of the two ropes supporting a hammock if one is at an angle of theta1= 19 above the horizontal and the other is at an angle of theta2= 37 above the horizontal. The person sleeping in the hammock (unconcerned about tensions and ropes) has a mass of 70 kg.
that doesnt work, itried using both equations

Will my hamster use a Hammock?

September 2nd, 2011 5 comments

If I buy her a Hammock will she lay in it?

can someone continue this story for me plzz?

September 1st, 2011 3 comments

‘Arghh’, shouted Mrs Hammock. The classroom was going wild. The children were standing on tables, and others were drawing on the walls. Mrs Hammock was outrages with anger. She was about to burst, when suddenly the bell rang for home time. All students grabbed their bags and rushed out of the room. Mrs hammock slumped down in her chair while looking around her classroom full of drawings of places and figures that don’t even make sense. Models of dolls and atoms hanging down from the ceiling like chandelers. Staring at that fact the she must deal with this everyday, At the same time thinking of what went through her mind of becoming a kindergarden teacher
i need good ideas plzz

Bush was on vacation only 3 weeks out of his entire 8 years. Did the quake wake Obama from his hammock?

August 27th, 2011 15 comments

Did the earthquake wake Obama from his hammock on Martha’s Vineyard?

Or did it knock his golf ball off course on the putting green?

Obama has been in the White House a total of 18 days since he took office. Everywhere else, has been golfing, jet skiing, at Martha’s Vineyard, Camp David, Hawaii, Tahiti, Cancun, Monaco, the Bahamas, etc.

Where can I move that fits my criteria?

I already know that this will get some negative responses, but here goes. I am currently living in Alaska… and hate it, with a passion. I was born and raised in Southern Oregon, and when jobs became more scarce and the small town I lived in became more depressed, I came to Alaska with my Fiance who was already working up here and thought we should give it a try. While I agree the economy is better here, and jobs are not as scarce, the cost of living is still ridiculous and the weather is awful. The cold and snow and rainy summers are one thing, but the lack of sun light is something that I can no longer tolerate. I agree that its lovely here, but just not what we wanted in a place to settle down and buy a house and what not.
What I am looking for is a place with weather slightliy similar to Southern Oregon, and nothing like Alaska. A place where there are distinctive seasons, Fall colors, lots of summer sun and warmth, a spring where beautiful things actually grow and I can garden more months of the year and be outside a great deal more due to nice weather. I would like this place to be a relatively small town or city with a rural area where we could buy a house that is not surrounded by other houses 10 feet away from it, you know get a bit of property and a bit of privacy. Also would like to be within driving distance to a bigger town or city, in case we needed anything or want a night out on the town. Needs to be within driving distance of the ocean as well, we love to go to the beach during the summer and want to be near one that we could actually walk on and enjoy.
The place also needs to have access to enough forest or woods somewhat close by so that my man can still enjoy his hunting, fishing, camping, ect. A place where I can channel my inner Southern Belle and drink tea on the sun porch during the summer and have a huge flower garden, and hammock for lazy reading days. A place with good swimming and boating access near by, lakes or river is fine. And finally, a place that is safe and would be suitable to raise children, should we decide to have them down the road. Some place beautiful.
Maybe you live someplace like this, or have been to this place, or maybe it sounds like someplace you have heard of? Any ideas? I would like to look into moving later this year or early next.

Thanks for any ideas and suggestions! :)

Is cotton bad material in a rat cage?

August 23rd, 2011 3 comments

Because cotton can fray, is it bad to make a hammock of out it for my rats? I would probably fold and sew the edges..

How should i end this short story?

August 22nd, 2011 1 comment

I was lying in the hammock enjoying the sun on my face when i heard the front gate open. I looked up and saw a man standing there crazily staring at me, his face looked as if it were. My breathing got hard. I tried to twist out of the hammock but my foot was stuck. Moving hard my foot was finally free. Screaming I started to sprint. It seamed like an eternity before I finally stopped running and looked behind me. He wasn’t there. I was terrified to go back to my house so I went to my friend’s house, which was only about a mile away. As I was getting closer to my friends house my thoughts drifted back to the man who was in my back yard. Who was he? What was he doing at my house? All these thought scrambled through my mind. Not being able to think strait, I started to jog towards my friend’s house. I decided to go inside and tell them about what happened and then call my parents and tell them where I am… My parents! What would happen if the crazy man got to them? Now out of breath I ran into the house without knocking. “Hello?!” I said as I ran around the house searching for anyone. No one was on the first floor. I ran upstairs and of course, no one was there. Wow. I thought to myself. What luck? The first time I have ever come to their house and there not here?
I looked around one more time. This time I saw a shadow move in the living room. “Hello?” I screamed now more scared then before. “Katie? Mrs. Smith?” Why weren’t they answering?

i kno i am a terrible writer =P but can you just give me some critisisim and ideas??
thank you!!
here is more to the story i just added:

I turned my head to face forward and stood, terrified with fear. There he was. Not more then two feet ahead of me. My brain screamed for me to run but my legs felt like boulders, never to leave their position. I began to cry for it was the only thing i could do. He inched closer to me, his head twitched. He came closer and closer and began calling my name. I stood wide-eyed with one thought in my head. I’m going to die.

Should I replace my bed with a hammock?

August 18th, 2011 7 comments

I’ve read different opinions and my main concern is would I sleep better? Brazilian hammocks seem to be popular but is that only for naps and not daily sleeping habits? Thank you.
http://hammock.lifetips.com/cat/60826/hammock-beds/index.html

this is one of the sites I found which made it so intriguing. I would love to find someone that actually sleeps in a hammock overnight. The fabric kind of course, the rope is actually an English alteration.

HELP! I need your ideas! (transitioning almost 1 year old to crib)?

August 17th, 2011 3 comments

My daughter is 11 months old, and has slept in an amby bed up until this point. It’s a cozy hammock that hangs on a spring (from a metal stand). When she moves, it moves. And she can bounce herself back to sleep in the night. Problem is, she’s outgrowing the bed. She’s a sensitive little soul, who doesn’t sleep very well to begin with (she’s a terribly light sleeper and is easily woken in the night).
My son also slept in this bed, until he was about a year old. The good thing about him was that he would nurse to sleep. So I would nurse him, ease him into his crib and when he woke I would do the same thing again (until he got used to being in the bed). My daughter doesn’t nurse to sleep. It’s easy to put her to bed, in the amby. I hand her her blanket, say goodnight, turn her music on and leave. done. I tried putting her in her crib for nap today, and she acted like I was trying to kill her! (I expected no less, really). We’ve got some time before this is completely necessary. But I would like to start to try.

I need all the suggestions and advice you can give me :)
Thanks!!

How many rats will this cage hold (+chewing through hammock)?

August 15th, 2011 4 comments

Cage: http://i37.tinypic.com/3538908.jpg

Dimensions are 1′x2′x3′

Also, I no longer have that hammock in there because my ratties love to chew through the straps and send it tumbling down :P Is there anything I can do do prevent them from doing this, or any material I can use that they won’t chew through?

how do i talk to him…?

August 13th, 2011 1 comment

my family and i have a cottage that we go to every summer and last year i met this really cute hot funny guy but it was only for an hour or so because of people i was talking to (which i no longer speak to). after he started going by my cottage when i was out because i liked to lay in the hammock and read. at one point my little brother was walking up to the park and he saw him. well the guy stopped him and asked how old i was and what was my name. my brother told him and came back over to me kinda creeped out and told me. i glanced up and he saw me and jumped in the water. and he continued to pass me, one day i had head phones in and he and his friend walked by and the friend was like hey dude is that ur girlfriend and they guy was like no shut up man i think she heard u but they didnt think so cuz i was listening to music lol. but anyways i think i played a little to hard to get or something cuz i really liked him but i am also wayyyy too shy so i didnt say anything. this year we were up and i saw him for the first 4 or 5 days of being there and he was always at the beach. me and my bro would swim and he would look over and i would glance back but he never said anything or came by my cottage (which is right next to the beach on the water) so i dont know if he still likes me…. i dont even know how to start talking to him. im too shy and i dont know what to do can you help me please?

Does there exist a floor-standing "Y" or "fork" brace?

August 11th, 2011 1 comment

I am trying to hang a hammock in my apartment with eye hooks. One side is screwed into a metal stud and the other is screwed into a metal stud as well, however the stud is so far back that it will only hold the back of the hook in place and the front of the eye hook most likely will sag the thick drywall below it. A solid floor-standing rod that could cradle the eye hook would be the perfect solution, given that I do not have sufficient floor space for a hammock cradle.

Thanks.
